Quinn Fabray was sitting at the kitchen table at hers and Kurt's apartment, dipping a fresh tea bag into a cup of hot water. She had just checked her Tumblr account and saw that Officer Puckerman would be coming over to help "make her feel safe," whatever that meant. After a few minutes of letting her tea bag soak in the water she heard a knock at the door. She carefully picked her small dog up and walked quickly to the door. She looked through the peek hole in the door and saw it was Puckerman. She decided to play dumb with him though. "Who is it," she called through the door, a light laugh escaping her lips.

Puck didn't know why but he wanted to make Quinn feel safe when she said she wasn't. Maybe it was an instinct for him as a police officer but then he wouldn't go to people's apartment just to make everyone feel safe. He thought maybe it was a way for him to just see Quinn again. Since their kiss, Puck hasn't really been talking to any new girls or whatsoever. He shook his head, laughing when Quinn asked who was outside her door. "It's Officer Puckerman, making my rounds in the city. I just need to look into your apartment to check if everything's okay." Puck said, hiding a laugh as he waited for Quinn to open the door.

Quinn bit her lip, debating what to say next to the officer outside her door. "Officer Puckerman? I don't think I know an Officer Puckerman," she called back, holding a laugh in. The truth was, ever since they kissed, Quinn couldn't seem to get Noah Puckerman off of her mind. She found her mind drifting off to him at times that were completely inappropriate for it to wander off at. She couldn't help it though. Even though she only knew this guy for a couple weeks, Quinn couldn't get enough of Officer Puckerman. Eventually she opened her door though. "Hey, Puckerman," she greeted, a huge grin on her face.

Puck shook his head and looked down, laughing quietly and trying to hide his laugh. Quinn was just being so silly and couldn't help but ride along with what she was doing. He was about to say something back when the door opened. Puck grinned at the sight behind the once closed door. "Hey, Fabray." He chuckled and saw Alice in her arms. "Hey there, Alice!" He let her smell his hand first before petting her. Puck has had a lot of experiences with dogs, plus he's a dog lover, so he knew how to handle them. Alice purred happily once she got a scratch on the ear. He kissed Quinn's forehead and entered the apartment, closing the door behind him. "So where do you want me to stand guard?" He asked, chuckling lightly.

Quinn: laughed lightly at his greeting. She watched carefully as Puck let Alice smell his hand. She let out a laugh at her dog's purr. She smiled and blushed as Puck kissed her forehead. She backed up into the hallway and watched as he closed the door once he was inside. She bolted the locks and looked at him. She thought momentarily, considering where she would like him to stand watch at. "How about my bedroom door," she suggested as she made her way back to the kitchen to collect her cup of tea. Her tea was a nightly thing for her since she was 5 and she couldn't imagine falling asleep now without one.

Puck smiled, raising a eyebrow slightly, at the way she blushed when he kissed her forehead. He watched as she bolted the locks and nodded when she said where he would stand watch. Did Quinn really didn't feel safe? He thought she was just being silly but apparently it looked like she wasn't. "Sure." He simply replied and followed her into the kitchen. Puck leaned on the wall as he watched Quinn, folding his arms over his chest. "You okay, Quinn?" He asked as he watched her sip on her cup.

Quinn sighed as she grabbed her cup off the counter and took a sip. She looked up slowly at his question, slowly shaking her head. She set her cup down and folded her arms across her chest. "Not really. I know this area is decent and all, but I've been seeing stories lately of apartments getting robbed and people getting mugged lately. I just don't feel safe being here alone, I guess," she eventually replied. "It probably sounds silly doesn't it? I know it's been happening a while and whatnot, but I guess it's just gotten to be too much for me to handle with me bottling it up for so long," she said with a slight shrug of her shoulders.

Puck intently listened to Quinn. He nodded as he heard her saying about apartments getting robbed since he was in charge of filing some of those cases. He even got to imprison some thieves. But he understood Quinn's fear and it was pretty normal. "Where's Kurt? I thought you guys shared this place?" He asked, looking around to see where the pale boy was. He thought maybe the boy was sleeping already. "And it's not silly at all. It's perfectly normal to be scared. Especially knowing about those stuff. Don't worry.." He pushed himself off the wall and approached her, sitting on the counter near her cup and taking Alice from her. "Alice and I will be here to protect you. Right Alice?" He talked to the dog and gave her a belly scratch, earning Puck a little purr once again. Puck laughed and continued to scratch Alice's belly as he switched his gaze to Quinn's. "I'm here. Okay? You get a good night's sleep. I'll keep an eye on you." He said and smiled at her.

