Title: Should Know Better
Rating: G.
Fandom/Pairing: Glee. Quinn/Harmony romance.
Spoilers: Harmony exists?
Warnings: Uh.
Summary: Harmony is just like Rachel, except Quinn likes Harmony.
Disclaimer: If Glee was my brainchild there would be more gay. Title comes from the West Side Story song "A Boy Like That." ( / "I Have a Love"?)
a/n: Initially intended for the
femslash100challenge word: romance, but it branched out into something different and instead I got this.
Quinn wouldn’t be right for Harmony, and Harmony wouldn’t be right for Quinn. Quinn is very well aware of as much.
Harmony - mononymous, because she’s a star (or she’s trying to be one, at least) - is one of those women that was one of those girls like Rachel Berry. The ones that focus only on their goals, and their achievements, and their life, and wear blinders to shield them from anything else that might potentially derail their carefully-sculpted plans.
Harmony is one of those women that Quinn’s been trying to avoid ever since she got out of high school and left glee clubs far behind her. She lives for the stage; she can name more musicals than Quinn can name books of the Bible; she knows all the producers and the directors and the choreographers, and she’s always trying to weasel her way into something.
If Quinn was interested in Harmony, it wouldn’t do either of them any good. Because Harmony will obviously want the romance - the epic romance - that Quinn won’t be able to handle. She’ll want the firm commitment on the first date; she’ll want the call within twelve hours; she’ll want the promises and the gifts and the overwhelming affection she probably got too much of as a child. She’ll want everything, and she’ll expect for Quinn to want to give it.
She’s not the type of girl that Quinn’s ever liked.
But maybe she could be the woman that Quinn eventually finds herself managing to love.
