Hope you like this chapter!
Oh and just a little warning: Prepare your feels for some fluffiness!
It took about a half hour into the lesson for Quinn to fully focus on what was going on.
"Welcome back to Earth." Kurt muttered under his breath when he noticed she was actually taking notes.
"Shut up." Quinn said, smiling shyly.
"You are so obvious." Kurt whispered.
"Shut up!" Quinn repeated her face now red.
"Oh relax honey, we all get a little giddy when we get kissed by our crush." Kurt said, putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Be quiet, she might hear you." Quinn warned.
"Quinn she's on the other side of the god damn classroom, you'd have to have hawk ears to hear me from there." Kurt reassured.
"Let's not count that out as a possibility. That girl never ceases to amaze me." Quinn whispered, glancing over to the back of Rachel's head, then up to the board to copy something the teacher had written down. When she looked back up from her notebook she saw Rachel looking back at her. When their eyes met the brunette lit up in a smile and Quinn automatically smiled back. They held their gaze at each other for about half a minute before Rachel turned back after being tapped on the shoulder by Santana.
"Oh la la, someone's interested in you." Kurt teased.
"She is not, she's just grateful that's all." Quinn dismissed.
"Grateful enough to want to have lunch with you." Kurt said, poking her in her side playfully.
"Stop it!" Quinn squirmed away with a soft giggle. "And it's just lunch!"
"The first of two lunches you and she will be sharing. Let's not forget your study date on Saturday." Kurt reminded.
"It's not studying and it sure as hell isn't a date. We're working on our English assignment." Quinn reminded him.
"Right, right, the 'loooove' theme." Kurt teased again.
"God, just my luck huh?" Quinn said, putting her head in her hands and then running them through her long blonde hair.
"Oh, relax, it'll be fine." Kurt reassured.
Meanwhile at the front of the classroom…
"What's with the smile at Fabray?" Santana asked when Rachel turned back around.
"Oh! I didn't tell you?" Rachel said happily.
"Tell me what?" Santana asked with a raised eye brow. Rachel pulled a paper out of her bag and showed it to the Latina.
"I got an A on my math test!" Rachel said happily.
"Mio Dios! You're kidding me!" Santana said, snatching the paper out of the shorter girl's hand and stared at it in awe. "How the hell did you do this?!"
"I guess it was all thanks to Quinn." Rachel shrugged.
"That dweeb?!" Santana said disgustingly.
"Would you stop it? She's really not that bad." Rachel defended.
"Who are you and what have you done with my best friend?" Santana said, staring at Rachel.
"Come on Santana, how can you say something like that? You haven't even taken the time to get to know her!" Rachel said.
"And I'm not going to! She's a nerd, and her creepy little friend is more of a girl than she is, that's just weird." Santana said, leaning back in her seat.
"Trust you to say something that closed-minded." Rachel huffed, turning back to the board and writing down notes.
"Hey, who are you calling closed-minded?" Santana snapped back.
"I'm just saying, you should get to know people before you judge them." Rachel argued.
"There's only one thing I need to know about those two and that's the fact that they are losers, bottom of the food chain. We're at the top, and don't you dare go compromising your place at the top to play little miss goody goody." Santana challenged.
"You know what? Maybe I will, and maybe I'll help the idiots that go to this school finally learn to stop being douche heads and start respecting one another!" Rachel snapped at her friend. The bell rang and the class started moving out of the classroom. Rachel snatched the paper out of the Latina's hand, grabbed her books and her bag and stormed away from her friends, straight to her locker. Santana followed her and slammed her locker shut.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?" the taller girls snapped.
"Watch your tongue with me Lopez!" Rachel commanded.
"Fuck you I'll speak how I want to!" Santana yelled back.
"Get out of my face!" Rachel demanded.
"You think you can defend that loser? Then fine! You can join them!" Santana yelled, then grabbed a slushy cup out of someone's hand and threw it into the brunette's face. She walked away before Rachel could even open her eyes, tossing the empty cup into a nearby trash can on her way.
