A/N: This popped into my head while I was flying home from New York and I had to post it. Gloria(the muse) was inspired Regina Spektor's Samson. Go listen, it is an awesome song. I don't own Glee or Samson, if only...

"I cut his hair myself one night, a pair of dull scissors in the yellow light, and he

told me I'd done all right and kissed me 'till the morning light."

Rachel Berry took a deep breath and knocked n the door in front of her. The dark clouds behind her were appropriate for her mood, and she shivered as she heard the distant sound of thunder. Glancing down to the plate of cookies she smiled at her handiwork, these were some of her best "I'm sorry" cookies to date. The door opened to reveal a shirtless Noah Puckerman.

"What do you want Berry?"

"I uh came to bring you these." Rachel said thrusting the plate of cookies forward and tearing her eyes away from his perfectly sculpted abs, "and to apologize for my actions earlier this week."

"Cookies don't make up for anything." Puck said stuffing one into his mouth.

"Well it's a start and if you would be kind enough to invite me in I would like to properly apologize." Puck just stared at her, "Can I come in?"

"Sure." Rachel walked into the house and followed Puck upstairs into his bedroom. Rachel's mouth fell open, his room was actually clean and she was impressed by his record collection and guitar in the corner. "Don't look so surprised. I am not a pig."

"Debatable. It is just so unexpected." Puck walked through a door and Rachel glanced around his room. It was really quite nice and she smiled as she saw a picture on his dresser of his mom. This was not the Puck she was used to.

"Are you going to apologize or not?" Puck asked from the other room.

"Yes, sorry." Rachel said walking to the door he had gone through, but stopped when she saw that it was a bathroom, "Um, what are you doing?"

"Fixing my mohawk," Puck said holding the razor up, "I have plans tonight that you are not going to ruin."

"I'm sorry, I never thought about what plans you would have before I came over here. I can leave and come back another time if that would be more convenient for you."

"No. Just get it over with."

"Okay." Rachel walked over to the bathtub and sat on the side and shivered as she heard the thunder getting closer. She hated storms. "I wanted to apologize for telling Finn about you and Quinn. I was only thinking about myself and I did not think about how this would affect everybody's life. I hurt people that I care about and because of my actions things will never be the same and there will always be a rift between two best friends and I am appalled that I caused it." Rachel jumped as a clap of thunder shook the house and the lights went out, "Fuck!"

"Did you just cuss Berry? I'm impressed." Puck said laughing.

"Yes and it was very unladylike, I just hate storms. Ever since I was little I have found them to be extremely unpleasant. Plus the dark is just plain creepy." Puck started laughing even harder, "It is not funny."

"Yes it is." Puck said continuing to laugh, "I think there are some candles around here somewhere, I'll go get them. Will you be all right?"

"I can take care of myself." Puck held up his hands and backed out of the bathroom.

Rachel took deep breaths to calm down and was doing okay until lighting lit up the sky outside and was followed by another huge clap of thunder, "Puck, hurry!"

"You okay? You don't look so good."

"That's what every girl wants to hear." Rachel said defensively.

"You know what I mean." Puck said lighting the candles.

"I will be okay, thank you for asking. The candles help a lot." Puck resumed to finish shaving his head and Rachel resumed her apology, "I'm also sorry that I did not confront you before I went and talked to Finn. I should have come and talked to you and given you the opportunity to go to Finn before I told him. The truth would have been much easier coming from you and I did not think about this. I was once again thinking selfishly."

"Are you almost finished?"

"No, I am not even halfway done with my apology. I still have a lot more points to cover before I am finished."

"That's what I figured. If I accept your apology will you stop talking?"

"I suppose."

"Fine, I accept you apology."

"That was easier than I expected."

"Honestly I am kind of glad that you told him. I was tired of lying to my best friend but Quinn wouldn't let me tell him the truth. It is better in some sick twisted way now that he knows." Puck said sitting down on the bathtub next to Rachel. Rachel has no idea what to say, this was the most heartfelt thing she had ever heard Puck say and she didn't want to ruin the moment. Another clap of thunder shook the house and Rachel involuntarily scooted closer to Puck. They continued to sit in silence with their shoulders touching.

"You missed a spot." Rachel said pointing to a spot on his head that had longer hair when she could no longer take the silence.

"My mom usually helps me." Rachel silently let out an "aww" because it was one of the most adorable things ever, but kept her mouth shut, she didn't want Puck to kick her out.

"If you would like me to, I could me of some assistance."

"Like I am stupid enough to let you come near my head with a razor."

"You act like I am crazy and I am going to cut off your ear." Puck just smirked at her, "Nothing bad is going to happen, plus it might take my mind of this storm."

"I know of some other things we can do that would take your mind of this storm." Puck said waggling his eyebrows.

"That's disgusting. Do you want my help?"

"Whatever."

"Whatever is not an appropriate answer to that question. The appropriate answer would either be yes or no, so which is it?"

"Sure." Rachel smiled and stood up and motioned for him to stand as well.

"I don't think this is going to work." Rachel said motioning between the height difference.

"I'll get a chair." Puck grabbed his desk chair and set it in front of the mirror. Rachel grabbed the razor as Puck sat down, "You sure you can do this?"

"No idea, but how hard can it be. Now sit still I don't want to cut you." Rachel set to work on making his mohawk even. Puck thought it was pretty hot how the tip of her tongue slipped out when she was concentrating. "How does that look?"

"Not bad Berry." Puck said standing up and taking a closer look in the mirror.

"Thank you." Rachel put a hand on his shoulder and pulled him back down to the chair, and started to wipe the excess shaving cream off his head.

Puck had no idea what possessed him, but he grabbed Rachel's wrist and pulled her onto his lap and kissed her. He figured she was going to slap him but was pleasantly surprised when she kissed him back. The lights flickered back on and Rachel pulled away.

"I uh have to go." Rachel said standing up and darting out of the room.

"Thanks mom." Rachel blinked and returned to the present.

"Sure honey." Rachel said smiling down at her son.

"I'm going to go play." Joshua said running into the backyard, "Dad! Look what mom did." Joshua said pointing to his head.

"Dude, that's awesome. Did you say thank you?"

"Yep."

"Okay, go play." Puck walked over to the back door where Rachel was leaning against the door jam, "You gave him a mohawk?" Puck asked laughing.

"Yes, I figured it was about time one of the Puckerman men was a badass." Rachel said running a hand through his full head of hair.

"Ha ha, very funny."

"I miss your mohawk."

"Of course you do, it turned you on." Puck kissed Rachel, "What are you smiling about crazy?"

"I was remembering the first time I helped you with your mohawk."

"I still can't believe you ran away after I kissed you."

"I kissed you back, and I did not run away. I had plans."

"You avoided me for a week after."

"I did not, I was busy."

"You really should stop lying to yourself, you have been doing it for seven years, that can not be healthy. I was such a good kisser that you had to run away."

"Don't flatter yourself, you are not that good of a kisser."

"I must have been doing something right if I got you to marry me and we have a kid."

"Luck. Your kissing had nothing to do with it."

"Oh really? I think I will just have to change your mind." Puck said grabbing her waist and pulling her to him, "I love you." Puck said closing the distance and kissing her.

"Ewww! Gross!" Joshua said covering his eyes.

A/N: I hope the ending made sense. (crosses fingers) I love this story and would love to hear your opinions.
