A/N: Hello guys! :) So I really wanted to uptade this quickly because right now I have a lot of Faberry/achele feels I have to somehow express. I miss them so much... it hurts :( Well thanks for reading so far and keep it up! :) Thank you lovely followers, viv xx


The next morning.

I think she hates me. Of course she wouldn't answer. I shouldn't have written her, it only scared her away even more. Maybe I should just stay away for a while... or maybe… I show her that – despite all of my feelings – I can be her friend, a really good one. I don't even know if that's a plan at all but I'll try.


Later in glee club.

'Okay guys this week's assignment is about showing who you really are.'

'Don't… look at me like that! I'm well aware of the fact that we know each other for about one year now but still we need to push boundaries more and discover our true – individual – strengths!'

'What do you have in mind, Mr. Shue?' Puck asks annoyed.

'I don't care! Pick a song that shows off most of you personality aka your true self! Your even have time 'till next week,' he smiles widely while holding up both is thumbs.
He is really excited and proud of his idea.

'I like it,' Rachel exclaims.

And there it is… the smile I can't hide when I hear her voice. She doesn't even need to sing. Only her voice while speaking reaches me on so many different levels. It's incredibly strange but I can't hide.

'Contain your gay!' Santana screams from behind.

'You're so rude,' I insist.

'Get over yourself, Quinnie!' she darts out her tongue.

And right in that moment Rachel looks over to 'us' and I can feel the blush on my cheeks and Santana feels my anger towards her. She probably sees it, too.

Did she hear Santana's commentary?! I hope she didn't. Well she practically screamed so it's very possible. But I don't know…
I can't identify with the look on her face. It somehow seems like she's thinking be quiet, we're having glee club. But then I see something different in her pupils: a mixture of anger and sadness with bit of fear on top of it. That means… wait that should mean… jealousy!

Is she jealous? She can't be… I mean of who would she be jealous? It's only Santana. Nah, this is probably not what she's thinking… Still I don't know her that well yet anyway to read every single expression on her face… yet!


After glee club.

'Quinn can we have a quick talk?'

I stop moving immediately. I won't dare to turn around just yet because I'm scared if I do so this is just a dream and Rachel didn't call after me at all.

'Please,' the voice pleads.

I turn around ultimately.

'Sure,' I whisper out almost not audible.

'Hey uhh,' she laughs oh so sweetly. She seems kind of nervous.

'I'm sorry I didn't answer it's just a bit much for me the last days… the break-up and glee club… okay whatever you won't even care so my point is… you better not try to win me because I'm a mess and not good enough for you anyways,' she huffs and shuffles her feet awkwardly.

My mouth just drops open, unable to speak.

'What? Say something, I need to go. My dads can't get me today so I have to walk and it's not a short way,' she quickly confesses.

'You want to walk home? You've got to be kidding me, right?'

Rachel looks up from the floor, obviously still nervous.

'I'll drive you – now. No objections!'

And then without thinking for a second I grab her wrist and pull her out to my car. As we reach it she says 'You really don't have to… I'm fine!'

'Rachel,' I just have to say her name and look into her sad face to know just what to do. She just smiles weakly as I open the car door for her.

As we are both ready I turn on the engine. We leave the school area and I notice how she relaxes and sinks further into my seat. A small smile escapes my lips.

'You know we could be friends.' There it goes out of my lips without even thinking, again. 'Sorry I'm not thinking properly today I just won't shut up somehow…'

'Yes,' Rachel hisses and it sounds like a relief.

I slightly turn my head as I arrive at Rachel's home. 'What?'

'We could… I mean, … we can, yes, we can be friends, Quinn.' And suddenly she smiles and it's an honest smile which makes me really happy.

'Really?'

'We can try, right?' Maybe for now you could stop being so mean all the time?'

'I'm so sorry… and yes! '
Rachel smiles again.

'Oh and by the way… why couldn't your dads pick you up?'

'Oh uhm they're gone for the week or so,' Rachel lets out a small sigh.

'No way! You're alone and…'

'Quinn I'm alright. I'm not a small girl or something.'

I laugh. 'Yeah I definitely see that lil hobbit,' and embarrassingly enough I even start checking her out… kind of.

'Hey you know what? Why don't you come in and we hand out a bit now?'

'You serious? 10 minutes ago you said something completely different…' Now I'm really confused.

'Sorry I just, I guess I'm really lonely…' Rachel looks down.

'Oh shit, sorry, please don't start to cry now! Look I didn't mean it like that… whatever I said wrong, I am so sorry and of course I'd like to stay, I just wanted to make sure you really want me to!' I hiss.

As she looks up a small tear escapes her eye-lid and I can't hold it back and hug her. So I lean over and hug her and she doesn't stop me. I part from her seconds later and brush my hand over her cheek to wash away that tear and then she giggles… simply cute.

'So… you wanna come in?' her voice sounds full of hope and it shocks me but at the same time it makes me unbelievably happy.

'Hmm… I dunno.'

'What?' she turns to look at me in fury.

'Just kidding, on my way!' I laugh.

I close the car and follow her into her home. She walks straight for what seem like the living-room and I enter the room too she hops on the couch. Yeah, living-room.

'So what you wanna do? Wanna watch a movie maybe?'

'Whatever you like, Rach. I'm your guest,' but I'd really like to watch a movie, turn the lights off and cuddle with you… never mind.

'Well… okay… how about Pitch Perfect?' Rachel smirks.

Did she just really smirk?

'Oh hey that movie is cool! Sure.' I am not going to tell her that I ship BeChloe – never ever! Quinn Fabray don't!

