Chapter 3 is finally here! Yay! I'm sorry it took so long to update, but to make up for it, this is an extra-long chapter with a lot happening! Hope you like it!
By the way, I want to clarify that I don't hate Rachel! She was just extremely annoying at the beginning of Season 2, so I'm representing her as such. She'll get better later!
In this chapter we meet Puck's mother! In the show she's kind of bitchy, but I love stories where she's supportive, loves Puck unconditionally, and all that stuff, so that's the way she'll be here.
Also, I know that in the show Puck's sister is a teenager, but in this story she's going to be around six or seven years old.
There's a Brittany/Elix duet in here, so:
Brittany – Italics
Elix – Bold
Both – Bold & Italics
From: Puck
Hey Princess. Hows the sleepover going?
To: Puck
Kill me now. Rachel's really pissed at me for dancing with Finn, but she hasn't liked me since she met me, so I'm not exactly surprised. She's just searching for reasons to dislike me.
From: Puck
Yeah shes a bitch. Im surprised she invited u if she doesnt like u that much. Whyd u go anyway?
To: Puck
Santana told me to and I'm a little scared to tell her no. When I got here Rachel said she wanted to "apologize for any hostility between us." Who the fuck talks like that? Anyway, Kurt came up later and gave me a hug and told me that he made Rachel apologize so that I wouldn't leave Glee. I like him. He's cool.
From: Puck
Yeah hes pretty awesome. Especially when it comes to putting up with Rachel and her bullshit. So I was wondering if there was anything going on between u & Finn.
To: Puck
Nope. He's nice and everything, but I'm not all that attracted to him. Y?
From: Puck
O ok. I was just curious. It looked like u 2 were really into each other during Gimme More today.
To: Puck
I'm a good actor. Plus, I'm pretty sure Schue told him to be my partner for that because he's not the best dancer. It was a lot easier for him to just chase me around on stage and grab my butt occasionally.
From: Puck
He grabbed ur butt?
"Elix, we're about to play Truth or Dare, which means you have to stop texting your boyfriend now," Mercedes said.
"Ok, one sec," Elix said back, not looking back. "And he's not my boyfriend."
To: Puck
Gotta go. They told me to stop texting. See you tomorrow.
From: Puck
K. I was gonna pick u up at 7 and take u to dinner at Breadstix. That sound ok?
To: Puck
Sounds great! See you then :-)
From: Puck
Cool. Bye beautiful.
"Who are you talking to anyway?" Quinn asked nosily.
Elix shrugged. "Oh, it's nobody. Just someone I'm going on a date with tomorrow."
Santana instantly leaned over and whispered so nobody else could hear. "Is it Puck?" When Elix nodded she jumped up and clapped, clearly thrilled. "I knew it! I'm so glad you're giving him a chance!"
"What? Who is he? Do we know him?" all the girls and Kurt were asking at once, curious who the mystery guy was.
"Calm down, people," Elix said, laughing. "We'll see how the date goes and if it goes well, I might tell you."
"Well, since he's not going to tell us, we can go ahead and start playing Truth or Dare now," Rachel said.
Santana was quick to interrupt. "Elix, you go first. Truth or dare?"
Elix thought carefully before he realized he really wasn't safe either way. "Truth, I guess."
The Latina smirked before saying, "What are your feelings towards Puck?"
"Santana!" Elix exclaimed, feeling his cheeks burning red.
"Puck's the one that you're going on a date with?" Quinn asked, not entirely surprised.
"So much for keeping it a secret," Elix grumbled, his face turning even redder as he glared at Santana. The girl just smiled back smugly.
Mercedes was the next to pipe up. "You still haven't answered the question, white boy. How do you feel about him?" Everyone started gathering closer.
Elix shrugged. "I don't know. When I first met him I was annoyed because he asked if I wanted to hook up in his truck. Then I was disgusted because he said he wanted to become an 'ass-tronaut' so he could explore 'Uranus,'" he rolled his eyes at the memory. "But then when he actually asked me out, he was sweet and nice, and I was flattered. So, basically, I have no idea how I feel about him. It all depends on this date, I guess."
"I can't say I'm surprised," Quinn said. "He has a weakness for Cheerios, new people, and hotties, and you're all of the above. I'd be more shocked if he hadn't made a move on you," Quinn commented, laughing slightly.
"When's the date?" Tina asked.
"Tomorrow night. He's picking me up at 7," Elix replied.
Santana jumped up excitedly. "We're going to help you get ready for it all day tomorrow! We're gonna get manicures and pedicures, Kurt's gonna help you with clothing options, Tina will help you with make-up, and we'll go to Victoria's Secret for the extras! I'm so excited already!"
"What are the 'extras'?" Elix asked skeptically, using air quotes.
"You know…" Santana said, making lewd gestures with her hands.
"They're for when you make gay-babies with Puck after your date," Brittany explained.
