The sun set quickly, and with the moon being the only source of light illuminating the sky, I was about to suggest that it might be a good idea to head back to the house when she spoke, "I have an idea. Come with me."
I watched her, skeptically, as she took her shoes off and stood up. She offered her hand out to me. I took it and she helped me up, rather pulled me up and with her to the edge of the water.
"What're we doing?" I asked as I struggled to take my shoes and socks off as well.
She places her feet in the water, and I do the same. It was colder than I had expected.
"Perfect." she said, and I just send her a confused look. She continued, "Ok, wait right here, and don't hate me." She retreated a few feet.
"Wait. Wha-?" I tried to question, but was interrupted when the blonde forcefully pushed me into the cold water. I fell back into the water, and was drowned in it's iciness. I finally reemerged, gasping for air from the shock, and I wiped the water from my face.
"What the fuck was that for?" I managed to ask between heavy breaths. Cold and I do not mix well. I looked back at her on the shore, and she is just laughing way too hard for my liking.
"I wanted to test something." She answered when she finally caught her breath. "And it seems my predictions were right."
"What are you even talking about?" I asked, as I walk out of the water, my clothes soaked. I pulled my shirt over my head, and tried to wring out the water.
"Your eyes." She stated.
"Yeah, what about them?"
"They turn to that gold color any time you have an intense feeling or emotion come over you. Like when you're angry or like when your body just so happens to be submerged in cold water."
"Ok, and you just needed to do that because..."
"I told you I was going to try and help figure out what you are. That was just the first test."
"A test? A test? You pushed me into freezing water for some test? Ok, first of all, there was no need for force. If you just wanted to see my impeccable physique all you needed to do was ask." I gestured to my shirtless self. She blushed and looked away. "And second, you have a series of tests? Really? Next thing I know you're going to probe me, and I mean I like kinky and all, but that's going a little too far, even for me." I smirked as I closed the distance between us.
"You are way too full of yourself." She stated with a smile and rolled her eyes.
"Oh am I?" I exclaimed as she finally noticed how close I was getting. I was at arms length when she started backing away.
"Yes, you are. And what do you think you're doing?"
"Getting payback," I said as I used my speed to get behind her. She backed up straight into me and squealed while she turned to face me.
"That is so not fair." She argued as she tried running in the opposite direction, but yet again I manage to beat her to it, and this time I pick her up in my arms and throw her over my shoulder.
"Oh, yes it is." I stated, as I carried her out into the freezing lake. She yelled and beat on my bare back to let me know that she didn't like being 'woman-handled' and that I should put her down.
"Ok," I agreed as I shifted her position so that she was cradled in my arms instead of thrown over my shoulder. She looked up at me realizing that if I indeed put her down, it wouldn't be a nice landing.
"You wouldn't dare..." she remarked, as she shifted her eyes from mine to the water.
"Try me," I smirked. Now I had total control over Quinn Fabray.
"Noah, you don't hav- Ahhh" She tried to plead when her voice was cut off as she hit the surface of the water.
"It's Puck," I corrected as she broke through the water, gasping for air, just as I had previously.
"You- I cannot believe you just- You're going to get it, Noah Puckerman!" She threatened as she sprung at me, locking her arms around my neck and dragging me back underwater.
I was once again submerged with the cold, and I could feel my eyes changing colors, and all of a sudden in the murkiness of the lake, I could see Quinn clearly. My eyes were a source of light under the water. She noticed it too, and our eyes connected. With her arms still around me, I stood up out of the water, and our eyes never left each other.
"It was quick, last time" She noted curiously, the water dripping down her face.
"What do you mean?"
"You're eyes, they only changed for a couple of seconds and then when you adjusted to the water's temperature they went back to normal. Why are they still gold?" She asked as my arms wrap around her waist to hold her up.
"I don't know" I whispered as I placed my forehead on hers. She sucked in a breath.
I chanced it because I knew if I didn't I would regret it. So I leaned in and closed my eyes and kissed her. I've kissed a lot of people in my life, but this kiss was different. It was that same spark that had been there the whole time. It felt real. It felt right.
The most surprising thing was that Quinn didn't pull away at first. It's like she succumbed to it, she let it happen, she didn't resist. But then reality flooded her mind and her body. She stiffened, and pulled away, her eyes searching my face.
"We should get going. It's getting pretty late." She declared. Her arms dropped from around me, and she started wading back to shore.
I nodded and followed.
And we left, as if nothing happened.
