AN: Sadly, I do not own Glee. I am not Ryan Murphy (don't let the Kangol fool you.) I am just a super fan with slightly weird fanfic ideas that don't go away until they're posted online. This story deals with the topics of pedophilia, ephebophilia, sexual abuse, and domestic abuse. This story is a darker view of the Schueberry relationship, and it's AU. All you need to know is: Brittana and Klaine are couples in this story. So enjoy!
He's sick. It's something he's known his whole life. He was never a normal boy, at first he thought that maybe his mother smothered him too much or that his father didn't do enough to make him "a man." But it wasn't their fault, not entirely. He thought that marrying the girl of his dreams, Terri Del Monaco would be enough. But it wasn't. He couldn't shake his feelings. He would subtly (and sometimes not so subtly) tell Terri that she could lose some weight, or that she could look younger.
Sometimes he would have her role-play as a teenage version of herself, utilizing her old Cheerios uniform to his fulfillment. But it wouldn't be enough. He would go to work, a job he chose to feed his need for young girls. Sometimes girls would outright proposition him for sex. My parents can't know I'm failing Spanish . You can help me out here. But he didn't want those girls, sure a blowjob here and there would suffice but it wasn't enough. He didn't want to be with those girls. He married that girl.
The moment he first laid eyes on Rachel Barbra Berry was at some Young Talent of Lima show. She was 8 years old and perfect. She could sing better than most of the adults he knew. She sang "Don't Rain on My Parade," and he could just tell that she would become a force to be reckoned with once she got older. He could tell that the small eight year old girl was destined for the big-time, and nothing would stand in her way. But most importantly to Will, he could tell that she would always be small. She would always look younger than her peers, and her need for attention and stardom would put her in vulnerable situations. Situations that he would benefit from. It was at that moment that he knew he had to have her. Nothing would stand in his way of having Rachel Berry.
Fate was in his favor that day. One of Terri's terrible nephews was performing in the same show, apparently his parents told the kid that he was a talented singer. He wasn't. And he was dragged to the show under the promise of Terri role-playing as one of his students, some 15-year old girl named Fannie Fabray. He even had a wig matched down to a tee to the golden yet pale blond color of her hair, and he even somehow managed to find shorts like the sinfully short ones that Figgins somehow (and thankfully) allowed her to roam the halls in. Terri never liked doing things like that for him, but luckily he could use his words to persuade her into doing whatever he wanted. He only had to actually force her once or twice, but she learned to listen after that.
After hearing Rachel sing for the first time in his life, he couldn't get her out of his mind. He couldn't forget the pure excitement on her face when she won her first place trophy, or the Navy dress with stars polka-dotted on it that she wore, or the way her fathers would gush about their baby girl to anyone who listened. He listened. After the trophies were handed out (Terri's nephew got a "Good job" ribbon, which was code for "You suck,") there was a short reception where the kids could interact, parents could schmooze with each other over their "talented" kids, and where Will Schuester could try to talk to the 8-year old phenom.
He spent two hours at Terri's side, going around talking with other people that they knew from high school or from around Lima. He didn't know the Berry family at all. From the gossip straight from Carole Hudson's mouth, they moved from Westerville to Lima so that they could run a law firm that the shorter 's father left him in his will. He found out that their names were Leroy and Hiram, and in addition to being an interracial couple, they were also married with a daughter that was conceived through a surrogate, and they spoiled her rotten with whatever she wanted.
They lived in Lima Heights, the hoity-toity gated community where the who's-who of Lima lived. She attended Lima Heights Preparatory Academy of the Arts (a school Will tried and failed to teach at,) and she was at the top of her classes. He also found out that they were Jewish (Rachel's surrogate mom was Jewish as well,) and that she wanted to attend Carmel High School so that she could be apart of the Number One show choir, Vocal Adrenaline. From that day, he wanted to become the director of that Glee club (but he lost the job out to Shelby Corcoran.)
He finally got to talk to Rachel when Terri sent him to get her a piece of cake. Her little pristine white Mary Jane shoes were lifted off the ground as high as her tippy-toes would take her, as she tried to reach for the last piece of Marble cake. He quickly intervened and passed her the last piece on a plate with a smile. She looked up at him, flashing him her deep chocolate eyes and muttering a soft "thank you," before disappearing to her dads side.
That voice was forever ingrained in his mind, he would never forget it. He never felt his heart beat that fast, not even when he married Terri. And it would never beat that fast again for another 6 years when he actually got to speak to Rachel Berry again. He also realized that he gave her the last piece of cake, so he had to take his wife a brownie (she would later recognize this day as the day her marriage began to crumble.)
No matter what Terri was saying that night, or even as she fulfilled his fantasy of role-playing as Fannie Fabray, he wouldn't stop thinking about Rachel. How he wanted her to be the one he was with, how he imagined her as a teenager and being one of his teenage conquests who would offer him their body in exchange for a grade. But he knew Rachel Berry wouldn't be that girl. Rachel Berry had standards, and he wanted to be them.
She wanted to join a glee club? He re-established the one at McKinley with Sandy Ryerson. Sure it was no Vocal Adrenaline, but they made it to Nationals a few times and he even made sure that they went around schools to perform in efforts to "get the youth of Lima interested in the arts." He didn't care about the youth of Lima, he cared about Rachel Berry.
The day they went to her school to perform, she was at home sick and didn't even get to see the spectacle he created just for her. He did have some small, pale kid named Kurt tell him how wonderful the Glee club was and how his friend Rachel would've enjoyed it. His heart swelled at the mention of her name, and he thanked the kid and walked off.
Later on that night he had sex with Terri, and this time she didn't have to dress up as anyone. He didn't have her wear a white headband like the one Rachel wore when he first met her. He didn't have her wear a Coffee brown wig or wear the star patterned lingerie set he brought her from the mall. Terri thought he was getting better, that he was finally over his thing for teenage girls. But little did she know that the only thoughts running though his mind was Rachel's voice singing "Don't Rain on my Parade" and Kurt's soft child-like voice telling him how Rachel would've appreciated the Glee club's performance. He had a chance, and all he had to do was wait until she stepped foot into McKinley High School. He could wait, afterall isn't the saying "Good things come to those who wait?"
