A/N: I'm sorry this is so terribly short, but it was written as an idea for a photofic I posted on tumblr, which can be found here: link
(To people waiting for The Implausible Couple, I'm currently working on that chapter!)
She had told her.
She had told her.
Never in her life had Quinn felt so astonishingly relieved, yet strikingly anxious at the same time. Her heart thumped as she waited for an answer, too frightened to think, too frightened to even breathe.
I-I think I'm in love with you.
The words were simple, but they were the most powerful and terrifying words she had ever spoken. Save, perhaps, the words that had revealed her pregnancy. Quinn glanced at her hands; they were trembling and most likely covered in sweat. She felt her eyes widen in shock when she saw two golden tan hands cover her own shaking ones.
Looking up, the love of her life (or, more accurately described, recently discovered love of her life) fixing her brown eyes on Quinn; her gaze was the most intense she'd ever seen it- and this girl had quite an intense look about her when she wanted to.
"I'm… I'm in love with you too, Quinn."
Quinn wasn't sure she had heard her right. Surely she must be hallucinating.
Had Rachel Berry just returned her feelings? After Quinn had tortured her all this time? Granted, they had started to embark on a tentative and slightly awkward road to friendship- but never in all of her life would Quinn have expected Rachel to reciprocate.
Tears started to well in Quinn's hazel eyes; she couldn't help herself.
Rachel simply smiled, and leaned in.
I'm in love with you too, Quinn.
I'm in love…
The bed sheets were tangled in Quinn's limbs, clinging to her legs; she was soaked with perspiration. Her eyes opened slowly and she did not register her surroundings at first.
"Rachel…?"
The words escaped her lips in a soft murmur. Then she realized.
It had only been a dream.
A/N: I definitely want to write more Faberry. I love them so much.
