"Quinn!"
Quinn Fabray opened her arms, dropping her bag from her shoulder to wrap her arms around the slight, petite frame of her girlfriend. She buried her face in brown hair, inhaling deeply, smelling sunshine, crushed cinnamon, and vanilla.
"Hey, superstar," Quinn chuckled, rocking back on her heels to place a firm, loving kiss against smiling lips tasting of coffee and mint. She sighed as fell back into the embrace. "I missed you this week. When'd you get here?"
Rachel giggled, light and musical against her ear. "A few minutes ago. I wanted to be here when you got home." She placed a gentle kiss against Quinn's cheek.
"It's a very special day today, Quinn," Rachel whispered with a smile.
"Mmm, any day you're here is special," Quinn said, leaning in for a kiss.
"It's not a typical day," Rachel laughed, moving back. "It's a veryspecial day."
Quinn's brow furrowed. "…Special? In what way, baby?"
Rachel laughed slightly. "You're joking, right, Quinn?"
Quinn frowned. "…No… No I'm not. What's today, Rachel?"
Rachel froze, her shoulders freezing. "…Quinn… you didn't…" She drew quickly away, shaking her head, eyes tearful. "You have to be joking! You-you…"
Her shoulders quaked with sobs. "Quinn… you didn't-."
A soft kiss was placed softly against Rachel's lips, placating. "Shhh… no, baby, I didn't forget."
Rachel gasped, pushing a chuckling Quinn away, smacking her. "Quinn Fabray! You little minx!"
"Ow, girlfriend abuse!" Quinn whimpered.
"You deserve it!" Rachel spat, crossing her arms and turning away. "You shouldn'tve pretended! Today's an important day, Quinn!"
"I know," Quinn said warmly, starting forward. "A year ago today, you started making every single day of my life the most amazing day of my life. And you've only made it better every single day."
Arms slid around Rachel's belly before a pale hand held up a small, velvet box. "And you know… I'd like to make a promise that someday I'll make your everyday as special as you've made mine."
Rachel's eyes watered as she opened the box, a gleaming, silver band sitting in it, with a small diamond inlaid into the metal. "Oh Quinn…"
"It's not a wedding ring yet," Quinn whispered. "But I hope someday it will be… But for now, it'll be a promise… A promise to always love you. Is that alright, Rachel?"
Rachel nodded, wiping her tears away, laughing slightly. "That's exactly what I want."
Quinn kissed her cheek softly as she took the ring from the box and slid it onto Rachel's finger. "Happy anniversary, baby."
Rachel smiled. "Happy anniversary, Quinn."
