Love Makes You Do the Wacky

(RATED M; Q/P/R/F, P/R)

CHAPTER XV- Confession

Finn felt guilt corse through his veins at seeing Rachel so sad, and when he saw her so happy in the arms of… Noah Puckerman, he felt the guilt intensify ten-fold. When Mr. Schue excused the group he told Quinn he would meet her by his car, he just had to pee, and ran out the door to follow the couple. He found them not far down the hallway, making-out. Of course.

Before Puck could reach his hand up to grasp Rachel's left breast, there was a pointed grunt of a throat being cleared. Puck was expecting a teacher, but was surprised to see Finn.

"Hey, guys," he pretty much squeaked out.

"Hello, Finn," Rachel said, wiping her lips of any smudged lip gloss and turning her head to the side.

"What'do you want, Hudson?" Puck grunted out.

"To apologize." The couple was confused by this. Finn continued on. "I've been acting like a real dick lately, and I'm sorry." He paused for their reaction, but they were silent. So he went on, "I paid Karofsky five bucks to throw that slushie on you."

"You did what?" Puck growled angrily.

Rachel put her hand to his chest to stop him, "Noah," she said in a warning tone, and he backed off. "Finn, please, continue."

"It didn't take much, and even though he tried to haggle me, I told take it or get punched in the gut. He took it. Pussy." Puck nodded in agreement."I guess I did it because I was jealous. Of you two."

"But you have Quinn!"

"I know that, and I really love her, especially with the baby coming and all," Puck shrank back a half inch, but neither of the other two noticed, or said anything if they did, Finn just continued,"but I love you, too, Rachel. All I wanted was to keep you safe. I've been there, through Puck's tail chasing, and I've had to pick him up from the side of the road sometimes. I was just worried that you were just another lay, Rachel. So… I'm sorry."

"I understand," said Rachel as she stepped forward. "You were just protecting me. You were being a friend, though, an over-protective one, but a good one. You know how those girls feel when they get tossed out of Noah's bed, because you've had to witness all of his conquests. I appreciate what you did, though you handled it wrong. Thank you, Finn." She stepped up to him and placed a loving, friendly kiss to his cheek, "Thank you."

Finn smiled a goofy smile, "Thanks for understanding. And I hope you can for give me too, Puck?"

Puck nodded, then gruffly said, "If I were you and you were me, I would have done the same thing to protect Rachel."

"But we're just friends, Finn. Nothing more," Rachel said.

"I can live with that. And Puck's still my best friend…," he paused and looked at Puck in confirmation, "right?" Puck nodded.

Finn walked the couple to Puck's truck and gave Puck a one-armed, bro hug. He lightly kissed Rachel on the top of her shiny, brown hair and jogged over to Quinn who watched the exchange with narrowed eyes.

When Finn jogged over to her, he called out, "Hey, Q! You ready to go?"

Quinn nodded and turned away, but was pulled back by Finn tugging on her wrist. He pulled her into his chest and gave her a deep kiss. "I love you, Quinn," he whispered.

Quinn smiled helplessly and said "I love you, too" back.

They climbed into his car and after letting Puck and Rachel go first and waving at them through the window, they drove off in the chilly afternoon air.
