The Finn-ish Line

Note: this is my first Glee fic so please be gentle

Inspired by the sexy look and growl Finn gave Tina in 'Hell-o' and I admit to being a bit of a Finn/Tina (Fina/Tinn?) fan :p

Dear sweet Lord! Kurt thought he was having palpitations as he watched the way Finn strutted and rolled his body around the gleeks as he gave his performance of The Doors' 'Hello, I Love You'. He could barely speak when the star quarterback had moved near him – this would fuel his Finn-fantasies for some time to come.

Finn had no idea what had come over him when he began his song – all he knew was that it suddenly unleashed his inner rockstar and it felt great! The sense of freedom and being able to be whoever he wanted was phenomenal as was the knowledge that he had regained his top stud status with the most popular girls in the school – The Cheerios. However, it wasn't a cheerleader's uniform that had caught his eye.

It had been a momentous decision when Finn Hudson, jock and all-round Mr. Popularity, had joined Glee Club and it was clear to all that he hadn't initially felt comfortable with this new circle of misfits and, well, geeks. Between Kurt the fashionista; the diva-like Mercedes; over-achieving, over-bearing Rachel and the thick-lensed, wheelchair-bound Artie, Finn was in no doubt that he was the coolest kid in the class.

The only person who he hadn't been sure about was the goth girl with the blue streaks and stutter who seemed to do nothing but glare defensively at everyone – everyone that was, except Artie. With her dark clothing and black make-up, Tina Cohen-Chang was unlike anyone else he had known but that all changed when it came out that her stutter had been faked and a rift was created between her and the boy that Coach Sylvester so callously nick-named 'Wheels'. Gone was the 'don't-care' attitude to be replaced by a softer, more open side although the chains, big boots and make-up remained the same. Now, she appeared more vulnerable – more like everyone else.

As he sang his way into the Glee Club's rehearsal room, he hadn't initially noticed anyone in particular since all eyes were on him anyway and as he neared the finale, he spotted just the person who could take his purring delivery of 'I want you. I need my baby.'

He was struck by her outfit that day, black mesh top which showed the white vest underneath and red net tutu with fitted black underskirt all topped off by one of her many hats which, today, was a black and red-striped beanie.

Finn loved the way Tina had cheekily responded to his approach, pouting and shoulder-shimmying with him, letting her silver chains swing in time to the motion. He hadn't noticed before how pretty she was when she smiled and how her whole face lit up and the way it made him wonder why she chose to face the world with a sulky mask most of the time.

If she had been any other girl, Tina knew that she would have swooned into a puddle of goo when Finn had sung to her. But she was not any other girl, she was the goth – emo – alternative – (it seemed nobody could decide outright what label to put on her) girl and she had a reputation to maintain. Sure, she still got slushied for the way she looked and for being in Glee Club but that was partly her decision. Tina realised that had she chosen to hang out purely with the goth kids, then she probably would have avoided most, or all, of the slushies that had come her way but she didn't. Instead, she had chosen to throw her lot in with a bunch of social outcasts, especially a crippled boy and look how that had turned out.

Nevertheless, she wouldn't have it any other way. Being a 'gleek' gave her an outlet for her emotions, to sing away her troubles and she enjoyed every second of it and besides, it turned out that Glee club wasn't just for geeks – look at Puck and the other jocks and the two Cheerios.

She had watched in detached amusement at how the Finn/Quinn/Rachel/Puck scenario had played out – glad that she wasn't so dumb as to get involved in anything like that. No, she told herself disgustedly, you prefer to lie to the one guy you actually care about and you have to make it a big lie! Nope, she wasn't one to throw stones at anyone else and she was glad that she wasn't about to start getting stupid and needy about someone else as Rachel was doing with Finn now that they seemed to become an item.

In any case, there was no point speculating because Tina knew that a guy like Finn would never be interested in girl like her, would he?

Many sincere and humble apologies for the title – it's so cheesy, I had to use it!

So that's my first effort, what do you think? should i continue? Please review x
