AN: SURPRISE! ANOTHER CHAPTER! :D I figured since I haven't updated in a while, I'd give this chapter as a "sorry" to my fellow readers. (Btw, my last chapter, I wrote on WordPad, so that's why the format sucks.)This might be my favorite chapter, because it was actually really fun to write, and I was so giddy! The song selections were a bit hard for me, but once I figured out where I was going with this chapter, it all clicked. Anyways, hope you guys enjoy this chapter as much as I did! Reviews are welcome!
It was Thursday, the day before Puck and Blaine left to go on their road trip, and they were beyond excited. Blaine was smiling all day, not letting anything bring him down, and Puck couldn't help but smile either, because his best friend was smiling. Everyone in glee club was jealous of the two, but only Santana really knew the real reason why Puck was taking Blaine instead of anyone else. She would take all the credit for it, but she figured she'd let Puck have this one. He owed her big time though. Just seeing her boy happy made her happy, and she hoped Puck would tell Blaine how he feels about him or else she would have to slap the boy.
During glee, Blaine and Puck sat next to each other, talking about their trip, not really caring about what was going on in today's lesson, when Mr. Schue spoke directly to them. "Puck, Blaine." They both stopped their conversation and looked at him. "I know you guys will be leaving us for a while, but you are still in glee club today, so please pay attention to the lesson." Mr. Schue continued with the lesson, while Puck and Blaine sat there and listened. They both kept giving each other glances and laughing silently. "The lesson for today is singing a song expressing your emotions. Any emotion you have felt this week or in the past month, I want you to sing a song expressing that emotion, letting it all out." Puck looked at Blaine, Blaine already looking at him, hoping that he wouldn't sing about Kurt, because even though Puck was there for Blaine, he was tired hearing about lady lips and how he hurt his boy. Blaine smiled at Puck and said, "So what emotion are you going to sing about?" Puck said, "I'm not sure. Probably about love or happiness, you know, that bullshit."
Blaine started to laugh and say, "Well, I'm sure you'll win people over just by flashing your abs."
"Like my abs, huh, Anderson?" Puck said with amusement.
"Can't deny, Puck. Your abs are super hot." Blaine said, intentionally flirting with Puck.
Puck smiled and blushed. He can't believe Blaine is flirting with him right now. "So what are you going to sing about, Curly Q?"
"Since you won't tell me what emotion you're singing about, I'm not going to tell you mine." Blaine said, being playful with the gorgeous boy in front of him.
Puck started laughing and said, "Alright, pretty boy. Do your thing."
Blaine raised his hand and said, "Mr. Schue? I have a song I'd like to sing."
Mr. Schuester looked happy to see Blaine participating in the lesson, hoping that Puck will join as well. "Alright, Blaine. Come on down."
Blaine walked to the front of the choir room and smiled at everyone.
"So, Blaine, what emotion are you singing about today?"
"The emotion I'll be singing about is love. It's not exactly a love song, but it has ties to love." Blaine said, confident in his song choice.
He pointed to the guitar guy and he started playing. The beginning of the song was a whole guitar riff and then Blaine's voice kicked in.
My body is sanctuary
My blood is pure
Doot doo doo Doot doo doo doo
You want me bad
I think you're cool
But I'm not sure
Doot doo doo Doot doo doo doo
Follow me
Don't me such a holy fool
Follow me
I need something more from you
It's not about sex or champagne
You holy fool
Doot doo doo
Doot doot doo doo
If you want me
Meet me at electric chapel
If you want me
Meet me at electric chapel
If you want to steal my heart away
Meet me, meet me baby in a safe place
Come on, meet me in electric chapel
The whole glee club was into the song, dancing in their seats, singing along; Puck, on the other hand, was staring at Blaine. He was absolutely loving it. Blaine's vocals were incredible.
Confess to me where you have been
Next to the bar
Doot doo doo
Doot doot doo doo
Pray for your sins
Right under the glass disco ball
Doot doo doo
Doot doot doo doo
Follow me
Don't me such a holy fool
Follow me
I need something sacred from you
Together we'll find a way
To make a pure love work in a dirty way
Blaine moved his eyes around the whole glee club, looking at everyone while singing, but stopped when he found Puck's eyes. Puck was staring at him in amazement, and Blaine was glad this song was getting his attention. He kept his eyes on Puck as he sang the chorus.
