Day 1:
Rachel and Quinn lay on their bed, face burning with embarrassment as the screams continued. The room temperature shot up by 10 degrees.
OH GOD YESSSS, HARDER BABY.
OH GOSH THAT FEELS SOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD.
The atmosphere between them thickened with fog of awkwardness.
"I think….we should try to sleep." Rachel murmured, avoiding Quinn's gaze as she scrambled to her feet to reach for the lights. She tripped over the bags of items and cursed slightly under her breath.
"Yes yes, we should." Quinn agreed for the first time since they arrived. She tucked herself beneath the blanket and tossed away from Rachel. They briefly contemplated if they should freshen up first before another scream invaded their thoughts. They decided against it.
They tucked the blanket beneath their chin, trying very hard not to touch each other in the confined space that they were sharing.
HARDER BABY… HARDER.
And they blushed further, pulling the blanket over their heads to muffle the screams. They got louder instead.
GOSH, RIGHT..YEAH.
YEAH... I LIKE IT WHEN YOU DO..OHHH.
After a few minutes of trying, Rachel gave up. She bolted up from the bed and switched on the lights, her face as red as tomato.
"Lights Rachel." Quinn mumbled under the blanket.
"How long are you trying to pretend to sleep?" Rachel questioned, her hands tucked beneath her breast. Her heart was racing for unknown reason.
"Forever." Quinn replied without intention to roll out of the bed, opting for the Fabray style of sweeping things under the carpet. Clearly, Rachel was not giving Quinn that option. Rachel gripped the edge of the blanket and tried to pull it off her. Quinn reacted by gripping it even tighter over her head. They fought the blanket match, refusing to budge.
AHHHHHH...
"Get it off Quinn." Rachel exclaimed, using two hands and muscles which she never knew existed. Quinn reiterated by rolling the blanket over her body. "No." Her voice muffled by the blanket. Rachel scowled.
"Get it off! We need to talk without the blanket." Rachel chided, frustration overwhelmed her.
"No."
Feeling exasperated, Rachel used her body weight to tug the blanket. "I said we need to-" Without warning, Quinn rolled off the blanket and Rachel surged forward with a thump. When she looked up, Quinn's face was so red that she could almost feel the heat radiating from her face.
"What is there to talk about?" She grunted, her eyes looking anywhere but at Rachel.
OH OH I'M COMING.
And their blush deepened.
"I can't sleep with them …screaming like that." Rachel bit her lips awkwardly, noticed that Quinn was breathing harder as well.
"Is that what you wanna talk about?"
Rachel pushed herself off the floor. She reached out to Quinn, her embarrassment was replaced with excitement that almost made Quinn blushed further.
"One solution - Let's sing." She flashed her pearly whites.
Quinn contemplated. It didn't seem like a bad idea, definitely better than the screams that were getting way louder now.
COMING BABY...COMING SO BAD.
"Okay, something loud." Quinn nodded and for the second time of the day, came to a mutual agreement. Quinn saw Rachel's grin reached her eyes and she schooled her face to prevent a smile emerging because of that smile.
"You first." Rachel tucked her lower lips under her teeth, her mind browsing for an appropriate song. She frowned slightly, realizing that she didn't have a song suitable for...a situation like this.
"Okay, I have a song now." Quinn stood up from the bed while Rachel threw her the comb.
"Do a mike test!" Quinn scowled, but did it anyway. Rachel did an OK sign and Quinn started, softly.
Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Rachel swayed her shoulders to the beat and snapped her fingers.
Quinn closed her eyes, as the familiar words rolled off her tongue.
Do you ever wanna run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on, turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming
No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels alright
You don't know what it's like, to be like me
And finally, she stood up still with her eyes still closed, memories and heartaches drenching her like an open tap.
To be hurt, to feel lost, to be left out in the dark
To be kicked, when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
When no one's there to save you
"No you don't know what it's like..."Quinn's voice drifted off to a soft sigh. She dropped back to the bed, suddenly feeling emotionally drained.
