Note: I will try and get some more chapters done for this fic, but seeing as I'm running short on ideas/inspiration, it may not be for much longer. (Sorry!)

But anyway, here's a new chapter for you; in this one, Finn and Rachel take a walk in the rain. It's kind of a rambly one, because I didn't go into it with any clear idea of what was going to happen so...let's see where it goes.

Rachel stared out the window as the rain rapped lightly against it; echoing the sound throughout her room. She sighed as she plopped herself back down on her bed. The weather had been so good the last few weeks, but only now had it decided to take a turn for the worst; and she and Finn had planned to go out again today...or at least she had, and was hoping he would go along with it. As he often did. But now it looked like that wasn't going to happen and she let out another exasperated sigh at the thought of staying inside the house all day.

She was momentarily distracted from her moping by the incessant buzzing of her cell phone which vibrated on top of her make-up counter. Plodding over to it she couldn't help but smile as she saw Finn's name flashing on the front. Flipping it open, she smiled as she spoke.

"Hey Finn" she giggled.

"Hey Rach! I was wandering if you wanted to do something today? Like, we could totally go for a walk or something if you like?" He seemed unusually enthusiastic. Rachel turned and looked out the window; noting how the rain hadn't let up at all and the clouds still seemed relentlessly thick.

"But Finn, it's pouring with rain?" she reasoned, sitting herself down on the bed.

"Nah, it's only a bit of drizzle" he insisted cheerfully, not seeming to be bothered by the weather. "I love this kind of weather. So I thought we could go out and just have a walk in the rain or something" he paused for a second before mumbling. "But uh, if you don't want to that's fine"

Rachel found herself quickly stopping him; "No, no! Finn its fine" she beamed to herself at the romanticism of a walk in the rain; it was secretly something she had on her bucket list; kissing in the rain a la 'The Notebook'. She sighed somewhat dramatically down the phone before relenting; "Of course we can go out. I'll just have to fish out my rubber boots from my closet" she giggled a little as Finn's voice suddenly grew more excited.

"Awesome! Shall I come round in ten then?" he asked, seemingly desperate to get out in the rain. Rachel just laughed at how adorable he was.

"Of course. I'll be waiting" she teased before standing up and wandering over to her closet, the phone still held to her ear.

"Ok. I'll see you in a bit!" Finn said joyfully, before hanging up and allowing Rachel the use of her hands to search around her closet for her little pink rubber boots. She hadn't worn them in a while but she hoped they would suffice in this kind of weather. She took another look out the window and noticed how the rain had let up a little; appearing as a fine mist, rather than a downpour, and she smiled; even on days like this, Finn Hudson could brighten up her day.

Finn was at the front door in almost record time, which surprised her; but of course, Rachel had obviously been properly prepared, and was ready and waiting for him in her ensemble of chic pink water-proof clothing; raincoat, boots and umbrella included. She opened the door to see him decked out similarly, wearing a fancy blue raincoat over the top of his usual plaid shirt. She had to laugh at the grin that stretched across his face as he greeted her.

"Hey Rachel. Ready to go?" he gestured his arm for her to take. She bit her bottom lip unconsciously before nodding, smiling up at him and taking his arm in hers.

"Just popping out dad!" she called out into the house. There was a pause before one of her father's voices grew uncharacteristically high as they shouted;

"What? In this weather?" Hiram poked his head round the corner and into the hallway where he gawped a little at Finn and Rachel.

"Yes Dad. Finn wanted to go for a walk, so we are" Finn just smiled nervously.

"I hope that's ok Mr Berry" he reasoned, scratching the back of his neck. Hiram let out a small sigh before nodding.

"Of course, of course. Go on" he gestured to the door. "But don't you dare come back with a cold Miss Rachel Barbara!" He pointed to her with a careful glint in his eye. Rachel rolled her eyes.

"I won't dad. I promise" she blew him a kiss before stepping out into the rain with Finn. "Bye!" she waved, before shutting the front door and skipping down the front steps; Finn in tow.

"So where do you want to go first?" she asked, looking up at her boyfriend as she clung protectively to his arm; the light rain sprinkling her face as they walked. Finn shrugged.

"I dunno. I was thinking we could just walk" he mumbled as they strode down the path. "You know; walk and talk. See where we end up" He turned and smiled at Rachel, who responded by mimicking the action.

"Of course" she said, tugging at his jacket. "That's a very nice coat you're wearing Finn" she beamed. "Makes you look very dapper" Finn turned a confused face at her.

