Anonymous Tumblr Prompt - Santana is a boxer but doesn't want to tell Dani because Dani hates violence. One night Dani gets a call saying that Santana is in hospital from a boxing match injury.
This took me ages to do cos I'm lazy as hell and trying to get back into writing, if you have any prompts or any ideas feel free to send them to me. Sorry it's so short but enjoy, hopefully.
Dani threw her keys in the vague direction of the kitchen counter and slumped down onto the sofa. Reflexively she checked her phone for a text from Santana. She did say she was busy tonight, but still the worry and missing talking to Santana had become normal. Whenever she talked to her it was the best part of her day, and if she could spend all day with her she would. Lazily she continued binging on tv shows.
When her phone rang she jumped for it, hoping for Santana. It was Rachel.
"Um, hello?"
"Dani? Hi, listen Santana will kill me for telling you but neither Kurt or I can get out of work right now. San's in the hospital, Brooklyn Medical Centre. Sorry I've gotta go, I'm at work. Bye."
Dani tried to process the 20 second phone call, then blinked and got up, grabbing her purse and attempting to find her keys on the counter, finding them on the floor near the counter.
The hospital was a walk away and the humid air was thick and hot as she stepped outside and started to focus her panic on getting to the hospital. She felt kind of sick and she didn't even know what was wrong, Rachel had probably been calling while she was meant to be serving.
The thoughts in her head flew around, about what could be wrong, why she could be in the hospital and what could happen to Santana. I can't think like this, Dani told herself repeatedly in her head. It didn't help.
Walking into the hospital she eventually managed to ask and navigate her way to where Santana was. Walking into the room her heart plummeted, Santana was awake but her slender face was bruised and swollen all along the right side. Her dark hair was messily tied back and there were new stitches above her right eyebrow. Jesus.
"San baby what happened?" Dani rushed over to her and gently stroked her hair, the only place she didn't think it would hurt.
"Well I was, I was in a boxing match and I got knocked out."
"Why the fuck," Dani realised where she was and lowered her voice "why the fuck would you be in a boxing match?"
"Because I box in my spare time, I wanted to tell you and I was going to mention it on our first date but then you said that you hated violence and I was scared you would hate me?" Santana babbled and Dani's heart softened at the tone of her voice.
Sighing, she leaned down and her lips brushed softly against the swollen bruised side of Santana's face.
"I can put up with the boxing San, I hate the thought of someone hurting you though baby"
"Ah but you should see the other girl" Santana sarcastically replied and Dani rolled her eyes, giggling.
