Hello readers! So I have wanted to write a future Fuinn fic for a long time now. I plan on having (Spoiler alert! Ha!) epilogues for Songs of Love and True Feelings Never Fade, but I still have a few other chapters I want to get in before. So Bennett 99 helped me come up with this idea. Let me know what you all think!
This first chapter is a flashback!
"You ready babe?" Finn yelled for Quinn as he lay on their queen sized bed. They had dinner reservations with their usual group at 7 and it was already 6:45.
"Yes." Quinn told him as she walked out of the bathroom in a stunning black dress.
Finn jumped up to meet her, "You look absolutely beautiful." He told her with a smile.
"You don't look to bad yourself." Quinn told him, kissing him softly on the lips.
"Shall we?" Finn asked her as he motioned towards the door.
Quinn nodded and led the way down the stairs into the garage. It was truly nice to finally be living together. No more lugging stuff from her house to his. No more trying to decide rather to sleep at her house or his. It was so much simpler with one house.
Finn being the gentleman he was opened Quinn's door as she got into the car. Finn jogged around to the driver's side and started up the car. Luckily the restaurant they were going to tonight was only a short drive away.
As Finn pulled out of their neighborhood, he took Quinn's hand into his and squeezed it.
"What?" Quinn asked him confused. She didn't care that he took her hand, because she loved it, it was just a little random.
"Nothing," Finn told her as he took his eyes off of the road for a quick second to look at her, "I just really love you."
"I love you too." Quinn told him with a wide smile as they pulled into the parking lot.
Finn pulled into the closest available parking spot that he could. He quickly got out to open Quinn's door again.
"You really do spoil me." Quinn told him with a smile.
"You deserve it." Finn told her as he wrapped his arm around her and led her towards the doors.
"Do you have a reservation?" The waiter asked as the couple made their way to the desk.
"Um." Finn said as he looked through the various tables, "There they are right there." He informed the waiter as he spotted out their friends.
"Ah okay," The waiter told them, "Right this way."
Finn and Quinn followed the young waiter until he led them to the table where Puck, Rachel, Brittany and Artie were all seated at.
"Hey guys." Finn told them as he took his seat next to Quinn.
"How are you two?" Rachel excitedly asked them as they ordered their drinks. "You guys bailed on us last week!"
"Yeah we're sorry about that," Quinn told her sincerely, "We just got so caught up with me moving in and what not."
"You guys live together?" Brittany asked them.
"Do you not remember helping us move all of the stuff from Quinn's to Finn's?" Puck asked her, bewildered at the fact that she was confused.
"Oh yeah." Brittany excitedly said as if a light bulb went on inside her head.
"Anywho," Finn said quickly changing the subject, "How's academy going Artie?" He asked his friend, Artie had become a teacher at the academy. He chose not to pursue an active duty role due to his wheelchair.
"Not bad." Artie told them, "I mean we have a couple knuckleheads who joined because they for some reason all love the movie Training Day. Isn't that about 18 years old?"
"Yeah," Puck told them, "I remember when I used to love that movie. Classic Denzel."
"So have you decided what job you're going to take Finn?" Rachel curiously asked him. They all knew that he had two job offers on the table. The first was at the local high school to coach football and be the gym teacher, while the other was the opportunity to be a sports anchor for Channel 5.
"Actually," Finn told them with a serious expression, "There is something that I wanted to tell you all."
Quinn quirked an eyebrow at Finn, "What would that be?"
"Well," Finn began as he nervously rearranged his tie. He was honestly scared of how Quinn would react to his news, "I've decided that I'm going to be a firefighter."
"What?" Quinn gasped at hearing Finn make this announcement. "Do you know how dangerous that is?"
"Yes." Finn confidently told her, "Trust me Q. I know what I'm getting in to." He told her as he took her hand into his. She looked him in the eyes and smiled, she knew she could trust him about anything.
"Dude forreal?" Puck asked him, "I was actually just talking to Rachel the other day about me doing that too."
"Awesome." Finn told him, still not letting go of Quinn's hand, "You should totally join with me."
Puck nodded as Artie spoke, "Leaving me out here bros."
"Sorry dude," Finn told him, "I mean I know there are jobs that you could do in the whole Firefighting business and all, but don't you love your job at the academy?"
"True." Artie told them as he took a drink, "Although I do want to look into that."
"Hey," Puck told him, "If you do that would be awesome. The bros back together again." Puck said as he put his hand in the middle of the table.
The girls looked at him like he was stupid until Finn and Artie put their hands in with him.
"You guys are weird." Quinn told them.
"But that's why you love us." Finn told her as he hugged her tightly.
Finn felt relieved of the invisible burden he had been carrying for days. He had wanted to tell Quinn but wasn't sure how, it didn't go as bad as he thought it would. He was honestly expecting some tears and perhaps a fight.
Hearing Puck say that he was going to join him made him feel a lot more comfortable with his decision as well. They were Mav and Ice after all. If Artie ended up joining them that would just be icing on the cake.
"So do you stand behind my decision?" Finn curiously asked Quinn as they walked into their house.
"I may not like it," Quinn told him, "But if it makes you happy, yes."
"Thanks babe." Finn told her as he embraced her into a hug.
"Just promise me one thing." She whispered in his ear as they hugged.
"Anything."
"Don't get hurt or leave me." Quinn told him as tears began to fall down her face, "I can't stand the thought of losing you again."
Finn squeezed her tighter, "You'll never lose me." He whispered in her ear.
