A/N: I decided I really liked writing these stories in this universe. These are a collection of unrealated yet related one-shots in the same universe of chapters 96, 98, and 108 of Together Forever. The first three chapters are the one shots from Together Forever and then the fourth one will start the new ones. Enjoy!
"Hey Berry!" Rachel, who was practicing basketball in the gym, turned around to see Santana Lopez walking toward her.
"What's up?" Rachel asked. Santana smirked.
"Looking good." Rachel blushed. "Your game." Santana continued.
"Yea, well, we play Carmel next week. Have to be ready." Rachel said. Santana nodded.
"I totally understand. So Britts told me that you broke up with what's-her-face?" Rachel raised an eyebrow.
"Yes... Alyssa and I broke up." she said. Santana smiled.
"I never liked her. Do you know what every successful high school athlete needs by their side?" she asked innocently. Rachel shook her head. "A hot cheerleader." Santana whispered in her ear, letting her lips graze Rachel's ear before pulling away to see Rachel's eyes darken. "I'll see you later, Berry." she said, winking before walking out of the gym.
"Britts, I need to ask you something." Rachel said, walking into her sister's room. Brittany, who had been adopted by Leroy and Hiram Berry when she was nine years old, looked up.
"What's up, Rachel?" she asked, motioning for her sister to sit on her bed.
"Why would Santana care that Alyssa and I broke up?" the brunette asked. Brittany raised an eyebrow. "She was in the gym flirting with me, but she's never really wanted to be around me before."
"I don't know what's going on with S. She's coming over tonight though. You can ask her then." Brittany said.
"No, I've gotta get going. We've got a tournament in Columbus and we leave tonight, remember?" Rachel reminded her sister.
"Oh, right. Good luck." Brittany said, hugging the tiny brunette.
"Thanks, B. I'll see you in a couple of days." Rachel said, leaving the room. Brittany rolled her eyes at her sister's obliviousness. Then again, Santana had no idea that she knew that the Latina had a crush on her sister, just like Rachel didn't know that Brittany knew about her crush on Santana. Ten minutes after Rachel left the house, the doorbell rang.
"Hey S." Brittany said, letting her best friend in. Santana smiled and looked around the house as she walked in.
"Where's Rachel?" she asked innocently. Brittany held back her smirk.
"Basketball tournament in Columbus." she explained. Santana nodded slowly.
"Cool. I don't want her yelling at me for playing rap music too loud again." she said, covering up her disappointment.
Santana sighed as she pulled out her phone. She usually teased Rachel whenever she came over, but she couldn't do that this time, so she decided to text the brunette.
Rachel
Not used to you not being here to yell at me for my music. -SL
Sorry, Lopez. Maybe next time. -RB
Yea maybe. Good luck. -SL
Thanks. -RB
The conversation kind of ended there, leaving Santana disappointed. She would never admit this out loud, but she had a crush on the tiny brunette. She'd liked her since their sophomore year, but had never made a move. "Hey Britts?"
"Yea?"
"Why did Rachel break up with Alyssa?" she asked. Brittany sighed.
"Because she's been in love with you since middle school." she said. Santana raised an eyebrow. "And I know you've been in love with her since like sophomore year, so can you two just get together and stop asking me questions about the other?"
"Uh..."
"Don't even deny it, Santana." Brittany said. Santana sighed.
"Fine. I love your sister. I'm in love with Rachel Berry." she admitted.
"What's the big deal? Its not like she's not popular. She's the captain of the basketball team and she's led them to two state championships and will most likely lead them to two more." Brittany said.
"There's always been something in the way. She was with Alyssa for like two years." Santana pointed out.
"Did you notice that Alyssa looked exactly like you?" Santana shook her head. "I've always secretly hoped you two would get together." Santana smiled softly.
Two days later, Rachel was back at home. They'd won the tournament and she was spending the rest of the weekend relaxing. Her dads were both at work and Brittany was on a date with her boyfriend Artie, so she was all alone. At least, until the doorbell rang. Sighing, she got up and answered the door. "Brittany isn't home." she said when she saw Santana on the other side.
