I don't think I've ever seen Quinn smile this widely, but I'm sure that I'm currently sporting a matching grin. She gives me a small peck on my lips before asking, "So are we really doing this, San?"

"We both know that this was a long time coming, so I don't want to waste anymore time. Now it's you and me till the end, Q."

"I love the sound of that. Of us."

Quinn POV

After our small declarations of love, San and I started walking back to my dorm hand in hand. Neither of us are really saying anything, and I think it's because we're both still processing everything that has happened tonight. I still cannot believe that I actually told Santana that I love her; I previously hadn't even admitted that to myself but in that moment it was so clear to me. For years, she has been my best friend but over the course over these last few months my feelings have been becoming stronger and stronger and I think she feels the same way. I know she does. Damn, I can't believe that I'm finally getting my happy ending.

I get snapped out of my thoughts when Santana slowly lifts our intertwined hands to her mouth and softly presses a kiss against the back of my hand. It's only a small gesture, but it makes my heart flutter. She says, "Best. First. Date. Ever."

I nod my head in agreement and say, "Absolutely. Thanks for everything, San."

San gives me a small smile and says, "You're welcome, Q-Ball."

"And I don't mean that just for tonight, but also for putting up with all my crazy. I know that I tend to overreact whenever Brittany is involved, but I'm over it now. So do you really want me to come with you tomorrow? Because you can go alone if you want; you know I trust you."

Santana softly shrugs her shoulders and says, "Honestly, it's up to you, Q. Not gonna lie, I'd like for you to come but I understand if you're not ready to face the music yet."

"I think I'll stay here. If I'd come with you, I would only be able to stay for one night anyway since I have my classes. Besides, I think it's best if I don't get involved in Brittany's current situation because I don't think that it would help either of us."

"Okay, then I'll go tomorrow and I'll keep you posted if you want."

"Perfect."

Santana POV

Quinn and I have just gotten back to her dorm after our first date, and neither of us is sure about what to do next. I can tell that neither of us is ready to have sex or do something else, but that doesn't mean that this is where the night has to stop. I ask, "Hey Q, do you want go outside and look at the stars?"

"That sounds so cheesy, San."

I playfully slap her arm, and say, "Don't be a smartass, Q. You know what I meant; let's go stargazing just like old times."

Quinn turns around to face me and smiles, "I'd love that. Let me just get changed in something a bit more comfortable 'cause you were right, these heels were not made for walking."

I smirk, "Told you so."

Quinn roles her eyes at my reaction and then proceeds to get changed into her sweats.

Getting ready to go stargazing with Q brings back so many amazing memories; I don't know exactly when we started doing it but I think it was the summer before we started high school. We spent so many nights in my backyard, just the two of us. We would both lie down on a blanket while gazing at the stars and talking about anything and everything. It was great because I didn't feel the need to keep up my walls and I could just be myself without any fear of judgement. It was during one of our stargaze sessions that I blurted out that I'm gay; it was the first time I had said it out loud and I was so relieved when all Quinn did was hug me and told me that this didn't have to change anything. We have been a lot closer ever since and I am so happy that she was the first person I told.

Every summer Brittany visits her relatives, which is why she wasn't there when we started having weekly stargazing sessions and when she came back neither Q nor I felt the need to invite her. Just like the fact that I only link pinkies with Brittany, stargazing is something that I only do with Quinn. As we both got older, the stargazing sessions became less and less frequent but I have missed them quite a lot; so I'm really happy that we're doing it again tonight.

I get snapped out of my thoughts when Quinn snaps her fingers in front of my face. "Hey San, quit daydreaming and get your ass ready while I go grab us a blanket, okay?"

I give Quinn a cheeky smile because she did just totally catch me lost in my own little world, and I walk over to the other side of the dorm where I had put my overnight bag earlier today. Thankfully I didn't forget to pack my favorite pair of sweats and I quickly get changed in them. The only thing that I still need to do is put my hair in a messy bun and then I'm ready to go.

Quinn and I head out to the local park, which is only ten minutes from her dorm and I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty excited to end our night like this. It feels so familiar yet it's so different this time because we're not only older but our relationship has also changed.

We are walking in a comfortable silence and I have one arm wrapped around her shoulders and one around the blanket. Once we get there, I spread out the blanket and immediately lie down while patting the spot next to me for Q. She gives me a small smile before laying down as well.

At first neither of us is really saying anything and I can feel our hands brushing next to each other, which is making my tummy do backflips. This is ridiculous because I don't get nervous easily, especially not around my best friends, but this is making me giddy and I kind of like it. Without saying a word, I reach out my hand a bit further and intertwine our fingers. I tilt my head to the right to see Quinn's reaction and I notice that her grin is matching mine. She sighs happily, "Thanks for making tonight so special, San. I'm really happy right now."

I roll onto my side and use my free hand to softly graze her cheeks. Then I look into Quinn's beautiful hazel eyes and whisper against her lips, "I'm really happy too" and then I slowly close the gap by connecting our lips into a sweet kiss.

Tomorrow I'll have to face Brittany and deal with all the craziness; but tonight it's just me, Quinn and stars and there's no place I'd rather be right now.

A/N: Sorry for taking a while to update but not only am I currently in my exam period, I also found a cool project that I participated in. Basically I came across the Florence and the machine book club and they asked fans to send in some creative writing based on some of her songs; I've sent in six entries and since I like to share bits and pieces about my life and who I am, I decided to share the piece I wrote about the song 'Only if for a night'; here it is:

Blinded by the darkness,

I cried out for help.

.

The moon witnessed my scars,

The sun saw my broken smile.

.

My body was set ablaze,

And my soul was hurting.

.

In my darkest hour,

I became fearful of the night.

.

But you came through the darkness

Just to show me the light.

.

You kissed my scars and healed my soul,

And taught me how to see in the dark.

.

You're my hero. You're my savior.

And I'll love you forever.

A/N 2: Btw, also a big thank you to awesome1 and the two guests who left a review on the last chapter; Awesome1, school is going pretty well right now; I got accepted in a college in the US, which I'll start attending in august and I'm super excited.
