Brittany often made mistakes.

"Sex is not dating"

"If it were, Santana and I would be dating"

The resulting silence was unsurprising, and mercifully short.

"Jesus, Britt..."

Santana swung her bag onto her should, and pushed through the choir room door, Brittany trailing after her.

"I'm sorry."

Then: "San, please talk to me!"

Santana Lopez could reduce anyone at McKinley High, staff included, to tears in under three minutes, and incidentally, three minutes was the absolute longest amount of time she could give Brittany the silent treatment.

"Its ok, B. I'm sorry, i just overreacted."

"It just came out wrong, it was different in my head..."

"I know. It doesn't matter."

"Its still true..."

"What?"

"What you said. Its still true."

"I keep waiting for you to get bored with waiting for me. I... I thought when you said it, you were trying to make a point or something..."

"No, San. Really, it was just a mistake.."

"..."

"You know i don't mind waiting, right?"

"Really? I...its just, there were all those guys when it felt wrong, but i didnt care about them, so it didn't matter. With you...i DO care. And i want it, i really do. Just...i know its going to be different with you, and i...i..."

"San, i want you to be ready. Not until then; it wouldn't be right."

"You don't feel like we're missing out?"

"No. Not at all."

"Come on-"

"San, i care about YOU. Being with you and spending time with you...thats what matters. You know that dating isn't just sex, right?"

"Because if it were, we wouldn't be dating..."

"Yes. Hey, i got it right this time!"

"Congrats, Britt."

"..."

"..."

"Love you, S"

"I love you too, B"
