Rachel settles down at the table across from her best friend and immediately adds three packets of sugar to her drink. Kurt eyes her suspiciously before sighing and taking the lid off his own drink. He stirs in one packet of sweetener and watches Rachel fidget with the empty packets, arranging them in a neat row before folding each one into random shapes.
"Do you want to talk about it?" he asks.
"Hmm?" Rachel answers, glancing up her best friend. "Talk about what?"
"Whatever it is that's clearly bothering you," he says before taking a long sip of his coffee and exhaling contentedly. "What's wrong?" He adopts his listening face to which Rachel rolls her eyes.
"It's Quinn," Rachel murmurs, turning her attention back the sugar packets. Kurt tuts softly and puts a hand on top of Rachel's.
"I thought you were over her," he says gently, knowing how long Rachel had moped over Quinn when they'd first moved to New York from their little backwater Ohio town. Weirdly enough, Rachel's roommate had moved from another little backwater town in Ohio to New York.
Kurt had spent hours listening to Rachel yammer on at length about her roommate. If he'd saved a dollar every time Rachel had started a sentence with the word 'Quinn', he'd have enough money to feed his caffeine addiction, and probably Rachel's, through the rest of their time at college.
"I was," Rachel says. "I am…" she corrects herself uncertainly. "Something happened a couple of weeks ago and now things are pretty awkward between us. Well, they would be if Quinn could actually stand to have a conversation with me. She can barely look me in the eye."
Kurt frowns and takes another sip of his coffee.
"So tell me then," he says.
"I found porn on Quinn's computer," Rachel blurts out causing Kurt to choke on his coffee.
"Okay, wasn't expecting that," he says, wiping his mouth with a napkin. "Can I ask why you weren't using your own computer for that?" Rachel fixes him with a look.
"I was looking up movie times and got a little… sidetracked," Rachel blushes slightly before shaking her head. "Anyway, she had a folder and I opened one of the videos and it was porn. Gay porn."
"My gay or your gay?" Kurt interrupts.
"My gay," Rachel says with an irritated sigh.
"So you watched?" Kurt asks with a smirk, his question immediately answered by Rachel's crimson cheeks. "And enjoyed… my, where has the Rachel Berry of Lima, Ohio gone?"
"Shush, do you want to hear the rest or not?" she asks.
"I'm not sure my delicate constitution can take it," Kurt jests before waving his hand. "Continue with your sordid lesbian tales."
"It was the day after the finale of the show so I um… fell asleep pretty soon after I'd watched the videos but when I woke up, Quinn's laptop wasn't on my bed and I'm pretty sure that I forgot to close the video down. And we've barely spoken to each other since then so she must know that I know."
"Know that she's gay or know that she enjoys watching porn?" Kurt asks. "Neither of which is a bad thing, by the way…"
"Both," Rachel says, folding her arms on the table and resting her head on them with a dissatisfied huff. "And I think she's embarrassed. I'm embarrassed. Santana had to bring Quinn back to our room that night, she was so drunk. When I opened the door, Santana just gave me one of her looks, passed Quinn over and told me: 'She's all yours.'"
"You missed your opportunity to find out the truth then," Kurt says. "Children and drunk people only ever speak the truth."
"She could barely say hello, let alone tell me anything else," Rachel says, lifting her head a little. "Kurt, why did I watch the damn videos?"
"Everyone has needs, Rach," Kurt says reassuringly, reaching across the table to cup Rachel's cheek. "And speaking of needs, the cute coffee boy has been making eyes at me since we sat down. Be right back."
"Jerk," Rachel calls after him.
"But you love me anyway," he says, returning to the table to press a kiss to the top of Rachel's head.
"Still a jerk," she mumbles.
"I heard that," he calls happily, going to order a coffee he could really do without.

Quinn wakes with a jolt, glancing at the clock to make sure she hasn't slept her entire Saturday away. It's a little after three. She's meeting Santana and some friends from home for dinner at around six.
"Plenty of time," she mumbles, rolling onto her back and rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. Rachel had left at ten to spend the day with Kurt after politely declining to join Quinn and her friends for dinner.
