Disclaimer: I do not own Glee or its characters.
A/N: I apologize profusely for taking so long to update! D: Forgive me, I beg you! I've had an extreme case of writer's block. Currently unbetaed, all mistakes are mine.
Quinn groaned internally as the bus she had currently been stuck in for three hours grew louder and louder.
"Why can't people just talk."
"I have no clue, but it's f'in aggrivating."
"Seriously. Why do they have to scream over each other."
"They are literally sitting a couple seats away."
"It can't be that hard to just speak and not yell."
The blondes head rolled against the cold window as the bus flew over a bump. She sighed happily as she minor screams died down along with the rest of the talking. That was until Finn decided to rile everyone up again with a screech that sounded like it was from a pterodactyl.
"What the hell, dude?" Puck laughed along with Artie.
"It was quiet," Finn replied with a gassy look on his face.
"Oh look, I'm Finn and just because I'm as large as a f'in train I should screech like one too."
"I'll give him a good ass reason for him to screech."
"Yeah; knee him right in the balls."
"Oh wait,"
"He doesn't have any."
"Quinn?"
The blonde slowly lolled her head to her right shoulder to look at her girlfriend, "Hm?"
"You're muttering things to yourself," Rachel said with an amused smile.
The blonde let out a breath and whispered, "I'm just getting agitated with all the noise. I don't know why I had thought that it would be a nice drive up there."
Rachel intertwined her fingers with Quinn's and kissed the girls knuckles softly, "I'll see what I can do to get everyone to quiet down, okay? We do have a big day ahead; with all the driving and then rushing to get ready for our performance. I think we should all rest up."
Quinn just nodded and pouted as Rachel stood up in the aisle, effectively taking away Quinn's warmth and comfort.
"What are you doing? Come back here."
Quinn childishly, but cutely (thought Rachel), stuck her arms out and and grabbed the air with her hands, "Commere."
The blondes pout quickly turned into a small grin as Rachel began to babble on to the other Glee clubbers; getting an idea of what she was doing.
"Attention! Attention!" The bus became silent with a few annoyed whispers and remarks.
Quinn didn't know how long the silence would last, and she relished in every second of the relaxing quiet.
"Fellow Glee members. I think it would be wise if we all settled down for a while and tried to catch up on some sleep. We have a big day ahead of us, you know! It is vital for all of us to be in our utmost physical condition and that means that we all need to be rested sufficiently. We need to rest our ears, as well, to make sure that they are well tuned for when we perform tonight; so we may know exactly when we should take our cue. Furthermore, by screaming over one another you will stress out your vocal cords greatly! Thus, you will diminish our chances of winning greatly! I for one-"
Santana groaned loudly and threw her hands up, "Ay dos mios! Berry, shut the hell up!"
Quinn glared at her best friend as Rachel smiled, "I would love to, as long as you all - as you so kindly put it - shut the hell up too."
Half of the cabin's residers jaws dropped, and Quinn just tried to hide her smile.
"Did she..?" Came from Mercedes.
"Oh my Prada, I think she did," replied Kurt.
"Oh no she didn't!" Santana stood, ready to show her was Lima Heights Adjacent was really about. Brittany's strong arm wrapped around the girl and said quietly, "San, I am pretty tired. Can't we nap together?"
Instantly Santana deflated and nodded to blonde, "Of course we can."
She turned back to Rachel with a sharp glare, "Okay everybody. You heard the hobbit. Lay back and relax. Put your damn earbuds in. Just stay quiet. Me and Britts gonna get are sleepy time on."
Rachel leveled Santana's glare with a victorious smirk as she walked her way back next to Quinn.
"That was amazing," Quinn said as she nuzzled into Rachel's side.
"Anything for you, sweetheart," Rachel whispered as she kissed the top of the blondes head.
The next thing Quinn knew, she was fast asleep in a dreamland full of flowers, sunlight, and happiness.
Quinn awoke to firm jab to her cheekbone.
"Ouch… Rachel.. stop it."
Another jab.
"Rachel, damn it, stop it."
Her arm immediately lifted to push away Rachel's hand. Her palm came in solid contact to a scraggly, rough cheek - obviously she wasn't awake enough to realize she had reached out too far… and obviously not awake enough to realize that the scratchy cheek did not belong to Rachel.
"Oh my god, Rachel! What happened to your face?"
The blonde felt around some more and slowly opened her eyes to a beaming Puck.
"Ack!" The blonde jumped, effectively making poor Rachel, who had been sleeping against Quinn's shoulder, jump and fall into the aisle with a loud "thump!" and anguished squeak.
Quinn scrambled up, made sure to give the laughing Puck an angry glare, and helped her frowning girlfriend from the floor.
"I'm so sorry, baby, Puck startled me."
The still sleepy brunette nodded as they settled in their seat again.
Quinn took the brunette in her arms and looked back at Puck, who was still laughing.
"Go away, Puck."
"What? Baby Mama doesn't want to talk to Puckasaurus?"
Quinn rolled her eyes, "No. I was gladly talking to a purple parakeet in my dream. She was far more fascinating than whatever you would ever want to talk about."
Puck clutched his hand to his heart, "That's painful, Quinn. Painful."
Quinn bit back a grin and growled, "Go away."
Puck just winked, "You know you love me."
"Noah, I believe she loves me. Now go."
"What? I can't get on the lovin's between you two? I could really add something… special; if you know what I mean."
"Take that back right now, Noah!"
Puck just chuckled and finally got up to go sit next to Finn at the front of the bus.
Quinn sighed and pulled Rachel closer, "How long until we get there?"
Rachel smiled and looked at the clock on her phone, "Should be about four hours left - not including the stops we will take. Then we have a couple of hours to freshen up, and then! We perform!"
