AUTHOR'S NOTE: I haven't written one in a while and I kind of thought I'd do a little oneshot. It's pretty average. Enjoy :)

Rachel stormed into her bedroom and slammed the door shut. She stamped her foot and listened as Finn was pleading with her behind the door. She huffed loudly to let him know that she wasn't forgiving him anytime soon. She heard him sigh and slam his back against her door, head in his hands. Rachel smiled to herself at her small triumph. It wasn't often that she wouldn't succumb to Finn's deadly good looks and soft, apologetic eyes. But tonight she had held her ground and successfully made Finn feel guilty.
"Rach-" Finn began but Rachel cut him off.
"Shut up Finn! I don't wanna hear it!"
"You know I didn't mean it, Rach!"
"It doesn't matter if you didn't mean it Finn! The point is you said the things that fuel all my insecurities in this relationship!" Rachel sobbed. Finn had voiced his opinion on how attractive Quinn and Santana were, describing them as "the hottest things to walk the earth" – again. Rachel had stood up from the restaurant table and demanded Finn to drive her home right away. Finn was obliged to do as she said for fear of Rachel causing a scene in the restaurant. They'd spent the majority of the ride home in silence.
"Rach, come on. Let me in, please?" Finn sighed as Rachel refused to answer him. He sank down on to the floor, pulling a pen and paper out of his pocket as he went. He wrote a little note on the paper and then slid it under the door. He knocked on the door towards the bottom so Rachel would see the paper lying there.
She bent down and picked the paper up off the floor. She walked to her bed and sat down, unfolding the note. She eyed the paper curiously.
I don't mind spending every day,
Out on your corner in the pouring rain.
Look for the girl with the broken smile,
Ask her if she wants to stay a while.
I will wait out on your corner every day, Rachey. I love you.
Rachel smiled to herself at the lyrics of the song that he'd sung at Glee Club that afternoon and wiped a tear from her cheek. She stood back up and unlocked her bedroom door, beckoning for Finn to enter her room. She sat back on the bed and patted the spot next to her. Finn gladly obliged and Rachel buried her head in his chest, dampening his shirt with her tears.
"Rachey, what's wrong?" Finn asked, concern in his voice.
"Why are you with me?"
"What?"
"Why? Why are you with me when you could have Quinn or Santana? They're prettier than me, smarter than me and I-"
"Rach, you can be a real idiot sometimes you know. I don't want them. They mean nothing to me. Not like you do. Yeah they're hot or they're pretty, but they aren't beautiful. You're beautiful, Rach. You're the most beautiful girl I've ever known, ever. I love you so much, Rachel." Finn interrupted Rachel's sobbing questions with an explanation of why.
Rachel gazed up at Finn and smiled, speechless. She'd never actually heard Finn tell her how he really felt about her and this was the first time he'd told her. She liked hearing him call her beautiful. It made her feel special, but a good special. "I love you too, Finn." She whispered back.
Finn kicked off his shoes and crawled back against Rachel's pillows. Rachel did the same and leaned into Finn. He smiled down at her and kissed her passionately. She pulled out of the kiss after a few minutes and settled back into the grooves of his body. She was content to lie with Finn like that forever. Their love would be the only thing they would ever need. Rachel smiled at her little revelation.