Politely, Quinn notes. Everything between them is so forced and polite now, as though they're scared to tread on each other's toes. Neither girl has mentioned the videos and Quinn isn't sure how to broach the subject of her sexuality though she doubts Rachel will take any issue with it.
Rachel. She glances over at the other girl's bed with a sigh and in startling clarity recalls the dream she'd been having just before she'd woken up. It had involved Rachel, of course. The girl has been plaguing her subconscious for months now, causing Quinn to wake up covered in sweat with an all-too-familiar ache between her legs.
She wets her lips as she glances down the length of her body and shakes her head before reaching down to lift her laptop up from the floor. She bypasses her 'From S' folder and opens a different website, one not sent to her by her best friend. Quinn appreciates the videos that arrive via email, usually with a short description so that she can decide for herself if she actually wants to watch, but she prefers to read.
Scrolling quickly through the list of familiar titles, she selects one of her favourite works, a short piece that never fails to get her worked up. She's bookmarked a few of the author's longer stories with an intention to read them all but always comes back to this particular story when she's short on time or in need of a quick fix.
Today, Quinn isn't in the mood for anything long or drawn out. She begins to read, letting her imagination take over, and slips a hand beneath the waistline of her pyjama pants in anticipation of what's to come.
Her fingertip circles her clit as she reads the words, even though they're etched in her mind clearly. A shaky breath leaves her lips as Quinn slides her fingers lower with teasing strokes, a quiet moan builds from her chest and she feels her thigh muscles tense as she imagines them wrapped around someone else's body.
Sliding her fingers inside, Quinn gasps as wetness covers them and her muscles constrict around them.
"Fuck," she mutters, smothering her words with her free hand though it's unlikely that anyone will hear her; anyone apart from the roommate, whose key is turning in the lock.
Quinn freezes, mid-thrust, and stares horror-struck at the door.
"Quinn…?" Rachel calls as she walks in before catching sight of her roommate. She gasps, covering her eyes, and turns around to walk out of the room but misjudges how far she's turned and walks into the wall, cursing as she bangs her head.
Quinn regains her motor skills, slamming her laptop lid down and straightening herself up as she clambers off the bed, grimacing at the loss of contact between her legs. She glances at her hand and, quickly coming to terms with the absurdity of the situation, smirks before wiping it on her pyjama pants.
"Sorry, I'll come back," Rachel is saying dazedly, rubbing her forehead.
"Rach, wait," Quinn says, closing her hand around the other girl's wrist. "Are you okay? Let me take a look." She pulls Rachel around to face her, trying to ignore how red her own face feels. She cringes at the bruise blossoming on Rachel's forehead and guides the other girl towards her bed. "Sit," she says, pushing the shorter girl down onto the bed. "I'm going to run downstairs and get an ice-pack, okay?"
"It isn't necessary," Rachel says, squinting upwards at Quinn. "Honest, I'll be fine."
"Are you sure?" Quinn asks hesitantly, walking towards the door to push it shut anyway. Rachel nods and clutches her head with a grimace. "I'm going to get you an ice-pack, okay? I know you keep a few in the freezer for after dance classes."
"Okay," Rachel acquiesces.
"I'll be right back," Quinn slips on her trainers and heads out of the room.
In the communal kitchen, she grabs a teatowel before finding an ice pack with Rachel's name and room number written on it in permanent marker. As she climbs the two flights of stairs back up to their room, she presses the pack to her cheeks, hoping that she'll look less red than she feels by the time she gets back to Rachel.
Rachel is lying down when Quinn returns, experimentally pressing her fingertips to the lump.
"Here," Quinn says, wrapping the towel around the ice pack and holding it out.
"Your bedside manner leaves a lot to be desired," Rachel says, fixing Quinn with a look before patting the bed next to her.
"You want me to…?" Quinn trails off before perching on the edge of Rachel's bed and gingerly pressing the pack to the girl's head. "I'm sorry… about what happened. I thought you were going to be gone all day."