As she opened her eyes, she was taken aback when she realized Rachel was staring at her, so intense that she felt penetrated. When did all that snapping stop? Rachel leaned forward so close that they were now breathing the same air. She reached out to Quinn and she flickered slightly. Gently, Rachel brushed her hand against Quinn's face, like she was afraid of hurting her. It was then that she realized tears were rolling down her face.
"Welcome to my life." She whispered and eased away from Rachel. She sniffed and averted her gaze to the ground, embarrassed. Rachel heaved a soft sigh and busied herself with her hands, giving Quinn a moment of privacy.
THAT FEELS SO GOODDDDD
Quinn cleared her throat. "What's yours?" She asked, hoping to diffuse the tension and the sudden outburst from their neighbour. Rachel frowned. She had not have a song ready yet. In fact, she was so engrossed with Quinn's performance that it was thrown to the back of her head.
She gazed up at Quinn, thinking before something inside her twinkled.
She had the perfect song.
She took the comb from Quinn and did a mike test. Quinn rolled her eyes at her, mildly surprised that her annoying gesture made her feel better instantly. Rachel grinned and before she sing, she winked.
You're way too beautiful girl
That's why it'll never work
You'll have me suicidal, suicidal
When you say it's over
She pointed to Quinn with an exaggerated sadness on her face.
Damn all these beautiful girls
They only wanna do your dirt
They'll have you suicidal, suicidal
When they say it's over
She skipped to behind Quinn and swung her to her left. The expression on her face was so comical that Quinn had to bit her lips from laughing out loud.
See it started at the park
Used to chill at the dark
Oh when you took my heart
That's when we fell apart
Coz we both thought
That love lasts forever (lasts forever)
Then she pushed her to her right.
They say we're too young
To get ourselves sprung
Oh we didn't care
We made it very clear
And they also said
That we couldn't last together (last together)
She spun Quinn around until she was facing her. Her face lightened up when she finally saw Quinn smiling widely. Quinn Fabray hardly had smiles that reach her eyes. Her heart skipped a beat knowing she was the one who had made her smile like that.
See it's very define, girl
One of a kind
But you mush up my mind
You walk to get declined
Oh Lord...
My baby is driving me crazy
Rachel took a step back, her hands traced Quinn's figure. Quinn blushed slightly at her gesture and playfully swatted her hand away.
You're way too beautiful girl
That's why it'll never work
You'll have me suicidal, suicidal
When you say it's over
Damn all these beautiful girls
They only wanna do your dirt
They'll have you suicidal, suicidal
When they say it's over
The look on Quinn face made Rachel's heartbeat quickened. Her tears were no longer running and the pure joy on her face just set her heart on fire. Her hand surged forward to Quinn's before her mind could register. Quinn's brows rose, slightly taken aback at her sudden gesture. Rachel blinked, as though surprised herself. There were so many things running through her mind that she couldn't come out with anything concrete. Her thoughts scrambled everywhere. But when she opened her mouth, the words rolled out beautifully.
"Quinn, you're alot better than you think you are." She whispered, eye shimmering with conviction.
Quinn felt herself lost in her words, the familiar sourish sensation burning her lids. She suppressed the urge to tear again.
I'M COMING! OH GOD.
Quinn and Rachel blinked. All tension, embarrassment and awkwardness morphed to amusement.
Rachel felt a ripple of laughter balling inside her. When she saw Quinn's face red from trying to swallow her laughter, she succumbed to the laughing devil. Her body shook violently and tears of laughter were now tumbling down her face.
Quinn let out a rib-shaking laugh and Rachel found herself laughing along with her. It was then, realization dawned onto her that for the first time, she was laughing with Quinn Fabray and not being laughed at by Quinn Fabray.
It felt so damn good to watch Quinn laugh and even better to laugh with her.
"This has to be the most hilarious situation to be in, ever." Quinn coughed out, her stomach in pain from laughing so hard. Rachel nodded, trying to muffle her laughter which was getting louder with a pillow.
And for the third time in the day, they agreed with each other.
XOXOXOXOXOXO
Day 2:
Rachel brushed her teeth in a downward motion, trying to calm her racing heart. God, she felt like she's about to have a heart attack, the feeling of Quinn's breath on her neck while she was sleeping overwhelmed every particle in her body. She blushed, trying to concentrate on brushing her teeth. She counted to twenty before she moving on to the next tooth, using whatever willpower she had to focus on her task.