"Ok, first of all, no gay-babies are being made tomorrow night. I'm not having sex with him tomorrow night so he's not going to see the 'extras'," Elix clarified.
Santana rolled her eyes. "So? You'd be surprised how much more confidence you get when you wear them, even if people can't see them."
Elix took a deep breath while he thought. "You win. You guys can help me prepare for my date."
The girls and Kurt cheered as they started profusely talking about how they would contribute.
"Hey Mom, could I ask you something?" Puck asked as he cautiously stood in the kitchen doorway, watching his mother, Debra, prepare dinner.
She looked at her son, slight concern etched on her face. "Of course, bubbala. What is it that you need?" she asked as she sat down at the kitchen table, Puck sitting across from her.
"Um, well, ok, I'll just say it," Puck stammered, blushing from embarrassment. "Well, I'm going on a date tomorrow night, and I really want to make a good impression. Basically, I need your help," he finished, wishing the world would swallow him whole.
Debra beamed, smiling ear to ear. "Ay-yay-yay, this is wonderful! Do I know this person? It will help if I have some details about them!"
Puck paused as he thought about all the reasons he was attracted to Elix. "He's in Glee and he's a Cheerio. He's funny and a really amazing singer and dancer. He has this attitude that's kind and gentle, but at the same time he knows what he wants and he'll never stop until he gets it. The words that come to mind when I think of his appearance are pretty, sexy, beautiful, and gorgeous all rolled into one. I felt this attraction when I first met him, almost like a magnet. I wanna get to know him more and see if I can add more things to the list."
Debra looked at her son, feeling tears threatening to form at Puck's beautiful speech. "Noah, I think you're falling for this boy," she said softly, grabbing Puck's hand and squeezing.
Puck looked at his mother like she was crazy. "I'm not falling for him! I just wanna get in his pants!"
Debra narrowed her eyes and dangerously glared at her son. "Don't give me that, Noah Puckerman. The reasons you just listed did not sound like lust. You know, you're father said almost the same things about me when we first started dating."
"Yeah, and we saw how well that ended," Puck muttered bitterly, looking down at the table and regretting it as soon as it came out.
"Noah, look at me," Debra said softy. Puck obeyed. "Believe it or not, your father was very romantic and he loved me a lot. But he's something that you're not: a coward. Noah, I know that you took it hard when he left. So did I and so did your sister. I know that you built up this huge iron wall that nobody gets to see, so that you don't get hurt again. But by blocking everyone out, you're missing out on meeting someone that could change your life for the better. Was I heartbroken when your father left? Of course I was, but I have memories with him that I never want to lose. When you described this boy, your whole face lit up and for the first time in years, you looked genuinely happy. Don't you think it's worth it to take a chance on him and see what happens?"
Puck nodded gently. "Yeah, Mom. I really do. I like him so much. I just wasn't ready to admit it to myself."
"I know, bubbala. It can be a scary think to think about. Now how do you need me to help you for this date?"
Puck started blushing again before he answered. "Well, I really want to make a good impression, so maybe you could help me find something nice to wear." He couldn't help but laugh at himself in his head. 'God, when did I become such a girl?'
Debra started beaming once again. "Of course! Where are you guys going?"
"Breadstix," Puck answered.
"I think I know the perfect thing you can wear! I hope you still have it!" she chirped excitedly as she ran up the stairs towards Puck's room, leaving her son to wonder what the hell just happened.
"Wow, I've never had a pedicure this amazing," Elix said happily as he laid back in the comfortable chair with the rest of the group. "It's been so long since I've pampered myself. I needed this."
"See, Goldilocks? Auntie 'Tana knows what she's talking about. Plus, you'll be more relaxed during the date tonight so if Puck does something to screw it up, he'll have a better chance at forgiveness," Santana said, laying her head back and closing her eyes. "Ok, we're leaving in a few minutes to go to Macy's so Kurt can help you with your clothes, then Tina will take you to Ulta for your make-up. After that, Quinn, Brittany, and I are taking you to Victoria's Secret for Puck's gift," she added, winking.
"Nothing's going to happen, Santana," Elix reminded her as they all got up and left the salon.
"You keep telling yourself that," the Latina shot back as the group headed to Macy's.
"Come on, bubbala! Why can't I meet him?" Debra asked her son in a whining manner.
"Because Jewish moms always scare the dates off," Puck explained to his mother. "I already had to bust my ass to get this date and I don't want anything to scare him away. If this goes really well, then I'll consider introducing him to you."
"He put you through the ringer for a date, huh? I like him already," Debra teased, giving her son a hug before he walked to the door. "Text me when you're on your way home. I'll be waiting up to hear every detail."
"Fair enough, Mom. Love you," Puck said as he left and headed for Elix's house.
'It's a door, Puck. What the hell is wrong with you? It's really simple. You curl your hand into a fist, and then lightly tap your knuckles on it. It's not that hard. Ok, well here goes nothing.' After he finished have a war with his mind, Puck finally got the courage to knock on the door. As it opened, though, he quickly wished he could go back to his truck and hide in a ball.
