Mercedes grinned stepping into the club, Shane was holding the door for her and her grandmother, she never really said great, great, great grandmother unless she was making a point at which grandmother she was speaking of so she didn't have to worry about slipping in front of the mortals. "Thank you young man." Oshun nodded to him as she stepped by.
"You're welcome grandmother." he smiled, she'd given her blessing on the relationship telling him to call her grandmother.
"The moms are over ther..." Mercedes stopped, Hera was at the table as well, slightly hesitating she whispered to her grandmother "Do we," meaning her grandmother "have a problem with Hera?'
"No." patting Mercedes on the arm she gestured her forward "She is brash, she is loud but we have no quarrels." Oshun smiled seeing Quinn, Santana and Brittany appear next to the table.
Santana couldn't help but smirk and murmur to her mother "Oshun has a built in bodyguard with Shane."
"Like I don't have the same with you?" her mother teased causing Santana to scoff, her mother could take care of herself.
Santana and Quinn nodded to Oshun as she approached, Pierce stood smiling with his little box of cookies in hand, "Pierce this is Mercedes's grandmother Oshun, Oshun this is Brittany's friend and excellent cook Pierce." Santana introduced the little Korean man.
Smiling he held out the box "It's just a little present, Yakgwa."
"Oh." Oshun took the box, she had heard of the honey cookies. "Thank you Mr..."
"It's Pierce." Brittany chirped "he goes by his last name."
"Thank you Mr. Pierce." Oshun gave her head a little bob.
"Pleasure to see you again." Judy and Maribel also gave a little nod.
"You as well." she nodded to the duo before settling her eyes on Hera.
"Sue this is Oshun, Oshun this is Sue." Quinn nodded to the lanky woman in the track suit, she couldn't give her the full introduction with the mortals at the table. And she wasn't aged enough to appear as their grandmother.
"Pleasure to meet you." Sue said holding out her hand.
"You as well."
"Nice to see you again." Millie smiled.
"You two are also new." she looked at Brittany's mom and B'sst.
"This is my mom Whitney and my godsmother B'sst, this is Mercedes's Grandma, she's nice." the three women nodded to one another knowing they would talk more when the mortals weren't at the table.
"It's the parents table." Judy explained gesturing to the empty space next to Millie.
"Ah, yes." Sitting down she grinned "Let us talk about the children."
"I suddenly don't think this is a good idea." Santana pursed her lips shaking her head.
"We'll be fine," Sue smirked "Go play."
Knowing she was dismissed Santana gave the table a slight bow, grabbing Brittany and Quinn's hands she tugged them away mumbling "So much trouble." Quinn couldn't help but laugh. "Just for that let's go get your boy." Santana tightened her grip on Quinn's hand tugging her in the direction of the god. "Son of a..." Finn was heading her way "Britt take her to Puckerman, I'll deal with the Green Giant." releasing them Santana headed straight for Finn. "You, come with me." she pointed at him gesturing to follow her as she headed in a different direction from the girls.
"Hi Noah." Brittany smiled.
"Hi Brittany." he smiled with a bit of relief in his voice, she was actually the only person he really knew, Finn was his mortal friend, or becoming his friend, they hadn't known each other that long.
"This is my friend Quinn, she's Santana's sister." Brittany introduced her "I'm gonna go talk to Matt, my office is open." bouncing away Brittany gave a little wave "Bye."
"Ah...hello again." Puck gave an awkward smile.
"Hi." Quinn returned it with a slightly nervous one of her own, she hadn't expected Brittany to ditch her.
Opening the supply room door Santana pointed to the top shelf "I need that."
"Oh, okay." As soon as Finn stepped in the room Santana closed and locked the door "Hey!" pounding on the door Finn yelled "Let me out!"
"Be a good boy and stay put, I'll be right back." Santana promised with a grin.
"Can we go somewhere private to talk?" Quinn asked, Puck glanced around "Santana's fine with this and if you give me five minutes I will explain why."
"Okay." he nodded, hesitating he took the hand that Quinn had offered, looking down when he felt the shock.