She was mildly successful when the door budged open and a sleepyhead Quinn dragged her body into the toilet. Rachel blushed again for unknown reason. It couldn't be because Quinn looked so damn adorable when her hair was messy right?
Quinn turned and blinked, slightly surprised to find Rachel in the toilet.
"Gosh, so all these weren't a nightmare?"She grumpily murmured and grabbed her toothbrush. Rachel glared at her and tried to focus on her task. But Quinn was making it damn hard by looking...that way.
They brushed in silence, making no attempt to strike a conversation.
Rachel spited the foam in her mouth and started brushing her bottom set of teeth, all the while trying to avoid looking at Quinn in the mirror.
Quinn, oblivious of all these tension, ran her hand through her hair, trying to tame it as much as possible. Rachel felt her eyes gravitated to that sight – Quinn with a messed up hair looked so...
Quinn spited the foam in her mouth and Rachel was snapped out of her state. She noticed her breathing got harder and tried her ultimate best to calm her racing heart which was excited for whatever reason.
Rachel spited and her hand quickened its pace, suddenly desperate to get out of the toilet
Quinn imitated her.
When their gaze met through the mirror, they lingered slightly longer than they should. Then Quinn smirked, which no doubt spelt challenge.
That's so childish Quinn Fabray. Rachel rolled her eyes.
Afraid of losing? Quinn arched an eyebrow, questioning.
Bring it on.
Rachel spited the foam in her mouth and hastily did a couple more brushes. She was not even halfway through her routine. She had to pick up her pace if she really wants to win this silly stupid competition with Quinn. Her hand worked faster and her eyes averted to Quinn every second.
She watched as Quinn rinsed her mouth and threw back the toothbrush into the cup, an annoying triumphant smile on her face.
"Have fun brushing Baby Rach."She chirped and whistled as she strolled out.
XOXOXOXOXOXO
Quinn briefly averted her gaze to the toilet, a smile playing on her lips. She loved that annoyed look on Rachel's face. She stifled an oncoming laughter. It's so easy to poke Rachel in the wrong way. She whistled, mood brightened up.
She took out the shirt and jeans which they had bought yesterday and paused.
Rachel would probably take a couple more minutes before she's done brushing her teeth (speaking from experience, afterall they did had a couple of field trips together).
She shrugged and threw her shirt and pants off, positive that she could make it before Rachel's out. She was halfway through her jeans before the toilet door burst opened.
Rachel, with her toothbrush and tooth paste still in her mouth stormed out of the bathroom.
"Quinn Fabray that was..." She stopped on her track.
"...cheating." The words rolled out on its own. She blinked, twice.
For a moment, nobody moved and the world seemed to halt...
...before all hell broke loose.
"OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD."
Quinn's legs tangled in her jeans as she tried hastily to pull them up her legs. She lost her balance and fell forward to the bed. She spun around and grabbed her shirt, her jeans halfway through her thighs.
"What the HECK BERRY!"
"I'm SO SORRY! WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY!" Rachel turned around, blood gushing to her face.
"DON'T YOU KNOCK?"
"KNOCK ON THE TOILET DOOR?"Rachel scoffed. Quinn was being ridiculous.
"Just shut up and roll back to the toilet!" Quinn hissed.
"Don't tell me what to do!"Rachel exclaimed but ran back to the toilet anyway.
With her back against the toilet door, she tried to catch her breath and push out the images of Quinn's half-naked body which were now attacking her every sense.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Quinn was giving her the silence treatment, which was so unfair. It wasn't even her fault. She scowled at was the victim as well. After seeing those… those images, they have been stuck at the back of her eyelids, traumatizing her. She bit her lips to stop a smile creeping up her face.
Quinn Fabray half-naked.
A blush colored her face as she trailed behind Quinn, lost in her thoughts.
"Free burgers for all drive-through. One redemption each. Complementary from Gay Town burger joint."
