A/N: So I'm back once again, so lately my new obsession has been Glee and I am obsessed with the Rachel and Noah/Puck relationship/friendship (I was a massive Puckleberry Shipper the first time round and this time round tbh!)

A/N: Inspired from a friend of mine.. A Series of 'What If's?'

Plot: What if it was Puck that Mr Schuester found in the Shower instead Of Finn? Mainly Puckleberry, but will contain other Glee Pairings, AU (may still have some Glee story lines in it though)

Hope you enjoy this chapter x x x


When Rachel gets home after school, maybe not directly after school she notes happily but after Noah has given her a lift home in his pick up truck and she's kissed him (which he reciprocated by the way), she's got a huge smile on her face as she is floating past her dad and daddy, she offers them a hello with a happy dreamily sigh on her way to her bedroom.

Leroy is smiling behind his newspaper where as Hiram is scowling at his other half, Hiram didn't know why Leroy liked this Noah Puckerman boy, there was something Hiram didn't like about that boy, he couldn't put his finger on it.

He looks like a jock, probably acts like a jock and he might hurt his baby girl.

That was it.

Plain and Simple, he didn't want Rachel to get hurt.

"You know you can always get her to invite him round?" Leroy says to Hiram, "Just him and not his Mother to see what he's like" He says and a smile appears on Hiram's face as his other half is speaking.

"Leroy babe, you might actually be on to something" Hiram says, walking upstairs to go see their daughter.

He knocks on his daughters bedroom door, he hears her shout out a come in from where ever she was in her room, when he enters his daughter's bedroom, he finds her sitting in the middle of her very pink bed with music books scattered all around her, she looks up at her taller father expectantly, he's about to ask her about her 'boyfriend' he uses the term loosely as his daughter has never mentioned having a said boyfriend, that's until she speaks.

"Are you ok daddy?" She asks him, her voice genuinely laced with concern, he must have spaced out thinking of his little girl growing up and getting a boyfriend, "Did you want to talk about something? You've been staring at me for the past five minutes" She adds, he blinks shaking his head lightly.

"I was just wondering how that music club of yours was going?" He lies but it's something he can get away with it as he knows Rachel Barbara Berry loves music.

"Oh daddy, it's amazing, today Mr Schuester nearly left because his wife is with child, but then Noah came up with this genius plan to save the day. He got Mr Schuester to stay so Glee is saved daddy!" She says clapping happily like a child, "I'm actually working on what song I'm going to sing tomorrow" Hiram Berry couldn't fault his daughters passion, he was shocked that his first impression of Noah Puckerman was wrong, he wasn't just like every other High School Jock- He heard from Leroy that Noah played Basketball and Football but this boy was now out defending the Glee Club too.

He is out there being Rachel's hero more like.

"Oh Star that's amazing, good job you have Noah then, I will leave you too it, dinner will be ready in about an hour though" He says quickly leaving his daughters bedroom and heading back downstairs, where Leroy stares at him with his 'I told you so' eyes, how is his other half always right?

Maybe Noah Puckerman wasn't that bad after all, his mother Debbie had been a friend of Leroy's a while, Hiram sees her now and again mainly at Temple, all he knew about her was she was a single mother to a troubled teenage son after her husband Amos Puckerman disappeared one night when Noah was seven. But Noah wasn't like his father, he wanted to be a better man by the looks of it.


He couldn't help but smile when he got home, she initiated the kiss they had shared in his Pick Up Truck not the other way round, Rachel Berry wanted him and the feelings were mutual, he didn't know when it happened but he likes Rachel Berry, he makes his way up to his bedroom changing into some light grey sweats and a white vest top, he's going to shoot some hoops before he order some dinner with the money his Mother left him earlier on in the day.

He's not been shooting hoops long when he hears a car pulling up near his drive, he already knows who it is he doesn't need to turn around,

"So I saw your performance earlier" He hears his best friend since he was five, Finn Hudson say.

