Hello my friends! Thanks to everyone for the reviews! I love you all! I would give each and everyone of you a shout out but each one of you will see something in this chapter that you helped to create! You may not realize it but your reviews help in writing it!
To admit to love is to admit to peace. To feel love the first time you touch is rare but it is real. To accept someone for who they are faults and all is true love.
Peace my friends….Hemmy
Chapter 5
A Taste of Heaven
The next morning was a mixture of strangeness and togetherness. Dave was surrounded by three warm bodies. Santana and Brittany were spooning against him with both their legs over his and touching Puck's. Their arms were the same wrapped around each other and Puck too. Dave realizes that his arm is wrapped around the girls holding them against his body while his other arm is still full of a sleeping Puck who was snoring softly.
Dave kisses the top of Puck's head smiling as he feels Puck snuggle into the kiss sighing against his shoulder. He closes his eyes again just enjoying the feeling of being with the guy he is falling in love with and the two crazy girls who seem to be part of the deal too.
Dave jerks awake later when he hears the sound of voices. He pulls all three bodies tight against him ready to fight for them, to protect them.
"Momma I told you he was a bear! Look!" Sarah had walked into the living room not expecting to see all the kids piled up together on the floor. She squealed loudly when she saw the group.
Naomi heard the squeal and the yelps coming out of the living room along with Sarah's loud exclamation. She really couldn't fuss at her daughter because she had already taken another picture of the cute family. She walks back into the living room hearing the kids grumbling at Dave.
Puck jerked awake at the sound of his little sister he tried to jump up but was held down by an arm locked around his waist and his boyfriend growling. He could feel Brittany clutching his leg and hear Santana growling at Dave.
"LET ME GO! YOU BIG LUMOX LET ME GO! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?" Santana is ready for a fight as she tries to pull Brittany closer to her only to feel Dave's strong arm hold her into place at his side. She can hear Mrs. P scolding Sarah trying not to laugh at the sight in front of her.
"Dave, babe, it's okay." Puck doesn't realize the endearment he used trying to get him to calm down. "It was just Sarah."
"I just heard a scream and I thought something bad was happening." Dave looks down at the hazel eyes that hold so much in them, promise, love among them. He called me BABE! Yes! He pulls Puck tighter against him kissing the stripe of hair.
"Oh God I knew this was going to be SAPPY! Can you please turn me loose YOU OVER GROWN APE!" Santana is secretly amused with the sweet gesture from Dave but she isn't about to let it show.
"San is there an Ape in the room now too along with a Bear?" Brittany's small scared voice is muffled by Dave's hip. She can feel Dave's hand on her waist holding her still.
"No baby there isn't any animals in here except for your fat cat. And me." Santana nuzzles Brittany's neck gently kissing it. She can feel Britt relax against her.
"He isn't an Ape San, he's a bear!" Sarah's childlike voice fills the room once again. "Mom tell them he is a bear!"
"Sarah leave them alone. They aren't even awake yet. Sorry guys she just got excited when she saw all of you. It reminded her of a picture in one of her books. I'm getting ready to start breakfast but there is coffee made already." Naomi didn't miss the loving gestures between the boys and the two girls. She smiles at the thought of someone protecting Noah for a change. Dave was going to be good for all of them.
The girls finally pry Dave's arm loose as they stretch from their weird sleeping positions. Puck stays in Dave's arms for a few minutes thinking about the way the big jock was protecting him and the girls. He kissed me! On my head but that still counts right? I mean a kiss is a kiss! He held me all night again! He was ready to fight for me! God I feel like such a girl! But it's kinda nice too….
"Britt why don't you and Puck go help his mom cook breakfast? I need to talk to Dave for a minute." Santana looks at Dave for assistance. He nods at her.
Puck frowns at Santana he isn't sure what the dark skin girl is up to but it is not good. He looks up at Dave who is still holding him. "What's going Dave?"
