Hi, everyone.

Thank you again for being so patient as I have taken so long to update. After I found out about the death of on of my idol's, I decided that it just didn't feel right to finish this story. But, after a few weeks, I received some encouragement and well, here's another chapter.

I dedicate this chapter to Cory Monteith, who was a huge part of all of our lives. I hope you all are doing better as time passes. Cory Monteith will be misses greatly but will remain in everyone's heart. And we have to remember that the show must go all over the place...or something. ;)

Please, enjoy this chapter! I hopefully put all the things you guys were asking me to write about! thanks for alllll the love.

I do not own Glee or New Girl

"Rachel!" Puck called as he climbed up the stairs to the roof.

"What do you need now?" Rachel had been coming up here for 2 week to avoid him when everyone else is gone.

"Look, I just want to apologize for kissing you. I shouldn't have done that, you're like my sister now." Puck told her.

"Noah, I just don't understand why you had to, if you don't even like me." she said.

"Well, I guess I just got a little jealous that Finn likes you better than me, but I realize now that we all like each other and were a family. I do love ya, Rach!" he siad.

Rachel cracked a smile, "I love you too Noah." she said and touched his arm

"Oh, and by the way, if Hudson hurts you, I'm going to kick his ass." Puck said in a stern voice.

"But, he's YOUR best friend!"

"But you're like my sister and if he hurts you in anyway, let me know and I will show him what i'm made of."

Rachel laughed and got up to hug Puck.

"You're not so bad, Puckerman." she winked and left him alone on the patio.

"Rachel, are you making those waffle sandwiches again, those are to die for!" Puck said who got a nod of agreement from Blaine.

"Yeah, oh my god, can we put Nutella and bananas in it this time?" Blaine said.

"We don't have any Nutella because Finn ate it all last night, the evidence is all over the sink. Honestly, does that man do anything?" Rachel said as Finn trudged through the kitchen.

"What is that smell?" Blaine asked.

"Nothing." Finn said with a small smile.

"It smells like a forest. Jesus, Hudson, did you spend the night camping?" Puck said and covered his nose.

"No, I did my laundry." Finn said and took a sip of his soda

"Finn Hudson doing laundry?!" Rachel screeched.

"I just smell so fresh and my clothes are soft as a damn baby! It's the best feeling in the world. Does anyone want a salad? I'm making one for lunch." he said and started pulling out the necessary ingredients for a salad.

"You haven't touched a green vegetable in years. Are you okay?" Blaine asked and put a hand to Finn's forehead.

"I am fine! I just think it's time for me to take charge of my life." he said while tossing his salad. "I want to be a man, also you guys have to start paying for your drinks at the bar, sorry no more Take a Drink Leave a Drink. I wont have it."

Rachel was feeling a little hot all of the sudden, like she had no control over her body temperature and she couldn't speak.

"You have got to be kidding me."Puck said.

"Besides, men eating salads is hot. Isn't it, Rachel?" Finn smiled his crooked smile and brushed Rachel's shoulder as he passed her.

"Oh, my...god. I have to go wash...dishes." Rachel stuttered as she ran to her room.

"There are no dishes in there?" Blaine pondered.

Rachel had no idea what she was feeling, she felt all weird and tingly. Was she turned on by the fact that Finn was being a man and taking charge of his life? She was and she wanted him, badly. She needed to tell him now. She marched out of her room and past Puck and Blaine who were slightly confused by Rachel doing the dishes.

"Fuck man, something's wrong with Rachel, did she just say she had to do the dishes in her room and then come out of her room?" Puck asked Blaine.

"She looks so fierce right we can ask her later." Blaine shrugged.

"Hey, dude. Want to go to the pet store?" Puck asked.

"Um..Sure. But let me take a shower first." Blaine said and headed to the bathroom.

Rachel knocked vigorously on Finn's door.

"Finn! Open up!" she yelled.

Finally, he opened the door, "What?! I was changing!" he said.

"I..I well, I'm sorry. I just- where are you going?" she stuttered.

"To the hardware store. We need some stuff fixed around here." he said with pride.

"Oh." Rachel breathed.

"Wanna come?" he asked her and she didn't know if she could handle being around Finn while he handled tools.

"Oh, no. You go ahead. I have to do the...dishes! So, theres that." Rachel said quickly and avoided contact.

