Kings of Rock
Rachel Berry always knew she would make it to New York. No matter what all the non-believers at high school put her through, she still never doubted it for a second. In all her fantasies of her future though, she never imagined this. As much as she hoped and prayed to have real friends and true love, she never would have believed it would be in the form of these three people sharing drinks with her at their usual pub. She looks around with a wistful glance and a small smile on her lips.
To her left sat Mike Chang, the quiet dancer who tried to avoid confrontation but was fiercely loyal to his friends. He was talking animatedly with Noah "Puck" Puckerman, the still mohawked bad boy with the secret heart of gold. As her gaze wandered to the last person at their table, her small smile turned into a full out grin that lit up her whole face. Probably the most unexpected member of this rag tag group was their high school's self-proclaimed HBIC, Santana Lopez. As Santana felt the other girl's stare she turned towards her with her usual smirk. She sent her a cocky wink and entwined the fingers of their hands that were resting side by side on the table. Rachel sighed with contentment and happiness and rested her head on her girlfriend's shoulder. Yeah, never in a million years would she have dreamt of this but she wouldn't change it for the world.
Rachel was drawn from her thoughts when the discussion between Mike and Puck started to get a bit heated.
"Dude you know I had you last time! I've been playing guitar for years. Your twinkle-toed dance moves can't help you beat the Puckasaurus!" Puck claimed as he punched Mike on the shoulder.
"How drunk are you man?" Mike asked in disbelief. "I don't play guitar with my toes! And if you're so sure you won last time, let's have a rematch right now!" he challenged.
"Oh, you're on! I am the King of Rock!"
Santana just rolled her eyes as the two boys stumbled out of their seats punching and shoving each other as they rushed to get some change for the "Guitar Hero" arcade game at the end of the bar.
"I don't know what you losers are arguing about. You both suck!" Santana shouted after them. "One look at the high scores of that thing will let you know who the reigning champ who beat both your asses is."
She stopped her jeering when she heard the disgruntled mumbling from the head nuzzled into her neck.
"If they had microphones we would see who the star would be." Rachel pouted.
"Don't pout; you know you will always be my star baby." Santana purred into her ear giving it a quick nip.
A shiver run down Rachel's spine and her pout instantly disappeared. "HBIC my ass" she thought to herself with a small chuckle before she attacked her girlfriend's lips as a reward for her sweet words.
"Screw them. I'll show them who is boss another time." Santana mumbled into the kiss, before both girls got lost in their own world while their two drunken friends continued to argue and make fools of themselves with their plastic guitars.
