A/N:This is my first Faberry fic so please be gentle. This idea got stuck in my head after I first listened to Ingrid Michaelson's Always You and it refused to leave till I wrote it down, so this is what came out. I hope you like it.

As always I do not own Glee.

Summary: What will Quinn do after she finds out Rachel says yes to Finn anyway?


Always You

When Quinn heard the actual words that Finn proposed to Rachel, she had to laugh. At first she thought it was a joke, but as she looked at Rachel and saw nothing but sincerity, her heart sped up. She was scared to ask what her answer was, but was a little relieved when Rachel said she hadn't given him one yet.

This was her chance.

To convince Rachel that it would be a huge mistake.

After all it's what Rachel wanted right? She came to Quinn for her opinion on her "adult problem". Doesn't that say enough?

But when Rachel tried to justify marrying him after Quinn told her exactly why she shouldn't, Quinn had to take a moment to control her anger before she said something she might regret. Her heart was pounding and she was just itching to tell Rachel the real reason why she shouldn't marry Finn. She couldn't though. And she thought she didn't need to after her very convincing speech and performance. She stared directly at Rachel as she spoke with such passion and conviction. There's just no way that Rachel is going to marry him after that.

So why is it that Quinn's heart is in her stomach as Rachel and Finn announce to the group that they're getting married? Everyone immediately voices their disagreements, while Quinn is just stuck in her thoughts. She doesn't know why her speech didn't break through to Rachel. It was so heartfelt and sincere. Her heart breaks as she looks at the "happy couple" standing before everyone. The sight is making her a little sick, and at the thought of Rachel marrying someone else, especially Finn, she feels the bile rise in her throat.

Rachel sees the pale look on Quinn's face and her stomach drops, along with her eyes, to the floor. She knows Quinn is disappointed, but she loves Finn and she couldn't be any happier, right? Then why does the look on Quinn's face make her heart pound? Why does she have that nervous feeling in the bottom of her stomach as if she's doing something that she shouldn't? She looks up at Finn and when he smiles down at her, she can't help but wince. Of course she tries to hide it as best she could.

But Quinn sees it all.

Finn and Rachel then take a seat as Mr. Shue comes in. And as if Quinn couldn't feel any worse, he starts going on about Valentine's Day and singing love songs. She won't be able to survive if Finn and Rachel sing to each other, again. All the other times she could handle it, but now that they're getting married, it's just unbearable.

She has to stop them.

She didn't think she had to do this, but it's time.

She knows what she has to do come next glee club meeting, which just so happens to be Valentine's Day.

Rachel sneaks side glances at Quinn for the rest of glee. She can't read the blonde; she's too immerged into herself. It shouldn't bother Rachel, but it does. For some reason Quinn's opinion matters more than anyone else's does, or ever did for that matter. There's this pull she has towards Quinn and she doesn't know why. She's tried to ignore it, but it never worked, and only plagued her mind even more.

As the bell rings, Rachel tries to talk to Quinn, but the blonde bolts from the room before she gets a chance. She feels like she should apologize to Quinn, but for what exactly, she has no clue.

For not listening to her?

For agreeing to marrying him anyway?

Though it seemed as if she wanted Quinn to talk her out of it.

She doesn't know what she wanted Quinn to say. She doesn't know what she wants anyone to say. She's not even sure what she should say anymore. Her thoughts are all foggy, but one thing that's clear is Quinn.

Just Quinn.

And her beauty.

And her angelic voice.


Quinn takes a deep breath before walking into the choir room. She chances a glance at Rachel as she takes a seat. Rachel is looking right back. Quinn swallows thickly and looks away. She's nervous for what she's about to do. She doesn't think she's ever been this nervous in her life. But she can do it; she's a Fabray, an HBIC.

She's thrown from her thoughts when Mr. Shue walks in asking if anyone has something for the assignment. Her nerves kick into high gear and she clears her throat as she rises from her seat. Mr. Shue gives her a smile and nod as he sits down with everyone else. Her eyes are glued to her feet until she feels everyone's expectant gazes on her. She clasps her sweaty hands behind her back and gives Brad the go ahead. The piano pours into the room as Quinn looks over everyone's face before settling on Rachel and only Rachel.

I wait in the rain
but I don't complain
because I wait for you
and I don't feel the pain
you're like Novocain
and I got you

it was always you
it was always you

As Quinn sings the chorus, Rachel's eyes widen in realization. Quinn is staring straight at her singing this song, and no one else seems to get it. Finn laces his fingers with hers and sends her a sweet smile. He's so oblivious to what's happening right in front of him. Quinn's heart stops when she sees his action, but she keeps singing, pleading for Rachel to hear her.

time and again
I thought that the end
was just around the bend
but you showed me there's more
that I got more in store
and you got me

it was always you
it was always you

it was always you
it was always you

As the last note rings out, a silent, lone tear escapes Quinn's eye. Everyone claps and praises her, but she's too caught up in Rachel, waiting for a reaction. They continue to stare at each other, Quinn with pleading eyes for Rachel to understand, and Rachel with no emotion what so ever, until Rachel shifts in her seat and looks away. That's it for Quinn, more tears fall and she swiftly leaves the room.

Rachel drops Finn's hand and goes after Quinn. She finds her in the bathroom trying to compose herself.

"Quinn..?"

Quinn stiffens at the small voice. She wipes her eyes as best she could then turns to face the other girl.

"Quinn, wha-what was that in there?" Rachel quietly stutters.

Quinn just sniffles and shifts her gaze to the floor.

"Quinn." Rachel says a little louder and takes a step forward waiting for Quinn to answer.

"Wasn't it obvious?" the blonde barely whispers looking up through her lashes.

Rachel takes another step closer, now inches from the girl.

"I need you to say it."

Quinn sucks in a shaky breath and swallows, tears making their way back to her eyes.

"I…" she trails off.

"You what, Quinn?"

"I…love you." She finally exhales.

Rachel gasps inwardly and her hands start to shake. Quinn finds her nerve and steps into the brunette, clutching her shaking hands. She squeezes them for Rachel to look at her. When she does, her breath hitches as she drowns in all the emotion swirling around the green and hazel looking back at her.

Quinn brings one of her hands up to caress Rachel's cheek and looks deep into chestnut orbs.

"I love you, Rachel." She breathes against the smaller girl's lips.

Her eyes flick from brown to pink then back to brown before closing the distance. When their lips lock, their whole world stops and spins at the same time, and they've never felt more at home. The kiss is soft and unmoving for a while until Quinn pulls away and rests their foreheads together.

"It's you. It was always you." She whispers.