'Awesome!' she gets up and walks towards a shelf with DVD's.

We settle down next to each other on the couch and she actually turns off the light.
'Is this okay? I like it more like this if I watch a movie… then it's like in a cinema or theatre.'

'You're really cute and of course it's fine, I like it that way better, too!' And then I blush… gladly the light is already out.

'I'm… I'm cute? Did you really say that?' her voice squeaks and in the corner of my eyes I can see she's looking at me. I slightly turn my head to look at her.

'Yep.'

'And you're being really sweet. Thank you!'

My heat skips a beat, of course… now it's beating faster. This ain't supposed to happen… I wanted to be her friend not her creep in disguise.

'Start the DVD, will you?'

The shower-scene comes up in which Beca gets surprised by a naked Chloe daring her to sing for her if she ever wants to leave this shower again – 100% girl-on-girl eye-sex.
I know the scene by heart – watched it about a thousand times so I carefully let my eyes wander to my left where Rachel sits pretty closely to me.

As Chloe enters Beca's shower Rachel licks her lips and then starts biting her lower lip which is really hot and it's kind of turning me on… fuck.

I lock my eyes on the TV trying to forget the hot image. Trying to forget that this is happening right next to me. Just in this moment Rachel shifts strangely and her right leg suddenly touches my left but I'm not willing to pull away… or rather not strong enough to do so.
I don't look down … keep staring at that TV, Fabray!

And then from the corner of my eye I discover that she is watching me this time… watching if I like the scene as well. Well, why not go with it?

I start smirking while looking at the TV and then I bite my lower lip just like she did before.

And I slightly see her mouth drop open just a bit.

'You know I think they have an awesome connection, don't you think so, too?'
Rachel says as she leans in just bit more.

I can't look away any longer as I turn my head I discover that she is indeed pretty close.

'Yeah, totally! Like the eye-say they're having in all their scenes together… it's inventible actually,' I confess.

What was that earlier about… not telling her you ship BeChloe? Why, good job. But it seems like she ships them, too? I just ask.

'Hold on! You ship them, too?' It's me smirking this time.

'Kind of… a bit… maybe a lot?' and this time it's her blushing and thanks to the TV-light I can see it.

'Is that so, huh?' I can't hold my laughter back any longer.

'Stop it, Quinn! Yeah I ship them,' Rachel confesses and returns her eyes to the TV.

'That's all I wanted to hear, honey.'

Suddenly she shoots a glare at me.

'What is it?' I giggle.

'Oh nothing, babe,' she answers with easy.

Oh shue… She is one cute thing I cannot resist.

Slowly or rather fast in a sad way the movie comes to an end and Rachel pulls out the DVD in anger. 'I love the finale songs, I really do but Jesse and Beca it just won't fit... Ever!'

'Calm down, cutie I am sure that the writers for pitch perfect 2 must've seen all the hype about the 2 girls and will make our love story come true, you just have to wait another 3 years or so.. Until this day, you will have to settle down with Fanfiction,' I laugh and blush lightly because I read one almost every day.

'Oh my god... Don't tell me that the one and only meanie beanie Quinn Fabray reads Fanfics? This is too much for me,' Rachel stares at me.

'Major shock? Yes of course I do read Fanfics,' I hesitate to answer.

'Major life change I'd rather say.'

'Oh wow I am already life changing to you?'

'Well you kind of always been,.. You know,' she scruffs.

'Oh sh... I'm sorry... Please don't blame past Quinn. I am really trying to change but if you tell me each and every day that I was a total shit person this won't help you and me either... I know I suck hard but I'm trying really... Please let's have a fresh start from tomorrow on?' I raise my voice.

'Sorry I didn't know that older you bugged you that much... That was stupid… I didn't mean to upset you... Let's have a new start but ...' Rachel looks at me.

'Oh you have conditions?' I ask already sounding willing to take them all.

'No… but let's start today not tomorrow. Or did you not like it this far?' Rachel smiles.

'You're totally right. It was really comfortable and sweet today I'm not gonna lie.'

'Good! Are you hungry? I don't have any meat and stuff as you know I'm vegetarian but anyways,' Rachel offers.

'I actually am hungry but isn't this too much of an effort? I can just go home and eat something, its ok,' I mention.

'No not much of an effort I have to cook for myself so why not for two? I mean if you wanna go home that's fine but I just thought I'd be fun ... Maybe?'

'Believe me I'd rather not go home just yet. So I stay but let me help you ok? Oh and hey can we turn on the radio I like to listen to some music while cooking and plus we can dance around,' I blush.

Why did I just say that?!

'Ohh that's what I usually do, too! That's just great! I'm glad you're staying,' she leans in closer and kisses my cheek.

Just like that I fell a little more for her... Well played Berry. 1 for butterflies to 0 for Quinn.


The Berry's kitchen.

She turns on the radio and starts jumping around the kitchen preparing the food that needs to be cooked. 'What are we gonna eat anyways?'

'I'm really in the mood for some potatoes with something… not quite sure yet.' She cheers.

'Okay but can I be honest with you?' I ask carefully.

'Of course, always – something wrong?'

'Well I don't really eat potatoes, I know this sounds strange but I just get sick from them… I don't like the taste… you have something else? Maybe spaghetti?'

'Oh gosh, of course! Sorry, I didn't know then let's to spaghetti with a tomato sauce, you okay with that?' she smiles.

'That sounds amazing! Thank you and you couldn't have known, it's alright!'

'Okay the plan is you cook the spaghetti and I prepare the sauce?'

'Perfect!'
