No Strings

chapter 20

Rachel's eyes widened, "I could never hurt Finn."

"I wouldn't speak too fast. Has Finn ever told you about his super obsessive ex?"

"Yes..."

"Well, she is part of the reason Finn hasn't had a serious relationship in forever. No girl ever wanted to be in a relationship with him, not because he was a bad guy or because she threatened them, they just felt being with Finn would be too much because of his obsessive ex. And I don't think this is true, but a few weeks ago I heard she was back here in New York. I don't know if it is true though I hope you're strong enough to stay with Finn."

"I love him too much. I can't and I won't give him up without a fight." Rachel shrugged.

"...did you just say you love Finn?"

Rachel blushed and didn't say anything.

"Oh my goodness. I knew it! You love Finn!"

"Shut up!" Rachel yelled and looked behind him to make sure Finn was coming out of his room, "I haven't exactly told him yet though."

"I fucking knew it." Puck mumbled again with a smile.

Rachel laughed and continued to make breakfast, "Don't tell him anything though. I planned on telling him next week."

"You don't have anything to worry about." Puck said as he stood up and started towards his room.

"Michele is in there so don't make too much noise."

"Okay." Puck said before disappearing inside his room.

"Is Puck here?" Finn asked as he walked out of his room fully dressed.

"Yeah, he wanted to pack his clothes for next week so he came earlier."

Finn nodded as he wrapped his arms around her when she turned towards him. Rachel smiled and stood on her tippy toes to kiss his lips before turning back around.

"Your breakfast is ready."

Finn ignored her and buried his face in her neck, "I'd much rather-"

"No fornicating in the kitchen." Puck said as he walked back into the kitchen with Michele in his arms.

"I thought you were packing."

"I was, then Michele woke up and I decided to bring her to you guys and I unsurprisingly have nothing that I need in my room. Everything is already at Quinn's."

Finn sighed and grabbed his plate, "Good morning Michele."

"Good Morning Finny." Michele mumbled as she reached out for him to take her out of Puck's arms.

Finn placed his plate on the table before taking Michele into his arms, "You hungry?"

"Yes, can I have pancakes?"

"Of course. Rachy is going to make you some. Go brush your teeth and wash your face and by the time you come back your pancakes are going to be ready."

"Otay." Michele wiggled out of Finn's arms and ran to the bathroom.

"Hurry and eat because I want to have some time to talk to you about Quinn." Puck said as he grabbed a beer out of the fridge.

"No beer before practice." Finn said as soon as Puck grabbed the bottle making him grab a water instead, "Anyways, you and Quinn aren't fighting are you?"

"No, quite the opposite actually."

"Okay, why can't you talk to me about it now?"

"Because of your loud mouth girlfriend."