Quinn nodded with a soft smile, "We're gonna do great. I just hope we don't stop too often now that we've been in this bus so long. I'm surprised we have made it this far without stopping seventeen times."
"It's quite the achievement, yes."
"Earlier this morning was an achievement."
"Fuck yeah, second base."
"I can't believe she took my hands… and like… directed me, ya know?"
"It's Rachel. Of course she would take control."
"It was so hot."
"My hands fit onto her so perfectly."
"It felt amazing for her to touch me too…"
"I've never just.. given myself like that."
"It was freeing, and awesome, and special."
"Especially since it was with Rachel."
"Wanna know a secret?" Quinn leaned closer with a sudden spark in her eyes as she looked into Rachel's.
"What?" Rachel asked, biting her lip the way she knew drove Quinn crazy.
"Uuunff… that lip bite.. I want. I want those lips. Preferably now."
"I realllllyyy want to kiss you," her hazel eyes drifting to eye Rachel's lips.
"Then why don't you?" Rachel husked out.
Quinn desperately tried to hold back a moan, "Fuck. She's so sexy."
"Because we're in a bus full of our friends."
"So," Rachel smirked and Quinn almost gaped at her girlfriend, "Brittany and Santana make out all the time in front of all of us. I think we should get to."
Quinn licked her lips and shifted between looking at Rachel's eyes to her lips.
"I do really want to kiss her…"
"Her lips look so plump…"
"And inviting…"
"And oh so perfect."
"Our lips go so well together."
"They were like.. made to kiss each other."
"I'mma do it. I.. I'm gonna do it."
She could practically feel the cockiness of making her cave radiate off of Rachel as their lips melded together in a firm, yet "so soft", kiss. Quinn's hand cupped behind Rachel's ear, and gently massaged the skin she found there. The pair got as close as they could without being on top of each other, and struggled to keep their moans to themselves.
For what had seemed like a minute to Quinn (because she wanted oh so much, "more"), but had really been about seven, the Glee club had gawked at the sight before them. They still weren't used to the couples relationship, or even the fact that Rachel and Quinn could be friends without killing each other - let alone kiss each other! They whispered amongst each other, and when Quinn finally began to register that "hey it should be louder in here. I hope we didn't take a pitstop and we're the last couple in here. I kinda have to pee," she pulled back and looked around slowly.
Her eyes widened as everyone gawked at her, "What?"
"That was so hot."
"Oh, can it Puck," Said Rachel with a smug grin.
"That was super hot," Brittany said ignoring Rachel and nodding to Puck.
Santana just glared at Quinn, but the blonde could tell it didn't quite go to her eyes.
Mercedes and Kurt were desperately trying to not look in their direction, Artie and Sam had books covering their laps, Finn looked constipated, Mr. Shue was surprisingly not looking and was paying attention to the road, and Tina? Well, Tina was actually still sleeping.
"Okay…." Quinn said after everyone continued staring at them - or trying not to, "You guys can look away now."
After a couple seconds longer, everyone continued on with their previous activities. Quinn sat her back against the window, and held her arms open for Rachel. The smaller girl climbed into Quinn's lap, her back against Quinn's front. The pair closed their eyes and listened to the hum of the bus' engine and the wooshing of passing cars.
"This is nice."
"Yeah, even though people look at us like we're oopah loopahs sometimes."
"Well, besides that."
"Rachel and I fit so well together."
"We're like puzzle pieces."
"You're my puzzle piece, Rachel," Quinn whispered so only the brunette could hear.
Rachel smiled and turned slightly so their eyes could meet, "You're mine, too."
They shared a sweet kiss to the sound of Puck's cat call.
"OH MY GOD, I HAVE TO PEE," Santana screamed as she lugged out hers and Brittany's baggage.
Brittany giggled and jetéing her way across the parking lot, as all the others dragged their feet behind her - all except Rachel of course who was back in "oh my god, NATIONALS" mode and holding hands with the sluggish Quinn.
"I'm so excited, so excited, so excited," Rachel muttered to no one in particular. Quinn just smiled at her fondly, that was, until Rachel decided to blow out Quinn's ear drum by screaming to everyone else even though they were two feet away, "Are we all ready?! Do we have everything we need?!"
"Ow, Rach," Quinn said as she rubbed her ear.
Rachel didn't even notice and pecked Quinn's cheek before running off to take over Captain responsibilities.
Quinn sighed, but couldn't help it as an admiring smile graced her face.
Her eyes followed the racing brunette everywhere she went, as she talked to the other members, the front desk staff, the bellhop, and other people who were just staying at the hotel.
"Such a busy body."
"A cute busy body."
The group made their way up to their rooms. Through Rachel's instruction, though they all agreed with her ("this time"), they all decided to take a thirty minute power nap, grab a light meal, and then head down the the hotel's auditorium to prep for their performance.
"No more than thirty minutes everybody! We have to be prepared!"
Everyone grunted as sound of approval and entered their rooms.
"Do you think they listened to me?" Rachel asked, as she turned to Quinn with panicked, wide eyes.
"I don't think they listened to me, Quinn. What am I going to do? We can't win if they don't listen to me!"
Quinn chuckled at Rachel's ego and grabbed her hand as she led her to the bed, "Rach, everything is going to be fine. Come on," she said as they climbed on top of the soft comforter, "let's nap."
"But.. but what if we aren't ready, what if everybody is just here so they can get the school day off, what if - mmph!" Quinn pressed her lips to Rachel's to get her to be quiet.
"Sweetie," the blonde whispered against Rachel's lips, "Everything is going to be okay. Trust me, I promise."
Rachel sighed and looked over the blondes face. With a soft nod, she curled into Quinn and within seconds, the couple was fast asleep.
