Hey everybody! This is a one of a one-shot series that I am writing as a way to apologize for the lack of updates on DV for the past couple of months. Someone bought me Katy Perry's album for Christmas and almost every song on it reminded me of Puckleberry. Plus my totally awesome cousin (no really she's amazing) bought me an "I Love Puck" ring (I squealed... it was embarrassing).
So for these shots... There should be two or three at least and then Dream Vacation will be updated by the end of the week and back to weekly updates.
Hope everyone enjoys and again I own absolutely nothing... Glee belongs completely to Ryan Murphy and all the Songs belong to Katy Perry.
BTW as with all my stories there was no Puck/Quinn (sorry to all their fans out there but I REALLY dislike that particular pairing.) but you may see some Rachel/Finn.
Song: Peacock by Katy Perry.
Rachel sighed as she grabbed her books out of her locker. She was halfway through her first day of Junior year and nothing had changed. She was still seen as the demanding bossy Broadway singing freak. She had hoped that after last year with the Club winning Sectionals and placing in Regionals that things would be better. At least she thought the group would have bonded especially thinking that Glee was over only to realize they were granted another year. Truth was the Club had all bonded...just not with her.
They blamed her for breaking Finn's heart.
Quinn had broken up with him at the end of last year after catching him staring at Rachel one to many times. Which of course meant that her, Santana, and Brittany hated her for that reason alone.
It had only taken two days after their breakup before Finn was asking her out. It had been what she been wanting all year and yet something felt wrong. She brushed it off and gave him her biggest smile before squealing a yes. From that moment long it had been the Rachel/Finn show never one without the other. Kurt and the others had remarked more than once how sickening it was to see them together. They all thought they were perfect together and how happy they were. All except Puck... Rachel reflected puzzled.
He would smirk whenever he saw them together and Finn would throw his arm around her. As though he could tell her smile was forced and she was fighting the urge to shake it off.
Rachel did not know what was wrong with her. Finn was great but his touch just didn't feel...right. His hand never fit quite right with hers, his hugs felt awkward. And when he leaned in to kiss her well she had to stop herself from cringing and leaning backwards. His kiss wasn't bad it was just...boring. Not that she had a lot of experience with other kissers but she didn't feel at all like the heroines in her romance novels. The kind of kiss that makes you feel like you were on fire and you would melt into his arms.
Maybe it was unrealistic but she had dreamed of feeling like that her whole life and anything less just didn't seem worth it.
Everything had come to head last week at Mike's last day of summer party. They had been standing in Mikes kitchen with his arms wrapped around her waist. When he leaned in to kiss her she begged her body to feel something even a small spark.
When he pulled back she growled furiously before yanking his head back and slamming his lips against hers. Finn seemed surprised by her action but quickly took charge. His tongue sweeping across her lips begging for entrance which she quickly granted curling hers tongue around his. Their lips working furiously against each other. After a few minutes they pulled apart for some much needed air. While Finn was gasping and muttering something about mailmen Rachel blinked back frustrated tears. Wondering what was wrong with her.
Over Finns shoulder she caught a glimpse of Noah, she blushed realizing her must have seen the entire exchange. He stared at her for a few minutes before his shoulders started shaking with suppressed laughter and he walked away shaking his head.
The next day Rachel broke up with him. It was the worst conversation of her young life. He had been stunned, begging to know why. What had he done? When she could not really give him an answer since she didn't think it would help to tell him that his kiss and touch made her cringe. He went from heartbroken to furious demanding to if there was someone else, which she quickly reassured him that was not the case. He had stared at her before storming away. As he left Rachel knew she should probably feel sad and maybe even tearful that her relationship with Finn was over but all she felt was this amazing sense of relief.
However it did make school difficult. Finn was walking around looking as though he had been kicked in the stomach. As soon as Kurt and Mercedes had found out about the breakup they called her up yelling at her for using Finn. Matt and Mike just stared at her with a disappointed expression on their face. Quinn and the other Cheerios kept making snide comments to her in the hallway. All in all it was not a great first day of school.
Really, Rachel reflected furiously as she zipped up her bag. It was nobody's business why she had ended things with Finn. And how dare they all take sides when they knew nothing of the situation.
At least Glee rehearsals did not start back until tomorrow. By then maybe things would have improved although she seriously doubted it. She slammed her locker door shut and turned to see Puck standing behind her. He gazed down at her with a glint in his eyes, a smirk playing around his lips.
She eyed him warily, "Yes?"
"I heard you dumped Finn the Wonder Boy"
She glared at him before stalking away not bothering to respond.