Rachel just stood there in shock, the cold drink finally getting to her as she began to shiver. The only thing she could think of at that moment was that this was karma for the million times she had gotten the jocks to slushy Quinn and Kurt. She gulped and couldn't even bring up the strength to move.
"Rachel?" A soft, yet shocked, voice said, penetrating her thoughts. She didn't turn, instead she waited for the speaker to come in front of her. It was Quinn. "Oh my God! Rachel are you okay?"
"I…I…" Rachel stammered, she couldn't bring out any words.
"Come on, let's get you cleaned up, I have some spare clothes you can borrow." Quinn said, grabbing Rachel's hand and leading her into the bathroom while texting Kurt quickly.
"This stuff stings." Rachel said as she began to feel the syrup burn her eyes.
"Yeah, it does." Quinn said with a soft giggle. "Come on let's get it out of your face."
The blonde grabbed a few paper towels, separating them and wetting a few of them. She brought it up to Rachel's face, gently wiping off the cold, sticky liquid.
"Why do you keep helping me?" Rachel muttered.
"I already told you, it's in the past, I don't dwell on the past, I move on." Quinn reminded her, wiping the shorter girl's forehead. They heard the door open gently and Kurt's head popped in.
"Quinn?" he asked, worried, not seeing Rachel as she was blocked by the taller blonde. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine; it's not me that got slushied." Quinn said, turning back to him.
"Who's the poor soul? It's not Tina again is it?" He asked, walking in and up to the two. He saw Rachel there and, well, shocked was an understatement.
"R-Rachel?" He asked. She smiled shyly at him, which slowly disappeared. "A-are you okay sweetheart?"
Rachel looked up at him in shock. She was so rude to this boy, so mean, she had ordered slushies on him for days on end. And now that she was in the same situation, he wasn't crippled over in laughter at her like she had been so many times. He was inquiring if she was okay. Quinn was wiping the sticky syrup off of her face instead of smiling smugly, avenged. She took in a shaky breath and tears began to spill out of her eyes, not because of the stinging sensation in her eyes, but because the love she was feeling from these two was much more than she had ever felt from anyone. Sobs escaped her lips and Quinn pulled her into a tight embrace.
"Shh, it's going to be okay." She whispered comfortingly into her ear. "You're going to be fine sweetheart."
"How can you two be so nice to me? I've been a jerk!" Rachel sobbed into Quinn's chest, enjoying the feeling of being so close to the girl.
"You can't change the past Rachel, you can only choose to dwell on it or move on." Kurt said softly, placing a hand on the shorter girl's shoulder comfortingly.
"I don't deserve all this forgiveness, the only thing I deserve is that slushy Santana threw in my face!" Rachel sobbed again.
"Santana did that? I don't get it, I thought you two were best friends." Quinn said.
"We are, well, we're supposed to be. I don't know, we got into an argument and she got really mad and threw the slushy into my face." Rachel explained, letting out the last few sobs. Quinn rubbed her back soothingly.
"It's okay, she'll cool off, just give her some time." The blonde's soft voice came into her ear in whispers. "come on, let's finish getting you cleaned up, you don't want to be late for class."
Quinn grabbed the dry towels and wiped Rachel's face again, drying it off.
"You're lucky." Kurt hummed. "She didn't seem to get any in your hair, most of it is on your face and clothes."
"The pony tail helps." Quinn muttered. "Keeps the hair out of your face, away from the danger zone."
"There's a danger zone?" Rachel whispered.
"We've been dodging these for a long time, we're kind of experts." Kurt said, giving her a warm smile.
"What Kurt means is, since the slushies are aimed at your face, that's the danger zone, luckily for you Santana seemed more concentrated on danger zone south than danger zone north, that's where the hair gets hit and getting that stuff out of your hair is next to impossible without ruining it." Quinn explained.
"I see." Rachel muttered.
"You'll be okay." Quinn smiled at her.
"I just really need to get out of this uniform. It's sticking to me and I think my skin is having a bad reaction to the syrup." Rachel said, looking down at herself.
