A/N: Hey! this is my first story on here (: I hope you guys like it. I haven't seen any brittana camp fluff so I thought i'd add some. i'm writing this for myself and for you! please tell me if there's something you think needs work, and i'm very open to suggestions guys!
Santana groaned at the sound of birds chirping next to her window. The screen blocked most bugs from getting in but everything else seemed to just burst through. She rolled to turn face down and will the sound to go away. why was she here. In this fucking camp. Not wanting to be late on her first real camp day, she rolled out of bed feeling nothing but air on her side and literally rolled out of bed, forgetting she was in a sleeping bag and ending up on the floor. For the second time, she mentally asked god why he made her look like such an idiot. The pain from hitting her ass on the floor spread to her back and she flinched when she moved her arm. Hearing a chuckle from the other side of the cabin in the bunk across from hers, her eyes snapped open with her scowl already in place. The room was visible but still a little dark, it looked like sunset but the chill in the air and the stupid birds told her otherwise. Her eyes softened when she found Mercedes propped up on her hand looking down towards her.
"S'okay girl, it's only me" She mumbled, chuckling sleepily. Santana let a small smile form on her lips.
"you're up early."
"yeah, I couldn't really sleep, too excited."
"ugh. I wish I could be as excited as you."
"Saaan. it'll be okay, at least you have me here instead of just kitty. who's not even here right now."
"Good. where is she? She bugs the shit out of me. why is she even here." She scowled again, thinking of the annoying, tiny blond. There were so many blondes here.
"I don't know where she is. But come on san, it isn't so bad. You gotta find adventure! have fun, I know I will with sam around" Mercedes giggled and her eyes softened before glazing over in thought. Santana sighed waiting for her to keep going, knowing it was hopeless when M thought about guppy lips. They've been so into each other for so long. Sam was perfect for Mercedes and vice versa. Santana made a gagging gesture and the other girl snorted. After a few moments of sleepy silence Mercedes got up and shuffled around to get ready. Santana sat up and scooted her butt closer to her duffle bag. It was too cold to get out of her sleeping bag and she had no bra on, so her nipples were sure as heck showing through her pink tank top. She rifled through her bag before finding denim short shorts that showed off her legs and a white V-neck that fit her body perfectly. She smirked, knowing that if there were any hidden lesbians around camp, they'll be bursting through the closet by the time she gets there. She's been out and proud since last year and knows she can get dat ass, but the girl has to be at least interested. It seemed hopeless here to find another open lesbian but she might as well try, right? She got up and started undressing and felt a breeze when the cabin door opened. Kitty stood there with a bored expression and sat on her bunk. Her stuff was neatly packed around and under her bed. Santana's was already thrown and sticking out, and its only a few hours. Mercedes came from the bathroom wearing a hoodie and black jeans, giving Santana a hard stare.
"are you serious? it's so cold out there right now san! I saw my breath a little bit while I walked to the bathrooms, go put on some pants!" she nodded in the direction of Santana's messy duffle bag. She rolled her eyes and looked at kitty, noticing she was there.
"but I look smokin', it'll get hot pretty soon" Santana smirked and kitty rolled her eyes.
"you best put on that sweater I saw earlier in there, I don't wanna get sick just because you wanted to convert some straighties."
"But 'cedes" She pouted, going over and throwing her arms on her. Santana was never really touchy feely with anyone. Quinn and Mercedes were her best friends so she always allowed hugs and kisses for them. Her girlfriends would get pretty upset when she never cuddled them, but she didn't care. So when Mercedes felt her pleading embrace she rolled her eyes and giggled. Santana walked towards the door with a smug smile and looked over at kitty who was looking at her nails, disinterested. The three sat in silence, each in their own bubble of thoughts. Santana longingly stared out the window, not really seeing the camp, but the plane that flew over them, probably going somewhere cool, like not this camp. She glanced up at the two still sitting in the cabin.
"Are we going to the camp center or not?" Santana asked both of them, but kitty answered.
"well duh that's why I came back here. We're supposed to go to breakfast around the campfire with everyone. we also get our campers today." She grinned mischievously. Santana tensed at her attitude and was opening her mouth to spit out an insult but Mercedes beat her to it.
