Seven years
They have been together for seven magical, wonderful years. They had made it through their senior year, through the Finn drama and the whole 'attending different universities' thing, and here they were, in the middle of time square, on the same steps that the new directions had sat so many years ago. Eating a quick lunch before Rachel had to return to the theater for rehearsal.
Seven years they had been each others one and only.
All that time leading towards this one moment.
She glanced at Quinn, who was biting her lip and looking nervous.
"Quinn Fabray" Rachel said, taking in a deep shaky breath, standing up from her spot and kneeling on the steps in front of a startled Quinn "Will you- will you marry me"
She could see the emotions swirling around in Quinns eyes as her lips formed the beginnings of countless words
Rachel knew that this probably wasn't the romantic proposal Quinn had always dreamed of, there were no rose petals, or candles, or a string quartet playing softly in the background.
she didn't even have a ring to give her.
But, something just felt…right about this moment.
A few strangers slowed down to stare at the two women, but they payed them no attention.
Quinn stared straight into Rachels eyes, her hands tightening their grip on Quinns as they just. . Stared for a few minutes.
Quinn could see a future with Rachel, God she could see it so clearly.
The moment They would stand in a beautifully decorated church and say their own vowels to each other, The way her heart would flutter the moment Rachel says 'I do'. How, when they return from their honeymoon, Quinn would pick Rachel up bridal style and carry her over their threshold.
They already owned a beautiful loft together a few streets away, but now it would be filled with pictures from their wedding and honeymoon and, maybe, kids? Two little boys? Quinn always had a fondness for the name Cedric and Rachel's always going on about how she just had to name one of her kids after her 'best gays'.
"Q-Quinn?" Rachel asked in a shaky voice, snapping Quinn out of her day dream.
Quinn looked down at their entwined hands, turning her gaze to her ring finger before looking back into Rachel beautiful brown eyes.
She looked confident, as always, but Quinn was able to the doubt churning beneath the surface.
Smiling, she leaned forward to place a soft, sweet kiss on the tip of Rachel adorable nose before pressing their foreheads together.
She untangled one of her hands from Rachels grasp and reached into her bag, pulling out a small, velvet box.
"you beat me by seconds"
Yeah, really short drabble I did for a prompt on tumblr, I was thinking of doing a whole bunch of short drabbles for this but I'm not sure.