"Nothing that I can't handle. You go spend time with your mom in the kitchen and make sure Brittany doesn't poison us okay. I will tell you about it later." Dave isn't going to keep a secret from Puck but he doesn't want to ruin this feeling between them either.
Puck nods at Dave and gets up from 'his spot'. He grabs Brittany's hand and pulls her into the kitchen. Santana watches them leave the room before she begins talking to Dave.
"Do you have Puck's phone?"
"Yeah why?"
"I need it. I am going to download all the pictures of him and Kurt together, the text messages and videos to my phone. They are part of my plan." Santana holds out her hand for the phone.
"What are you going to do with them once you get them on your phone? You're not going to show them to Puck are you?" Dave isn't sure he likes this plan so far. He doesn't want to do anything that would cause Puck not to trust him.
"I am going to send them to a certain hobbit for the next few weekends. Burt took everything away from Kurt. His cell, the Nav, credit cards and Finn will be picking him up every Friday for a while to spend the entire weekend grounded at home. No visitors, no phone calls, no computer use. He will be cut off every weekend, no communication to the hobbit.
So I am going to use this quiet time for the hobbit to start part one of my plan. Kurt isn't allowed to talk to him while he is home so there is no way for him to explain the pictures of him and Puck until he gets back to school and by then the seeds of doubt will be planted with the hobbit." Santana smiles at her own plan.
"How do you know all this stuff?" Dave looks at the girl with half fear and half wonderment.
"I called Finnocence and he was more than happy to send me the hobbit's phone number and email address. He is still mad at Kurt for what he did to Puck and thought Puck needed to know that Burt did discipline Kurt. Finn's punishment is having to pick up Kurt every Friday and driving him back Sunday night. Carole thought it was appropriate too." Santana looks proud of Finn's parents.
"I want Kurt to pay for what he did to Puck. But I don't know if hurting this Blaine guy is the right way to do it." Dave really thinks beating the crap out of Hummel would be enough but he isn't a woman/girl with revenge on her mind.
"Look from what I understand Kurt tricked him into believing that Puck was a stalker. That he wanted to date Kurt but Kurt kept telling Puck no. So the hobbit thinks Puck got what he deserved the other night." Santana watches Dave's expression change immediately with that last bit of information.
"Okay so what is the rest of your evil plan Satan." Dave hands the phone over to her.
"I am going to send the little drama queen pictures of you and Puck happily together. The happiness, the sappiness will drive him insane and Blaine won't understand why Kurt cares so much if Puck is happy or with you. Kurt can't stand to lose, especially to you. That along with the pictures will drive Blaine away from Kurt. And Kurt will have nothing left. He deserves that Dave. He deserves to hurt as much as Puck is over his sorry ass." Santana doesn't realize her tiny hands are now clenched into hard fists until she goes to take the phone from Dave.
"You're on your own Santana. If it works great, but if it doesn't I don't want to lose him over it either. I really care about him and I don't want him hurt anymore. Got it?" Dave looks at her square in the eyes.
"Yeah I got it. You love his cute little ass and would kick my much sexier ass if I hurt him. But it goes both ways. You hurt him and I will fuck up your world so fast you will wish you had never met me." She say with a smile. And Dave can't help but smile back at her.
"I wanted to ask you another question Dave?"
"Okay."
"How are you going to handle being at school and not being at touch him? The way the two of you are, you have to touch each other. And I know that you aren't ready to come out and Puck hasn't really officially come out to the school. Just to the Glee club." Santana is worried about them both. She and Britt really don't have to deal with too much but two guys would, especially these two guys.
Dave hadn't given it much thought. But he knew she was right. Puck wanted to be touched and if he was honest with himself he had to touch Puck.
Elmo loves to cuddle. How are we going to handle it? He feels safe with me. When I hold his hand or I just hold him he is so relaxed and calm. He needs me just as much as I need him. I like looking at his hand in mine. The way his soft dark hair tickles my nose when I am holding him close. His smell. Are we just suppose to act like this weekend never happened?