"Rachel, I did the dishes this morning. C'mon, lets go! Ill show you the caulk." he said happily.

Rachel choked, "The what?"

"You know. the thing that squeezes out glue and stuff. It's my favorite tool." he said casually.

"Mine too." Rachel said under her breath.

"I just don't understand why we are the pet store." Blaine said.

"I like fish. Straight men can like pet stores. Let's go look at the fish."

"You are acting so weird. Whats going on?" Blaine pressured Puck.

"Well, if y you must know. Quinn and I did the nasty two weeks ago and she still hasn't called me!" Puck screeched.

"What does this have to do with the pet store?" Blaine asked.

"Well, when I was a boy, my nana would buy a fish every time I had a girlfriend and she would say if the fish lived then so would that relationship. Every time my fish would die and then so would the girl. My nana would say, 'Noah, she just isn't the one. Next time the fish will decide once more.' So, now we have to buy a Quinn fish." Puck said and stopped to look at Blaine's reaction. Blaine stared at Puck for awhile and then started cracking up.

"Puck..Fish..oh my god...Quinn" Blaine said through gasps of air.

"Blaine stop!" he yelled at him.

"Puck, that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard! You actually believe your grandmother?"

"Nana was the smartest woman I know. How do you explain all those women leaving me over the years?!" Puck questioned.

"Well, maybe because you're a objectifying man who has no feelings toward women except psychical ones!" Blaine said wiping away his tears.

"Fuck you, man. We're getting a fish and ill show you." Puck said and walked over the goldfish.

Finn grunted as he tried out all the power tools and bared his huge grin to show Rachel each time. And every time her heart sped up and she decided that she needed his lips on hers. Though, she could never tell him this. She just continued to awkwardly be around him, good thing he was used to it.

"Rachel, this one is so nice." he said and picked up a drill and she watched his arms flex and she had to look away.

"Then let's buy it and go." she said and pulled his hand.

"Wait, wait. This one is bigger and harder." he said and showed her that one.

Rachel bit her lip and continued to watch his muscles move as he picked up drill after drill and finally she decided she couldn't take it anymore. She groaned really loud and started towards Finn.

"Finn, can we please go? I'm bored. Let's just get this one." she said and grabbed the drill from him. He teasingly pulled it back from her. She sighed and she tried one more time and finally he let go and she got a chin full of drill in her face.

"Oh my god, Rach!" Finn yelled and that was the last thing she heard on her way to the floor.

III

"Let's get this one, because it's sleek and shiny like Quinn's hair, but small like her uh...heart." Puck said as he watched a small goldfish twirl around a tank.

"Um, Okay. Yeah, let's get this one." Blaine said while trying to suppress the laughter.

"Excuse me! Pet store guy! I want this gold fish."

"Sorry, I can't sell you this one." the man said.

"And why the hell not?" Puck asked.

"He's part of that huge fish tank that's for sale. We were just cleaning it, so we had to put the fish out of the water. You can buy the tank though with all the other fish." he explained.

"Well, thanks anyway. We can just find another gold fish somewhere else." Blaine told the man.

"No, Blaine. I need this one. It's meant to be. It wont work, it has to be the first fish I pick!" Puck panicked.

"How much is the tank?" Blaine asked.

"Its $350, plus 100 for the treasure chest and jewels inside."

"Puck, this is just too-"

"We'll take it. We will take the whole fish tank." Puck said and pulled out his wallet.

"First, I need you to fill out a few papers."

"Jesus Christ, why? Quinn better call him." Blaine said.

III

Rachel wakes up and is in her bed. She feels a little groggy and she isn't sure why, so she slowly sits up in her bed. She groans a little because her legs hurt and she isn't sure why.

"Finn!" she calls and suddenly shuts her mouth because the pain is unbearable. Then she remembers that Finn hit her in the chin with that huge drill.

"Rachel! You're awake, the doctor said you would be awake in a few hours!" Finn said and sat next to her.

"Here, take this pain killer. It will make the pain stop. I am so so sorry about hitting you in the face. I really didn't mean to and now you're in pain." he said.

"Finn, don't worry about it. It's okay." she said as she swallowed the two pills.

"I'm going to go make you some soup, i'll be right back!" Finn said and got up to leave.

Rachel was started to feel a little better after some light magazine reading and she decided she couldn't feel the pain at all.