"Here's the bag." Kurt said, Handing Quinn a small rucksack. She placed it on the sink counter and pulled out a t-shirt and a pair of jeans. She handed them to Rachel with a smile, who smiled back as she took them and went into one of the stalls to change. She came out a few minutes later and Quinn was stunned. She had her hair down, in all the times she'd seen her Rachel never had her hair down before. She was gorgeous; she didn't think it was possible for anyone to look that amazing in jeans and a t-shirt before but now she was sure if anyone could do it, it was Rachel.
"Umm, I think we have a bit of a problem with the jeans." Rachel said shyly, looking down and brushing a lock of hair behind her ear.
"Huh?" Quinn said, snapping out of her daze. She looked down at the shorter girl's feet and saw that her jeans were too long for her. She couldn't help but giggle. "God you're so short."
"Hey!" Rachel said, smiling up at her.
"I'm kidding…here, I have an idea." Quinn said with another giggle. She kneeled down in front of the brunette and rolled the ends of the jeans legs up. "Rolled up jeans are the really fashionable these days anyway."
"Yeah, I guess so." Rachel said, smiling at the girl who was kneeling in front of her. She shyly took her bottom lip between her teeth and nibbled on it nervously. Quinn came back up to face her, she smiled at her and they were stuck gazing at each other for a minute, taking each other in.
Their gaze broke when Kurt cleared his throat.
"Where's your uniform Rachel?" He asked the brunette, who went back inside the stall quickly and came back out with the stained cheerios uniform in her hands. Quinn took it from her and folded it neatly, putting it in the rucksack. She pulled the strings of the bag, closing it. She grabbed it off the counter and handed it to Rachel.
"Keep it in your locker till the end of the day, then go home and make sure you remember to wash it, I fear for your life if Sue sees the stain." She said quietly as the brunette took the rucksack.
"Thank you so much." Rachel said, looking into Quinn's breath-taking hazel eyes for another minute. "B-both of you."
"It's nothing, friends help each other out." Quinn said with a smile.
"You really think of me as a friend?" Rachel asked, looking down shyly again.
"I do." Quinn said with a nod.
"Yeah, me too." Kurt said to her with a smile. Tears stung the brunette's eyes once again, only this time they weren't from embarrassment or syrup. They came because her heart suddenly swelled full of love for the two people that stood before her, the two people who despite everything, were happy to call her a friend. She swallowed, trying to push down the lump that had formed in her throat. Quinn took a step closer to her and pulled her into another tight hug.
"Come on, it's okay." Quinn whispered into her ear. "You want me to walk you home?"
"No, that's okay." Rachel mumbled. "My attendance needs to be at its best, besides, I promised I'd buy you lunch."
"Rach you don't have to-" Quinn began but was cut off.
"Quinn, if it weren't for you I wouldn't have passed that test, and I would have been a blue sticky mess all day. I owe you more than ever now." Rachel said. Quinn couldn't stop herself from smiling.
"Okay fine but only if you sit with us, I'm not having you sit on your own and I wouldn't feel comfortable with you anywhere close to Santana." Quinn said.
"Deal." Rachel said, chuckling softly into Quinn's chest, still wrapped in the taller girl's incredibly strong arms. She took in a deep breath; it was amazing how safe she felt in Quinn's embrace, no one's hugs ever made her feel this safe, except for maybe her dads. It took her a second to realize that she had, probably out of instinct, wrapped her arms around the blonde's waist.
Quinn closed her eyes for a second and took in the scent of the shorter girl's shampoo and the feeling of her hair brushing against her fingers. She loved it, those little intimate things that you would only be able to notice when there is no space between you and the other person. She swallowed, probably audibly. She found all of this just completely intoxicating. A few seconds later they pulled back.
"So I'll see you at lunch then." Rachel said with a smile, a single tear still apparent on her cheek. Before she could stop herself Quinn reached up and wiped it off with her thumb, which made Rachel's smile grow wider. The blonde nodded at her with a smile and she gathered her book bag and the rucksack and walked out of the bathroom. Quinn gulped again and turned around just in time to see the door swing shut. Kurt looked at her.
