So Puck and Quinn? Were on a date. Nothing special, just two kids from Lima getting together for steak, Blooming Onions, and keeping a promise from the labyrinth. Totally platonic.

Or so Quinn would insist, anyhow.

"I think I might have to get dessert," Quinn told him, as a tray with something covered in hot fudge and whipped cream was carried past the hostess stand where they waited. "You'll share with me?"

"You're allowed to get your very own dessert, Quinn," Puck said, slanting a look at her. "I won't tell Santana or Ms. Sylvester."

"I don't think I've gotten my own dessert since fifth grade," Quinn mused, but that didn't mean she was saying no. "I guess today could be a day for new things."

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"What other new things are you looking into?" Puck wondered as a hostess came over and he raised two fingers. "I mean, getting your own dessert and going out with a guy this awesome -- no offense to Finn -- is a good start, but what else?"

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

Quinn kind of felt like Puck could offend Finn all he wanted, but she kept that quiet in case his Finn was still friends with him. Different universes were weird.

"Isn't that enough for one day?" she wondered, as the waitress started leading them to a table. "I'm a little short on excitement if it isn't. I have acting class Friday. That's kind of new."

"I almost signed up for that," Puck mused. "Mostly 'cause of the whole famous part of it, rather than the acting. I'm not really into that crap. But okay, that's kinda new. Unless you count Cheerios as experience, which...you maybe could."

"That's just smiling and concentrating on the music so you don't want to kill anybody for getting off rhythm," Quinn said, with a dismissive flip of her hair as they slid into the booth. "I don't think I want to be an actress, but I figure knowing how to act will get you through all kinds of stuff. Do you really want to be famous?"

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"I want to get out of Lima and stay out," he said with a shrug. "Being famous seems like a good way to do that."

It was bigger than that, though, since he was already out of Lima. He wanted to matter.

"But it'll be awesome being able to lie with a straight face. That's all acting really is, right?"

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

"You and me both," Quinn said. "And not just Columbus or something. Nobody goes to Columbus on purpose."

She added, as she sipped her water, "I think it'd be neat to be able to cry whenever you wanted to. I can't."

"The question would be whether you'd use that for good or evil," Puck noted, arching a brow at her. "Except with you, it's probably not a question."

Quinn pretended to pout at him as her foot not-so-accidentally reached for his under the table, whoops. "Whatever would you mean by that, Puck?"

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"That," he said, pointing lightly at her as he brushed his foot a little up her leg in return. "That face. If you could cry to go with it, you'd rule the world."

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

"It's true," Quinn said, playing along. "The only reason I hold back on the crying thing is because I don't want to make everybody else feel bad. I'm all compassionate about that."

Who was she kidding? If she could rule the world, she'd be being fitted for her throne right now, not reading down a steakhouse menu.

"This is why I always stay on your good side," he declared, nodding. "I know I skate the line, but the day I cross it, I know I'm toast."

"I haven't hit any of the many pervy guys here!" Quinn protested. "And you aren't that bad. Maybe I'm just used to you."

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"There are many pervy guys?" he asked, raising a brow. "See, I always think I'm one of the worst, and then you go and say things like that."

"You haven't brought up elevator sex or periods yet. That puts you ahead of the guy I met Tuesday," Quinn said, then held up a hand as if to stop him. "Don't think that gives you permission to talk about either of those things."

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"Elevator sex?" Puck leaned back a little, pursing his lips. "Bold. Bold to bring up elevator sex with a girl you just met. This guy has some serious balls."

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

"It was on some soap he was watching," Quinn explained. "I think I was supposed to be impressed he thought he could last seven floors. Nathan. Irish guy, curly hair and some impulse control issues."

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

And Puck, because he was Puck, and even if he had never met this Nathan person, had to comment, "Seven floors is barely any time. Not impressive at all. Why not brag more, dude, and go for ten." He paused thoughtfully, and added, "I could go for ten floors, I bet."

"Excuse me while I swoon," Quinn said, raising an eyebrow as if to ask if he really wanted to go down this path much further. "Why would anybody want to do it in an elevator, anyhow? They're like not comfortable at all."

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"Because it's a private space," Puck said easily. "And they don't have to be uncomfortable. I mean, I haven't -- " And good job there, Quinn, you got Puck to admit there was a sex act he hadn't performed " -- but I'm spitballing."

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

"And there's that whole chance somebody could call for an elevator and see you," Quinn mused. "Also spitballing." Which he probably knew, but anyhow.

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"Part of the thrill," Puck agreed. "Plus, you know, it's in motion. Doesn't hurt."

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

"Like the water swirling around in a hot tub?" Quinn asked, before she caught herself. ".. and I can't believe we're talking about this."