Santana pulls him from his sad thoughts.
"I have an idea that might work. But you need to find out from Puck if he will be okay with it." Santana looks at him with a smirk.
"If it is anything like your revenge plot against Kurt I don't know if I really want to hear what you have in mind." Dave narrows his eyes at the devil incarnate sitting in front of him.
"Brittany and I will be your girlfriends. That way you two hang around us and still be around each other. It will look strange at first but everyone will get used to it. And most guys will envy you both for dating us. We could be the next power couples of McKinley." Santana's eyes gleam at the thought of the perks that go with being the it couple.
"Stop right there. Now you sound like Fabray or that crazy dwarf chick Berry. Next you will be talking about singing duets and being the Prom couple." Dave just doesn't understand how women/girls think it is so important to be it.
"No just think about it. We could hang out together. Go to the movies. Go out to dinner like real couples do. We could almost be real couples in this town." Santana is caught up in her dreamland thinking about a normal relationship with Brittany.
"Except we would be hiding behind each other in public San. We still couldn't have normal relationships." Dave tells her gently. He feels like she does. That it would be wonderful to take Puck out to dinner or to the movies, but this town would never accept that.
"Just think about it Dave and talk to Puck about it. See what he wants, if he could be happy like this." Santana walks out the front door so Dave or anyone else can see or hear the messages on Puck's phone. "Tell everyone I'll be back in in a minute I'm going to call my folks and check in."
"What does she want you to talk to me about?" Puck had walked in from the kitchen to see if Dave wanted some coffee. "I don't want any secrets Dave. I don't think I could handle them right now."
"No secrets. She just wants something that I don't know if either one of us is ready for and I want to talk to you alone about it. Not here or in front of the girls. We could go back to the park or for a drive if that's okay with you?" Dave reaches out and holds the smaller jock's hand letting his thumb rub across the soft palm.
Puck walks closer to Dave letting his body lean against the big jock's side. "I would like to go on a drive just get out of town for a little while." Puck doesn't realize that his hand is gently rubbing small circles on Dave's chest. He looks up at the green hazel eyes staring down into his and for just a moment he almost kisses Dave. Instead he lets his head rest on his bear's chest.
Naomi tells the boys it is time to eat and she sends Brittany out to the front porch to let Santana know. Everyone gathers in the kitchen for another delicious meal.
Breakfast is latkes, matzah brei, and cheese blintzes. They are some of Puck's favorites. Dave has never had potato pancakes and he falls in love with them. The girls fall in love with the cheese blintzes that are filled with fresh fruit. Everything Naomi cooked was wonderful.
The girls help Naomi clean up the kitchen as the boys get ready to take a drive.
The boys leave, more or less sneaking out so the girls can't follow them. The radio in Dave's truck is playing an old rock song that both boys know and they sing along. Dave pulls Noah closer to him in the seat as the blacktop turns to gravel under the truck tires. Their hands intertwined between them.
Dave stops at an old farm house and parks the truck next to a small pond. He pulls Noah out through the driver's side door and begins to walk towards the quiet place.
The pond is small and secluded with a row of trees blocking the view from the road. The pathway to the dock is made out of old flat stones and wild flowers are fading as the weather is starting to get cooler in Autumn.
Puck is looking around wondering if they are going to get shot or if the police is going to ask them to leave or arrest them for trespassing. But he can't help but think how beautiful and peaceful the place is.
"Dave are we allowed to be out here? Who's place is it?" Puck grips the large hand a little tighter as they walk towards an old dock.
"Mine. It was my grandfather's farm. He died when I was little and left it to me." Dave looks out at the still clear blue water. "I used to spend my summers out here before he passed away. We would fish and there was a small garden back behind the house. I loved coming out here and spending time with him."
"It sounds nice Dave and I'm sorry he's gone." Puck stops walking and wraps his arms around the big guy from behind. He feels Dave relax against him.