"well how are we supposed to know that if you've been sitting there as silent as a rock?" She scoffed, getting up and standing with Santana by the door. "Come on san." they both pushed out the door and stood in the crisp morning air. Santana took a few minutes to look around the campsite, it was too dark to actually see anything the night before. Besides the 5 cabins on the girls side, three of which were being used, there was a gravel trail leading to the boys side of the campsite, which wasn't that far away. A connected trail halfway to the boys campsite broke off to go to the bathrooms, which were exactly in the middle. Santana watched a dark figure scamper into the bathroom to pee or shower. Continuing her scan she noticed the shadows against the other girl's cabins, signaling they were up as well. Another trail lead to the woods where the camp center was on the other side, it was only a five minute walk but the woods made it seem longer. While most of the campsite was flat and open, the trees made tall walls surrounding them. Looking through the trees was impossible and gave the illusion that they were secluded from everything outside of them. It was calming for Santana. She came to get away and accompany Quinn, it was starting to seem like a good idea. The only opening that broke the illusion of isolation was the clearing that led to the lake. There was a dip in the ground and Santana could see the early morning mist creeping over the dark water. There was an old blue dock that held kayaks on one side and boat/canoes on the other side. She smirked to herself, knowing that would be either a relaxation place or a make out spot, depending on her findings about the rest of the female counselors.
"Come on girl I have to go find my man" Mercedes broke her our of her daze and was grinning towards the boys cabins.
"you go ahead, I have to go to the bathroom and brush my teeth, meet you at the camp center?" She asked and nodded towards the woods with the trail leading to where the campfire was supposed to be. Mercedes grinned wider, nodding and started heading towards the boys side. It wasn't off limits to the counselors', only the campers, but Santana had a feeling it should be a rule for both. Smiling she walked towards the bathroom. The door corners had spiders on them and Santana shuddered. she hated spiders. There was no reason for them to exist, they didn't really contribute anything except killing flies and we have stuff to do that now. She was lost in her thought about why spiders were useless that while she walked in and washed her hands she didn't notice there was someone in one of the stalls. She also didn't notice as she went into one of the stalls that there was a spider hanging above her on the wall. Santana stood there, lost in thought about why Quinn would bring her to a place where spiders seemed to be everywhere, when she felt something tickle the back of her neck. Dismissing it as a breeze she looked around and realized there wasn't any toilet paper. Frowning, she walked out of the stall and found herself locking her brown eyes onto surprised bright blue ones. It was the blonde bombshell from the day before. The blonde's eyes widened as she looked at the Latina's shoulder. Santana smirked, She saw the Blonde's eyes gaze towards her collarbone, which only caused Santana to smirk harder. This girl's pretty forward. The blonde opened her mouth and started stuttering. Santana frowned and looked behind her, just in case a serial killer was standing there. When she found the space empty she took a chance and looked down at her shirt. Suddenly wishing it were a serial killer behind her instead of what seemed to stare back up at her.
"uh-t-there's-a-s-spider on your boob." She swallowed and glanced up to meet santana's eyes. "THERE'S A SPIDER ON YOUR BOOB" she squealed and moved towards the latina, grabbing some pieces of paper from the counter. Santana froze for a second before her eyes widened.
"WHAT"
"SPIDER ON YOUR BOOB"
"GET IT OFF!" Santana started jumping around and squealing, trying not to touch her shoulder. She looked towards the blonde with wide, pleading eyes.
"OKAY OKAY STOP MOVING, you don't want to hurt it." She was giggling and her face was flushed from yelling. Hurt it? Santana's eyes widened again at the suggestion to save the most evil thing on this planet. She tried to stay as still as possible while blonde came over to move the spider. Her hands were careful as she avoided touching anything but the menace. She was inches away from her and could feel the gentleness from the blue eyed girls hands as she brushed Santana's shoulder. Both girls stayed silent as if one sound would cause the spider's retaliation. Once it seemed like the coast was clear on her body the Latina relaxed and glanced at the girl, she watched her face focus on the spider. There were freckles dusted along her nose and cheeks, her hair was loosely pulled back, exposing ears that were tinted pink, the girl's mouth was set in a cute pout as she scooped the spider off Santana's boob and onto the floor. Resisting the urge to kill the creature they just set loose she shuddered and looked back at the blonde. She found her already looking at her with an amused expression etched on her face and her lips curling slightly at the side. Santana groaned internally when she realized how weak and scared she had acted. She felt her cheeks heat up and was sure the blonde could see because her lips twitched upwards into a bigger smile than before.
"um. Thanks...For getting the spider off me." Santana looked everywhere but the girl's piercing blue gaze.
