I haven't written anything in a while, and I was writing something for my friend and my creative juices were flowing. Seeing as how Shawna is my favourite fanfic writer in all of the world, I saw her tags on this post and decided to write this for her.
#there needs to be a fic where rae finds a list that finn has kept of all the places they've done it, #and another one of all the places he'd like them to do it
Since the debacle that had ensued when Rae had read Chloe's diary, Rae had made a vow to herself to never snoop in anyone's personal belongings again. Not just because she was worried about what she might find, but because she now understood more than ever, that it wasn't fair on anyone to have their privacy invaded.
At least that was what she had told herself when she saw Finn nervously fumbling with a notebook when she had walked into his room one day. He had adamantly assured her that it was just homework for English and nothing important. Rae had a hard time believing he would try to hide something as trivial as an essay on the relevance of 'Macbeth' to modern day life. Alas, she trusted him and didn't need to go looking. That's right. Finn said it was an English essay, so it was an English essay. Yes. He wasn't hiding anything. He was only fumbling because he was startled when she had walked in unannounced. Not because it was something he didn't want her to see. Right?
It's not that Rae didn't trust Finn, because she did. After all, nothing he had ever done would make her think she couldn't. She was just curious. And really, she just wanted to read it so maybe she could help him get a better grade, English is her best subject. That was all. She wasn't going to look at it because she thought it was something different. No way.
Rae had let the thought of what was in Finn's desk drawer take over her entire mind, unintentionally showing it on her face. Finn, being the ever-observant boyfriend he is, noticed the look on Rae's face. At first he had thought maybe she was constipated or something, but then realised that was stupid and so went with his next suspicion instead. Usually when she got quiet like this it meant that thoughts were rapidly running through her mind like wildfire. He suspected that she was about to unleash those thoughts very soon so he offered to go make a brew, knowing that in these situations that was the best way to keep her calm when she did let go of her motions. Unbeknown to him, leaving his girlfriend unattended in his room was probably not the best idea.
As soon as Finn shut his bedroom door behind him, Rae's eyes immediately darted to the desk drawer. 'No Rae, don't do it, you know its wrong'
"Oh bollocks" she sighed out as she went for it. If he caught her and it just so happened to be his English paper like he had claimed she would just tell him what she had told herself. She was reading it for 'academic purposes'.
She opened up the drawer, to see the notebook sitting right on top. She recognised it straight away. It wasn't one of his college books like he had said; it was his list book, or whatever he called it. One night when he was trying to convince her that he did weird stuff as well he had confessed to her that he liked to write lists. A lot of the time's it was pro's and con's lists or to-do lists, but sometimes he wrote one's that were completely meaningless like "12 ways to eat fish" or "brands of tea". One time he'd showed her one that he had written just after he had met her, and it was titled "Everything that makes her perfect". She was quite fond of that one. He had explained to her that it helped him sort through things in his mind without having to verbalise it. It calmed him down when his thoughts were racing.
She didn't understand why Finn had been embarrassed about his list book, she had known about it for a long time. He told her, and yeah she may have giggled when he did, but she made sure he knew that something as silly as that could never make her stop loving him. She almost resigned to the fact that Finn really did just fumble with the book because he was startled, but then why had he lied?
Rae flicked open the book to the most recent page that had been written in. It was divided into two columns, much like his pro's and con's lists generally were. Glancing down at the headings, Rae began to get more curious and began ignoring the fact that she was still invading his privacy very much.
The headings read 'done' and 'want to do'. Before reading further, Rae assumed it was going to be similar to a to-do list or perhaps a bucket list of some sorts. But as her eyes scanned the page, she began to understand why Finn had been so nervous when he had almost been caught. On the left hand side of the page read words like 'my bedroom', 'her bedroom', 'car', 'Chloe's pool', 'on the kitchen table' the last one catching her eye and making her laugh 'against probably every wall of my house, most walls at least, nah every wall definitely'. She knew instantly that Finn was listing the places they had had sex. Moving her eyes to the right side of the page, she became curious as to some of the places Finn had wanted to have sex with her in the future.
"You cheeky bastard" she mumbled as her eyes read over some of the locations. She had to admit, most of them sounded pretty sexy, and she wasn't going to lie, she had even fantasized about them herself.
After reading most of the list, she heard Finn coming up the stairs; she quickly closed the book, placing it back in the drawer and sat back down where she had been, pretending like she hadn't moved at all.
Finn walked back into his room with a smile and two mugs. After handing one to Rae and sitting back down himself, he asked her what was up, expecting her to let go of all the thoughts he assumed she had been holding in earlier.
"I was thinking maybe we should do something wild, like go mini-golfing after dark? I wanna work on the windmill hole," She requested with a smirk and a wink.
Finn spat out his drink. "Um…yeah, that sounds like fun".