Standing in front of him, at six-foot-seven-inches tall and two-hundred-fifteen pounds of solid muscle stood Elix's father. "You Puckerman?" the man asked gruffly, not cracking a hint of a smile.
"Y-y-yes sir," Puck stuttered, scared that if he said the wrong thing, the man would kill him.
"Come in," the man said, stepping aside begrudgingly, as if he wanted to just slam the door in Puck's face. "Have a seat in the living room. I'll be there in a minute."
"Yes sir," Puck obeyed, taking a seat in the middle of the small couch in the living room. He looked around while he waited for Elix's dad to come in. The house was nicely decorated; some boxes were lying around signaling that they had yet to completely finish unpacking. Although it was a nice house, there was something about it that made Puck feel uneasy. Since he couldn't put his finger on it, he decided to let it go.
Suddenly Elix's dad came around the corner casually polishing off a huge pump-action shotgun; Puck was glad he was sitting down, because if he'd been standing, he probably would have fainted from fear. "We're going to have a serious talk, boy," the man said curtly as he sat in an armchair to the left of the couch, leaning his shotgun against it.
"Yes sir," Puck said again, not realizing that's the only thing he's said all night.
Hateful eyes locked onto nervous ones as Elix's dad spoke coldly. "I know everything about you, kid. You're the typical popular cocky jock on the football team, with a sensitive side, which is why you're in Glee. You just scored a date with the friendliest and most attractive cheerleader in school. The cheerleader thinks he's getting his Prince Charming, but all you want is to get in his pants. After you've done that, you'll dump him and move onto someone else. I know you because I was you. I treated most of the girls at my school like they were just bodies for my pleasure. I swear to you that if you ever treat my son like that, you and my buddy," he motioned to the shotgun, "will become very well acquainted. Do I make myself clear, Puckerman?"
Puck profusely nodded, hoping his fear didn't show too much. "Absolutely, sir. I hope to have a really serious relationship with your son. I will never push him into anything he's not ready for," he assured the terrifying man in front of him.
Elix's dad's eyes narrowed. "I said the exact same thing to Elix's mother's dad. He fell for it. I won't. I don't trust you, kid."
Before he could say anything else, Puck noticed Elix walking down the stairs and his mouth fell open in awe. The blonde was wearing sexy white pants that looked painted on and showed off his great legs. He was wearing a black silk shirt that accentuated his impossible curves. Puck fought back the urge to drool. His hair was slightly wavy, draped down his shoulders, and he was wearing a white headband that matched his pants. He had on enough black eyeliner to make his blue eyes pop. When Elix reached the bottom of the stairs he did a small turn to give the other boy the full effect of his outfit. Puck's eyes instantly zeroed in on Elix's round bubble-butt and the way the pants hugged it tightly.
"Eyes above the waist, Puckerman," Elix's dad growled quietly so his son couldn't hear.
"Sorry, sir," Puck mumbled apologetically. "You look really amazing, Elix," he said, giving the blonde a genuine smile.
"Thank you, Puck. You look pretty good, too. Purple is your color," Elix smiled, motioning to Puck's purple shirt, nearly hidden by his black blazer. He also admired Puck's nice jeans. It was the first pair he'd seen that didn't have some kind of tear or hole in them.
"So are you ready to go?" Puck asked, standing and heading for Elix, Elix's dad following closely. Elix nodded as Puck linked arms with him and led him towards the door.
"Be back by 11. Not a second later," Elix's dad said shortly, mainly to Puck.
"Ok, Daddy," Elix replied, breaking apart from Puck long enough to give his father a hug, then heading out the door, arm-in-arm with Puck, as he said a quick "Love you! Be back later" to his dad. Puck escorted him to the passenger side of his truck, opening the door for him and helping him in, and then went around to the driver's side. Within a minute they were on their way to Breadstix.
"Ok, so now that he's out of earshot, what did you think about my dad?" Elix asked as if he already knew the answer.
Puck shifted nervously for a moment before he finally answered, "He's nice." At that second he realized that he really needed to work on his lying, because he was getting horrible at it.
"You really expect me to believe that?" Elix asked, laughter evident in his voice. "What did he do?"
"Well, we had a conversation that terrified me to my very soul and I found out he has a good taste in firearms," Puck said, beginning to get nervous at just the image of the intimidating man holding a gun.
He heard Elix gasp in shock. "He brought out his shotgun?" the blonde asked, pure surprise in his tone. When Puck nodded, he scoffed. "I'm going to kill him! I told him to behave himself! I'm so sorry, Puck. He just gets kind of overprotective because I'm his only child. I hate him right now."
"Don't hate him. He's just doing his job," Puck assured him, taking his right hand off his leg and holding Elix's left hand, interlacing their fingers together. "On a completely unrelated note, he doesn't keep that gun loaded, does he?"
