Puck can't believe that he managed to convince Rachel to go camping with him this weekend. It's normally something that he does with the guys every summer but when he found out early in their senior year of high school that she'd never been he'd made it his mission to have her camping out in the woods with him before the year was over. She had tried to give him all sorts of reasons and excuses as to why she shouldn't. She had used mosquitoes, the cold air being bad for her voice and his personal favorite "What about bears, Noah?" He had just chuckled and told her he'd bring along some citronella coils, he would keep her warm and just rolled his eyes before telling her, "I'd pop a bear in the nose if he tried to hurt you, Babe." Rachel had just given him her special smile after that along with a sweet kiss on the lips before informing him that she trusts him and would leave all of the planning up to him.
That's how he found himself snuggled up to his girl by the campfire with the old quilt that he had snagged from his Ma's bedroom wrapped around their bodies. Rachel had apparently gotten cold since she had decided to wear a tank top, a pair of shorts and cowboy boots (yeah he has no idea what the fuck is up with the cowboy boots when you're going camping but whatever). Puck couldn't really blame her though since it was somewhere in the 40s right now and he knew that her petite body couldn't contain heat as well as his could.
He was busy pointing out the various constellations that he had learned over the years and telling her a little bit about each one. Astronomy was one of his secret passions that he had never really told anyone about because he didn't want to look like a nerd to the student population of McKinley. But Rachel didn't seem to mind this hidden facet to his personality as she just gazed up at the sky in wonder every time he showed her a new one.
She turned her head and rested it on his shoulder as she burrowed deeper into the blanket and his arms that were wrapped around her. They were silent for a little while just listening to the crackling of the camp fire. Puck enjoyed the way the light from the fire seemed to make her hair and skin glow. In the quiet of the night he heard her whisper, "Thank you for this, Noah. I'm glad my first camping experience was with you."
"Me too, Babe, me too," he told her as he placed a gentle kiss to her forehead.

This one is going to have a companion piece drabble coming up soon and to everyone that left a review for my Foreign Exchange Student drabble, I am currently trying my best to come up with a continuation of it in one form or another but I can't promise when it will be up.
