How Rachel Proposed to Santana, a glee fanfic

They were all back for a Glee reunion. It was 5 years after they graduated, and they all went back to Glee for a lesson, like old times.

Rachel and Santana, now together, sat together in the front. Mr. Shuester went to the white board and wrote 'Love/Feelings'.

"Now," he started, "it's nice to have you guys back, but, technically, this is a lesson, so we'll celebrate your being here after I explain. Now, I know all of you aren't in love, so I also put feelings." Rachel raised her hand and everyone from the old club laughed. "Yes Rachel?"

"May I go first tomorrow?" She asked.

"You already have a song ready?" He asked. She nodded, and he gave a little laugh, "Of course you do. Now, I'm so happy you guys are here." Everyone cheered. "So, I know Santana and Rachel have prepared a little duet, so. Them!"

The two stood and smiled at each other. Santana went over and whispered to the band what song they were singing. Most people cheered when they heard the song.

Rachel
Head under water
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while
The breathing gets harder, even I know that
Made room for me but it's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands
I'm unusually hard to hold on to

Santana
Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well, but you make this hard on me

Pezberry
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving I'ma need a better reason to write you a love song today, today

Rachel
I learned the hard way
That they all say things you want to hear
And my heavy heart sinks deep down under you and your twisted words,
Your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry

Santana
Convinced me to please you
Made me think that I need this too
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am

Santana
Promise me that you'll leave the light on
To help me see with daylight, my guide, gone
'cause I believe there's a way you can love me
Because I say

Rachel
I won't write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's make or break in this

Pezberry
Is that why you wanted a love song?
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If your heart is nowhere in it
I don't want it for a minute
Babe, I'll walk the seven seas when I believe that there's a reason to write you a love song today, today

When they were done, they kissed and bowed. Everyone cheered and they sat back down. Mr. Shue goes back up and says, "Alright, I'll see you all tomorrow."

The next day

Rachel was, of course, first in the choir room. Santana walked in a few minutes after and said, "Why didn't we just come together?"

Rachel laughed and said, "That's what she said."

Santana rolled her eyes and smiled, "We spend to much time together."

"Anyway, we couldn't come together because I had to set something up for my song."

"And I couldn't be here for that?"

"No."

Santana sat next to her and put her arm around her. Everyone got there and Mr. Shue, as usual, was late. When he did walk in, he clapped his hands and said, "Alright, Rachel! The front of the room is yours!"

Rachel started singing and everyone smiled at the song.

When I need motivation
My one solution is my queen

She pointed at Santana for that line.

'Cause she stays strong
Yeah, yeah
She is always in my corner
Right there when I want her
All these other girls are tempting
But I'm empty when you're gone
And they say

Rachel shrugged her shoulders and sang.

Do you need me?
Do you think I'm pretty?
Do I make you feel like cheating?
I'm like no, not really 'cause

She grabbed Santana's hands and pulled her up to dance with her.

Oh, I think that I've found myself a cheerleader
She is always right there when I need her
Oh, I think that I've found myself a cheerleader
She is always right there when I need her

Rachel sat her back down and Brittney stood up and strutted around the room like a model.

She walks like a model
She grants my wishes
Like a genie in a bottle
Yeah, yeah
'Cause I'm the wizard of love
And I got the magic wand
All these other girls are tempting
But I'm empty when you're gone
And they say

Do you need me?
Do you think I'm pretty?
Do I make you feel like cheating?
I'm like no, not really 'cause

Oh, I think that I've found myself a cheerleader
She is always right there when I need her
Oh, I think that I've found myself a cheerleader
She is always right there when I need her

Rachel winks at Santana.

She gives me love and affection
Baby, did I mention
You're the only girl for me
No, I don't need a next one
Mama loves you too
She thinks I made the right selection
Now all that's left to do
Is just for me to pop the question

Rachel gets on one knee in front of Santana.

Oh, I think that I've found myself a cheerleader
She is always right there when I need her
Oh, I think that I've found myself a cheerleader
She is always right there when I need her."

