Author's Note: Thanks so much for your great reviews guys! I know the story is a little cheesy but so glad you're enjoying it! To address one of the questions I've received, this IS a repost! I wrote the story a while back and posted it but Fanfiction took is down and I never got around the posting it permanently. I came across it the other day and thought it would :)

The bright morning sun shown through the curtains of the window and the tiny brunette gave an enormous yawn before rolling over. Her dark eyes opened to a peaceful Cory, his snores filling the sleepy silence of the room. They both had work in an hour and a half but she'd give him another thirty minutes to sleep. He needed his rest and he looked so peaceful.

Her morning began as it always did; blowing a kiss to the kitty on the end of the bed and proceeding to feed her some breakfast. After that she always moved straight to the coffee maker, where her first cup would brew. Cup number two was always purchased on the way to work. Starting up some oatmeal for both herself and the Canadian, Lea Michele opened her closet doors and tapped her fingers against her hips. What to wear... Grabbing a cardigan, tank top, and leggings, the brunette was just about to change from her PJs when something caught her eye. The journal from her box was laying on top of her dresser. Lea immediately let out a mumbled 'fuckin' asshole...' as she grabbed the leather notebook. He had invaded her privacy! He must've read her entries! Those were personal and private and he was definitely getting the silent treatment for the duration of the next 24 hours (at least!).
She flipped through the pages idly and stopped at the most recent, filled with new handwriting.

Hey. It's Cory. It's April 10th, 2010 as I'm writing this...4:30am. I'm sleeping over tonight because I'm super tired and you're being Mama Michele and helping me sleep. Promise I'll go back to bed in a second. I shouldn't be doing this right now. You told me not to touch this book, and now I'm writing in it...I swear I only read a few pages. You'll probably see this little note tomorrow so I just wanted to say this: I know you're the one too. Can't wait to marry you someday and it will blow my mind when (if) you say yes. Never felt like this about anyone and I don't say it to you enough but you changed my world. And I'm 100% sure your grandpa is SUPER proud of you right now. As am I. Also thank you Theo Stockman for screwing up! Having the time of my life being with you and can't wait to see where we go.
Love you eternally.
- Cory

P.S. That was basically a reply to all the entries I read tonight. Ok bye.

A few messy hearts and smileys were scribbled around the sides of the page and Lea shut the book and shoved it in her bra drawer.

Cory opened his eyes sleepily and stretched his legs causing his feet to peek out from the covers. The first thing he noticed was that he was alone which didn't really surprise him considering Lea was always up at the crack of dawn. How she did it he didn't know. He sat up and rubbed his eyes just in time to see her standing there at the doorway of the closet, eyes red and blotchy and lips pursed out in a trembling pout.

"Hey...What's wrong?" He asked, furrowing his brow. If she was crying over the fact that he had invaded her privacy he was in big trouble...

Without a word, the Broadway star made her way over to the bed, arms sliding around his shoulders to enclose him in a tight hug. "Hi..." Cory muttered, rubbing her back and pecking her cheek quickly.

"You're such an asshole for blatantly doing what I said not to do..."

"I know, I was just curious and I shouldn't have-"

"I love you." He felt her nestle her face into his shoulder and be brought his large hands up to stroke her hair. "Wait, so you're not mad?"
Lea sniffled and composed her tears, pulling back to meet his gaze. "That was the sweetest thing you've ever said. Made me realize why I love you so much."

Cory's lips formed into a quirky half smile and he gave a shy shrug. "Well it was all true...and reading that stuff made me want to express it. Plus I'm used to seeing that tough hot New Yorker girl. Always goin' all Bronx on me, this was a sweet, human side of her. It was kinda awesome."

A tiny laugh emitted from the woman and she shook her head. "I'm embarrassed."

"Don't be." Cory assured, cupping her cheek to wipe away a stray tear. "Even Lea Michele can have a vulnerable moment once in a while, ya know?" She nodded her head and he leaned in to capture her lips in a kiss. "Meant what I said. Love you, Boo."