Elix snickered and looked over at his date. "Thanks for understanding."
Puck looked over and smiled. "Not a problem, beautiful," he said before re-focusing on the road. "Want me to turn the radio on?" he asked after a few moments of comfortable silence. When Elix nodded, Puck let go of his hand just long enough to turn the radio on, then interlaced their fingers again. The radio host finished up whatever speech he was making and Adam Lambert's "If I Had You" started playing.
"I love this song," Elix and Puck both said at the same time, causing them to look at each other in shock.
"I never pegged you for an Adam Lambert fan," Elix said, smiling and sounding impressed.
"Yeah, I don't really make it public," Puck admitted, thankful that people can't see when he blushes. "He's kind of a guilty pleasure."
"I'm very impressed," Elix said, and Puck could feel his blush grow. They sang along with the radio the rest of the way until they were parked in front of Breadstix.
Puck got out of the truck and rushed to Elix's side, opening the door and helping him out. As they walked to the restaurant, Puck wrapped his arm around Elix's shoulders; he felt a great sense of pride when Elix moved closer to him. After they were seated and started to look at the menu, Puck heard a horribly familiar voice behind him.
"Be right back, Brittany! I just have to go to the bathroom! Well, if it isn't Puck and Elix out on a date!" Puck slowly looked up into the sparklingly mischievous eyes of Santana. He looked over at Elix, noticing how pretty his eyes were when he looked terrified, and raised an eyebrow.
"I swear I didn't tell them where we were going," Elix assured him. As the blonde looked around he noticed more than a few familiar faces. At different tables he saw Kurt and Blaine, Sam and Mercedes, Finn and Rachel, Quinn and Artie, and Mike and Tina; Kurt, Mercedes, Finn, Tina, and Quinn were all facing him and smirking at him knowingly. Now that he thought about it he wondered how he didn't notice them when he came in.
"Oh please, this is the only nice restaurant in Lima. It was common sense that you'd come here," Santana rolled her eyes as she leaned down to whisper in Puck's ear. "They're white with black lace. Quinn, Brittany and I bought them for him today. You're welcome," she whispered as she walked back to her table, completely forgetting about her bathroom lie.
"We can just ignore their existence if you want," Puck offered with a small smirk.
Elix nodded. "Yeah, that sounds nice," he said, snickering softly. "So, what don't I know about you, Noah Puckerman?"
Puck paused as he thought about it. "I'm Jewish."
Elix laughed and rolled his eyes. "Fair enough. I wouldn't have guessed."
"So, can I ask you something?" Puck asked hesitantly.
"Of course," Elix replied with a smile.
"Is your mom not around anymore? I was just wondering since she wasn't there when I picked you up" Puck was careful about asking, hoping not to offend him.
Elix just shook his head. "No, she's not. I'll tell you what happened some other time. It's more of a third date conversation."
"So there's gonna be a third date?" Puck asked hopefully. When Elix nodded, he couldn't help but feel a huge wave of relief wash over him. "My dad left when I was little, so I understand only having one parent."
Elix nodded sympathetically. "I'm sorry to hear that. He's missing out."
"You really think so?" Puck asked.
"I really do," Elix said, reaching across to grab Puck's hand. "You're a very special person, Noah. You're dad lost out on meeting one of the coolest guys in Lima."
Puck smiled, keeping his head down. "You called me Noah."
Elix chuckled softly. "Yeah, I did. Because I can tell the difference between Puck and Noah. And, honestly, I really like Noah."
Puck looked up into honest blue eyes. "Would it be okay if I kissed you right now?" he asked hesitantly.
Elix blushed and said, "Yeah, if you want to."
Puck stood up a bit, enough to lean across the table and softly pressed his lips against Elix's. The kiss was soft and gentle, yet it gave both of them the spark they needed to know that this was it. There was so much passion it that tiny kiss that it made them both a bit dizzy. They only broke apart at the sound of the Glee members cheering from their respective tables. Elix rolled his eyes after Puck sat back down.
"I guess ignoring their existences was a pipe dream," he said, glaring at the annoying group, even though there was humor in his voice.
"Probably," Puck agreed, failing to stifle a laugh.
The rest of the dinner went easily. They effortlessly found things to talk about and genuinely enjoyed their conversations. Being around each other just seemed natural, as if they had been friends for years. When their waitress brought the check, both of them reached for it at the same time, but Puck was successful in pulling it away. "Don't be ridiculous. I asked you out, I pay." As Elix pulled his arm back Puck noticed a strange red circular mark surrounding his wrist. "Elix, what happened to your wrist?" he questioned, slight concern in his voice.
Elix looked at his wrist and hesitated for a moment before answering. "Oh, um, I tried on a bracelet and it was way too tight. That's all, no biggie."
