Hi! So I've decided to start a new Finchel multi-chapter. This is the first time I've written for Finchel so go easy on me. I really hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed writing it.

This whole story is dedicated to Martina - she's kind of my moose.

"Hi beautiful," Finn greeted his best friend in the entire world, Rachel Barbra Berry, with a charming smile.

"Finn!" She squealed excitedly, reaching up to wrap her arms around him. "I missed you very much!" Finn had been forced to go on a family holiday for a whole week and had been able to contact his friends in any way. Since it had been the longest Finn and Rachel had been apart since they were about five years old, both of them had struggled through the week and missed each other greatly.

"I miss you too. So, how was everything whilst I was gone? Were you bored out of your mind without your favourite guy?"

"Actually, she began, her tone snarky. "I had a fantastic week."

"Oh, really?"

"Yes."

"And why was that, Rach?"

The future New Yorker grinned. "I got my first boyfriend."

Finn nearly choked. "You what?"

"His name is Sam Evans. He lives just a couple of houses down from me. He's blonde and in his spare time works as a male model; he's incredibly handsome. He asked me out on Monday afternoon and we have been inseparable ever since."

Finn tried to hide the fact that his face fell. "So, um, has he kissed you yet?"

"No, but he's such a gentleman, I think he'll wait until we know each other a bit better first and stuff. Though he did say he'd make it the most perfect kiss ever because I'm the perfect girl and I should settle for nothing less."

Finn scoffed at the cheesey line.

"I think he may be the one, Finny." Rachel clasped her hands together and let out a small squeal of joy.

"After just one week?" He asked her sceptically. "Don't you think that's a little too soon to be sure he's the one you want to spend the rest of your life with?"

"Maybe for most people. I don't know, it feels different with us, like it could actually be something serious, something amazing." Rachel sounded completely head over heels for this Evans dude. Finn couldn't help but feel his heart sink.

"Maybe you could meet up with him. Sam and I have a date at Breadstix tonight, wouldn't it be amazing if you could join us? You'd get to know what he's like and see what a great guy he really is."

"I'm not so sure…" Finn muttered, he just didn't want to see Rachel with another dude, looking all cute and couple-like and crap like that.

"Oh come on, Finny! Imagine it, my two favourite boys together! It will be so much fun and it will mean a lot to me if you do!"

She looked very excited about the prospect and it truly hurt his heart to say no to her (he'd never been able to do it before), but he was certain it would hurt his heart more to third wheel on Rachel's date with her boyfriend.

"Please, Finny?" She pulled out that cute pout of hers and the adorable puppy dog eyes he literally could not deny.

"No. I have, um, lots of homework to do and, um, I already have plans with Puck and Mike. You go have fun with your new boyfriend," He attempted to hide the disgust as he said the word, but failed. Thankfully Rachel was so lost in her own world, she was oblivious to it. "I'll meet him some other time, ok?"

"Ok, Finn," Rachel said gratefully. It meant a lot to her that he would want to spend time with her and Sam. "Love you."

"I love you too," He replied, smiling sadly as she hugged him.

"I'll meet you at our usual table at lunch." He watched her as she picked up her things from her locker and practically skipped down the corridor. She was going to be the death of him; she was too damn adorable.

"Dude, you're staring at Berry. Again." Mike pointed out, slapping Finn on the shoulder to get him out of his 'Rachel Trance' as his friends had recently dubbed it.

"Sorry, she's just…"

"I get it," His good friend smirked. "She's perfect for you in every single way and you're so madly in love with her and you want to marry her and be with her forever and ever and blah, blah, blah."

Finn frowned. "You're a jerk, you know that, right?"

"I'm just teasing you, man. Seriously though, when are you going to grow up and just tell her about your feelings for her?"

"I don't know." Finn mumbled under his breath. "I mean, she's no longer single, so…"

"Wait. Berry's got a boyfriend? Who is not you? Are you serious?"

"Yes, I'm afraid so. He's a male model as well; I don't stand a chance."

"Come on dude, this is Rachel we're talking about. She may be into this model guy right now but you've known her for over ten years, if you gave her the option, I know she'd choose you."

"I'm not so sure. She was talking about him being the one and everything." Finn said, sounding defeated.

"Just don't give up, ok?" Mike asked Finn to promise him. "I know we may give you crap for it but I understand that you really do love and care about this girl. Don't let her go without a fight. But not literally; we need our quarterback without any injuries thanks."

Finn chuckled. "Thanks, Mike. You're a great friend."

"Um, thanks," He shrugged as if it were no big deal. "Now come on, we're going to be late to practise and there is no way in hell I'm doing those torturous laps again."

So, thoughts? Please leave a review. I read every single one of them and they mean a lot to me, I love knowing what you guys think. :)
