Caught in between

Relationships involved: Finn/Puck, Finn/Rachel, eventual Puck/Sam.

Chapter 1

Sam came back from the gent's, when Puck decided he and Finn should leave. It was not his idea to have a double date with Finn, and Sam with his unexpected date, Karofsky. It was Finn's idea and he had no choice but to go along with it. The whole thing was too weird and he's not enjoying it a single bit. Unlike his boyfriend, Finn was enjoying himself. The food was great and talking to his football team mates, Sam and David have been interesting. Well, seeing them together was interesting. He never would have guessed Sam and David would pair up as a couple. He thought Sam preferred the badass type of guy…someone like Puck. Well, David was not a badass for sure recalling the fact that he cried for a week when Kurt rejected him for another guy from another school. He could be quite a bully sometimes. Then again, that was before he came out to the whole school during Junior Prom just to impress Kurt and yet still get rejected.

"It's getting late, we should go," Puck suggested while getting up from his seat causing Finn to do the same. "But, Puck…I want to stay. This is fun…" "No, come on, let's go Finn…" He insisted as Finn hold on to his shoulders to stop him from leaving the table.

A commotion between the other couple caught Puck's attention. He saw Sam getting uncomfortable from the way David was touching him, "Dave, David…Stop, uh-"

What the hell, Karofsky is being such a perv, he just cannot take his hands off Sam. I can't let him do that to Sam.

"Stop it! He doesn't like it." Karofsky lets go of his arm that was wrapped round Sam's waist quickly. He gave a questioning look at Puck who seemed less unhappy after Karofsky listened to him. Puck was satisfied by his actions. He was not aware of Finn's jealousy. He just paid attention to Sam instead of his own boyfriend. Puck left the place as soon as Finn walked briskly out of the restaurant, devastated. Finn was finally aware of his boyfriend's feelings towards Sam.

As soon as they were out in the streets, Puck voiced his thoughts, "My god, that guy is such a tool-"

"So what? Karofsky is NOT your date."

"Yeah, well I have to work with him in football-"

"Just stop it Puck…I know why it bothers you. It's not because of HIM, it's because he's with Sam!"

"What are you talking abou-"

Finn stopped walking and he looked at Puck with a mixture of upset and anger. His eyes glared at Puck, who was confused at the sudden outburst.

"I've seen the way you look at him. I've seen it before. It was the way you looked at me when I was with Rachel." Tears were starting to accumulate in his eyes. Puck was dumbfounded, he did not know what to say and remained silent.

What? I don't-

"I know you like me, you like Sam too. But you can't have both. I want you to make your choice, Puckerman. It's either ME or him…I'm going home, just…don't follow me." Finn was crying as he left Puck standing in the streets, numb from what just happened. The sudden realisation of his feelings towards Sam suddenly woke him up from his daze.

What am I going to do? I love Finn, but I like Sam ever since the first time I laid eyes on him. The kiss, the kiss was….amazing. I never felt that way when I kissed Finn. Finn and I, we've been best friends from the start and I don't want this to ruin our friendship. DAMN, I'm in deep shit.

Puck let out a loud sigh as he slowly walked home. He just didn't feel like taking a cab, which gives him a lot of time to think about what Finn had said.

About a month ago, Sam had just joined Glee club and Finn was dating Rachel while Puck, he was not dating anyone. It was the same time Puck had sang Billionaire with Sam and realised how beautiful he was. Puck liked the way he sound, and the way he played the guitar. Everything about him was beautiful and Puck bet to himself that Sam had a beautiful body too. That was when he wanted to find out and invited Sam to his house to…hang out. Sam, seeing that he had a chance of making a new buddy accepted the offer and went to Puck's house the next day after school.

They hung out, played some video games and Sam had shown Puck some of his hilarious accents that made Puck laugh to tears. He kept holding on to his abs because it hurt so much from all the laughing. It made Sam blush because he had never found someone who loved his accents so much because most people thought it was stupid. Nobody just seemed to appreciate his great talent except Puck. Puck's initial intension of getting Sam into his bed was forgotten. He was having too much fun just listening to Sam's voice and admiring how cute he looked when he blushed.

Two weeks passed by and their friendship had gotten stronger. However, they only stayed as friends because neither of them had made the move. Well, you see, Sam was gay. He knew Puck was too, but he never had a boyfriend and did not know how to show how he felt towards Puck. He also thought that maybe it would be too rushed since they only got to know each other for a week. On the other hand, seeing that Finn broke up with Rachel because he found out that he was not into girls, also because Puck had had a chance to be with Finn, his first crush, Puck started dating Finn.

