When The Dark Becomes Bright
A/N: This is my second english fic, so I'm still learning and I hope you can bear with some grammatical errors since english is not my primary language. This fabrevans fic based on a local novel I read yesterday, and it was really good. So, I decided to make a fabrevans version of the story with my twist and different spots. Anyway, I'm looking for a beta reader.
Disclaimer: I don't own Glee nor Sunshine Becomes You (from Indonesia).
Last, read, enjoy and review! :)
It was one of summer day in New York City. Just like it's usual day, New York was full of crowd, and Noah Puckerman was one of the people walking down the street. He crossed the street and made his way to apartment building in Riverside Drive. Noah Puckerman was in good mood. So, he wanted to share it to his bestfriend-brother Sam Evans.
Sam Evans have been his bestfriend ever since they were in kindergarten. They were close and never hiding anything. But, Sam is different from Noah. Sam was more quiet, responsible and calm while Noah is living his life and love. Sam thought he was too busy to think that kind of things like Noah did. But on the other hand, they were like brothers. Evans family welcoming Noah Puckerman just like their own son. So, that's why Sam Evans was Noah's bestfriend-brother.
Noah knew, rightaway Sam must be very busy in his apartment locking himself out, concentrating on his upcoming tour in United States. For God's sake Sam just came home after two months Europe Tour completed his country-list of his piano concert. And now, he was busy preparing his upcoming concert? He had to make him live a little.
Noah already arrived at Sam's apartement building, he ran a little at the stairs. He wanted to push the intercom, but just in time a middle aged woman opened the door and walked out the door. Noah held the door with his hand and made himself in before the door automatically locked. It doesn't need much time until Noah reached Sam's apartement in third floor. He knocked the door ten times, Noah have to admit it was annoying. And it finally opened by the one and only Sam Evans.
"Yo! Brother!" Said Noah smiled widely and made himself entering the apartment.
"It was you," Sam responded flatly. For a second, Sam thought it was an annoying old lady who lived across his apartment.
"As you can see. Glad you still alive." Noah Puckerman took a cola from refrigerator and sat at Sam's comfortable sofa. He looked around and pretty surprised that Sam still took care of his apartment well. The window was widely open so the sunshine made his apartment warm, bright and comfortable. Next to the sofa there was a white piano. A lot of music sheets with Sam's chicken handwriting of notes.
"I thought you were still at San Fransisco? How was your band?" Sam's voice sounded loud throughout the apartment.
Sam and Noah, both are musician. But Sam was a solo pianist who is popular in entire classic music lovers meanwhile Noah is guitarist of a famous band. Sam knew that Noah held their first concert at San Fransisco a week ago but didn't knew that he's already in New York.
"My band is strong as ever. San Fransisco was a blast. Ah! I came back to NY yesterday." Said Noah from the kitchen. He was looking from some meals since he wasn't eat breakfast but nothing he could find from Sam's kitchen,"I was looking from some food. Don't you have some?"
"I don't know, I haven't eat breakfast either."
Noah rolled his eyes, couldn't believe what just Sam said to him. He knew that Sam was a maniac at working, but forgot to eat wasn't not a part of this work. His parents would be angry if they knew that their kid is skipped his routine meal,"So you are too busy, and didn't have time to eat? Even a simple porridge?"
"Mmm.." Sam didn't look to Noah's face still concentrating on his music sheets.
"Mom will going mad, if she knew this Samuel." Said Noah still drinking his cola. Since he growing up close to Evans Family, he called Sam's parents as mom and dad. Moreover, Noah was orphan in very young age, so Evans Family practically like adopted Noah as one family.
"No Puck. I was just trying to finish this song, but it just wasn't right," Sam's finger trying to find good keys in his piano. Noah Puckerman known as Puck, as matter of fact looked up the sheets and raised his eyebrows.
"What?" Asked Sam.
"It's good. What's wrong? It sounded good, Sam!"
Sam didn't answered Puck's question because he didn't know how to respond that either. Noah Puckerman took his jacket from Sam's closet when Sam was still busy. And then shouted in all of sudden to break the silence,"I know the solution!"
"What?"
"You have to go out! Live a little! Come on. Okay, let's see when was you out from this goddamn apartment?"
"Errr, yesterday?"
"Really?"
Sam rolled his eyes. Noah Puckerman knew him too well. Sometimes, he was scared with his own bestfriend-brother. Noah knew Sam was lying,"Chop! Chop! Samuel, I treat you a lunch. Eat as much as you want!"
"No! My abs! A pianist must have a good body too, Noah Puckerman."
"I bet, you weren't have dinner and breakfast. So, you have to eat much. I'm pretty sure ladies still want to get laid with you."
