Rachel nods while Quinn lets go of her hands and rests her head back against the couch letting Brittany place her head on her shoulder. After a few minutes of contemplative silence "Can we put in the movies now?" The blonde dancer asks quietly earning herself nods and an "Of course" from Rachel.
As the diva sets out getting things ready for their movie, Santana glances over at Quinn before also getting up.
"Quinn?"
It takes the blonde in question a second to realize that its Brittany calling for her, seeing as she rarely ever says her whole name, "Yea B?"
The other blonde snuggles closer and says, "I brought Duckie with me and your lamb Charlie."
Quinn cant stop the giggle from escaping and she hugs Brittany closer, "Thanks B, but can I cuddle with you a while longer? I love your hugs."
Brittany pulls back slightly looking at Quinn's face then gives her a blinding smile and wraps her arms tightly around her, "I was hoping you'd say that. I love Duckie but people cuddles are just really cool sometimes too."
Quinn nods but doesn't say anything, seemingly lost in thought.
Santana and Rachel return with a couple of large bowls of popcorn, Coke, Pepsi (when asked why the Pepsi when they already had Coke Santana had replied with,"Coke is Pepsi's bitch!") and a few pints of Ben & Jerry's ice-cream.
Rachel then quickly ran out to grab what appeared to be every pillow and blanket in the house and then tossing them out to the rest of the party, then grabbing the remote on her way back to the couch. Upon returning the diva settles herself on one side of Quinn seeing as Santana chose to practically sit on Brittany's lap. Starting the movie, the house was plunged into darkness save for the glow of the television screen.
As the movie comes to an end Rachel lightly nudges Quinn from her leaning position and quickly goes to put in the next movie, and returning just as quickly.
Santana and Brittany have switched positions by the time the diva is back, and Brittany now has her feet in Quinn's lap and Quinn is back to leaning against Rachel with the diva's arms around her.
As 'Date Night' starts to get really into it, they are all glad that it's just as good as they hoped.
During the movie Rachel takes her gaze away from the screen and looks to her companions and she cant help the smile from forming on her face as she sees the sight in front of her. Brittany is snuggled up unbelievably close to Santana and their eyes are twinkling and Brittany's hands are stroking the Latina's that are wrapped around the blonde's body. She then looks down towards Quinn and notices that the blonde was absentmindedly playing with her tan hands that are wrapped around her waist.
Rachel squeezes slightly and Quinn moves just enough to be able to look up into the diva's face and gives her a smile before turning back towards the movie, squeezing her hands back
The diva's attention returns to the movie but not before she shares a look with the other brunette. Santana gives her a real smile and a nod before going back to the movie.
An hour later finds the four of them 'awwing' at the end of the movie, and Brittany yawning adorably through her aww. Rachel notices, "You know you're both welcome to use the guest room, it's late and Brittany looks about ready to drop off right where she is."
A quiet mumble of a voice says something that sounds a lot like 'drop what off'?' but Santana already has her in her arms, "Nothing B...The room Berry?"
Rachel quickly leads the way making sure she hands them pj's from her room and also ensuring that they're settled before making her way back to the living room.
Quinn has her head resting against the arm rest of the couch and as Rachel makes her way around to the front of it she lifts her head up,"I'm good Rach, thank you for..."
"What are you talking about?" Before Quinn can even open her mouth to answer her Rachel continues, "You aren't sleeping on the couch Quinn. It would be extremely detrimental to your back and as comfortable as the couch is, sleeping in an actual bed with a proper mattress would be the best for a wonderful night's sleep!"
Quinn cuts in, "I'm not kicking you out of your bed Rachel."
The diva scoffs, "Of course you aren't! We've done this a million times! You always stay in my room...why would this time be any different?"
The blonde shakes her head, "I know we have, but it's different because the reasoning behind this sleepover is because of some drama filled chapter in my life because my boyfriend thought it was perfectly okay to cheat on me...and I don't think I'm going to be able to sleep properly and I wont ruin you sleep just be"
"Quinn! First of all, shut up please...and everyone says I ramble. Second of all...I'm not going to leave you anywhere by yourself, especially not after the 'drama filled chapter' in your life, alright? Come on, we can pop in a movie up in my room and I even have your favorite pajamas out for you."
And with that the brunette hops up and pulls Quinn along with her.
"Rach...Rachel...Rachel!"
The diva however simply continues pulling Quinn up the stairs with the blonde giggling behind her.
She takes them as quietly as she can across the hallway into her bedroom trying not to make loud noise as to not wake up the other two in the guest room across from Rachel's, all the while with Quinn trying to hold back her giggles.
Finally inside the bedroom with the door closed, "There, now. I'm going to go to the bathroom. The pajamas are right there on the bed. If you need anything or want anything else you know where everything is."
With the Rachel leaves the blonde and makes her way to her en-suite bathroom. Quinn sighs almost contentedly and gets to changing into the sheep pajamas that she loves so much. Sure they don't exactly fit her...Rachel is smaller than she is, but they're her favorite and she doesn't mind.
After she's dressed and is done folding her clothes and Rachel still hasn't returned Quinn realizes that the brunette is probably waiting for her to let her know she's done. That thought alone causes a small smile to form on her face (seems to be a common occurrence around Rachel) as she makes her way to the bathroom door, knocking lightly as calls out the brunette's name.
Almost immediately the door is opened revealing the diva clad in her pajamas as well. Quinn's smile grows larger once she notices that her pajamas have little stars on the bottoms and one larger one on the top with a little night cap and little z's around it.
