A/N: Nothing really to say…
Disclaimer: Not mine.
Santana Lopez never did like Valentine's Day. Between the small cute gifts you give to your special someone and the increased PDA from loving couples, it was never her holiday. She would always get a small card from Brittany and even one from Quinn, if she was being nice of course. The sweet lady kisses from Brittany were always a lovely addition as well…
However, this year was different.
This year she has a girlfriend. Brittany S. Pierce was her girlfriend.
Santana smiles to herself when she thinks of the cute blonde. She never knew calling Brittany her girlfriend would feel so… right. This was it. She was here. She was queer and they were going to spend the day getting their special Valentine's Day mack on.
As the Cheerio captain continued to walk down the halls of McKinley High, she watched as all the other little boys and girls exchange gifts with their friends and romantic interests.
Tina and Mike were giving each other chocolates in red, heart shaped boxes. Kurt and Blaine were talking about something Santana couldn't hear, though she could see the loving stares they were giving each other. She could also see Puck serenading Lauren and even Finn with one of the new Cheerios.
"Hey Santana, Happy Valentine's Day!" Turning her head around, the brunette sees a blonde haired girl rushing towards her with a Valentine's Day card and some chocolate. However, it wasn't the blonde she was expecting. Quinn.
Grinning, the Latina takes the card and chocolate from the other girl, reading the simple message quickly. She looks up at Quinn. "What? No peck on the cheek, Q?"
Quinn playfully glares at her, slapping the shorter girl's shoulder. "Don't push it."
Before Santana could make another comment, Becky comes up to the two girls and gives each of them a candy gram. As the brunette was unwrapping her chocolate, Quinn was hastily scanning the note. Santana knew it was from her girlfriend, Rachel, and had stopped reading the note over the other girl's shoulder when the diva began describing her love as being one that "burns with the hot intensity of a thousand suns."
The slightly shorter girl rolls her eyes at the questionably creepy, but surprisingly familiar, words. Oh well. Quinn was happy with Rachel, at least, and they were kind of cute together. Annoyingly cute, though… her and Britt were much cuter than them…
Before Santana could open her own candy gram, she feels two pink, furry arms wrap around her waist and a chin perched on her right shoulder. "Happy Valentine's Day, San!" Brittany's muffled voice says as she tries to give Santana a peck on the cheek through the fake gorilla head but failing. The brunette could almost see the pout through the girl's mask. She chuckles to herself before helping her girlfriend remove the odd, pink gorilla head. "Happy Valentine's Day, Britt."
The tall blonde spits out some of the hair that got in her mouth. "Thanks, San! I was worried you would think that I was a creepy pink gorilla going around school to scare people on Valentine's Day…"
"Aw, don't worry, Britts. I would love you even if you scare people with your gorilla suit on Valentine's Day…" Santana answers, pecking the taller girl on the lips.
"Brittany, where did you get the gorilla costume in the first place?" Quinn asks, stifling a few giggles.
Brittany pets the faux pink hair absentmindedly before answering the other blonde with a small smile. "I found it in Mr. Schue's room. It looked totally unused and underappreciated, Q! Don't worry though; I'll make sure to give it back to Mr. Schue after today!"
"Right… I'm sure he's really missing it right now, B." Quinn adds. "Anyway, I'm going to go guys. Rachel and I are planning something special today. I'll see you guys later."
The couple waves back at the other girl before turning their attention on each other. Santana grabs her girlfriend's hand as they proceed to their first period class. "So Britt, what do you want to do today? Dinner at Breadstix?"
Glancing back at Brittany, Santana could see bright blue eyes light up. However, it was not about the Breadstix date. "Wait San, can I talk to you before we go to class?" The brunette hears the tone in the other girl's voice, noticing whatever she was about to tell her was serious.
"Sure, Britt… You want to talk somewhere else?" Santana asks.
She lets her blonde girlfriend drag her all the way to the choir room. As they near the room, Santana begins to get a little nervous. Was Brittany already regretting the decision to date her? Did she do something wrong?
Arriving at the empty choir room, Brittany takes both of the Latina's hands as she takes a deep breath. "You know I love you, right San?"
The shorter girl could feel her heartbeat pick up as she gets increasingly more scared. "Of course, Britt and I love you too."
The blonde nods to herself idly her eyes closed in thought. "Do you still have the candy gram I gave you?"
Santana carefully gives the candy gram to the blonde girl and watches as the other girl turns around, looking like she was trying to remove something from the card. Brittany turns around quickly, hiding the unknown item behind her. Though she doesn't meet her gaze, Santana sees the tiny blush on her girlfriend's cheeks.
"Ok… I've wanted to ask you this ever since they decided… but I wasn't sure how to ask so… close your eyes, San."
She listens faithfully, trusting Brittany with whatever she was going to do. Santana feels her girlfriend's soft hands grasping her own gently and then feeling the blonde slipping on an unfamiliar object onto her finger. Oh my god, Brittany's proposing… WHAT?
"Ok, you can open your eyes now, Santana." Opening her eyes slowly, she looks down trying to examine the odd item on her finger. However, when she sees it, she confusedly blinks twice to make sure the item on her finger was real. A ring pop?
She looks back up at Brittany. "What's this for, Britt?"
The blonde giggles before giving Santana a toothy grin. "It's a promise ring, silly. I wanted to ask you to… go to tonight's dance with me… but I wasn't sure if you'd say yes… so I bought a ring to help seduce you."
Santana takes one last look at the rainbow colored ring pop before looking back at the other girl. "Why would you think that I'd say no, Britt?"
Brittany looks down again, playing with her hands shyly. "I didn't think you'd want to be around everyone else in this school today… you know…"
The Latina takes Brittany's hands before leaning up to kiss the other girl. "You're being silly, Britt. I may have cared before, but I don't care what anyone else says now…"
Brittany could feel her heart stop momentarily when she sees Santana give her a bright, genuine smile. "You're my girlfriend, Britt. No one else matters today on Valentine's Day or any other day of the year. All that matters is you… and me."
She sees Brittany give her a stunned, but enormously happy, look. "Wait, this means you will go to the dance with me?"
"Who else would I go with?"
The blonde cries cheerfully, pulling the other girl in a tight embrace. "Yay! You're the best, San!" She says, beginning to skip out of the choir room and seeming lighter on her feet. "I'll see you tonight!"
"Alright, Britt… See ya!" The brunette answers back.
"She said yes!"
"Of course she would, girl! She's your girlfriend!"
"I'm so excited!"
"We're still going with the plan, right?"
"Totally."
Have fun (:
