Santana let the tears stream silently down her cheeks as she gazed up into Brittany's deep blue eyes, her hands reaching up to caress her face, and map it all out in a broken sort of wonder. Brittany stood silent as well, her arms by her sides so straight and clenched it was if she was fighting not to move them, resisting reaching out. Her eyes were wide, and her lower lip was trembling, and only when tender hands moved to brush her cheek and fingers floated over her lips did she close her eyes and let her face fall, as a delicate tear slipped free.
And suddenly the mood changed, almost noticeably in the air around them as Santana's hands lowered. With a chocked back sob she grabbed the front of Brittany's black dress by the handful and pressed their lips together almost angrily, slamming herself back against the lockers as she let herself feel the blonde all over her.
"God, I love you" She choked out raggedly into the corner of Brittany's mouth.
"I love you so much" she whispered with a mix of sadness and awe as their mouths opened together, deepening the kiss.
For a blissful minute or two they lost the world around them completely, forgetting the hurt, the worry and the pain - they soothed it all with a seemingly simple kiss, something they'd shared many times before. Although this one was different, more public, and when Brittany realized this she slowly pulled away with one final peck on her lover's now frozen lips.
"Someone might have seen…" She explains hesitantly, almost awkwardly, afraid of ruining the moment. And Santana breaks at last, she shatters; in the blink of an eye she's clinging to Brittany with her entire body, all arms and legs a frantically beating heart, crying and laughing all at once.
"I don't care!" she cries into her neck, the laughter all but gone now as if it was never there at all, just a moment of craziness, " I don't, I can't, not anymore."
It takes several more minutes to calm down completely, but when she finally does she doesn't loosen her grip on Brittany at all, instead she holds her tighter.
"They're going to hate me anyway. Just let me have you."
