DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT own Glee or the characters.
Happy reading! :)
After Quinton stopped infront of the Berry's residence, he went out, opened Rachel's door for her.
"Thank you Quinton, you're so chivalrous", she grinned
"Thanks!", "Oh yeah, I wanted to ask you something", he told her.
"Yeah?"
"I was wondering if you're free tonight?"
Rachel nodded.
"Well, I was wondering whether you would uh,wanna go out, to dinner? With me? Du-uh,with me of course", he rambled.
"You know, you're cute when you ramble", Rachel giggled.
"Well, uh-"
"Relax, and yes, I would definetly love to", Rachel agreed as she grabbed his face and kissed him. "I just noticed something", she told him.
"Hmm?"
"You didn't shave today", she told him.
"Oh, yeah, I kinda forgot. Overslept today", he lied.
"Well, I like it, it's kinda scruffy and it's sexy", she winked.
"Uh, thanks? I guess", "Anyways, I'll pick you up at seven?"
"Okay, where are we going?", she asked.
"Not gonna tell", he sing-songed, and chuckled.
"Hmmmmpffff", Rachel huffed. "You know I don't like surprises", she told him.
"Well, this one is, don't worry, I'm not gonna kidnap you and do stuff", he winked.
She slapped his arm, "Quinton!", she giggled.
"But seriously though, dinner, you and me, wear whatever you feel comfortable, but you know, at least like..clothes?", "cause I'm pretty sure If I said that to either Britney or Santana, or both!, they would just wear like, a bikini, or worse, nothing", he replied, muttering and both teenagers cringed at the mental pictures that they got.
"So, I 'll see you later?", he said.
"Yes", they leaned in and kissed.
He waited until she was safe in her house and the door was locked and then he remembered something, he quickly ran back to the door and knocked.
Rachel opened it and he said, "I love you!", and he ran back to the car.
He could hear Rachel's giggles and he saw Rachel smiling and closing the door again.
Over at the Fabrays…
"MOMMY! I'm home!", he yelled out as he locked the door behind him and put his backpack onto the couch.
"Hi sweetie!", Judy went up to him and kissed his cheek.
"BLERRRGH! KISSES! AHHHH!", he joked around.
"Oh, shush you, you're still my baby boy", his mother laughed and slapped his arm.
"Oh, mom, I am gonna take Rachel out to dinner tonight, hope that's okay with you?"
"Oh, yes! Definetly! Go out, have fun, but not too much fun if you know what I mean", she winked as she walked to the kitchen.
"MOM! God, I wonder whether you're like, still 16 or something", he chuckled.
"Well, your dad made me feel like I am 16 though son", "I really do miss him"
Quinton Alexander Fabray's dad was a hero, to him, in his eyes. And the 'dad' topic was really a tough topic to touch on. His dad died while trying to save Quinn/Quinton while their old house was on fire. She /he waited for an hour as the house that was blazing on fire was being tolerated by the firefighters. But, no one came out of the door, the window, nothing. Russell Fabray took his life as he tried to save his own. To Quinn/Quinton's eyes, he's a hero.
"Yeah, so do I mom", he sighed as he went to hug his mom. "You know I love you, bro"
His mom chuckled as she embraced her son, "I love you too bro, I got your back forever okay?"
"I know it", he smiled.
"OH! Since you're going out with Rachel tonight, I got something that you could give her. She took the ring off her finger and gave it to him.
He gasped, "M-mom, it-it's your, yours and dad's, I ca-can't take it", he held back his tears.
"No, it's mine. I have your dad's, he gave his to me before he, he went to get you that night",she let a few tears fall.
He slowly took it from his mom's hand and hugged her once again.
"I love you mom, I really do", he hugged her tightly.
"Alright, enough of this sappy sap", she chuckled.
"I love Rachel mom, I don't know, she makes me want to be better, a better person, a better man and I don't know-, I feel like I can do anything", he continued.
"Ah, young love, I know how that felt like", his mom smiled. "Just promise me something?"
"Yeah?"
"Don't, never, ever let her go. If you, excuse my French, fuck things up with her, go and fix it, because she makes you happy, and I can see that", she laughed and smiled.
"Promise"
"Alright, go and clean up, you smell like sweat"
Quinton showered, in his towel, he went to his closet. He couldn't get through his head what to wear. T-shirt? Tux?
He decided to wear t-shirt and jeans. He was wearing a 'Rolling Stones' shirt and jeans and a jacket. He put on some cologne and put on his sneakers and went downstairs, grabbed his keys and when he opened his key pouch, there was a note that said;
Q, here's some $$ for the date. Love you, mom/your bro.
He laughed and yelled out, "THANKS MOM!", and he locked the door, and drove to the Berrys'.
He knocked on the Berrys' door and a moment later, he was greeted by Liam and Hiram.
"Hey Liam and Hiram", he smiled.
"Hello Quinton", "Come in!", smiled both dads.
"So, where are you taking our princess tonight?", Liam asked.
"Well, I was thinking that new place? The vegetarian food thingy?", he chuckled.
"Oh! Right, well, take care of her okay boy?"
"With my life, sirs", he chuckled as he saluted them.
The house was filled with laughter after jokes and they were laughing until Quinton saw Rachel looking at him.
He took a while to take in what he saw. Rachel, her hair, cascading on her shoulders, her eyes were black with help of what he guessed, mascara and eyeliner, her lips were beautifully natural, she was wearing jeans and a short dress with a jacket.
After he took a while, he got up and said, "You look beautiful", he said.
Rachel blushed and said, "Thanks, you don't look too bad yourself"
He took her hand into his and turned around to the two parental units, "I'll have her back by 11?"
They both smiled and nodded and literally shoo-ed them out.
In the car…
"You really do look beautiful tonight baby", he said, while driving.
"Thanks, I didn't know what to wear", she admitted.
"I don't care babe, you look beautiful in anything", "I swear", he said.
He pulled up into the parking lot and helped to open her car door and closed it and locked the car.
"Oh my god! Season Vegan Place! I couldn't get a place in this restaurant for a while now! It was always so full. How did you manage to get us a table?", Rachel said excitedly.
"Well, my mom knows the owner of this place, and he owed her for some things in the past, I mean, that's what she said", he looked at the place. It looked, expensive.
After being seated at the table, a waiter comes up and asked them for their drinks.
"can I have some iced tea please?", Rachel asked
"make that two", Quinton said.
"Sure thing, I will be back with you shortly", the waiter smiled and left.
"So.."
"So…", "What did you do today?", Quinton asked.
"Well, I went home, took a nap, Skyped with Santana and Britney, showered and got ready. Oh, and I got some homework done", "You?"
"Well, got home, and talked to my mom, abou uh- about, dad"
"Oh", Rachel looked into his eyes, she knew this was a hard topic for him. Especially when he thinks that it was his fault that his dad wasn't here anymore. "Babe, I'm sure he's proud of you", she lifted his chin up and kissed his cheek.
"Thanks", he smiled. "Got some homework done, and wrote a song an-"
"You wrote a song?"
"Y-yeah", "I promise I'll let you listen to it, maybe later?", "If we still have time?"
"sure baby", she said as she thanked the waiter for coming with their drinks.
After they ordered food, and laughed after joke, after joke, Quinton said, "Rach, I have something for you"
"What is it?", she asked as she wiped her mouth with the napkin.
Quinton took out a small box from his jacket pocket which he found in his room, inside the box, the ring that his mom gave.
He opened it, and the ring shone brightly.
"Oh- oh Quinton", Rachel said as she saw the box he held up.
He took out the ring, and put the box away and he held her hand into his.
"Rachel Barbra Berry, I know we're still young to get married and stuff, but this is not a engagement ring, it's actually a promise ring. A promise that I'll always be here for you, a promise that I'll try my best to make you smile, a promise, to love you, forever and always. I know I'll marry you one day, I can already see it, but right now, this'll have to do, so, will you accept my ring?", he smiled.
"Q, you always had me, and always will. So yes", Rachel smiled and let a few tears fall as she saw Quinton slid the ring onto her finger and kissing her hand. "I love you, god, I love you so much", he said.
"I love you too", she said to him.
After paying for the meal, they both went out and he suggested that they should take a walk in the park.
After a while walking in the park hand-in-hand, he noticed that she was cold. So, he took off his jacket and put it on her. "There, you go, babe", he smiled.
"Thank you", she smiled.
"I have something to ask you", Rachel said with a sad tone.
"Yeah babe?"
"Will you ever break up with me?"
"Babe, ohmygod, no, never. Never in a gajillion years, I meant what I said, I'll love you, forever and always", "Because I love you this much!", he said as he held out his hands as wide as they could get.
Rachel laughed and held his arms.
"I love you too, you know", she told him.
"I know, eventhough I'm a nerd and a dork", he joked.
"But hey, you're my nerdy dork", she winked and smiled.
"I'm always yours", he swore.
He walked to her front door and she said, "I had a fantastic time tonight Q, thank you, for everything", she kissed him.
"No problem, i think your dads are watching us"
"NO WE'RE NOT!", one of Rachel's dads yelled out.
Both teens laughed and Rachel told him, "well, they're 2 gay men and they're so similar as Kurt and Mercedes", she smiled.
"They're pretty amazing", he told her.
"That, they are", she nodded.
"You better go in, I'm pretty sure they wanna know the details", he chuckled.
"Yeah, text me when you get home?", she asked.
"I will, love you Rach", he told her.
"I love you more", she said.
"Impossible"
"Very possible", she giggled.
After their goodbyes, she went in her house and he did not leave until he heard the door lock click and he went to his car and drove home.
After he got home, his mom was fast asleep in her room, with the TV on. He switched it off, and put the blanket on her. And he whispered, "love you mom"
He went up to his room, and texted Rachel.
To: Rach
Hey baby, I'm home, getting ready for bed. Love you :)
Rachel was at home, also getting ready for bed after a fun time telling her dads what happened and the details during the date. After showing them the ring, they both cried and it was a hard time trying to calm them down because they brought up pictures of when she was younger and they were yelling in the house, "OUR BABY'S BROWING UP! NOOOOO! MY BAABY!".
After a while, they just literally ran out of tears and they went straight to bed after they said goodnight.
They're definetly something, she thought, and giggled.
She heard her phone buzz, so she read the text and smiled.
To: Quinton
Glad you're home babe. You had no idea what I went through, dads were crying all over the place when I showed them the ring and they brought up pictures of me when I was smaller and they went straight to bed.
To: Rach
Awwwww, well, you are growing up, and as I'm growing, I'm loving you. Alright, I'm being a sap now.
To: Quinton
I like it when you're sappy, I love it. I'm going to go sleep now, I'm so worn out. Sorry byy.
To: Rach
Only you though, my sapness can reveal itself. Oh, okay. It's okay babe, sleep is important. I LOVE YOU RACHIE BEAR.
Rachel laughed as she read the last text and she saved it.
To: Quinton
That's cute ;p I love you too Quinnie Bear :) I'll see you tomorrow handsome.
To: Rach
:) I'll see you tomorrow too, beautiful. Love you.
Rachel's heart did flips as she read the last text and she dozed off to sleep with a smile.