"You've got it really, really bad." He said. Quinn just took a deep breath.
"What am I going to do?" she asked.
"I don't know sweetie, but you were right. She's not that bad after all." Kurt admitted, smiling at her. "She's actually really sweet."
"Told you." Quinn said, smiling and looking back at the door, biting her lip.
"Okay, float down back to earth, we have class too remember?" Kurt said, grabbing her hand and pulling her out of the bathroom, shooing her off to the direction of her class, but not before giving her a hug.
"See you at lunch." Quinn said as he pulled back.
"I'll see you; you'll be staring at Rachel." Kurt teased, earning him a playful shove to the shoulder before they walked away from each other and to class.
Quinn walked into her chemistry class, or rather, snuck in while her teacher was dictating notes and looking outside the window. She sat down in her usual seat and while normally the one next to her would be empty, this time someone snuck off next to her as soon as she sat down. She turned, a little startled, and saw Puck sitting next to her with a smile.
"Hey." He said.
"Umm, hi" She said nervously, confused as why the Mo hawked jock would want to talk to her when normally he barely regarded her existence.
"So, I saw you in Glee club, you know, you're really cute." He said.
"Thanks." She replied slowly, now really confused as to where this conversation was going.
"So I was wondering, uh…Quinn…right?" she nodded. "Well, Quinn, I was wondering if you'd like to go out with me some time."
"That's really sweet Noah-"
"Puck." He corrected.
"That's really sweet Puck, but no thanks." She said softly, giving him an apologetic smile.
"Aww, why not? It's not cause I slushied your friend three weeks ago is it? Cause I'm totally sorry and I'll apologize to him too if you want." He offered.
"Well, yeah that did suck of you and yes you should apologize." She said. "But it's not because of that, honest."
"Well then what is it? Cause you seem like a really nice girl and I really would like to get to know you." He said.
"Thing, I'm…umm…not into guys…you know?" Quinn said shyly.
"What you're a…" he turned looking to see if anyone was eavesdropping and lowered his voice. "You're a lesbian?"
"Yes, and thank you for lowering your voice." Quinn said. She didn't realize how fast her heart was racing, this was the first time she'd come out to anyone besides Kurt.
"Hey it's no problem, you know I totally respect that." He said. "In fact, I'm kind of a supporter."
"Really?" Quinn said, confused. "Then why do you pick on Kurt all the time?"
"Pressure from my idiot friends." He mumbled, looking down at the desk and closing his eyes. "I really don't hate the little guy."
"That's really sweet." Quinn said, and then caught herself. "The not hating Kurt part, not the idiot friends pressuring you part."
"Yeah I know what you mean." He nodded. "So he's your best friend huh?"
"Yeah, he's the best." She said with a smile.
"Hey, you think you'd take me to him? Like help me meet him without him hiding from me? I really do want to apologize to him. And I kind of want to be friends with you guys, you seem really cool." He said, smiling up at the blonde.
"Are you serious?" Quinn asked, her smile widening.
"Hell yeah, I'm sick of picking on kids just cause they're different, I want new friends, friends that don't care about me being a badass…you don't care if I'm a badass do you?" he asked nervously.
"definitely not." She said, shaking her head and smiling.
"Sweet, so, what do you say we have lunch together?" he asked. "You, me and Kurt."
"That would be great." She said, then something hit her memory. "Oh but another friend of ours is going to be there, I think you know her, Rachel?"
"Rachel Berry?" he asked, surprised. "You two are friends?"
"We recently became friends, and I helped her out in a math test which she passed, now she insists on buying me lunch to thank me." Quinn explained.
"That is really cool, you helped her pass math?" he asked, impressed.
"It was nothing, I just explained stuff she found complicated." Quinn dismissed.
"So…everything?" Puck said, raising his eyebrows and chuckling.
"Almost? Okay yeah everything, but the important thing is that she passed. She studied a bit on her own too so it wasn't all me." Quinn said.