Everything seemed as though Puck and Sam were not fated to be with each other. Both of them were following different paths and moving on with whatever they had. It however, did not feel right for Sam. He knew that there was a reason he met Puck. He felt that the reason they get along so well was because they were actually meant for each other. Not just to be best buddies. It was all possible between them until Puck started dating Finn. Why would Puck do that?

(Sam's thoughts) Is it because Puck loves Finn and not me? I thought we clicked, I thought he liked ME. I think I love him, more than I want to. If we were not meant to be, it shouldn't feel like this. I don't like feeling this way. I have to do something to prove that I'm wrong, so that I can move on and stop thinking that I have a chance with Puck.

"Hi, what are you doing here?" Puck found Sam in the boy's locker room wearing a grey undershirt and black FBT shorts. He was all sweaty and he looked really hot, Puck noticed. "Um, nothing. Just finished up from the gym," Sam replied as he wiped his face with a towel.

"Oh, cool." Puck nodded in accord. "So, what do you think of the Glee club so far?"

"I think it's great, fun! Oh, speaking of glee club, I was thinking of doing a number for this week's assignment and I kinda… need some guys to sing with me because the song sounds better as a group, you know. So I was thinking if you could help."

"Wh..Sure. Of course, why not." Puck smiled.

Sam laughed, because he could not help but feel happy when he talks to Puck. The feeling is mutual but Puck knew they were just best friends.

Right before glee club practice, on Friday that week, Puck and Sam reached early as promised. The group wanted to have a last rehearsal before the performance. The rest of the guys who were supposed to help Sam with the song were late. Artie who was usually punctual was having the runs while Mike, who had worked the previous night, had overslept. So that leaves the two of them sitting in the choir room, chatting about video games and movies.

"Dude, that's fucking accurate," Puck admitted when Sam acted out a line by Darf Vader from Star Wars.

"Thanks, is that my best one yet?"

"The best of the best…" Puck patted Sam on the shoulder. They both laughed. Their laughter stifled and they had a moment when their eyes met for a short while. Sam felt that it was his chance. He leaned in towards Puck quickly, slowing down when their lips were really close. He closed the gap and planted a soft kiss on Puck's lips. Puck gasped but parted his lips as Sam continued to press his against Puck's. He slipped his tongue into Puck's mouth and deepened the kiss, as he pulled Puck closer by the back of Puck's head in his hand. Their mouths enjoying the new taste and soon they were losing their breaths. They parted with a soft smack sound coming from their lips.

They were startled by a sudden clacking of footsteps coming into the choir room. It was Rachel who intruded their perfect moment. Sam quickly jerked his hand away from Puck's neck and both of them looked towards her wide eyed.

"You boys are here already? I thought I was early I wanted to practice my song. Well, since you're here, will you help me?" Her grin was so wide that it made both of them so nervous.

"Uhm…," was all Sam managed to say.

"Sure, Rach. We could help, what do you want us to do?" Puck intersected. Puck eyed Sam for a second, asking him to act cool.

"Great! Let's see…" Rachel continued. She smirked when her back was facing the boys as she looked through her music sheets. There was no way she did not see what had happened between the two of them. In her mind, she was already had a plan to get Finn back and she was going to make sure it was going to work out.

That resulted in Finn finding out about how close Sam and Puck were but Rachel made sure he did not know about the kiss because then her plan would not work. That lead to Finn suggesting that he and Puck should have a double date with Sam and someone he wants to bring. Puck was not at all happy with the idea but it was the only way he could show Finn that there was nothing going on between him and Sam. That plan was going smoothly of course, right until Karofsky comes into the picture and ruined Puck's reputation. Although, Puck is not so sure what his reputation is exactly. To be with Finn, he's first love and be secretly in love with his new best friend, Sam?

How is that even possible? Can you be in love with two people at once?

(After the double date)

Before you know it, Puck was standing on the doorstep of the Evan, his mind racing to find the right words he wants to say when the door opens.

"Puck?"

"Sam. Um, would you… like… togooutwithme?" Puck rushed his words. "Like, you know, on a date."

"Wh? I thought you're dating Finn."

"Well, clearly that didn't come into your mind when you decided to kiss me."

"That's true…Does Finn know, about that?"

"I haven't told him…" Fuck, he just could not make up his mind yet. He did not want to lose both guys. He needed to know who he loves more. "Just answer the question."

"I…Yes, I would love to." Sam, was shocked at the idea but was excited to know that Puck feels the same way about him.

"Okay," Puck smirked and walked away before adding, "Tomorrow after school, wait for me at the school parking lot."

"Okay," Sam whispered. His heart was thumping fast. He could not believe that Puck, who he has feelings for is finally asking him out.

So my initial idea was to write a one-shot story. But it turns out, I not very good at it. It just seems a little rushed if I stop at a chapter. Please review and tell me if I should go on or if this ending is fine.
