Song: All I Ask of You by Andrew Lloyd Webber
Lyrics: Love me, that's all I ask of you.
Author's Note: Like last time, I have been completely obsessed with this song over the past few days. Phantom is definitely my all time favourite musical next to West Side Story and Les Miserables, and while I've only seen the movie, it gives me chills. No matter what people say, I love the cast they chose for it and think they did a great job. Like I said before, I'd kill to see this duet on Glee, preferably between Rachel and...well, I don't actually mind. Her character used to really annoy me but I've grown to like her, and you can't deny Lea Michele has a killer voice.
"I'm sorry for all the drama these past few days, Finn," Rachel apologized sincerely as she laid her head on her boyfriend's chest.
"I forgive you." Finn pulled Rachel into a tight embrace, his arms wrapped lovingly around her. "I forgave you days ago."
A comfortable silence filled the small space Finn called a bedroom and Barbara's voice gently oozed from the dock. Rachel never left home without her iPod and she was glad that Finn didn't mind her playing it quietly. Music calmed her: it was something she had done all her life. It was something familiar, her home away from home in a way.
"Rachel?"
Finn's soft voice pulled her out of her head. He sat up, making Rachel do the same thing in the process, their embrace falling apart.
"Yes?" she answered, hoping that what he would say next wouldn't ruin the romantic ambience.
He looked down at her. "I've been thinking...you know, ever since you asked for all those things...where do you think we're going?"
A small wrinkle appeared on Rachel's forehead as she frowned. "What do you mean?"
"I can't offer you the grand life you've always wanted, or known." He shrugged uncomfortably. "From the way my future's looking, I won't be able to give you diamonds, expensive clothes or anything like that. Even your dreams of us moving to the Big Apple seem a little far-fetched at the moment and-"
"Shh," Rachel reassured, pressing a finger softly against his lips. "Finn, I over-reacted. Barbara and the earrings - those gifts were romantic and I should've seen them for what they were: gifts from the heart. I've dreamed of being on Broadway since I knew what it was, and since joining Glee club and singing on stage, then hearing that applause...the dream has never seemed like a reality until now."
"You'll make it there. I promise you will."
"You don't need to promise me anything. Not now. Not while our relationship is just getting off the ground." She buried her head into his shoulder, the movement forcing him to lie back down and put an arm around her. "Whether New York happens or not, only time will tell. But for now, I only need you to give me one thing."
"What?"
She leaned up and planted a kiss on his lips. "The same thing you've been giving me for the past two years: your love."
A/N: This would've taken place around 3.9, the Christmas episode, An Extraordinary Merry Christmas. Just thought you'd wanna know! Also, if anyone wants to give me lyrics to adapt to a story, feel free to leave a review, but please leave one anyway!
