Okay, so this was written on a Friday night because I didn't have plans and didn't want to leave you guys hanging. Also, this one is very boy/football oriented and doesn't have much to do with relationships. It just shows the male point of view within the Quick-Finchel-Puckleberry-Fuinn love triangle/square. PS- The italicized bold text is as if an announcer was reporting what was happening at the boys' football practice.
"C'mon, Titans! Karofsky that's a sloppy block! " Shannon Bieste shouted from the sidelines. It was almost five, and everyone of the McKinley Titans were dying to finish practice. They'd lost their first game in months and the Bieste was stressing beyond belief about the defensive line. The offensive line, Artie, Puck, Finn, and Sam were all bored because the Bieste had them running near-touchdown plays to make the defense work harder.
"Alright, huddle up!" Finn called to the offensive team. The offense wore their red home jerseys and the defense wore their white away jerseys. A red huddle formed around Finn. "Alright guys, good work" Finn announced as he pulled his mouthguard out from his mouth. "Half-back drive on three, c'mon guys! Let's go! On three!" He called the play, then broke the huddle. Karofsky, Azimio, and the rest of the offensive line settled into their blocking stance in front of Finn. "Hut one!" Finn shouted, eyeing the defense. "Hut two! Hut three! Hike!"
Veteran center, Azimio Adams, snaps the ball to MVP quarterback, Finn Hudson. Hudson drops into the pocket. Oh! He fakes the pass and hands it off to close friend and star half-back, Noah Puckerman. Puckerman's really got a hold on the ball and some quick feet. He dodges linebacker, Anthony Rashad's, tackle. He's at the 20, the 10, the 5...TOUCHDOWN TITANS!
Finn led the team back into the locker room. Finn was the leader of the team, but Puck was the crowd-stirrer. Puck and Finn, the co-captains of the team, stood on a locker room bench together. "Titans, listen up! Tomorrow we play East High and they're undefeated..." Finn trailed off, Puck clapped a hand on his shoulder as if to tell him it was his turn to speak "and we gon' kick some wildcat ass!" Puck shouted over the rowdy boys. Both captains stepped off the bench and headed to their lockers. Finn whistled Metallica's "Enter Sandman" to himself while he removed his jersey, shoulder pads, girdle, and the rest of his equipment.
Puck was already in the shower when Finn walked in. Mike was in the first shower stall and Puck in the second. Finn set down his shampoo and washcloth as he entered the third stall. The way the shower room was set up was a bit awkward because each shower was surrounded by a four-foot wall so that everyone could have privacy but the guys could still talk to each other and see above the waist.
Mike used his shampoo to form a faux-hawk hairdo. Mike reached his arm over the wall and punched Puck in the arm lightly. "Hey look at me!", Mike said in his best 'bad-boy' voice, "I'm Puckerman, Lima badass!" Finn and Mike laughed at his impression and Puck let out a chuckle. "Yo Changsta, you get any yet?" Puck asked in retaliation with a chuckle. "Damn, I wish. You?" "I'm ridin' soloooooo. Besides it's a small town. Every Lima Lady's had a piece by now" Puck joking responded. "God, we're the captains of the football team. How the hell are we single?" Finn commented. The boys finished their showers and walked to their lockers together.
"I might be going out with Lauren Zizes. She's not that hot but she's a total badass. On the other hand, no woman can cage this tiger." Puck said with a smug smile. "You say that now, but I see the way you are around Rachel" Finn replied, with jealousy dripping from each word. Puck wasn't sure he liked Rachel. Well he did, but maybe not like like. Finn too was conflicted. Quinn or Rachel? Quinn was his first love and damn, she was hot. But Rachel, he spent 90% of tenth grade pining for her. "Dude, I totally saw you with Quinn yesterday. What the hell was that? Are you two into each other again?" Mike commented, looking at him peculiarly. Mike was in a perfect relationship so he didn't quite understand all the drama that happened in Puck and Finn's lives. "Eh, I don't know. I like her, and I think she's into me, but what the hell am I gonna do? Crush Rachel to be with a girl who betrayed me or crush Quinn to be with a girl who also betrayed me?" Finn said, shoving his left hand into his pants pocket and closing his locker door with the other. Puck looked down at his feet feeling guilty. "I'm sorry bro", he said putting his hand on Finn's shoulder again. "Hey, you're forgiven. They're not. I get that you seduced them, but they should've known better." Finn replied genuinely. Sure, he was mad at Puck but Finn was the most popular guy in school, quarterback, and male lead. Puck deserved some of the spotlight, right? "I don't even get why Rachel did it", Mike commented. "It's not like she didn't rub that Jesse kid in your face last year." Puck and Finn chuckled. Mike may not be a relationship expert, but he knows what's right, wrong, fair, and unfair.
The next day at lunch, four of the jocks were in detention for cheating on a math exam, so Mike, Sam, Puck, and Finn decided to sit with the New Directions at lunch. The boys were discussing football. "I'm just saying if Mike were to go right and I go left, that creates more pass options" Puck mentioned with a mouthful of Doritos. "It's not my choice dude. The Bieste would tear you guys a new one if you changed her plays..." Finn murmured into his corn dog. Finally fed up with hearing their football talk, Rachel interjected, "So boys! What do you think we should do at Nationals?" "Don't Talk To Strangers by Hedley", Puck joked. "No sexual songs Noah!" Rachel half-squealed at him. "With You?" Artie suggested, grabbing Brittany's hand as he did so and placing a small kiss on her lips. Rachel opened her mouth to speak but before she could, the entire glee club glared at her and shouted "NO STREISAND!"
Then Puck made another suggestion. "Check Yes Juliet?" Puck suggested, then shoved the straw of his Capri-Sun into his mouth upon remembering that that was his and Quinn's song when they dated. "Brown-Eyed Girl by Van Morrison?" Finn said, staring deeply into Rachel's eyes for a moment before realizing Quinn was there. Puck took out his phone and typed out a message to Finn. A few seconds later, Finn checked the text. "jesus fuckin christ. P+Q+R+F = awkward turtle" "Hold up, you guys. Anthem For The Underdog by 12 Stones!" Tina said excitedly. As Tina had begun speaking, Mr. Schuester walked up to the table and had heard her. "Love it, Tina!" He said, putting an approving hand on her shoulder.
Alright, that's all I've got for now! Review please!
