CHAPTER 1
Finn laid on his bed, "I can't believe I have feelings like this for my best friend..." He couldn't help but to picture Puck's face as he laid there in the dark, secluded room. Puck had been his best friend ever since they met in 7th grade, no one had ever been closer to him.
"All these years, and I never saw what was standing right in front of me..." Finn thought aloud.
He searched his mind over and over again to find the source of these unknown thoughts. There was nothing there to prove that these were actual feelings towards one Noah Puckerman. Still he searched until he fell asleep.
"Finn! Wake up! It is noon and your friend is on the phone for you!" yelled Mrs. Hudson up the stairs to Finn's room.
Finn rolled over to see the clock revealing 12:07 while whispering the sounds of a Journey song. He was surprised to have slept for as long as he did.
"Who is it?" he replied to his mom.
"It's Noah, he said quit being lazy and get the phone!" she answered.
Without even thinking, he jumped up and shuffled down the stairs as if his body was on auto-pilot destined for Puck's voice.
"Hello!" he exclaimed rather gleefully.
"Ummm, yeah dude... So, what are you doing around 4?" asked Puck.
Finn knew he had promised his mom that he would go shopping with her today, but let's face it, he hated shopping and right now Puck's voice was echoing in his mind like a school bell.
"Nothing at all, why?" he asked hoping to spend time with Puck.
"Well, Quinn and I are hanging at my house and would like you to come over." answered Puck rather blatantly.
"Sure, see you at 4. Bye." Finn said, then hung up as fast as he could.
All of a sudden, he wasn't excited about seeing Puck anymore. Quinn being there was going to ruin it all! Not only was she intruding on his alone time with Puck, but she was also Puck's cheerleading girlfriend.
"Shit... Why..." Finn whimpered as he headed upstairs.
He laid back on his bed and thought about the situation. It was only natural that she would be there to ruin this great day. He couldn't help but to be pissed as he thought about Puck and Quinn being alone at Puck's house. He got up, got dressed, and headed over to Puck's early.
He found himself getting nervous as he approached the door that led into the two story house in front of him. Every time he went to knock on the door, his hand would stop half way there. He contemplated just going back home several times, but his urges to see Puck kept him at that door. He checked his watch to see that it was only 1 in the afternoon.
"Ha, it's only one and here I am." he chuckled to himself.
As the last word left his mouth, the door swung open to reveal Quinn in all her natural beauty.
"Oh Finn! You scared me!" she muttered in a startling excitement.
"Sorry Quinn. I was real bored and headed over early." he lied.
"It's fine, I just have to run home real quick. Puck is in there on the couch glued to the tv as usual." she stated while rolling her eyes.
He felt the excitement rush back as he realized that he would be alone with Puck for at least a short while. He watched as Quinn got in her car and headed home. He walked inside closing the door silently behind him while taking a deep breath.
"What's up?" he questioned Puck as soon as he saw him.
"Nothing, just watching some tv waiting for Quinn to get back." he answered as he stood up to head to the kitchen.
Finn caught him in a hug as he passed by, feeling the warmth radiating from Puck's broad, firm chest. Puck quickly regained his footing and stared at Finn in a look of confusion.
"What was that for?" Puck asked in shyly.
"Ummm, I don't really know." Finn quickly retorted.
Puck brushed it off and continued to walk to the kitchen which Finn followed closely behind him. Finn placed his hand on Puck's shoulder and took an exasperated breath.
"There is something I really need to tell you..." he sighed.
"What is it, your not getting all soft on me are you?" Puck wittingly replied.
"No! Well, kinda... I don't know how to explain it." Finn said as he fumbled his words.
"Just come out and say it already!" Puck replied anxiously.
There was so much running through Finn's mind at this one moment. He was scared to see how Puck would react to what he had to say.
"Umm, I think I have feelings for you..." he whispered hoping that Puck wasn't listening too hard.
"Queer feelings? Like what that Hummel kid would have?" Puck replied sharply.
"Yeah...I just can't stop thinking about you..." Finn said as he stared at the floor.
"Dude, you know that I am straight, I mean, I am with Quinn for God's sake!" he replied.
He had a point, he was dating the hottest girl at their school. Finn felt stupid, he didn't understand how he could think that Puck would feel the same way. Puck noticed how Finn's mood dropped immediately to a saddened, more weakened state.
"Dude, I really don't know how to respond to this." Puck said.
"You don't have to say anything. I am just going to go home..." he said as he turned to go.
"No, wait!" Puck exclaimed out of no where, "Don't you dare leave right now!"
"Why not, I just completely embarrassed myself." Finn said chocking back tears.
"Well, honestly, I don't really know how I feel about you... I am straight, but for some fucking reason, your different." Puck said quietly.
"Stop it! You're just trying to make me feel better!" Finn yelled.
"No I'm not! I really do like you, but your the only guy I would ever even think about doing anything homo with." Puck said as he walked towards Finn.
Finn just watched as he got closer until Puck was standing right in front if him. He was paralyzed, he could only look at Puck's face, which was displaying a sincere look.
"You can't tell anyone about this at all!" Puck exclaimed.
"Tell anyone about what?" Finn asked still in partial paralysis.
Puck pulled him into his arms and forced his lips onto Finn's. Finn did the only thing he could think of, which was kiss back. He felt an intense wave of relief and acceptance from Puck at that moment. Finn didn't want this kiss to end, it was the first time he felt so much chemistry with one person. A tear streamed from his eye as he couldn't hold back anymore. He wrapped his arms around Puck and deepened the kiss. He felt so content within this moment that he let reality go. This was the only thing he knew to be true right now, heaven on earth.
This intense kiss was brought to an abrupt end when they heard the front door fly open.
"Honey, I'm back!"