If you want me
Meet me at electric chapel
If you want me
Meet me at electric chapel
If you wanna steal my heart away
Meet me, meet me baby in a safe place
Come on, meet me in electric chapel
Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh
If you want me
Meet me at electric chapel
If you want me
Meet me at electric chapel
If you wanna steal my heart away
Meet me, meet me baby in a safe place
Come on, meet me in electric chapel
Meet me meet me
Meet me meet me
Meet me meet me
As the song ended, everyone stood up and applauded Blaine, including Puck, who kept his eyes on Blaine. Blaine smiled and took a bow. He went and took his seat next to Puck, who still had his eyes on him.
"Blaine, that was one of your best vocal performances!" Rachel said.
"Thanks, Rachel!" Blaine said with cheer.
After most of the glee club went, Puck still hadn't gone. He was too amazed by Blaine. That boy could sing anything. For his song choice, it made him wonder if it was about him or not. Either way, he still gets to sing and his song will charm the pants off of Blaine. He was sure of it.
"Mr. Schue? I have a song." Puck said.
"Oh. Great! Come on down, Puck." Mr. Schuester said.
Puck took a quick look at Blaine and said, "Watch and learn, sexy."
Blaine wondered what Puck was going to sing. He hoped that the song he sang showed Puck that Blaine liked him, but it seems as though it has failed. Nevertheless, if it didn't get through to him today, he will make it clear on their trip.
"The emotion I'll be singing about is love. I know, so much for variety, right? Anyways, hit it." Puck said, getting straight to the song.
Haven't we met
You're some kind of beautiful stranger
You could be good for me
I have a taste for danger
If I'm smart then I'll run away
But I'm not so I guess I'll stay
Heaven forbid
I take my chance on a beautiful stranger
With the next verse, he looked at Blaine and stared at him.
I looked into your eyes
And my world came tumbling down
You're the devil in disguise
That's why I'm singing this song
To know you is to love you
You're everywhere I go
And everybody knows
To love you is to be part of you
I pay for you with tears
And swallow all my pride
He turned towards Santana, grabbed her, and started dancing with her. Everyone was really into the song, including Blaine, who was jealous of Santana dancing with Puck. He wanted to be dancing with Puck.
Dah-dah-dah-de dah-de-dah-de dah dah dah-dah-dum
Beautiful stranger
Dah-dah-dah-de dah-de-dah-de dah dah dah-dah-dum
Beautiful stranger
Santana found Blaine's gaze, smiled, and then ran up to him. He looked surprised at this notion, but played along. She grabbed his hand, and brought him down by Puck and her. Puck smiled as Blaine was looking at him, and he continued singing.
If I'm smart then I'll run away
But I'm not so I guess I'll stay
Haven't you heard
I fell in love with a beautiful stranger
I looked into your face
My heart was dancing all over the place
I'd like to change your point-of-view
If I could just forget about you
To know you is to love you
Blaine knew the song, so when the tempo picked back up, he started dancing with Santana and Puck, who all had a blast dancing together. Everyone else wanted to jump in on the dancing action, so they all got up and started dancing with Puck.
You're everywhere I go
And everybody knows
Puck stopped dancing and looked at Blaine, who was already looking at Puck, and they stood there, as if it was in slow motion, everybody dancing around them, and sang the next part.
I looked into your eyes
And my world came tumbling down
You're the devil in disguise
That's why I'm singing this song to you
To know you is to love you
The tempo picked back up and they were back to dancing again.
You're everywhere I go
And everybody knows
I pay for you with tears
And swallow all my pride
Dah-dah-dah-de dah-de-dah-de dah dah dah-dah-dum
Beautiful stranger
Dah-dah-dah-de dah-de-dah-de dah dah dah-dah-dum
Beautiful stranger
The song ended, and everyone went to congratulate Puck on his song choice and singing, to which Puck smiled and beamed with pride. The bell rang right as Puck was walking towards Blaine, who looked at Puck with lust. He knew Puck was singing that song to him. He wasn't an idiot. But did he really mean it? That's the question Blaine was stuck on. When Puck reached Blaine, he asked, "So? How'd I do?"
Blaine smiled and said, "I think you did wonderful. Although, I'm wondering where your inspiration came from?"
Puck laughed and asked, "You would like to know, wouldn't you?"