Quinn: shrugged her shoulders. "Kurt's already asleep. He has classes pretty early tomorrow," she explained to Puck. She nervously looked around the apartment, making sure no one else was around. "I know it's normal for other people to be nervous, but I don't get nervous! I'm Quinn Fabray. I can do things on my own." She tried to sound confident with her own words, but the truth was that she was nervous and she caught that her voice faltered a bit, giving away her lie. She let Puck take Alice from her and she watched as he scratched her belly, earning himself another small purr. She nodded her head slightly at his words. She knew he would make her feel safe. It was part of his job after all. "I know you will," she said quietly, smiling lightly. "I always feel safe when I'm with you," she admitted.

Puck nodded as he heard about Kurt being asleep. His eyebrows furrowed as he watched and listened to Quinn. She was definitely scared. "Even if you're Quinn Fabray, you're still human. And it's okay to be scared." He placed a hand over Quinn's while carrying Alice with his free arm. Puck smiled, liking what the blond said. "It's the badge, isn't it?" He joked and laughed softly. He didn't mind if Quinn only felt safe when he was around just because of his job, to him it was enough to know his presence made her feel safe.

Quinn: sighed and nodded at his words. "Yeah, I know I'm human, but... I just hate looking weak," she muttered. She felt his hand grab hers and she had to admit that she liked the contact. It felt natural, like her hand was supposed to be there. She laughed and rolled her eyes at Puck's question. "So what if it is? she jokingly asked back. The truth was that she wasn't exactly sure why she felt safe with him, but she just did. Maybe his badge had something to do with it, but the fact that she felt safe with him was good enough for her. She walked into her bedroom, and turned to Puck. "Do you mind? I kinda need to change into my pajamas."

Puck nodded. "Well it can be just our secret since I'm the only one has seen you scared." He winked, trying to be a little silly to loosen Quinn up a little. It was kinda refreshing seeing Quinn like this but he wasn't going to tell her since she was already freaking out being weak and all. He just wanted to make Quinn feel safe and accompany her as much as she wanted him to. He laughed and shrugged his shoulders. "Totally understandable I guess." He chuckled and watched Quinn walk into her bedroom. Puck's eyebrows rose but soon shook his head. "It's all good. You take your time." He smiled, but secretly wanting to see Quinn change. Puck smirked to himself as he went down from the counter and started playing with Alice, trying to divert his thoughts and attention from a changing Quinn.

Quinn: nodded, a small laugh escaping her lips. "Okay, good. I'm swearing you to secrecy, Puckerman." She winked back, glad to be loosening up a little bit. She smiled back at him and disappeared into her bedroom. She took her time and changed into a comfortable pair of yoga pants and a tank top before going around and checking her closet and windows. She eventually returned back to the kitchen, where she found Puck playing with Alice. "Trying to turn my dog against me," she jokingly asked him with a wink.

Puck was having fun with Alice when he heard footsteps and a voice. He looked up and saw Quinn wink. He gulped audibly, seeing how sexy Quinn looked. Tight fitting pajamas and a freaking tank top can do something to a guy. He chuckled, looking back down at Alice. He licked his lips before speaking. "Well she really likes me. Can't deny that." He looked up again, grinning up at her. Oh how freaking hot she looked. How can anyone look that good with simple clothes on? Well it seemed possible since Quinn looked amazing and it totally suit her. "You going to sleep now?" He asked.

Quinn: walked into the kitchen. She laughed to herself at Puck's loud gulp and the way his eyes widened. She didn't see what the deal was, though. It was only yoga pants and a tank top. She wore them to bed every single night. She smiled and nodded at his words. "Yeah, she does like you. A lot, actually. She likes almost everyone though," she said with a grin. She had to admit though that she really did like his bright white smile. It took her breath away whenever she looked at it for too long. She nodded at his question as she grabbed her cup again. "Yeah. I usually sit and drink my tea first and read a little before I actually sleep though," she explained to him with a light shrug of her shoulder.

Puck tried to gain composure and act as if nothing was affecting him. "Oh really?" He looked down at Alice. "You like me the best, don'tcha? I'm your favorite, riiiiight?" He rubbed Alice's tummy that she was moving his foot in mid-air. "Oh yeah, I'm her favorite. I know where she likes to be scratched." He chuckled and nodded. "Alright. Enough play time, mommy's gonna sleep now. You better sleep too, Alice." Puck said and scratched her tummy one last time before picking her up in his arm as he stood up from the floor. "Come on, let's tuck you into bed." He smiled at Quinn and followed her into her bedroom.

  Quinn: laughed and nodded. "Right. You're her favorite. My bad," she said as she grabbed the stuff she was taking to bed. She walked down the hall to her room and called over her shoulder. "If she doesn't sleep because she's too hyper, I'm blaming you Puckerman. And I don't need to be tucked in," she added. She reached her room and set her book and tea down on her night stand before climbing in the bed and pulling her blankets up to where she liked them. "Okay, gimme my baby," she said reaching for the dog.

