Drabble-Off Character/Pairing Final Round Prompt 1
Well, here we are our final two authors in the Character/Pairing bracket. First I want to thank everyone for your patience; my father was in the hospital and I had to spend the last week catching up once I got home. So now I'm catching up here. Voting is at the end of the post.
Prompt One: Pregnant Dave
Entry One: Ratings: PG Warnings/Spoilers: David and Kurt Friendship, slight homophobia
“This is a nightmare!” David said as he walked into the hospital room where antenatal classes were being held.
“Relax, David.” Kurt said from behind him holding two pillows. “These people are no different from us.”
“Yes! Yes they are.” David spun around to face Kurt. “One, I am the only man. Two, these are all straight married couples not a single guy who got himself knocked up and dragged his best friend to birth classes.”
“And three, none of them are as grumpy as you. Relax would you.” Kurt said as an overly perky woman walked into the room.
“Okay!” She said clapping her hands. “Everyone gather round. I am Stacy and I will be your coach for tonight.” She smiled. “Now lets all take a spot on the floor. Be careful gentlemen these ladies are carrying precious cargo.”
David turned around and stared at Kurt who shrugged his shoulders and gave his friend a supportive pat on the back.
“Oop sorry hun.” She noticed Kurt and Dave. “Why don’t you and your husband take a seat, he has precious cargo too.” She smiled after patting Kurt’s shoulder.
“Okay, maybe you are right.” Kurt said as he helped guide Dave down the floor. “That woman is an idiot.”
“Oh pookie you know we made a good couple.” David said in a baby voice.
“Aw ew.” Kurt wacked him as he sat behind his friend.
“Okay we are going to start with some breathing exercises.” The instructor said. “Okay I want to see a big stupid grin.” She said as she put on a massive smile.
“My face will crack.” Dave muttered under his breath.
“That’s because you are trying to smile darling.” Kurt said leaning forward and putting his head on David’s shoulder.
Dave then turned to face Kurt and the two of them laughed.
Entry Two: Dave/Puck Rating RG, Warning/Spoilers: Au in which canon happened in '03-'07, Military!Puck
October 2011
"T-minus 90 minutes and we'll be there." The countdown was passed down the airplane until each uniform clad man got the news, all the way back to where Noah Puckerman sat in the last row. Though his focus was more inside his head than it was out the window he was looking.
"Are you sure you want me there?"
"Puckerman, listen," his attention was pulled by a fellow soldier,Seth Jackson, his friend and battle buddy since boot camp turned around in his seat, "Becca, the kids and my parents are going to be there, and you've been invited to have dinner with his. Becca and My mother insists; they nearly cried when I told here you didn't have anyone there for you last time."
"Thanks, Jackson, but that won't be necessary this time. You can tell them no Kleenexes needed, I won't be alone this time."
"Its the first time you're allowed to come, of course I want you there."
"Alright, its just...don't be mad. I wanted to surprise you."
Those words had been glued in the back of his head since they had last spoken and were making the last two hours nearly unbearable inside his head. It was almost worse, the excitement of knowing someone was there this time than when he had come home from his last overseas tour, when they hadn't gotten to see each other until nearly a week later.
When they finally landed and lined up in front of the crowd, Noah resisted the urge to fall out of attention on he was told to, in rush of families trying to get to their servicemen and women. His eyes were scanning looking for the familiar face. He had just passed Seth and family when he heard the familiar voice.
"Looking for someone, Puckerman?"
The goofy grin spread across as he turned to face his fiance, quickly wrapping his arms around Dave's neck.
"And no heavy making out until we get to a room. I don't want to scare anyone back into recondsidering the repeal."
And then he felt the space forced between the two them and he looked dow. Between them, Dave's stomach was protruding, roundly in an undeniable shape. His eyes grew as he met Dave's.
"Surpise."
"What--."
They were interuppted by two hands clasping his shoulders, "I knew it, Taggart owes me twenty bucks." The overt enthusiasm of Specialist Seth Jackson was infectious as he extended a hand, "We were wondering why such a bad ass didn't talk about having anyone. Seth Jackson, nice to meet you."
"Dave Karofsky." The recent college graduate replied, a little shoced at the warm reception. Jackson's eyes caught sight of the baby bump before looking to Noah, "Congratulations...." He smile glazed into a smirk, "I guess this explains what you did on that two week R and R six months ago."
"Seth." He wife chastised, "It was nice meeting you, Dave, any time you need to talk let me know."
The Jackson's disappeared off to their dinner. "I think we should do the same." Dave offered a hand, but Puckerman wrapped his arm around Dave as the other man continued, lips brushing the side of his head, "I'm so glad you're safe. I'm so happy you're home."
There was more he wanted to say, but he just smiled, "Me too, Me too."