"Thanks but...dapper's good isn't it?" he questioned, looking thoroughly confused. Rachel just giggled before nodding gently.

"Yes Finn. Dapper is good. It's British I think. Means handsome and well-dressed" Finn's face contorted into a beaming smile as he looked down at her.

"Thanks Rach!" he nudged her side a little with the arm she was currently gripped onto. "You look nice too. All cute in your pink outfit" He laughed lightly as Rachel's face grew red.

"Thank you. I wouldn't have worn it, but these were the only waterproofs I had. I shall have to go shopping at some point" she sighed, kicking at the small puddles beneath her feet with her little pink boots. "I didn't know whether it looked childish or something" Finn shook his head.

"Nah, you look fine. Adorable even" it was his turn to blush as Rachel turned to him and grew a beaming smile.

"Come on handsome" she said, pulling him along a little further. "Let's go see what we can do" She laughed wholeheartedly as she skipped through the ever-deepening puddles beneath her feet, whilst Finn smirked and picked up his pace to keep up with his over-enthusiastic and energetic girlfriend.

They walked for a good ten minutes before they reached anywhere of interest; the rain continued relentlessly, but that did nothing to dampen the spirits of the two lovestruck teens. Their conversation flowed easily and Rachel found herself laughing at Finn more than she felt should be necessary.
She looked up into the sky, appearing slightly nervous at the thought of a heavy downpour.

"I wish I'd brought an umbrella" she thought out loud. Finn laughed.

"Nah, its fine Rachel. It's just a bit of drizzle" he stopped short for a moment, his pace slowing and his face falling slack. Rachel noticed almost immediately, eyeing him carefully.

"What is it Finn?" she asked curiously, tugging at his jacket sleeve. Snapping back to reality, Finn turned his face to hers and let out a small smile.

"Nothing. Don't worry about it" He tried to avoid her gaze but Rachel Berry was persistent, and she knew Finn better than anyone.

"No, something's up. I can tell" She stopped for a moment in the middle of the street, pulling him round to face her; her expression stern yet comforting. "Whats wrong Finn?" she tried again. Finn let out a short sigh.

"Drizzle" he mumbled, not looking directly at her, but finding the falling raindrops in the puddles beneath their feet, simply fascinating.

"Pardon?" Rachel asked curiously, bending her head to encourage Finn to look at her. He let out another sigh as he finally looked her in the eye.

"Drizzle...that was what I was going to call her" It didn't take Rachel long to figure out to whom he was referring. She gripped his arm tighter. As much as she found the subject of Quinn's baby a tough one; even though the baby was not technically Finn's; she felt even worse for him; especially after the disastrous affair of him finding out the truth of the situation. She leant her head on his shoulder, trying to comfort him as best as she could.

"I'm sorry Finn" she whispered gently. He let a genuine smile creep onto his lips as he looked down at the girl whose head leant against his arm. He let out a sigh as he thought about it. The sting was still there, but it was a dull pain that he was getting used to. He was glad Rachel was so accepting and understanding of the situation. He loved that about her. Even though she could be somewhat selfish a lot of the time, when it came to her friends, she could be almost entirely selfless. And she was kind too; she hadn't even laughed at his stupid baby name suggestion. And that told him something; Rachel was almost too good to be true. And he loved her for it.

"Thanks" he murmured, feeling himself warm a little at their proximity.

After a couple of minutes of comfortable silence, Rachel started laughing infectiously as Finn started fidgeting with his hair, noting how his usual intricate hairstyle had been utterly destroyed by the rain, and had formed a mop on the top of his head.

"It's a shame really" Rachel noted out loud. Finn paused, looking to her with a curious expression.

"What?"

"Oh, sorry" Rachel blushed, having realised her verbal vomit. "I was just saying; it's a shame about your hair; I usually like it when it's all spiked up" she gestured to his head; fighting the urge to run her hand through it. Finn just smirked as he brushed it down again.

"Yeah. That's the only bad thing about this weather. But it doesn't seem to be affecting your hair very much" he nodded to Rachel's luscious locks, which cascaded over her coat. Rachel sighed.

"I beg to differ" she started fidgeting with the strands of hair that had started to curl due to the rain. "The rain's made my hair all curly" she huffed, looking down at the ever-increasing curls. Finn shrugged, looking rather intently and honestly as he spoke.

