glee_kink_meme prompt:Brittany has a good job, a nice apartment, great friends, and the cutest little kitty in the world. Unfortunately, she has also recently had a string of really bad boy/girlfriends. Today, 11/11/11, at 11:11, she wishes that she could find somebody as loyal, trusting, and affectionate as her cat Santana.
Lo and behold, when she walks into her living room there's a girl curled up on her couch who (sometimes) answers to the name Santana and who is very excited to finally be able to show her person just how much she loves her...once she can figure out how to stand upright and how these crazy things called "thumbs" work. Brittany's just excited that whoever granted her wish heard her mental footnote asking that if her soulmate was a girl, to please make sure that she had big boobs.
I'd love a longer story for this but a one-shot would be amazing too.
Bonus: although Santana can't speak or can only say a few words, she responds to what Brittany says, confirming forever what every cat owner knows deep down: that cats can understand everything you say, they just choose to ignore it.
A/N: Hope you enjoy as much as i enjoyed writing it :) Also many thanks to amazing charisma28 for betaing this story!
Brittany sighed as she entered the dance studio; Mike and Tina were sharing their 'have a nice day' kiss before splitting up to attend their separate classes. It was always endearing to see them, two people being so right for each other but lately it's been frustrating. Not that Brittany was jealous or anything, but nowadays she was beginning to believe that she didn't have a soul mate to call her own. The dream of living happily ever after with the person she belongs to was starting to fade. Maybe she should just settle for being the crazy old lady that lived alone with forty cats, every neighborhood needed one like that, right?
"Good morning!" Tina chirped, pulling her from her thoughts.
"Morning" Brittany mumbled.
"I thought you were a morning person, what's with the face?" When the blonde didn't respond, Tina continued "I guess your date didn't go too well?"
Brittany threw herself on a seat "It was a disaster. I don't even wanna talk about it-"
Tina sat next to her rubbing her shoulder. "I'm sorry to hear that, honey-"
"Maybe I should just stop dating, you know? It's not like I've had a decent relationship. Even my longer relationships weren't about me; I was just a hot blonde. I feel like no one loves me for who I am-"
"Don't be like that, Britt. You are still young and successful and an amazing person. Anyone would be lucky to have you. Also, we love you for who you are, we are always here for you."
Brittany sent a small smile in her Asian friend's direction. "I know… but I just… I just want somebody to love me like that as a mate." She sighed again. "I just wished I could find the 'Mike' to my 'Tina'. I just want to find my soul mate too."
"Well, you are in luck Miss. Pierce, because rumor has it that on the date 11.11.11, at 11:11, whatever you wish for, will come true. Which means that in-" Tina paused to glance at her watch. "—in two hours, if you make a wish, it'll come true." Tina grinned.
"Really?" Brittany asked hopefully, as she began to grin as well.
"That's what they say." Tina shrugged.

10.30 pm
After a tiring day, Brittany sulked angrily around her room, trying to get ready for bed. She was upset that she had missed her chance to make her wish at 11:11am. Tina had tried convincing her that maybe it still worked at 11:11pm, but that didn't change the fact that she was still upset. However, holding onto the hope that what Tina said was true, Brittany set her mind on trying. She really wanted this to work, she needed this to work. Now that she knew that Santa Claus wasn't real, she had no other chance.
"It has to be tonight." She thought to herself as she got under the covers.
It wasn't too much to ask, was it? She had worked hard to open a dance studio; there was no luck, no wish made. Mike, Tina and Brittany put their all into collecting enough money. Now they had a successful and famous studio, they were also best friends. They laughed, danced, had fun together, they helped each other. It was just a simple coincidence that they happened to be in the same high school. However, unlike Brittany, Mike and Tina were in love from the very first moment they started dating. They didn't wish for it, it just happened. They were soul mates and they found one another. Mike always said he would look for Tina for his whole life if they never met in high school. It was just another happy coincidence that they got to meet each other in their early years.
Brittany had just one wish, to find her soul mate. Just one wish- She opened her eyes, 11:01 pm, it was nearly time. She shuffled on the bed, as she felt the foot of the bed dip slightly. Brittany smiled to herself feeling her cat Santana walking on her, heading up her body to sleep on her chest or neck.
"Hey Santana-"
Santana rubbed her head against Brittany's cheek and started purring loudly. Brittany immediately felt better, maybe she doesn't have a partner but she still has this amazing creature that makes her happy. Maybe she could be down with being a crazy cat lady. Santana started to lick her nose, cheeks and lips which made Brittany giggle.
"Baby, believe me I'm into that but your tongue hurts." She said heartily.
Santana stopped and sat on Brittany's chest, the blonde's giggle turned into a soft sigh. The black cat put her arms under her body and stared directly into her human's blue eyes.
"Tonight I'm gonna wish for my soul mate to hurry up." Brittany informed Santana while patting her head. "-For a soul mate that will love me, for me. Even with all my crazy ways, I just want him to love me unconditionally."Brittany giggled and scratched behind Santana's ears causing her to purr even louder. "Like you, I want him to love me just like you." Brittany picked Santana up and laid them on their sides, spooning her cat. "If he doesn't come any time soon I'm gonna lose all my hope-" she whispered into the raven black fur and she waited for the clock to hit 11:11 pm. Then, she started her mantra.
"I want to meet my soul mate as soon as possible. I want to meet my soul mate as soon as possible. I want to meet my soul mate as soon as possible-"

The next morning Brittany woke up, it was still early. Thinking that there is nothing wrong with a good long shower, she rubbed the sleep from her eyes and got up. What she saw stopped her, she blinked, rubbed her eyes again and blinked a few more times. There was a girl, naked, on the foot of the bed, curled up and still sleeping. Brittany tried to remember last night, it wasn't the first time she woke up next to a naked stranger but she couldn't recall anything but going to bed alone. No windows were open, so where the hell did she come from? Brittany inspected the peacefully sleeping lithe body, perfectly toned and curved in all the right places, and the flawless olive skin that smoothly reflected the morning sun.