"Yeah?" He spins on his heel to look at his best friend and his girlfriend standing on his drive way.

"So Glee club means something to you?" Finn asks.

"Yeah it does" He replies casually.

"Because from what I saw, you just wanted to get with that freak Rachel Berry" He hates the way Quinn speaks about Rachel.

"Don't you ever speak about her that way!" He almost roars at his so called friends.

"I knew it! Quinn was right you are into the Queen of the Freaks" This times it's Finn with the nicknames for Rachel.

"Dude I warned you" Puck can't help himself, he swings and connects with Finn's mouth, where the disgusting words came out from, Puck storms back into his house slamming his door shut just as he hears Quinn scream and Finn's groan of pain, but Puck doesn't care, they are no longer his friends.

Fuck them he doesn't need them anyway.

He had the Glee Club, they were his friends now.

Text Message

To Puck

From Santana

Heard just punched Frankenteen good on you.

Puck just laughs, trust it to be Santana on his side since she hates Finn and Quinn equally.


The next morning at school Finn is sporting a busted lip, the gossip spreads like wild fire that the busted lip Finn has was caused by his best friends fist- none other than Noah Puckerman.

Rachel looks at him with hurt in her eyes when she finds out, she'd been ignoring the gossip but it was lunchtime now so she couldn't avoid it or ignore it.

She was wrong about Noah being a nice guy she thinks.

"Baby, I-" He tries to explain, but she runs away from him into the Choir Room, but he's hot on her heels.

"Noah, violence isn't the answer" She says her hands on her hips.

"I couldn't stand the way he spoke about my girl" He says with a smile on his face.

"Your girl?" Her face drops, he had a girlfriend, that kiss meant nothing to him she thinks as she turns away from him.

"Yeah, he doesn't get to judge you, he doesn't know you" Noah says, stepping towards the petite brunette as he sees her face drop.

"I'm your girl?" She asks nervously, turning around to closing the gap between them.

"Yeah, if you wanna be?" He says casually, shrugging his shoulders.

"Obviously I wanna be your girl Noah" She says laughing as she jumps into his arms.

He catches her with ease, his arms making their way around her slender petite frame, pulling her in close to capture her lips with his own.

She pulls back from him smiling at him biting her lip nervously.

"Come on babe, you man has to eat" He says entwining her hand with him, leading her back towards the cafeteria.


Santana is sitting with her best friend Brittany when she hears the so called hot gossip of the day, she smiles shaking her head slightly, as she already knew what most of the school were whispering about, she looks up to find Puck walking into the cafeteria with Rachel Berry at his side, he's telling her something and the midget is smiling and laughing with him.

Santana can't help but smile, ok she's the first to admit she isn't Rachel Berry's biggest fan but she's happy that her best boy is happy, well happier than she's seen him in a while, plus he punched Frankenteen it was a win win situation.

"Puckerman, Berry" She hollers at them when they are in ear shot of her, she sees them both look at her, Puck with his trademark smirk but the petite girl with him looks shocked that the Latina had said her name and not a nasty name.

"Me and Britt saved you a seat" She says waving them over.

The couple sit across from her and Brittany, Santana notices the way Brittany lights up at the pair, "You know if you combine your names it makes Puckleberry" The blonde says and the three of them chuckle as Brittany smiles proud of herself.

"Rachel, how does it feel to know your boyfriend punched Finn in the face for you?" Brittany asks, absent minded as she plays with her salad, "I'd love it if Santana punches someone in the face for me" She adds rather happily.

"Well Brittany, violence is always the answer, but it's nice to know I have someone looking out for me" Rachel replies. smiling at the blonde as Noah squeezes her hand under the table.

"Britt, you know that I'd punch someone in the face for you" Santana says looking at her friend before he gaze rests on Rachel "And same goes for you midget now you are Puckerman's girl" Santana adds it's probably the nicest thing she's ever said to Rachel in the past year.

"Thanks Santana" Rachel responds nervously, did that make her and Santana friends?
