AN: So it took me FOREVER to get this next drabble up and it isn't even the one you all asked for but it was the one that hit me, so I went with it. I haven't had the internet the past few days so I wrote this one and the next one and half of another. I have to use the WiFi at school this week so I probably won't have the next UD until Wednesday but it will be up. Tell me what you think of this one. And again sorry it took so long.
Disclaimer: Do NOT own Glee...I wish I did. But even more so I wish I could own Mark Salling. LoL. ;)
SILENT NIGHT by MARTINA MCBRIDE
She held her annual holiday party this year and for the first time ever she was going to have more than just her family and fathers coworkers there.
Yes Rachel Berry finally had friends to invite to party.
The first to arrive were Kurt and Mercedes, followed by Quinn and Finn, next Tina and Artie and then Matt, Mike, Brittany and Santana.
Everyone was having a good time talking and eating, and none were really shocked that Puck hadn't shown up because even though everyone got along for the most part in Glee, the whole interacting thing was lost on Puck.
So when Rachel was suddenly standing next to him in the archway they were surprised. For two reasons, one because he actually showed up and two because neither two realized where they were standing, under the mistletoe.
Everyone stood there just holding their breaths, to see which of the two would be first to make a move.
Rachel looked like a lost puppy and Puck was a total deer caught in the headlights.
"Oh for god's sake's kiss her already." Snapped Kurt.
Puck snapped out of his daze, gave Kurt a glare and then was completely in Puck mode again because the look in his eyes was pure lust. He moved towards Rachel and she took in a sharp breath, he placed a chaste kiss on her lips and turned to leave the room.
Rachel just stood there and brought her fingers to her lips, her first kiss and it was from Noah Puckerman and he it felt phenomenal, like a jolt of electricity was running through her.
Santana was throwing the New Year's Eve Party, her parents went away at this time every year, so it was the obvious choice because one it was a nice and big house and two no parents was a recipe for a kick ass party. And in her true bitch fashion Santana said anyone who didn't obey they theme would not be allowed into the party, lucky it was just a basic black and white party, the girls and Kurt, wore white and the guys all were in black. The only good thing about this damn dress code was that it was easy to kick the party crashers out. All the girls looked fierce, Kurt made sure that every single one of them looked hot and told them it was his mission that every single one of them hooked up with at least one person by the end of the party, although half of the girls did already have boyfriends so it was inevitable. Santana wore a fitted tube top sequin dress with some white Coach Alexa heels that screamed "FUCK ME!" Brittany wore a very Marilyn Monroe-esque dress some white peep toes. Mercedes wore a white bubble dress with an empire waist and white pumps. Tina was the one not too happy about the theme because for one she didn't own anything white, it wasn't and exaggeration either because when Kurt showed up to survey e wardrobe her closet and draws were filled with black. But he got her to cave and she wore a fitted tube top dress and heels. Quinn wore a conservative but gorgeous dress with some short heels. And Kurt project Rachel was the hottest of them all she wore a white lace one-shoulder dress that hugged her every curve with white Jessica Simpson peep toes that were to die for. The guys needed bibs and help picking their jaws off the floor when they first saw the girls.
By the time midnight came around everyone was pretty much set off in groups or pairs, even the non-gleeks who were invited mixed and mingled. Quinn and Finn were off being the perfect little couple. Matt, Mike Brittany, Santana and two other cheerios were dancing. Artie rolled Tina around on his lap. Mercedes, Kurt and Rachel made the rounds drinking, dancing and just gossiping. And Puck well he was perched on one of the bar stools near the counter with a drink in his hand and talked to who ever decided to walk by, which was mostly slutty cheerios. But at about 3 minutes to midnight Santana took over the DJ's mic and announced that everyone gather round for the countdown, everyone crammed into the room and once the countdown stated Rachel realized everyone was paired off, Quinn with Finn, Artie with Tina, Brittany with Santana, Mike with some cheerio, Matt with another cheerio who looked like a wannabe Santana. And Kurt was with Mercedes. And just about everyone else, because at the stroke of midnight they were going to share the New Year's kiss. So Rachel stealthily made her way to the back of the crowd and at 2 she was turning to go down a hall when someone grabbed her wrist, before she had time to think she had time to think their lips where fused together. When Rachel's eyes slowly fluttered opened she saw the back of a very distinct haircut, a Mohawk to be exact walking away from her into the hallway. That was the second time she kissed Noah Puckerman.
On Valentine's Day it was Rachel Berry tradition to go to her friends and have them pick a candy out of a pink bag and it was always either a hug or kiss, she would then give them said hug or kiss and wish them a happy Valentine's Day. She usually only really had her fathers and Kurt, Mercedes, Tina and Artie but this year more people were added into the mix.
Of course she started the day of with dad and daddy, the both had picked out hugs. The first person she had seen at school was Artie, his mom always dropped him off earlier so he wouldn't have to worry about maneuvering around crowds of students. Rachel helped him out of the van and they went into the school together, after they stopped at both of the lockers Rachel put the bag on his lap. Artie reached in and pulled out a kiss.
"Promise, I won't tell Tina if you won't," he said jokingly.
Rachel just smiled and gave her friend a peck on the cheek.
"Mami am I gonna have to kick your ass for Tina?" Asked the Latina.
"Rachel shook her head, "pick one," she said pointing to the bag in Artie's lap.
"Yummy, chocolate. Thanks Rach."
"Is it a hug or kiss?"
"Kiss, wh-" but before she could ask Rachel gave her a peck on the cheek and said, "Happy Valentine's Day Santana."
