FLUFF DRABBLE #2
Prompt: Five years ago, I witnessed an overweight girl being harassed. A group of "popular girls" had pulled down her pants while we were leaving school. The girl grabbed her pants and ran away crying. Our school's star quarterback chased after her to comfort her.
I just came back from their wedding. GMH.
Finn/Mercedes or Puck/Mercedes please.
A.N: While there was a chose, the people who supported the prompt preferred Puckcedes and I do too so without further ado.
Also, in this Quinn moved in with Mercedes somewhere during "Home"
People were running to and fro in Mercedes' dressing room, Santana and Rachel were yelling orders to people, Tina and Quinn were doing Brittany's hair after just finishing washing it she'd managed to mess up her hair doing whatever she was when she said she was going to check up on the boy's, something about the ice sculpture looking crooked and she didn't see the workers coming behind her with a bowl of punch, thankfully she wasn't in her dress when she had the misfortune of getting punch dumped on her. Sarah was in the corner playing with Beth, she was the flower girl. Shelby was kind enough to let Beth be in the wedding, the adoption was open so Beth knew who they all were and Quinn and Puck were extra happy she was there, Shelby was out of town and couldn't attend but she trusted Beth in her biological parents' hands. Kurt was sitting next to her admiring her in the mirror, he had tears in his eyes, and she did too. It wasn't that she looked bad because she looked good her hair was up in an elegant and intricate bun of twists courtesy of Tina it would go nicely with the tiara veil Kurt had forced on her, he said it was only fair since she refused to have doves at her wedding or rice throwing, she doesn't want Brittany to start crying about how they were gonna make the birds stomachs explode. Her dress wasn't on yet, they did have another 2 hours, but everything else was done, she just needed to wait for people to come,
"Shoo, go help Tina." Quinn said, Kurt composed himself and left
"I'm so proud of you Mercy." She gushed hugging her
"Not nearly as proud as my mom is to know I won't grow to be a senile, old woman with 70 cats." She joked Quinn ran her hands over Mercedes' face
"Really though, I'm so happy for you both."
"Yeah, I mean and to think I have those Cheerios to thank." Quinn nodded they were both obviously remembering that day.
FLASHBACK
Mercedes, Kurt and Quinn were walking from the school after Cheerios practice had ended.
"Seriously was it necessary for Rachel to stir the pot with the love square drama." Kurt said as they walked towards his van
"You know Rachel, she causes more drama and trouble than is necessary." Quinn said, occasionally rubbing her protruding stomach. As they walked they saw the football players leaving from their practice, it was still light out thankfully. They waved when they saw Matt, Mike, Puck and Finn.
"Hey preggers, tubbers, fairy." One brunette cheerio said aggressively in passing, they recognized her as Brooke; she had two friends with her a strawberry blonde with curly hair, Paige, and a redhead, Jessica.
"Slut, bubblehead, ginger." Mercedes said addressing them with the same aggression
"What? My head had bubbles in it, I wonder if I can pop them." Paige said poking her head, she really did give blondes a bad name, Brittany was a hundred times smarter than her, Brooke quirked her eyebrow and walk up to Mercedes, Jessica followed leaving Paige, who was in a world of her own, behind.
"It's not slutting around, if boys just want me."
"Well I'm sure they would want you less if you wore your spankies under your skirt in class and closed your legs." She said snarkily, they were starting to draw a crowd of sorts it was the AV club included Ben Israel who had a camera rolling, some jocks and cheerios.
"Well speaking of skirts, why don't you wear one are you just as disgusted at your body as everyone else is or is there a reason that your best friends with the fag that all of us girls should know about, wouldn't want a dyke in the girls locker room staring at me."