Puck laughed along with Quinn and nodded, confirming he was Alice's favorite. "Hey! It wasn't my fault. You left me all alone with her to change. What was I supposed to do? Plus she likes me. Right, Alice?" He chuckled as he looked at Alice in his arms, having her tongue out as she got tired from all the playing. "You don't need to but I'm going to tuck you in whether you like it or not, Fabray." He smiled. Puck thought of being silly and placed Alice on the bed and knelt on the bed, leaning over Quinn slightly. "Here I am." He grinned, trying to control his laugh.

Quinn: scoffed. "It's my fault now? I don't think so. Sorry, but I'm not sleeping in the jeans I wore today to school." She let out a sigh as they neared her room. "Fine, but I'm not gonna be happy about it Puckerman. Try anything more than that and I could have you arrested for something," she stated. She climbed in her bed and she watched as he placed Alice on her bed, the small puppy walking around, trying to find a comfy spot. Her eyes narrowed a bit though as she watched Puck kneel on her bed, his body leaning over her. "What do you want, Puck," she asked trying to hold a laugh in.

Puck chuckled at Quinn's words. "Don't worry, I'll know the charge. I'll tell you what it is you you can get me arrested for it." He chuckled quietly as he looked into Quinn's eyes. "Well you said to give you your baby. Here I am! What's up?" Puck continued to grin, controlling his laugh. His hands where on the bed next to Quinn to hold and lift his weight, not wanting to accidentally drop himself on Quinn and she might think that he was taking advantage of her in any way.

Quinn: laughed at his joking. "Alright. Sounds good. You tell me what to charge you with and I'll file a report with one of your co-workers." she stated. She looked up and she was met with Puck's shiny hazel orbs. It took her by surprise a little, but she took a couple deep breaths to regain her composure. "Not you, you goof. Alice. She's my baby," she said with a playful grin. She was glad though to see that he was keeping his distance from her, while still being so close. The more she stared into his eyes, the more she fought the instinct to reach up and kiss his lips again.

Puck stared back into Quinn's green almond eyes. He has never seen an eye color like hers. But he was pretty sure he has never looked into a girl's eyes like this. Puck looked down and chuckled before fully standing up and off the bed. "I know. I was fooling around, silly." He chuckled some more and took Alice again from the bed to put her on Quinn's lap. Puck really wanted to know what the blond would do if he was that close to her. But to no avail, she just stared at him and that was that. Maybe she wasn't really interested in him. He smiled at her and went out of the room. Puck needed to breathe and control himself. After getting back his composure, he took a chair and placed it near the entrance of her bedroom. Puck sat there and looked at Quin, giving her a thumbs up.

Quinn: sighed when he got up. She had resisted the urge to kiss him pretty well, but if he had stayed there any longer, she was sure it would have turned into a full blown make-out session. "Right," she muttered as her dog was set on her lap. She made sure her lamp was on before she cracked open her book. She looked up and gave him a thumbs up back as she saw him perched at her door. She tried to concentrate on her book. After she stared at the same page for five minutes she sighed and closed the cover, setting it back on her night stand. "Puck?" she called out to him.

Puck smiled as he saw Quinn gave her a thumbs up. He tried to make himself comfortable on the chair as he tried to calm his beating heart and closed his eyes as he tried to sleep. He couldn't sleep, what a shocker. Not. He opened his eyes, looking up at the ceiling and trying to think of something else other than the girl in the other room. But then he heard her voice. His eyes grew, thinking was he going crazy hearing her voice in his head. Puck looked at Quinn and sighed softly out of relief to see it was really her who spoke. "What's up, princess?" He asked.

Quinn: sighed as she stared at her book. Her mind kept wandering to the guy that was sitting just outside her door, keeping watch for any suspicious activity. She would make it through part of a sentence before her mind would start to wander again. This wasn't exactly how she wanted to spend her night. She finally just shut her book and set it on her table before she called his name. She didn't have to wait very long for a reply. She shook her head slightly though at his nickname for her. Yeah, she was treated like a princess back home, but it just sounded different coming out of his mouth. "Come here," she hissed back to him.

Puck could't help but laugh at how she hissed her response to him. "Alright, alright." He put up his hands, surrendering, before standing up from his post and entering her bedroom once again. Puck stood next to her bed. "You okay, princess? Did you see any shadows or something?" He asked as he scanned the room with his eyes.

Quinn: laughed at the way Puck put his hands up as he made his way back to her bed. She rolled her eyes at his question. "I'm fine. I just can't concentrate or sleep," she said as she reached up, her hand gripping onto his shirt, pulling him down so that their faces were within touching distance of the other.