"Couldn't pretend anymore huh" He called after her lazily. She stopped before looking at him cautiously, "What do you mean?"
He grinned, "Please Berry. I can spot a turned on girl a mile away...and you faked it every time."
Rachel gaped at him before turning to walk away.
He fell into step beside her, "So what? You realized that eventually you would have to sleep with him and didn't think you could fake an entire org-"
"Noah!" She gasped furiously looking around to make sure no-one heard. "That is disgusting and none of your business.
She paused before looking down at the ground, "How did you know?" She asked quietly.
"I'm a stud, Berry."
She rolled her eyes, " Oh, of course." She muttered sarcastically. She snapped her head up looking him square in the eye. "It's all a lie isn't it?"
He looked at her confused, "What is?"
"All of it. There is no such thing as a kiss that makes you feel electric... No such thing as your skin being on fire from his touch. Sure maybe everybody is different but its all exaggerated isn't it? The movies and books paint an unrealistic picture of how it really feels."
Puck stared at her incredulously before breaking into laughter, "Wow Berry. He must have been worst than I thought."
Rachel glared furiously wondering why on earth she was having this conversation with Puck but of all the people around he was the one she trusted the most. She remembered how it use to be between them.
His laughter died down to slow chuckles before leaning in close, "If you really want to know Berry, I could make you scream with nothing more than a touch. I could rock your world beyond anything you could imagine." He whispered low, his long body pressed up against hers. His green eyes darkened as he stared intently into hers.
She ignored the heat that spread up her neck, knowing she was probably blushing. She pushed herself away from him. "Please, Noah. You talk a big game but I doubt that you could do any better than Finn."
He glared at her furiously, "Babe, I can make a girl that is standing across the hall come and I don't even have to touch her."
Rachel made a disgusted noise in the back of her throat before stalking away. While she was disgusted by his crass she was slightly intrigued. Contrary to popular belief there had been guys before Finn and not one had ever made any part of her tingle. And Puck certainly did have a reputation. She had heard all the girls talk about how amazing he was. A slow smile spread across her face as she climbed into her car. She had an idea for Glee tomorrow wondering if he would take the dare.
.
Puck sauntered into Glee rehearsal the next day. He was surprised to see that Berry still had not arrived. She was usually the first one their yakking Mr. Shue ear off about this or that. Although he reflected darkly she was probably trying to avoid the gleeks as much as possible. They had been worse than usual since Finn had spilled his guts like a thirteen year old girl at a slumber party about their break up. He shook his head as they all crowded around him trying to encourage him. Telling him that Rachel was not worth it and he deserved so much better.
He didn't get how they could act like this breakup was so out of the blue. Anyone with eyes could tell that Berry had been miserable all summer. Sure, she put on a good show but he knew better. While he and Berry may not seem like friends he had known her his whole life. There weren't a whole lot of other Jewish families around Lima. They had attended the same temple since they were kids and their families always spent the holidays together.
She had been his best friend. Being there for him when his father left. He was the one she came crying to when her grandmother died when they were nine. The only real mother figure she had. He had always knew Berry was smokin hot. In fact she had been his first kiss in the third grade. While he had been a total douche to her since Jr. High he still knew her better than anyone else.
He could tell that her smile was strained around the edges or that her body would tense up slightly when Finn touched her.
Plus he was a stud... He had seen enough girls panting and gasping with desire to know that Berry was not getting satisfied with Hudson. He was surprised it took her that long to end things.
"Okay... guys" Mr. Shue stood up clapping his hands. "Lets get started... I was thinking that maybe today we cou-"
"Mr. Shue." Tina interrupted from the doorway. Puck blinked curiously as Mr. Shue hurried over. Tina had a long coat over her clothes and dark makeup around her eyes. She whispered frantically, handing him a disk before ducking back into the hall.
"Okay guys... I guess Rachel has put together a special performance with Tina." The teacher told them ignoring the class groans and grumblings as he started the song.
Puck eyes widened as the Rachel walked into the room, she was wearing skin tight dark denim jeans with thigh high boots and white mans dress shirt over a black corset making her breast look like they were about to spill over. Her long brown hair down and tussled like she had been having wild sex all night.
Puck gulped not even noticing that Tina was wearing a similar outfit as she and one of their other girl alternates took their place in the back or that everyone else in the class had gasped when she walked in.
