words: 160
disclaimer: I do not own Glee, or "Sandcastles in the Sand". um
a/n: For the
femslash100prompt word "strange".
Her hair is wet, dark and matted into imperfect clumps, and she laughs like no one can hear her.
(It’s a little on the maniacal side, truthfully. Tina doesn’t say that.)
Tina watches her, unsure of how to proceed, and Quinn laughs and laughs until it sounds like sobbing and it seems like she’s lost her mind for different reasons; sadder reasons.
“You’re really…not okay,” she says, gently as possible, when she wraps a dryer-fluffy towel around bare and clammy shoulders.
Quinn snorts, and it’s very like her usual self, if only for that one second.
“Yes,” she says firmly, like she’s determined to agree. “I am definitely not okay.”
It’s raining outside, but when Quinn kisses Tina it feels like sunshine and warmth and rainbows.
It’s not really anything, but Tina hopes that it brings Quinn a little closer to almost okay anyway.