"Well, while I wanted to go see the new Broadway exhibition at the Met, Kurt wanted to stay at Starbucks and flirt with the new coffee boy," Rachel says, rolling her eyes.
"I'll go with you," Quinn says in a hurry. "Sometime. If you want."
Rachel hisses through her teeth as a ripple of pain shoots through her head.
"Am I pressing too hard?" Quinn asks, drawing away slightly.
"You could press a little harder," Rachel says, opening her eyes to stare up at Quinn. Quinn feels her cheeks start to go red once more. "What were you watching?" Rachel asks.
"I wasn't watching anything," Quinn replies defensively. The shorter girl fixes her with a disbelieving look. "I wasn't! I was… reading." Rachel's mouth opens, but Quinn answers before the question is voiced. "Erotica." She bites down on the corner of her lip and looks away.
Rachel raises her hand to Quinn's cheek and forces the blushing blonde to look down at her again. Softly, she trails the pad of her thumb along Quinn's jawline and watches the taller girl gulp.
"Why didn't you tell me that you're gay?" Rachel asks, surprising Quinn who'd been sure that Rachel had been about to ask what the story is about. Quinn remains silent. "I don't care, by the way. It would be a little hypocritical of me if I did."
"You're…?" Quinn starts to ask but cuts herself off. Rachel manages a half-shrug.
"Pretty much," she says with a chuckle. "Kurt is always mocking my complete lack of gaydar. I think he might be right though. I really am clueless when it comes to girls."
Quinn mulls this over as she removes the ice pack from Rachel's forehead, pleased to see that the swelling under the bruise has lessened.
"My family aren't supportive," Quinn says quietly. "When I told them, I was asked to leave my house. Santana and her family took me in so that I could finish High School before I moved up here to stay with my aunt until I started college."
"I'm sorry," Rachel says, reaching for Quinn's hand. "Truly sorry. I feel sorry for them, your family, I mean. That they can't see you the way I do. The way everyone else does."
Quinn feels her mouth run dry at Rachel's words and wonders how inappropriate it would be to lean down and kiss Rachel. She's imagined it in her head so many times that sometimes she's convinced that she's actually done it.
"I'm sorry I interrupted earlier," Rachel's voice drifts into her consciousness and she blinks a couple of times. "It must be one hell of a story."
"It's pretty good," Quinn laughs shakily, glancing over at her laptop. "It might even be better than that video you watched." Rachel cringes and closes her eyes. "There are better videos by the way. The um…" Quinn is pretty sure she's never blushed this much in her life. "The eighth one on the list is probably my favourite."
Rachel's lips spread into a devilish smile and she opens her eyes again.
"Tell me about it," she murmurs, enjoying the fact that she's making Quinn blush a more furious shade of red every minute.
"How about we watch it instead?" Quinn asks, failing to keep the tremor out of her voice, knowing that they'll never see the end of the video. Rachel is already shifting closer to the wall, making space for Quinn who grabs her laptop hurriedly and opens up the bookmark list. "Did you enjoy it? The second video?"
"I enjoyed it more than the first," Rachel admits ruefully. "Although I missed parts of it. Maybe we can watch that one again at some point."
The eighth video starts to load and Quinn places the laptop near the end of the bed where they can both see it. It's the same setting as the other videos: same bed, same couple.
"They're actually friends of Santana's," Quinn says quietly, chuckling when Rachel's chin drops slightly. "She keeps asking if I want to meet them but I think I'd spend the entire conversation stuttering."
"I'd spontaneously combust," Rachel says immediately. "Oh my…" her gaze becomes transfixed on the screen.
"Yeah," Quinn agrees, glancing nervously at Rachel.
"Do you have…?" Rachel begins to ask before Quinn cuts her off with a sharp nod. "And you'd want to be the blonde in the video? Is that right?" Quinn's nod is slower this time, not trusting any of the words that might fall out of her mouth at this moment. "Show me."

Rachel's heart is hammering in her chest so loudly that she's surprised their neighbouring dormmate hasn't knocked on the wall to tell her to shut up.