Typical Puckerman. Sam sighed,"Two months didn't meet you. I completely forgot how annoying you are, Puck."
-S&Q-
Sam would never admit to Puck that his mind was clearer after going out from his apartment. His mind was fresh, his hand was no longer hard and spinning. Maybe Puck was true, live a little. You only lived once, right?
Sam was not a maniac in working actually. He has pretty good life. Gym, eat healthly, watch sports, and usual stuffs like 26 years old man did. But Sam also have a responsibility as a pianist. He was successful pianist and now on top. After held a tour in Europe, now Sam Evans back in United States to held a tour around too. When he was going home, he got an inspiration to write a new song. But, in all of sudden the "idea" just disappeared. He stuck in a middle and he hates it. He hated to start a something but couldn't finish it. He have to finish it. But maybe, later...
"So, where are we going?" Asked Sam when Puck was driving the car.
Puck answered simply,"Somewhere. Believe me, you will like it. It's near my art school."
"Art school?"
"Yep. My band and I are teaching."
Sam laughed as loud as he can. Knowing Puck as a teacher, it's like hearing a doomsday. Puck is not a person with full of patience in his life. Puck rolled his eyes as he still saw Sam laughing,"It's not a joke Sam. It's a side job. All boys in my band are teaching, in some period. No big deal with our schedule."
"No one thinking this thing a joke. It's just you? Teaching? It's quite impossible."
"It's not impossible when the girl you love asked you."
Sam glanced to Puck. He knew that Puck was never saying love to a girl, but flirting a lot,"A girl, huh?"
"Yes, Quinn..."
"Quinn?"
"Quinn Fabray."
Sam frowned trying to remember a girl named Quinn Fabray. But he did not find her. So, this is a very new girl. But Puck never told him. How can that two people meet anyway...
Puck saw confused Sam and laughed a little. Puck can read Sam's mind so he responded,"She's working with Mike and Tina. She's dancer just like them. Very very talented."
Ah, Sam remembered Mike and Tina. His high-school friends along with Puck,"It still not connected Puck. Anyway, when was Mike and Tina moved to New York?"
"You were too busy with your tour in Europe. They moved a month after you went to Europe. I catched up with Mike and Tina, then Tina was bringing Quinn along. So I met her a month ago."
"You are flirting with her, after that didn't you?"
Puck nodded still driving the car,"At first yes. But she was different than other girl. I don't know how to explain it but she's very different. We go out some time and then she asked me whether I can teach guitar temporary as a substitute. The teacher is pregnant so I take the teacher's place for a while."
"And then the rest of the band?" Asked Sam curiously.
"Well, actually they didn't get a place like I did. But since I taught the kids are excited. To learn more. Tina said this rarely happened, so I asked Quinn to bringing the rest of the band. She's okay with it. So here we are. But we got a different period, though."
"But you said she's a dancer?" Said Sam raising his eyebrows.
"Yep. She is teaching dance. Contemporary. I saw her dance, once. She was flawless. I doubt she's marrying the dance floor already. It's like they are a soulmate."
"And then, why is she looking for a guitar substitute teacher when she is in different subject."
Puck said with proud,"That's the good thing about Quinn. She cares about everyone and everything."
Ten minutes later they arrived at a small Italian cafe near The Whole New Art School, the place where Noah Puckerman working as a substitute teacher. Sam looked the school, it's not that bad. A lot teenagers and kids were in and out, bringing clothes, instruments or stuffs for their school. Sam laughed a little imagining Puck as a teacher. And then, Puck made his way bringing some lasagna for him and for Sam.
"I know you like Italian Food." Said Puck and Sam nodded as a respond.
"How about you? You like it? Teaching?" Asked Sam a minute later.
"I'm doing it for Quinn and Kids. So I guess, I like it."
"You love her, don't you?"
Puck sighed before answering with his low voice,"Yes. But... I don't know."
The blond-boy in front of him responded,"What? I thought...you really love her? Don't get me wrong but, from your story, I can sense different things they way you told me about Quinn."
"I do, when I told you about Quinn, the part she's different, it's true. Sometimes, I thought she likes me too. They way she staring at me, laugh at me, smile at me. But sometimes, I saw her doing the same thing to other people. So I don't know."
"Puck, you are so in love."
"But the thing is, Quinn's so complicated. She's full of mystery."
"I'm curious. Let's go!" Said Sam stood up from his chair. Puck looked at him confusedly and said,"What are we going?"
"Catch up with Asians and maybe, meeting your girl." Said Sam as he made his way out. Puck grinned and followed him immediately to his art school. Get ready, Sam Evans to know more about Quinn Fabray. But Noah Puckerman afraid, he will fall... Every single person got to know Quinn Fabray always made Puck afraid. No, no, Sam Evans was too busy to thinking about love right?
