Notes: My first Glee fic. I was inspired by the recent episode.
This was not a conversation Will ever thought he would be having with a student. Sure, over the past week he’d had quite a few awkward conversations, mostly with Rachel, but even this was pushing the envelope. It went way beyond what was asked of him as a teacher. Hell, he was fairly certain he could get fired if Figgins ever found out he was having this conversation.
But at this point it was necessary. This was worse than the entire Pepper fiasco. Rachel Berry was a certified crazy person and there was only one way to deal with her crush.
And trust him; he’s given this a lot of thought.
“Puck, I need you to get back together with Rachel.”
That’s right. He was asking a student to seduce another student.
What the hell has happened to him?
Instead of giving a response, Puck just laughed at him.
And laughed.
And laughed.
And laughed.
“Puck!” And now he was whining at a student. Oh, yeah. He’s sliding downhill this year.
But the teen just continued laughing at him.
“It’s not funny!” Will tried to defend as Puck just kept laughing. “She’s freaking me out!”
Puck just smirked at him. “You find her naked in your car yet?”
Oh, yeah. Will was getting fired. He was certain of it. “What?!” He shrieked out, hearing the horror in his own voice.
And then Puck just started laughing again. “Just chill out, dude.” He told him, sounding wise in the ways of Berry. “Everyone gets their week.”
Will just stared. “What?” He finally asked him, not sure what Puck was talking about.
Puck laughed again and then leaned forward, his hands held out as though he was speaking to a young child, which explained why he was also speaking very slowly. “Berry is like some sort of STD. She sticks around for about a week, leaves you all itchy, and then once you’ve finally gotten used to her, she’s gone.” He gave a shrug before digging through his pockets for dip, and then immediately put it back away at the look he received. “Trust me, Mr. Schue. You have nothing to worry about.”
Was he really taking advice from Puck? Well, then again he did ask Puck to come to the music room in order to convince him to date Rachel. This wasn’t stooping much lower. And besides, who else had experience with Rachel?
Finn?
He didn’t see him being helpful in the slightest.
“Besides,” Puck continued as he stood up. “I figure she should be moving onto Artie pretty soon. It’s his turn to ride the crazy train.”
Will found himself just staring again. Maybe he would have been better off talking to Finn… But as soon as Puck started to open the door to leave he couldn’t help but to ask, “You were kidding about the car thing, right?”
Puck just laughed.
Sighing, Will ran a hand over his face as he tried to figure out what to do next.
That was when Artie rolled into the room.
Suddenly he heard Puck’s voice in his head.
“Hey, Artie? How do you feel about Rachel?”
