CHAPTER 1 - Of snakes and doves

Joe

Every day I prayed that God realize that I don't want to be this way. Has my prayer been answered yet? I don't know honestly, I'm still waiting for a sign of some sort. Maybe I'm going about this whole thing the wrong way.

I mean lots guys my age go through what I'm struggling with. It's only natural that you have those thoughts and want to act on them. Breast, soft supple lips that you could lock with all day, long flowing hair, curves and soft skin. You'd think that is what I'd want but no. Muscles, piercing eyes that penetrate the very fiber of my being, a deep voice, short hair and a long d-

Bad Joe bad! Don't start thinking impure thoughts! Kinda late for that now.

I don't know what it is but its not like I feel this way towards every guy I look at. Just him, Puck. Yeah I know he isn't the most suitable of partners but I can't help be drawn to the boy.

Too bad we aren't meant to be. No one knows about me and I hope it stays that way, but something tells me it won't be this way for much longer. My dad is a preacher and my mom is a door-to-door bible saleswoman.

If they find out that I have feelings for a boy I would without a doubt be ended. My parents aren't the most accepting of people. They aren't racist, but when it comes to how people live their lives they won't bite their tongues.

The last time My parents thought I was turning away from God they nearly beat me to death. Thank heaven no one can see the bruises. There has to be a way for me to change my parents and make them see that I can't help the way I feel.

I just hope that if and when they find out. I'll be able to stay strong.

Puck

Sitting here in glee club is starting to become a total bore. Yeah we got a few newbies but none of which I'd want to be with. But then HE walks in and I'm in completely in awe. I don't know who he is but I want him! Kinda tall with long dreadlocks and smoky Hazel eyes and a killer smile to match! Get ready kid cuz Puckzilla is comin' your way.

"Alright guys before we start I want to introduce you to our newest member Joe Hart!" Schuester is beyond happy to have another new member to the group.

"Hey guys, my names Joe I'ma sophomore and a member of the God Squad." he said.

And that is what kills me. He's a bible thumper. But I'm not one to resist a challenge, only thing is is for some reason I actually wanna get to know him and shit. Like make it work should we get together. What am I talking about of course we're gonna get together! I am a badass after all! As it deep down you just wanna be like everyone else and enjoy another person for once.

To be honest I'm tired of this reputation as the town whore. Yeah I've fucked countless girls and guys but after awhile it gets boring. Go to a party hit on him or her, talk them up, fuck 'em then leave 'em. Same old same old. I've decided that I'm gonna change.

If you expect me to stop being a badass then you can go fuck yourself. I'm gonna be a badass till the day I die, but if I get with someone I want it to be more than just a meaningless fuck. I want it to be something more.

Kinda like what I had with Quinn, but no kid. Don't get me wrong I love Beth but I'm at that point in life where I need someone. In short I guess you could say that I, Noah Puckerman, am starting to grow up.

"So I'm assigning duets this week. Puck you and Joe will be together this week. Get to know each other. And Puck please for his sake and our sanity play nice." Schuester says and looks at me pleadingly.

"Just because you asked nicely Mr. Schue I'll "play nice" with Joe." I look at Schuester then Joe and he just stands there staring. It was almost as if he was trying to figure me out or see if I posed a threat to him.

I return the look and he backs down. Looks like I'll be able keep this kid in line after all.

Kurt

And what do we have here? A shy quiet closet case with an affinity for scripture and a neanderthal meathead waiting for the perfect time to pounce. Oh I must get these two to be more than just duet partners.

"Mercedes do you see what I see?" I ask the fashion forward black girl sitting next to me.

"If you mean mohawk and church boy staring at eachother then yes... Hold up a sec gay boy. I know you are not thinking what I think you're thinking? Joe isn't gay!" she says with her eyes going wide.

"As far as you know. My gaydar tells me otherwise." I say with an evil grin my face.

"Time for cupid to get to work."

So what do you think? Worth continuing?

Love reviews!
