Author's Note: I didn't really plan for this chapter. I was just reading over the first chapter and wanted to expand upon what happens the night Quinn promises to hold Rachel. So, basically its just pure fluff. I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.

That's Easy, This is Hard

Part 1 (Cont.)

Five Hours After Quinn and Rachel's Fourth Make-Up

A soft knock on the door frame alerted Rachel to Quinn's presence. A seemingly sorrowful smile grew on Rachel's face. She patted the area on the bed next to her, which Quinn went to after quietly closing the door.

Once on the bed she held her hand out for Rachel to take. Rachel slid her hand into Quinn's and looked up at her when she felt her squeeze.

"You said you'd hold me." Rachel said quietly. Quinn nodded. She slowly leaned in and pressed her lips to the brunette's. Rachel's lips were soft and warm. It drove Quinn crazy. Rachel scooted over so Quinn could get her entire body on the bed.

"I'm sorry." Quinn mumbled simply as she gently pushed Rachel down. She climbed on top of her. Big brown eyes stared up at her, lovingly. It drove Quinn crazy. The tiny girl's heart beat faster – it's not that Quinn was hard to appease, it's that she was very easy to upset. She was afraid that her simplest action would lead to a colossal mistake. "What's wrong, sunshine?" Quinn asked. Then it snapped. Rachel's composure, that is. Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes and streamed down her cheeks. Fear boiled in Quinn's body. What did she do? Why was Rachel getting so upset? The answer avoided her, and so she returned to reality.

"I'm sorry, I just…" Rachel began rolling over, burying her face in her crying pillow. Yes, she had a crying pillow.

"Don't be sorry, Rach. What's wrong? Baby, it'll be okay. Just look at me, lovely." But every time Quinn called Rachel something she would cry harder.

Quinn wrapped her arm around Rachel's body and pulled her in. "I just really love you." The singer coughed out. Quinn's hand took Rachel's and intertwined their fingers.

"I really love you too. A lot." Quinn tenderly rubbed her lips against the back of Rachel's neck. Inhaling Rachel's scent, Quinn wrapped her leg over Rachel's. "You're so perfect." Quinn breathed out onto her love's neck. Rachel turned her head to look at Quinn, who ducked her head down to escape her view. Rachel grinned as Quinn continued to evade her sight. The two tossed and turned as Quinn managed to remain attached to Rachel's back. Finally Rachel was laying on top of Quinn, both face up, with Rachel's legs in between Quinn's. The Blonde's hands cover Rachel's mouth and both girls were laughing quietly.

"I wanna see my beautiful girlfriend." Rachel whined.

"She's out. Can I take a message?" Quinn bit her tongue to refrain from bursting at the seams with giggles.

"Mmm, yes. Tell her I'm going out with you tonight, so she can find a new girlfriend."

"Now why am I so lucky to go out with you?"

"Cause you're so awesome."

"Well you don't even know what I look like."

"I don't care."

"Well then I guess I might as well gouge out your eyes. You won't need to see anymore. I'll be your eyes. I'll be your seeing-eye dog. You can hold my hand all day everyday and pet my head. Then at night you can sleep with my at your feet, and when you sleep through your alarm I can lick your face to wake you up. And you'll totally laugh and giggle and get me off you and I'll bring you everywhere everyday for the rest of your life because I love you so much."

As Quinn giggled from her silly speech, Rachel could only say "Wow."

"Huh?"

"That was really beautiful."

"Really?"

Rachel nodded, putting her hands on Quinn's. She slowly peeled them off her eyes and slid off Quinn, curled up by her side and looked finally into Quinn's eyes.

"I love you." She cooed, kissing Quinn.

"I love you too."

"I wouldn't mind being blind if I had you." Rachel closed her eyes – Quinn started to lightly stroke her forehead.

"I'll always be here."

"I know you will."

"Does that scare you?"

Rachel pressed into Quinn. "Why would it scare you?"

"You wouldn't be scared of me hurting you…or anything?"

"I'm scared of a lot of things. But I'm not scared of you."

"You should be."

Rachel frowned. "Why?"

"I can get violent."

"You have too much love to ever do something to me. I know it."

"I hope you're right."

"Just hold me, Quinn."

And when Rachel felt an arm wrap around her she knew it'd be alright. The two stayed like that until Rachel fell asleep in Quinn's arms.

When she woke up the next morning, she couldn't remember her dream, just that Quinn was in it and it wasn't bad. She was saddened to not find Quinn in her bed but couldn't resist a smile when she saw a note on her night table. She picked it up and read it:

You fell asleep last night. I wish I could've stayed but my parents expected me home by midnight. I stayed as long as I could though. You looked so beautiful. Text me when you wake up so I know you didn't die in your sleep. If your phone's dead then call. If my phone's dead then I'll talk to you when I can.

Love,

Your Seeing-Eye Dog

Rachel immediately jumped to her phone and texted Quinn. No more than two seconds later she received a reply.

K. Gonna go to bed. Up all nite waitin for u. cant go on…3

Rachel smiled and replied:

Dream about me. I love you.