With that, both of the boys gathered their stuff and walked out of the choir room. As they were walking down the hall, they didn't say anything to each other, both thinking about the songs the other sang about them, and they couldn't help but keep a smile on their faces. When they walked out the doors of McKinley, Puck finally broke the silence. "Do you want to stay the night at my house tonight? You know, since, you'll be coming with me tomorrow anyways. It'll save you an extra trip and stuff."
Blaine looked at Puck and said, "Yeah. Sure. I have my stuff in my car, so I can just drive to your house and leave my car there until we get back?"
Puck chuckled, "Were you planning on staying at my house anyways, Anderson?"
Blaine turned red. Puck noticed and said, "I'm just kidding with you dude, but yeah, that sounds like a good idea."
"Alright, well then, I guess I'll meet you at your house." Blaine said.
"See you there!"
As Blaine drove off, Puck stepped into his car, only to see his passenger side door being opened. He didn't know who it was at first, but when he saw the Cheerios uniform, he knew who it was.
"So that was a cute set up you both had today." Santana said with a smile on her face.
"It was, wasn't it? I had a great time singing my song. Thanks for joining in, by the way." Puck said.
"No problem." Santana said. Puck was about to say something, when Santana started to speak again. "Blaine's song was pretty interesting. Have any idea who it was about?" Santana already knew who it was about. She's not an idiot. She wondered if Puck actually knew who it was about though.
"Um, I want to say it was about me, but that's probably just my hormones talking." Puck said, chuckling.
Santana slapped Puck's head and yelled, "OF COURSE IT WAS ABOUT YOU, YOU IDIOT!"
"What? No way." Puck said.
Santana scoffed and shook her head. She looked back at Puck and said, "You have to be the biggest dumbass I have ever fucking met. Of course that song was about you. He looked at you for almost the WHOLE THING! Why can't you just accept the fact that this boy likes you as much as you like him? What other hints does he need to throw out at you to make you see it? What is wrong with you?"
Puck sat there, thinking about what Santana had said. "You're right. I'm a complete idiot. Here he was singing a song to me, looking directly at me, and I'm still questioning if it was about me or not."
"There you go! Finally putting two and two together." Santana said with sarcasm.
"You know, you can stop being a bitch anytime you'd like to, Santana." Puck said.
"I know, but it wouldn't get my point across. So I'm going to continue being a bitch to you until you see what I saw. Puck, the boy is in love with you. That song he sang was about feeling safe to find love. Do you see why he sang it to you?"
Puck was thinking about it, too slow for Santana, so she answered her question for him. "He was pretty much singing that you made him feel safe, so he found love, in you."
Puck heard her words and said, "Holy shit."
Santana said, "Yeah, holy shit is right. I can't believe you didn't get that when he sang it to you. I'm sure everyone in glee knows it."
Puck looked at her and said, "It's hard to listen to something when the person singing it is so…incredible."
"Yeah, I know. I feel that way when Britt sings, but even I still pay attention to the song she's singing. That number you did pretty much sealed the deal for him, though. His eyes were filled with lust. He was looking at you like you were dinner." Santana said with laughter.
Puck was about to say something, but Santana cut him off. "Now that I've educated you on the topic of someone confessing their feelings for you, I have to go. Britt is waiting for me. Have fun on your trip, and remember, Blaine is your main priority. You've earned his trust. Now show him what makes you, you. Text me if you need anything." With that, Santana kissed Puck's cheek, and got out of the car, leaving Puck sitting there, thinking about the whole song ordeal.
As Puck was driving, he thought to himself. "Blaine really does like me. I can't believe this is happening. I can't believe I was so stupid to think otherwise when it was clear from the start. All the looks, the flirting, the song; how could I be such an idiot!?"
As he got to his house, Blaine's car was there, but Blaine wasn't in the car. After he parked his car, Puck walked inside and found Blaine sitting on the couch. "Oh, hey. I hope you don't mind, but I let myself in. You were gone for a while, so I did-"Puck interrupted him. "It's fine man. How about we go upstairs to my room and talk?" Blaine never liked when someone said "let's talk," but he said, "Okay.."
When they got upstairs, Puck shut his bedroom door behind Blaine and said, "Your song today was really awesome."
"Yeah? You liked it?" Blaine asked, hopeful.
"As a matter of fact, I loved it." Puck said, smiling.
"Good. It's a great song." Blaine said, wondering where this conversation was going.
"Yes it is. Say, Blaine, who was that song about?" Puck asked, hoping Blaine would tell him the answer he wanted to hear.