"I brought you out here so you could see that I'm not all bad. I do like simple things and I'm not that bad of a person. I like sitting our here fishing or just thinking. Sometimes I even bring a book out here to read. I'm not the person everyone thinks I am Puck." Dave closes his eyes letting his hands hold on to the smaller hands fisted in his shirt. Santana is right. How am I not going to touch him tomorrow? This feels so good and natural. Why can't it be different for us?
Dave squeezes Puck's hands and begins to walk towards the dock again. When the boys reach it they sit at the edge letting their legs dangle over the sides, their bodies touching side by side. Puck reaches for Dave's hand first lacing their fingers together.
"So what did you want to talk to me about Dave? Or should I say what is Satan up too?" Puck says with a smirk as he stares at their hands.
"She is going after Kurt for hurting you for starters. I told her that I didn't want to be a part of it. That I didn't want to lose you or lose your trust." Dave looks out over the water. "And then she came up with another brilliant idea."
"Satan's plans have been known to backfire on her. Thank you for not being a part of it. I like what we have and I don't want or need anymore games. I just want to….bewithyou." Puck says the last three words in jumble.
"What?" Dave isn't sure if he heard the words right or not.
"I said BEAR, that I just want to be with you." Puck looks up into the green eyes losing what was left of his heart to the big guy sitting next to him. "I don't want to lose this, I don't want to lose you. Iwanttobeyours."
Somebody needs to shut me up! Please somebody tape my mouth shut! I sound like such a girl! Am I the girl in this? Is there a girl side in this? I still have Puckzilla so I am definitely not the girl! Does that make Dave the girl? Oh Shit! Stop thinking Puckerman!
"I want you to be mine. I don't want anyone else touching you Puck. When I thought someone was trying to hurt you this morning all I could see was red. I wanted to kill someone for hurting you. I need for you to be mine."
just tell him the truth. All of the truth and see if he runs away screaming. I cant lose him. I need him too much. I care too much. Just say it!
"I was missing something and hurting until the other night. When I held you for the first time all I could think about was how you belonged in my arms, how good it felt to hold you. I never thought about you like that before then. I mean I would be lying if I said I never checked you out but.." Dave looks at the dark hazel eyes that are peeking out from underneath sexy smoky lashes.
"I never thought about you being with me, being mine until I touched you. Your hand belongs in mine. And I know it sounds girly or out of some chick flick but you are all I want in my life Elmo. I'm falling for you and I can't stop myself, I don't want to stop myself." Please say something so I can stop rambling! God I want to kiss those sexy ass lips so bad! It would be my first real kiss! STOP IT! Just cut my dick off! I know I have grown a REAL vagina now!
"I feel the same way Bear. I am falling for you and I don't want to stop either. I just want YOU, not anyone else. I have never needed anyone the way I need you, not even Kurt. I thought he needed me but…
I need you. I need your touch to feel you hold me. It scares me that I need someone. I don't have to be the bad guy, the badass with you. I'm not good with words or feelings, but I want to be yours. Just please don't hurt me. Don't lie to me or cheat on me. And call me Noah cause Elmo just sounds so wrong when we are being all mushy." Puck smiles at Dave, a soft sexy smile.
"Noah. I like it, but only when we are alone. Okay"
"Mmmmhmmm"
The boys are lost in each other's eyes their lips slowly finding their way to meet. Dave places his hand softly against Noah's cheek cupping it gently. He pauses long enough to stare at the eyes that hold his heart as one simple word slips out before capturing Noah's lips with his own…"MINE"
The kiss is slow and chaste at first. Lips gently moving against each other. The intensity grows as Dave suckles Noah's bottom lip between his moaning when he hears the soft whimper from Noah. Dave pulls him down on top of him never leaving Noah's lips.
He can feel Noah's hands in his hair gently fisting his hands in the soft tresses. Dave lets his tongue tease Noah's bottom lip until the dark teen moans and Dave takes control of the kiss deepening it. His tongue coaxing Noah's out stroking it and suckling on it. He feels Noah arching into his body at the feel of it.