"I dunno. I think it looks nice like that. Like...really beautiful" at the last word Rachel shot her head up and her eyes darted back and forth between Finn's, unconsciously looking for some hint of a lie. Finn retracted under her gaze, coughing a little and looking away awkwardly. "Um. Anyway...uh...look, there's a coffee shop over there. Fancy a bite to eat?" he pointed away towards a small cafe, trying to distract both him and Rachel from the strangely intense moment. Rachel's eyes followed the direction of his finger and her mouth turned up into a smile as she saw the building.

"Yay! Come one Finn! Let's have something nice and warm to drink!" she giggled excitedly, practically pulling Finn along to the shop.

As they entered, Rachel shook her hair out, as did Finn; but a lot less graciously. They seated themselves on a small table for two, by the window. Finn eyed the menu quickly before making his decision. He turned his gaze to Rachel, who had removed her coat and was eyeing the menu critically. His experience in this area told him that Rachel could be choosy, so he made himself comfortable, taking off his coat, while she made her decision.

After a few minutes of pondering Rachel nodded to herself before telling Finn her order;

"I'll have a green tea and bowl of salad" she smiled cheerfully as Finn stood up and wandered over to the counter. As he waited in line, Rachel eyed the patrons around the small cafe/coffee shop. As she did so, she started as she spotted a familiar face that entered the shop shortly after; Tina wandered in, wearing a Goth-appropriate raincoat that practically dwarfed her frame and chatting animatedly on her cell phone. It must have been a rather humorous conversation she was having; evident by the large smile plastered on her face. Just as she passed her, Rachel shot up excitedly.

"Tina!" she cheered, making the teen Goth turn in mild shock, almost dropping her phone in the process. She let out a shaky laugh as she realised the source of the loud voice. She mumbled something into the handset before pocketing the phone. She smiled warmly as she greeted Rachel.

"Hi Rachel"

"Hey Tina!" Rachel beamed, standing up from her seat. "Fancy seeing you here?" she laughed lightly, as did Tina.

"Yeah. I was just on my way...um to see a movie" Tina winced slightly, cursing herself as if she'd just let slip a secret.

"Oh who are you going with?" Rachel asked curiously. Tina seemed slightly anxious for a moment, genuinely stuttering her words as she spoke.

"Oh, it's no one you know" she forced a smile. Rachel just shrugged; evidently nonplussed.

"Oh, well that's nice. I hope you have a nice time" she smiled warmly, sitting herself back down.

"So are you alone or...?" Tina offered, eyeing the dark-coloured coat that lay on the back of the seat opposite her. Rachel chuckled and smiled down at her lap.

"No, no" she muttered. She nodded towards the long queue. "I'm here with Finn" Tina nodded lightly before turning to look to the queue in question; quickly spotting the freakishly tall teenager in the plaid shirt. As if he could feel their stares, Finn turned round and, realising one of his Glee friends were here, gave a goofy grin and a hearty wave. Rachel chuckled at his adorableness before resting her elbows on the table and looking to Tina, gesturing for her to take a seat in Finn's chair.

"Sit down Tina. Finn'll be a while I think" Rachel chuckled as Tina made herself comfortable.

"Thanks" she smiled.

"So are you having a nice summer?" Rachel asked. Tina paused for a moment, as if collecting her thoughts.

"Uh, it's been ok. Mainly uneventful" she replied, subtly playing with a loose thread on her gloves. "I went to a-uh-holiday camp thing during the first couple of weeks but other than that; not much has happened" She gave a stiff nod before turning her attention back to Rachel. "What about you? How have things been with you?" Rachel smiled warmly, averting her gaze a little.

"It's been...lovely" she brought her gaze up to look at Tina, who was smirking at her knowingly.

"So uh...how have things been with you and Finn?" she muttered, keeping her voice low but still holding an air of curiosity; every now and then glancing carefully behind her, at Finn.

Rachel let out a small giggle. "Things have been amazing" she confessed, sighing to herself. "Finn has been nothing but a gentleman since we started dating...well, dating properly that is" she gazed longingly over at her boyfriend as he told the girl behind the counter his order. Rachel could feel a sting of jealously at the attractive blonde, but tried to suppress it as she turned back to Tina, who was chuckling.

"You know, I always rooted for you two when it first came out that you liked each other" Tina smirked, looking at the grin that stretched across Rachel's face.

"Really?" she inquired, not bothering to hide her excitement. Tina chuckled before nodding gently.

