Hope you enjoy!
Quinn that night was on her laptop looking at all sorts of songs, finding one for her and Sam was hard, considering they had just met and she was still getting over the awkwardness over their almost-kiss. But finding one for her and Puck was impossible, so many things they could sing, but all of them would feel to intimate to sing in front of everyone, she was considering sending him some John Mayer, since she knew that a lot of his songs were good to duet on, but as she was about to copy the link she good an email from Puck.
I saw this when me and Rachel were thinking of duet songs, thought of our relationship, or what our relationship was at one point. Let me know what you think.
Quinn clicked the link and listened to the song, it described them perfectly, she thought back to last year when they were sneaking around behind Finn and Santanas back.
Quinn replied to Puck.
Sounds perfect, meet me at my house tomorrow to practice?
Pucks reply was instant:
I'll be there.
Puck showed up at Quinn's house the next day with his guitar, wearing the same shirt that he wore when he sang her Beth, Quinn noticed this but didn't say anything.
"Were's your mom?" Puck asks as he eneters the house, "Only your car is in the driveway."
"She's out, its just us." Quinn stated as Puck smirked and raised an eyebrow at her.
"Okay, and weres your boyfriend?" Puck joked, "he isnt going to be chaperoning us?" He chuckled to himself as he looks around her house, he had never been in there before besides 'the night'.
"No, he's mad at me," Quinn said quietly. " He's mad that I'm still going to do the duet with you."
Puck raised his eyebrows and replied, "Well consider it like this, if I hadn't gone to juvie then I would not have let him duet with you, so your all mine now." Puck winked at her.
"I guess so, but Sam is good to me and I don't want him to be mad at me." She looks down ashamed.
"I'm sorry," Puck took a step closer to her as Quinn looked up at him, "I'm sorry that I told you to stop supersizing it, I'm sorry I sexted Santana. I'm sorry I made your life hard last year, I mean, i got off easy but you gave up so much; your home, your friends, your family, your body. So I'm sorry that in general I was a shit boyfriend to you and if i had to do it all again I would treat you right."
Puck had no idea why he was saying this out of the blue but he needed to get it off of his chest.
Quinn replied so quietly that Puck almost didn't hear her, "I'm sorry I made you lie to Finn and ruined your relationship with your best friend."
"How different do you think our lives would be if Sam never existed?" Puck mused thinking out loud, regretting what conversation they were charting into.
"Well," Quinn began, "I would be single right now, you would still be hooking up with girls and glee club would be two members short."
"We wouldn't be dating?"
"No." Quinn replies firmly.
"Why not?" Puck's voice grows irritated.
"Because we just wouldn't." Quinn paused before continuing. "Let's just stop talking about this, Sam is real and he is my boyfriend as I am his girlfriend."
Puck looked directly into her eyes and blurted out suddenly, "If you were my girlfriend then I would never get mad at you for anything, I swear."
Quinn took a step back from him. But Puck continued.
"Look babe, I know that you wanted to find yourself and that you wanted to be independant, but how do you think i felt after I got back and you were with fishlips?" Quinn didn't saw anything so Puck continued, "He doesn't feel the way I do about you," he paused but there was no wimping out now.
Puck took a step closer to her, placed his hands on her hips and looked right into her eyes as she looked back into his.
"I know if we were going out it would be hard, really hard, I want sex and you want stabililty, but I meant what I said at the hospital, and the night we did it, you are so different then all of the other girls here, anywere. You were never just another hookup, you were actually the first virgin I was ever with..." Puck trailed off looking at Quinn, she was biting the corner of her lip. Puck noticed her eyes went from his eyes, trailed down to his lips then back up to his eyes.
Puck took that as his cue and leaned in closer to Quinn until their foreheads were touching and he started to lean in to kiss her, Quinn didn't object or move, just looked back into his warm eyes with caution. Puck looked back one more time, she knew what he was doing and he knew she was going to kiss him back.
They both jumped apart at the sound of the doorbell. Quinn had a panicked look on her face but smoothed her hair as she went to answer it.
It was Sam, carrying a dozen roses and an apologetic look, Sam didn't see Puck standing off to the side so he stepped in.
Sam took a deep breath as Quinn looked at him expectantly, "Quinn, I am so sorry that I got mad at you, it was wrong and stupid, I completely trust you, it's just Puck I don't trust, he ruined your and finns relationship last year, and now ruined Finns and Rachels. I love what we have going way to much to let him do that."
Quinn said calmy, "Thank you Sam, the flowers are lovely." She smiled at him but the smile faltered, "But don't judge Puck, he didn't ruin my relationship with Finn last year, I did." Quinn looked unashamed into Sams eyes.
Puck was shocked that Quinn had defended him, he had never heard her do that, ever. In front of her boyfriend no less.
Quinn cleared her throat as she continued, "Anyways thank you for the flowers, I'm expecting Puck soon to work on our duet," Quinn lied quickly.
"Oh," said Sam looking disapointed, "Yeah, I have to go to Rachel's house too, I'll text you later though," Sam kissed Quinn quickly before leaving.
As soon as Sam was out the door Puck came up behind Quinn, she was still holding the roses and turned to face Puck. She opened her mouth to speak, but Puck was quicker and said quietly.
"Thank you for defending me," He looked down.
"I didn't defend you, I told Sam the truth about Finn and I, wasn't your fault really." She said before walking to the kitchen and getting a vase for Sams flowers.
Puck decided to change the subject, "So how to you want to sing the song? We need to have good chemistry if we want to win. I have an idea, but only if your up for it."