"That's cool, but, doesn't she usually hang out with Santana and Brittany?" he asked.
"She and Santana had an argument, didn't end so well." Quinn said, taking down the chemical equations which were written down on the board.
"Is that why I saw her walking past the class in normal clothes? I was shocked, I didn't even believe it was her." Puck said.
"Yeah, I let her borrow my spare clothes, Santana slushied her." Quinn explained.
"Harsh." Puck grimaced. "Good thing you were there to help."
"Hey aren't you and Santana dating or something?" Quinn asked.
"It was just one date, followed by a few booty calls, nothing serious though, you can't tie the Puckasourus down." He said proudly. Quinn giggled.
"Puckasourus?" she said with a hitched eye brow, still laughing. He nodded with his eyebrows raised proudly.
Third and fourth period passed without a hitch. By the time Chemistry class was over, Puck and Quinn had exchanged numbers and Quinn had promised to text him when she was out of fourth period and meet him outside the cafeteria. She texted Kurt and Rachel with the same plane and they all agreed. Quinn stood outside the cafeteria when Kurt arrived, hugging her.
"Hey, how was third and fourth period." He asked.
"Third was pretty good actually, fourth is always bore." Quinn said as he pulled back. Kurt's eyes bulged when he saw Puck coming up behind her. He gulped, suddenly remembering the bad double slushy facial he had received from the taller boy three weeks ago. To his shock, Puck put his arm around Quinn.
"Hey bro." he said, fist bumping her.
"Hey." She replied. Then looked at Kurt and then back to Puck. "Ready?"
Puck nodded, unwrapped his arm from around Quinn's shoulder and took a step closer to Kurt.
"Hey Kurt." He said with a sincere smile at the shorter boy.
"Hello Noah." Kurt smiled nervously, yet he was curious as to why the taller boy was just standing in front of him and not proudly hovering over him as he does usually.
"Call me Puck." The Mo hawked boy said in a friendly manner, then he cleared his throat. "Listen, I just, uh… I wanted to apologize."
"F-for what?" Kurt stammered, surprised.
"For being kind of a jerk to you." Puck said. "Or rather, a big jerk to you."
Kurt took in a deep breath and stared at the taller boy for a second.
"I know, I should have never done any of that crap in the first place. I never should have let my friends pressure me into all that. And I don't hate you for being gay, I'm actually proud of you, you're brave enough to be the only out gay guy in this school despite the fact that you get treated like shit because of it." Puck said, causing Kurt's ego to swell just a bit. "And I promise, from now on, no more slushies from me, hell in fact I'll even protect you. I want to be your friend."
Kurt's eyes bulged again, and his smile turned from nervous, to flattered, to sincere in seconds.
"Well, in that case. Apology accepted." He said, still smiling at the taller boy, who was too shy to look him in the eye up until this moment. Puck held out his hand.
"Friends?" he said with a smile.
"Yes, but I'm not shaking your hand." Kurt said.
"Oh, I get it." Puck said looking back to the ground, shame rolled over him once more.
"Because I don't shake my friends' hands Puck, I hug them." The shorter boy said, the opened up his arms. "Come here."
Puck smiled widely and hugged the smaller boy tightly. Kurt smiled at Quinn over Puck's shoulder, who smiled back happily. She stepped up next to the two boys, who separated and smiled at each other.
"I'm proud of both of you!" She said, smiling at her best friend and their new friend. Puck put a hand on her shoulder and Kurt hugged her from the side.
"It's all thanks to you Q." Puck said with a smile.
"What amazing thing did Quinn do this time?" A voice was heard. They all looked over and saw Rachel standing there, smiling at the sight of the three. "Hey Puck."
"Hey Rachel." He said with a smile.
"Rachel, to answer your question, these two just became friends." Quinn smiled happily at both boys once again.
"With your help." Kurt chimed in. "I'm pretty sure if I saw him coming without him greeting you first I would have run away in fear."
