in the living room - drabble
Glee. 284 words. Noah Puckerman and his baby sis (plus a lil Puck/Rachel established relationship). Okay so basically my brain has become a giant Puck/Rachel romantic comedy. I'S SORRY. Except not really. HERE'S ANOTHER TO CHALK UP TO THE GROWING LIST, except this time I think it's closer in length to an actual drabble. According to unequivocally and une_fille Sarah's canon now? So mucho gracias to ohladybegood for dreaming her up.
In the Living Room
i'll tell you something true
the bare necessities of life will come to you!

"Noahhhhhhhhhh. Can you puh-lease fix the DVD player?"
"Shit, Sarah, what do I look like? The fucking Geek Squad? Fix it yourself."
"Mom said I'm not allowed to touch that stuff."
"All you have to do is grab a screwdriver and shove it into the socket--"
"Noahhhhhhhhhh."
"Seriously, twerp, if you say my name one more time--"
"I'm gonna call Mom--" She reaches for the phone and Puck snatches it out of her hand.
"God, why do you have to such a little bitch all the time?"
He rolls his eyes when she starts crying, but when he's pretty sure those are real tears rolling down her cheeks, he actually starts feeling kind of bad.
"...I'm sorry, okay? Shit, Sarah, please just dont--I'm sorry." He's kneeling in front of her and she's wiping her tears sloppily with the back of her hand.
"Y'know, Gina's big brother isn't mean to her--"
"That's 'cause Gina's big brother is actually her big sister. Listen, just wait 'til Mom comes home and she'll take care of your stupid DVD player, okay? Berry's coming over--"
"I was gonna watch The Jungle Book." She looks up at him, a manipulative glint in her eye. "Your favorite."
He stares at her for a long moment, her eyes wide and hopeful.
"Fine, but I'm doing this for Mowgli, not for you."

When Mrs. Puckerman lets Rachel in, she walks in on him and Sarah dancing around the living room singing The Bare Necessities, and she remembers why she puts up with his noogies and gross, sweaty boy smells. She catches his eye and grins.
"Get your ass over here, Berry, you're missing the best part."
