Prompt: Dan Rydell - "I'd be funny and you'd have a good time. And when I took you home at like 3am, and I tried to kiss you goodnight, and I think I'd be successful. In fact, I know it. And I can't believe none of that's ever gonna happen 'cause once there was a time you married an idiot" - 'Sports Night'
Here I was once again in a place that I hadn't intended to be. That seemed to be the story of my life. No matter what I did I seemed to fall back into the irresponsible life style of going from one point to the next, and just enjoying the moment. So, following my latest impulse upon hearing Quinn was going to be at our five year reunion, I had hauled my butt back to Lima at a reunion I had sworn I wouldn't be seen at.
It wasn't that I didn't want to see my friends from high school. I had caught up with each of them from time to time, especially Finn who was now happily married to a girl he had met in New York. Though he was led the responsible life now, he was still my best bro. However, every time I saw all of them I was reminded of what they had managed to achieve and what I hadn't. I may not being living in Lima but I still saw myself as a Lima Loser.
But the lure of seeing Quinn again was impossible to fight. So, here I was, dancing with the only girl I had ever loved and who was unattainable like so many other things in my life.
"You're awfully quiet," Quinn commented as we swayed slowly to the song that was playing.
"Just thinking," I replied, watching Kurt and Blaine dance happily together. It was clear that the two of them were as much in love as ever. I couldn't help but wish that was also the case for me and Quinn.
"About what?" she asked.
~About coming home from work to you every night. You cooking dinner for me and then the two of us going out for the night. The two of us just enjoying the night, your laughter sounding like music in the night air as I make you laugh.~
"That's a dangerous question and one I probably should leave unanswered," I replied, showing some restraint for a change. I wanted to enjoy what time I could with her and upset her. Qinn and I could never be because a few years ago, she had married that idiot from Harvard.
For these few minutes though, I wanted to pretend I had a nice content life just like all my friends.
