So I was watching "What happens in Vegas" the other night and I got inspired by the city. This story is kind of A/U and you will understand why in the next chapters.

I honestly hope you like it and reviews are appreciated! :)

Rated M for sexual content in later chapters.

Disclaimer: If I owned Glee I wouldn't be here writing lame stories... Though I would like to have one Finn Hudson! :)

It's Vegas, Baby!

Prologue: Five years ago

Rachel Berry looked across the stage locking eyes with Finn Hudson. The crowd was cheering and applauding and her teammates were celebrating while lifting up the big trophy.

Sure, they won, but looking into those warm and wounded brown eyes, she couldn't bring herself to feel contented. The big trophy, the applause, none of that worth if he wasn't happy, if he was hurt.

They went separate ways and it had been almost a year since she last saw him, but Finn still had this way to reach her heart when nobody else could just by being in the same place as her.

A blonde girl, one of her teammates pulled her so they could celebrate together but she didn't even move. Rachel didn't feel like celebrating or partying or happy, for what matters.

She could never feel happy when he wasn't happy as well.

She didn't even smile when the judges declared her team the winner.

She just stood there, motionless, until she locked eyes with the boy who still held her heart.

Noah and Artie came to, sadly, congratulate her, however she barely listened to them and just nodded in response. Maybe she had mumbled a "Thanks" or something like that, but she actually can't recall it.

People started to leave both the auditorium and the stage until they were the only ones there, both still lost in each other's eyes and their own thoughts.

"Congratulations, Rach." Finn was the first to talk, using her nickname. She had to fight with all her strength to don't fall apart right there. "I hope you're happy. Really."

"Thanks, Finn." She barely whispered. "I don't think we should have won, though. I would have been happier that way, because I would get to see your smile."

Rachel looked at her feet, sheepishly, but looked up again when she felt his hand softly caressing her cheek.

"I'm sorry." He simply said. She nodded in understanding and a tear rolled down her face. He pulled her into a hug. "I'm so sorry, Rach."

"I know. I am too."

They parted but Finn cupped her face in his hands. He moved closer until they were just a few inches apart, her warm breath tickling his lips. Moments later, he closed the gap between them, kissing her tenderly yet passionately.

Rachel can't tell how long the kiss was, but in her mind they parted too soon. Her eyes were stinging and his were also welled up.

"I still love you, Rachel. I think I always will."

Another tear fell from her eyes and she repressed a sob. This was it. The end. It had to be.

Rachel pecked his lips one last time and then released herself from his grasp. She took a step back and already missed the warmth of his touch.

"Goodbye, Finn."

What did you think? Was it really bad or kind of readable material? Let me know! ;)

Hope you enjoy!
