(Past)
''Alright Puck, let's start this shit!'' Brittany exclaims as she walks into the library, she smiles sheepishly as the librarian turns to her glaring and holds up her hands. ''Shit sorry.'' She stage whispers.
Puck burst out laughing shaking his head and kicks the chair beside him out for her to sit in. ''Library means being quiet B.''
''Ugh that woman can blow me.'' Brittany grumbles as she feels the heated glare from the librarian still on her, she takes out her books and turns to look at him. ''What subject first?''
Puck shrugs his shoulders and groans. ''I don't want to study.''
''Too fucking bad, what is your first exam?''
''History.'' Puck grumbles softly, he rolls his eyes as she grabs her history book and shakes his head. ''Really B, I don't understand why I need to learn I will fuck this up.''
''If you continue like this I will kick your ass Noah, grab your damn book and open it.'' Brittany tells him with a glare, she rolls her eyes as he still refuses and leans over him grabbing his bag. She fishes his history book out of it and slams it on the table, she turns to the librarian and shoots her a glare. ''If you complain once again, you can gladly take my seat and help this stubborn asshat to study!''
''Thought so.'' She continues as she wisely shuts up, she turns back to Puck and sighs tapping his book. ''Seriously Puck exams are next week and you asked me to help you study, so please work with me and not against me!''
Puck grumbles flipping through his book and sighs. ''Yeah that was my mistake I forgot that I am a nothing.''
Brittany bites her lip knowing she can't yell at him and just taps his book. ''Study now, I will kick your ass later.'' She warns him, she flips through her own book stopping at the subject the teacher told them that will be most of the exam and reads through the questions.
She scribbles down a few questions and slides the paper over to Puck, she holds up her hand as he opens his mouth to protest and shakes her head. ''Don't complain and just answer this shit, seriously Santana already annoys me sometimes because she gives up too easily but you top that.''
She leans back in her seat grabbing her English book to read through as long as he answers the questions, she slides her eyes over to him as she hears him groan and raises an eyebrow. ''Where are you stuck at Noah?'' She asks softly.
''Last question.'' Puck grumbles softly dropping his head. ''What the hell means blitz?''
Brittany throws him a wry smile and shrugs. ''What does fly mean during a game?''
''Be fast and surprise the other team.'' Puck replies immediately, he tilts his head in confusion and turns to look at her. ''What the hell has that to do with this?'' He asks mentioning his hand to the paper laying in front of him.
Brittany just raises an eyebrow and sighs. ''What do you expect from me when you call out the fly route?''
''That you are quick and that your speed throws our opponent get thrown off of their game because you surprise them.'' Puck replies still frowning in confusion. ''Your speed is so overwhelming that many opponents freeze and just watch you sprint.''
Brittany chuckles leaning back in her seat and locks eyes with him. ''You just answered the question yourself Noah.''
''Blitz means quick?'' Puck asks tilting his head, Brittany slowly nods her head and sighs.
''Yeah it does, more specifically it means surprise and quick with overwhelming force.'' She watches him write it down and takes the paper as soon as he holds it out, she skims through his answers stopping at the third one and bites her lip. ''Puck?''
''Yes?'' He asks raising an eyebrow, she places the paper on the table and taps the question.
''Your answer to this question is correct but it's a trick question, all answers are correct noted above are correct.''
Puck reads it and slowly nods his head. ''Any tips how to answer multiple choice questions? How does one know if one or more answers are the correct answer?''
''Read the question more than once and concentrate on the wording, try to eliminate the wrong answers first and if there is an option with all or none of the above it doesn't always mean that all are right it's more like two out of four are the correct answer you just have to read it slowly and think a bit longer. Multiple choice questions are fucked up but teachers love to use them, if you are not sure just select one it will still give you a point and listen to your gut.''
She closes his book as he nods his head and sighs. ''What's next?''
Puck rolls his eyes and scoffs. ''Biology.''
Brittany laughs and shakes her head. ''Oh fuck you are just like San, I had to hear her whine about that all night.''
''It fucking sucks.'' Puck grumbles softly, Brittany shakes her head and snickers.
