Dedicated to the lovely jarleyismyOTP, hope you like it! And be sure to check out my most recent one-shot, Marley Rose and The Sex Sharks, which was posted a couple days ago. I haven't gotten as much response to it as I would have liked. Anyways, this is a pretty cute little drabble that's kind of AU-ish (a lot of things are changed), so enjoy :)


Jake looked down at his ringing phone during his lunch period one afternoon, his older brother Puck's name lighting up the tiny screen. Jake knew that Puck was probably only calling to borrow some money, or to go drink some beers with him, so he hesitated to answer. However, Puck was his only brother, and Jake barely spent any time with him since they first met only three months ago, so he decided to pick up the phone.

"Puck?" Jake answered.

"Hey dude," Puck responded. "Are you busy tomorrow evening?"

"Um, no. Why?"

"Do you want to come with me and Quinn on a date tomorrow? You've got a girlfriend, right?"

Jake blushed, thinking about Marley, who he had just started dating only a week ago. "Yeah, man, I have a girlfriend. So like a double date?"

"Yeah. Breadstix. 8 o'clock."

Jake nodded, but then remembered that Puck obviously couldn't see him. "Yeah, sounds great. See you then." He snapped his phone shut and ran down the halls to search for Marley.


Marley was in the middle of practicing for Sectionals in the choir room with Tina and Blaine when Jake ran into the room. Marley's breath hitched at the sight of him; she still wasn't used to actually having Jake as a boyfriend. "Hey," she greeted, giving him a small hug. "What's up?"

"So my brother Puck called just now, asking if you and I want to go on a double date with him and his girlfriend Quinn," Jake said as he pulled her to the side.

"Yeah, I'd love to." Marley grinned. "I've heard so many things about Quinn from people at this school, so it would be nice to finally meet her."

"Okay, good. I'll pick you up at 7:30 tomorrow to meet them at Breadstix."

"Is Breadstix the only restaurant in Lima?" Marley asked. "It's, like, the only place anyone goes around here."

Jake chuckled. "Eh, who knows. The breadsticks aren't even that great there, to be honest."

"I know!" Marley laughed. "I should probably get back to practicing." She quickly glanced at Tina and Blaine, who were patiently waiting for her. "I'll see you later."

"Okay." Jake kissed her cheek. "See you later."

Marley giggled to herself after Jake left and went back to join her friends.

"So what was that all about?" Tina asked.

"Oh, Jake just asked me if I wanted to go on a double date with him and Quinn and Puck."

"Quinn and Puck are back together?" Blaine asked.

"Yeah, I guess so." Marley shrugged.

"Well they did have a baby together," Tina pointed out.

"See you guys later," Marley said when the bell started to ring for their next class.

"See you," Blaine and Tina said simultaneously.


"I'm actually kind of nervous. I've never been on a double date before," Marley said as she and Jake walked into the restaurant.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine." Jake brought Marley's hand to his lips and kissed it. Marley didn't think she could ever get used to that. "Look, there they are." Jake pointed to where the blonde girl and the guy with the mohawk were sitting.

Puck turned around and spotted Jake and Marley walking towards them. "Sup bro. Glad you could come. You must be Marley."

"Hi," Marley said nervously, shaking his hand. "Wow, you're Quinn Fabray," she marveled when she shook the blonde's hand. "You're like a legend at McKinley."

"It's good to know that people still look up to me even after everything I've been through." Quinn smiled. "It's nice to meet you."

"So how's your screenwriting going?" Jake asked Puck.

"It's going good. I'm actually thinking of moving to LA to like meet with some professionals and stuff."

"But I think he should go to college," Quinn cut in.

"Nah, school's for suckers, Puck said, but then noticed Quinn's sour expression. "E-Except you," he quickly added.

"Nice save." Quinn rolled her eyes.


A couple minutes after the four of them finished their dinner, Puck started to look very nervous.

"Are you okay?" Marley asked in concern when she saw her boyfriend's brother starting to sweat.

"Um, there's, uh, something I want to say," Puck said, his hands starting to shake.

"What is it?" Quinn said.

"Look, Quinn," Puck started, "I know that we haven't had the best of luck with dating and all that stuff, and even though you yell at me a lot and I annoy you like crazy sometimes, I love you, and you make me really happy, and, um, I wanted to ask, Quinn, will you marry me?" Puck said, all in one breath.

Quinn sat there like a statue. "W-What?" She finally said.

Puck got out a ring from his jacket pocket and kneeled down on the ground. "Quinn Fabray, will you marry me?"

Marley could see tears forming in Quinn's green eyes as she stood up and covered her mouth with her hands. "Y-Yes," she whispered.

"Yes?" Puck asked, making sure he heard her right.

"Yes, I will marry you!" Quinn flew into Puck's arms. Puck spun her around and the whole restaurant cheered.

Marley felt her eyes tear up as well. "Oh my gosh." She grabbed Jake's hand and squeezed it. "How romantic."

Jake grinned. He was so happy for his brother. He knew that he and Quinn had a rocky past, so it was pretty awesome to see them this happy. He quickly glanced at Marley. He couldn't help but think that in a few years, this could be them. Even though he and Marley hadn't been dating that long yet, he knew in his heart that she was the one.

(And five years later, the four of them sat in the exact same table, where it was Jake's turn to propose. And Marley, of course, had said yes.)
