Hey Jealousy
summary- Mike agrees to help Rachel make Puck jealous, but will he end up falling for her? And will he bee too late?
a/n: This just popped into my head, and they aren't a lot of Mike and Rachel stories so I thought what the hey?
"Hey Mike." Rachel said smoothing her skirt and fixing her hair, she did a quick glance at the piano for it's shinny surface.
"Hey, this all for a certain someone with a mo-hawk?" He asked her referring to the constant primping. He and Rachel had gotten pretty close when he found her crying in the auditorium one day at lunch. Someone had slushied her and ruined her new shirt, he sat with her and helped her get cleaned up. They had been close friends ever since.
"Maybe." She said laughing he already knew she was head over heels in love with Noah.
"Oh hey Puck." Mike said, she turned quickly and saw no one there and looked at him angrily. She walked over and shoved him and he laughed at her and they laughed together.
"Hey guys, what's so funny?" Puck said interrupting their laughing fest.
"Oh Mike just being a jerk." Rachel said nervously her heart started beating faster just by hearing his voice.
"Oh Mike dude last night; Santana, she should be illegal." Puck told Mike, Rachel's heart literally sank hearing her classmate's name. Mike looked over at Rachel and felt bad for her.
"Nice." He said quietly.
"I um feel dizzy, I need some air." Rachel said running out of the choir room feeling like she was going to faint. Rachel sat on the steps with her head in her hands and she began to lightly cry.
"Rach." She looked up to see Mike giving her a small smile.
"Hey." She said quietly, he sat down next to her and pulled her into a tight hug and stroked her hair.
"Movie tonight, you can even pick a musical." He said making her smile. Shortly after the became friends they would watch movies at her house since her dad's were never around much.
"Thanks." She said hugging him again.
"Uh Shue wants you guys." Puck told them.
"Right." Rachel said getting up and walking inside, Puck gave Mike a weird look and Mike just shrugged.
After glee Mike grabbed Rachel and his bag and waited for Rachel to finish discussing ideas with Mr. Shue. He smiled when Rachel told Mr. Shue she had at least twelve more suggestions. She looked over at Mike waited for her and smiled, when she did his heart literally missed a beat.
"Thanks for waiting." She said looping her arm through his arm.
"No prob, Rach." He said smiling.
Rachel climbed into Mike's car and he got in and turned on the c.d player, it was a c.d she burned him when the first become friends. She smiled at the fact he still had it let alone listened to it. Surprisingly there was no broadway songs on the c.d and he loved almost every single song, each one reminded him of Rachel somehow. Rachel looked forward and froze, Mike looked confused and turned to look straight to see Puck making out with Santana. He quickly drove off, the whole rest of the car ride was silent.
"You okay?" He asked her.
"I have a plan." She said turning to him excitingly.
"What?" He asked her.
"You and me can pretend to be together, it will make him jealous and I can get Kurt to give me a makover-" She started.
"Wow Rach, i don't know." He said interrupting her.
"Oh please Mike, please." She said looking at him with those big brown eyes, with that look she could probably get anything she wanted.
"Okay." He sighed.
"Thank you thank you thank you." She said hugging him.
"You owe me." He said laughing.
"You are the best friend ever." She said smiling.
"Yeah I know." He said smiling.
"You want to pick the movie?" She asked when they got to her living room.
"Hmm, how bout The Way We Were?" He knew it was of her top five movies coming in a close second, from West Side Story.
"Awh the things you do for me." She said giving him another hug.
"Yeah Yeah I know I'm amazing." He said squeezing her tight.
The sat on the couch with a large blanket the were sharing, and a bowl of popcorn on the coffee table. Rachel took her shoes off and curled into a small ball with her head on Mike's chest. He smiled grabbing some popcorn, looking down at Rachel it was times like this were all her craziness was canceled out. Maybe this plan wasn't such an awful idea?