"I think all of the Glee club did" she sat back a little. "Well...those not on the Cheerios anyway" she gave another chuckle, which Rachel mimicked. They sat laughing and chatting for a little while before soon enough, Finn returned with a tray of food.

"Hey Tina" he smiled genuinely.

"Hey Finn" there was a pause as the three teens looked between each other. Suddenly Tina shot up. "Oh sorry! I'm in your seat" Finn gave out a hearty chuckle as Tina shifted out of the chair.

"It's ok" He gave her a warm smile before taking her place at the table. "Thanks" he nodded as he placed the tray of food down on the table.

"Well I'll leave you two on your date" Tina gave Rachel a cheeky wink before smiling. "Was nice catching up!" She gave a small wave as she wandered off to join the queue.

"Well that was nice" Rachel sighed as she took a sip of her tea.

"Hmm?" Finn mumbled through a mouth full of breakfast muffin that he'd already impatiently tucked into. Rachel giggled.

"I said, 'well that was nice'. You know...seeing Tina" Finn gulped and let a grin spread across his face.

"Yeah. Feels like ages since I saw any of the other Glee guys" Rachel smirked. Finn's brow creased slightly, looking away as his mind seemed to ponder for a moment. "I didn't know you got on so well with Tina though" Finn questioned, looking curiously at Rachel. She just shrugged.

"Well it can't be a surprise. Though she lacks my years of vocal training and my acute ear, she is definitely one of the more favourable members of the club" Rachel lectured, playing with her salad a little. Finn smirked at that; noting how she often slipped into her 'diva' form whenever the subject of performing arose. He found it endearing. "Plus, I think she's one of the more...down to earth members" Finn nodded.

"Yeah. She's always so chill in class...well...except for the crying" Finn joked, chuckling a little. Rachel giggled.

"We shouldn't laugh" Rachel jaded, pointing her fork in Finn's direction. "She's just emotional. Just like me!" Rachel's voice lifted at the latter end of her sentence, to which Finn couldn't help but guffaw. "What?" Rachel glared, looking at Finn in that steely way she often did when she was pissed.

"Well...Tina's emotional...but she's nowhere near as emotional as..." he stopped short as he caught Rachel's gaze; watching as her eyes glinted a little; her bottom lip sticking out slightly. "Sorry. I mean she's not as...in touch with her emotions as you are" Finn tried, eyeing her carefully from across the table. She kept her gaze; almost cold as stone, were it not for the sly smile that couldn't help but creep onto her face as she watched Finn panic.

"It's ok Finn" she chuckled. "I know I can be a diva sometimes. You don't have to tiptoe around it" She gave him a warm smile as she settled into her salad. Finn's smile grew wide then, and he couldn't help but reach out and grasp Rachel's free hand, which rested on the table.

"And that's why I love you" he found himself saying, causing Rachel to bolt upright, looking at him intensely. After an impossibly long moment, her eyes began to soften in that all-too-familiar way, and Rachel found herself staring at Finn as she often did; as if everything he did was a miracle, and that he was the reason she was still breathing. Finn smirked with that familiar half-grin, before releasing her and going back to wolfing down his breakfast muffin. Rachel was still transfixed for a moment; revelling in the air of love that surrounded the two teens at that moment.

It was quiet for a moment as the two of them tucked into their brunch; Finn soon finishing his breakfast muffin and his cup of hot chocolate. He sat for a while, watching as Rachel munched on her salad tentatively. Finn smirked.

"What?" Rachel perked up, looking at his expression curiously.

"You always eat like...so carefully" he laughed, watching as one of her eyebrows rose.

"Well is that strange? That I don't want to look like a pig in front of my boyfriend?" Finn's stomach still did funny things when Rachel referred to him as her boyfriend. Of course it was true. But that didn't mean it wasn't strange, in a nice way, to hear.

"Well no. But like...you don't have to worry about grossing me out or anything. I'm sure I've seen worse" he laughed lightly as Rachel set down her fork and swallowed her mouthful.

"I'm sure you have. However seeing as we are in a public place; I would like to appear as presentable and graceful as possibly; and wolfing down my food like there's no tomorrow is not my idea of graceful" she jaded, pointing her fork accusingly at him. Finn blushed a little.

"Sorry...but I was hungry" he offered, shrugging at her. Rachel let out a small giggle.

"It's fine Finn. In fact I think it's rather endearing; how much you love food. They always say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach" she smiled to herself as she continued picking through her salad daintily. Finn smirked as he leant back on his chair, patting his stomach appreciatively.

