Behind Those Hazel Eyes

Summary: Life was never meant to be this hard. Wasn't falling in love with her oblivious best friend cruel enough? Apparently not, now she had to be tortured by six words that would completely screw her over "I dare you to kiss Quinn"

Note: I dont own anything. Sorry for any mistakes you find :)

Updates may take longer depending on reviews...hope you guys enjoy!

Rachel watched helplessly as the spinning bottle taunted her from afar. She knew this game was a bad idea. She already regretted being here and internally cursed her inability to deny her best friend anything.

She allowed Quinn to drag her into the circle full of McKinley's elite and allowed herself to get swept up in the excitement of the party. The first few rounds were both amusing and shocking. Since the bottle had been nowhere close to landing on her, Rachel let herself relax and enjoy what fate others around her were given. Outrageous dares were committed and embarrassing truths admitted but the majority of the group were already drunk enough to not remember anything the next day.

Quinn nudged her with a grin just as Puck leaned in to re-spin the bottle. Rachel stared at her profile and let her eyes linger on her best friends delicate features for a few moments before painfully forcing them to look away.

Her eyes locked onto the rapidly spinning bottle in a move to distract herself from the heat emanating from her best friend and felt her heart rate pick up when it passed by her without stopping. Rachel let her eyes stray around the circle for a few seconds before Quinn's hand latched onto hers for dear life.

Ignoring the fire seeping through her whole body at the contact, Rachel turned her questioning gaze toward the blonde only to find her gaping at the sight before her.

Instantly panicking, Rachel's head shot toward the bottle and if her hand wasn't surrounded by the softness of Quinn's fingers she would have already been half way out of the room. Rachel watched helplessly as the spinning bottle mocked her before coming to a smooth stop in front of where she was seated on the floor.

Complete silence engulfed the room as the brunette locked eyes with Puck, silently begging him to go easy on her. The mohawked boy smirked before looking toward an equally smug Santana. Rachel didn't have anything against either of them but the wicked glint in their eyes when they looked toward her and Quinn made the brunette extremely nervous.

"Truth or Dare?" Puck asked with a leer plastered on his face.

Rachel fidgeted in her spot before biting her lip to contemplate the answer. Quinn squeezed her hand in a gesture of comfort but the brunette was already lost in her own world. She knew they would ask her about her romantic interest in Quinn if she picked truth. Puck was a pervert and Santana couldn't go a day without throwing knowing glances at her.

"We're waiting" Puck reminded her impatiently as Santana's evil grin grew beside him.

"Shut up Puckerman, she'll answer when she's ready!" the brunette's head shot up at the growl that escaped from her best friend's throat. "Whenever you're ready Rach" she whispered into the shorter girl's ear. Just when Rachel thought she couldn't fall harder, Quinn had to do something that made her heart want to explode. The blonde smiled reassuringly at her before turning around to glare at anyone who was staring at them.

Internally shaking herself out of her stupor, the brunette met Puck's eyes with fake confidence before answering his long awaited question. "Dare" she said and was pleasantly surprised when her voice didn't waiver.

If possible, Puck's smirk grew as he rubbed his hands together in excitement. Everyone waited on baited breath as he cast one final glance at Santana and Quinn before looking Rachel straight in the eye. "I dare you to kiss Quinn".

Collective gasps and hollering were heard throughout the room as the two best friends froze in place. Rachel stopped breathing the moment 'kiss and Quinn' were used in the same sentence. The girl she had been in love with since she was 13 was about to kiss her. She was practically being forced to kiss her.

This is not how she envisioned her first kiss happening. Quinn didn't even like her in a more than platonic way. She didn't even know Rachel was gay.

This was all so wrong but her heart was soaring at the possibility of tasting the lips she had dreamed of every single night for three years. Time stood frozen in her mind but people were already starting to get restless. Her feet were begging her body to get up and flee because she couldn't betray her best friend like this. She couldn't kiss Quinn when she felt so much for her. It would change things by making them a million times harder to cope with.

Her mind was made up and she was in the middle of letting go of the blonde's hand but when Quinn finally turned to look at her, Rachel knew she was completely screwed. If Quinn didn't argue, Rachel would do this and forever lose her sanity because this perfect girl could never be hers.

To kiss or not to kiss? hmmm