Walking him to Brittany's office she chuckled seeing Santana dealing with Rachel, she wasn't sure what Santana had told the girl but Rachel was following her into the same hall she'd disappeared down with Finn.
Opening the door she stepped in first, sitting on the edge of Brittany's cluttered desk she couldn't help but smile at the obviously new pictures that hung on the wall, the three of them and then just Brittany with Santana. Puck closed the door behind him remaining by it to give her some space.
Giving a quick nervous inhale Quinn asked "Do you remember when we first met?"
"Yes." he nodded, it had been a hundred years but that was really just a blink of an eye. "Your sister threatened to crack my nuts and shave my head."
"Sorry about that," Quinn cringed "she didn't know."
"Didn't know what?"
"I understand your kind doesn't believe in soul mates." Quinn said.
"We have other things," he explained "it wasn't until the new Norse god arrived that they even had a word for it."
"My kind believes in soul mates," she gestured Puck to the chair next to her, sitting he waited, "I'm sure you've heard the rumor that Santana has found her soul mate." he nodded, Brittany almost always called Santana her soul mate, "Well it's true." listening as she told the story of the soul mates from the Greek perspective and how Santana and Brittany met, and how she was able to 'see' a person's soul mate by taking their hand. "Brittany thinks Santana and I are something called Twin Flames, a part of the same soul but not soul mates.
"We have that, Freyja and Freyr," Puck said "the twins."
"Some say Twin Flames are soul mates others say they're not, obviously in Santana and my case it's not, she has Brittany and I..." Quinn paused before softly saying "I have you."
Puck sat quiet for a moment, she saw no change of expression on his face "Did you know this when we met?"
"Yes." she murmured.
"But you didn't stop her from taking you away from me." he didn't sound angry but she couldn't tell, she didn't know him.
She didn't want to sound mean, she didn't want to throw how he used to be in his face but she couldn't exactly lie to him either "I...didn't think you'd be ready for a one on one relationship, you had already slept with three..."
Puck held up his hand, "I get it, I know how I was." it had been an all day party and he had slept with many of the women in attendance.
"I just didn't want to be another notch on your bedpost." Quinn admitted. "And I know what happens to soul mates who meet when they're not ready, I'm dealing with it now. You've met him, the manager Blaine, he's already met and dated his soul mate but according to Brittany, Tina and Mike, they would fight and break up and make up, flirt with other people but they never talked through anything. And it's been that way since high school."
"Sounds a mess."
"I didn't, don't want that for us." Quinn shook her head.
Puck paused for a moment before saying "I don't think I would have been a good match back then."
"I know I should have told you."
"I would have made fun of you," he admitted shaking his head "I was all about the partying I made fun of the couples, I wasn't about love, that is my great grandmother Freyja's job, my dad is a god of sexuality and so is my mother." he wasn't trying to give her an excuse, just explain. "I felt pulled to you but it didn't stop me from sleeping with other people at the party."
"Soul mates feel a pull, a shock when they touch, an exchange of energies when they continue touching."
Curious he reached his hand for hers, seeing this she took his hand, he looked at it feeling the same shock he'd felt their first meeting and just moments ago when he took her hand to follow her, keeping ahold he felt the flow of energy she had mentioned. She couldn't help but smile when he did "Weird, but a nice weird." he chuckled looking up. Releasing her hand he asked "So what are we supposed to do? I can't drop everything and follow you like a puppy."
"And I wouldn't ask you to," she promised "I have Santana, I can't leave her and you can't leave your brother and sister, we just need to take things at our pace and if that means taking your sister on a date or double dating with Santana and Brittany then that's what we do."
"Coffee date?"
"I mean San's the coffee fiend," Quinn chuckled "but yes we can grab coffee or donut anything with bacon really." Puck nodded with a chuckle, he'd heard that. "Wanna help me trap another pair of soul mates once they're drunk enough?" she asked with a grin.
"Blaine right?" Puck asked standing up and offering his hand, she nodded accepting his hand. "I'm in."
