Blame it on my heart
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Glee (sadly) Ryan Murphy does (I hate that guy!).
It was a boring Saturday afternoon in Lima, more exactly the Hummel-Hudson house, Carol and Burt were out in a mini honeymoon, what left a over- energized Kurt who couldn't find anything to do, and a very upset Finn who, couldn't ( or didn't want to ) fix his problem. They were in the living room were , Kurt who had taken place on the sofa, was flipping through a magazine for the third time and thinking, and Finn , sitting on the floor, was playing a video game but not really paying attention to it , by the tenth time Finn got blown up Kurt had enough , he close his magazine in a noisy way and put it down .
"Enough that just it, go to groceries and pick up some junk food we're having a party"
Finn picked up his keys and did as he was told, a party would take his mind out of things for a little while, he really need to not think about Quinn's drama anymore, or maybe it was just that he didn't even want to think all that because he knew that this fight wasn't about that, he deep down knew he wasn´t angry with Quinn, he was angry with himself. Angry because he was the one who was causing himself this kind of pain, he was the one who didn´t even wanted to listen to Rachel, but it was easier to be upset about Quinn wasn't it? How the hell did he get into this? He went over the facts of that day...
Quinn and Finn had a little argument earlier that day , well not so little , basically she had called Rachel "an annoying dwarf " and Finn got mad at her because of that and she got mad at get him for getting mad at her , it was all very confusing. Lauren and Puck were on a break and Mike y Tina well let's just say that things were all not so Asian sugar. But aside of that the things were looking up for the glee clubbers.
By the time he got home , Kurt was already on the phone , letting everyone know about their party, and was cleaning and getting the house party-proof , also the bowl for the punch was already out( he wondered why) , he plates , the napkins, the plastic cups, all his mother´s china was under lock and relocated in the other room. And all the fragile picture frames were out Puck's reach.
They were having a little "get together" like Kurt liked to call it, in their basement, and as it was expected there was alcohol, even though they've promised Mr. Schue they wouldn't had even a drink, but they had designated drivers so it was under control, (but that was before the booze started flowing and things began to get a little weird...)
People just started to get there , Kurt was getting their coats and leading them to the basement, so far Artie , Brittany, Mike , Tina, Puck, Lauren, Sam and Blaine were sitting and chatting along with the background music, but she hadn't arrived yet ,yes he should be looking for Quinn but he wanted it to see her , he wanted to see Rachel .
He saw Quinn descend the stairs; she looked at him with anger and then looked down. she was walking towards him never breaking eye contact that was until, she was 4 or 5 steps from him , that his eyes left hers , only to look up at the person who was entering the room at that moment, she turned round and there she was , Rachel , as foolish as it may sound she felt threatened by her , by her presence, by her memory , Finn's gaze was now on Rachel as he passed by Quinn and approached Rachel. There it was again, Him picking Rachel over her, once again, He was back with her, on top, but deep down she suspected that his heart still belonged to Rachel Berry.

At first she didn't wanted to come , but she needed to relax , she needed not to think about it , about Quinn and him on the school halls, her hand on his , or dream about Quinn and him going to prom , and starting a family; All those things that were supposed to be for her and Finn. But once she once she got there and started climbing downstairs and his eyes met hers she didn't even remembered Quinn or anyone else in the room, there he was , Finn Hudson her first ( and probably only) Love. He walked towards her and smiled sweetly.
Damn that beautiful smile of his, that makes her knees go weak, and her face to blush. It got her under some kind of spell... They walked together to the table where everyone was and started to mingle and laugh , this felt so right , they felt right, it was the most natural and yet awesome thing in the world, at that moment she realized she wasn't even close to be over Finn Hudson. And she didn´t even care.

He was actually having a great time, hanging out with everyone at the club, her being there it made him feel so good, it made him happy, it felt like the old times when they were "Finchel", damn he felt the same that when they were "Finchel" , the very word just made him smile , hearing her beautiful laugh for the first time in a while it was magic , his face had a goofy look, he felt peaceful , yes he knew ; he belonged to one Rachel Berry and prom king or not that wasn't going to change.
Her big brown eyes were staring at him; she gave him her "show smile" and he just chuckled... He missed her so much, she made him feel safe and content with himself, he wasn't perfect, and she made him realize that it was ok, but for her he could go to the moon and back, He felt like he was going to be someone in this life. That was one of the many reasons he loves her, she wants and loves him for who he is.
Finally Mercedes and Santana got to their place and Puck demanded a toast to get the party going. At first all the girls were sitting and chatting and the guys were trying to find some decent music, they came downstairs put on some CD's and thing began to cheer up , Mercedes was talking to Rachel and Blaine but they were interrupted by a very enthusiastic Latina ...
