I am planning to update my other fics I swear, but this short drabble just came to my head when I couldn't sleep so I wrote it out on my I Phone. I had an idea of making it multi-chapter, but now I think it's nice as a one-shot. It's labelled Finn and Rachel as I didn't want people to think it's a Fuinn fic. Let me know your thoughts and whether I should contniue.
She doesn't think of it like he does. To her it's just a mild inconvenience, something she could do without when she has a ton of homework to keep up with.
Yet to him, it's a sign. She guesses he got that symbolism shit from Berry; it sounds like her.
She gently rolls her eyes, pretending to chide him as he adds the third bag of dorritos into the cart. She sees that her suggestion of fruit smoothies has been loosely interpreted as a pack of Kool Aid, which thumps the bottom of the trolley. Staying calm, she bites her Tongue, because then it would suggest she was taking this seriously and she's not. Its just a shopping trip.
This is so much more than a shopping trip, he thinks as he studies the list Shue specifically asked him to get the supplies for the New Directions Regionals Song Selection Party. It means something; it means that he is a leader again. And the way that Rachel actually suggested Quinn accompany him rather than cast herself in the role is awesome; it means she's moving on. And he wants that, I mean sure it gives him a feeling like that time he drank too much Pepto Bismil but he rationalises that's perfectly normal.
Noticing Quinn staring he realises that the pressure he has been placing on the pencil has left a hole in the squints but the next item on the list has been eclipsised by the ragged, torn paper. He laughs because it seems like the right thing to do.
"I don't know how grown ups do this all the time," he says, " I mean there's a ton of stuff to remember with the list and prices and all."
Jabbing him playfully, she pauses a second to take in the make up counter and idly swishes a glassy peach tint on the front of her right arm. It will clash with her smoky eyes but she tosses it into the cart anyways. Taking it as his cue he continues:
" I gotta say Quinn, I totally feel grown up doing this with you. I know we like only starting dating a while back but I can definitely dig us doing this in the future. Me putting a ton of junk food in the cart and you being adorably mad, me totally trying to get you to stop eating that vegan shit that tastes like cardboard."
He laughs again as they reach the checkout.
He didn't mean to say it, she gets that. Hell he didn't even realise he mentioned his ex girlfriend eating habbits, didn't realise he was talking about a future with her.She knows he truly thinks he doesn't love Rachel. But he does.
She watches him counting the change,drinking in his adorable expression as he does the sums in his head. And she acknowledges even after all this time it's clear to everyone.
Shes not Rachel.
She's just a girl and she thinks Finns kinda hot, especially when he's got her back. They both love that they're back on popularity ladder and when they kiss there's something there... something.
Its enough. For now. So she places her hand in his and leads him out of the store. Trying to desperately not to make a symbol out of the fact his giant hand doesn't quite fit and that there's more than the half dozen shopping bags weighing her down
That's it! If you enjoyed please review!
