Catching Up

Sabrina's POV

I wrapped my arms around Puck's neck as we flew in comfortable silence; he smelled, like a fresh forest; he was clean, I smiled at the thought. I didn't realize what I had done until it was too late and Puck and I were blushing slightly. It was already too late so I didn't move; I didn't really want to. My place in Puck's arms was comfortable and I realized I was right; Puck had gotten stronger and broader, his shoulders were more spaced and I could feel the beginnings of an eight-pack forming in Puck's abdomen. I blushed some more at my thoughts. No! Why would I be blushing? That didn't make any sense...it was just that Puck has gotten taller, and broader, and stronger, and...NO THERE IS NOTHING ELSE! I inwardly shook my head and scowled at myself; why was my brain torturing me?!

I heard Puck cough and I snapped to attention. I realized we were on the ground, almost in my doorway already...And my arms were still around Puck...And I was staring at him. Brilliant. I squeezed my eyes shut as my feet found the ground once more. I looked at Puck, "Um...thanks for the ride."

He grinned, before scoffing, "Like I would walk! I am Royalty!"

I laughed, and shoved Puck a little; we were finally in a familiar zone again. "Dream on Fairy Boy."

"What do you mean? I am Royalty! Great King of Faerie! The Trickster King!"

I rolled my eyes, "To me and every other Grimm; you're just Puck. Get over it."

His eyes danced with mirth and fake hurt; "You wound me!"

I smiled, "Good."

Puck opened his mouth to retort before a blur of dark hair came barrelling through the door. "PUCK! You're home!" Daphne had now succeeded to tackle Puck into a hug.

Puck laughed, "Hey Marshmallow. I know I'm irresistible, but maybe you should stop crushing me."

Daphne just laughed, "Finally! You guys took forever to come home! Come on, Granny Relda and Mr. Canis and Red are here! It'll just be like the good old days!"

I rolled my eyes, "Except with no war. I prefer just this over this plus war."

Puck grinned and elbowed me, "Don't just a downer, Grimm. Be happy!"

I chuckled, "I am happy."

Puck looked at me; something had changed in his eyes. "Good," he whispered. We both went still for a moment, eyes burning into each other; trying to figure out what the other meant.

But that moment passed, as Daphne dragged us into the living room. "LOOK WHO'S HOME!"

Uncle Jake strolled into the living room, "'Brina!"

I beamed, "Uncle Jake!" I was pulled into a hug, not long after. Uncle Jake had gotten over his addiction to magic after becoming an Everafter. But, he was still pretty weighed down by Briar's death. That really hurt him, and I know that he won't fully get over it, he won't get over his true love. But, time will heal him and he won't be sad every night.

I pulled away from Uncle Jake, "How was travelling?"

Uncle Jake's eyes twinkled, "It was great! We've been waiting for you to come home so we can start telling our stories."

Puck grinned, "Yes, my awesome stories of adventure."

"Don't be so arrogant," I told him.

Puck stuck his tongue out at me, and we playfully bantered as we walked to the family room. In the family room Granny Relda, Mr. Canis, Red, Mom, Dad, and 2 year old Basil were waiting.

Granny Relda jumped out of her seat and pulled Puck into a hug and kissed his cheek; which caused his cheek to be stained bright red. After Puck's blush resided, he shook hands with Mr. Canis and briefly hugged Red; who was now like a sister to him, like Daphne.

When we were all seated, Uncle Jake and Puck started to tell us what happened while they were gone. "The first place we went was Egypt," began Uncle Jake.

Puck jumped in, "We had to get rid of these spirits haunting the tombs."

"He didn't want to do it though-"

"Those spirits pulled pretty good pranks!"

"I eventually convinced him, and"

"I destroyed them all!"

"No you didn't. We simply whisked them away in a magic container."

Puck rolled his eyes, "You ruin all the fun, Jake. Can you imagine how serious he can get?! It's disgusting! After that we ended up in Australia."

"That's a long story. The crocs there were going insane! Some creep was controlling them to hurt people. I think he was distantly related to the Pied Piper or something. Puck had to wrestle one and got a scar."

"Yeah! It's kinda cool; see." Puck lifted up his shirt and my heart stopped. It was stupid really; I've seen Puck shirtless before. But, this time...this time Puck had the beginnings of an eight-pack and was completely toned. I shivered, even though the room seemed to be getting warmer. Puck's scar covered his side; jagged and about 4 inches long, where a croc must have dragged his claw into Puck. It wasn't that deep; but still quite considerable.

"That must have hurt."

Puck looked over at me and shrugged, "We had the magic to heal me quick; not as bad as it could be."

I nodded and tore my eyes away from his body; I didn't think I could look at it anymore without exploding. My face, for some reason, was too red. The room suddenly quietened. I frowned and looked around. Mr. Canis and Uncle Jake were smirking, wile Mom and Granny had knowing smiled on their faces, Dad was scowling, and Daphne and Red were silently giggling. I looked at Puck, who had finally lowered his shirt, confused. He shrugged, lost as much as I am.

I cleared my throat, "So, uh, what else did you do?"

~~~Time Skip~~~

I was in bed already, as I thought about my day. Puck and Jake filled us in about all their adventures; all ranging from the weirdest things. Puck and I went through our usual arguments through dinner and afterwards. Except, they were a lot less heated; and we ended up laughing in the end. It must have been because, Puck was back after a long time. Guaranteed, I'd wake up tomorrow to scream at him. The thought was comforting, for some reason. I sighed; I didn't want to think of Puck and his new...self. I shut my eyes, and drifted into sleep; dreaming of a forest and a tall, muscular boy in the middle of it; calling my name.

A/N: I'm sorry, I know it's been forever since I've updated. But, to be fair I was really busy! There's probably grammar mistakes all over this thing but, I haven't had time to run this past my beta-reader. (PS: She's the wonderful Sabrina Pines!) I promise to update more! At least once a week. So, don't forget to review!
