Santana couldn't believe it.
After all the tears, the fighting, the jealousy, the arguments, it had finally happened.
She was with Brittany.
She still shook her head in disbelief and smiled every time she thought back to that day; the day Brittany had turned up at her house, had told her that she broke up with Artie and wanted to be with her. They had hugged, but it was different from their normal hugs; this hug was filled with love, wanting, and, mostly, relief that they could finally be together, with nothing blocking their path to each other.
They had gone on to spend the whole summer together, hanging out in Brittany's room, swimming in the pool Santana's father had installed at the beginning of the year. Santana couldn't remember a time when she was happier than when she was with Brittany; they were best friends, and, more importantly than that, they were in love.
Love.
Santana remembered how afraid she was to admit it, but then how easy it was to say it once she had finally admitted it. Then, a warm glow began to form in her stomach as she thought back on how Brittany had said she loved her too. How they had gazed into each other's eyes, soul mates, together forever. Nothing could break them apart, nothing would come between them.
And Santana made sure no one gave Brittany any trouble; most of the school already knew about her reputation as the feisty Latina from Lima Heights Adjacent, who never hesitated to smack someone if they got on her bad side or said something mean about her beloved Brittany.
So, her summer spent with Brittany was a good one. She enjoyed spending time with the beautiful blonde, laughing, talking, cuddling up on the sofa watching movies. She enjoyed these cuddles more than most things, one reason being she loved feeling so close to the girl she loved, and another reason being they normally led to something more. Before Brittany, Santana had never even kissed a girl. But, now that her eyes had been opened to the experience, she just couldn't get enough. She loved having sex with Brittany, and so was even more grateful for the fact that her parents were away for half of the summer, leaving the girls to enjoy an empty house for two weeks. Santana took full advantage of this, having Brittany stay over for most of the days, resulting in two very happy but very exhausted teenage girls.
And they were happy. Santana found any moment not spent with her girlfriend was dull and boring, and whenever she saw Britt, and she gave her that warm, loving smile, the world seemed like a brighter place.
It had reached the end of summer, and in a few days they would be returning back to McKinley for their senior year. They hadn't really discussed what would happen to their relationship once they got back to school, so Brittany decided to breach the topic one evening when they were lying on her bed.
"Hey, San?" she said timidly, tracing senseless shapes on Santana's thigh with her fingertips.
"Mhmm?" replied Santana, with a small smile forming on her lips as Brittany took her hand.
"I've been thinking…about…umm…well, I've been thinking about some stuff" she mumbled, becoming twitchy and slightly nervous.
"Well Britt, normally when people think, they tend to think about stuff" Santana said, giggling quietly while she sat up to face the blonde. "What's up babe? What's on your mind?"
"Nothing's on my mind San, unless you count my hat" said Brittany, sounding genuinely confused. The Latina stifled a laugh at this, and smiled reassuringly, waiting for her to continue.
"See, the thing is...I…I was just wondering…what'?"
The last part came out in a rush, due to her nerves, and Santana held up a hand to signal her confusion.
"Come again Britt?" she asked, smiling, with one eyebrow raised.
"Okay…umm…I said… I was just wondering what's going to happen with us when we go back to school?"
She then inhaled sharply and averted her eyes from Santana's gaze, afraid of how she would react. She began playing with the sleeve of her jumper, a habit Santana knew she expressed when she was nervous of worried about something.
"Britt, baby, look at me" Santana said softly, taking the blonde's hands in her own. Brittany raised her eyes to meet the brunette's, and was surprised and pleased to find she was smiling. Santana then released one of her hands, and brought her palm up to cradle Brittany's cheek. The blonde leaned into her girlfriend's hand, sighing contentedly.
"Look Britt, I know I've had some trouble with coming out and accepting who I am in the past, but I'm over that now. I love you, I'm proud to call you my girlfriend, and I don't care about what people think anymore. At the end of the day, this is between you and me; it doesn't involve anyone else. I love you Brittany, and I want the world to kn-"
The rest of her sentence was ended abruptly as Brittany leapt forward and planted her lips on Santana's.
She threw her arms around the darker girl, and Santana then melted into the kiss, loving the way their lips fit together as if they were made for each other.
When they eventually broke apart, they lay down, Brittany resting her head on Santana's chest, Santana stroking Brittany's cheek gently.
"I love you too San, don't you forget that" mumbled Brittany sleepily. Santana smiled at this, giving her lover one last gentle kiss on the lips, before they both floated off into the blissful land of darkness and dreams.
