Rachel texts him, informing him she'll be late for dinner. He replies immediately, saying they're (him, Kurt and Blaine) only ordering in pizza, so it's not like she'll miss much. He doesn't mention it to her, not wanting to make her feel guilty, but he does wish she were there. It's been a week since they secretly eloped and he wants to spend every minute with his wife. Unfortunately, with rehearsals for a show she's starring in almost tripling as they near opening night, that's not possible.
He waits up for her.
When she enters the apartment at around eleven pm, she finds him lying on the sofa, his eyes closed. He looks so peaceful that she can't help but just stand and watch him for a little while.
Deciding that his back would not appreciate the firm sofa in the morning, she walks over and shakes him awake.
"Hey," he mumbles, giving her a kiss. He runs his hands through her curled hair. "You look pretty."
"Thank you, Finn. You look tired, we should go to bed, you have to get up early tomorrow."
"Wait," he says. "I saved a piece of the pizza for you. I knew you'd be hungry when you got back..."
He makes his way into their tiny kitchen, sleep be damned, and removes the pizza from the fridge. He pops it into the microwave, warming it back up for her. While this is happening, he grabs her a plate and fills a glass with cold water.
She kisses him appreciatively when he places the pizza in front of her at the table and digs in. He sits next to her and listens intently as she discusses everything that happened in her day.
When she finishes, he places the plate and glass in the sink (he'll wash them in the morning) and together, they retire to the bed, ending the long today curled up in each others arms, like always.
