Summary: Rachel Berry wakes up to a surprise visitor in her bed...
A/N: Written for a prompt at [livejournal.com profile] comment_fic.




Rachel Berry's alarm went off exactly at six a.m., as usual, and as the peppy synthesizer started to play, her eyes shot open and she rolled over and suddenly gasped.

Noah Puckerman was beside her, rubbing his eyes groggily. "Why's the alarm on? It's Saturday."

"Oh my God," Rachel uttered, disbelieving. For a moment she thought she must still be dreaming, but to turn the alarm off she had to reach over him. Awkwardly she pulled herself onto her elbows and leaned across his chest, hastily mashing the buttons on her alarm. She couldn't deny that he was one-hundred-percent not-a-dream as her arm brushed against his pecs. "What are you doing here, Noah?"

"You don't remember?" he asked, yawning. "I gave you a ride home last night."

"But how... why...?"

"Glee rehearsal went really late. You invited me in and I brought some Natty Light, and then you told me I was too drunk to drive home."

Rachel drew in a breath, trying desperately not to hyperventilate. It wouldn't be good for her voice. "What about my dads?"

"They turned in pretty early last night, before I brought in the beer. I don't know if they know I'm still here."

"Think they'll be mad?"

"Why would they be? My pants are still on." Puck drew back the covers and revealed that he was, in fact, still wearing his jeans from the night before. "I just took off my shirt and my belt," he added, pointing to where he'd left them carelessly on the floor.

"So then we didn't... we didn't do anything, did we?" she asked.

Puck smiled. "No," he said, reaching across and moving a wisp of hair that had fallen across her face. "You fell asleep as soon as you hit the mattress. You're a real lightweight."

"Oh, okay, good," Rachel said, the words coming out too quickly. "I mean, not that there's anything wrong with that, I just don't want to, you know, forget, or, for example..."

Puck brought his finger to her lips, pressing gently against them to get her to stop. "You talk way too much, Berry," he told her, still sleepy. "Too early for talking."

Rachel was touched. He'd slept beside her all night without even trying to make a move, and she was impressed. She'd forgotten how sweet Puck could be when he tried. And, on top of that, he was even cuter than usual in the morning, with his mohawk mussed and his wide brown eyes blinking in the gray morning sunlight. She turned and looked at her bedside clock; on the weekends they liked to sleep late, so she figured she and Puck had an hour or two before he had to get up and get out before her parents noticed.

"In that case, how about a little less talk..." she began, putting his fingertip between her lips, "and a lot more action?"

"Now that's what I'm talking about," Puck laughed. Rachel wrapped her hands behind her head and pulled herself closer for a kiss. "Rachel Berry, you are the breakfast of champions."

Hey more GLEE fic!

You are on a roll. I really liked how Puck didn't try anything w/Rachel. He's more of a gentleman than we give him credit for sometimes.

Aww <3

Oh, so cute! I'm a Puck/Rachel fan, so this just made me smile so much :)

I CHECKED ALL OF THE TICKY BOXES I COULDN'T HELP IT.

This was great! I love your take on the Rachel/Puck dynamic and this was a super cute little ficlet. Looking forward to more from you (I love your "Step Ball Change" series). :)

I KNOW RIGHT TICKY BOXES ARE IRRESISTIBLE.

Thanks for reading, I'm glad you liked it!

Short and sweet Puckelberry cuteness. Loved it!

Hmm... re: poll results. How could 18 people have liked this, when only 16 check that they're read it...?

[identity profile] cruiscin-lan.livejournal.com 2009-11-15 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't even know, but I think overall the poll's a success. I don't know that I'd have gotten so many responses otherwise.

Anyway, thanks for reading!

I LOVED THIS! Sequel please??

I should have made that a choice in the poll! Whoops.

[identity profile] andbless-mybaby.livejournal.com 2009-11-16 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
I checked every box, because they all applied.

I love that you wrote bite-sized Glee!fic with punch. Like, way to cram all sorts of fabulousity in one itty-bitty burst. It was cute, in-character, and a little hot at the end there as a bonus. If there is more to life than that, I do not want to know what it is.

[identity profile] cruiscin-lan.livejournal.com 2009-11-16 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, thanks! I hope you have a chance to write more soon, too.

This was SO cute. I love awkward morning after scenes! Adorable. And you really have their voices down. Awesome. By the way, your comment poll made me LOL. What a neat idea!

[identity profile] cruiscin-lan.livejournal.com 2009-11-16 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
It wasn't even a morning after, it was a morning before :P.

I think the comment poll is working! My ideas maybe aren't so bad after all.

[identity profile] ladywilde80.livejournal.com 2009-11-16 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
LOL. Well yeah... true. :D I really like Puck/Rachel together but after last week, I'm kind of shipping Puck/Quinn something fierce.

Weird. When the hell did I start liking canon ships? *shakes head*

I don't know! I like Puck/Quinn better myself (I wrote a fic... somewhere...) but dammit if I don't ship EVERYTHING EVER.

[identity profile] ladywilde80.livejournal.com 2009-11-16 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
I KNOW! This show is a filthy orgy of horny teenagers (that I thank god are all over 18 anyway) so I don't feel like a dirty perv for shipping them all. Slash. Femslash. Het. It's all good. I think you may have just become my Glee fic dealer. I tried wading through the fic in the beginning and nothing really struck me until this...

FYI You can expect me to poke around your chpt fic as soon as I get a free second. I'm going to need a hit. ;)

I found the link to the Puck/Quinn - Just One. It's just a one-shot so it requires far less attention span!

I couldn't resist the ticky boxes. Had to choose all of em, then had to leave a review because I had clicked the ticky box that said I would and damn it, I am a woman of my word! /SHAKES FIST /HARK, IT'S A TRAP!

That being said I love Puckleberry for breakfast (even though it's 3:27 AM, I am using my itouch and god why am I up). IT WAS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS ADORABLE, thanks for sharing! ♥

DEAR GOD WHY WERE YOU AWAKE AT 3:27 AM.

[identity profile] psycho-llama.livejournal.com 2009-11-17 10:34 am (UTC)(link)
Read it! Liked it! Am leaving a review in the comments. I cannot resist all the ticky boxes.

1. YOU WROTE PUCK/RACHEL. I LOVE YOU EVEN MORE NOW.

2. Um, hi, how's life?

3. When did you change your layout?

[identity profile] cruiscin-lan.livejournal.com 2009-11-17 12:37 pm (UTC)(link)
You're funny. :P

(Life is nice and I changed my layout yesterday. You like?)

[identity profile] psychme.livejournal.com 2010-01-22 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
Providing readers with those ticky boxes is a great idea.

This was adorable and left a big smile on my face. Spot-on voices for Puck and Rachel, and I love the promise of hotness about to ensue at the end. :)
