Quinn sat silently at the piano in the auditorium; she had told Mr Schue that she was rehearsing for a colossal number to perform in front of the group but really, she had went in there to think. Everywhere else in the school was so noisy and it was hard to think about anything when the smell of fear and slushies lurked around the hall. Plus their were certain things she liked to think of alone, away from all the homophobic teenagers just in case they could read her mind during the times she's thought about asking Rachel Berry out on a date. This just happened to one of those times.
Quinn wanted to ask Rachel if she wanted to go to the cinema to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part two. Obviously, Rachel had not seen the first half because, well, Rachel simply was not into the books or films but Quinn had wanted to take her ever since she had heard Rachel mention 'A Very Potter Musical' in one of her diva-ish rants. When Quinn heard the words 'A Very Potter Musical' slip out of Rachel's mouth, the question "Do I really have feelings for Rachel?" answered itself and it was a most definite yes. She had always been a secret fan and until she became best friends with Mike Chang, she did not express her love for it. She had always had a small obsession with the series; she had sorted everyone in the Glee Club into different houses. For example Brittany was in Hufflepuff because she is a kind and loyal person, Santana would totally be in Slytherin, no doubt about it, and so would Rachel. She had sorted herself into Ravenclaw, not just, because an online quiz told her to, because she knew she was smart enough to do anything she pleased.
Quinn gently ran her hands up the piano and by the time her fingers reached the last key, a smile had planted itself on her face. The answer to her problem was simple, she could ask Rachel out and Rachel would say yes. Why would she say yes? Rachel would say yes because she was Quinn Fabray, ex head cheerleader and her new duet partner in Glee club. Her thoughts had been interrupted when the sound of Rachel Berry's silky smooth voice wafted into the room, "Quinn? Are you here? Mr Schue told me to look for you in here". Quinn did not respond with words instead she jumped to her feet and simply nodded her head. Rachel slowly walked towards her and with each step, Quinn seemed to be getting more and more claustrophobic; it was as if the room had run out of oxygen because of Rachel Berry, who just looked simply breathe taking today.
Rachel stood in front of Quinn, whose palms were sweating like a pig in labour, and just smiled. She just smiled that was it, it was the most beautiful smile Quinn had ever seen, and she could not resist not smiling back. Rachel smiled to herself as she watched the corners of Quinn's mouth twitch and then, eventually, grow into a smile. She could see the happiness in her eyes and that was something Rachel had not seen in a while. "I wanted to find you so I could-" Rachel hesitated thought about her words carefully "So I could give you a hug, Sam said that you're upset and I don't really like it when you're upset." Quinn just started blankly at Rachel, more specifically at her lips. She did not want to hug her she wanted to kiss her. She was afraid that she would d lose control of her resistance if Rachel hugged her so she just looked down at her feet. Rachel did not know whether Quinn was responding to her question or simply ignoring it so she went for it. She swooped in closer and wrapped her arms around Quinn, somehow manoeuvring her body so Quinn's head rested on her shoulder. The shock of the hug made Quinn forget how to use her body for ten seconds and when she regained the control of her body the urge to kiss Rachel hit her harder than ever. When she breathed, she breathed in the sweet smell of strawberries that was wafting from Rachel's new blue animal sweater. She could feel Rachel's hands moving up and down her back in a comforting motion, which, now, was more teasing than comforting. All she could see was the back of Rachel's long dark hair swaying gently in the breeze that was coming from backstage. Quinn finally and cautiously moved her hands, one went to Rachel's back and the other went to her cheek. Both girls moved away from each other the moment Quinn's hand touched Rachel's cheek and they stared at each other in a mixture of awe and shock. "I-I'm sorry I just wanted to ask you something"
