For the first time ever, Santana is the first one to Glee. She sits in her usual spot in the back with her arms crossed, trying not to look as anxious as she feels, but the bouncing of her legs gives her away. She's lost in her thoughts, and doesn't really acknowledge anyone as they slowly file in, not even when Brittany prances in and plops down next to Mike, animatedly discussing their newest dance move.
When Mr. Schue finally walks in 10 mintues late (as per usual), Santana finally snaps to attention and raises her hand even before he has a chance to speak.
"Uh yes, Santana?"
"I have something that I'd like to share before we get into whatever pointless exercise you've arranged for this week."
She doesn't even wait for a response as she struts to the center of the room, Puck following her and sitting slightly behind her with his guitar.
"This is dedicated to B. I know we talked about this the other night, but I've done so many things wrong, I just wanted to make sure that I did this right." Her nervousness is apparent as she wrings her hands, her eyes never leaving Brittany's. "And I hope your answer is still the same."
She turns and nods to Puck who begins to play Adam Sandler's "Grow Old With You" from the Wedding Singer, but when she opens her mouth, the words are all her own.
I want to make you laugh,
and erase all your pain.
Sweep you off your feet
and kiss in the rain.
Oh all I want to do,
is go out with you.
I'll get you medicine,
when you have a rough night.
Hold you close
when we turn out the light.
Oh it would be so nice,
to go out with you.
I'll adore you,
I need more you.
Give you my heart for you to hold.
I'll tease you,
please you.
Even move to Cali if Ohio's too cold.
So let's put on a movie
and snuggle up close.
Forget the world
cuz you are what I need most.
Oh I could be the one,
who goes out with you.
Just say that you want me too.
Santana's vaguely aware of the raucous applause her friends are giving her, but all she can really focus on is how hyperaware she is of the way Brittany's smile takes up her whole face and that even though her ocean blue eyes are pooling with tears, she has never looked happier or more beautiful.
Time seems to stand still as Brittany draws her into a tight hug and simply whispers in her ear "Forever."
