February 14th Brittany woke up excited. She turned to look at the sleeping form of her girlfriend lying next to her and her heart pounded faster in her chest. This was her fist Valentine's Day with Santana as an official couple. She looked so beautiful laying there that Brittany couldn't help herself; she started peppering kisses on the brunette's neck.
Santana smiled and rolled over to face blue eyes. "Hey you."
Brittany returned the smile. "Hi."
"You seem awfully excited for," Santana checked the bedside clock. "6:30 in the morning."
Brittany bit her lip. "I just think it's going to be a good day."
Santana nodded slowly. "Okay, well, I'm going to get in the shower." she started toward her dressed but Brittany darted in front of it.
"Let me pick out what you wear!"
Santana looked puzzled. "Alright..."
Brittany came back with a tight red dress. Santana took it and spoke. "I approve, Britts. Just don't know why you're so eager for me to wear red today."
The blond searched for words but Santana had already gotten into the bathroom. When the brunette was done with her shower she found her girlfriend in the kitchen. "Hey, you're wearing red too! Did you want us to match? Because, babe, we're fucking adorable but I don't want us to be like Berry and Hudson. They showed up yesterday and you could totally tell they collaborated for their outfits that morning." she glanced down and took in her girlfriend's outfit. "I like your heart knee socks, by the way."
Brittany stood there, mouth agape, and threw the waffle in her hand on the plate in front of her. "Don't you know what today is?" she spluttered.
Santana took a step back and surveyed her girlfriend. "Friday? What's going on with you?"
Brittany's face fell. "Nothing. Nothing at all. I'll be in the car."
All day Brittany was upset. How could Santana forget it's Valentine's Day? Especially their first? By the end of the day when she met said girl at the brunette's locker, her mood hadn't lifted at all.
"I have to go do something for math before I forget. I'll meet you at your locker when I'm done." Santana told Brittany as she kissed her cheek.
"Why don't we just meet here?" she called but Santana didn't seem to hear her and she watched as her girlfriend's back disappeared down the hallway. She sighed and made her way to her locker, where she would wait patiently for her forgetful girlfriend. The first thing she noticed is what looked like a small red carpet coming from her locker and leading down a hallway. Confused, she opened her locker and found a single red rose. Curiosity filling her, she followed the carpet and found herself in the choir room. The carpet led straight to a lone chair with a bouquet of roses and a stuffed penguin sitting in it. She picked up the card in the roses and read in handwriting that looked mysteriously like Santana's, "These belong to Brittany S. Pierce. Anyone else touches them and they will get cut." she squealed and hugged the penguin to her chest. Upon closer inspection of the room, she noticed there was eleven microphone stands but no one was around. She plopped down in the chair that previously held her fits and that's when Puck, Mike, Blaine, Sam, Kurt, and Finn came in followed by Tina, Mercedes, Rachel, Quinn, and finally Santana. Everyone got behind a microphone with Santana front and center.
Brittany crinkled her nose. "What is this? What's going on? Did someone forget to tell me there was a meeting today?"
Santana stood in front of her and grabbed both of her hands. "I bet you thought I forgot Valentine's Day, didn't you?" Brittany nodded. "Well, I didn't. I had everyone help me plan this for you. I love you, Brittany." she took her place behind her microphone stand and the music started playing
I'm feeling sexy and free
Like glitter's raining on me
You're like a shot of pure gold
I think I'm 'bout to explode
I can taste the tension like a cloud of smoke in the air
Now I'm breathing like I'm running cause you're taking me there
Don't you know...you spin me out of control
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
We can do this all night
Damn this love's skin tight
Baby come on
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Pull me like a bass drum
Sparkin' up a rhythm
Baby, come on!
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Rock my world into the sunlight
Make this dream the best I've ever known
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino
Every second is a highlight
When we touch don't ever let me go
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino
You got me losing my mind
My heart beats out of time
I'm seeing Hollywood stars
You strum me like a guitar
I can taste the tension like a cloud of smoke in the air
Now I'm breathing like I'm running cause you're taking me there
Don't you know...you spin me out of control
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
We can do this all night
Damn this love's skin tight
Baby come on
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Pull me like a bass drum
Sparkin' up a rhythm
Baby, come on!
