(New style for me, let me know if you like it/want it to continue! I own nothing glee related)
If someone would have said that Finn Hudson would be the reason Brittany and Santana finally started dating... Well, no one would have believed it.
Back story:
Brittany and Santana's friendship worked because they were polar opposites. Brittany is always happy, slightly dim-witted, and naive; While Santana is intense, critical and calculating. Brittany smiles whilst Santana scowls, their friendship should never have worked... but it always has.
They met in 5th grade. Santana moved to Lima over the summer from Chicago when her parents got divorced. She walked into class that first day with something to prove. The teacher sat her at the back table with Rachel Berry and Jacob Ben Israel... Soon after that she found herself with a detention and her seat getting moved to a table closer to the head of the class, because she threatened to beat Jacob up and insulted Rachel in a language the teacher didn't understand.
Santana came into school and sat down at her new desk, it was in-between two giggling blond girls. Santana rolled her eyes and threw her math book on the table.
"Hi!" a voice chirped, she jerked her head up and looked into aqua colored eyes. "I'm Brittany, this is Quinn." The other blond on her right gave her a practiced smile.
"Santana" She replies, pulling her notebook out of her bag. They were inseparable from that first introduction on.
That second day of school also solidified her position as a badass even at eleven. She found her match in Noah Puckerman later that day in detention. Quinn, Noah, Brittany and Santana became a force of nature. Noah and Santana would raise all kinds of hell, all while being able to hind behind the infallible Quinn and the devastatingly sweet Brittany. The quad lasted until the summer before freshmen year when Noah- who had recently renamed himself 'Puck'- decided he couldn't be friends with the girls anymore. He went and joined the football team, while Quinn dragged Brittany and Santana onto the Cheerios.
Freshmen year was one of self discovery, Cheerios gave the girls power and Santana liked power. They quickly became the most sought after girls in the school, except the Latina didn't feel the same about the boy's who followed them around like puppies. She convinced it was because none of them were attractive, but she stopped being able to convince herself when she started paying more and more attention to Brittany. Something cracked and she couldn't take her eyes off her best-friend. She was scared to acknowledge her feelings, so she finally accepted Noah… Puck's offer to date.
Dating Puck was actually easy. They got along well and didn't try to change each-other. Two or so months into dating, he started pressuring her to have sex, which she had no interest in. Every-time they were together he would test her boundaries, which she always put an end to. At the first football party Puck slept with one of the other players sisters.
During the night, she watched Puck get more and more drunk as the party progressed. Santana didn't drink, ever. She had seen what it did to her parents and vowed to never end up like them.
"BABE" Puck yelled into her ear, his breath stale on her neck. "Come upstairs with me."
"No." She states, pushing him away, "I'm not fucking you tonight, so get over it."
"Whatever." he spat, "I'm a dude. I have needs!"
"Find someone else to fill them!" She replied, walking out to the porch. A few minutes later a familiar sent of love spell lotion wafted through the air.
"Hey." Brittany said, as she stood next to the railing that Santana was perched upon. "I saw you and Puck fight."
"Nothing new there, B." She replied, giving the blond a half smile.
"He just went upstairs with another girl." the blond whispered, moving her hands under Santana's knees to keep them warm.
"Yeah" She sighed, "I told him too... Do you wanna get out of here?"
"I'll go get Quinn." Brittany nodded, before disappearing back into the house. The Latina rolled her eyes as Brittany bounced off. She kinda meant for just the two of them to leave, for once. They decided to head to Brittany's house; they descended upon the familiar space.
"Finn Hudson's kinda cute." Quinn notes as she enters Brittany's bedroom, moving to lie down on the couch. Brittany nod's as she pulls Santana by the hand over to her bed. Despite the fact they are all teens and way too cool to be scene watching a little kid's movie; they put in Aladdin. Santana lays on her back with Brittany slightly draped over her. She looks over and sees that Quinn was asleep,
"I can show you the world. Shining, shimmering, splendid. Tell me, princess, now when did, you last let your heart decide?" Santana sang softly as she ran her nails on the blonds scalp.
"You look like Jasmine." Brittany whispers, turning her head to look at her friend.
"Because I have black hair and dark skin" Santana asks, the other girl shakes her head no.
"Because you are pretty." she smiles, picking her head up off the Latina's chest. For the first time, Santana feels light headed, her face gets hot and an unfamiliar tingling descends all over her body. Smiling, the blond traces Santana's angular features; from her forehead, down her nose and settling on her lips gently grazing the pad of her thumb against the silky skin of the darker girls bottom lip. Aqua eyes flicker up to coffee colored ones before Brittany leaned up and softly brushed her lips against Santana's.
