A/N: I've never been to a juvie center so bare with my interpretation
Rachel Berry holds her head high as she walks into Lima's juvenile detention center. She is led to a table where she sits and waits for a few minutes before a guard leads Puck over. He looks surprised to see her, but takes a seat across from her anyway.
"Hello, Noah," she says to him cheerfully.
"Look Berry if you're here to lecture me you can shove it…" she cuts him off.
"I'm not here to lecture you Noah. I believe you have your reasons for doing whatever it is you did and I know that you're smart enough to know it was wrong. I'm here to make sure you're okay and see if there's anything you need. My fathers are gay and they have connections to the ACLU, I'm sure they would be able to help you in any way," she rambles.
"Are you serious Berry, you're just here to visit no ulterior motives?" He questions suspicious.
"No, none. I thought after our conversation at temple that maybe we were friends," she says looking away from him.
"Berry, we're friends but don't go around telling everyone okay. You'll ruin my rep," he jokes.
"We have a new member, his names Sam.." she begins but Puck cuts her off.
"You replaced me already! Damn Berry I ain't gonna be in here forever!" he tells her a little bit angry.
"Actually, he's more of a replacement for Matt, we're still very much in need of you lovely but slightly in need of some work vocals and bad boy stage presence," she says trying to comfort him.
"I think you just managed to compliment and insult me at the same time. Way to go Berry. I might just rub off on you yet," he laughs.
"I certainly hope not Noah. You're language really is foul and your very crude, it would be extremely inappropriate. Anyways, as I was saying before Sam has joined us, I believe you guys are on the football team together," She continues.
"You seem awfully interested in this Sam kid, Berry. Trouble in paradise?" he questions with a smirk.
"I have no idea what you're insinuating Noah. I merely thought you might be interested in what has been happening since you have been detained temporally."
"Whatever you say Berry. You know for someone who claims to be an top notch actress, you suck at lying," he prods.
"Fine, I'll tell you but this stays between us okay?"
Puck nods and Rachel sighs.
"Sam's been nice to me. No one's ever really been nice to me before. He's a bit of a dork, which is okay because I'm a freak so. He thinks I deserve better. He doesn't seem to like Finn too much. He says he treats me bad and lately I've just been seeing Finn a little differently I guess. Which is crazy because he's Finn and I spent all last year chasing him and I have him and I love him, so I should just ignore what Sam said because it's not true, right?"
"Berry, you're bat shit crazy. Just because you're with Finn and spent a year chasing him like a puppy dog doesn't mean that everything's gonna be sunshine and fuckin' roses. Plus Finn he's kinda a douche sometimes, and he's not the brightest, but if he does anything to hurt you, you let me know and I'll take care of him," he threatens.
"Thanks you Noah. Despite your Neanderthal ways your sentiment is sweet and I will keep that in mind," she tells him.
She smiles and he shakes his head.
"Okay enough with the chick flick moments, Berry so…."
Glee club
Sam's sitting behind Rachel while Mr. Shue goes on about them performing some musical Sam's never heard of. Rachel seems happy about it, so Sam figures it's cool. He's not really paying attention, instead he's drawing on Quinn's notebook, they've kinda become friends now he thinks, but then Mercedes makes some snide comment to Rachel and Sam shakes his head and sits back annoyed. It goes on for awhile longer until Mr. Shue s turns his crazy ideas on Sam.
"Sam. I'd like you to play the role of the creature," Shue tells him.
"From the black lagoon," Sam questions.
"He's like the Frankenstein character but blonde. You'll kill the part, he's cute just like you," Quinn flirts.
Okay, now that was definitely flirting. Crap. He looks at Rachel who's sitting up even straighter, he didn't think it was possible.
"You better start working on those abs," Santana teases.
"Are you kidding me? You could cut glass with these babies. I have no problem showing off my body," Sam informs her.
He smiles at Rachel and she blushes. Phase two: show Rachel Berry just what she's missing.