"No problem. you probably would've killed it if I didn't save it." She shrugged and grinned, contradicting her serious tone.
"pfft, what? you were worried about it? it probably would've killed me." Santana scoffed and folded her arms across her chest, glaring at the grinning girl.
"yeah i'm sure" She said unbelieving "i thought you looked pretty tough yesterday, but I guess I was wrong" She teased and Santana stiffened.
"i would've gone all Lima Heights on that bastard if you hadn't...taken me by surprise like that. yeah. It was spur of the moment surprise." Santana lifted one shoulder casually, pretending to be indifferent but sounding like she was trying to convince herself. The blonde's shoulders shook silently as she tried to hold in a chuckle.
"it's okay, I wont tell anyone, Santana." She smiled at the latina, who stared back eyes wide. How did she know her name?
"How do you know my name?" She asked defensively, a little creeped out. she shuffled closer to the door. What if this girl saved her from the spider because she wanted to kill her. what if she was a spider? oh god. Santana thought she was in a nightmare, she knew coming here was a terrible idea. The movies she watched about camps always ended up in massacres. The girl's blue eyes danced around her face, looking for something but ended up with the same amused expression from so many times before. She giggled, causing Santana to tense up again.
"Everyone introduced themselves last night silly." She quirked an eyebrow. Santana raked her memory and wanted to face palm herself. Of course, she had zoned out to think about the next season of the L word while everyone went around to say names, it was only when Quinn made her say hers she woke up from her trance. Santana relaxed.
"okay, you know my name, what's yours? I sorta zoned out last night." she admitted sheepishly. The blonde smiled and stretched her hand out towards the latina. She took it without thinking and the girl's hand was soft and warm. She felt tingles shooting up and down her arm, and hoped the other girl didn't notice.
"i'm Brittany, savior of spiders" She giggled and Santana felt herself blush. they both stood there for a few seconds, still shaking hands while locking eyes. Santana felt the temperature in the room get warmer so she coughed and looked down, feeling her hand still tingle.
"well Brittany. we better get going to the camp center, because we're pretty late now." Santana looked at her watch and sure enough, they were ten minutes overdue. Brittany's eyes lit up with mischief and she nodded. She glanced down and hesitated for only a moment before grabbed Santana's wrist and pulled her towards the door.
"um, what are you doing?" Santana looked at her hand and then back up to Brittany who was grinning from ear to ear. She headed out the door, letting Santana's wrist go. She felt cold without the contact but shrugged and kept walking behind the blonde.
"we're going to the morning campfire." Brittany glanced over her shoulder
"okay. should we walk faster?" Santana asked, unsure of what to do. Were they walking together? they just met, they have nothing to talk about. She felt her stomach clench nervously. She was never much of a talker when it came to new people. Brittany seemed to sense her hesitation and sent her a small grin.
"if you want" She shrugged "but we'll get there faster if we race." grinning she crouched to tie her sneakers. They were red and matched her red track shorts, she had on a black t shirt and light mascara. She looked beautiful. Santana realized she was leering, so she put on her cockiest smirk and nodded in agreement.
"I'm ready when you are." With that, Brittany took off running, Santana was confused at the sudden movement but it morphed into determination as she ran to catch up. Their heavy footfalls made crunching sounds against the gravel. Dashing past the cabins and towards the opening of the woods that led to the camp center Brittany looked behind her and smirked as she sped up. Damn, she was fast. Santana's breath was labored and Brittany looked like she wasn't even sweating. Her eyes fell down to the blonde's legs. They were long and toned, she could see the muscles contracting and moving as the girl ran ahead of her. Santana's eyes traveled up to the most amazing ass she has ever seen. She glanced up to find Brittany looking back at her for a second with a smile hinting at her lips before turning away from the brunette. Shit. She had been caught looking. She stumbled a bit and felt the heat rush to her face. Brittany didn't look back and Santana saw her ears tinged with pink. They ran in silence with Santana still behind, only the crunch of gravel and heavy breathing as noise. The clearing towards the camp center was coming up. The smell of wood burning and bacon filled her nose and she realized Brittany was winning. She had to prove herself from the whole spider thing. She forced her legs to move faster and saw Brittany's eyes widen in surprise when she ran past her. She winked at the blonde and turned around towards the clearing. Collapsing on the grass when she reached the group she felt Brittany walk up beside her head. Santana looked up to find Brittany gazing down at her with a grin.
