Note: I transferred this over from a one-shot on my profile, and thought it would be better suited in this story. I'm reading it over and my writing is a bit different now than a year ago o.o
So yeah. Kinda pointless one-shot, but I just had to get writing about something Glee related. Finn and Rachel go perfectly together. And I think you'll find out whose POV it is just by the first two lines.
Happy reading!
I heard a knock on the Drama Room door, followed by someone stomping on the hard-tile floor. Ugh… not now. I'm doing a rehearsal!
Okay, so it was just me and the piano. But it was still classified as a rehearsal.
"C'mon, I know you're in there." It was Finn. His low and deep voice echoed in the Drama Room and in my mind. What does he want? Shouldn't he be helping Quinn picking out baby clothes or something?
"Come in." I replied, in my most primp and proper voice. Still sitting at the piano, I could just see out of the corner of my eye, Finn closing the door behind him and walking up to me.
I tried not to look, but his fit and robust form was getting the better of me. No! I scolded myself. He's with Quinn Fabray. You can't just take him for yourself. That would be cheating. Although, I suppose if he wasn't with Quinn, I'd have a pretty good chance at getting him.
A few thoughts later then he was opposite to the piano, looking at me intently. "So… what are you doing?"
I looked back at him, half-smiling. "Practising for Glee Club tomorrow. I want to show Mr. Shue what I can do with a Christina Aguilera song."
The moment I said that, Finn couldn't refrain from giggling a bit. It just goes to show that some things are better left kept a secret.
"What's so funny?" I demanded.
He calmed down a bit, and took a breath in to relax himself. "Sorry Rachel… but-"
"If you're picturing me dancing the 'Candyman' routine, you're sadly mistaken." My voice rose higher with every word I said. What can I say; I'm trying to make a point. "For your information, the song I'm practising is 'Hurt'. One of the few slow and melancholy pieces sung by her."
"Oh." Finn's face fell a bit as he put his hands in his jean pockets. "Sorry, I didn't know."
We both waited in silence, waiting for the other to say something. As you can tell, I don't do well with flowing conversation. Unless it's in a song of course.
"Can you sing it for me?" Finn suddenly asked.
I was surprised. "Uhh… sure. But I must warn you, my piano playing is not nearly as good as my singing."
Then, I started to play.
Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face
You told me how proud you were, but I walked away
If only I knew what I know today, ooh, ooh
I would hold you in my arms, I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you've done, forgive all your mistakes
There's nothing I wouldn't do to hear your voice again
Sometimes I wanna call you but I know you won't be there
Oh, I'm sorry for blaming you-
"Wow, that's awesome." Finn interrupted.
I froze in mid sentence with my mouth hanging on the last word. I'll tell you, it was a bit rude for him to interject like that, but I said nothing spiteful to him.
"Thanks." I purely said.
And then… we were smiling at each other. It was the most amazing thing that had happened to me in days.
"Hey Finn?" I asked him, out of the blue.
"Sup?" He said, casually. Ugh, footballers.
"Do you think I'll…" I couldn't say this to him. He'll just think I'm a bigger geek than usual. But it was too late now. "Ever be popular?"
Stupid, stupid question to ask something like that to someone like him. Instead of laughing once more, he leaned on the piano and spoke to me quietly.
"I think… you don't need to be."
I was confused at his answer. Seeing this confusion, Finn decided to better explain it. Or at least have a go at it anyway.
"Plus – you're already popular in my eyes."
My eyes glistened at those words. I looked down at my lap quickly, to hide the redness appearing on my cheeks. "Thanks." I repeated.
Opening my mouth to say something again, my posture was straighter than before.
But of course, the bell for the next class went. Free period was over. Time with Finn was over.
"Oh God, I didn't know that was the time. I have to go meet Puck."
Getting his bag from the floor, Finn packed up his books and put his bag on his broad shoulders.
"Umm, sure. See you tomorrow." I said faintly as he was heading for the door.
But he was already gone by the time I closed the piano.
Sighing contently, I too gathered my books together.
If only I had the courage to ask him the real question.
Do you think I'll ever get your love?