"Let's do coin shots! Who wants to go first? "
After they all tossed and flipped coins into paper cups and did their shots, it was time for the Tequila, Finn handed Rachel hers and swallowed his. The drinks and shots kept coming through the evening, everybody started dancing, and things were going really well and easy until certain song came up. As soon as the first notes of "Blame it on the Alcohol" came out of the amplifier Mercedes grabbed Puck and rolled Artie to the front of the room and began to sing, Rachel was hollering like it was a concert, then she looked at Finn and caught him staring at her, he stood up and walked to her, she smiled and once he go by her side, she turned so she could face him now they were only inches way, suddenly out of nowhere( nowhere meaning because of Kurt) the lights were low, her eyes were studying his, his hand was now on her forearm close to her wrist and his lips were all she could think of... Until they were spotted by Brittany who couldn't hold herself and shouted
"Finn and Rachel are playing Spin the bottle without us!"
Everyone looked at them and they immediately broke apart, Mercedes flew to Rachel's side and got her out of the room with Kurt hot on their heels, they got to the master bathroom and locked the door.
Kurt: That was so..." chick flick" like, you guys were acting like no one else was in the room, and I got Goosebumps ... you had to see the look on Quinn's face was Sue Sylvester scary!
Mercedes: Girl ... you are in some serious trouble, what are you gonna do?
Rachel: I really have no idea. Did that just really happened? I was really going to kiss Finn?
Kurt: No you were not going to kiss him, more like eat his face.
Mercedes: Am I the only one who sees the obvious here? Finn is so not over you!
Rachel: You really think so?
Mercedes: Rach I would bet my tater tots on that.
They came down stairs to find Finn with a bag of ice pressed to his cheek and an annoyed look on his face, he looked up as soon as Rachel got in the room, while everybody else was dancing and drinking , Mercedes elbowed her softly and disappear next to Kurt leaving them alone in the bar area .
Finn: Hey
Rachel: I'm so sorry Finn, I shouldn't come I got you into trouble with Quinn, look I'll call her and explain... She was cut off by Finn
Finn: It´s ok really, you don't have to do anything, don't say that everyone has a great time; nobody would want you to miss that. About Quinn, It's over, it was coming she wasn't happy I wasn't happy it didn't worked.
Rachel: I'm sorry to hear that, I know you had deep feelings for her.
Finn: Don't worry, I got a feeling I'm gonna be more than fine. He smiled
Meanwhile everyone at the party was getting on the "emotional drunk" stage...
Santana, (who had started to cry): Friends are great you know? I love you guys damn I think I even love Berry.
Mercedes: You know what? I don't need a man, in fact I'm gonna sing about it!
Blaine: You guys are like so awesome, I wanna transfer to McKinley! I'm getting tired of those freaking uniforms.
The drunken statements went on and on, Kurt felt the emotional vibe and came up with an idea
"Guess what just came to my mind? Let's watch the last year regional's video!"
Everybody was so excited, Kurt set the DVD, and Put the video in it, all of them sat on the floor and watch as the other clubs performed, then they watched some backstage footage and some of their rehearsals , meanwhile Rachel couldn't focus on the video , her mind was in some other place , and Finn was distracted by the pain on his cheek , That was until some Piano notes came out of the TV's speaker, their eyes flew to the screen were the beginning of "Faithfully" had everyone singing , Finn moved closer to Rachel and whispered
"Remember that? It was the best night of my whole life...
Rachel was almost in tears by now ... She stood up and ran, startling everyone who turned around and looked at Finn, Mercedes snapped out
"What the hell are you doing here? GO AFTER HER!"
Finn Ran looking for Rachel, he searched to see if her car was still there and it was, looked for her the entire house and still couldn't find her, he got to the front yard, looked for her, still no Rachel. He heard sobs and knew it was her; he ran towards her car and opened the door.
Rachel: I'm so sorry Finn.
Finn held her and managed to say trough her hair
"It's ok Rach, its ok "
She knew she shouldn't have but he wanted it too , she could see it in his eyes , sure she was a little tipsy because of the previous drinking games but she knew exactly what she was doing , oh yes she was kissing Finn Hudson and that was it ...
He probably shouldn't had gone ahead with that but damn he need it , he was still angry of course but he missed her , sometimes it took all his will power no to run to her and say "I forgive you" , after all she said it meant nothing just like his night with Santana , yes it was his first time after all but something just didn't felt right ; but she cheated on him and that was something he just couldn't get passed , and it hurt but he was gonna hate himself if he didn't kiss her right there and then .
They looked at each other's eyes for a really long time, Finn took the lead and rested her fore head in Rachel's , leaned his face closer to her , and brushed his lips with hers , it was sweet and chaste , he claimed her lips and Surrounded her with his arms , her hands cupped his face while responding the kiss.
The broke apart when the air became necessary, she just smiled, and he was grinning from ear to ear
Finn: I love you...
Rachel: I love you too.