After the song finishes Rachel pulls out a ring and says, "Santana Lopez, I have loved you for three amazing years. I even had Mr. Shue do love as the lesson, just so I could do this. You are the love of my life. I have never loved anyone more than I love you, myself included. So, Santana Lopez, will you marry me?"

Santana looks at her crying and hugs her. "Yes, of course I will."

Rachel hugs her back and says, "I love you, so much."

"I love you, too," she then pulls away. "You had Mr. Shue do this lesson just so you could propose?"

"Of course. Ask him, I told him I'd pay him." Rachel smiles and takes Santana's left hand and puts the ring on it.

Everyone cheers and Mr. Shue walked to the front of the room after Santana and Rachel went back to their seats. "Yes," he said, "the lesson was all Rachel's idea. It was originally going to be songs we sung in the past, but she asked me to do this, and how can I say no once I knew the reasoning?" Mercedes raised her hand. "Yes, Mercedes?"

"So, can we do the other lesson? Since that one did its purpose?" she asked.

"Sure, why not? Everyone had to do a song we have already done, but put a new twist on it." Rachel raised her hand. "Yes, Rachel?"

"What if the person you performed the song with is...deceased?" She asked, looking to the drums.

Mr. Shue caught on and said, "As I said, um...put your own twist on it. So, you can...uh...find a new partner." Rachel nodded. "Anyone have anything? Off the top of their head?"

Everyone turned to Rachel and she said, "I might have something." She walked to the front and told Brad her song.

She started singing Defying Gravity and when she got to the line before the line with the high note, Kurt cut in and started singing. Everyone applauded when he hit the high note. Rachel took back over and finished the song.

After that, everyone was dismissed and Santana said to Rachel, "I'll be right back." Rachel nodded and Santana kissed her and ran over to Quinn and Brittney.

Quinn saw her first and said, "Hey, Mrs. Berry."

Santana smiled widely and said, "Shut up, Quinn! I just wanted to say, we should do our performance of Toxic again."

The other two nodded and then Quinn's eyebrows furrowed in confusion at something behind Santana.

Santana turned around and saw Rachel wasn't there anymore. "Where'd Rach go?" she asked.

"I don't know," Quinn said.

Santana pulled out her phone and texted Rachel.

Where'd u go?- San

I'm in the auditorium. I wanted to look at Finn plaque real quick. I'll be back in a bit.- Rach the Star

K.- San

Santana put her phone away, but it buzzed again. It was Rachel again.

I really hate when you use text slang. It's not that much work to spell the whole word.- Rach the Star

Santana out her phone away and smiled. "Where is she?" Quinn asked.

She smiled sadly and said, "Looking at Finn's plaque in the auditorium."

Quinn sighed and said, "I miss him."

"I know I wasn't always...okay, ever the nicest person to him, but it is sad that he's dead."

Brittney said, "It is sad. So," she said, "are we doing the same dance routine for Toxic as we did in high school?"

Santana thought back to it. "That's pretty sexual, Brit. We're all taken and I'm not sure how much our lovers would like that."

Rachel chose that moment to walk over and said, "Lovers? That's how you word it?"

Santana jumped, not having seen Rachel come up, and said, "Holy crap! You scared me! Anyway, yes, that's how I worded it. How would you have?"

"Partner?" Rachel said.

Santana thought for a moment, then said, "Oh, shut up." Rachel just smiled.

"So, whatcha talking about?" She asked.

"Doing Toxic for the assignment," Brittney said. "If we did the original moves, would you get jealous?"

Rachel thought for a moment and said, "No."

"See, San? We're fine. Can we do them?" Quinn asked.

"Fine, fine. We can do the moves." After a few minutes of talking they all decided to leave. Santana looked at Rachel and said, "Are you sure your okay with the moves? They're pretty sexual."

"San, they're fine." She leaned close and whispered, "I think it'd be a major turn on. In fact, when we get back to my parents house, they aren't home, and won't be for a week. Do you want to show me some of the moves?"

Santana looked at her and nodded. Best day ever.