Puck didn't buy it for a second, but he decided not to pry. After the waitress had taken the check and returned Puck's credit card, he stood up, held a hand out for Elix, and the two walked out, fingers intertwined, after saying a quick goodbye to the other Glee members. The drive back to Elix's house consisted mainly of comfortable silence and flirtatious glances. When they finally got back, Puck once again helped Elix out of his truck, and walked him to the door, hand-in-hand.
"Thank you for dinner, Noah. This was a lot of fun," Elix said with a warm smile as they reached the front door.
"It was my pleasure, Princess," Puck smiled, pulling Elix into their second kiss, this one a bit more romantic than the first. Elix wrapped his arms around Puck's neck, while the taller boy kept his hands firmly planted on Elix's lower back, resisting the urge to grab Elix's ass just in case his dad was watching through the blinds or peephole. "What are you doing tomorrow?" Puck asked after they broke the kiss.
"I have no plans yet. Are you going to change that?" Elix asked teasingly.
"Come to my house tomorrow night and I'll make you dinner. I want you to meet my mom and sister." Puck said, hoping he wasn't moving things too fast.
"What time?" Elix replied, smiling.
Puck couldn't stop grinning. "Um, I'll figure it out, and then I'll text you. I'll come pick you up since you don't have a clue where I live."
"Sounds good," Elix said, pulling Puck into another mind-blowing kiss. They both jumped when they heard the door open and found a drunk, angry man standing in the door.
"Get in here," Elix's dad snarled.
"See you tomorrow," Elix whispered, giving Puck a kiss on the cheek and walking into the house. Elix's dad stumbled towards Puck, not realizing that he dropped the beer bottle he'd been holding.
"Stay away from my son," he growled as he stumbled back into the house and slammed the door.
Puck left feeling bittersweet. He was happy that Elix accepted his invitation to meet his family tomorrow, but he didn't feel comfortable leaving Elix there alone. He texted his mother he was headed home as he thought about it.
To: Elix
Good morning beautiful.
From: Elix
Same to you, handsome. What's up? :)
To: Elix
Not much. Just wondering if we r still on 4 2night.
From: Elix
Yes sir! Do you know what time you're picking me up?
To: Elix
Im leaving in about an hour so I'll be there around 6:30.
From: Elix
Awesome! Can't wait! By the way, if you want, you can just text me when you get here so you don't have to deal with my dad.
To: Elix
Cool I'll do that. See you in a little bit Princess. :*
"I have no idea what to make tonight," Puck said to his mother as he slipped his phone back into his pocket.
Debra looked at her son as she sat up on the couch. "What about Kugel? It's not complicated and it only takes about an hour and a half. You can start on it, then I'll take over when you go pick Elix up and it'll be ready when you get back."
Puck nodded and smiled at his mom. "That sounds really cool, Mom. Thank you."
"Don't mention it," she replied. "I'm just glad I get to meet him tonight."
"Meet who?" Puck's sister, Sarah, asked as she walked out of the kitchen.
Puck smiled at his younger sister and said, "I'm having a friend over later and he's going to have dinner with us."
"Oh," she said. "Is he like your other friends?"
Puck laughed softly before replying. "No, he's way better than my other friends. That means you're gonna have to be extra nice to him, okay?" The young girl nodded and Puck ruffled her hair, much to her displeasure, as he walked into the kitchen to start dinner.
To: Elix
Hey babe. I'm here.
From: Elix
Cool. I'll be out in a sec!
True to his word, a few moments later Elix emerged from the house and walked to the passenger side of the truck where Puck was waiting with the door open.
"Such a gentleman," Elix said with a smile as he reached up to give Puck a small kiss on the cheek before getting in the truck. As Puck pulled out of the driveway, he instinctively held Elix's hand in his own.
"So, I'm surprised your dad is letting you come with me," Puck said softly.
"Why is that?" Elix inquired.
"Well, last night he told me to stay away from you."
"Oh, yeah. He says that to guys I date when he's drunk. He never remembers it though," the blonde assured him.
"So what was he like when you told him you were gay?" Puck asked, genuinely curious.
"He wasn't all that great about it. He's accepted it now, but I thought my being a cheerleader since I was in elementary school was a small clue. How was your mom when you told her you were bi?"
Puck started blushing furiously. "Well, I didn't so much tell her I was bi as she walked in on me fucking Kurt."
Elix's eyes widened in shock and amusement. "You fucked Kurt? I thought he was a total prude!"
"Normally he is," Puck nodded. "We dated for a couple weeks and I brought him home and one thing led to another."
"What did your mom say?"
"She just asked him if he was going to stay for dinner," Puck said and both of them cracked up. "So Santana told me that she bought you something that's white with black lace. Are you gonna tell me what it is?" he asked with his signature smirk.
Elix's cheeks turned bright red as he spoke. "I'm going to kill her. Maybe you'll find out someday soon, Puckerman," he teased, sticking out his tongue. "She bought me like ten different ones, all in different colors. It's extremely creepy that she knew which ones I was wearing," he added, still blushing madly.