Blaine looked nervous, but tried to keep confident. "Um, the song was about this boy I know…"
"Uh huh…" Puck said, moving closer to Blaine.
"He's….sexy…caring…and he has a tendency of being a bad boy…"Blaine said, seeing Puck getting closer.
"Hm…he sounds interesting…what is this boy's name?" Puck asked, standing right in front of Blaine, both feeling each other's body heat radiate off each other.
Blaine looked up at Puck. He could feel Puck's breath on his face. He looked at his lips, then Puck's eyes. "His…his…his name…" He said nervously.
"Is…" Puck said, knowing Blaine meant him.
"Puck…"
"That's all I needed to hear." With that, Puck leaned down, and kissed Blaine on the lips. The fireworks going between the two was extreme. Both boys felt electricity from their heads down to their toes. Puck pulled away and looked at the blushing boy. "Your song, was about me."
"Yeah." Blaine said, but he wasn't done talking. "Your song was about me, wasn't it?"
Puck smiled and said, "Guilty."
They both chuckled. They couldn't believe this just happened. They both have been hoping this moment would come sooner or later, and it just so happened, it came sooner.
"I was going to tell you I liked you when we were in San Fran, but I guess I couldn't wait." Puck said with a smile. Blaine smiled and said, "I was going to do the same thing. I was going to tell you I liked you when we got there." They both laughed and Puck said, "I guess we think alike." Blaine smiled, and said, "I guess we do." He pulled Puck's head down and kissed him, this time more passionately. Puck ran his tongue across Blaine's lower lip, asking for entrance. Blaine obliged.
After about five minutes of pure making out, Blaine pulled away, and said, "As much as I like this right now, I'm really hungry." Puck let out a laugh and said, "What do you want to eat? I'll cook you something."
"Noah Puckerman knows how to cook? Oh boy. Did Hell freeze over?" Blaine said, laughing.
"Hey! I'm a great cook. Just another thing Puckasaurus is good at. Among many other things." He said with a wink.
Blaine blushed. "You're so bad."
"You love it." Puck said, hugging Blaine.
"I do. I really do."
After Puck cooked an amazing homemade pizza, both of the boys laid in Puck's bed, watching movies, occasionally making out, and talking about the trip. It was midnight, and both boys were worn out. Puck and Blaine had been cuddling all night, well, when they weren't making out, Puck being the big spoon. They were just about to go to bed, when Blaine turned around to face Puck. Puck and Blaine smiled at each other, never breaking eye contact.
Blaine asked, "So what happens now?"
Puck knew this conversation was coming. "As to what we are?"
"Yeah."
"How about we just enjoy each other's company until we get out to San Francisco, then we can decide what we want to be?"
Blaine looked discouraged. "Okay…"
Puck knew that look. "Hey, don't get all sad on me now. I just want to make sure we both want the same thing, so we don't jump right in and then wind up not liking each other. I know we both do, and I'm sure that won't happen with us, but I'm new to this. You know, making out with a guy. Let's get to know each other even more, make out, and then we'll see where we are. Okay?"
Blaine still looked discouraged, but let it go for tonight. "Okay. That sounds fine, I guess."
"Hey. Trust me, Blaine. Please." Puck asked.
Blaine had trouble with trusting people, ever since his break up with Kurt, but what Puck said the other day, about making new memories, he knew he had to start trusting again. Puck has earned it, so it's time to let the past go, and make new memories.
"I trust you." Blaine said.
"Good. You'll like what I have planned. It will all be worth it in the end." Puck said with a smile.
"I can't wait." Blaine said, with sincerity. He smiled and started to make out with Puck again. Puck smiled into his kiss and kissed him back.
"Alright, we have to go to bed. We got a long day tomorrow." Puck said, breaking away from the kiss.
"Aw." Blaine said.
"Don't worry. There's plenty of me for you to have. I'm not going anywhere." Puck said, looking in Blaine's eyes.
Blaine couldn't do anything but smile. He kissed Puck again, and said, "Goodnight, Puck."
Puck smiled and said, "Goodnight, Blaine."
Puck couldn't help but smile, because Blaine really had no idea what Puck had planned for the trip. He was going to make sure Blaine was his. He smiled and thought to himself, "This is going to be the trip he'll never forget, and I'll make sure of it."
SO? Did you guys like it?! It might be a bit rushed, but I just felt that this chapter was really needed before the trip happened. Anyways, more good stuff coming! Hope you enjoyed!