"Well you won't have to do that anymore, you're my little bud now!" Puck said, putting a hand on Kurt's shoulder and giving it a reassuring squeeze.
"Wow, Quinn, you never cease to amaze me." Rachel said, smiling up at the blonde.
"Oh please." Quinn dismissed. "it was Puck who came up to me."
"To ask you out, I had no idea you were gay." He said. She gulped and looked over to Rachel for her reaction.
"You're gay?" She asked the blonde.
"Uh…yeah." Quinn smiled nervously.
"Quinn, relax, I think it's awesome." Rachel said, smiling at the blonde again. She quickly closed up the space in between them and took the taller girl into a warm embrace. "You're my friend, I wouldn't care if you turned into a werewolf or were a vampire, and I'd still accept you no matter what."
"Really?" Quinn said, swallowing the lump that was forming in her throat.
"Yes. I mean, you forgave me and accepted me as your friend despite me being a bitch to you, what makes you think I wouldn't accept you because of your sexuality?" Rachel said.
"I…I don't know." Tears escaped the blonde's eyes as she smiled, hugging the shorter girl who still held her tightly. She felt a hand go to her back soothingly, too small to be Puck's or Kurt's. After a minute Rachel pulled away.
"Come on, let's go eat, I'm starving!" She said, then looked up to Quinn's eyes and saw her crying. Her hands went up to the blonde's cheeks and her thumbs wiped away the tears as Quinn had done just over two hours ago.
"Everything's going to be okay." The brunette whispered to Quinn. Kurt and Puck had already started walking into the cafeteria. Rachel pushed herself up on her toes and gave Quinn a soft kiss on the cheek, right in the same spot where she had kissed her earlier. Quinn's smile grew wider as she felt the blood rush to her cheeks. Thankfully Rachel had walked away before she saw it. Quinn turned around and watched the beautiful brunette walk into the cafeteria. She looked her up and down, from her hair which fell beautifully over her shoulders and back, then down her back and then-
Oh God. That ass.
She looks damned good in your jeans.
Shut up. Don't look at her ass don't- oh God dammit.
Hot damn.
Do not get an erection. You have to follow her. You have to sit with her during lunch.
Admit it; you'd tap that in a heartbeat if you could.
Quinn shut her eyes tightly, desperately trying to control the twitching of her extra appendage. Thankfully her jeans were too tight for them to tent up; but the pressure made walking a living nightmare as the friction felt oh so good. She took a deep breath and began to walk, counting numbers in her head, mentally giving herself directions to how to get to the food line, reciting the alphabet. Anything, just anything to get her mind off of how painfully hard she was at the moment. It didn't help that Rachel turned to her and licked her lips before she smiled.
Why did she have to lick her lips? Oh God!
That girl has the hottest mouth ever.
That doesn't even make sense.
I bet it would if your dick was in-
Shut up and get out of my head!
Dude, this is still you talking here, just the dirty part of you which you refuse to let out.
Well gee, I wonder why that is.
Dude, her lips are moving, she's saying something.
Huh?
"-Quinn, hello? Are you okay in there?" Rachel's voice faded in.
"Huh? Uh, yeah, fine." Quinn said.
"You sure? You looked lost for a minute." Rachel said, and eyebrow raised.
"I'm fine, don't worry, I just have this annoying voice in my head that won't shut up." Quinn said with a chuckle.
Who you calling annoying?
"You're funny." Rachel giggled. She walked up to the trays and grabbed two handing one to Quinn.
"Thanks." Quinn said softly as she took the tray. They walked up to the lunch line and Quinn got her normal lunch. A can of her favorite juice, the pasta dish of the day and chocolate pudding for dessert. She was about to reach for the very last cup of chocolate pudding when her hand came into contact with a smaller one and she looked over at Rachel, who smiled, biting her lip gently.
"You take it." Quinn smiled at her.
"No, you take it." Rachel offered back. Quinn rolled her eyes.
"Rach." She said, giving her a look which meant no words were necessary.
"Fine, how about we share it?" Rachel offered, smiling at the blonde.