"I think they're right" he said, laughing wholeheartedly as Rachel's face flushed rosy pink. "Plus, I've tasted your cooking; so..." he shrugged as the corner of his mouth rose in that familiar way.

It wasn't long before Rachel finished her salad; carefully stacking the crockery and cutlery on the tray and taking it back over to the counter.

"You know there are people to do that for you Rachel?" Finn noted, to which Rachel just shooed him away.

"I know, but I think it's nice to lend a helping hand" she said, handing the tray to the blonde girl on the opposite side of the counter. As she did so, with Finn standing behind her, she eyed the girl carefully; noting how the girl kept continually glancing at Finn. Rachel huffed under her breath; letting the girl take the tray from her with a sickly sweet "thanks", before gripping Finn's arm tightly, in full view of the blonde. "Come on then babe" Finn's eyebrows shot up into his hair at the latter word; looking in surprise as Rachel dragged him from the shop. She felt triumphant as they walked out; not taking a second to look back at the girl in the coffee shop.

The rain was still relentless, but it had at least let up into a very fine mist, which both of them could hardly feel.

"What was that?" Finn asked as they headed away from the shop. Rachel looked up at him curiously, sporting a cheekily innocent grin.

"What was what?" she asked, fighting not to let out a loud chortle.

"You called me...'babe'?" He still looked genuinely shocked and curious, which made Rachel's reserve falter almost completely. She fell into a fit of giggles, as Finn just watched, unsure of quite what was happening. After a moment she caught her breath and held onto Finn's arm a little tighter.

"I saw the way that girl in the shop was looking at you..." she daren't look up into his eyes; instead keeping her eyes locked to the ground. Finn grew a beaming smile before nudging her side.

"Was someone jealous?" he teased, to which Rachel blushed crimson.

"Maybe..." she muttered. Finn just laughed out loud then, making Rachel dart her head up and look at him pleadingly. "It was the way she was looking at you...I had to make sure she knew you were taken" she sighed as she looked back down at her boots. Finn smirked again, tugging her closer to him.

"Well I'm sure she knows now" he noted, looking ahead of him as they wandered through the deserted streets of Lima. "A bit weird though" he muttered, almost to himself.

"Hmm?" Rachel looked up at him curiously, not quite catching his words. He fumbled a little bit.

"Well-uh. I said it was a bit weird...you know...you calling me 'babe'" Rachel flushed red again; sure that Finn was going to cause her face to go that colour permanently.

"Yeah..." she mumbled. "It felt weird saying it" she confessed, looking back up to Finn's face; his eyes watching her curiously. "I won't say it again" she tried, to which Finn nodded.

"Ok" he turned his attention back to the path. "I always thought it was weird when people said 'babe' and 'baby'" he said, as if to himself. Rachel nodded along with him.

"Yeah. I must agree. There are many terms of endearment, but those in particular I am not overly fond of"

She sighed contently as they continued walking, arm in arm, through the rain. She started playing with his sleeve as they continued towards an undetermined destination.

"Finn?" Rachel whispered, after what seemed like a rather indeterminate length of time. She was looking around her curiously; they were currently wandering through a quiet residential area.

"Yea Rach?" he replied, looking down at her, noting her expression which was almost too cute to ignore; the raindrops dripping slowly down the contours of her face.

"Where are we actually going?" she flashed him a toothy smile as he let out a small chuckle.

"Um, I'm not entirely sure" he looked around him, eyeing the houses carefully. After a moment his eyes opened wider in realisation. "I think we're near where Puck lives" he pondered, still looking around him. Rachel clung to him more tightly at his words.

"Really?" she looked around her cautiously; part of her expecting to see a tramp or a mugger to jump out at them; she knew Puck was a bit of a tough guy, and so stereotypes would suggest he lived in a rather rough neighbourhood. However, most of the houses looked rather clean and proper; with white picket fences, tidy lawns with gnomes, and if it weren't pouring with rain, Rachel would have assumed there would be a number of children playing in the streets.

"Yeah, that's his house" Finn nodded towards a house at the end of the street; looking no different to the others. Rachel nodded.

"Oh. Well it looks nice" she offered. Finn paused, looking down at Rachel in slight confusion.

"So wait...you've never seen Puck's house before?" Rachel looked up at him, a similar look of confusion etched into her features.

"No...why? Should I have?" she questioned.