During second period she saw Mercedes and Kurt who got a hug and a kiss respectively. During lunch she saw Quinn, Finn, Brittany and Mike. Quinn got a hug, Finn a kiss and was bit worried that Quinn would get jealous, after the peck on his cheek he had the most priceless facial expression everyone was laughing. Brittany and Mike each got a hug. Before glee rehearsal she was able to see Tina and Matt, who both got kisses, Puck walked in just as Matt got his kiss on the cheek.
"Damn Rutherford, are you blushing?"
"Shut up Puck."
"So since when have you and Berry been swapping spit."
"It ain't like that man its her Valentine's day tradition, you pick out either a Hershey kiss or hug and which ever it is she gives it to you. And for the record it was just a peck."
"Whatever dude."
They went through rehearsal just a run through of there newer numbers. Puck was out the door once Mr. Shue said "Alright guys that it for today." He didn't need to hear anymore. He didn't even notice the tiny brunette following right behind him. He threw his bags in the bed of the truck and turned to open his truck.
"Holy FUCK Berry!!!"
She just giggled, "sorry Noah. Here you're the person I just wanted to make sure I got everyone. So go on pick one." She held the bag in his face.
He pulled out the chocolate, unwrapped it and put it in his mouth, "mmm thanks Berry."
He put the little piece of foil in his pocket.
"But, Iā¦Noah I don't know what kind it was," she whined. "Now I don't know whether you get a kiss or a-"
But before she finished her sentenced Puck's lips were on hers.
"That answers your question, right?"
Rachel just dumbly nodded her head.
"Later Berry. Thanks for the hug it was sweet." He gave her a wink and jumped into his truck.
Rachel Berry realized that she kissed Noah Puckerman for a third time, and she was tricked into it.
Every year she wore on St. Patrick's Day she wore a shirt that said Kiss me I'm Irish. But nothing ever came of it, half the girls in McKinley wore a shirt like that as a matter of fact.
"Bullshit."
"Excuse me."
"You heard me Berry I said bull shit."
"Noah I don't appreciate your language and I don't have a clue as to why you are speaking to me in that manner."
"There is no way your Irish."
"I will have you know that I am in fact Irish, one sixteenth from daddy's side." She said with a triumphant smile.
"Well then," he stepped forward and gave Rachel a peck on the lips. "I guess today was my lucky day, I got to kiss an Irish Jew."
That was the fourth time Rachel Berry was kissed Noah Puckerman.
The fifth time Rachel doesn't even remember, all she knows is that they went to the lake during Spring Break, Kurt and Santana kept giving her punch or at least that is what they told her it was, now she knows it was spike with every type of liquor known to man. It led to a picture of her straddling Puck in the bed of truck with her tongue down his throat.
Every year Rachel helps out at the Lima county fair, this year she was asked by Quinn to help out at the Cheerio booth. It was probably the most popular booth at the entire fair. On 4th of July Rachel found that especially to be true, it seemed everyone wanted a chance to kiss Lima's finest. Rachel was in charge of taking people money and telling them when there time was up. The Cheerios for the day were Quinn and Santana, they would alternate every hour, little kids got a peck on the cheek, high school and college guys a peck on the lips and anyone who looked to be older the 30 a peck on the cheek.
"Rach, Quinn was supposed to be back 20 minutes ago, this is the last hour before we close the booth and my lips need a rest."
"No one is even here right now Santana."
"But still it isn't cool, I mean she totally flaked on me to spend time with lover boy." Whined the Latina.
"Fine if you'd like we can close early, ten more minutes fine with you?"
"Only if you are the one working the last ten minutes," she said with a smirk.
"What? No!"
"But you said it yourself no one is even here Rach. So come on what's ten minutes. And besides now it's like what eight minutes?"
Rachel's nostrils flared.
The Latina gave her the sweetest smile.
"Fine, but only because it is now five minutes and pretty sure no one is even coming, they are all most likely head to fin good spots for the fireworks."
Those were the longest five minutes Rachel had ever experienced, and no one came, until the final minute.
"Lopez, Berry."
"Puck," said the Latina happily.
"What got you so happy?"
"Well you are Berry's first customer and the last for the night."
Puck looked to Rachel who looked as if she wanted to kill the Cheerio, "how much?"
"3 dollars for one or 5 dollars for two."
"Puck slapped a five dollar bill in front of Santana, I just need one but you can keep the change."
He turned to Rachel, "come on Berry Pucker up."
Santana snorted.
But Rachel leaned over the table to give Puck a peck on the lips, before she knew what was happening he grabbed the back of her head and deepened the kiss and she let out a little whimper. This was by far the best kiss between them.
He pulled away from he and the stepped back and sat in the chair.
"Thanks for the support Puck," said Santana.
Just then Quinn walked up, "sorry guys. I kinda lost track of time with Finn. But close up we totally got a good spot to watch the fireworks."
As Quinn walked away she gave Santana a wink over her shoulder that Rachel was totally oblivious to because she was still in a kiss-induced daze, from the sixth time she had been kissed by Noah Puckerman.
Since the last kiss Puck and Rachel shared they spent more time together, it was hard to tell of they were a couple or not, they would hold hands, he would hug her and whisper things in her ear. But no one ever saw them kissing, but everyone swore something was going on and it wasn't until August, yes a whole month later, during Rachel party that they got the confirmation they were looking for.
Rachel had opened all her presents and was thanking everyone. They were all outside on the patio just enjoying the summer, when they heard the strumming of a guitar from the inside of the house, one of Rachel's dad held the door open and out walked Puck with his guitar singing Sweet Caroline. Rachel was beaming and when he finished he said "Happy Birthday babe!" and gave her a wink.
She was biting her bottom lip, trying to contain her smile and the happy tears forming in her eyes, and as soon Puck put down his guitar she jumped out of her seat towards Puck and kissed him, he smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her closer to him.
"Lucky number seven," he whispered in her ear.
And she laughed because he was keeping count too.
