"You look beautiful today, ya know." Finn Hudson softly said in Rachel Berry's hair, as she let him to the choir room.
"Yeah?" Rachel looked up to Finn, trying to conceal her growing grin.
"Yeah." Finn smiled sweetly back, tightening the grip of his hand intertwined with hers.
Rachel shyly looked down, and Finn could see her cheeks growing pink. He smirked, stopping them from walking for a moment to whisper in her ear, "And you're really pretty when you blush like that."
Rachel gave a nervous giggle, stood on her tiptoes, and sweetly pecked his cheek. Now it was his turn feel his temple and cheeks getting warm. "So are you." Rachel sported a teasing grin, and Finn burst out laughing from the "compliment". His expression turned serious shortly after, when they started walking again.
"You really don't think they're gonna kill me, right?"
Rachel shook her head, trying to hold back laughter. "They really seemed pretty okay about it, Finn. And besides, you're the one who wrote that inspiring song. You still have some immunity from that, you know."
"It was all for you, Rach. Every word. I hope you know that."
Rachel stopped them once more to take his other hand and look in his eyes.
"I do, Finn," she whispered, a single tear trailing down her face. Finn gave her a tender gaze and softly caressed her cheek, wiping her tear away. He pressed a loving kiss on her forehead. "Alright. No more stalling. Let's go!" Rachel yanked their hands forward to start moving again. Finn gave an exaggerated sigh, but Rachel could see his crooked grin start to form.
