Had to write following 2x15. Short conversation I thought was quite a logical conclusion. Only short. More Comet Jet coming soon. Promise.


"Santana!"

The voice was one she wasn't expecting, and surprise made her turn to its source. Tina Cohen-Chang, the Asian one dating the other Asian, stood before her defiantly; fists clenched by her sides in an act of false confidence. For once, Santana had no interest in calling her out.

"Don't hurt him," Tina started, her mouth poised to elaborate but the fallout of years of pretending to stutter stopped her short.

Santana bristled. Why was it that everyone automatically assumed she was out to hurt someone? Yeah, she was a bitch, and totally from the wrong side of Lima but that didn't mean she was heartless.

"Oh please, Guppy Mouth is a big boy. And why do you even –"

"I wasn't talking about Sam. Look Santana, Artie's … Artie tries to be this big man, but he's … " Tina smiled sadly, "He's Artie, you know? He'd be crushed if anything were to make Brittany break up with him."

"I am so sick of Artie! She's been mine for longer than she'll ever be his."

God damn, Santana just wanted to get home and cry in a tub of Ben & Jerry's.

"He'll fight for her and –"

"I'll fight him for her." Cripple or no, she'd kick him to the ground.

"I'm not saying you can't explore your," Tina waved her hands emphatically, "'lesbian' side. Just … wait, ok?"

Santana was ready to slash her with her vicious, vicious words, before Tina looked at her pointedly.

"Do you understand what I'm saying?" Tina stared Santana in the eyes. "Just wait."

As Santana watched Tina walk away, she couldn't help feel a little lighter. Brit Brit would be hers. She'd just have to wait.
