"Uh… Quinn?" Finn sat completely still.
"Yeah?" She leaned in even closer and Finn pushed her back.
"I don't think we should be doing this," he whispered.
"Doing what? Watching TV?" She asked in confusion.
"What do you mean?" He asked her.
"What do /you/ mean? I was grabbing the remote off the table." She held it up in her hand. "What did you think I was doing?" She raised her eyebrows.
"Nothing," he shook his head. His response urged a smirk from Quinn.
"You thought I was going to kiss you didn't you?" She laughed. "Ew, you're like a brother to me! That's just…" She playfully cringed at the idea.
"Hey, can you blame me?" Finn's face turned beet red with embarrassment. "What was I supposed to think when you're inches from my face?
"No, Finn, just… no. I love you and all but I don't see you in that way. You know how I feel about Puck and I know you're in love with Rachel." She laughed again as if the idea of kissing him was the most disgusting thing in the world to her.
"In love? Who said anything about love?" Suddenly this conversation scared him a little bit. He's never been in love before. Being that serious with someone kind of freaks him out.
"Finn, it's written all over your face and hers. You guys are completely in love and it's not a bad thing. I think it's cute how much you care about each other." Finn was silent. "Well if I'm gonna get up early enough to help you guys with Fiona tomorrow; I've got to get to bed. Night Finn." Quinn gave him a quick hug before walking out of the room; leaving Finn to ponder her words all night.
"Okay sweetie, you're going to stay in my old room which is right across the hall from my current room. If you need anything, just let me know." Rachel showed Fiona her room. Everything in the room was pink. Pink wallpaper lined the walls, the bed was covered in a pink bedspread; even the curtains were pink.
"Wow, I love it!" Fiona walked in and laid her bags on the bed. She was in awe. "I've never had my own room before!"
"Well now you do," Finn walked in with Quinn right behind him. Fiona ran over to Finn and he picked her up in his arms. "Hey buddy!" He ruffled her hair. In response, she giggled. "Fiona, this is Quinn." Finn introduced them.
"Hi Fiona," they both exchanged a smile before Quinn walked downstairs with Finn as Rachel showed her the rest of the house.
"I think she likes you," Finn said to Quinn once they got downstairs.
"She's so cute! And she absolutely loves you! You're so good with her." They sat down at the bottom of the stairs.
"Yeah, she's a great kid." There was a moment of awkward silence between them as each of them decided what to say next.
"Quinn," he whispered. She turned her face towards his and before she had time to react, he had kissed her. She pulled back just as Rachel walked down the stairs.
"I knew there was something going on between you two!" Finn and Quinn stood up immediately and backed away from each other.
"Get out of my house," Rachel demanded to Quinn. Quinn did as she was told and quickly left. "I can't believe her! She comes into my house and ruins something that was supposed to be special to us and then she kisses my boyfriend? And on top of all that she /lives/ with you? How am I supposed to feel about that?" Rachel paced back and forth across the room.
"I kissed her," Finn admitted. Rachel stopped and turned to look at Finn.
"What?" Rachel questioned.
"I kissed her first Rach. I'm so sorry." He walked closer to her but she backed away.
"W-why would you do that?" She sounded hurt.
"I-I don't know. It was just… in the moment and I was just a little scared that our relationship was moving too fast but I realized there's nothing to be worried about." Rachel rolled her eyes.
"Seriously that was the best excuse you could come up with? Look Finn, if you want to be with her then please just spare me the heartbreak and break up with me now. Because I refuse to be anybody's second choice."
"No Rach, I don't want us to break up."
"Why?" Her face became a little warmer instead of the cold look she was giving him the whole time.
"Because I'm in love with you." Finn said shyly.
"H-how do I know you're not just sparing my feelings?" She tensed up again. She wasn't sure she had heard him right.
"Rach when have you ever known me to do that? I've always been honest with you and kissing Quinn was a mistake. I'm not even sure why I did it. It was stupid." She slowly walked towards him, which he took as a good sign.
"But she lives with you…"
"I know… and I'm sure that's got to be hard for you but you just have to trust me. I love you, not her." He wrapped his arms around her waist.
"But…"
"Shh, stop trying to find excuses. You're the only person I want to be with." He bent down to press a kiss to her lips.
"I love you too, by the way." She grinned as he kissed her again.
"So my dads took Fiona out for the evening and I figured that we should use this time as an opportunity to practice for glee club." Finn was up for whatever as long as he got to spend time with Rachel.
"Okay, what song do you want to sing?" He sat down on her bed.
"It's a duet called "I Wouldn't Change A Thing." I think it's a very appropriate song for us to sing." She handed Finn the lyric sheet and turned the music on.
It's like he doesn't hear a word I say,
His mind is somewhere far away
And I don't know how to get there
It's like
(She's way too serious)
All he wants is to chill out
(She's always in a rush)
He makes me wanna pull all my hair out
(And interrupting)
Like he doesn't even care
(Like she doesn't even care)
Rachel held her hand out to Finn and he used it to help him off the bed and pulled her closer to him.
You
Me
We're face to face
But we don't see eye to eye
Like fire and rain
(Like fire and rain)
You can drive me insane
(You can drive me insane)
But I can't stay mad at you for anything
We're Venus and Mars
(We're Venus and Mars)
We're like different stars
(Like different stars)
But you're the harmony to every song I sing
And I wouldn't change a thing
They both exchanged a smile as he grabbed onto her waist and looked her in the eye.
She's always trying to save the day
Just wanna let my music play
She's all or nothing
But my feelings never change
(Why does he try to read my mind?)
I try to read her mind
(It's not good to psychoanalyze)
She tries to pick a fight
To get attention
That's what all of my friends say
(That's what all of my friends say)
You
Me
We're face to face
But we don't see eye to eye
Like fire and rain
(Like fire and rain)
You can drive me insane
(You can drive me insane)
But I can't stay mad at you for anything
We're Venus and Mars
(We're Venus and Mars)
We're like different stars
(Like different stars)
But you're the harmony to every song I sing
And I wouldn't change a thing
He twirled her around and she giggled happily as they finished the song.
We're perfectly imperfect
But I wouldn't change a thing, no
We're like fire and rain
(Like fire and rain)
You can drive me insane
(You can drive me insane)
But I can't stay mad at you for anything
We're Venus and Mars
(We're Venus and Mars)
We're like different stars
(Like different stars)
But you're the harmony to every song I sing
And I wouldn't change a thing
Once the song ended, Finn pulled Rachel into a hug and thought about how fitting the song actually was. Rachel was stubborn and set in her ways and sometimes it annoyed him, but his feelings for her wouldn't ever change.
