Chapter Thirteen

Love the reviews! Keep them coming!

Don't own Glee.

It took Puck two weeks to be released from the hospital, in fact he and Blaine were released within days of each other. Blaine stayed with the Hummels while he continued to heal, he had begged his mother. She figured he'd almost died and thought that the best thing for him would to be taken care of by Kurt, so she agreed. Puck was asleep in his room, the pain pills knocking him out every time he took them. Puck was feeling much better than he had been, the only thing hurting is the stitches that would be coming out in a few days. Finn and Kurt were downstairs, both boys were asleep so they decided to take the free time to do some homework in the dining room, not wanting to disturb their boyfriends. Kurt looked over at Finn, he seemed so happy recently, even though they were attacked, almost losing the boys they loved..he was happy.

"Could you have pictured this a year ago?"

Finn looked up confused, "what doing our homework?"

He rolled his eyes, "no us down here while our boyfriends were asleep upstairs".

"Oh, yeah I would've told you that was crazy. Although I did love him then, but I buried it for so long, I'm happy, so stupidly happy it's not funny".

"I know, and I'm glad, you deserve to be happy..both of you do".

They were interrupted by a almost too soft voice hollering from upstairs, "Finn, where'd you go?"

Finn smiled, "he must be hungry now, can you make them both a sandwhich while I go make sure they are alright?"

Kurt nodded, "don't wake Blaine if he's still asleep".

Finn walked upstairs, first stopping at Kurt's room, quietly opening the door, seeing Blaine laying in the bed, but awake.

"You hungry man?"

Blaine nodded, "yeah, is Kurt making something?"

He nodded, "just stay there he'll bring it up to you, I'm gonna go see if Noah's alright, you need anything?"

He shook his head, closing his eyes again.

Finn padded down the hall to the extra room that had become Puck's, he opened the door.

"Why'd you leave?"

Finn smiled, "you okay, did you have another nightmare?"

Puck looked away from him, and nodded, "same one".

Finn sat down on the bed beside him, gathering Puck in his arms, "you don't have to be embarrased, I have them too".

"Yeah but I'm Puck, things aren't supposed to bother me".

"No you're not Puck, you're Noah, and Noah is human, Noah is the man I love, who loves me. He is the one who takes my breath away by just looking at me. He is the one I want to kiss every time I see him. He's the one who when he gets better I want to make love with until neither of us can move".

Puck's eyes widened, "really?"

Finn smiled and nodded, "that's one thing I thought of when I saw you lying there in the hospital. That you would die and I wouldn't have those memories, I wouldn't be able to close my eyes and imagine the way your hands felt on me. I decided then that if you made it through, once you were okay that I wanted to do this, I needed this, we needed this-"

Puck cut him off with his lips, and Finn realized it was the most intense kiss they'd ever shared. It wasn't sexual, they knew that was happening for a while. But as Puck's lips traveled down Finn's neck, he felt the tears mixed in. He grabbed his boyfriend's head and pulled him back up to look at him, "Noah, what's wrong?"

"Fucking hate crying", Finn laughed at his roughly wiping the tears from his eyes.

"I just love you, like a lot, like more than I've ever loved anyone or anything. I made a promise too, to never let you go a day without knowing that, without making you feel loved and wanted and all that other mushy crap. I want everything you said, everything you want..and I'll try till the day I die to make all of it happen. I want babies with you, I want a house, a life, I don't know how we're going to do it..but damn it, Finn I promise you I will".

Finn was crying and laughing, and smiling, Puck just looked at him and smiled, "God you're beautiful".

Puck lay back down, pulling Finn with him, cupping his face in his hand, rubbing his thumb along his cheek. He started to sing softly to Finn a song he told Finn he'd written before they'd gotten together.

Tell me you've had trouble sleeping

That you toss and turn from side to side

That it's my face you've been seeing

In your dreams at night

Tell me that you wake up crying

And not sure exactly why

Tell that something is missing in your life

In your life baby

Tell me that you live for love

That forever is never enough

That you've waited all your life to see

That you want so badly to believe

Tell me that it's not just me

I could've sworn I saw you smile at me

Standing in the pouring rain

At a loss for words and running out of time

I said this crazy thing

I said

Tell me that you live for love

That forever is never enough

That you've waited all your life to see

That you want so badly to believe

Tell me that it's not just me

Hold me now and tell me

That you do believe in a soul mate

Tell me

Tell me that you live for love

That forever is never enough

That you've waited all your life to see

That you want so badly to believe

Tell me that it's not just me

Puck kissed Finn softly, when they broke apart he smiled as Finn told him, "it's not just you".

"Cheeseball", Puck laughed.
