"Rachel?" Finn said as he opened the door to our new apartment. The apartment was small but had three bedrooms, which we needed, a full bathroom and a half bathroom, a spaceous living room, a dining room, and a nice sized kitchen with new stainless steel appliances, it was a complete steal for the three of us, Finn, Puck and I, and we were happy to have it. "Did you pick your room yet?"
"Nah man, Rachel is downstairs getting more of her boxes, I want the room with the half bathroom though so your room and Rachel's room will have to be right next to each other," Puck said putting the 'kitchen' labeled boxes on the island.
"Don't you think we should give that room to Rach?" Finn suggested while moving boxes to their respective rooms, "she is the only girl, she should get her own bathroom."
"Listen," Puck said, stretching his arms out above his head, "I get it, you are in love with her so-"
"I am not." Finn said quickly, dropping a coffee mug on the island.
"Whatever, well I actually did think about that but I figured that since I have a lot of girls over that it would be better if my room wasn't next to anyone else. That way me and my guests don't keep anyone up. Plus," he added as Rachel tripped through the door with a box that Puck immediately took out of her hands, "i make a mess and I figured it would be easier if you and Rachel shared a bathroom that you both would keep clean, and I could be free to make a mess in mine."
"It's fine, Finn, Noah can have the in-suite bathroom." Rachel said as she swept hair out of her face. "He makes a very valid point. I am not cleaning up his bathroom mess."
Finn half-smiled as Rachel put her hands on her hips and looked around. "I think this is going to be fantastic," she concluded. She walked over to Finn and took the coffee mug he was holding, "Isn't this going to be fantastic?"
"Whe-yeah, for sure," Finn said as he smiled down at Rachel.
Puck laughed at Finn as he walked to put his bathroom products in his bathroom. He was able to see that Finn and Rachel absolutely loved each other, but what he didn't really understand was that they had never gotten enough sense to actually get together, except for that one time senior year when they got drunk and they did the nasty, Rachel lost her virginity to him, and though she wanted to lose it to him, she still cried that they weren't in a relationship and that she was intoxicated at the time.
Puck had dated Rachel for eleven months when they were in high school, Puck definitely had loved her during that time, and she had loved him too, but there was always Finn in the wings for Rachel, and in the end she broke it off with Puck because she couldn't commit herself to him. Somehow, Puck and Rachel were extremely close, they often talked about Finn and about how Rachel had only ever had sex with Finn and Puck, and 'seriously, she needed to get laid.'
It had been Puck's idea to all move in together. He really wanted Rachel and Finn to get together and he wanted them to move in together in the apartment to realize they loved each other. See, Puck was definitely a womanizer, but he had harbored true love for Rachel and wanted to see her happy, especially with Finn, a guy who he felt was like a brother to him.