"Please, heifer I know I look good, and I don't need to dress like a hooker to feel self assured like you do. And whether I was a lesbian, straight or bi I could still hold a boyfriend without having to put out thank you very much and even if I were gay hell would freeze over before I was attracted to a bitch like you. Come on guys." They turned away from the livid girl and when their backs were turned is when her redhead friend struck, she was silent the whole time but took the opportunity to embarrass Mercedes the most, and swiftly the girl reached out and pulled down Mercedes' Cheerios pants. The whole circle busted out laughing at her, she quickly grabbed her pants back on and ran off into the school, Quinn and Kurt were stuck in the fray of students unable to free themselves from the trap, they felt arms pulling them and when they were free they could see that Finn and Mike had pulled them from the crowd, Matt and Puck were nowhere to be seen
"Mercedes" Quinn said about to walk in the building
"Puck went after her." Finn commented
"Because that's real comforting." Kurt commented but made no move
"Just let him handle it."
Inside Puck ran through the halls, it was around 5 so not much places were open except the Bathroom and a couple of classrooms and he doubts she ran into one of the rooms to have a heart to heart at the moment so he ran to the girl's bathroom, when he got there he could hear her sobs he looked down trying to figure out which stall she was in, he walked to the third one and knocked,
"Mercedes?"
"Go away." She sobbed out
"It's Puck."
"I know that."
"Please come out." He requested
"Why should I? I've never been so humiliated in my life, not even when I was getting slushied in front of everyone." She said
"Think of the cup as half full." He said, shuffling uncomfortably. He hated chicks crying and he wasn't the mushy type or anything it was weird
"How? What possible good could there be here?"
"I don't know. I mean, well it's gonna take a lot for anything else to be more embarrassing."
"I guess." She was starting to calm down, he was glad his talking was distracting her
"And it's not like your legs are mutated or something, they aren't ugly, they're actually hot. Like really hot." He said, they were hot and thinking about it was kinda turning him on, he quickly shook his head, thinking with Puck Jr. had gotten him in the mess he was currently in with Quinn.
"Well, I guess that's true." He heard the stall door unlock and looked down to see her sitting on the toilet lid wiping her eyes and sniffling,
"You aren't really good at the whole comforting thing you know." She commented, he shrug his shoulders smiling slightly, he walked over to the sink and wet a paper towel and walked back and handed it to her
"Thanks." She wiped her face
"So I guess that video Ben Israel has is gonna go viral pretty soon." She said
"Not necessarily." She looked confused
"I have a little control over him I could hit him until he swears not to post it."
"And he'll post it anyway and suffer the beat down after it with out a care as long as he's ruined someone's life." She says standing and walking over to the trash bin
"They're still out there." He states
"Yeah, probably." She sighs and walks out she gets halfway down the hall before she hears footsteps approaching her fast she turns to see Puck running up behind her
"You don't have to go out there alone." He says,
"Thanks." He shrugs as if it's nothing yet on the way outside their hands somehow find each other's and interlock.
Puck shook himself from the memory of when he had finally manned up and was there for Mercedes the way he wanted to be. He looked calm and cool on the outside but inside he was a nervous wreck, the guys were crowded in his dressing room doing nothing in particular really. Mike and Artie had connected their phones and were playing 'Fruit Ninja', Sam and Matt were watching TV, Finn and Blaine were eating the food available, Puck was acting like he was watching TV, he had concerns and fears and he slyly mentioned them, the boys reassured him each time. He was being smooth with it or at least that's what he thought.
"I mean what if we get into a car accident on the way to the airport." He says laughing a little all the boys roll their eyes
"Seriously man, stop worrying so much Kurt and I are running this ship and we made sure this wedding is Brittany proof, there's really nothing else to worry about." Artie comments
"Dude, stop whining everything will be fine. Besides if something goes wrong Santana will chop someone's balls off, she's worked herself to the bone planning this wedding and there's no way she's letting someone get in the way of this thing going off without a hitch." Finn comments his mouth full of grapes
"You sure it's not just her hormones making her extra cranky that will induce the ball chopping." Matt says commenting on Finn's pregnant wife
"Yeah, there's that too."