"Where have you two been?! you're fifteen minutes late! you're lucky I saved you both food before Finn ate it all" Quinn was fuming. It wasn't a big deal, but she was just upset about irresponsibility on Santana's side. She rolled her eyes and her stare become curious when she looked back and forth between the latina and Brittany. "where were you guys?" she questioned again, not accusingly, but inquiring. She studied Santana's blushing face and her frown deepened. Brittany spoke up.
"Santana tripped" She lied easily. Santana's eyes shot up to look at the blonde. tripped? that was way better than what actually happened. She sent Brittany a grateful smile and nodded towards her best friend. Quinn grunted and went towards Mercedes, who didn't even notice the Latina's arrival because she was oogling at sam stuffing his face with bacon strips. Santana glanced at Brittany who was looking at the dude with a Mohawk with a smile on her face. Santana felt a slight tinge of disappointment dampen her hopes of the blonde being gay with the look of soft affection swirling in those bright blue orbs.
"um, thanks, for covering for me" Santana smiled at the blonde who looked at her with an unreadable expression.
"covering up for what?" She asked seriously and shrugged. the Latina saw a glint in her eye that told her she was kidding. She laughed and brushed a strand of dark hair behind her ear.
"i'll see you later then?" She meant it to sound like a statement, but it came out like a question. She looked up and Brittany smiled before nodding and skipping towards the guy Santana remembered as Puck. Santana watched her go before turning and sitting on the log next to Quinn. The hazel eyes blonde looked up at her and smirked knowingly.
"i see you found my cabin mate entertaining" She chuckled. Santana glanced over to Brittany, who was laughing at something puck was saying. She shrugged, putting on a bored expression and looking at the fire. She ate whatever Quinn gave her and didn't pay attention to the noise around her as she spent the rest of the meal thinking about her blue eyed savior.
After breakfast, Santana found Mercedes and Quinn at her cabin. they were both laughing at something and Santana huffed and threw herself onto her bunk. Brittany had spent the entire meal glancing at Santana and briefly making eye contact. Santana's gaydar was pretty on point but the blonde looked like she was really comfortable around Puck. She wanted her to play for her team. She seemed so nice, and funny, and super ridiculously hot. Santana's mind drifted back towards the race. Her eyes lingering on her legs, the way they seemed to take steps that were way bigger than her own. After thinking about the details from the spider incident for a few minutes, She thought about Brittany's heavy breathing mixed with her own as they ran, and her mind went somewhere dirty so she focused on the current conversation going on around her.
"i don't know, i'm not really good with kids." Quinn muttered, looking at her nails.
"yes, you are" Mercedes scoffed "I've seen you with your niece, Beth"
"yeah but these kids are different, they're not related to us, we're completely responsible for them for the whole summer" Quinn stated, Reminding Santana why she was here. She groaned and turned to glare at her two friends who were making way too much noise for her to take a nap. "hey can you guys do me a favor and shut up?" she sent a sweet smile their way and turned her face towards the window.
"well excuse me mrs.i-show-up-late-with-a-bombshell-blonde-and-no-explanation"
"Mercedes is right. You can't complain when you were obviously wasting your energy with Brittany before breakfast."
"if sam wasn't there i probably would have laughed at how flustered santana looked" Mercedes giggled "you were so red!" Santana scowled and kept her face away from them.
"Brittany told me san tripped" Santana could hear the smirk in Quinn's voice "which is completely believable since san isn't used to nature's rocky roads and stuff." Santana's irritation doubled at the giggling growing into Quinn reminiscing all the times santana had fallen at cheerleading camp.
"And then she stood up with this look on her face-" Quinn took a breath from laughing "-and asked who pushed her when she was the one that pushed melanie." Quinn waved her hand in the direction of Santana.
"No way! of course she would" Mercedes chuckled and shook her head
"No but there was this other time during our sophomore year when she was trying to get into another girls pants, or skirt if you want to get technical but-" santana cut her off with pillow thrown at the back of her head across the room.
"Q, don't you have your own cabin to be at?" Santana asked with her eyebrows raised. She tried to pour as much annoyance into her voice as she felt. Quinn huffed before turning around. "yeah i do. but we still have a few hours before the campers even get here san. It's not my fault bringing you here was the best thing ever." the latina rolled her eyes at the contradiction in her sentence before facing down on her pillow and trying to get some sleep before an army of kids would dominate her free days. She didn't bother to say goodbye when she heard Quinn leave, only mumbling somewhat coherent words as she drifted off into a blissful few hours.
