I've Loved You For A Thousand Years (finchel fanfic)

You're My Nightingale

Finn's p.o.v

I'm so looking froward to getting on stage. We are all in our little dressing room. The girls, except for Rachel, are practising the routine to "Really Don't Care". I'm wondering where Rachel is actually. I got out of my seat and walked about. Eventually I saw her sat in a chair by herself. As I walked closer, I could hear her singing.

Can you be my nightingale? Sing to me I know your there. Cause baby your my sanity. You bring me peace, send me to sleep. Say you'll be my nightingale.

I eventually reached her and rested my hands on her shoulders. I caught her off guard because she jumped slightly as I did so. She looked round at me over her shoulder. My heart ached a little at the sight I saw.

"Oh sweetie." I said sympathetically. I walked round to the front of her and picked her up. I sat down in her seat and placed her on my lap. I wrapped my arms around her small frame and rocked back and forth, while she sobbed into my chest. Her breathing was slow and she was taking deep breaths trying to calm herself down. I stroked her hair down her back, because I know this soothes her also. After 10 minutes, her breathing had gone back to normal. She lifted her head out of my chest to reveal her poor face. She had tears rolling down her cheeks and her eyes were red and puffy.

"What's wrong Rach?" I asked her softly.

"I just miss her so much." She cried then nuzzled her head back into my chest and sobbed. I didn't have to ask her, I already knew she was talking about Quinn. This has happened before. Honestly, it breaks my heart when it does.

"I know Rach, I know. But guess what? She is in a better place now, she's not suffering. As of now? She is looking down on us right now, thinking of how proud she is of you. She's also singing Keep Holding On. Just like she used to. She's still here Rach. Only in our hearts. She always will be, no matter what. And do you know what we're gonna do? We are gonna go out on that stage and make her even more proud. I know you have it in you. Dry your eyes sweetheart." I said quietly, then wiped the tears from her face. Rachel looked up at me and smiled weakly. I smiled back at her, trying to cover up the fact I felt so sorry for her. I hadn't even noticed she was leaning towards me until she was close enough that I could feel her breathe on my face. What is she doing?

Before I could even answer that question, her lips were already on mine. I found myself kissing back too. This is the moment I have been waiting for. I have been wishing for this for weeks and weeks. Her lips were so soft and tasted of bubblegum, because of the lipgloss she was wearing. I slid my tongue along her bottom lip, asking for entrance. She gladly granted. Here we were, her sat on my lap, arms around my neck. Me with my hands on her waist. I wish I could capture this moment forever. Our tongues fighting for dominance, roaming each other's mouth. She started moving slightly in my lap. Holy crap my best friend is giving me a slight lap dance. Shit. My pants just got tighter. She clearly noticed as she smiled into the kiss.

Finally we pulled apart, goddamn need for air. I looked at her, she was grinning from ear to ear. As I looked at her, I felt the corners of my lips pull into a smirk.

"I do believe, Mr Hudson, that we have somewhere to be?" She said, now smirking.

"As do I, Miss Berry. We should get going or else people will start searching. And we," I said motioning to the both of us "shall talk about this turn of events later." I continued. I looked at her as she smirked again and crossed her arms over her chest.

"Yes we shall. Now let's go!" She said. I grabbed her hand and led us back into the dressing room. I looked down remembering what had just happened. Oh thank god, it's gone! Rachel went back over to the girls who were still practising "Really Don't Care". I walked over to the boys and we all started practising "Don't Stop Believing". I glanced over at Rachel and she winked at me. God how was such a tiny gesture, So. Fricken. Hot.

*2 hours later*

We are all now ready. The girls are wearing red dresses with a black waistband. Their hair also down. Us boys are wearing black skinny jeans, black button down shirt and a red tie.

I can't wait to do this. We are gonna smash it. We are gonna make our angel proud. I must admit though, I feel kind of guilty. I said that Quinn is my true love, but I just tongued my best friend.. Hopefully Quinn won't be too mad.

We are all waiting back stage. Right now, Vocal Adrenaline are performing. They are amazing. Just a shame Jesse St. Jackass coaches them. Let's just say, we had a unfortunate encounter in the past. Well, for him anyway.

I looked over at Rachel, she looked stunning. She looked over at me, I smiled widely at her and she grinned back at me.

Vocal Adrenaline just finished performing. The light started flashing signalling it was our turn to perform next.

"Aaaaannnndddd from William McKinley High school in Lima Ohio. The New Directions!" The commentator announced. The girls walked onto the stage and got in their places for Really Don't Care.

The music started.

It's now or never.
