A/N Random one shot just sort of following up to Club, written for Kimmy as usual :D
Club 2
"Where are you going?" Rachel moaned rolling over and looking up at her boyfriend who was in the process of zipping up his fly, a quick glance out of the window confirming her suspicion that it was still dark out.
"Gotta get back to mine and pick up my books, I didn't want to take them to the club last night but forgot I needed them this morning" Puck explained sweeping down to press a kiss to Rachel's pouting lips quickly, only pausing to nip at the playfully before pulling back and looking for his shirt which had been tossed somewhere in the rush to get undressed last night.
"But why do you need to leave so early? It's not even six yet" Rachel complained for the umpteenth time in their three month relationship. "I'M not up this early"
"You don't have to get to Brooklyn and back before nine am" Puck explained laughingly again giving up on his shirt and getting into bed again to pull her close, knowing his demanding and high strung girlfriend would not be happy till a morning cuddle had been completed.
"I could order you a car" Rachel said brightly, both of them following to the script as usual
"And I'd just get caught in traffic" Puck smiled again, wondering why he never got frustrated by their constant rehashing of this conversation five times a week, scooting down and wrapping an arm around her tighter he let his hand slip into the boxers she had liberated from him to sleep in, her legs automatically falling apart as he worked her to a quick release.
Finally regaining feelings in her legs again twenty minutes later Rachel roused herself from her post-coital haze to press her lips against his before he slipped away into the dark Manhattan morning, she frustrated that he couldn't stay, but too sated to complain anymore.
"Hey baby" Puck said hours later as Rachel appeared beside him in the library he was working in, her appearance creating a stir with everyone in there as they realised the international superstar that was Rachel Berry was in the midst. Yep Noah Puckerman was the regular Joe dating the hottest movie star in the world, ok it helped that there was like twenty years of history there and they had known each other since Kindergarten, but they had only begun dating after been separated for two years, something the press stressed about a lot.
"Hi" Rachel said brightly plopping into a chair next to him, grabbing his neck and dragging his lips to hers, ignoring the flashes that went off around them as Puck responded eagerly not needing his girlfriend's insistent hands on his neck.
"Why you here?" he asked breathlessly as he pulled back, his lungs demanding oxygen and the clearing off the librarians throat behind them.
"Coffee?" asked Rachel looking over her boyfriends shoulder and smiling apologetically at the librarian as Puck agreed and stuffed his book and notebook into his backpack, taking Rachel's hand as she hugged his arm as they walked.
"So why you here?" he asked again, both of them ignoring the constant presence of paparazzi off to the side as they headed for the nearest coffee cart.
"Well I had a thought and I just couldn't resist coming over and finding out your opinion because I'm recklessly impulsive and had a free few hours"
Used to his girlfriends rambling Puck ordered two coffees and guided her over to the nearest bench with a hand on the small of her back, as he listened to her ramble about everything she had already done all day.
"Cool, so what was this thought?" asked Puck for the third time as Rachel finally paused
"Well I obviously live closer to the university of course, and I wanted you to have a think, only a think, I'm not rushing you into anything because of course I know you and you sometimes irrational fear of commitment, about possibly giving up your apartment in Brooklyn and moving in with me. I have that big apartment to myself mostly, and you spend most nights with me anyway, and of course it will save you money, and I will fully admit that I have ulterior motives in that I hate you leaving so early every day and would love you to be there all the time. But as I said I do not want to put any undue pressure on the relationship and I know we have only been together for a few months, but we have known each other so long, and I really do..."
Puck shook his head in amusement and pressed his mouth against hers quickly, a sure fire way of making her stop talking, her tendency to ramble controlled in interviews and the public meant her word vomit was sometimes worse with the people who knew her well.
"I'll think about it gorgeous I promise" he murmured against her lips, already knowing that he was going to take her up on her offer but if he had agreed with her straight away she would worry about forcing him into agreeing.
"Good" Rachel said pulling back a little and beaming up at him before kissing him firmly again his hands reaching for both of their cups and dropping them into the bin before winding his arms around her and pulling her closer, content to spend the next half an hour before his next class with his girl.
Running his fingers through her hair as he kissed her idly, their kisses casual and sweet punctured with talks about Rachel's club that Matt ran for her and plans for the fast approaching Hanukah, Puck let his mind drift off as Rachel discussed the events she was required to attend, and him by proxy.
Three months ago when Rachel had basically let him seduce her in the office of her club he had been worried about where it would leave him, his decision and long thought out plan to come to New York and finally get the girl at risk by an impulse to give into Rachel. But Rachel hadn't let him worry too much, she had dragged him home got him naked and not allowed him to leave for a week before school started, as far as she was concerned they were now a couple and there was no need for a discussion on the matter. Puck finally getting what he wanted and avoiding the awkward conversation about feelings wasn't going to argue, now he was ready to move in with her and he still hadn't told her his real feelings.
"I have class baby" Puck said regretfully, dragging himself out of his thoughts and glancing at his watch.
"Ok" Rachel said brightly getting up with him to kiss him goodbye and hug him tightly "I have an interview at Marie Claire but I'll see you later?"
"I'll meet you at yours much later" Puck promised her leaning over and kissing her again before she went off towards a cab and he headed for class, pulling his phone out of his pocket as he did calling in a favour with his boys as he did.
Rachel walked into her apartment slowly, her feet killing her in the four inch heels that she had fallen in love with but her feet hated, kicking them off she headed further into the large apartment searching for her boyfriend who should have beaten her here.
"Hey BB" Mike said brightly as Rachel walked into the kitchen
"Hello" Rachel said brightly hugging him as she padded in her bare feet to the refrigerator and got a bottle of water "I didn't realise you two would be here tonight" she continued, knowing where Mike went Matt went as well.
"Won't be here long" Mike shrugged as Matt came to join them "Matt has work tonight because my dance team is appearing there and he has something he needs to do"
"Yes Mike, it is my club" Rachel said gently rolling his eyes at Mike "and it was my idea to hire LSD for the dance expo, because I opened the club because there wasn't anywhere to dance in this city"
"Being a fool again I see" Matt drawled hugging Rachel around the shoulders in greeting.
"But he does it so well" Rachel said brightly smiling at her friend who scowled in annoyance and mock hurt feelings before they both said goodbye and headed out to their respective engagements, Rachel and Puck planning a quiet night in for once, something which didn't happen often.
Padding her way through her apartment she stopped at her bedroom entrance as she watched her boyfriend unpack his clothes into the empty half of the wardrobe, his guitar in the corner, walking through the living room she had seen the new additions to her DVD and book shelves.
"I thought you were going to think about it" Rachel commented leaning against the door jamb as he turned to look at her smiling sheepishly.
"Well I've only been thinking of it for about five years" Puck shrugged "didn't want to drag it out to long"
Rachel smiled and ran at her boyfriend who caught her as she jumped into his arms, her smile warming him and making him feel like the man in the only way she could, it was like making her happy was all that was required to make him feel complete and content.
"No more my boyfriend leaving at five" Rachel said happily bouncing in his arms a little as he spun them around and they collapsed on the bed together, Puck on top of her his weight supported on his arms as he loomed over her.
"No leaving my girlfriend" Puck agreed happily leaning down to kiss her before backing up a little and pulling her up with him, wanting this to come across right and not have to connotations everyone would expect of him when he would finally say those three words right.
"Something wrong?" Rachel asked as she was pulled into a sitting up position.
"No something very right" Puck smiled "something I should have told you years ago"
"Which is?" Rachel asked her heart in her throat as it beat uncontrollably
"I love you" Puck whispered know that she had been expecting her to say those three words, Rachel squealed, acting completely unlike her twenty three years, as she threw her arms around his neck and moved to straddle his lap.
"I love you too" she squealed before pressing kisses to her face, as many as she could, wherever she could, tugging insistently at his t-shirt and over his head "I would say we should have a recap of our first time, but I like the idea of slow and sensual" Rachel murmured rolling them over and pulling him down on top of her again.