"Fine." Quinn smiled back.
"Oh aren't you two the sweetest couple I've ever seen." Millie Rose, the lunch lady, chimed in. The two girls giggled.
"That's sweet Mrs. Rose, but we're just friends." Quinn said to the lunch lady who she knew to be very nice. Quinn remembered the first time she had gotten slushied, Mrs. Rose had told her how to get the stain out of her clothes quickly so that she could get on with the rest of the day. She had also wiped her tears and told her that she had absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. Quinn had confided her secret with her and Millie had always been there when she needed it.
"Yeah, we're just good friends." Rachel agreed.
"Of course, don't mind me." Millie waved off with a smile at Rachel and a wink at Quinn which only the blonde saw, which sent blood rushing to her cheeks. Yes, Millie knew about her crush as well. Quinn moved over to the register behind Rachel. She instinctively reached into her pocket to pull out a five dollar bill when Rachel grabbed her wrist.
"No way, I told you, it's on me." Rachel reminded her.
"Oh, right, sorry, force of habit." Quinn smiled at her.
"I'm sure." Rachel said sarcastically, rolling her eyes at the now giggling girl. The brunette pulled her purse out of her shoulder bag and pulled out a ten dollar bill, handed to the cashier and collected her change. They walked over to the table where Kurt and Puck were already eating and chatting away like they didn't just become friends. The two girls slipped into the bench at the table, each sitting next to one of the boys.
"What are you two talking about?" Quinn asked, opening up her juice and taking a sip.
"Hair products." Puck and Kurt said in unison, which earned both of them a raised eye brow from both girls. Puck looked at the two of them.
"What? A Mo hawk needs a lot of upkeep!" he defended.
"Hey, we don't judge." Quinn raised her hands innocently while Rachel giggled. Puck rolled his eyes at them.
"So how often do you wash it?" Kurt asked.
"Once a week, my barber says I don't need to risk any hair loss since there isn't that much." Puck answered.
"Do you condition?" the smaller boy asked.
"Of course, how else do you think I keep it so shiny and silky smooth?" Puck said with a smile.
"Floor wax?" Quinn mumbled under her breath, though Rachel heard her and burst out laughing. Puck looked at the brunette confused.
"What's so funny?" he asked, genuinely confused as to why she was laughing.
"Nothing." Quinn said, clapping a hand over her mouth before bursting out laughing herself.
"Dude, you are so lucky, girls are so weird." He shook his head with a chuckle and looked up at Kurt who giggled in response.
"We are not weird." Rachel said, still giggling.
"Yeah, we're awesome." Quinn shrugged, lifting her hand up to Rachel, who slapped the palm with her own. Puck rolled his eyes and chuckled again and sighed.
"Ladies and gents, I think this is the beginning of a long a b-e-a-Utiful friendship!" he announced, lifting up his can of soda. "To us!"
"To us!" the three chanted in unison, raising their drinks and bumping the containers together before taking a sip.
They ate as they chatted, teased each other and laughed.
"Hey Q, no chocolate pudding?" Kurt asked.
"We're sharing the last one" She said, gesturing to Rachel who lifted up the cup and waved it.
"Because someone refused to take it even though I said it was totally okay." Rachel poked. Quinn smiled at her and stuck out her tongue teasingly. Rachel reached over for her spoon and held it up at her as if she were threatening her with it.
"What are you gonna do, spoon me?" Quinn teased.
"I just might!" Rachel said with a giggle.
"Can I watch?" Puck said, wiggling his eye brows suggestively. They both looked at him confused for a second before the realization hit them.
"Oh." They both said in unison, bursting out in giggles.
"Just eat your pudding you two, we have like, ten minutes left." Kurt said, looking at his wrist watch.
"You do, I have a free period." Quinn teased.
"Oh cool me too, you wanna hang out?" Puck said.
"Sure." Quinn said.
"Pudding being opened." Rachel warned, catching Quinn's attention who smiled at her. "You wanna lick the lid?"