The next Day
Everyone's sitting in glee club getting ready to watch Finn and Rachel perform Damn it, Janet, when a conversation about seeing Finn without a shirt is sparked. Sam settles into his chair enjoying the turn of events. Suddenly Santana gives him an opening and he takes it.
"I for one can't wait to see Sam in his tiny gold shorts," she states.
"It's gonna be ab-olous," he jokes.
Rachel tries to hide a smile as she tries to get the class to move on. Sam just smiles and relaxes into his seat. This is gonna be cake.
Weight room
Sam is doing crunches with ease as Finn struggles next to him.
"Chicken, egg-whites, fish, no salmon, oatmeal, brown rice but not after 6pm, no butter or oil no soda," Sam tells him.
"That's all you eat?"
Sam steps down and lifts up his shirt.
"Ain't no carpool lane to sexy."
"Damn straight," Artie chimes in from where he's lifting weights.
Sam and Finn walk over to the bench by Artie grabbing some weights on the way. Sam and Artie keep discussing looks and crap and Sam just keeps doing his routine. Just man up, dude. You gotta put in the effort to get the pay-off.
"But doesn't it get exhausting, thinking about what you eat and working out like a mad man?"
"Nah, I mean if I miss a work-out or eat a hot dog, I might hate myself for a few days, but the fact is if you wanna be cool you gotta look the part," Sam answered. Plus there's Rachel."If you get up on that stage and look like a Pillsbury dough boy, there's no way you're staying popular. Come on let's do some squats," Sam calls walking away. What, I feel sorry for the guy.
Dress Rehearsal
Sam's standing on stage in his costume and he's shifting, it's obvious he's uncomfortable. The curtain goes up and Finn starts moaning about something, Sam's not really listening, but when he's done Sam steps forward.
"And um Miss Pilsbury, is there a way I could wear some gold board shorts or something? These are really short and I'm afraid I'm gonna show some nuttage," Sam asks.
"We'll take a note. We can't stop guys. It's a dress rehearsal, come on, keep going. Annnd action," Shue yells
Sam walks back off stage but not before noticing Rachel checking him out .
Later that day
Rachel's standing at her locker when Sam runs up to her.
"Hey, Rach."
"Hello Sam. What can I help you with?"
"So, I was thinking maybe we could rehearse the Touch a Touch a Touch me scene. I just want to make sure that nothings gonna go wrong tomorrow and everything. If you don't have somewhere to be of course."
"No, Finn's in the weight room I believe. I think rehearsing is a good idea. It's very admirable how committed you are to the play," she rambles.
"Thanks, So I'm gonna change into my costume and I'll meet you in the auditorium in ten," Sam tells her backing away with a smile.
Rachel just nods a wide eyed dreamy look on her face. Oh crap, you can do this Rachel. He's just a guy. An extremely attractive, well muscled, sweet, and funny guy. You love Finn Rachel, stop thinking about Sam.
Rachel shakes her head and heads to the auditorium.
Auditorium
Sam's standing in his box waiting for Rachel, when he sees her approach from the left in her costume and he's stunned. God she's so beautiful. Oh, okay Rachel you can do this. It's just acting. Rachel climbs in with Sam.
"You ready to start," He asks her swallowing and sweating a little with her so close.
"Of course, a good actress is always prepared," she responds.
Sam picks up the remote to the cd player and pushes play, tossing the remote as Rachel grabs his hand and starts to sing.
I was feeling done in
Couldn't win
I'd only ever kissed before
(You mean she?)
(Uh huh)
I thought there's no use getting
Into heavy sweating
It only leads to trouble
And bad fretting
Rachel drops his hand and places it seductively on his shoulder.
Now all I want to know
Is how to go
I've tasted blood and I want more
More, more, more!
I'll put up no resistance
I want to stay the distance
I've got an itch to scratch
I need assistance
Rachel places her other hand on his other shoulder and starts sliding up and down his body. Sam holds his breathe in an attempt to control himself.
