"Friends," he had spoken to her, as they stood alone in the choir room one afternoon, "No, we are not friends. I don't take this shit from friends. Only Lovers."

It was then that Rachel Berry's perfect pink lips crashed onto his.

To understand the moment that was now playing out one must go back to a not too distant past.

Mr. Schuster as at it once again. Deciding to pair the glee club up to do an assignment based on names being pulled out of a hat.

God Puck wanted to burn that cursed hat though he was sure that the Spanish teacher had plenty of back ups just in case of said occasion.

And so he had watched… watched as everyone around him got paired up.

Matt and Mercedes

Kurt and Quinn

Finn and Brittany

Artie and Tina

Looking at who was left he hoped and prayed that the fates would pair him up with Mike Chang as being paired up with one of his teammates would be far less awkward then being paired with his ex or….

"Rachel, your up," Mr. Schu spoke as the self proclaimed diva stood up adjusting her all to short skirt and heading to where the teacher stood with a Cheshire cat grin on her lips. This was until…

"Puck," she spat out in an irritated tone.

That was the beginning of the end for him as in the coming week the two of them seemed to spend every waking moment with one another rehearsing the duet they were to perform for the club.

It was infuriating.

Rachel was infuriating.

She was bossy.

A total control freak.

And the way she always dressed, wanted to be the center of attention, was totally and pathetically crushing on his ex-best friend….

God who was he kidding.

He, Noah Puckerman was in love with that Diva

And this is what had lead them to the choir room on this particular Thursday Afternoon.

"You're being totally unprofessional," Rachel had wined.

"I'm sorry but I'm not singing some sappy show number with you."

"It's show TUNE Noah."

"Whatever… still I'm not doing it… can't we do something more top 40."

She crinkled her mouth as she scratched her head.

'Mama Mia was based on Abba's songbook and she had heard that there was a musical based on Green Day songs coming out… that band was probably more of her partners taste….'

"Well Noah… since we're friends a…"

Thinking back to the conversation they had just before they 'broke up' he couldn't help it but shake his head and laugh.

"Friends, no, we are not friends. I don't take this shit from friends. Only Lovers."

Rolling her eyes Rachel didn't know what was coming over her. Was she taking one for the team or was she doing this out of her own free will as she pulled a loose strain of hair away from her face and leaned over to place her lips on his.

As she pulled back she sheepishly grinned at her companion.

"Lovers Noah, well that can be arranged."