"Nah." Quinn crinkled her nose and smiled.
"Your loss." Rachel shrugged. "I get more of the cream at the top!"
"I prefer the chocolate part actually." Quinn giggled as she watched Rachel's tongue slip out of her mouth and lick off the cream from the lid. She didn't realize how hot the action would be until it was too late and she felt her member twitch once again in her jeans. She watched as Rachel finished off the lid, dropping the now clean foil onto her tray. She handed Quinn a spoon but the other girl just stared at her.
"Quinn you okay?" Rachel asked, snapping the blonde out of her thoughts.
"Huh? Yeah." Quinn said, taking the spoon out of the brunette's hand gently. "I'm fine."
"You sure? You keep phasing out? Is that voice talking to you again?" Rachel asked with a giggle.
"Something like that." Quinn mumbled. Rachel tipped the cup over to her to let her have the first spoonful, to which she obliged. Rachel took the second, putting the spoonful in her mouth.
"mmh." She said, rolling her eyes to the back of her head. "I never get over how amazing this tastes."
Quinn took a deep breath and smiled at the brunette, trying to ignore the throbbing sensation in her jeans. They ate the rest of the desert in silence, smiling at each other every now and again. They came to the end of the cup and there was only enough left for one last spoonful.
"You want the last bite?" Quinn asked.
"You have it." Rachel offered.
"You sure." Quinn asked.
"Are we really doing this again?" Rachel asked.
"I just want to be sure." Quinn said with a smile.
"Oh my God!" Rachel said. She grabbed the cup and scooped up the last spoonful. "Open your mouth!"
"Wha-Mmf" Quinn began, but at the first opportunity Rachel shoved the spoonful of chocolate pudding into her mouth.
"There, taste good?" Rachel asked sarcastically, pulling the spoon out of Quinn's mouth and leaving the creamy chocolate to land onto her tongue. Quinn's shoulders shook as she tried not to burst out laughing.
"That…" she mumbled with her teeth closed. She lifted up a finger for a pause and swallowed the mouthful of pudding. "That was actually the best spoonful of pudding ever; it tastes a lot better when it's shoved into your mouth."
"That's what she said." Kurt and Rachel said in unison. Puck and Quinn burst out laughing as the two looked at each other and high fived each other before giggling along.
The bell rang and the four of them walked out of the cafeteria together, stopping at the entrance where they would be separates from each other.
"This was really fun." Rachel said.
"Yeah! Hey same time tomorrow?" Puck suggested.
"As long as a certain someone doesn't shove pudding filled cutlery into my mouth." Quinn said looking at Rachel.
"Oh please, you loved it!" The brunette said, giving the blonde a playful wink. Quinn giggled and tried to hide her blushing, biting her lip.
"I think what they mean is yes." Kurt chimed in.
"Sweet!" Puck said. He opened his arms out to the smaller boy, who gladly welcomed Puck's tight embrace. "I'll see you later buddy!"
"See you." Kurt said warmly as they pulled back. Puck gestured to Rachel who accepted his hug as Quinn hugged Kurt happily. Then Rachel pulled back from Puck just as Quinn did the same from Kurt and the smaller brunette pulled the blonde into a tight embrace, her arms wrapping themselves around her neck and her toes stretching to make up for the height difference.
"Thank you so much for everything today, I mean it, I really needed it." The shorter girl whispered into Quinn's ear.
"What are friends for?" Quinn asked rhetorically, squeezing her arms around the girl one more time before they pulled away from each other with a smile, staring at each other for a few seconds
"Okay so we'll see you guys later." Puck said, breaking the silence. "Hey Q, you wanna go shoot some hoops out by the trash cans?"
"There's a Basketball hoop back there?" Quinn asked.
"Hell yeah!" Puck confirmed.
"Sweet, let's go!" Quinn said, high fiving the Mo hawked boy.
"Have fun guys." Kurt said.
"Yeah, just don't hurt yourselves!" Rachel warned. The two brunettes walked in the other direction, still chatting in the distance between them and Kurt's locker.
