AN: This is the first one! It was inspired by the "lady knight in shining armour" quote from 6x06. Hope you enjoy!


Santana walked into the apartment, ready to pass out on the couch. The diner had been busy and most of the customers seemed impossible to please. After laying on the couch she heard Brittany moving around in their bedroom.

"I'm home B." She called to her girlfriend as she slowly drifted off.

"Welcome home babe." Brittany walked into the front room to see her girlfriend half asleep on the couch. She walked over and kneeled down in front of her. Santana smiled when she felt her girlfriend's presence. "I missed you."

Santana opened her eyes and was met with the ocean blue ones of her girlfriend. She had become accustomed to the striking beauty of Brittany's eyes, but sometimes they still managed to take her breath away. "I always miss you."

"Rough day?" Brittany asked with a tilt of her head that made Santana smile from ear to ear.

"Busy, rude customers. You know, the usual." She shrugged. "How was yours?"

"I only taught one class today and it was an advanced class so, it was kind of an easy day." The blonde replied.

"Oh, lucky."

"Yup." Brittany stood up and walked towards the kitchen. Santana closed her eyes again. "Which is why I already made dinner."

Santana's eyes flew open and she sat up as fast as she could. "You what?" She stood up and ran into the kitchen, looking around frantically. No smoke. No fire. No burning smell.

Brittany narrowed her eyes at the brunette. "Something wrong?"

Santana looked at her girlfriend. "No, not at all." She replied, trying to play it off like she hadn't just panicked and thought her girlfriend may have destroyed their kitchen.

"Right." Brittany dragged on sarcastically as she plated two helpings of a stir fry she had made.

Santana sat down at the table. "It looks really good Britt."

"You sound surprised." Brittany pointed out.

"Well the last time you tried to cook dinner for me you ended up setting off the smoke alarm and the whole building had to evacuate." Santana reminded her.

"Oh right." Brittany looked at her dinner for a few seconds before looking back up at Santana. "Quinn's been teaching me though. I am now a master at not burning water."

Both women enjoyed their meal and discussed the events of their day, then decided they would curl up and watch a movie together.

Brittany took Santana's plate before the brunette could stop her. "I'll clean this up, you go pick a movie."

"Or, I can help clean up then we can pick a movie together." Santana offered.

Brittany put her arms around her girlfriend and kissed her. As they kissed, Brittany began slowly pushing her into the living room. They parted and Santana looked around them. Realizing what had happened, she glared at her girlfriend who was now backing away into the kitchen with a smirk on her face. "I expect a movie to be picked by the time I'm back."

Santana rolled her eyes and sat on the couch, flipping through the selection of movies. She started going through the list of animated movies. Santana wasn't a big fan of them, since most were kid's movies, but Brittany loved them and what made Brittany happy also made Santana happy.

As she was scrolling, she noticed something move out of the corner of her eye. She looked down at the table to see a spider crawling across the surface. She screamed, throwing the controller onto the couch and jumping to the opposite end, as far away from the tiny creature as she could get.

Brittany came running into the room with soap still on her hands, dripping onto the floor. "What's wrong, are you ok?!"

Santana pointed towards the table. "That!"

Brittany peered at the table but didn't see anything out of the ordinary. "What are pointing at?"

"The thing on the table, look at it." Santana, barely, elaborated. At first Brittany still didn't see anything but then it moved. "There, see!"

Brittany couldn't help but laugh. "San it's just a spider."

"Just a spider?"

"Yes, just a spider." Brittany quickly ran back into the kitchen to dry off her hands. Before going back to Santana she grabbed a glass from the cupboard. "Are you really scared of a little spider?"

Santana glared at Brittany. "I'm not scared."

"Oh I think you are," Brittany teased, "and it's adorable."

Brittany took the glass and laid it on its' side in front of the spider. The spider crawled in and she picked it up, covering the top of the glass with a book.

"Why don't you just kill it?" Santana asked.

"Why? This little guy wouldn't hurt a fly."

"That's a blatant lie. They literally eat flies!" Santana countered as she watched Brittany walk over to the window.

"Well, we aren't flies. He doesn't even stand a chance against us. It wouldn't be fair to hurt him." Santana watched as Brittany opened the window and put the glass down, allowing the little spider to walk out on its' own. "Goodbye little land octopus." Brittany picked up the glass and closed the window.

Despite the fact that the spider could easily make its' way back inside, Santana couldn't help but smile at her girlfriend. "Land octopus?" She questioned.

Brittany nodded and walked over to Santana, placing a knee on the arm of the couch so she could lean in close. "Yes, because they have eight legs."

"I figured." Santana nodded and wrapped her arms around her girlfriend's waist. "You're so brave, fighting off that land octopus for me."

Brittany smiled at Santana. "I'll protect you."

Santana placed a soft kiss on Brittany's lips. "My amazing lady-knight in shining armour." Brittany smiled at the title. "But you know, none of this would have happened if you just let me help clean up."

Brittany rolled her eyes and moved around the couch to sit down with her girlfriend. "Yeah, yeah. Let's just pick a movie." She grabbed the remote control and started going through the list. After going through a few, she glanced at Santana. "How about Charlotte's Web?"
