The first thing you noticed about her was her eyes: they were the color of the bluest sky you had ever seen in your life. You remember thinking that they were practically piercing your soul, and when you found out that her name was Brittany S. Pierce, you giggled. Yes, Santana Lopez actually giggled. Right from the start, she had turned you into a sap, and the odd thing was, you didn't mind.
In reality, there were a lot of things that you did with Brittany that you didn't mind. Things that, if anyone else had suggested (like that hobbit, Berry) you would've rolled your eyes and delivered some of your most scathing remarks that had the tendency to leave damaging psychological scars. Things like feeding ducks at the park. For some reason, Brittany loved ducks and although you couldn't see the appeal in the fat waddling creatures, you would willingly get up at 8 in the morning just to accompany her to feed them. You'd leave most of the feeding to her, however, and you would be content just sitting on the grass with an adoring smile on your face, watching her coo softly to the birds while tossing them pieces of bread. Once, you even caught her talking in great lengths to one of them, and normally, this odd exchange would have earned the person one of your infamous what-the-actual-hell faces and then some, but because it was Brittany, you would have gladly joined in the conversation, just to see that smile spread across her face, knowing that you played a part in making it happen.
There were other things that you did with Brittany that felt different when done with others. The first time you kissed her, it was unlike any other kiss that you had shared with random boys in school. Whenever you kissed those boys, you intended to get something out of it. With Brittany, you knew in your head that it wasn't like that. The more times you kissed her, the more frequently that thought kept coming to your mind. It freaked you out so much that you pushed the feeling away and told her that you were only making out with her because you were like a lizard and that you needed something warm underneath you to digest your food (looking back, you wished you could've slapped yourself for making up such a ridiculous excuse). The first time you had sex with her, you knew that you didn't want to have it with anyone else because it just couldn't compare to what you had with Brittany. Sure, sex was just sex and sex was not dating but you found yourself secretly wishing that it was, and that frightened the hell out of you.
It took you awhile before you managed to admit to yourself that you were in love with her. You always had been. When you finally told her, she looked at you with those big cerulean blue eyes, and it was as if she had known all along. It's better with feelings she told you once. And now you know that it's true, you wouldn't have it any other way.
A/N: the Glee timeline really confuses me sometimes, so this series of one-shots will probably jump around the various seasons. As you can tell from the title, this series is inspired by Taylor Swift's song "This Love" from her 1989 album, and each one-shot is titled after a line in the song.
Actually writing something and publishing it is quite new to me; I've had ideas swimming in my head for a long time now, and I've recently decided to give writing it out a shot. So reviews would be appreciated.
