I'm On the Right Track

When Finn accidentally broke Rachel's nose during Mr. Schuester's Booty Camp, it took nearly the entire Glee Club to pull Santana off of him. When Rachel came to school the next day carrying brochures about her hypothetical nose job, the fight between her and Santana was so loud and so epically long that literally no one at McKinley didn't hear at least part of it. When Santana accidentally overheard Rachel ask Brittany to come along to her appointment at the plastic surgeon as a reference to what kind of nose she might want, Santana knew what was eating at Rachel and when Mr. Schuester gave them their assignment for the "Born This Way" performance and the t-shirts about things they had struggled or were struggling to accept about themselves, she knew what she had to do to make it right.

Santana had made her feelings clear to Rachel before, but never publicly. She had told Rachel when they got together that she wasn't 100% okay with herself for being gay and Rachel had learned quickly that pushing Santana to be okay only resulted in bigger and louder fights, so she had quit, but sometime in the intervening 10 months, Santana had accepted herself; she wasn't sure when, but it had happened. She told herself that it wasn't that big of a revelation anyway. The club knew they were together, they just didn't know this about them. They may have suspected… That's not to say that what she was going to do didn't scare the shit out of her; it did, but she'd be damned before she let anyone see that.

So with Rachel watching in the empty auditorium still nursing her healing nose, the Glee Club sang Lady Gaga and when the time came, Santana practically ripped her jacket off, flinging it aside, and proudly displaying to the world (or at least to the Glee Club) her white t-shirt with black letters that said "In Love With Rachel Berry" on the front, and "And Her Nose!" on the back. The look of stunned surprise on Rachel's face and the beautiful smile and happy tears that replaced it were worth every second of fear and trepidation Santana had felt.