Quinn turned to him slowly and asked, "Well what is it?"
Puck tried to explain it as best he could, "Well, it's a song about a relationship thats hard, but there is obviously a lot of love there. So my suggestion is that we don't look at the audience, only at each other, that way they won't be distracted by the movements, only our chemistry and our voices."
Quinn paused for a moment then asked, "Do we really have that much chemistry?"
Pucks reply was quick and certain, "Yes, I honestly think that we do, it just felt so...natural last year, being with you, that has to convey into singing."
Quinn smiled thinking back then looked up at Puck, "Okay, let's do this."
So for the rest of the afternoon Quinn and Puck practised their duet. Puck was right, they both felt the emotion as they sang as stared into the others eyes.
Sam was pacing back and forth in Rachel's living room, lips pursed and brow wrinkled.
"So tell me how Puck acted towards Quinn last year?" He asked impatiently.
Rachel rolled her eyes, "That's last year Sam, I'm sure she's moved on."
"Yeah, but I'm positive he hasn't." Sam argued.
"If I tell you how he acted will you just work on the duet with me?" The diva was growing annoyed on his behaviour.
"Yes, I swear." Sam said as he looked up at her.
"Okay," she began, "Last year when Puck and I dated then brokeup I suspected taht he had been liking Quinn for quite a while, he joined glee club right when he found out she was pregnant, I used to catch him looking at her whenever he thought no one was noticing. After her and Finn broke up she lived with him for a while..."
"She lived with him!" Sam cut her off, eyes bulging at the recent information.
"Let me finish," Rachel was starting to get annoyed, "Yes she did, I think they shared a bed but i don't think she slept with him, she dumped him because she knew he wasn't faithful to her. Puck was okay with this at first but i think at this point he realized that Quinn was different, so he sang her Beth, which was a heart touching performence and asked to be present at her birth. And then, after Beth was born I heard from Mercedes that quinn asked Puck if he loved her and Puck said he did, especially then."
Sam swalled, he never knew that quinn and Puck lived together, or that Puck loved her. This information did not calm him down at all.
"so can we practice our duet now please?" Rachel's voice snapped him out of his thoughts.
"Yeah sure," Sam replied.
So they practised their duet, it was slightly awkward but they managed. In return Sam told Rachel what Finn has ever said revolving her. Sam could tell that Rachel was still hung up on him, but his mind was far away, images of quinn sleeping in a bed with Puck had filled his mind. Sam scowled for the rest of the day.
The next day at glee club, when Mr. Shuester asked for volunteers Puck and Quinn were the first to raise their hands. They made there way up to the front of the room, turned so that they were squarly facing each other, standing a little closer then normal and Puck lightly started to pluck the guitar he started to sing:
I'm gonna wear you down
I'm gonna make you see
I'm gonna get to you
You're gonna give into me
Puck smiled lightly as he continued, he rarely got a chance to sing a song this deep.
I'm gonna start a fire
You're gonna feel the heat
I'm gonna burn for you
You're gonna melt for me
Puck smiled lightly at Quinn who returned his smile. She joined him in singing. Both their bodies moving lightly to the music, they were both oblivious to their audience, both looking into each other's eyes, sending a million messages through their eye contact.
Come on, come on
Into my arms
Come on, come on
Give into me
Quinn continued singing, the song was really a good match for her voice.
You're gonna take my hand
Whisper the sweetest words
Puck let go of the guitar and grabbed her hand in his placing a kiss on it, quickly darting his tongue out and lightly tracing a circle on her hand with the tip of his tongue. Quinn raised an eyebrow and him but didn't move her hand away. Puck placed another kiss on her hand before moving it so it was on his shoulder as she continued singing.
And if you're ever sad
I'll make you laugh
I'll chase the hurt
Puck joined in singing, resuming to pluck the guitar.
My heart is set on you
I don't want no one else
And if you don't want me
I guess I'll be all by myself
That was probably their best part, Quinn sang it whole heartily, looking at this new side of Puck as he sang.
Come on, come on
Into my arms
Come on, come on
Give into me
quinn then moved her hand on Pucks shoulder to stroke his cheek, feeling the light stubble and liking the way it grazed her fingers lightly as she continued to sing .
I'll use my eyes to draw you in
Until I'm under your skin
I'll use my lips, I'll use my arms
Come on, come on, come on
Give into me
Puck slung the guitar aroung his back, grabbing Quinn's hips while she put both her hands now on his shoulders which closed any space between them. Puck rested his forehead against hers and they both sang the last part togther.
Give into me
Give into me
Their voices faded out quietly, as the rest of the glee club looked on. The glee club felt awkward, as if they witnessed somehting to personal to be seen in public but Mr. Shue started to clap loudly.
"Wow guys, that was...amazing, I wasn't sure at first, not that much movement but chemistry wise, fantastic." He paused before continuing. "That was so...intamqite, I've never seen a performence that heartfelt before." He rambled on as Puck and Quinn took their seats, Quinn sat beside Puck, instead of her seat before which was next to Sam.
Puck turned around to look at the poor bastard, he should have felt bad for him. The guy had to watch his girlfriend sing an 'intimate' duet with her ex boyfriend, but Puck could not wipe the smile off his face.
Mr. Shuester turned around to face the club. He asked, "Okay, so who wants to go next?"
No one in the club raised thier hand, they would never admit it but they all knew that they couldn't top that performence. They were not even close.
So, hope you liked it! The song is 'Give In To Me' by Leighton Meester and Garrett Hedlund. Its from the movie Country Strong (amazing movie, just saying).
So...review and let me know what you think annnd have a good day :)
