While Puck had definitely wanted some alone time with Quinn, this hadn't exactly been what he'd had in mind. Still, necessity dictated that this be the way, and Puck would take what he could get for the time being. The drive to Jacksonville was long, and had given them a long time to talk, and yet they somewhat avoided the topic of Puck wanting to ask her out and telling her as much earlier on. It wasn't exactly the time or place for romance, and the conversation mostly stayed on the topics of work and school, and Kurt and Blaine.
When they arrived at the treatment center, Puck was nervous. He was nervous about how Blaine would be, how Kurt would be. It sucked that people he cared about had to face shit like this, and there was nothing he could do but stand by and let it happen, because that was life. Pausing for a moment to think about it, he turned to Quinn. "I'm fine," he said, a little too quickly as he reached for his seatbelt to unbuckle it. "Just... Ready to see Blaine."
Blaine had been sitting in the foyer reception of the clinic, a place he almost needed a chair with his own name on it he had sat there so often over the past week. The patients here weren't allowed visitors at meal times, so Blaine actually sat here and waited sometimes because he couldn't bear going away and just being lost in his thoughts somewhere else anyway. He had been struggling with this, but he held it out. Nick had come up to see his folks for a couple of days, and that was a distraction for Blaine, but mostly, he just floundered with what he was supposed to do

Quinn was just locking her car once they got out and she had gathered one of Kurt's Louis Vuitton bags from the backseat and slung it over her shoulder. It had some new pajamas in there for him, is favourite robe, some books, and a few other bits and pieces to try and help comfort him some more. She looked up in time to see Blaine coming down the steps and talking so pleadingly to Puck, that it broke her heart. She nearly promptly burst into tears, and she could see here in the flesh now how close friends they were. She had meant to let Blaine know Puck was coming to, but it just slipped their minds on the drive

Puck was just about to go to Blaine himself and get his bro-hug on when Quinn was in his peripheral vision, then right in front of him, hugging Blaine herself and comforting him. It struck him very suddenly how much it meant to him that Blaine and Quinn liked each other, even though he and Quinn still hadn't really discussed future prospects with each other all that much in detail. But if Puck was considering attempting something serious with someone, that someone damn sure better like his best friend