"Anyway, just relax man I bet the girls are as cool as cucumbers over there." Sam says
IN THE GIRL'S ROOM
"WHERE THE HELL ARE THE HAIRCLIPS?" Rachel shrieks panicked
"I can't get married without them, it's something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue, and I need those clips their like 50 years old and blue." Mercedes says hyperventilating, Tina and Brittany were crawling on the floor looking for them, Santana had left to go scream at some of her employees. Quinn and Kurt were sitting back watching the madness that was ensuing while playing with Beth.
"Guys, the clips are in Brittany's hair." Kurt says, Brittany all but rips them out and runs to Mercedes and positions them perfectly. Mercedes had already to put on her gown, it was a beautiful, spaghetti strapped, custom embroidered dress, with a corset top and white satin sash across the stomach and the skirt fanning out beautifully an original collaboration of Kurt Hummel and Tina Cohen-Chang. Beth had her dress on as well at this point it was white and embroidered her hair was in a bun with a gold tiara.
"Alright let's get this show on the road peeps." Santana says walking in, she as well as the rest of the girls was decked out in one shouldered purple silk dresses,
"This is it." Tina gushes to her,
"I know." Mercedes says fanning herself chuckling as tears spring up in her eyes
"You're crying already?" Rachel asks teasingly but she has tears in her eyes
"Let's just go watch me get married." Mercedes says, they all exit the room and line up as they should, the guys are out there too well all except Finn who's the best man, the first down the aisle were Matt and Rachel followed Tina and Mike, Brittany and Artie, who was walking thanks to the power stem cells, then Sam and Santana, Kurt and Blaine and finally made of honor, Quinn. The wedding march started playing and Mercedes nervously fiddled with her dress, she felt her arm being looped through someone else's and smiled up at Mr. Schue, he smiled back. He was walking her down the aisle as her father died two years prior and Mr. Schue was like a second father, Beth walked forward dropping roses ever so often as soon as Mercedes got on the church her eyes were trained on Puck's, he looked at her like she was the most beautiful, rarest jewel, he always made her feel special like she could take on the world with him at her side. When she finally got to him she felt like she was itching from her skin trying to get to him Mr. Schue sits as she is finally standing next to her soon to be husband, the music stops
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in the sight of God, and in the face of this company, to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony, which is an honorable estate, instituted by God and therefore is not to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly, but reverently, discreetly, advisedly and in the love of God. Into this holy estate these two persons present come now to be joined. If anyone has any reason to object to this union speak now or forever you're your peace." Mercedes and Puck look back fearfully but they know they have nothing to worry about once Santana, Rachel, Kurt and Artie glare at the crowd with a ferocity that would scare the devil himself.
"Now, would you both please turn and face each other and hold hands." They do so smiling, Mercedes eyes are already watering she can see Puck not too far behind her
"Noah, Do you take Mercedesto be your Wife?"
"I do." He says
"Do you promise to love, honor, cherish and protect her, forsaking all others and holding only unto her?"
"I do" his voice cracks the second time
"Mercedes, Do you take Noah to be your Husband?"
"I do" she says having to nod her head as her voice comes out barely above a whisper
"Do you promise to love, honor, cherish and protect him, forsaking all others and holding only unto him?
"I do." Her voice is louder and thick with tears
"May I please have your rings?" He says Quinn hands his a beautiful diamond band, Finn hands him a matching one
"The wedding ring is the outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual bond, which unites two loyal hearts in endless love. It is a seal of the vows Noah and Mercedes have made to one another. Bless O God these rings, which these two, who give them, and who wear them, may ever abide in thy peace. Living together in unity, love and happiness for the rest of their lives. Amen." He says finishing his prayer, he hands them the rings and motions them to continue the ring pledge
"Mercedes, I give you this ring as a reminder that all that I am, will forever be a part of you and as a symbol of my love for you as we embark on this journey together."