Dave flips them so that Noah is on the bottom being careful not to roll them off the small dock. He pulls back to stare at the kiss swollen red lips, the blush that is creeping up Noah's cheeks, and into the eyes that are shining with love and lust both. "You are so beautiful to me. My first real kiss. The first time I have ever given my heart to anyone. You are mine Noah and I will try to never hurt you. I promise." Dave leans in for another kiss feeling Noah wrap his arms around him holding on tight. They finally break apart after several minutes of intense kissing and promising not to hurt each other.
Oh God! I almost came just from kissing him! My whole body is tingling! The way he tastes! Cinnamon…Fruity…I have never been that hard so fast! I just wanted to…touch him, every part of him. Mark him so that everyone would know that he is MINE!
SHIT! My toes just curled in my boots! My heart wont stop beating so hard like it is going to explode! I wanted him to take control! To make me his! Dammit! I leaked so much…my boxers have a wet spot! I could have just came from the kissing! I can't think straight when he kisses me! I just feel so…complete! That's a good word. It's like I'm a part of him when he kisses me! I have never felt this way before! Somebody hand me my balls back! I am really turning into a freaking girl!
Dave props himself up on his elbow gently tracing Noah's jaw line with the tip of his finger. He can tell Noah is lost in thought by the crease of his brow and the way he chews on that sexy bottom lip.
"You okay Noah? I mean I didn't make you do something…"
"No. I was thinking about kissing you. And how you made me feel."
"Was I bad at it or something cause I never really kissed a guy before. Well I did assault Kurt that time but I don't count that…I never even really kissed a lot girls either so I'm sorry if it sucked for you." Dave rambles for a minute.
"There was nothing wrong with the kissing, It was good, really good." Puck says blushing to his toes looking away from Dave's eyes.
Dave smiles down at the smiling jock underneath him. "I thought it was too."
"Noah we need to talk about tomorrow. It's going to be hard not to touch you at school, to want to hold your hand or now to kiss you. But I don't know if I am ready to come out or if you are either." Dave laces their fingers together feeling the warmth between them.
"I have been trying not to think about tomorrow. I know you you're not ready Dave and neither am I. I don't want anyone trying to hurt you because we are together and the guys would hurt you if you came out with me as a couple. I guess we just act like this never happened when we go back tomorrow." Noah hates the way the world works.
"Santana offer a solution but I told her no."
"What kind of solution? Knowing Satan it would mean selling our souls to her." Noah snorts at his own comment.
"She said that her and Brittany could be our girlfriends so we could hang out together and still be close to each other." Dave looks at Noah trying to read how he felt about it.
"I don't think people would buy it. I mean everyone knows how they feel about each other even if no one talks about them." Noah kinda wants to try it but is afraid Dave doesn't.
"San said that people would get used to it. She said if we coupled up with them then we could go out on dates, to dinner, out to the movies. I think she wants it for them just as much as she is offering it to us. We could almost be normal couples she said." Dave starts to think about what it would be like to take Noah on a real date.
"Do you want to try it Dave?" Noah looks at his boyfriend with a thoughtful expression.
"Only if you do. We would still be hiding that we are together but at least we could be around each other without too much being said about it." Dave would do anything for beautiful boy.
Noah reaches up and kisses Dave in a slow deep kiss then pulling back to smile at him. "I get Brittany."
"Wha? Why do I get stuck with Satan? I just want to kill most of the time!" Dave glares at the Jewish boy not believing they are going to try this let alone he gets stuck with SATAN!
"That's why. I don't have to worry about you wanting to do her and its going to be fun watching the two of you pretend to be a couple." Noah laughs at the expression on Dave's face.
"You don't have to worry about me doing her anyways. Not my type. I like cuddly tickle me Elmo's." Dave smiles evilly at Noah before he begins to tickle him. He stops when Noah's face is streaked with tears from all the laughter. He kisses the boy that holds his heart and his future in his hands.