Quinn paused on her track and Rachel ended up knocking hard against her back. Quinn growled and spun around, her brows knitted together and her face squashed together in displeased. Rachel Berry was really annoying her to the max. Rachel swallowed a lump in her throat nervously and looked away.
"Free burgers for all drive-through. One redemption each. Complementary from Gay Town burger joint."
Quinn took in a deep breath and closed her eyes, trying to calm the anger and annoyance towards the petite brunette. They still have 7 days together and being angry with each other will not help the damn screwed up situation.
"Hungry?"
Rachel's head tilted up and the flashed in the chocolate-brown eyes almost evaporated all the anger in her. Rachel nodded.
"Almost to the extent of starvation."
Quinn coughed out a laugh, amused again by the drama queen infront of her.
"I have the perfect idea for free food."Quinn smirked, the excitement and joy in the hazel eyes made Rachel's heart skipped a beat. "It's alittle desperate and would require alittle bit of your acting skills..." Quinn continued. "...And most importantly, your dying promise that what happens in Gay Town, stays in Gay Town." She ended in a serious tone, her eyes fixated on Rachel, unwavering
Rachel's brows perked curiously.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXO
"Thank you and have a nice day!" The server greeted. He choked on his saliva when he saw two girls, a blonde and a petite brunette riding on a bicycle through their drive-through.
"Hi, can we have two vegan burgers please."The petite brunette grinned a little too widely. He blinked and scanned his surrounding, expecting a hidden camera somewhere. He scratched his head at the bizarreness of the situation.
"Sorry Miss, but only for drive- through."He said, suddenly embarrassed. The petite brunette's grin widened.
"Drive-through, ride-through, aren't they the same?"She chirped and her hand wrapped around the blonde who was avoiding his gaze.
Well, technically speaking...they were indeed somewhat the same... His eyes roamed from the brunette to the blonde and back.
"OK, two burgers. Anything else?" He sighed, still amused by the situation.
The brunette paused. Hell, since they were already there, they might as well make full use of the deal. Afterall, actresses improvised from their script right? With a swift motion, the brunette hopped off the bicycle. The blonde turned around, fear and horror flickering on her face. The brunette beckoned to the server to lean closer towards her, her eyes surveying her surrounding before she whispered.
"Can we redeem additional 2 burgers for my twins? Little..er.. Barbara and Lucy..." The server widened his eyes impossibility. "…who at the present moment, are inside my belly?" She rubbed her flat stomach affectionately with a grin.
The server scratched his head again. After 3 years of working at Gay Town Burger Joint, this was definitely another first.
"Sorry Miss, technically speaking, foetus aren't really a human being yet..."He cleared his throat, trying to sound less offensive. He saw the blonde face palm and shook her head, clearly embarrassed.
"But they can't be humans if they are starving in me..."She pouted and the server felt himself melting at her pout. "My poor Barbara and Lucy..." She continued and turned to the blonde. "Quinnie, the mother of my babies, our little ones may need to starve…" She cried.
The server hung his head low, slightly ashamed, oblivious of the killer glares darting from the blonde to the brunette. The server shrugged. Anyway, what's the harm right? It's just additional 2 burgers...
"Very well. Please keep this to yourself. I still want to keep my job."He mumbled, his eyes darting to his manager warily,who was busy attending to the customers in the restaurant.
"Thank you! You have to be one of the best people around. Yay to Gay Town Burger Joint!"The brunette cheered and the server blushed. She was gorgeous.
When she spun around, however, the joy on her face morphed to a scowl. She almost dropped her bag of burgers. Her mouth hanging open and her eyes trailing to the backview of the blonde who was...well, looking like she was escaping.
"Quinn Fabray! Come back!"She hissed, looking around her to see if anybody noticed the commotion. She quickened her steps towards the direction of the blonde, the bag of burgers swinging in her arms.
"Quinn Fabray! You shouldn't make a pregnant woman run!" She exclaimed, not bothering with the stares which were obviously throwing at them now. The blonde stopped and threw the brunette a dirty look. She murmured something which made the brunette pout. The brunette hopped onto the bicycle, her right arm around the blonde and her left hand protectively over the burgers.
XOXOXOXOXOXO
