Okay, I've been thinking about Finn's non-response to Rachel's question about if he felt fireworks when he kissed her. While running on the treadmill tonight, it hit me, so here is my little one-shot on it. Thank the YMCA for my deep thinking.
Finn watched Rachel leave in her dramatic, huffy way, knowing she didn't really hear him, only hearing what she wanted to hear out of his answer. He didn't have the energy to go after her, the damn mono. Why did he have to have a freakin' kissing booth? Why did he have to want to kiss Quinn again? Why did Quinn want him again?
Falling asleep Finn in the nurses office, Finn started to dream.
"Finn did you see fireworks when you would kiss me?"
Finn smiled, and shook his head no. Seeing Rachel's crestfallen face, Finn sat up and grabbed her hands. "Rach, the first time I ever kissed you, within ten seconds I was thinking of the mailman, you made every nerve just fire up. I wanted to be with you so bad, and that was just from a simple, gentle kiss."
Rachel was just staring at Finn, not sure what to say. "See, the thing about fireworks Rachel, is they are pretty and exciting for like a minute, but then they fade away and are forgotten. That was what it was with Quinn. It was great, it sparked what we had, because I will always hold some feeling for her; she was my first girlfriend."
Rachel looked to be on the verge of tears.
"But when I kiss you, it's a slow burn. A burn that keeps me warm and happy. A burn that will last forever, not just be there and gone. When I kiss you, there is a fire in my belly that just won't go out. That's what I feel when I kiss you Rachel Berry."
Finn was smiling in his sleep when he was waked up by the door slamming. Seeing Rachel come in to get her books she had forgotten, Finn smiled at her, and put his head back on the pillow. Even though he wasn't going to hold Rachel back, because she was bigger than Lima Ohio, he would always have that slow burn in his belly from her kiss.
Please review and let me know your ideas on this. Do you think I'm off on my thinking? Let me know.