Smiling back at her Rachel moves out of the door way, "The bathroom is all yours."
Before the diva is able to completely move out of the way Quinn stops her, "Thank you."
Rachel looks at her incredulously, "What for?"
"For staying cooped up, letting me take my time."
Shaking her head and laughing lightly, "Shut up Quinn, stop thanking me."
The blonde pouts at her for the 'shut up' comment but hip checks her, "Then stop saying and doing things that make me want to thank you, you goober." And with that she closes the door before Rachel can say anything.
A few minutes later and the blonde emerges fresh and ready for bed and is met with a turned down bed and pillows being rearranged. Rachel looks up and smiles at her before ushering her closer, "Okay so I've picked out two movies...But I kind of want to watch uhm...thelittlemermaid." she hurriedly mumbles the last part.
Quinn raises her eyebrow but has an amused look on her face, "What was that?"
Rachel's eyes meet hers for only a second before quickly falling to the bed, "The Little Mermaid. It's one of my favorites and I used to watch it all the time...well that and 'Sleeping Beauty' but that's for entirely different reasons, entirely, and I simply thought that perhaps if we just put it in it may help you like it helps me sometimes, however I would completely and totally,"
"Rachel?"
Quinn literally clamps a hand over the rambling diva's mouth and effectively shuts her up for the second time this evening. Smiling at her she says, "I love The Little Mermaid and I would love to watch it with you."
Rachel smiles behind the blonde's hand and nods her head, looking right at the blonde after she has yet to remove her hand with a raised eyebrow as if to say 'well?'
Quinn grins at her innocently, "How am I to know that you wont go off rambling again? As much as I love listening to what you have to say usually, that was just a bit much. I don't think you can control yourself all of a sudden."
Seeing the brunette's eyes slightly widen and then drop into an adorable glare, Quinn laughs easily and removes her hand. However unlike what she was expecting, Rachel doesn't start talking again, she smiles at her instead and grabs the DVD, puts it in and then makes her way to the head of the bed settling herself against the pillows before patting the space besides her. All without uttering a single word.
Quinn settles besides her carefully, sensing that the brunette might have something up her figurative sleeves, "Aren't you going to say anything?"
Rachel just shakes her head no, smiling and presses play on the remote.
Seeing Quinn about to question her she makes a shh-ing gesture and points to the screen. Quinn raises her eyebrow but does as she's 'told' and shuts up. However she cant stop her mind from reeling, trying to figure out what Rachel's angle is.
Not five minutes later Quinn pokes Rachel's side and sighs exasperated, "Please say something. You can't just stay quiet this whole time...no I'm sorry, you can, but I don't want you to stay quiet this whole time. Please say something."
Rachel looks at Quinn with a blank expression to which Quinn replies to with sorrowful eyes and a tiny pout, causing the diva's facade to falter and a smile to break, "Aww Quinn, I wish you could have seen your face."
The blonde just folds her arms and pouts. Chuckling Rachel reaches out and pulls Quinn into her side, "Let's watch the rest of this movie Pouty."
Gently tickling the blonde's side elicits a tiny giggle from the blonde,"There's the smile I love." Rachel coos with a gentle smile on her face.
Quinn blushes but her smile gets larger and she snuggles into Rachel's side, "Thank you."
The tiny diva tightens her arms around her and kisses the top of her head. She doesn't say anything, instead choosing to stay quiet and just rub her hands in soothing motions against the blonde's arms.
Sometime during the movie Quinn's breathing evens out and she's relaxed against the diva's side. Figuring the blonde on her arms is asleep she turns down the volume on the tv even more, but continues her ministrations against the blonde's arms, and then she starts whispering so as not to wake her up knowing that the blonde can't really hear her, but needing to say this, "You know...you don't deserve this. What he did to you. You're a wonderful, beautiful person, inside and out. Sure you don't go around showing everyone the sweet, caring side all the time and I understand you need to protect yourself, but even then everyone knows and can see that you're a good person. Head cheerleader or not. You didn't deserve what your dad put your family though. Cheating on your mom and breaking up your family the way he did...that wasn't right and I know how hard it was for you to get over that betrayal and how hard it was for you to be able to trust Finn. I know you trusted him not to hurt you. You didn't deserve when he did just that. He knew how hard it was for you to try and get over the whole ordeal with your family enough to date him and trust him. But he didnt deserve that trust Quinn. You deserve someone who can be your equal. In every way. And Finn wasn't that person. I don't think he ever was. I don't know if I ever told you but I never really thought he was right for you. You're way too good for him. You need someone who can keep up with you emotionally and intellectually, someone who's with you for all the right reasons. And you know what? You're going to find that someone...someone who's going to need you even more than you need them and someone who's going to love you for you and they're going to spend every single second showing you just how much they're glad that you're in their life. Finn was just a bump in that plan Quinn. Not every one's going to hurt you. Don't let your past stop you from finding that, don't give them the satisfaction. Show them that in spite of everything they've done, you can and will be happy. I know you will...because if you don't deserve to find that, then I don't know who is."
She kisses the top of her head and that's when she hears shuffling on the other side of her bedroom door.
"San?" She asks, only slightly raising her voice, mindful of the sleeping blonde.
She hears a distinct sound of someone bumping into something and then a harsh, whispered, "Ow! Shit!" and then what sounds like a lot of Spanish cursing that would make a sailor blush and with that Rachel, rolling her eyes, carefully extricates herself from the slumbering form of Quinn and quickly goes to check on her friend.
AN/ reviews are wonderful *big grin*
