CHAPTER 7

The next few days passed more smoothly. Santana didn't talk to Quinn, and Quinn didn't try to change that, nor make more attacks on Brittany.

Over this time, Santana and Brittany's friendship grew dramatically. After a short period of time, they acted like close friends who had known each other for years, rather than a mere week.

"Do you wanna come over tomorrow?" Brittany asked Santana. "I mean, it'll be Friday so there won't be school the day after and we could just chill out and watch movies and stuff."

"Yeah," Santana responded. "That sounds great!"

"Awesome! It's a date!" Brittany said jokingly, yet the words still made Santana's heart flutter.

The next day at Brittany's house, the first order of action was to introduce Santana to Lord Tubbington, her overweight cat.

"This is Lord Tubbington," Brittany said quietly, gesturing towards her sleeping cat.

"Awww. He's really cute." Santana said. "He looks tired which I guess is sort of weird because he's asleep."

"That's because he hangs out with his gang on Friday's. They probably made him smoke again which is annoying because I just got him out of that habit by teaching him how to do housework," Brittany said seriously.

Unsure whether Brittany was joking or not, Santana just nodded and went with it.

Leading Santana towards her Disney movie collection, Brittany asked Santana what her favourite Disney movie was.

"Umm… Well, I've never really watched Disney before," Santana confessed.

"What!" Brittany exclaimed, genuinely shocked.

"I'm more of a Marvel person," Santana justified.

"So, you haven't seen any Disney movies?" Brittany asked.

In response, Santana shook her head.

"Well soon, you'll love Disney because tonight we're going to watch all the best ones." Brittany said excitedly.

"Okay," Santana said, happy to watch anything as long as it pleased Brittany. "Which is your favourite one?" Santana asked, trying to keep the conversation that Brittany was so passionate about going.

"It changes quite often," Brittany started, "but currently it's Frozen 2. It's about these two sisters, and one of them has ice powers. There's also this guy that has a cool reindeer. The best character by far though is this funny snowman called Olaf. We'll watch Frozen first! And the songs are really great so we can sing along and dance to them!"

Santana smiled at how eager Brittany was for this and said, "That would be amazing."

"Make yourself comfortable, I'll just get some popcorn and set the movie up." Brittany said. At the mention of popcorn, Lord Tubbington woke up and made his way towards Brittany slowly, growling as he passed Santana.

"I'm not sure he likes me," Santana commented due to Lord Tubbington's response to her presence, a bit disappointed.

"He's always like this when he wakes up. And don't worry, usually he doesn't acknowledge new people. The fact that he did means that he did like you. Wait 'til I make the popcorn because then you can give him some and he'll love you even more." Brittany said, trying to cheer Santana up again.

Santana liked the idea but didn't want to make Brittany's cat sick so asked, "Will Lord Tubbington be okay if I feed him popcorn?"

"Lord Tubbington has Atkins so he can eat human food," Brittany explained before going and making the popcorn.

"You were right. That was good." Santana said after they finished Frozen. "I understand why you like Olaf but I think my favourite is Elsa."

"I thought you might say that," Brittany said, "especially after you made me rewind so that you could perform 'Let It Go' for me while copying the dance," she said with a giggle.

"What?" Santana asked teasingly. "I wasn't that terrible was I?"

"No!" Brittany said quickly. "You were incredible! I'd never actually heard you sing before and you're amazing. I'd say you're better than Rachel."

"Thanks Britt," Santana said, taking the compliment. "And I'll be sure not to tell Berry you said that so she won't rant at you and then sing a million solos to try and change your mind."

"I'd appreciate that," Brittany said snuggling closer to Santana on the couch, causing Santana's heartrate to speed up significantly. "But nothing will change my mind." If Santana's heartrate was fast before, now it was off the charts.

"Just wait for number 2!" Brittany exclaimed. "It has this really adorable chameleon called Bruni that's similar to Pascal in Tangled."

"I've never watched Tangled," Santana said.

"Right. Well that's what we're watching next!" Brittany stated.

When it got past 11pm and Santana and Brittany had successfully watched both the Frozen movies, Tangled, The Little Mermaid, Brave and Moana, and had re-enacted far too many songs for Lord Tubbington's liking, Santana yawned loudly, and not for the first time that night.

"Sorry," she apologised quickly.

"Don't worry," Brittany replied. "It's been a big week and it's pretty late. Do you wanna go to bed?"

"Probably. Otherwise I'll be really grumpy tomorrow."

"I'm sure you won't be too bad." Brittany said, "it's impossible to be worse than Lord Tubbington anyway."

"Is that a challenge?" Santana asked, wiggling her eyebrows playfully and getting Brittany to laugh for probably the 100th time that night.

"Do you have a blanket I could use to throw over the couch? I get cold quite easily." Santana asked.

"You don't have to sleep on the coach!" Brittany remarked. "I'd be a terrible host if I made you do that!"

"Well I'm not letting you sleep on the couch," Santana said.

"Don't be silly, we can both sleep in the bed. It's big enough for both of us. And then you'll have me to keep you warm." Brittany said. At this comment, Santana's cheeks turned a bright pink which was rare given she was Latino. Just the thought of being in bed with Brittany brought on chills, and she didn't know how she would react if it actually happened, but she was keen to find out.

Brittany, not sure what to take from Santana's response, said, "If you don't want to because of how Finn might think of it or something then I'll turn the coach into a sofa bed and you could sleep there if you'd prefer."

Santana hadn't even thought of what Finn would think of her and Brittany in the same bed. She was so focused on Brittany that she hadn't thought of Finn at all since she'd arrived at Brittany's house.

"Oh, no, I think it would be fine." Santana responded.

"Are you sure?" Brittany asked. "I don't want to make you uncomfortable or ruin our friendship or your relationship with Finn."

Santana wasn't really sure how Finn would react, but she trusted her deception skills and figured she'd be able to make up a good enough excuse so he wouldn't worry. "Yeah, I'm sure." Santana said.

"Then let's go!" Brittany said, grabbing Santana's hand and pulling her into the bedroom.

Brittany didn't take long to fall asleep, but Santana's mind was too busy to sleep right away, even though she was tired. It was too full of thoughts about Brittany and Finn and Quinn and everything else that had happened in the past week.

Brittany rolling over and putting her leg on top of Santana's didn't help either, even though Santana enjoyed the contact. Eventually, Santana calmed down by focusing on Brittany's consistent breathing, and fell asleep to the thought that she wouldn't mind sleeping in the same bed as Brittany more often.