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Rock my world into the sunlight
Make this dream the best I've ever known
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino
Every second is a highlight
When we touch don't ever let me go
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino
Ooh baby baby got me feeling so right
Ooh baby baby dancing in the moonlight
Ooh baby baby got me feeling so right
Ooh baby baby dancing in the moonlight
Ooh baby baby got me feeling so right
Ooh baby baby dancing in the moonlight
Ooh baby baby got me feeling so right
Rock my world into the sunlight
Make this dream the best I've ever known
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino
Every second is a highlight
When we touch don't ever let me go
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino
The performance was complete with the New Directions singing backup and doing couples choreography while Santana danced on and around Brittany.
At the end Brittany jumped up. "San, that was so good!"
"Would you sit down? I'm not finished yet." she said with a wink.
Finn grabbed a stool and placed it in front of Brittany. Santana took a seat while the rest of the glee club put up their microphones and migrated to the back of the room. "This is just for us." brown eyes found blue and she began singing.
I've been beaten down, I've been kicked around,
But she takes it all for me.
And I lost my faith, in my darkest days,
But she makes me want to believe.
They call her love, love, love, love, love.
They call her love, love, love, love, love.
She is love, and she is all I need.
She's all I need.
Well I had my ways, they were all in vain,
But she waited patiently.
It was all the same, all my pride and shame,
And she put me on my feet.
They call her love, love, love, love, love.
They call her love, love, love, love, love.
They call her love, love, love, love, love.
She is love, and she is all I need.
And when that world slows down, dear.
And when those stars burn out, here.
Oh she'll be here, yes she'll be here,
They call her love, love, love, love, love.
They call her love, love, love, love, love.
They call her love, love, love, love. love.
She is love, and she is all I need,
She is love, and she is all I need,
She is love, and she is all I need
By the end of the song all the girls had tears in their eyes and all of the couples were holding each other in way or another.
Brittany wrapped Santana in a tight hug and Santana rested her head on the taller girl's shoulder. "I love you so much. I can't believe you did all of this for me." they kissed tenderly and Brittany turned to face their friends. "Thank you all very much. This was so nice."
Rachel rounded on Finn. "How come you didn't do something like this for me?"
"Actually, I had a very nice evening planned for us but you made me tell you and ruin the surprise."
"I did not—"
Finn cut her off. "You know, maybe we shouldn't do this in front of everyone. It's kind of ruining the moment."
"Maybe we shouldn't." Rachel stormed out of the choir room.
"Shit." Finn muttered and followed her.
"Looks like we're all paired up this Valentine's Day." Tina stated, trying to diffuse the tension.
"Except for Sam and Mercedes." Puck countered.
"Actually," Sam said, "Mercedes and I have kind of been dating." he locked their fingers together.
Puck's eye grew. "Dude! Why didn't you tell me?"
Sam shrugged. "You've seen how unstable relationships can get in here."
Everyone looked around at each other and thought about the weird combinations they'd all been in.
"You were right, Tina. Everyone really is paired up." Quinn told her.
"Well," Mike said, "we better get going." Tina waved goodbye as she let Mike lead her out of the room.
"What are you guys doing tonight?" Mercedes asked Puck and Quinn.
"Oh, I've got plans." Quinn answered.
Puck stepped toward Sam. "She won't even tell me what we're doing. I'm kind of freaked out and turned on at the same time."
Sam laughed and Quinn smiled mischievously before leaving the room with Puck at her side.
"We'd better go too." Sam said. "First Valentine's Day together and all."
"Hey! Us too!" Brittany told him excitedly. "We're like twins!"
Santana smiled. "Come on, Britt-Britt. Let's go home."
"Okay!" Brittany replied as she linked her pinky with Santana's.
When they got back to their shared apartment, Santana ran a hot bubble bath complete with candles and music for Brittany. "When you're done I want you to get dressed up, okay?" Brittany nodded and Santana left and closed the door behind her.
She headed straight for the kitchen to start cooking dinner. She had no idea how long Brittany would stay in the tub or take getting ready; she just hoped it was long enough for her to cook and get herself ready.
God bless Quinn for getting all the ingredients together and chopped and ready to cook the night before. It gave Santana extra time to primp.
