Worth It

Rating: T
Pairing: Quinn/Will
Spoilers: None
OOOO
Finn’s hand rest on her knee, and she tried to imagine that it wasn’t. But Will and Rachel’s combined smiles after they finished another one of their duets, made it hard for Quinn not to face up to the reality of her life.
She was the HBIC with the perfect quarterback boyfriend...and she was in love with Will Schuester.
The same Will Schuester that she teased for all of middle school and the majority of freshman year. The same Will Schuester that she told Finn to slushie. The same Will that was dating that annoying elf, Rachel Berry.
She groaned as the rest of the club clapped. Rachel launched herself into Will’s arm. Quinn’s eyes screwed shut so she didn’t have to see him kiss Rachel.
It had come to her a couple months ago, when Mr. St. James had partnered them up for a duet. She had been a bitch, like always. Then, something switched as soon as their song had been finished, watching him walk away from her onstage. She wanted to run after him, instead Finn ran up to her.
Since that day, she found herself watching him. He was the perfect gentleman, he dressed nice (except for the endless supply of vests), he was sweet...and he was taken.
She tried to go out of her way and not be a bitch to him. But, it would look strange if she didn’t make fun of his hair every couple days. She hated doing it, but Santana and Brittany were usually standing behind her. She wanted to run her fingers through his hair and pull him down to her.
She realized the depth of her feelings when Noah Puckerman tried to hook-up with her. She made it through one kiss before she thought of Will, and she pushed him off of her.
“Quinn, you’re alittle flat on the first verse.” Mr. St. James’ voice cut into her thoughts as she was trying to sing with the group while also watching Will as subtly as possible.
“Will could practice with her.” Rachel chimed in. She was always pushing herself and Will onto the others.
“Good idea.” Jesse smiled and moved on to comment on Tina’s vocal range.
OOOO
She was standing, staring at the floor, her face strained as she tried not to blush.
“What?” Will was less than a foot away, he moved his hand to rest on her shoulder.
“I said...nothing.” She bounced on her heels, moving a step back.
He followed her, “Quinn, you have no idea.”
He tugged sharply on her arm, her mouth collided with his. She tried not so fully to fight him off before giving in with a sigh.
OOOO
Rachel was glaring the next practice, as was Finn. But Quinn took Will’s hand and they walked into the room.
Mr. St. James oblivious to what had happened, looked shocked, “What happened to your eye?”
Santana snickered, “Finnocence hit him.”
“What?” His mouth dropped.
Will only grinned at Quinn, “I deserved it.”
OOOO
Somehow Rachel and Finn managed to collaborate on a song that was aimed to both Quinn and Will. But Quinn was oblivious to their hatred because she was a melted blob on the inside.
“I’ve always wanted you.” Will’s voice was a soft purr compared to the music.
OOOO
AN: Short, happy and un-beta’d. Problems? Love?
