AN: Welcome to my first ever Faberry fic!
If you've read my Brittana fics... thank you so much! If you haven't... you don't have to but of course I would appreciate it.
About this fic: This is completely AU. It's Faberry focused but Brittana will make appearances. This takes place in a world where Yale is even more LGBTQ friendly than it is (from what I hear). You'll figure it out as we go though!
Enjoy!
The harsh buzz of the alarm clock was not the way Quinn Fabray wanted to wake up this morning...
She rolled over in bed and felt around her bedside table, groaning when she didn't feel the familiar shape of her phone. She opened her eyes to find she had fallen asleep with her phone beside her pillow. Quickly, she turned the alarm off and allowed herself to fall face first back into the cushions warmth.
"It's time to wake up, Quinn." Judy Fabray came bursting into the room, oblivious to the fact that her daughter could still have been sleeping soundly.
"I'm awake, mother." A muffled reply came from the bed.
Judy crossed her arms and stared at her daughter's unmoving body. "It's a big day, Quinnie. Come on, get up." She walked over and threw the blanket off of the blonde.
Before walking out of the room, she turned back to face Quinn who was now sitting up. "Make sure to wear something nice." She flashed a tight lipped smile before turning and leaving.
Quinn sighed and looked around her room. She had packed a lot of her stuff, yet her room still looked like it had barely been touched. She jumped out of bed, threw on a dress and got ready to face what awaited her downstairs.
She walked into the kitchen to see Judy sitting down with her morning coffee. Quinn smiled to herself; her mother was probably on cup three by now.
"You're just in time." Judy smiled at her daughter. "Wyatt just got here; he's out front with your father."
Quinn nodded as she grabbed a banana from the fruit basket. Silently, she started peeling it as Judy watched. For most people silence with family wasn't awkward - this was not the case for the Fabray's.
"I expect you'll call me when you arrive?" Judy asked.
Quinn nodded again; this was as close as Judy Fabray ever got to showing that she cared.
"As soon as we pull in," Quinn replied.
Judy stood up and faced Quinn. "Great." She awkwardly rubbed her fingers together, contemplating whether or not to hug her daughter. Before she could come to a decision the door opened and Wyatt Livingston entered the kitchen.
"Good morning, Quinn." He walked over and wrapped his arms around Quinn, pulling her in for a quick kiss. He smiled and winked at her before asking, "Ready to go?"
Quinn looked at the empty banana peel in her hand then glanced at her mother who was now walking to the other side of the kitchen; clearly the moment was over. She threw the peel into the trash and turned to her boyfriend. "Whenever you are."
Wyatt took her hand and guided her to walk ahead of him. They walked outside to see Russell Fabray closing the trunk of Wyatt's car.
The older man looked over at them and gave a short wave. "Everything's set."
Wyatt opened the passenger door for Quinn and waited as her father gave her a quick, stiff hug.
As they drove away Quinn looked in the rear-view mirror and watched as her father didn't even wait until they turned the corner before he walked back to the house.
"Yeah, I'm here... Okay talk to you later. Bye, mother." Quinn hung up the phone and looked at the bags in the trunk. She was used to a walk-in closet full of clothes; now she would have to live off of two bags.
"Did you forget something?" Wyatt asked as Quinn stared into the trunk of his car at her luggage.
She looked up at him and smiled gently. "No, I've got everything I need."
He smiled while pulling her biggest suitcase out of the trunk. "Well remember, I'm not staying."
Her smile faded. "Right."
Wyatt leaned in and kissed her on the forehead. "It's ok, babe, I'll visit."
Quinn nodded and smiled weakly as she picked up her smaller bag from the trunk.
It took them a few tries but finally they found the room Quinn was to be staying in. She looked at the small whiteboard hanging on the door which currently read 'DND'.
"Do I knock?" She looked over at Wyatt who shrugged in response.
Quinn hesitantly knocked and waited as she heard footsteps coming towards them. When the door opened a fairly short, but beautiful girl stood in front of them. She had tanned skin, dark hair and angry brown eyes.
"What?" The girl asked.
"I think this is my room," Quinn replied.
The brunette eyed her. "Quinn?" She asked and the blonde nodded in response. "I'm Santana."
Quinn waited a few seconds, clearly waiting to be let into the room, her room, but Santana didn't move. "Can I come in?"
Santana crossed her arms. "Did you read the door?"
Quinn glanced at the door quickly. "I think we're passed that point."
The brunette narrowed her eyes and studied the new blonde in front of her. "Fine."
Before entering the room, Quinn turned to Wyatt and gave him a quick kiss goodbye.
"I'll visit soon," Wyatt told her as she carried her bags into her new home.
Before she could even set her bags down she felt a tap on her shoulder, quickly followed by a voice saying, "I'm Brittany."
Quinn turned to face the direction of the voice and came face to face with a tall, half-naked, blonde. "Oh."
Brittany held her hand out. "It's nice to meet you," she greeted with a smile.
"Yeah..." Quinn shook the other girl's hand hesitantly. She looked around the room and only now noticed that Santana was wearing a long sweater, and probably nothing underneath it. "What's going on?"
"We're saying goodbye," Santana replied with a confident smirk.
Brittany matched her smirk and walked over to the brunette, putting her hands on her girlfriend's hips. "To every part of each other..." Slowly she started trailing her hand up the sweater.
"Right." Quinn quickly averted her eyes from the clear display of affection going on in front of her.
Santana stopped Brittany's hand from straying just in time. "Brittany was just leaving to go to NYU."
Brittany pouted. "If I have to."
The brunette smiled at her girlfriend. "You're visiting again in a few weeks, babe."
As Santana and Brittany said their goodbyes Quinn started to unpack her bags, feeling more awkward by the second. It wasn't until the couple kissed goodbye that Quinn's eyes wondered back to them. She knew she shouldn't stare but she couldn't force herself to look away.
Santana closed the door and sharply turned towards Quinn. "Do you have a problem?"
Quinn's eyes went wide. "With what?"
"Don't play dumb," Santana scoffed, "you made it into this school so there's no way you're that dense."
Quinn shook her head. "I have no problem with your sexuality, Santana and it's none of my business anyway."
"Good." Santana sneered at Quinn and shoved something into the blonde's hand.
Quinn looked at the object in her hand. It was a key, presumably to their room, but that wasn't all; attached to the key was a small rainbow flag keychain.
"Welcome to Yale." Santana smiled.
