A/N: Puck vs. Blaine

A/N: So someone brought up a good point in a review that I'd like to explain. Thank you for reminding me to talk about this :)

"I always thought that it would be Puck and Ryan next after Sam"

For me, I think at the moment in this story, Blaine's feelings for Ryan will help add to the story. Whereas with Puck, I don't know if it's the right time, or even if there will be one. Here's my reasoning as to why Puck and Ryan wouldn't work well at this point in the story:

I know Puck tries his best, but in the show, his relationships don't tend to work out too well. I'm trying to keep him true to his character.

Puck is still in a weird place, like last year. He's still trying to figure everything out and find himself. He thought he was straight, then bi, and now after Ryan talked to him he's trying to come to terms with the fact that he may just be gay. He's still trying to accept it all. Last year he had the baby drama (which he refuses to talk about). This year it's drama with his mother, which is why Lauren Zizes is on the scene. He's trying to please his mother while trying to accept being gay, and still hiding it.

Ryan and Puck are on different levels right now. They had their little romantic stint over a year ago. But now they've figured that they're better off as friends, considering nothing has actually really changed with Puck as of yet… But he's getting there.

That being said, I do think Puck will always think "What If?" when it comes to Ryan. And I think Ryan does too. They're a good match. But then again, so are Ryan/Sam, and Ryan/Blaine. They all work well. I will definitely explore this in the future (I don't know when exactly yet). It may be just a talk, or a relationship, who knows :P.

Now to explain my reasoning behind Blaine's feelings:

For one, Blaine and Ryan have been spending a huge amount of time together; with his breakup with Kurt, Ryan's breakup with Sam, they've been seeing a lot more of each other without the rest of the gang.

As most of you will know from the show, Blaine is a hopeless romantic. He really falls hard when he falls for someone. Normally, he's very outspoken when it comes to declaring his feelings for someone, for example, singing at a GAP to Jeremiah, or telling Kurt about his feelings the minute he realizes them. He was going to tell Ryan and ask him on a date, but since Ryan basically shot him down without realising, Blaine never got the chance declare his feelings and so now he doesn't know what to do.

Another thing; Blaine doesn't really seem to be into looks. He is all about personality. In the show, he is of course attracted to Kurt, but he doesn't fall for Kurt straight away; they're friends. But when he sees Kurt's vulnerable side as he sings Blackbird, Blaine falls for him. It's very plausible that Blaine falls for Ryan with the more time they spent together, especially considering how vulnerable they both are at the moment.

So that was a few reasons as to why Puck and Ryan aren't together right now and why Blaine has feelings for Ryan. Hope they make sense! Next chapter will be up by tomorrow at the latest!

Oh, and Sam is still in the picture too, which makes things all the more confusing for Ryan. They're not speaking, so it's almost like a ghost of sorts… Ryan wants to try and move on but he can't fully move on cause Sam is still always there.
