Fair Game Chapter 1: Move To Lima, a glee fanfic

At the request of my best friend, I am starting a Finn story for her. Personally, Finn doesn't do much for me but I'm willing to go there for my friend. Again, I will do my best to keep things accurate but I cannot make any promises. We're starting out in Carly's point of view. Hope you all enjoy.
PS: I own nothing but my OCs and my idea.
PPS: My other OCs will be making appearances (Kay and Shiloh) so don't be alarmed if names show up that you don't know.

If I Could Love You

My father has been meaning to move to Lima, just so that I could be closer to my best friend Noah Puckerman. Noah and I had met at a Glee club competition and we kind of clicked. Despite all the warning signs, we dated for a few weeks before we came to the conclusion that there was absolutely nothing romantic between us and long distance wasn't working either. Thankfully, my mother was able to get her firm to open a location in Lima which ultimately eased the move even more. We finally pulled up to our new house and the moving van pulled up behind us as we got out of the car. I immediately sent Noah a text message, letting him know that we were finally here and that I would appreciate his help with the boxes. I would have asked my brother but he was away at college at the moment and there was no way he could make it in a reasonable amount of time. My phone buzzed again and I checked it with a smile.

I'll be over in a bit. My friend, Finn, said he wants to help. That okay? -Puckasaurus

I furiously typed my reply, as any text savvy teenager would.

The more muscle the better. You remember the address? -CareBear

Noah's nickname for me was ridiculous and cute at the same time, kind of like him. I managed to get a couple boxes into the house before my phone buzzed again. I smiled at the text message.

On our way now, CareBear. See you in a bit. -Puckasaurus

I tucked my phone away safely in my pocket and made another trip to the moving van. Ten minutes passed before I heard a car honk and watched as Noah parked his truck behind the van. "Be right back, Dad." My dad smiled as he watched me put the box in my hands down and run towards Noah. I practically jumped into his arms and he spun me around in circle. He put me down on the grass and gave me a big hug. "You have no idea how much I've missed you, Noah."

"Not half as much as I've missed you, Care-I mean, Carly." He cleared his throat as his nickname for me threatened to escape his lips. "Carly, this is my best friend, Finn Hudson. Finn, this is Carly Dayton...my other best friend." We shook hands and I could've sworn that I felt an electric current go through my body.

"Nice to meet you, Finn. I would say that Noah never stops talking about you but then I'd be lying." Finn half-smiled at me and I felt my cheeks get warm. "Alright. We should probably get started before my dad has a fit. Come on." I turned around and started to walk towards the house, ignoring the hushed conversation Noah was having with Finn. "Grab a box, guys." I watched Noah shove Finn towards the van with a smirk on his face. I rolled my eyes and continued to put the boxes in the designated rooms inside the house. An hour passed and we had gotten all the boxes out of the van and into the designated rooms inside the house. "Thank you so much, guys. It would have taken at least twice as long without your help." Noah stepped forward and I gave him a warm hug. "Would you like a hug, Finn? I doubt that you would take any other kind of pavement." Noah mumbled something under his breath which earned him an elbow in the ribs at the hands of the Finn.

"Yeah...that would work." The sound of his voice sent chills down my spine. He stepped forward and I felt much more nervous than I was portraying. Noah noticed my nervousness and practically shoved Finn into my arms, successfully pinning me underneath him against the counter. Finn's hands flew to my waist and head, trying desperately to prevent me from hitting my head or body on the counter or cabinets. My father called Noah to him, leaving me and Finn alone in my kitchen and in a very interesting position. Finn pulled away and propped himself up against the island. "Are you okay, Carly?"

"Yes, thank you."

"No problem. You know, Puck hasn't told me much about you either." I gave him a look, silently asking who Puck was. "We call Noah, Puck. No one really calls him Noah."

"Oh. Well, what do you want to know?"

"Everything."

"Excuse me?"

"Um, I meant, uh..." I tried desperately to hold back a smile at Finn's embarrassment but it didn't work.

"I'll tell you everything, Finn. Just not all at once, okay?" He nodded furiously and I couldn't keep a straight face. "But if I tell you everything about me, does that mean I get to know everything about you?"

"Sure." I watched his very bright brown eyes sparkle and I had to turn around so that he wouldn't see me biting my lip. The air was soon filled with 'Just The Way You Are' by Bruno Mars so I turned around to see Finn digging his phone out of his pocket. He groaned and hung his head.

"Not someone you want to talk to?"

"Not really, no." I watched him hit ignore on his phone and put it down on the island. "So, are you going to join Glee club at school?"

"Definitely. Glee club is my favorite thing at school, followed closely by swimming and then softball."

"You play sports?"

"Yup. I'd like to say that I'm pretty good at them, too. Do you play football with Noah?"

"Yeah. I'm the quarterback, actually." Oh good god, this could not get any better.

"Very nice." I was about to say something when my dad walked in through the glass door. "Hi, daddy."

"Hi there, Carly. You must be Finn Hudson. Noah has been telling me a lot about you." He shook Finn's hand and Finn looked a bit nervous. "Since you guys helped us move in here, what do you say to us buying you dinner?"

"I'm game. How about you, Finn?" Finn looked deep in thought but then a smile appeared on his face.

"I'm in." He gave me a look and I couldn't keep myself from smiling. Moving to Lima? Best idea, ever.
