Rachel and Puck were laying on the picnic blanket by the lake, looking up at the stars. Puck had a small campfire going, and Rachel was cuddling against him. He kissed the top of her head, and began to sit up.
"Rachel, baby, I have a gift for you. You've been the best thing in my life, since like, ever, and I've been trying to find a way to show you that. And so I decided to write you a song, because music is, well, you know. So if you could just hold on until after I sing this to say anything, because this is extremely nerve-wracking, and I've got something I have to say when I'm done." Rachel simply nodded as he grabbed his guitar. He began to softly strum, and then he started to sing.
There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray.
Ooh,
The more I get of you,
The stranger it feels, yeah.
And now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the gray.
There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain,
My power, my pleasure, my pain, baby
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny.
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby?
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray.
Ooh, the more I get of you
The stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the gray,
I've been kissed by a rose on the gray,
I've been kissed by a rose
I've been kissed by a rose on the gray,
...And if I should fall along the way
I've been kissed by a rose
...been kissed by a rose on the gray.
There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain
My power, my pleasure, my pain.
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny, yeah
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray.
Ooh, the more I get of you
The stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the gray.
Yes I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray
Ooh, the more I get of you
The stranger it feels, yeah
And now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the gray
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the gray.
When he stopped, Rachel had tears rolling down her cheeks, but she remembered his request and remained silent. He knelt in front of her, taking her face softly between his hands and he pressed a kiss to her forehead.
"Rachel Anisa Berry, I love you more than life. I can't imagine ever being apart from you, and I don't want to. I want to be able to go to bed every morning with you in my arms, and wake up the same way. I want us to have children together. I want us to grow old, and fall in love with each other every single day. Rachel, my life and my love, I want you to be my wife. Marry me, baby?"
"Oh, Noah! Yes! One thousand times yes! I love you so much, and that was the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me. I want all of those things, and I want them to be with you. Noah Abraham Puckerman, and Rachel Anisa Puckerman. I love you, Noah. I love you."
Puck gathered her up into a huge hug and pulled her back down onto the blanket. He settled down on top of her, pressing his hips into hers and began to kiss her passionately. His tongue teased her lips open before plunging into her mouth. Their tongues danced together, twisting and colliding, fighting for dominance. He broke away and began to kiss down her neck, biting and licking and sucking. She was arching against him, grinding her hips into his hard member. Before he lost control, he pulled away and rolled off of her, laying on his back. His hand found hers and he gently squeezed it.
"Oh, yeah, Rachel. I forgot something."
"What?"
"Hold on." Puck fumbled around in his pocket before pulling out the ring box. He slid the engagement ring onto her finger. It was a white gold band with a woven design. The center stone was a dark emerald, with two diamond on either side. She couldn't see it in the dark, but the Hebrew symbol for "love" was engraved on the inside. The wedding ring he had already ordered matched the woven design, but along the inside, was written in Hebrew, "I've been kissed by a rose on the gray." He knew she would like it, and hopefully, they would be married very soon.
