Three of Us || Finchel

Finn nodded, smiling brightly at Rachel. His hand was cupped her face gently as she spook again. The smile remained and he nodded again, “You too. The first time in seven years.” Finn ran his thumb idly over her cheek as his smile turned into a grin. He kissed her back deeply, his other hand moving to her’s to lace their fingers. Rachel was right; this was the happiest he’d been in a long while. He would have happy ties with Rachel now and then but darkness would overcome them quickly. Now, there was nothing but happiness. Six months ago Finn would have been sure he wouldn’t even be seeing Rachel again and now here they were. “That’s a great idea, Rach. I mean, nobody’s even met her yet. And Megan said she can stay with us awhile even before the whole paper thing is final and stuff because that takes awhile,” he said, nodding a little and the smile still on his face. “Are you kidding? Of course she’ll be excited, she asks to come stay the night everyday. She’ll probably cry happy-tears like us!”
Rachel smile faded for a moment as she realized this wasn’t just the first time that she’d cried happy tears in front of him in seven years. She’d been unhappy since the day they said goodbye to each other. She recalled telling him how she’d cry every day for the past five years. It was now that she realized that it’d been about a month since the last time she’d cried, and now she was at a completely opposite side of the spectrum. “Yay,” she squealed, nuzzling her nose against his just like she always did. “I sure hope she does. Even though she loves us, it’s silly to pretend it’ll necessarily be an easy transition for her. We’ll have to have Jack over for play dates,” she giggled. After taking a deep breath, she squeezed his hand tightly and kept their foreheads together to speak. “I.. I guess I might have said this all to you at one point or another.. but.. I just want you to know how happy you make me - not just now, but every single second that I’m with you. Whenever I feel like we’re together. I know I used to think that being famous was the only way I’d ever be happy, and I almost lost you forever because of it - if you weren’t so brave to come back, that is. Now I know that you’re everything I need and everything I could ever possibly want. I guess what I’m.. trying to say is that..” Rachel searched her brain to find the right words. “I love you.”