Before long they were pulling into Puck's driveway. Puck once again assisted Elix out of the truck, then led him to the door hand-in-hand. "You ready for this?" he asked with a smile.
Elix nodded, running a hand over his hair to make sure it still looked perfect. Puck opened the door and led him inside.
"Hey, Mom, we're home!" Puck called out. Almost immediately Debra emerged from the kitchen and looked Elix up and down. After giving Puck a look that indicated she approved, she ran over and gave Elix a bone-crushing hug.
"You must be Elix. It's so nice to finally meet you! I've heard so many wonderful things!" Debra exclaimed, finally letting Elix go.
"It's great meeting you too, Mrs. Puckerman. You have a really lovely home," Elix said with a warm smile.
"Well, thank you, dear. And feel free to call me Debra," she said, softly patting Elix on the arm. She then called toward the stairs, "Sarah! Come down here for a second! Noah's date is here!"
After a few seconds the young girl walked down the stairs and stopped in front of Elix, looking up at him curiously.
"Sarah, this is my friend, Elix," Puck introduced. "Elix, this is my sister, Sarah."
"It's very nice to meet you, Sarah," Elix said warmly, crouching down so he was level with the girl.
"You're really pretty. I like your hair," Sarah said shyly, smiling a bit.
"Thank you, sweetie! You're really pretty too," Elix responded.
"Can you read me a story later?" the girl asked.
"Of course! Just let me know when you're ready, okay?" Elix answered, smiling.
"Okay!" Sarah exclaimed, her earlier shyness clearly gone.
"Why don't you come help Mama set the table sweetie?" Debra asked the girl, ushering her into the kitchen and leaving the two males alone in the entrance hall. Puck immediately pulled Elix to him and captured his lips in a hungry kiss. Puck's tongue swiped across Elix's bottom lip, requesting access. When Elix's lips parted, Puck took the opportunity to explore the shorter teen's mouth with his tongue.
Elix was the one to break the kiss. "Are you crazy?" he whispered. "Your mother and sister are in the next room!"
"That kinda makes it even hotter," Puck teased, winking at Elix.
"Dinner's ready, boys," Debra called from the kitchen.
Dinner went quickly, Debra and Elix easily finding things to talk about. Puck was shocked, and pleased, at how well they got along. Elix made sure to ask Sarah things to keep her in the conversation and Puck couldn't help but feel heart-warmed at how well things were going. After dinner Elix offered to do the dishes and Puck helped him.
"So, how do you like my family?" Puck asked as Elix handed him a dish to dry.
Elix smiled as he responded. "They're amazing! I absolutely love them," he said as he turned the faucet off after washing the last dish.
"We love you too!" Debra called from the living room, making both boys giggle.
Puck tossed the dish towel on the counter and grabbed Elix's hand. "Let's go to my room. We'll get a bit more privacy up there," he said as he led Elix upstairs. When they reached his room, he closed the door behind them and sat on the bed, bringing the blonde with him. He slowly pressed his lips to Elix's and ran his fingers through straight blonde hair. Lying on his back, he brought Elix on top of him and reached down to squeeze Elix's round ass through his skinny jeans while they continued to make out. 'Jesus, they're like pillows of heaven,' he thought to himself.
As Elix laid on top of Puck, he could feel Puck's erection pressing against him through his jeans and he knew it was getting too hot and heavy. "Baby, I think we should cool down," he muttered against Puck's mouth, hoping he didn't upset the other boy.
"Why, baby?" Puck whined. "I'm so hard and you're so fucking hot."
"I'm sorry, sweetie. I'm just not ready to go there yet," Elix apologized.
"Fair enough," Puck relented with a fake pout. "We can still cuddle and kiss, right?"
Elix laughed. "Of course," he said as he placed a sweet kiss on Puck's lips before resting his head on the jock's chest.
"Have you ever been serenaded, Elix?" Puck asked after a couple minutes of silence.
"No, why?" the cheerleader responded, a bit surprised at the random question.
"That's about to change," Puck said as he got up, grabbed his guitar from a corner of the room, and sat back down next to Elix. "I've had 'Paralyzer' by Finger Eleven stuck in my head for days and now I can finally get it out by singing it to one of the greatest people I know."
Elix blushed at Puck's compliment as the jock began singing.
