*nervously peaks out of hole*

Hey gleeks! I will apologize in advance for some fluffiness that is Finn & Rachel. They're just so darn cute!

Anyway. Enjoy!

CUPCAKES AND HUGS

Don't stop believing

He refused to believe that someone would call him at this ungodly hour.

Hold on to that feeling

Groaning in disbelief, he clumsily reached for his cell phone and answered groggily, "Hello?"

"Hello Finn!" a bubbly, soprano voice greeted him.

"Rachel?" he asked, a bit annoyed. He wasn't exactly upset at her, but he was not at all pleased with his girlfriend waking him up on a Saturday morning.

"Yes, it's me. I'm outside your house and I need you to come down and answer the door for me." She said all in one breath.

Wait. What?

"Huh?" He replied, still sleepy.

"I'm here. Outside your house. I figured if your mom answered the door and you were still sleeping, she would've gotten upset at you. So I took the liberty of being responsible and called you, just in case you were sleeping. And I'm right." She explained, her voice quick and excited.

"Yeah." He yawned. "What time is it?"

"9am." She replied easily. "It's kind of late, Finn. You should've woken up earlier."

"Nine in the morning? On a Saturday?" he complained, now fully awake.

"Yes. You should use your time wisely. For example, while you were dreaming of something unimportant (he blushed, he was dreaming of her), I woke up at 6am, exercised, ate a healthy breakfast, walked in the park, fed some pigeons, and baked cupcakes!" He wasn't impressed. "All before 8am." She finished.

"Is that supposed to motivate me or something?"

"Yes, it's supposed to!" She replied, her tone exasperated.

"It's not working." He could hear her huff (he found it adorable). "It's early, Rachel. Will you let me go back to sleep?" he asked in his cutest voice.

She didn't budge.

He was already changing. He could only imagine the lecture she would give him if he asked her to go home. Besides, he wanted to see her (note: he really wanted to kiss her).

"Finn?" Oh crap. He wasn't listening. "Your girlfriend is outside your house, holding freshly baked cupcakes, and she's kind of hot. I mean, warm. Temperature-wise."

He was going down the stairs. The words 'cupcakes and 'hot' really sparked his interest.

"And what am I supposed to do?" he asked, half teasing and half confused.

She gave in, making her voice monotonous. "Will her boyfriend please let her in?"

He opened the door and smiled.

"Okay. You can come in."

She looked kind of shocked (he thought it was cute) and removed the cellphone from her ear and ended the call.

"Hi." He put his hands in his pockets.

"Hello Finn." She greeted him, her face serious.

The sight of Rachel Berry holding a tray of cupcakes in a pink dress made him smile.

He opened his arms to hug her but she walked past him, rushing to his kitchen.

"They're already melting." She explained, putting the cupcakes in his refrigerator.

"Um, okay." He mumbled, his body leaning on the door frame.

"Anyway!" She clapped her hands in enthusiasm. He rolled his eyes. He so did not want to practice for anything. He just wanted to spend time with her. He anticipated a long speech, or a new song they should rehearse, or new activities they should do. Instead she beamed at him. He was confused.

"I've missed you!" she exclaimed, throwing her arms around him.

"W-what?" he stuttered, obviously surprised.

She giggled, kissing his lips.

"It's been 5 days and 15 hours since we last saw each other." She informed him, putting her hands on her hips, feigning irritation.

She expected him to kiss her again or say something cliché. He didn't (that's not the way he rolled).

Instead, he grabbed her hands and held it. She waited for him to say something romantic that would make her swoon. He didn't. He didn't say anything, which made Rachel worry. Did she do something wrong? Was she too dramatic? Of course she was dramatic, but he said he loved her. Love is about accepting the other person, right?

While her thoughts were conflicting with each other, he placed her hand on his heart (on the left part of his chest- he's learned from his mistakes).

He hoped she would understand.

She did.

"I love you too." She said softly, her frown softened into a gentle smile.

FIN

Another Author's Note:

Yo! When Mr. Shue said "You deserve a break! Take the summer off! Have fun!", I immediately thought of Finn & Rachel. Why?

Because Finn and Rachel are going to be a couple! In summer! Seriously, how exciting is that? They're gonna go to the beach and have fun and be cute together! In summer! That's TWO months of pure adorableness!:)

Anyway. Rachel never said "I love you too." to Finn (even though her adorable smile said it all), but this is my version of it when she does.

Random question. How girly were you when you saw Rachel rest her head on Finn's shoulder? (I smile every time I think about it...)

Also, if Finn and Rachel don't get together next season, how will you react? (I will die. And kick one of the writer's butt!)

Have a great day, fellow gleeks! We are awesome. *spirit fingers*

P.S. I'm going to put FIN at the end of every chapter, because I laugh when I read it.