"Noah, I receive this ring as a reminder and a symbol that you will always love me and be a part of me." She says as he slips the ring on
"Noah, I give you this ring as a reminder that all that I am, will forever be a part of you and as a symbol of my love for you as we embark on this journey together."
"Mercedes, I receive this ring as a reminder and a symbol that you will always love me and be a part of me." He says as she slips his ring on
"Now the couple has written their own vows, correct?" They both nod, and Puck begins his vows first
"Today, as I give myself to you my mind is clear and my commitment is strong and without reservation. I take you to be my life's partner. I will never leave you nor forsake you I will spend all my days at your side. We will share a lifetime of eternal, immeasurable love. Mercedes, I take you to be my wife from this time onward, to join with you and to share all that is to come, to be your faithful husband, to give and to receive, to speak and to listen, to inspire and to respond, a commitment made in love, kept in faith, and eternally made new. As freely as God has given me life, I join my life with yours. Wherever you go, I will go, whatever you face, I will face. For good or ill, in happiness or sadness, come riches or poverty, I take you as my wife, and will give myself to no other. I hereby pledge myself to be faithful. I give myself wholly to you this hour and I promise to guard, cherish and protect you all the days of my life. In front of our friends and family gathered here I promise to love and cherish you throughout good times and bad times. I promise to try to remember to put down the toilet seat and to replace the toilet roll when it finishes. I promise to remember this day with love and roses and to look after you if you get sick. I will love you always. " He finishes, she's a teary mess by the end and tears and running slowly down his face
"Darn and I promised myself I wouldn't cry." she laments as he helps her wipe her tears
"I choose you, Noah, as my best friend, my love for life. I promise you my deepest love, my fullest devotion, my tenderest care, through the pressures of the present and the uncertainties of the future, I promise to be faithful to you. I promise to love you, to commit to you, and support you. I pledge to respect your unique talents and abilities, to lend you strength for all of your dreams. You have shown me what love feels like and for that I thank you. You are everything I need and at this moment I know all of my prayers have been answered and that all of my dreams have come true. I thank God for giving you to me, for all of your love and constant friendship. I know that our love is heaven sent and I promise to be here for ever and always. From this day forward, you will not walk alone. My heart will be your shelter and my arms will be your home. As I have given you my hand to hold, I give you my life to keep. Today I choose you, to be my life partner. I promise to sleep by your side, to be the joy of your heart, the food of your soul and the best person I can be for you. I promise to laugh with you when times are good, and to suffer with you when they are bad; I promise to wash away your tears with my kisses and to hold you sweetly and gladly until our days on earth are over. Because I love you so much and no matter what happen through fire and brimstone nothing will tear me away from your side." She says her voice trails off at the end too overcome with tears
"Join us in prayer: Our Father, creator and preserver of all mankind, giver of all spiritual grace, the author of everlasting life, send Your blessing upon this man and this woman, whom we bless in Your name, that they, living faithfully together, may surely perform and keep the vow and covenant between them made, and may ever remain in perfect love and peace together, Amen. Those whom God hath joined together let no man put asunder. Forasmuch as Noah and Mercedes have consented together in Holy wedlock, and have witnessed the same before God and this company, and have declared the same by giving and receiving a ring, and by joining hands I now pronounce that they are husband and wife. You may now kiss your Bride." He wastes no time dipping her down, much to the amusement of the attendees and kisses her thoroughly even though their kiss is salty but they break apart at the erupting applause around them.
"It is now my happy privilege to present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Noah and MercedesPuckerman." Puck smashed the glass with his foot in Jewish tradition and they walk down the aisle to their destiny. They had three children, Naomi, Ezra and Micah, and 8 grandchildren Elena, Caroline, Tyler, Roxanna, Damian, Cameron, Hannah and Mackynleigh unfortunately Mercedes died when they were 88 Puck died 3 years later, some would say he lost half of his heart the day she died and his death wasn't a surprise, they currently reside in heaven watching their loved ones from above.
YAY! 2 IN ONE NIGHT! R&R
