Fabang Week.
Day One : Love At First Sight,
Written by WickedSong.
Disclaimer/Note : I will be writing oneshots for (hopefully) each day of Fabang Week. I am still shipping Quartie like a boss and see Tike as endgame but I can't deny that I love the idea of this, partially because of the name but also because of all the background moments we've had in the past. I do not own the characters, or the show, Ryan Murphy, Ian Brennan, Brad Falchuk and FOX do.
Her hair is the colour of golden honey and he wonders for a moment what it would feel like to run his hand through it. He sees that she's talking to two other new cheerleaders now, a tall blonde and Santana Lopez, who he sort of remembers from Middle School. Only sort of because he likes to keep to himself and his classmates have seemed to respect that since he was in Kindergarten. He's well liked enough, just this only happens when he's no longer invisible to everyone else's eyes. Invisibility is good though, his father assures him constantly and his mother nods in agreement. Invisibility means he'll be able to get good grades and go to a top college in four years time. So far away, he muses, just like the girl with the golden hair who keeps catching his attention. She smiles and it's blinding. For once he wishes he wasn't invisible.
Mike is brought out of his silent admiration by Coach Tanaka calling his name and telling him to get into position for practice. "Head in the game, Chang or you're off my team!" the man shouts from the sidelines as Mike stands behind Noah Puckerman. Practice doesn't go amazingly well but that's mostly because his attention is constantly subverted by the pretty Cheerio who is now talking to an impressed-looking Coach Sylvester.
Mike muses that she must be good because in the few weeks he's been at McKinley High he's only heard of horror stories about the short-haired woman with a fearsome gleam in her eye, ruling her Cheer Squad with an iron fist. So he diverts his attention further from football for a couple of seconds as he watches the Cheerios pull off a routine. It's not highly complicated nor is it complete - of course it's not, it's only the second week of practice for sports - but there's something about the girl with the golden hair that has him transfixed. She dances amazingly, doing exactly the same moves as her peers but with a delicacy and elegance that he could liken to a swan.
Again he's brought back to earth by a shout but this time it's from Matt, who's yelling for him to run for the ball. Mike listens and runs and runs and runs, but his eyes are still brought back to the Cheerio, until he's aware that both paths are colliding and he's trying to catch up with the ball and watch her but he can't do both and-
He falls on his back with a thud while the Cheerios scatter and make high pitched screams at him falling into their midst quite literally. All except Golden Hair, who just smirks amusedly.
"Tanaka! Come get your failure!" Coach Sylvester bellows into her bullhorn before sighing at the boy at her feet and then muttering about how football at McKinley is dead while her Head Cheerio follows her. "Freshman!" She clicks her fingers and says into her bullhorn to Golden Hair. "Help him back over and make sure he's not going to die. That is paperwork I do not want to not deal with."
Mike feels like it's a dream coming true when the girl holds her hand out to him with a smile and he takes hers in his. "Thanks," he mutters.
She doesn't reply, only puts his arm around her neck and supports him as she walks over to the football part of the field. Coach thanks her for her efforts and then gives a warning look to Mike. "You're good Chang so you get a second chance but don't make me go all High School Musical on your ass," he growls before stalking off.
"Thanks again," Mike says to Golden Hair and she's about to walk away when he gathers his courage. "What's your name?"
She stops and turns, with a smile. "Quinn, Quinn Fabray."
"Mike, Mike Chang," he replies with a smile back to her.
"Pleasure to meet you, Mike. See you around?" she asks. "And you're sure you're not gonna die?" she smirks again.
He nods because now he can see her eyes clearly, a beautiful shade of hazel, again, that transfix him. He doesn't think he'll forget about them in a hurry.
"See you around Quinn."
He already feels like he's fallen for her.
So tomorrow the theme is dance lessons so you can expect another oneshot to be posted sometime then. Hope you enjoy this and if you did, please review!