I hold on so nervously
To me and my drink
I wish it was cooling me
But so far, has not been good
It's been shitty
And I feel awkward, as I should
This club has got to be
The most pretentious thing
Since I thought you and me
Well I am imagining
A dark lit place
Or your place or my place
Well I'm not paralyzed
But, I seem to be struck by you
I want to make you move
Because you're standing still
If your body matches
What your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through
Me on my way to you
I hold out for one more drink
Before I think
I'm looking too desperately
But so far has not been fun
I should just stay home
If one thing really means one
This club will hopefully
Be closed in three weeks
That would be cool with me
Well I'm still imagining
A dark lit place
Or your place or my place
Well I'm not paralyzed
But, I seem to be struck by you
I want to make you move
Because you're standing still
If your body matches
What your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through
Me on my way to you
Well I'm not paralyzed
But, I seem to be struck by you
I want to make you move
Because you're standing still
If your body matches
What your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through
Me on my way to you
Not paralyzed
But, I seem to be struck by you
I want to make you move
Because you're standing still
If your body matches
What your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through
Me on my way to you
You'll probably move right through
Me on my way to you
You'll probably move right through
Me on my way to you
Elix enthusiastically clapped as Puck finished his song. "I can't believe I've never heard you sing before. Your voice is so sexy," he said, leaning over and giving Puck a passionate kiss. Puck set the guitar aside and kissed Elix back, holding the Cheerio's hips with both his hands. Before he got too into the kiss, he wanted to make sure of something first.
"What time did your dad want you back?" Puck asked against Elix's lips.
"10:30."
"What time is it now?"
"9:48," Elix responded, looking at his phone.
"Damn. I guess I should probably get you back home," Puck said reluctantly. "I don't wanna piss him off."
Puck led Elix back downstairs where Debra and Sarah were waiting to wish him goodbye.
"Thank you so much for dinner, Debra. It was amazing," Elix said kindly while he hugged the woman.
"It was my pleasure, dear. Just remember, this door is always open for you. Come over whenever you feel like it," Debra replied, smiling broadly.
"Thank you. That really means a lot," Elix smiled, refusing to tear up at the woman's kindness even though he could feel tears forming.
"You never read me a story," Sarah complained from next to her mother.
"I'm sorry, sweetie," Elix apologized, crouching down like he did earlier. "How about next time I read you two stories? Will that make up for it?"
Sarah nodded eagerly and gave a big hug. Puck said goodbye to his mother and sister, then escorted Elix out to his truck, helping the cheerleader in as usual. When they got back to Elix's house, the jock walked with Elix up to the front door. "So," he began, wrapping his arms around Elix's waist. "Since we've now had two dates that have gone extremely well, I have no shame in asking you this: will you let me officially be your boyfriend?"
Elix chuckled softly before nodding. "Of course I will," he said, softly kissing Puck on the mouth. "See you at school tomorrow," he said as he disappeared inside the house.
Puck was in a daze as he drove back home. He was finally dating Elix. It was official. When he walked through the door he saw his mother standing there expectantly.
"We're official," he said, unable to resist smiling.
"Oh bubbala, that's wonderful!" Debra exclaimed, giving Puck a huge hug. "I really think he's perfect one for you."
"I'm glad you like him, Mom. I'm gonna go to bed. Good night." Puck gave his mom a kiss on the cheek as he headed upstairs and got in bed. He was already anticipating seeing his boyfriend the next day.
Puck was beaming with pride as he escorted Elix everywhere he went the next day. They flaunted their new relationship to everybody by holding hands, kissing against lockers, and only leaving each other's sides for class. Puck basked in the jealous death glares he got from the football, baseball, and hockey players. The nerds and geeks that were jealous decided to avoid eye contact with Puck or Elix all together; they knew that if they stared at Elix too long, Puck would throw them in a dumpster and close the lid.
When they walked into Glee that afternoon holding hands, everyone stood and cheered, congratulating the new couple. When Mr. Schue walked in, he went to the white board and wrote "Dedications."
"We dedicate things to people close to us every day," Schue began. "Whether it's a greeting, a hug, a joke, or a song, we give things to a person intended for that person only. Sectionals are coming up and I want to take songs that are personal for us and our judges. This week I want you to perform a song that you want to dedicate to someone. It can be about friendships or romance or anything you want. You can perform as a solo or a duet and you can dedicate it to as many people as you want. Just make sure it's personal. Is there anybody that wants to go first?"
True to character, Rachel raised her hand immediately and stood to perform Foreigner's "I Want to Know What Love Is" for Finn. It seemed everybody was in a surprisingly good mood, since everyone applauded and cheered her on enthusiastically when she was done. When Schue asked if anyone else wanted to perform, Puck hesitantly stood and moved to the middle of the room.
"This is called 'Wonderful Tonight' by Eric Clapton, and I want to dedicate it to my beautiful boyfriend," he said as he looked Elix directly in the eye, smirking slightly. As the piano played, he started singing, careful to change the pronouns so it matched.
It's late in the evening; he's wondering what clothes to wear
He puts on his make-up and brushes his long blonde hair
And then he asks me, "Do I look all right?"
And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight."
Everyone started swaying with music, Elix trying not to blush. He failed since he was so flattered.
We go to a party and everyone turns to see
This beautiful baby that's walking around with me
And then he asks me, "Do you feel all right?"
And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."
I feel wonderful because I see
The love light in your eyes.
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize how much I love you.
Puck walked up to Elix and grabbed onto his hand, looking the Cheerio dead in the eye as he sang the last verse.