She's kneeling on her bed, watching Quinn strip off her pyjama pants and the tanktop she'd been sleeping in, wondering how on earth her day had ended up like this. Offering Rachel a nervous smile, Quinn advances on the bed and kneels in front of the other girl, glancing down between their bodies.
"Have you done this before?" Rachel asks, clearing her throat when her voice comes out a little croaky. When Quinn nods, Rachel feels her stomach flip over and her mind goes into overdrive as a series of images whizz through her brain. "Oh."
"You look worried," Quinn notes, reaching up to brush Rachel's hair back off her face. She grins when Rachel nods. "Don't be."
"I'm not exactly experienced with… this," Rachel says, running her hands over the straps resting on her hips. "And it intimidates me a little that you are. I'm not used to feeling intimidated. Not when it comes to this."
"I'm not sure that one time counts as much experience," Quinn says, biting down on her bottom lip. Tentatively, she wraps one hand around the hard shaft and gently tugs, enjoying the gasp that issues from Rachel's mouth. "Just take it slow, okay?"
Taking a shaky breath, Rachel nods and tries not to focus on the way Quinn's hand is stroking up and down or the pressure on her clit or the thought of Quinn bent over on someone else's bed…
"God," Rachel sighs, eyes drifting closed as Quinn's hand becomes more insistent, her strokes more forceful. "Quinn."
"Less nervous?" Quinn husks in the brunette's ear, grinning when Rachel's jaw drops and she whines in response. "Good."
Rachel whimpers when Quinn's hand drops away and the pressure between her legs lessens. She watches as Quinn turns around and leans over, elbows resting on a pillow. Rachel's fingers absently find the tip of the strap-on and she tries to get her brain to process what's happening.
Quinn, the object of so many of her fantasies and dreams, is on her bed. Naked. On her hands and knees, legs spread just enough to give Rachel a glimpse of something that makes the brunette's stomach knot and her hands tremble and her legs go weak.
"Rachel?" Quinn asks, her voice laden with need as she glances backwards over her shoulder.
Allowing her instincts to take over, Rachel moves forward, timidly running her hands over Quinn's skin before latching one hand onto the blonde's hip and guiding the tip of the hard shaft to Quinn's entrance. Beneath her, Quinn releases a shuddering breath.
"Please," Quinn whispers, desperately trying not to push backwards against Rachel.
Forcing her nerves to the back of her mind, Rachel slowly slides into Quinn, relishing the way the strap-on presses back against her. She's shaken from her reverie when Quinn moans raggedly, back arching and thighs clenching.
"Again," Quinn groans, fingers clawing at the sheets. "Just like that."
Rachel withdraws and, with a little more confidence, grips Quinn's hips as she slides in once again, watching the muscles along Quinn's back twitch and flex. Not waiting for Quinn's command, she does it again, harder this time but pauses when the other girl curses.
"Are you okay?" Rachel asks, worry dropping back into her voice.
"Keep going."
Still hesitant, Rachel starts to thrust her hips forward, trying to keep her rhythm under control. The way Quinn's fingers are curling around the sheets and the agonised moans falling from her lips keep distracting her as well as the tension in her own legs and back and arms. She loosens her grip on Quinn's hips, grimacing when she sees that she's left faint marks on the pale skin.
"Rachel."
The intensity of Quinn's voice sends Rachel's thoughts reeling and she loses her rhythm, bucking hard into the blonde. Quinn's answering moan sends a spasm down Rachel's back and she bucks again, gasping as the strap-on works against her clit.
Fuck.

Quinn can't focus.
Her fingers are gripping the sheets in front of her so hard that her knuckles have turned white; her biceps are trembling with the effort of keeping her body in this position; her thighs are clenching, wishing that she could take more of Rachel; and she's aching all over, ripples of pleasure spreading out along every nerve as Rachel continues to thrust into her.
With a ragged breath, she forces herself to look over her shoulder, eyes locking immediately with Rachel's before dropping down to the brunette's hips, how her muscles are flexing and contracting and…
"God," Quinn growls, face dropping back down towards the bed. "So good."