"You really shouldn't answer the door in your sports bra. People might think you're easy." the Latina teased. Rachel looked down and remembered that she was wearing basketball shorts and a sports bra with no shirt.
"No one's home, so I didn't put a shirt on." she said. Santana chuckled.
"Can I come in? Britts and I were supposed to hang out, but I guess she ditched me." Rachel nodded. "Cool. We can hang out."
"Sure..." Rachel said, walking to the living room. "I'll go put on a shirt and we can watch a movie in my room."
"Look at the dress." Santana said, looking through a magazine she'd stolen from Brittany's room. Rachel leaned over her shoulder to see and Santana had to bite her lip to keep from kissing the girl.
"That dress is horrifying." she agreed. Santana giggled, causing Rachel to chuckle. The Latina didn't fail to notice that Rachel did not move after looking. "So, is this really what you and B spend all of your time doing?" Rachel asked. Santana shook her head.
"No." she whispered, turning her head to see Rachel's face close to hers. She remained calm for two seconds before softly kissing the girl. Surprisngly, Rachel kissed back.
"What are you doing?" Rachel whispered.
"I'm tired of waiting for you to make a move." Santana explained, slowly moving her hand under Rachel's t-shirt. "You wasted your time putting this on." she whispered.
"Why?"
"Its about to come off." Santana said.
"Wait... I've never..."
"You and Alyssa never had sex?" Rachel shook her head. "You don't know how happy that makes me." Santana said, smiling.
"Why?"
"I'm in love with you, Rachel." It was Rachel's turn to smile. "And I know you feel the same way, so will you be my girlfriend?"
"Of course." Rachel said, kissing the cheerleader.
"So you and Rachel are finally together?" Brittany asked as she leaned against her locker. Santana grinned and nodded, looking down the hall for her girlfriend. She found her standing at her locker, looking for something.
"I'm giving her her space today, because of the big game. I know she likes to concentrate." Santana said, smiling at the tiny brunette's concentrated figure.
"I know my sister and she'd rather you kiss her." Brittany said. Santana blushed and shook her head stubbornly.
"The game is important to her. I'll kiss her after." she said. Rachel turned around to see her sister and her girlfriend. Santana had been kind of distant all day and it worried her, so she walked over.
"Hey Britt. Hey S." she said, smiling up at the slightly taller Latina. "Are you okay." she asked softly, cupping Santana's face.
"I'm fine, baby."
"You've been distant today." Rachel said.
"You play Carmel tonight, I want you to be able to concentrate like you like to." Santana said. Rachel grinned.
"You're sweet." she whispered, kissing the Latina.
"Berry!" Rachel looked over from where she was warming up to see her girlfriend stretching and ran over.
"Hey." she said, smiling softly.
"Good luck." Santana said. Rachel chuckled and kissed the top of her head.
"Thanks baby. Are you coming over after the game?"
"Of course! We gon' be celebratin' baby!" Santana said in a fake gangster accent that made Rachel laugh.
"Sounds like a plan. Bye." she said. Santana grabbed her hand and kissed it.
"Bye superstar." she said, winking.
"Superstar strikes again!" Santana whispered in her girlfriend's ear as the game ended. Rachel laughed and hugged the cheerleader. "Though you missed a few shots you don't normally miss."
"Got distracted." Rachel mumbled, kissing the Latina.
"By what?"
"Some hot cheerleader. No big deal." Santana giggled. "We're gonna be an amazing couple aren't we?'
"I have a feeling we just might be the ones who don't end after high school." Santana whispered, kissing her girlfriend again. "Now let's get to celebratin' cause we'z be goin' to Breadstix." she said. Rachel laughed and nodded, pulling Santana through the crowd and finding their friends. As they ate, Rachel sat in the Latina's lap, because Santana said she deserved it after all her hardwork. "You're amazing baby." Santana whispered in her ear.
"You are too. I love you."
"I love you too."