It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head
So I give him the car keys and he helps me to bed
And then I tell him, as I turn out the light
I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight.
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight."
The room erupted into cheers and applause, which quickly turned to wolf-whistles and sexual comments (thanks to Santana) when Elix pulled Puck into a deep, passionate kiss.
The next day went pretty much the same. When Schue asked who was performing that day, Brittany and Elix quickly stood up and grabbed a couple stools before sitting on them, facing Santana and Quinn.
"We wanna dedicate this song to our fellow Cheerios," Brittany introduced. "You two are our best friends and we love you. That's why we make a great foursome, but not in the dirty way. Even though you're not a dolphin, you're still awesome, Quinn," she added.
"This is called 'Chillin' With You' by Britney and Jamie Lynn Spears," Elix explained.
The guitar started and Brittany began singing, her voice filled with emotion.
I laughed so much that I cried
I danced so much till I was tired
I drank some red wine
Now I'm walking on the sky
I had the time of my life
And you know
I, I'm feelin' alright
'Cause I don't got to worry about a thing
And you know
I, I'm feelin' alright
'Cause I don't got to worry about a thing
When I'm with you
I'm chillin, I'm chillin
When I'm with you
I'm chillin, I'm chillin
When I'm with you
I'm chillin, I'm chillin
I'm chill
Elix took Jamie Lynn's verse, everybody clapping with the slow beat.
I sang so loud that I smiled
I made it worth my while
I drank some white wine
Now I'm walking on the sky
I had the time of my life
And you know
I, I'm feelin' alright
'Cause I don't got to worry about a thing
And you know
I, I'm feelin' alright
'Cause I don't got to worry about a thingWhen I'm with you
I'm chillin, I'm chillin
When I'm with you
I'm chillin, I'm chillin
When I'm with you
I'm chillin, I'm chillin
I'm chill
Every day every day every day
Chillin' with you
And you know
I, I'm feelin' alright
'Cause I don't got to worry about a thing
And you know
I, I'm feelin' alright
'Cause I don't got to worry about a thing
When I'm with you
I'm chillin, I'm chillin
When I'm with you
I'm chillin, I'm chillin
When I'm with you
I'm chillin, I'm chillin
I'm chill
Everyone cheered at the end, Quinn and Santana getting up to hug their fellow Cheerios. Brittany went to sit back down while Elix stayed standing. "I'd also like to sing a song to my amazing boyfriend," he smiled while looking at Puck. "This is 'Legendary Lovers' by Katy Perry."
The music started and Elix started singing, keeping eye contact with Puck the whole time.
Under a silver moon
Tropical temperature
I feel my lotus bloom
Come closer
I want your energy
I want your aura
You are my destiny
My mantra
I never knew I could see something so clearly looking through my third eye
Never knew karma could be so rewarding and bring me to your light
Maybe this is the beginning of something so magical tonight (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Take me down to the river
Underneath the blood-orange sun
Say my name like a scripture
Keep my heart beating like a drum
Legendary lovers, we could be legendary
La la la la la
Legendary lovers, we should be legendary
La la la la la
Go down in history
Go down together
Into infinity
Forever
Your Cleopatra
Your blushing Juliet
Anything for your love
A ride or die
I never knew I could see something so clearly looking through my third eye
Never knew karma could be so rewarding and bring me to your light
Maybe this is the beginning of something so magical tonight (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Take me down to the river
Underneath the blood-orange sun
Say my name like a scripture
Keep my heart beating like a drum
Legendary lovers, we could be legendary
La la la la la
Legendary lovers, we should be legendary
La la la la la
(Legendary lovers)
(Legendary lovers)
(Legendary lovers)
Oh, take me down to the river
Underneath the blood-orange sun
Say my name like a scripture
Keep my heart beating like a drum
Legendary lovers, we could be legendary (legendary)
La la la la la
Legendary lovers, we should be legendary (oh, take me down)
La la la la la
Take me down to the river
Underneath the blood-orange sun (underneath the sun)
Say my name like a scripture
Keep my heart beating like a drum (oh baby)
Legendary lovers, we could be legendary
La la la la la
Legendary lovers, we should be legendary
La la la la la
As the song ended, Puck jumped up and crushed his lips to Elix's, ignoring Santana saying "Wanky."
"So, do you wanna hang out tonight?" Puck asked as he walked Elix to the gym for Cheerio practice.
"Sure. What do you wanna do?" Elix said, wrapping his arms around Puck's neck.
"I was thinking I'd pick you up near dark, then we could go have a picnic at the lake," Puck suggested proudly, happy that he came up with something romantic on his own.
"That sounds great. I can't wait," the blonde gushed, giving his boyfriend a goodbye kiss before disappearing into the gym.
Puck was in such a good mood that when he turned around and saw Jacob Ben Israel standing there staring at them, he didn't even want to throw the annoying boy in a dumpster. He just walked by him and happily headed to football practice.
