Don't you want to Stay
First one shot. Song is Jason Aldean's Don't you wanna Stay thank you to thisisnutz for the suggestion.
Rachel Berry was furious. Noah was goofing off again during rehearsal. They were weeks away from their senior chance at Nationals and it seemed that all he wanted to do after their second break up was ruin any chance they had to get everything down perfectly.
"Must you be so childish?" Rachel shouts at him.
"You're the one who said I could only ever be childish. It's one of the reasons you broke up with me remember." Puck sneered back at her.
"Because everything was a crude joke to you when you weren't being a jerk." Rachel shouted back.
"Maybe I was a jerk because you were a crazy bitch most of the time." He shouts back. Everyone is looking on at the two now as they got into another fight. Sad thing was that the rest of the Glee club knew Rachel and Puck loved each other and were actually a good couple. He was always sweet with her and she was way more calm when he was around but it seemed that they both had needed to grow up and apparently still hadn't.
"Okay that's enough." Mr Schue announced. "I have had it with you two fighting all the time. You two are going to go and find and song that is a duet and be ready to perform it at Nationals. That's right you two will be singing the duet for Nationals so I suggest that by next Friday you have a song and routine down or it will be on the two of you if we don't win this year." He finished. Everyone was shocked at this. Mr Schue never went off like that. Well except the one time Rachel showed up with duck tape on her mouth but who wouldn't have blown up at her for that. Rachel just huffed and stormed out like she normally does while Puck pinched the bridge of his nose and took a deep breath.
"Good luck with her man." Sam offered patting him on the back the other guys following suit.
"Listen Puckerman I want to leave this shit hole a winner so you better not fuck this up." Santana said pointing a finger in his face.
"The Fuck Satan, have you ever tried working with Berry when she's like this?" He asked trying to defend himself.
"Look I don't know what you did to screw things over with her so badly but she was easier to deal with when you two were together and it is obvious you two are head over heels for each other so just fix things, we win at nationals, you get your girl back and all is good." Santana told him before taking Brittany's arm and leaving the glee room.
Rachel got home that day and tossed her bag across her room and let out a frustrated sigh before falling onto her bed. Great she knew her chances of winning Nationals just flew out the window with what Mr Schue had announced today. She knew there would be no way that Noah would work with her. Need you now had been hard enough their junior year. She sat up in her bed and looked at her desk and the paper that sat there. She walked over and picked it up sighing when she heard a knock at the front door. Setting the paper back down she walked to the door and opened it to see Noah standing in her door way looking at the ground with his hands shoved in his pockets.
"What do you want?" Rachel asked crossing her arms over her chest.
"Look I'm sorry for earlier okay." He said pulling a hand out of his pocket and rubbing the back of his neck. "I didn't mean to yell at you and I would like to work on this duet with you." He said still not looking her in the eye.
"Santana threaten you?" Rachel asked. He chuckled and nodded his head. Rachel stepped aside and let him in.
"You know where my room is go on up while I grab us some waters." Rachel said walking into the kitchen. Puck nodded and walked up to her room. It hadn't changed since the first time her had been in there but it was so Rachel with its cheery yellow walls and Broadway playbills and posters everywhere. He sat down in the chair at her desk and noticed a letter sitting open with Julliard stamped in the corner. He picked it up and began to scan over the writing when Rachel snatched it from him.
"Ever heard of Privacy Noah?" Rachel asked tearing the letter up and throwing it away.
"Why haven't you said anything about that?" Puck asked pointing at the torn letter.
"Because it is no ones business." Rachel said shoving a bottle of water at his chest. Puck took it and set it on the desk.
"Do you like wanna talk about it or whatever?" He asked.
"No I do not want to talk about it or whatever." Rachel said defeated.
"Well if you want to you know my number." Puck said sitting down on the bed next to her.
"Thank you Noah." Rachel said quietly.
"Why did you break up with me Rachel? I mean I know we both had some growing to do or some shit like that but I thought we were good together." He asked her seriously.
"Our lives were going in two separate directions and I didn't want to get attached to someone again to just get my heart broken for a fourth time." Rachel said quietly.
"People move in different directions it doesn't mean that they have to be apart while they do it though."
"Since when did you get so deep?" Rachel teased.
"Well you see there was this girl, hot little Jewish thing, that opened my eyes up to things I didn't know about myself. One of them being that I am deep and insightful." Puck said looking down at Rachel.
"I miss this, us." Rachel said.
"Me too, we were pretty epic together." Puck said kissing the top of her head.
"We were but I don't think I can do us again. I'm sorry." Rachel said standing up. Puck nodded his head and walked out of Rachel's house with a broken heart but determined to get his girl back.
Rachel avoided Noah as much as possible and whenever Mr Schue would ask about their song she would dodge the question. It had been successful until she found herself sitting in the glee room on the day they were supposed to perform their song.
"Okay Rachel Puck let's see what you have put together." Mr Schue said before getting the rest of rehearsals together. Puck got up and took his guitar with him.
"Well actually I worked on something and Rachel knows it so if she wants to join in she can. This song is close to my heart and I hope that the message gets across." He said looking at Rachel. He strummed his fingers across the chords of his guitar and Rachel was almost in tear just with the first few notes. She did know this song. It was the song she had listened to over and over again when they broke up and he knew that.
(Puck/ Rachel/ Both)
Puck looked at Rachel as he began to sing thinking over their relationship.
I really hate to let this moment go
touching your skin and your hair falling slow
when a goodbye kiss, feels like this
Rachel stood up and joined Puck their voices melding together perfectly.
don't you wanna stay here a little while
don't you wanna hold each other tight
don't you wanna fall asleep with me tonight
don't you wanna stay here a little while
we can make forever feel this way
don't you wanna stay
lets take it slow I don't want to move to fast
I don't wanna just make love, I wanna make love last
when you're up this high, it's a sad goodbye
Rachel sang to Noah and he smiled at her. He knew that she was the kind of girl that when she found that one guy she would love him forever and the look in her eyes told him that he was that guy.
don't you wanna stay here a little while
don't you wanna hold each other tight
don't you wanna fall asleep with me tonight
don't you wanna stay here a little while
we can make forever feel this way
don't you wanna stay
Oh yeah!
Oh it feels so perfect baby...
Oh it feels so perfect baby...
Don't you wanna stay here a little while...
don't you wanna stay here a little while
don't you wanna hold each other tight
don't you wanna fall asleep with me tonight
don't you wanna stay here a little while
we can make forever feel this way
don't you wanna stay
Don't you wanna stay..
Yeah yeah yeahhh
yeah yeah yeahhh
They finished the song staring into each others eyes and Puck put his guitar down and swept Rachel into his arms placing a kiss on her lips.
"I got into NYU but I don't have to go there. I'll follow you where ever if it means you stay with me." Puck told her.
"It's okay Noah I got into NYU too. Screw Julliard." Rachel said and Puck kissed her again. Everyone in the room was clapping and they broke apart Rachel blushing furiously while Puck smiled at her. He had his girl back, all was right in the world.
"So you see country music isn't all bad not only did it get your mother back for me but it won us Nationals that year too." Puck told his young son as they sat in the family room.
"Are you telling that story again?" Rachel asked walking into the room to let them know that dinner was ready.
"Boy needs to learn not to hate on country music." Puck said. Rachel just shook her head and told them to go wash up. Puck walked over and kissed his wife. "I love you."
"I love you too." Rachel said with a smile. "Now go clean up before dinner gets cold." Rachel said shooing him. Puck grinned and slapped her on the ass before following his son to wash up. Yep life was pretty perfect for the Puckerman-Berry Family.