"Well..." Finn scratched the back of his neck with his free hand, averting his gaze as he thought about it. "...didn't you ever go see him when you two were..." he glanced back down at her, her expression one of innocent curiosity. "you know...when you two were...together" he almost whispered the last word, seemingly uncomfortable with the subject matter. Rachel's eyes grew wide in realisation, looking back at the house in question.

"Oh" she laughed nervously. "No. No. I never went to his house. He came round mine a couple of times but...that was it" She shrugged as she turned her face back to Finn, who swallowed hard. "You know we only dated for less than a week, right Finn?" she noted, trying to comfort him as she watched his gaze return to her.

"Yeah...but still" he shrugged; failing to elaborate.

"And you know the only reason we even dated one another was because we couldn't have who we really wanted" she murmured, watching as Finn looked at her curiously. He seemed a little concerned.

"Who did you really want?" he questioned a little dumbly, pulling her closer to him. She let out a chuckle.

"You, silly!" she laughed as his expression lifted and that familiar half-grin stretched across his face.

"Oh!" He let out a short laugh. "What about Puck? Who did he want?" he looked to her again, seeing her fidget a little.

"Quinn" she muttered. Finn felt that familiar, yet dull sting in his heart, but soon shrugged it off.

"Makes sense I suppose" he said, as if to himself. He turned his face back to Rachel, letting a genuine smile creep onto his face. "At least you both got what you wanted..." He let out a short sigh. "And so did I..." Rachel blushed again, but didn't avert her gaze; she instead stepped up onto her tiptoes, cupped his cheeks and placed a short but intense kiss on his lips. Finn froze for a second before reciprocating, and after a minute they both retracted, Rachel's face practically glowing. Smirking, Finn gave her a squeeze, before they carried on walking round the block. She smiled to herself at the realisation that she and Finn had just had their first kiss in the rain...

The rain finally relented as both Finn and Rachel found themselves wandering back to her house. The conversation had been buzzing almost the entire journey, and they just felt so comfortable together; part of Rachel didn't want to go back home; she would have been quite happy wandering around Lima with Finn on her arm for the rest of the summer. She told Finn this in a moment of weakness.

He let out a loud laugh.

"Well as fun as that sounds, I think we'd get a little tired" Rachel just shrugged as they rounded the corner to her neighbourhood.

"I'm sure we'd forget about it eventually" she suggested, scrunching her nose as she chuckled. Finn nodded in agreement. Just then, as if on cue, Finn's stomach let out an almighty rumble. He clutched his abdomen, his eyes wide as he did so. Rachel mimicked his expression before bursting into a fit of giggles. She caught her breath and patted Finn's stomach. "But I don't think you could possibly forget about that" she teased, looking up at him with stars in her eyes. Finn smirked.

"Yeah...I do get kinda hungry sometimes" he confessed, shrugging innocently.

"You're hungry ALL the time Finn!" Rachel giggled, snuggling her head against his shoulder as they walked up the path to her house.

As they reached the front door she reluctantly released herself from his grasp and unlocked the door. She sighed as she stepped inside, turning to face Finn as he stood on the doorstep.

"Today's been lovely Finn. I had such a great time" she looked up at the sky. "Despite the weather" she chuckled; as did Finn.

"Nah. It's just a little rain. Never hurt anybody" he shrugged. Rachel tucked a piece of hair behind her ear.

"Did you want to-um-did you want to come in?" Finn shuffled a little on his feet, before eyeing his watch.

"Nah, I'm sorry Rach. I should probably get back. I promised my mom I'd do some more chores today" he shrugged, looking a little down heartened. Rachel smiled nonetheless.

"Of course. I'll have to wait another day to see you then" Finn beamed as she leant forward, subtly inviting him to kiss her; he obliged, reaching down and meeting his lips with hers; feeling that familiar warmth rush through him and loving the feel of Rachel's plush lips on his. She pulled away slowly, giving him a slightly dazed look before pecking his lips once more and retreating back. She gave him a small wave as he stood there; slightly dazed and dumbstruck.

"Bye Finn" she chimed, going to close the door.

"Bye Rach" he finally managed, stepping down the path; every now and then glancing back as she waved goodbye to him from the front door. He lifted his hand to wave before turning down the road and walking towards his own house.

She watched his tall, broad frame disappear all the way from her drive to the end of the road; until he was completely out of sight.

Yet again, fluffy and soppy. But I just can't help but right it like that. I really hope I'm not going too OOC, especially when this is supposed to be set in their Sophmore summer. But I'll let you guys be the judges.

Thanks for reading and as always, reviews are well accepted!