Touch-a touch-a touch-a touch me
I wanna be dirty
Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me
She starts running her fingers through his hair and pulls him a little closer. She's breathing heavier than normal.
Creature of the night
Rachel lifts her leg up and Sam ducks under it. She turns around to face him.
Then if anything shows
While you pose
I'll oil you up
And rub you down
Down, down, down!
Rachel walks closer to him and starts running her hand up and down his chest while doing the same with her body.
And that's just one small fraction
Of the main attraction
I want a friendly man
Rachel backs him up to the end of the box and then takes his hands and puts them on her chest. Sam's mouth drops open in shock and he quickly tries to recover.
And I need action
Touch-a touch-a touch-a touch me
I wanna be dirty
Rachel pulls him down to the bottom of the box. She lays there while he sits between her legs. She's withering and he's sliding his hands up and down her legs.
Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me
Creature of the night
Touch-a touch-a touch-a touch me
I wanna be dirty
Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me
Creature of the night
Oh, touch-a touch-a touch-a touch me
I wanna be dirty
Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me
Creature of the night
Creature of the night
Creature of the night
Creature of the night
Creature of the night?
Creature of the night
Creature of the night
Creature of the night
Creature of the night!
The song ends and they're both out of breath. They stare at each other for a few seconds and Sam reaches out to push some of her hair out of her face. She grabs his hand and hold it against her face. Sam starts to lean in and just when Rachel can feel his breath on her face she drops his hand and moves back trying to sit up. Sam backs off.
"I… I have to go," Rachel stutters before standing up and hurrying away.
Next day
Sam's in the weight room lifting some weights but he's distracted. Dammit, Evans way to go. Rachel won't even talk to you now and if she told Finn there's definitely gonna be a smack down. At least I don't have to be Rocky anymore. I don't think I'd be able to do that again without doing something I shouldn't. He's ripped out of his thoughts by Finn asking him to spot him.
"So, you and Rachel have your scene together today. She's kinda intense about this stuff so I hope you're ready," Finn tells him.
"I'm not playing Rocky, Shue is. I totally blew it. I shouldn't have made all those demands about my costume. I just felt fat like I had rolls hanging over those gold shorts," Sam lies.
Finn snickers.
"But you're in perfect shape dude," Finn tries to comfort Sam oblivious. "Wait, since I said I'm uncomfortable in the tighty whities does that mean I'm gonna get replaced next?
"No. You don't have to worry about that. The Brad part isn't about looking hot it's about being confident in who you are and how you look no matter how douche you are. That guys totally cool with being uncool," Sam tries to comfort Finn. God I'm such a bad person.
"Yeah, I'm definitely not there. I actually started showering with my shirt on."
"Look stop knocking yourself out here. Just be you and the sexy will flow through."
"Yeah, you're right," Finn says standing up. I don't need to hide behind my muscles like you do."
"Awesome," Sam adds sarcastically. Douche.
As Finn leaves Sam walks over to the mirror and lifts up his shirt pinching his stomach.
"Wow, damn those cool ranch Doritos," he complains.
Next day
Everyone's gathered in the choir room listening to Shue give a speech about why they aren't doing Rocky Horror for an audience and Sam feels a little guilty. He's about to say something but of course Finn gets there first.
"It's cool Mr. Shue. I'm sure the teasing will die down by the time my tenth reunion rolls around," he mutters.
"And I got asked to be June in the men of McKinley High calendar," Sam adds.
Rachel lets out a giggle and Sam smiles at her.
The next day
They just finished their performance of Rocky Horror and Sam runs over to Rachel.
"Hey, look I just wanted to apologize for what happened. I just got caught up in the song," he lies.
"Right, yeah, of course. It was just acting," she bites out before turning to walk away.
Sam grabs her elbow to stop her and she turns to him.
"Hey, are you okay. Did I do something?" he questions her.
"No Sam." She lets out a breath. "You didn't do anything," she answers before pulling her elbow away and leaving a confused Sam behind.
