A/N: To my loyal followers *since the beginning* FinchelFan728, Amybf19, Noro, Madisynn, you guys are what keeps me going :D

Rachel was surrounded by Finns musky scent, it made her feel at home and it reminded her of all those times that he had made her whole body tingle when he got real close. She missed him, and not even their current distance could change the way they had once been. No matter how strictly she forbade herself from thinking about him, she had to. It made absolutely no sense but he was her escape, he always had been. She pulled her head up out of his hoodie and rolled over on her bed to check the time. It was far too late to be up, she couldn't let herself get sick any more from staying up late or being out in the cold for too long. It had been one miserable sick and sleepless night ever since he was gone, but she would have one of the best nights of sleep in a long time as she was curled up in his hoodie.

Finn, on the other hand, would spend another two sleepless nights of tossing and turning before he made up his mind. He had known exactly wanted the second she had stepped into the frame of his truck door. He hopped out of bed early the next morning and dialed Mike's number.

Rachel strolled into Glee club a few minutes late. Her friends shot her looks but she just shook them off as she took her new place towards the back of the choir room. She looked around her and felt relieved that it would only be a few more months until she would be taking that greyhound on the New York City line. Mr. Schuester had already begun the lesson before she came in, so it surprised her to hear what he was saying when she finally tuned in, "and so he's going to audition for you now and then you can all vote on letting him join or not." Rachel sat up straight as her hand shot up. "Excuse me, Mr. Schue, I couldn't help but hear you say that you're trying out a new member? We can't have new people coming this late in the year, we have nationals coming up and we can't risk our chances of winning." Rachel was alarmed at the concern in her voice, she had forgotten how much she actually cared about this stuff. Mr. Schuester nodded in agreement, "I think you're right Rachel, but you might just find that he's pretty good."

Rachel scoffed and crossed her arms in annoyance before Santana shot her a look. "Um, excuse me? Yeah you, man hands or whatever your name is." Santana stood up from her seat and gestured towards Rachel. "Where do you get off giving anyone attitude about Glee? You've been shuffling around here like the walking dead, crapping on everybody's parade and not contributing anything! As much as I hate to admit it, you're actually kind of talented and you can't just shut it off when we need it most just because you lost your favorite reindeer sweater. ?" Rachel didn't even bother turning around to address the Latina while she was revved up like this. She set her jaw and looked straight forward as Mr. Schuester scolded Santana. Mr. Schuester finally opened the door as the music started playing. Mike jumped up and began dancing along as the new guy danced his way into the room and made her heart stop.

Finn bounced his leg nervously as he waited outside in the hallway. He thought he heard Rachel's voice inside for a minute but he couldn't be sure. This better work; he wanted her back so badly, he just wanted to be near her if he couldn't have that. Before he knew it, Mr. Schue opened the door and the music had started playing. He danced his way into the room with as much confidence as he could muster, but he got a little tripped up when he saw the shocked look on Rachel's face. He and Mike had been practicing all week, and Finn had needed every second of practice he could get since he wasn't a very good dancer. At first Mike seemed unsure about his sudden decision to join, but he came to just accept it and he seemed to be enjoying the way their hard work paid off as they danced side by side.

Finn had chosen this song specifically to send a message; and it also helped that it was a pretty awesome song. Rachel's jaw dropped even further as he began to sing the first words.

I was born to love you
With every single beat of my heart
Yes, I was born to take care of you

Every single day…

He tried to avoid Rachel's gaze as he looked around at everyone else in the room. They seemed to be pretty pleased with his performances which boosted his confidence even more. He walked right past Rachel's chair and walked in a circle around her, causing several raised eyebrows in the room.

I was born to love you
With every single beat of my heart
Yes, I was born to take care of you
Every single day of my life

He couldn't tell if Rachel was furious or sad or just confused right now. Maybe he should have taken a softer approach.

You are the one for me
I am the man for you
You were made for me
You're my ecstasy
If I was given every opportunity
I'd kill for your love

He meant every word, but maybe this wasn't a good idea. Maybe he should have talked to her first.

So take a chance with me
Let me romance with you
I'm caught in a dream
And my dream's come true
It's so hard to believe
This is happening to me
An amazing feeling
Comin' through

Now that he was thinking about it, this was actually just crazy. As dumb as he felt in these moments he just decided to go with it and make the most of it. At least he was here, with her.

I wanna love you
I love every little thing about you
I wanna love you, love you, love you
Born - to love you
Born - to love you
Yes I was born to love you
Born - to love you
Born - to love you
Every single day - of my life

He looked right into Rachel's eyes and finally just dropped the act and sang right to her.

I love you babe
Yes I was born to love you
I wanna love you, love you, love you
I wanna love you
I get so lonely, lonely, lonely

Finn only heard the generous applause from a distance as he was chasing Rachel out the door.
