A/N:Yep update already. But i'm in the mood. Halloween ended an hour ago, and I was just exceptionally happy. Like Rachel would say: There's just something about the holiday. I hope you guys enjoy this, if not I hope you tell me what i'm doing wrong.
Disclaimer: I didn't put one in the last chapter but; I sadly do not own Glee. I wish I owned Puck. That would be amazing, but i don't :/
Puck smirked at Finn as he shut Rachel's power off. The guys huddled around the window, minus Finn, all anxious to see what the annoying sophomore would do. They watched as she got up and scanned the room with a flashlight.
"Spread out" Mike called out in a whisper, as they saw her headed for the door. Puck chuckled to himself. This was turning out to be the best night. As if to prove him wrong, Finn crossed his arms and shook his head. "I am not hiding. I'm not going to let you scare Rachel" He said, standing his ground. Matt was about to say something but Puck held his hand out to stop him. "Dude-I got this" Puck said, standing up. He grabbed Finn roughly, and shoved him towards the guys. "Just stay there and be quiet. I beg of you." "I just don't get it. You guys are in Glee! Just like Rachel. Why do you still make it your mission in life to ruin her?!" They were all silent for a few moments before Puck jumped in.
"Because she's annoying, and fun to laugh at" He said, with an impassive look on his face.
"Guys, shut up" Matt growled as they heard her tiny footsteps on leaves. Puck watched, giddily almost, as she stepped out from the side of the house and walked up to the fuse box.
"Rachel" Mike started the eerie whispering, motioning for the other guys to join in. Puck looked over at Finn for a short second, and saw him pouting with his arms crossed. "What a tool" He thought to himself.
He had to cover his mouth to keep from laughing when she dropped her flashlight. As she bent over to get it, he leaned in closer to get a good view. Who was he trying to fool, Rachel Berry had a nice ass!
He whistled, looking her over once more, and was pulled back to the safety of the darkness. God he was an ass. Rachel looked around and looked exceptionally cold in that little thing she had on. As much as he didn't want to want to help her in any way, he would have loved to see her in his letterman jacket. It would be huge but it'd make her warm…and it'd turn him on to see her in it. Puck stood, ready to grab Rachel and scare the crap out of her. As she turned to look at the box, he jumped out and grabbed her from behind, causing her to scream as loud as she could.
"Ah shit! Make her shut up" Mike growled, not wanting to have someone call the police. Puck caught on easily; if the police came and saw them with Rachel like this..he would be thrown in jail. Not only would that upset his mother, but it would go on his permanent record. Not good for college. He wrapped his hand firmly around her mouth as her loud shrieks turned into muffled sounds. She tried to break free but was nothing against Puck's strong upper body.
"Guys lets kidnap her" One of the football players that wasn't part of glee suggested. Some of the guys agreed, while the glee members looked at Puck disgusted. Scaring Rachel, he was all for it. But killing the girl by giving her a heart attack? That was one thing he would never do. His mother taught him better than that.
"Hell no man" Puck said loudly. He'd released his tight grip and cried out in pain as he felt Rachel's teeth biting down on his flesh. He pulled his hand to himself quickly, and realized she was falling. "Crap" He mumbled, reaching for her. Her legs got tangled in his, and he too fell. He fell right on top of her with a loud thud.
"PUCK" Rachel screamed, shaken by what had just happened.
Puck was distracted by her leg, which was in the complete wrong place. "Berry…please move your leg" He pleaded. He really didn't like being attracted to his girl.
"Move my…What" She screeched. Puck covered her mouth again, earning him a glare. "Just move your leg!" Rachel looked down and her eyes widened. She pulled her leg free, then stood up, clearing her throat. Several of the guys had erupted in a laughing fit. Mike was looking at his cell phone, laughing "I got it all!" "Give me that" Finn growled, reaching for it. Mike pulled it to himself, a smirk set on his lips. "Everyone is going to see this" He said laughing.
Rachel crossed her arms over her chest, feeling self conscious. "So you men came to my home tonight, just to humiliate me? I mean I suppose I shouldn't be very shocked, however this time I have to say it's a surprise. You normally lay off on Halloween." She scanned the group and her eyes fell on the one person she really didn't want to see. And he was there to make her life hell, just like the rest of them.
It was overwhelming the feeling she got whenever she saw Finn. It was heartache, pain, and desperation.
"Yeah well I just can't stand being away from you Berry" Puck joked, looking at the guys. He moved his gaze back to her, and felt a pang of something in his stomach.
Guilt? He didn't do guilt. But it wouldn't go away. He didn't know if it was the fact that she was shaking-probably freezing in that little scrap of an outfit, or the look she was giving Finn.
Well fuck. Why didn't I think about that before?!
"Uh…here" Puck said slowly, slipping off his jacket and handing it to her. He couldn't really do anything about Finn, and there was no way in hell he was about to apologize. So this was the only thing he could think of doing.
Rachel slowly looked at him, and that's when he felt like a real ass hole. The hurt was evident in her eyes, and even if he wasn't looking at her it was palpable. Tears glistened in her eyes and he just wanted to kick himself in the face. Rule number one when he was kid; Never make a girl cry. Well it wasn't his fault! It had all been Matt's idea. And then Mike was the one that went through with it. He wasn't to blame for any of this.
"Well are you going to take it" He asked, the hateful sound to his voice coming back.
"Puck" Finn scolded, shaking his head. "I would very much appreciate it if you all left. I mean I could call my fathers but I don't think they'd be very pleased. They'd probably throw a fit and sue you all" She said, trying to gain her strength back. There was no way she would let them see her cry. They all either nodded, or stuffed their hands in their pockets before shuffling off. Finn and Puck stayed behind. "You two as well please" She said, rubbing harder at her shoulders. She was freezing. It must have only been warm in her house. Outside- it was colder than a winter night.
"I'm serious Berry, take my jacket. It's freezing out here" Puck said, waving the letterman jacket in her face. "I don't want it Noah" Rachel disdained the offer.
"Rachel-" Finn said softly. She looked away from him, out into the dark night. "Rach. Please, talk to me" He pleaded.
"I have nothing to say Finn. So please, leave" Rachel said, practically begging. "I-I'm sorry" He said softly, walking off. She almost forgot about Puck until he said something.
"So-listen, I'm-" He started. Rachel cut him off "Noah, do not apologize for something you're not sorry for. But if you wouldn't mind, could you please turn my power back on?" He sighed, and trudged over to the box. He flipped the switch, and looked back at Rachel. He examined every part of her. Her hair, her face, her upper body, and her legs. His eyes lingered there for a bit longer then they should have.
"Thank you. You may retreat now if you wish" She said softly, her shaking becoming worse.
Noah crossed his arms. "And if I don't wish?" "You can stand out in the cold all you want I suppose. That will most likely be excruciating and you'll most likely give up and leave in an hour tops" Rachel informed him. He saw her shake and shook his head.
"Berry I'll leave if you take my damn jacket" Puck advised.
Rachel eyed his jacket carefully. She desperately wanted to take it, but it was Noah's. He'd just humiliated her. She took the jacket from him, examining it before slipping it on and buttoning it up. She felt better, and looked up at him.
He smirked, watching her. He was right. It swallowed her, it was so big, and it damn well turned him on.
"Goodnight Noah" Rachel grumbled, trying to be polite.
"It's Puck, Berry" He called out after her, as she walked away. She looked over her shoulder at him. "It's Rachel, Noah!"
With that he left her standing out in the cold, jacketless. He smirked and nodded in approval. Rachel made him want to light himself on fire but she was feisty and he loved it.
