Hi guys! I've been having a bit of a case of writer's block for We Came Back Stronger. So for anyone who is reading that, I'll will try to update soon. But in the meantime, this idea just hit me and won't go away. So I thought that maybe publishing it will help. This is going to be pretty AU. For now Puck is going to be Noah but he still has the mohawk. Hope you like it!

Hiding My Love For You

It all started on the first day of the small building known as William McKinley Elementary School. Finn Hudson was a short boy who was excited for his first day of school. His first day of Kindergarten. His mom had told him that it was going to be fun and she hasn't lied to him before. So he was bouncing in his booster seat in the car.

"Finn are you ready?" Carol asked as she parked the car and helped him out of the car. Carol Hudson was a single mother. Her husband had sadly passed serving his country and keeping his family safe. She acted strong in front of her son, not wanting him to see her weak. But once in awhile the little boy caught his mom crying and said things like It's ok, Mommy. I'm going to take care of you. The two of them had a very close relationship.

"Yeah, Mommy. You told me it's going to be fun. I believe you." Finn grabbed his mom's hand and walked with her to the door to his classroom. "Mommy, look it's Noah!" Finn pointed to a boy with a mohawk with his mom on the other side of the room.

The short boy practically ran over to his best friend with his mother in tow. "Hey Finn." the mohawked boy said.

"Hi Noah." Noah Puckerman was a bit taller than Finn. His dad had taken him to the barber shop once and asked him to give the boy a 'hawk. When his mom freaked, Noah's dad just said that it made his boy look badass. Noah didn't know what that meant but he thought his haircut made him look cool. He and Finn were like brothers, whenever you saw one, you could almost always find the other all feet away. The boy's mothers have also been best friends since their childhood. So it wasn't that big of a surprise when their two boys became best friends.

"Hello, Carol." Noah's mom greeted her long time friend.

"Hey, Deborah. How are you doing?"

"I'm fine. This little one over here has been bugging me nonstop about finally starting school. So I'm glad that the day has come and he wouldn't wake me up every morning going Mama! Mama! School starts on Monday right?" They two women shared a laugh before they were approached by a middle aged women.

"Hello, ladies. Are these your kids?" They both nodded. "Ok. My name is Mrs. Simpson. I'm their teacher."

"Well, it's nice to meet you, Mrs. Simpson. I'm Carol and this is my son, Finn." She gave her son a little push forward. "Say hi, Finn."

"Hi. My name is Finn Hudson." He smiled as he looked around the room instead of at the teacher.

"Hello Finn. And who might you be?" The teacher looked over at Noah.

"My name is Noah. Noah Puckerman." Noah had his arms folded across his chests like his dad taught him he should do when meeting new people.

"Why hello there. Class is going to start in a few minutes. How about you boys say bye to your moms and then go sit on the rug over there, ok?" After the boys nodded, the lady went around to meet all the other parents.

"Well boys, this is it. We gotta head home, but we'll be back later to pick you guys up after school."

"Have fun today boys. And don't get into any trouble, you hear me?" The women kissed their boys heads before walking out the door.

Finn and Noah then made their way to the rug that Mrs. Simpson was talking about earlier. They sat near the back, hoping that it would make them look cooler than sitting right in front of the teacher. Noah's older cousin told them that sitting right in front of the teacher on the first day of school will make them look like losers when they grow up.

The beginning of class wasn't too exciting for the boys. They just went around getting to know each other. Then the teacher announced that they were going to go outside for recess. Then when they come inside she was going to assign them to table groups. As they walked outside, the teacher handed each student a fruit. Finn chose a banana and Noah picked an apple.

They walked outside and talked. Noah had just told a joke that had the two boys doubled over, laughing. Finn stopped abruptly when he noticed a little blonde girl sitting alone. He looked over and stared, Noah still laughing beside him. He walked over to the girl, momentarily leaving his best friend behind.

"Hi." Finn whispered.

"H-H-Hi." She turned her head for her eyes to meet the chocolate brown ones in front of her. She took her sleeve to wipe away the leftover tears that had fallen a little while ago. Leaving her eyes still slightly puffy and red. This didn't go unnoticed by Finn.

"Are you ok?"

"I'm fine."

"No you're not." Finn insisted. "You were crying. Why were you crying?" Finn barely knows this girl but he wants to make her feel better.

"I-I miss my mommy." The blonde choked out.

Finn grabbed her hand and held it. He slowly rubbed the back of it with his thumb, in a comforting way. He's had plenty of practice comforting a crying girl with his mom. "It's ok. I miss my mom too." The girl looked up at him again and smiled. "My name's Finn Hudson."

"I'm Quinn. Quinn Fabray." She answered, tears finally stopped falling when she realized the comfort that the boy she had just met was offering.

It wasn't long before they were joined by Noah. "Finn what are you doing? Don't you know that girls have cooties?" Noah asked making sure to keep his distance and sit on the other side of his friend.

"I don't think this one does. She's too pretty to have them." Finn replied like it was completely obvious that this girl was really pretty. "Noah this is Quinn. Quinn this is Noah, my best friend." Quinn shyly waved at the boy and Puck just awkwardly smiled at her. "Do you want to play with us?" She looked at Finn and nodded.

The three of them played on the playground for a bit. Talking a little bit here and there to learn a little about their new friend. Eventually the entire class was called back into the classroom where the teacher assigned them colored tables as they walked in.

Luckily, the three of them were all assigned to the same table. The blue table which happened to be both Finn and Quinn's favorite color. Noah on the other hand was wishing that they would have gotten the green table. But oh well.

Mrs. Simpson then put a one piece of construction paper that matched the table's assigned color. Then she went back around and put a box of crayons, one for each table.

"Alright, kids today I just want you to draw whatever you want. It could be your favorite sport, your favorite game, your favorite thing, anything you want. When everyone is finished we'll have nap time, then you can all go home."

Twenty minutes later, Finn's table was finished.

"What did you draw, Quinn?" She picked up her drawing and showed the boys. "Wow that's a pretty rainbow. What about you, Noah?" Noah had drawn a football.

"What did you draw, Finn?" Finn revealed his drawing. It was a drawing of the tree of them. Well more like colored stick figures with hair. The only way you could tell it was the three of them was the fact that Finn wrote all their names above the corresponding picture. "Wow Finn that looks really good."

"Yeah it's supposed to be the three of us. We're all friends now right?" His best friend rolled his eyes before nodding and Quinn just sat there smiling. She then too nodded her head.

"Ok everyone looks like they are done. Nap time!" Mrs. Simpson announced. She opened up a cupboard that was filled with pillows and blankets. The kids lined up and one by one grabbed a pillow and blanket.

Finn, Quinn, and Noah went over to the corner. They laid in a line Finn sleeping in the middle. Mostly because Noah complained that he would catch Quinn's cooties if he slept next to her. Finn was then put to take the fall but he didn't mind. He liked Quinn and thought she was very pretty.

"Thank you, Finn. For being my friend." He heard Quinn whisper before she fell asleep. He was happy and let a smile try to express it. But it wasn't enough. He was happy that they were friends and that he was able to make her feel better from earlier when she was crying. Finn turned on his side to face Quinn. He looked at her and stared thinking that she was one of the prettiest girls he has ever seen. The feeling that he was able to place the smile that was plastered onto the sleeping girls face, pleased him. He watched her sleep before the longing for a nap overpowered him and let his eyes close.

Everything seemed so simple. What they didn't know was that all of that was going to slowly change.