Rachel smiled sensuously as the music began, her hips moving slowly. "I want a see
Your peacock, cock
Your peacock, cock, cock
Your peacock
I wanna see your peacock, cock, cock
Your peacock, cock
Your peacock, cock, cock
Your peacock"
Puck grinned as she sang, never breaking eye contact she walked forward, sitting down hard on his lap as she sang," Word on the street, you got somethin' to show me,
Magical,
colorful,
Mr. Mystery,
I'm intrigued, for a peek, Heard it's fascinating (Come on baby, let me see what you hiding underneath)
Words are misleading
Such a tease, Wanna see the show In 3D, a movie
Heard it's beautiful
Be the judge.
He started to slide his arm around but she slithered away rejoining Tina. Her skin was flushed her eyes silently daring him "And my girls gonna take a vote
Come on baby let me see what you hiding underneath
I want the jaw droppin, eye popin, head turnin, body shockin(Uh, uh, oh, Uh, uh, uh, oh) As she sang she turned towards Finn. His skin flushed with rage as he realized what she was saying. Puck couldn't but snicker his way.
"I want my heart throbbin, ground shakin, show stoppin, amazin(Uh, uh, oh, Uh, uh, uh, oh) She sauntered forward as Tina and what's her name swayed in the background. "Enough talk, heard it all, time to walk the walk
Brake me off, if you bad, show me who's the boss
Need some goose, if you lose, come on take a shot"
She grabbed his shirt bringing his body close to her as she moved her gaze down his body. "I want the jaw droppin, eye popin, head turnin, body shockin(Uh, uh, oh, Uh, uh, uh, oh)
I want my heart throbbin, ground shakin, show stoppin, amazin(Uh, uh, oh, Uh, uh, uh, oh)I wanna see your peacock, cock, cock
Your peacock, cock
Your peacock, cock, cock
Your peacock. "
Puck decided to take her up her offer. He jumped up grabbing her around the waist, grounding his hips into hers. She threw her hands into her hair as she responded. He could feel the heat of her skin and the flush of her cheeks as stared at him. "I wanna see your peacock, cock, cock
Your peacock, cock
Your peacock, cock, cock
Your peacock." Mr. Shue abruptly turned off the music leaving a flushed Rachel, "all-right well... Um" The teacher seemed stunned as though he was not sure what he should do.
"This is such bull shi-"
"Finn" Mr. Shue interrupted quickly. Puck rolled his eyes before scooping up Rachel and throwing her over his shoulder. ( "Noah, you put my down this second!") "Later Mr. Shue. I've got something show my girl."
He then stalked away ignoring all their talking and their teachers attempt to gain back the control of the group.
He carried Rachel clear down the hall not stopping until they were well past the classroom. As he lowered her down he noticed she was glaring up at him, "Noah in case you have not noticed I'm not a sack of Potato's and furthermore I'm not the type who enjoys being-"
She broke off, her sentence forever going unfinished as his lips came down upon hers. She gasped at the contact, feeling heat spread over her. As his tongue claimed hers, Rachel could feel her toes curling and she suddenly doubted her ability to stand. She swayed on her feet and his arm slid around her waist bringing her body up hard against his. She felt like her senses were heightened, she could feel him against every inch of her skin. Her heart was beating fast and furious and her breath was coming fast. She moved her hands to his shirt pulling him even closer causing him to stumble. He chuckled against her lips backing up until her back hit the row of lockers.
He flattened his entire body up against her. She was grateful for the extra support because as his lips moved down her neck she thought she would crumble into ground. As his sucked the skin behind her ear she let out moan before grabbing his head crashing his lips down against hers. They kissed furiously for a few minutes before they broke apart both gasping for some much needed air.
"Wow." She gasped out still holding him tight not sure if her legs worked properly yet.
He nodded his head buried against her shoulder, his hands bracing himself up against the lockers. Rachel ran her hand over his scalp, her fingernails scraping over his Mohawk.
He lifted his head with a small smirk, "well?"
She grinned still slightly out of breath, " not an exaggeration and while you're still all talk you have earned the right for every word. Finn doesn't compare by a long shot."
He leaned down brushing his lips against hers softly, "Damn right." He mumbled against her lips. He pushed himself off before grabbing his backpack. He threw his arm around her shoulders leading her down the hall.
"Noah." Rachel asked curiously after a few seconds of silence.
"Yeah, babe."
"Your girl?" She asked with a cheeky smile.
He looked down at her with smirk, "Hell yeah. You're too hot to let some half-ass pansy have you." He laughed as she swiped at his arm with a mock glare but then he stopped suddenly serious pulling her close, "Seriously, Berry you've been mine since we were seven. I just forgot for awhile." She smiled leaning up to kiss him. He grabbed her hand lacing their fingers together. She grinned down at their hands.
It was a perfect fit.
Hope you enjoy! Let me know what you think! I love hearing from you guys.
