"Oh look! A dead frog!" Santana said jokingly and both her and Brittany burst into laughter at their inside joke.

They had been hanging out everyday for a week and a half. They had gone on many "dates" and discovered how much they loved each other's company. Santana still couldn't get over how beautiful and sweet Brittany was. It felt like a dream come true, who knew Santana could have a friend as perfect as Brittany?

"Do you have a best friend?" Brittany asked Santana after they had stopped laughing.

Santana thought it was kind of a childish question. But Brittany was very sweet, childish, and innocent. So Santana thought for a moment. 'I have Quinn, but she's not really a best friend. I mean, sure, we're really close but, she's moody a lot and I actually like Brittany more then I like her... So no. Quinn's not my best friend.'

"Nope." Santana shrugged.

"Will you be my best friend?" Brittany asked. Her blue eyes shone with innocence and Santana couldn't resist.

"Yeah, totally." Santana smiled and Brittany hugged the Latino tightly.

"Thank you so much." Brittany whispered. She had only known Santana for a week and a half, but to her, it felt like a lifetime.

"You're welcome." Santana smiled at the blonde's sincerity.

Brittany released Santana from her warm hug and laid down on the grass of her front lawn. Brittany's mom was at work and her dad was away for the summer, so both girls were alone in Brittany's front yard. Santana laid down beside her and Brittany scooted a little closer to the brunette.

"I've never actually had a best friend..." Brittany turned towards Santana to see her face.

"I've had a best friend a few times. It has never lasted forever before." Santana smiled sadly.

"Maybe... me and you will last forever?" Brittany reached for Santana's hand across the grass.

Santana smiled and squeezed Brittany's hand, "I really hope so, Britt."

"Nobody has ever liked me or wanted to be my friend..." Brittany looked at her shoes.

"What? Why?" Santana was shocked. 'Brittany is the best person I've ever met. How could someone not like her?!'

Brittany sighed, "They think I'm stupid and that I can't do anything right."

Brittany began to cry softly. She tried to hold it in but she couldn't. The tears came and she couldn't stop them. Santana quickly sat up and pulled Brittany into a comforting hug.

"Shhh. It's okay." Santana held the girl while she cried.

"It's true though!" Brittany shouted angrily, her anger wasn't directed at Santana and Santana knew that.

"Brittany," Santana said softly but meaningfully, "none of that is true. Not at all. You're a genius. Just in a way that nobody understands. I know I've told you that before. I promise that's the truth because I'm never going to lie to you because even though we only met a week and a half ago, I really care about you. I care about you more then I've ever cared about anyone else. You're special, Brittany. You really are."

Brittany smiled and a few more tears slid down her cheeks, "That was the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me, Santana."

Brittany hugged Santana tighter and Santana hugged her just as tightly back.

"It's getting cold because of global warning. Can we go inside?" Brittany shivered.

"Sure, but it's global warming, Britt. Global warming makes it hotter not colder." Santana stood up.

"Oh." Brittany looked confused.

Santana extended a hand and helped Brittany up. They walked silently into Brittany's living room.

"Sit down! I'll get some stuff!" Brittany smiled and left before Santana could ask her what kind of stuff.

Santana sat down on the dark green couch in the Pierce family's living room. She searched around for the TV remote, but she couldn't find it so she settled on looking around the living room.

Around the room there were pictures of Brittany and her younger sister. Santana remembered Brittany telling her that her younger sister was away at summer camp.

Santana looked at the pictures with a smile. One was from a past Halloween and it had Brittany dressed as a cheerleader holding her younger sister, who was dressed as a vampire. Another had Brittany and her sister kicking a soccer ball around the yard and laughing.

Just then Brittany reentered the room carrying a big blue quilt, a bowl of popcorn, and the movie, Finding Nemo. Brittany could barely see over all of the stuff she was bringing in but she noticed that Santana was looking at pictures of her and her little sister.

"Are you creeping on my family pictures?" Brittany teased Santana and laughed and placed the blanket- with the popcorn and movie on top of it- on the couch.

"Oh! You scared me!" Santana jumped at the sound of Brittany's voice, "And no, I was not creeping!"

Brittany laughed, "I was joking!" She put the movie in the DVD player.

Santana smiled, "I know! What's your sisters name?"

"Maria. She's pretty cute isn't she?" Brittany said and she picked up one of the pictures of her and Maria at the park.

"Not as cute as her older sister!" Santana laughed and pulled Brittany onto the couch by her wrist.

Santana was in a flirty mood but, saying that to Brittany still made her nervous. Even though she knew the girl wouldn't care.

"Aw! Tana, you're so sweet!" Brittany hugged Santana quickly and draped the quilt over the two of them.

Santana usually hated when people called her Tana but, it sounded so sweet and adorable coming out of Brittany that she couldn't be even a little bit mad. And it was kind of impossible for her to get mad at Brittany.

"Let's start the movie!" Brittany shouted and pumped a fist into the air.

Santana laughed, "You are insane!"

"Why, thank you." Brittany pointed the remote at the DVD player and started her favorite movie.

Santana snuggled deeper under the blanket and brought her legs up to her chest. They began watching the movie in silence, mostly because every time Santana would try to say something, Brittany would shush her loudly. Near the middle of the movie, Brittany started to shift uncomfortably.

Then Brittany softly asked, "Do best friends cuddle?" She peered at Santana with her big, blue eyes.

"Yeah, I guess so." Santana shrugged and ate a handful of popcorn. She was used to Brittany asking random questions.

"Get up." Brittany stood up and motioned for Santana to get up.

Santana sighed. She would never admit it but, she was actually enjoying the movie. Santana held the bowl of popcorn in one hand as she got up off the couch. Brittany tugged the blanket off the couch. The blonde unfolded the couch until it became a bed.

Brittany laid down wordlessly and patted the bed for Santana to lay beside her. Santana laid down next to Brittany and Brittany spread the blanket over them.

"Can we cuddle since you and me are best friends?" Brittany asked Santana shyly.

"Yeah." Santana whispered.

Brittany cuddled into Santana and Santana wrapped her arms around her best friend. They continued watching Finding Nemo without a word. When the credits started rolling Santana heard a light snore from beside her. Brittany had fallen asleep.

Santana smiled and reached over to shut off the lamp, careful not to wake Brittany. She turned off the TV and pulled the blanket so it was covering more of both her and Brittany.

"Good night, beautiful." Santana whispered as she got comfortable.

Santana laid on the bed with her eyes wide open. She was listening to Brittany's steady breathing. She looked down at the peaceful, sleeping girl, who was snuggled up against her chest. As she watched he sleep, she came to a realization. 'I am absolutely, positively in love with Brittany Susan Pierce.'

The thought echoed through her mind as she finally closed her eyes. Santana quickly fell asleep and her dreams were full of Brittany.

I hope it was worth the wait, haha! Sorry about the time jump, it won't happen again. That will be the largest time jump, I might jump ahead a few days from time to time but no longer! Thanks for all the feedback and I hope you enjoyed this chapter❤