''No it isn't, you just got to read.'' She turns to look at the time and sighs. ''Free period is almost over and glee will start, answer two questions and we will quit for today alright?''
She skims through her own book and tilts her head glancing at him. ''Which of the following molecules is a carbohydrate?'' She asks showing him the four options, Puck's eyes widen looking at the question and frowns.
''I don't know, insulin?''
Brittany shakes her head and taps the right answer. ''Lactose Noah, anything ending with the suffix -ose is a sugar and sugar is a carbohydrate.''
''Did you just answer that without reading it out of the book?'' Puck asks shocked, Brittany turns to look at him and rolls her eyes.
''Told you I love biology, alright next.'' She flips to the next page and leans back so he can't read the question, she looks over the book locking eyes with him and sighs. ''Last question.'' She reassures as he grumbles. ''What does DNA stand for?''
Puck straightens up tilting his head as he thinks and snaps his finger. ''I knew that one!'' He exclaims. ''Gimme a sec.'' He continues ignoring the librarian shushing him.
Brittany hums closing her book and shoves it in her bag, Puck clears his throat frowning in concentration and gulps. ''Um isn't that a thingy that a parent passes to their child?''
''Almost.'' Brittany replies smiling. ''DNA is genetic information that every parent passes on to their biological children, damn close tho Noah I am proud of you.'' She slowly stands up shouldering her bag and shoots him a smirk as he stands up after packing his bag. ''Now I will give you a head start, you got ten seconds to get as far away from me before I chase you and kick your ass for exclaiming that you are a nobody!''
She snickers as his eyes widen and watches him immediately sprint out of the library with a squeak, she shoots the librarian a glare as she opens her mouth to complain once again and slowly counts to ten in her head. She unzips her leather jacket taking off in a sprint as she reaches ten and bursts out of the library, she immediately takes a right turn dodging a few other students and sees Puck sprinting down the hallway. ''Run!'' She warns.
She snickers as he squeaks loudly and speeds up as she sees run around the corner bursting into the choir room, she slides after him almost bumping into another student and sprints into the room looking around.
''Babe, girls duck.'' She warns as she sees Puck hiding behind his girlfriend, she sprints over to the piano easily jumping on top of it and jumps over her girlfriend landing right in front of Marley.
''What the hell is going on?'' Heather asks her sister in confusion as she hears Puck let out a girly squeal, Brittany bites her lip hearing everyone else burst out laughing and Puck's squeal and grabs the back of his shirt pulling him back with force as he tries to sprint away again.
''Why don't you ask this clown?''
Puck raises his hands in surrender and tries to smile innocently. ''I didn't do anything.''
''You didn't?'' Brittany asks frowning, she sweeps his feet out from under his body leaning down as he falls down with a yelp and grabs both of his hand pinning them down on his back. ''So you didn't just exclaim that you are a nobody?'' She asks again.
Santana sucks in her lips watching the disappointment on her girlfriends face and looks down at Puck shaking her head as he begs for help. ''Nope the two of you can clear this alone, we aren't jumping between you and B.''
Puck grumbles dropping his head and sighs. ''Can't say I am not correct B, I am a nothing ask my fucking mother.'' He exclaims turning serious again, Brittany stands back up letting go of him and crouches down beside his head forcing him to look at her.
''You gotta stop letting that fucking bitch into your head Noah! You will graduate like all of us!''
''Will I?'' Puck asks as he pushes himself up not noticing everyone quieting down the second they hear the seriousness and sadness in his voice. ''Because I really don't believe in myself and not only because of her Brittany, I am not as smart as all of you and I can be lucky that a college takes me for me playing football but on the educational part of school I fuck up that is all I can!''
He holds up his hand slowly standing up as she opens her mouth to reply and shakes his head. ''No need to try to soften the blow Britt, seriously we both know that no matter how hard I will study I will still fuck this shit up like everything in my god damn life!''
Brittany sighs crossing her arms in front of her chest and leans back against the piano watching everyone else sit down in their original seats watching them. ''You fucked everything up in your life?'' She asks.
''Yes! Tell me one thing I didn't fuck up!'' Puck exclaims throwing his hands in the air, Brittany calmly locks eyes with him and sighs.
''I can give you three.'' She replies.
''You can? Please enlighten me because I can think of none!'' Puck states shrugging as tears fill his eyes, Brittany slowly pushes herself away from the piano and reaches out turning him around mentioning her hand at their friends shooting her girlfriend a sad smile.
''Your friendship with all of them.'' She tells him, she points her finger at Marley and looks up at him. ''Your relationship, see the hurt in Marley's eyes? That is because she loves you Noah! It hurts her to see you in pain and you didn't fuck that up even though that was what scared you the most ever since the both of you started dating!''
She cups his cheek turning his head and locks eyes with him. ''The last thing you never fucked up was leading our team, YOUR team to championship state!'' She shakes her head as he opens his mouth to reply and holds up her hand. ''Nope shut up and listen.'' She tells him.
''I would describe you as many things but never as a nothing, you are my best friend Noah and in this huge group full of friends you are the one beside my girlfriend, sister and future sister in law I would run to when I need someone. You know things from me that nobody else knows and you are the one I allow to catch me when things get too much.'' She locks eyes with him and gulps. ''Who was the person that caught me the second he came back into our lives?''
''Me.'' Puck murmurs softly.
''Who is the person I turn to whenever I have a fight with Santana?''
''Me.'' Puck replies again.
''And who has my back whenever shit is about to hit the fan?''
''Me.'' Puck murmurs his voice cracking as silent tears stream down his cheek.
''Exactly!'' Brittany tells him running a hand through her hair. ''You are not a nobody Noah! You are my best friend, my brother and a part of my family! I will be damned to watch you talk yourself down! We will make sure you will graduate and will make sure that you will show everyone that has his doubts that he was wrong! You will make it in life even if it means that I have to pull all nighters to help you fucking study!''
She reaches up pulling him into a tight hug as he sniffles and kisses his cheek. ''You are joining us wherever we go to go to college, I am not about to leave my best friend behind without you college and a new city will only be half as fun. You are graduating even if that means that I lack on my own grades.'' She tells him with finality.
Puck sniffles tightly wrapping his arms around her waist and buries his face in her shoulder. ''Fuck Britt.'' He croaks out.
''Don't Britt, me.'' Brittany replies, she pulls back locking eyes with him tears clear in her own eyes and sighs. ''Best friends are hard to find but I already found mine and I know our relationship will only strengthen and twenty years from now we will be just as crazy but hopefully a bit more adult, I don't leave people I love behind Noah and you are one of those!''
Santana pulls Marley in a hug as she hears her sniffle and kisses her cheek feeling Quinn, Heather and Naya join their hug. ''Same goes for you Marls, we don't care who of the group joins us as long as you, Cedes and Sam are there in the same city with us.'' She murmurs so nobody else hear her.
''Their friendship will really hold a lifetime.'' Marley murmurs watching her boyfriend cry in Brittany's arms, she kisses Santana's cheek as she sees Brittany wipe away her own and forces a small smile. ''Never knew that Britt had so many words in her, I think I never heard her talk so much.''
''She only does when she is being serious and passionate about something, hearing Puck doubt himself hit her.'' Heather explains shrugging, Santana nods her head in agreement and chuckles.
''Yeah she only talks so much whenever she talks about something or someone she loves, I have many, many voice memos and letters from her telling me why she loves me and such. Whenever we have a fight she makes sure that even though I try to ignore her that I know how much she loves me and that no fight will change that, we are both stubborn as fuck but she is the one who never allows us to separate without telling each other I love you.''
''Brittany hates hard but loves harder, Kitty gradually fucked up and will never experience the Brittany we do and when one of us fuck up we know that we will never go back to the friendship we once had. Kurt is the best example here, the way he left our group didn't make her hate him but she will never let him in like she did before.'' Naya continues sighing softly as she watches the best friends standing in the middle of the choir room.
Brittany pulls out of the hug not knowing everyone is silently talking about them and looks at Puck. ''All good?''
Puck nods his head wiping away his tears and sniffles. ''Yeah, definitely needed that. Love you Britt.''
''I know, love you too Noah.''