And then Rachel slows, the entire shaft buried inside Quinn, whose muscles spasm erratically. She's about to turn around when she feels Rachel's hand skirt over her hip, coming round to rest on Quinn's abdomen. Fingertips draw a quick path southwards and single digit presses against the throbbing bundle of nerves between her legs.
Words fail her and the noise that comes out of her lips can barely be described as human. Rachel starts to move her hips again, rubbing her hand against Quinn in time with her thrusts.
It's too much for her and she can't focus. She forgets to breathe and she swears the room spins a couple of times before she's moaning Rachel's name and shuddering around the strap-on and wishing that Rachel would just keep her fingers there for a little longer.
Her arms give out and she finds herself breathing in the scent of Rachel's pillow for a few seconds. She whimpers at the loss of contact when Rachel pulls away and turns to find the other girl still kneeling on the bed, fingers idly running up and down the shaft.
"Lie back," Quinn whispers, turning herself around and crawling up the bed towards Rachel on shaky arms and legs. "Take it off." She glances down at the strap-on and Rachel immediately fumbles with the straps, raising her hips just enough to yank the harness off.
Quinn presses her lips to the corner of Rachel's mouth.
"Relax," she whispers and then slides back down the shorter girl's body, pushing her legs apart. She glances up to see a mess of brown hair lift up from the pillow, gives her a smile and runs the tip of her tongue over Rachel's clit.
"Quinn," Rachel's high-pitched cry causes their neighbour to bang on the wall.
Quinn rolls her eyes and continues working her tongue back and forth over the bud of nerves, feeling Rachel's orgasm rolling over her in waves. She stops when Rachel threads her fingers through Quinn's hair and lifts her head to give Rachel another smile.
"Better?" she asks and Rachel nods, closing her eyes as she struggles to control her breathing. Quinn moves back up the bed, brushing the back of her hand across her mouth.
They lie in silence for a couple of minutes while Rachel composes herself.
"That was intense," she says at last and Quinn chuckles in response, ducking her head slightly to press her lips to Rachel's temple. "You can kiss me, you know."
Quinn grins and tilts Rachel's face towards her own.
"It seems a little tame after what we've just done," Quinn whispers, catching Rachel's lips in a soft kiss. Their lips stay locked until Rachel's hand brushes over Quinn's breast, fingertips grazing over her nipple. "Mmm."
"Was it better?" Rachel asks, transfixed by the way Quinn's skin prickles under her touch. "Than the first time?"
"It was different," Quinn sighs as Rachel's fingers tug gently at her chest. "Last summer, my aunt used to take me to her friend's house in an effort to stop me from isolating myself from everything, which was kinda what I wanted to do… and her friend's daughter basically took my hand on my first night there and led me up to her room. She said that if she was being forced to hang out with me then we were going to make the best of it."
"She sounds like a treat," Rachel says darkly. Quinn giggles. "What?"
"Jealous," Quinn sighs. "It was different. I didn't feel anything for her. It was all physical. Zero emotional attachment. I've never had that before."
"And this?" Rachel asks.
"Well, I kind of like you, Rachel," Quinn admits. "A lot."
"I kind of like you a lot too," Rachel replies, glancing up into Quinn's eyes. "A lot."
"Good," Quinn says, ducking her head to kiss Rachel again. "Come out for dinner tonight?"
"Are you asking me on a date?" Rachel asks, raising an eyebrow. "Because I don't think it counts if Santana and your friends are there."
"No, I'm going to ask you on a proper date later," Quinn says hurriedly. "It just occurred to me that the only way I'm going to be able to leave this bed today is if you're with me."
Rachel considers the invitation as her gaze falls back to Quinn's chest. She frowns slightly.
"The porn stars won't be there, will they?"
Quinn laughs and shakes her head.
"What time is dinner?"
"Six," Quinn replies, glancing at the clock on Rachel's bedside table.
"Plenty of time," Rachel grins before rolling Quinn onto her back and capturing her in a deep kiss.
