Brittany
"I love you," Brittany whispered in her best friend's ear. She was so proud of Santana and it made her realize that she was ready. Brittany was finally ready to make things real. The bells rang shortly after the hugging began and people started to leave the room. Santana held Brittany's hand and started to walk away, but the blonde stood still and told her that she'd catch up with her in a minute.
"Okay, I'll see you later, "she grinned.
"Rachel, Tina, Mercedes wait!" Brittany called.
They came up and met her by the piano.
"I need your help."
Santana
"Ah, Glee Club, call me dorky, but it's my favorite part of the day," Santana thought as she walked into the choir room.
When she walked in Brittany popped up and led her to a chair in the front of the room by the piano. Then Mercedes, Rachel, and Tina stood up and walked behind Brittany.
"What's going on?" Santana questioned. "Is this like an intervention 'cause I feel like I've had enough of those to last me a lifetime."
"No, just don't talk only listen okay," Brittany demanded in her cute little giddy way. She only had that look on her face when she got overly excited and God it was adorable.
Brittany took a deep breath looked Santana in the eyes.
"Do you remember about a year ago you sat me down in the exact spot and sang to me how you felt? Well, now it's my turn."
Santana felt butterflies in her stomach and giggled. "Uh huh."
"Santana, you make me better I don't feel stupid around you. I'm not confused like I used to be. I once told you that I love you more than anyone else in the world, and because of that anything is possible. Well, I was wrong. There's just some things that I can't do."
Santana's face dropped. "What is she trying to say?" She wondered. "Oh my God, she's gonna tell me that she can't be with me." Her thoughts were racing. Her heart was thumping. She was preparing for the worst. Then…
"I can't just be your friend anymore Santana," she said with a huge smile. Then she looked back at the other girls and nodded.
The piano music started and the three girls began to sway and hum in the background, but all Santana could see was Brittany, her Brittany, standing in front of her smiling a smile that could light up her world. She was so beautiful
"Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow"
Brittany took a step towards Santana and continued to sing.
"One step closer
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more"
At that Santana began to tear up. She mentally slapped herself for being so cheesy then looked at Brit again and realized she didn't really care. It didn't matter there wasn't anyone else in the room anymore. Just them.
"And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more"
She took another step. "One step closer"
"I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more"
She took one more step towards the girl in front of her. The only girl she truly loved. Then she held out her hands and pulled Santana up so they were only inches apart.
"Santana, I love you and I want you to be my girlfriend."
Santana sniffled and Brittany wiped away a tear with her thumb then laid her hand on her cheek.
"I'm not confused about how I feel or what I want. I want to be able to hold your hand in public, and I want to be able to tell people that you're my girlfriend. Can I do that?"
Santana put her hand on Brittany's and nodded her head with a very teary, "Mhmm."
Brittany smiled ear to ear and started to giggle and jump in place. Her smile made Santana laugh. Then the tall blonde looked down and her beautiful new, official girlfriend, smiled, and said, "I'm going to kiss you now, okay."
And for the first time Santana didn't give a damn who was watching. She was happier than she'd ever been and she wasn't ashamed anymore. When Brittany kissed her it was like a whole new world opened up. Like all the things she'd ever messed up, all the things that she'd been through, none of it mattered anymore. She had her perfect, and now she'd never have to question whether or not it was all hers. Because now she knew that Brittany was all hers.