"Finny Bearrrrrr." she yelled as he walked into her room with the soup.

"Here, let's eat this." he said and sat next to her.

"Thanks for making me soup, I love soup. Especially this kind, with the stars in it." she giggled loudly and obnoxiously.

"Wow, those kicked in hard and fast." he muttered and put the soup down and grabbed the pain relieving cream. He squirted some onto his palm and started to rub it in the gash on her chin.

"Oowww. Finn that stings a little." she grabbed his hand and they locked eyes for a second. Rachel pulled his hand onto her chest.

"Can I tell you something, Mr Hudson." she slurred.

"What, anything?" he said nicely.

"I like you...a lot. More than Funny Girl." she laughed.

"Rachel, cmon. You're just on a lot of drugs right now."

Rachel pulled his face to hers and whispered, "I want to have sex with you. Right. Now."

Finn gulped.

III

Back in Puck's room, they were both staring at the aquarium they bought.

"It's actually so cool." Puck said.

"it's huge! It takes up half of your room!"Blaine argued.

"Hey, man, this is for Quinn. I really hope this one stays alive." Puck said and examined the goldfish.

"I'm sure it will, if you feed it properly." Blaine said blatantly.

"Shut up. I'll feed it." Puck said.

III

Rachel reached under Finn's shirt trying to get it off which wasn't working very well in her favor. She got on her knees and stumbled on to Finn.

"Finn, please. You know you want to have sex with me too. I love your soft tummy. Blaine makes fun of it all the time, but I love it." she giggled some more.

"Rach-Rachel, not like this. No." he said and grabbed her hands off his front side.

"Finnnny." she said and he twirled her around so he was pinning her down to the bed.

"Ooooo." she said and stopped trying to wriggle free.

For a few brief moments, he stared down at her and she stared up at him. They inched closer to each other and were a few centimeters apart and they're breathing was heavy.

"Finn.." she breathed.

Then as quick as the moment happened, it ended when Finn lost his balance on top of her and his hand ended up in the scorching hot bowl of soup.

"Shit!" and he tumbled on the floor.

Rachel just sat there and giggled as Finn writhed in pain on the ground, things just didn't get any easier for him, did they?

III

"Puck, it's been 12 hours of just staring at this fish. Can we please just go to breakfast? Or see what Finn and Rachel are doing?" Blaine pleaded.

"She hasn't called." Puck said.

"God, Puck! Look at you! Look, if she hasn't called you yet, she obviously isn't worth it. Any girl would die to have you as their boyfriend and she's just playing all of these stupid games. It's time to stop worrying about this fish theory because it isn't going to work and all those other times, have just been chance. You are better that this." Blaine said.

"You're right! I am. Quinn can suck it.!" Puck said and started moving the fish tank out of his room.

"Wait, what are you doing?" Blaine asked.

"Moving this to the living room, it's too pretty to be in my room. Thanks, Blaine, you really are the best roommate ever."

"Hey! I heard that." Finn said sipping his coffee. "What are you guys doing?"

"It's a long story, but we have this kickass fish tank now!" Puck said.

"Can I talk to you guys about something?"

"Sure." Blaine said.

"Well, yesterday I almost killed Rachel but she was on painkillers and I was trying to take care of her but she kept saying that she wanted to have sex with me." Finn said.

"Dude! Get that!" Puck said.

"Well, thats just it. I would have but she was on drugs and I couldn't just take advantage of her. Because like, I think I want to have sex with her too." Finn said.

"But you've always known you wanted to have sex with her?" Blaine asked.

"Well, yes. But I mean, I think I like her too much to have sex with her when she isn't in the right mind. You know?"

"Yeah, so what are you going to do?" Puck asked.

"I mean-"

"Good morning!" Rachel said with a yawn.

"Rachel! Oh my god, your chin! ew!" Blaine said.

"I know, its so ugly. Finn hit me, I think. I don't remember anything. Did you bring me home?" Rachel sat down next to Finn.

"Wait, you don't remember anything from yesterday?" Finn asked.

"Soft tummy!" Puck said and Blaine and him laughed lightly.

Rachel looked at Finn with confusion, "What?"

Finn tried to hide his disappointment, he was hoping that she would remember that she confessed her feelings to him and he was going to, as well.

"Well, I have to go to the bar and stuff. Remember if you guys come, pay for your beer!" he said and got up to leave.

"Cool fish tank!" Rachel said and went to her room.

III

Blaine knocked on the door three times quickly.

"Hello?" said the cool blonde who opened the door.

"Quinn. We need to talk." Blaine said.

"Uh, okay." Quinn said and opened the door for him to come in.

"Look, I know about you and Puck and for some weird reason, he really likes you. I mean he really likes you. He wants to build a life with you and he has been waiting around for you to call him or something for two weeks! You at least owe him that. Stop playing these games with him. Either tell him you love him too, or let him go. But stop these lies and hurt and games. Whoever hurt you in the past, Quinn, is gone so don't let them get in the way of all that." Blaine said and left before Quinn could say anything else.

III

Rachel headed to the bar so she could order something from Finn and just stop to say hello. She sat down in the chair closest to the cash register, where he always was when it was slow. She saw this mysterious black haired lady chatting it up with Finn and Finn was cleaning some glasses. He was showing off for this woman! Who was that woman? She had never seen her before.

"Hi, what can I get you, hun?" the woman approached her.

"Do you even work here?" she snarled at her.

"Yes, I'm the new manager. So what do you want or get outta my bar!" she said.

"Rach! Hey, so you've met my awesome new boss, Jessica!" Finn said.

"You know Finn? Well I must say he is the only bartender i've had that wears clean shirts and eats salad. A true man, he's the best." she said and walked off.

"So that's why you changed your lifestyle? For her?!" Rachel said started to get angry at Finn.

"Well, yeah, she's hot." Finn said.

"Finn!"

"Rachel, are you jealous? We are just friends, you and me. You've made that clear." he said.

"I'm tired of being your friend, your room -friend. It's so hard! Just decide what we are Finn, or we're nothing." Rachel said and walked out of the bar.

III

Puck was staring at the tank again, because Blaine finally wasn't there to judge him. He looked at all the fish swimming along and then his eyes drifted to another bigger fish who was circling "Quinn" fish.

"Hey, meanie, get away from my Quinn!" he shouted and before he could reach his hand in the tank, the big fish ate Quinn.

"What the hell?! That's never happened before. What does this mean?! God, I wish Nana was here." Puck said.

He watched the bigger fish move on to go float in the other corner of the tank.

"Well, Fuck." Puck said and walked into his room.

Rachel walked in as the door slammed from Puck's room, she sat down and looked at the fish tank.

"You little fish have it so easy, you know?" she said and Finn walked through the door.

"Your shift is over?" Rachel asked.

"Yeah... This fish tank is ridiculous." Finn said.

"I know."

"Rachel, when you were on drugs yesterday, you kind of took advantage of me." he said.

"What are you talking about, Finn?" she asked confused.

"You said you wanted to have sex with me." he said there was an awkward silence.

"Do you want to have sex with me?" he asked.

"Yes." she breathed.

"I just got so attracted at you being all ambitious, like me. But then I got really jealous when I found out you were trying to seduce your boss. I just was so attracted to you wanting to be good at your job" she cried.

"So, you're a gold digger then? You only want me if I'm getting more money?" he asked.

"Finn! I am not a gold digger!" she yelled at him.

"Then prove it, Rachel Berry." he said and smirked.

"Take off your clothes." she demanded.

He started to take his shirt off but she couldn't take it anymore so she ran over to him and pushed him on the table to remove his clothing.

"Gold digger." he muttered between angry kisses.

"Not. A. ." she said and they started making out aggressively, so aggressively that Finn pushed her into the Fish tank and they both fell to the floor and the fish tank shattered into a million pieces.

"Finn!" she screamed.

"Shhhh." he picked her up off the floor, with her wearing nothing put a bra and her plaid skirt and him in boxers and walked her to his room.

"You still want to do this?" he asked.

She looked right into his eyes, "I want nothing more than this moment."

III

Puck heard a shatter and ran outside into the darkness, he flipped the light on and revealed 15 dead fish, two shirts, a pair of pants, and a whole lot of water. He put his head in his hands.

"WHAT THE FUCK DOES THIS MEAN, GODDAMMIT NANA!"

There you have it! I hope you laughed and were frustrated at the sexual tension and youre happy that things are finally happening for Finchel!

Maybe even Quick too! ;)

Love you all soooo much.

Leave suggestions, you know I love em.
