(Aww, it’s for any muses for you. I only got Quinn and Rachel to play long and a bunch of OC’s)
Quinn tried to hide the amusement from her face; to hide the ever-present smile off her lips, to stop the bubble of a chuckle threatening to escape her, to show that she was enjoying this. It wasn’t cruel but amusing to witness and watch Rachel scramble and juggle between her hand-eye coordination and the goal to get her character to jump to safety. A simple situation that she could not help not to cherish because this was Rachel who was trying to enjoy what she enjoyed,this was Rachel who was trying something new and outside of her interest, and this was Rachel who was trying to keep her character alive but failed miserably.
Raising her eyebrows and pushing up her glasses, Quinn made sure she wasn’t just about to burst into laughter when eventually (though, inevitably) Rachel asked her question and seemingly gave up. “Because… you asked we do something different and… I thought this is different,” she reasoned with a small smile, moving closer to Rachel. She reached and placed the controller on the coffee table before hugging the girl. “We can always do karaoke again, though.”
Rachel turned back to the tv where her character had magically returned alive and intact to the last save point, both to aide her decision and to hide the flush of pink colouring her cheeks thanks to Quinn’s hug. She always blushed when Quinn hugged her. Not that she was complaining because Quinn hugs were some of the best; if anything, Rachel would have been content to spend the rest of the night in the blonde’s arms but she wasn’t going to admit that.
“No,” She said, head rocking gently side to side in concession as she pulled away from the blonde to retrieve the controller from the table, “I did ask you if we could do something new tonight so it’s only fair that we see it through.”
She turned a quick smile to Quinn, her lips already tightening into a determined line as she turned back to the TV. “Besides, Rachel Berry does not quit and I am going to get to the end of this level if it kills all three of us.” She nodded towards the screen in front of them to indicate their third. “Now this time, little mister pixel man, when I tell you to jump, jump the right way.”