Puck furrowed his eyebrows ad wondered what was up with Quinn. He was about to ask a question when the blond gripped onto his shirt and practically pulled him down, making him bend down. He didn't even know she was that strong. Puck's eyebrows rose at the sight in front of him, those green almond eyes again but this time it was Quinn who made them face each other again. He couldn't take it anymore. His control was short that evening all because of this girl. Puck crashed his lips against's Quinn's, moaning silently at the mere contact of it. His hands went to the blond's sides immediately and he knelt down on the bed next to her, wanting to be close to her. Oh fuck. He's been wanting to do this all night.

 Quinn: honestly didn't know she had that much strength in her to pull all his weight down to her level. She stared up into those hazel eyes again and she knew all her self control for the night was gone. Curse those eyes, she thought to herself. She moved to kiss the mohawked man, but she instead found his lips on hers. Her eyes closed as she found herself silently moan in pleasure at the contact between them. She felt the bed shift underneath her as Puck knelt on the bed. This guy was seriously going to be the end of her.

Puck slowly sit down on Quinn's bed, not wanting to break the kiss. He sat as close as he could get to Quinn, finally getting to wrap his arms around the blond's waist. The only thing getting away from their bodies was his leg. Initially he really wanted to lay on top of her but then, he knew it was too soon. And he knew he wouldn't know how to stop. Puck deepened the kiss but he was soon running out of air and he knew it. So he stopped and rested his forehead against Quinn's, feeling out of breath and trying to regain his normal breathing. "Well.. wow.." Was the only words he could say. He chuckled breathlessly.

Quinn: breathed deeply as Puck deepened their kiss, his hands wrapping around her waist. In a way, she was glad he kept his distance from her by not laying on top of her. She was sure that once it got more heated, they wouldn't be able to stop. She could feel herself running out of air. She was about to pull away when Puck pulled away himself. Their foreheads were now touching, their breathing heavy and uneven. "Wow," she muttered back in response. She sighed in content and collapsed back against her pillow. "I swear, Puck. You're gonna be the death of me."

Puck let Quinn go so she could collapse back against her pillow fully. He chuckled and started to regain his normal breathing. He ran a hand through the thin strip of hair on his head and stared at Quinn with a smirk. "But come one, it's a good way to die. Right?" He grinned and quirked his eyebrows at Quinn. "Hey.. Is it okay for me to sleep here? It's getting pretty late." Puck asked and was wishing for Quinn to say yes. He wanted to sleep next to the blond, if she wanted to.

Quinn sighed as her breathing began to return to normal. She caught his smirk out of the corner of her eye and she turned to face the guy in her bed. She bit her lip, carefully contemplating his question. "Well, I guess it is," she mused. "It's definitely better than dying in a car wreck or a plane crash, that's for sure," she joked. She again bit her lip as she thought about his next question. "I guess it's okay..." she muttered. "As long as you don't try anything on me, you can stay here," she told him, sticking her hand out to him so they could shake on their so-called deal.

Puck nodded. "It's an awesome way to die. I'd love to die that way." He quirked his eyebrows and winked at Quinn. He chuckled and thank the Gods that Quinn said yes. Puck furrowed his eyebrows when she stuck out her hand to him. He looked at it for a while before rolling his eyes and shook his head. Puck took her hand and shook it. "Promise." He gave her a hand a little kiss before toeing off his shoes and let her had go. He went out of the room and closed all the lights before coming in her bedroom once again, closing the door behind him. Puck laid down on the bed next to Quinn, scooting closer to Alice than to Quinn. He just wanted to to know what would the blond react.

Quinn watched as he stared at her hand. "You shake it, Puck. It won't bite you, I swear," she told him with a laugh. They shook hands and she smiled as he kissed her hand. She was slightly disappointed though when he let her hand go. She tried to not let it show, but she could never really know for sure. Her eyes followed him as he shut all the lights off and came back in her room. He laid down, but closer to Alice. She was a little hurt that he would choose to be closer to her dog than with her and she was sure her face showed that. She quickly scooted herself closer to the two of them. She was unsure of how he would react and she would gladly scoot back over if he asked her to.

Puck tried to hide the huge smile that was trying to creep through his lips. He loved teasing Quinn and totally loved how she reacts to his teasing. Once he could feel her against him, his arms automatically wrapped around her and he scooted closer to her. "Jealous of Alice?" He snickered softly, rubbing her back with one of his hands.

Quinn smiled brightly as Puck's arms wrapped around her. She could feel his body against hers and she couldn't help the smile that was still plastered on her face. "What? Me? Jealous of my own dog? Yeah right," she scoffed. She smiled as she felt his hand lightly rub her back. It was definitely soothing to feel. She laid her head on his chest, quickly finding comfort from the contact between them. "G'night, Noah," she muttered as her eyes slowly drifted shut.