Quickly assembling the lasagna, she stuck it in the oven, set the timer, and ran to her room. The dress Brittany picked out for her earlier was actually the dress she planned on wearing that night. She had to admit her girl knew her well. She traded the boots on her feet for a pair of strappy heels. After curling her hair she ran back to the kitchen to check the timer and put the garlic bread in the oven. Back in her room, she was putting the finishing touches on her make up when Brittany came out of the bathroom all done up. Santana's breath hitched in her throat and all she could do was stare at Brittany.
The blond cocked her head to the side. "What?" she asked, nervously fumbling with her fingers.
Santana swallowed hard. "You...you're just gorgeous."
Brittany looked down and smiled, her cheeks now red. "Thanks, San." she looked up and fully took in the site that was Santana. "Wow. You look amazing too."
Santana waved a hand at her. "You know how I do." she joked.
Brittany giggled. "Hey, what smells so good?"
"That, my love, would be dinner. May I escort you?" she offered Brittany her arm.
"Of course." Brittany answered as she took the brunette's arm.
Brittany went to pull out her chair but Santana beat her to it. "Let me get that." Brittany took a seat and Santana pushed the chair in for her.
After the meal Brittany had her chin on her hand and was gazing at Santana.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"This was all so amazing, San-"
"Oh no, it's not over yet. Wait right here." Santana stalked off and returned with a small box. "I, uh, got this for you for Christmas but then we had our fight and your accident and I never could think of the right moment to give it to you. It reminds me of our first official date."
Brittany opened the box and gasped. Inside was a sparkling silver bracelet with a penguin pendant. "Oh, S! It's beautiful!" Brittany smiled and admired the bracelet as Santana put it on her. She put her arm down and frowned.
"What's wrong, B?"
A tear fell from blue eyes. "You did so much for me today. I spent most of the day being mad at you because I thought you forgot Valentine's Day and plus I only got you this." she handed her a bag.
Santana pulled out a picture frame with strips of those pictures you get from photo booths at the mall and a mixed CD. She hugged Brittany. "This is more than enough. It's perfect. I have you and that's the best present I could ask for, okay?" she thumbed the tears from the blond's cheeks and kissed her where the tears had been seconds before.
"I just thought the day we took these pictures was a really good day. One of my favorite days, actually. I especially like the pictures where we're kissing. And the CD has all our songs on it. Even the ones we sang to each other in glee club."
Santana looked at Brittany adoringly. "I love you so much, Brittany S. Pierce." She kissed Brittany and could feel the blue eyed girl smiling into the kiss, which only made her smile.
Brittany pulled back. "I'm guessing you have more planned?"
Santana grinned. "I was thinking I could give you a massage while we watch a movie."
"That sounds awesome. Can I pick?"
"Of course, Britts."
Brittany found the movie she wanted right away. "The Lion King."
Santana cocked an eyebrow. "Uh…I was thinking more along the lines of The Notebook or some other romantic shit."
Brittany's mouth fell open. "What are you talking about? This is romantic. They were best friends when they were young and then Simba goes away but they find each other again and fall in love and make cute lion babies!" she explained frantically.
"Okay, okay, we'll watch the Lion King."
During the movie Santana's mind started to wander to other things. It wasn't her fault, really. She's not into lions or anything weird like that. It's just that Brittany's shirt is pulled up and her bare back is showing and she's rubbing it. Brittany was enjoying Hakuna Matata when she felt lips on her neck. She closed her eyes and hummed in pleasure. Santana took that as permission to go further and nibbled at her neck. Brittany flipped over underneath Santana's lean body and pressed their lips together. Santana could feel Brittany yearning for more. She deepened the kiss, pressing her knee between Brittany's legs, and reached to take off her shirt. Suddenly Brittany separated herself from Santana and sat on the edge of the bed.
Santana sighed and sat down next to her. "What's wrong? Why won't you let me touch you?"
Brittany covered her face. "Oh my god. I'm crying again."
"It's okay. Just tell me what's going on." Santana said as she moved Brittany's hands.
Brittany took a deep breath. "I'm fat and ugly. I'm gross. I don't want you to see me like this."
"What? You're not fat, you're pregnant, and quite frankly, you always look radiant." She kneeled on the floor in front of the blond and lifted her shirt to expose her baby bump. Santana placed soft kisses on it and looked up at her girlfriend. "You're beautiful, Brittany. The most beautiful girl I've ever seen."
Brittany pulled her into an intense kiss and didn't fight it when Santana started removing her clothes.
