so here i am again. this time with a freeverse sequence of twelve separate poems, each based on an unusual or under-appreciated pairing. each poem will be published as a separate story, so if you want to hear about the next one you should put me on Author Alert and not this story on Story Alert. i hope you enjoy this one, it is wes/santana, which has, oddly enough, become one of my favourite pairings recently.

spoilers: from 2.06 (Never Been Kissed) onwards, for the existence of Wes and Dalton in general. Most of it isn't based around canon events, though, so you shouldn't have to worry too much.

disclaimer: i don't own glee, it belongs to ryan murphy and fox. insert appropriate funny comment here, i can't be bothered to think of them any more. :)

after another party at Hobbit's house

a mad mix of New Directions and Warblers

and he was the one who

when he

{that little smile}

'you look really beautiful tonight, Santana.'

:and you couldn't think of a snide retort:

because no-one had ever told you that you looked

beautiful.

(hot...sexy...smokin', maybe)

but never beautiful.

.o0o.

maybe it was the time

-when you realised-

that every time you saw him

you started

don't get me wrong, i have nothing against brittana, in fact i love it, but westana just seems to have this odd pull for me. it's kind of like my relationship with puckurt stories.

please, please review and tell me your thoughts! it's lovely to get story favourites/author favourites, but i'd really like to know what you liked/disliked about it! constructive criticism would be really appreciated!
