(Past)
'' Move your lazy asses! Even my grandmother can climb up the pyramid faster than you can!'' Sue yells through her megaphone, Brittany shakes her head watching her girlfriend, sister, Naya and Quinn quicken their paces and frowns as she sees them all fight against the bursts of wind hitting them every few seconds.
'' What are you frowning about B?'' Puck asks as he walks up to his best friend, Brittany nods her head to the cheerleaders on the other side of the field behind the fence Sue always sets up so they won't interrupt them and sighs.
'' It's windy as fuck and Sue let's them form a pyramid, why the hell can't that bitch give them a break and let them dance or something?''
Puck shrugs his shoulder and reaches out squeezing her hand. '' Because it's Sue, you okay?''
Brittany rolls her eyes and sighs. '' Yeah just can't wait for training to be over, you don't even want to know how much it sucks that San is ignoring me.'' She turns to look at him and shrugs. '' I know it was wrong of us to fight those dudes, but why does she think that I will sit still whenever someone insults my girlfriend?''
'' I think she was more afraid that they would hurt you more B, I can only imagine how she feels the second she saw big douche fist hit you in your abdomen.'' Puck glances at the girls and sighs as he sees the frown on Santana's face. '' You know that I will always jump into a fight fist first whenever someone hurts any of you, but I can understand San too.''
'' I do too but still, instead of talking she ignores me. I fucking hate that.'' Brittany grumbles softly.
'' I know you do and I know I said it before, but give her some time San loves to think about everything.''
'' Alright team break's over, hit the field!'' Beiste yells blowing her whistle, Brittany jumps up putting her helmet on and turns to Puck nodding her head.
'' I know, thanks Puck.''
Puck reaches out patting her back hard as they run out onto the field after their drink break and jogs over to Sam. '' Think he is ready?'' He asks Sam mentioning his head to the new defender joining their team, Sam turns to him and nods his head.
'' Yeah I think so.''
Puck nods his head and looks at his team smirking as he catches the ball Mike throws to him. '' Pierce!'' He winks as she turns to look at her and crouches down. '' Flexbone!''
Brittany nods her head crouching down on her position waiting for Beiste's whistle and glances over her shoulder at the cheerleaders, she takes off in a sprint as soon as she hears Beiste's whistle and chuckles lowly as the newbie tries to tackle her.
She easily turns out of his way and jumps over Mike's arms as he tries to pull her down, she runs into the end zone throwing the ball on the ground.
'' Nice one Pierce!'' Beiste yells smiling brightly, Brittany salutes her picking the ball back up and throws it back to Puck. She sprints back to her position and turns to the newbie smiling slightly.
'' You are getting quicker and faster in trying to tackle me just try to tackle the upper body, when you go for the legs someone can easily jump over you or just dodge you.''
Ryder nods his head and smiles. '' I will, thanks Pierce.''
'' Any time Lynn.'' She turns to Puck and smiles. '' Shotgun?''
Puck nods his head and chuckles as she immediately sprints over to him, Brittany watches Sam take her position and laughs as she sees Beiste's confused tilt of the head. '' Beiste doesn't know this formation yet right?''
Puck shakes his head crouching down and chuckles. '' Nope.''
Brittany laughs and crouches down behind him, she glances over at the cheerleaders biting her lip as she sees her girlfriend climb up on the pyramid to finish the formation and turns back to Puck. '' Ready.'' She murmurs trying to keep the concern out of her voice, she stands up as Mike snaps the ball to Puck and sprints past him taking the ball with her.
She chuckles twirling past Ryder as he tries to tackle her knowing the others are a bit shocked and sprints towards the end zone.
'' Fuck, no!'' She skids to a stop as she hears her girlfriends yelp and turns on her heels slamming her hand down on the field as she slips, her eyes widen as she sees the pyramid sway badly and quickly let's go off the ball sprinting towards the fence as she hears the other cheerleaders all call Santana's name.
She sprints past Puck taking off her helmet and throws it against the fence as she jumps up, she easily pulls herself over the fence landing on both feet and crosses the short distance towards the pyramid as she sees one of the cheerleaders lose her grip on Santana.
She speeds up as she sees her falling backwards and drops to her knees sliding towards her, she softly breaths out a sigh in relief as she catches her before she hits the ground and bites back a pained groan as she feels her pads dig into her ribs and her girlfriends fingernails dig into the back of her neck.
She wraps her arms tightly around her girlfriend as she feels her tremble in her arms and kisses the top of her head. '' Are you okay?''
Santana buries her face in her girlfriends neck releasing a shuddering breath and shrugs.
'' Beiste get your damn football player off of my field!'' Sue yells turning to the football coach, Santana pulls back as she feels her girlfriend tense and cups her cheek pulling her face so she is facing her.
'' Don't, please.''
Brittany softly grumbles nodding her head and slowly stands up still keeping a hold on her, she pulls back and glances down at Santana's body frowning in concern. '' Did you get hurt?''
Santana shakes her head and turns to their friends as they all run over to them.
'' Are you okay Hermana?'' Naya asks in concern, Santana nods her head cuddling into her girlfriends side and bites her lip.
'' Yeah I am, Britt caught me before I could hit the ground.''
'' Mh we saw, damn nice job superman.'' Naya says turning to the blonde, Puck pats Brittany's back and snickers.
'' Yeah that dive was awesome B, how the fuck can you move so quick while still wearing almost your whole uniform?''
Brittany glances down at her girlfriend and bites her lip shrugging. '' You forget the extra weight when the girl you love is in danger.''
'' Beiste I won't warn you again, get them off my field and away from my team before I go to Figgins.'' Sue yells through her microphone. '' God damn football players always interrupting my fucking training!''
'' Shut up Sylvester! I crossed the field to save one of your cheerleaders and my girlfriend from injuring herself!'' Brittany yells turning her head to glare at her, Beiste clears her throat as she sees the rage in her wide receivers eyes and walks over to her patting her shoulder.
'' Stop Pierce don't get yourself expelled.'' She looks at both teams and nods her head to the school. '' Both training are over, go change and go home enjoy your weekend.''
Brittany nods her head thanking her softly and turns on her heels, she wraps an arm around her girlfriends shoulders and leads her into the school.
'' Meet out here after changing?'' Mike asks looking at his friends as the rest of their teams continue their journey to the changing rooms, Santana shakes her head before her girlfriend can reply and sighs.
'' Nah we can meet up on Sunday like usual, but Britt and I have something planned.'' She turns to her girlfriend and smiles lovingly. '' Let's change babe.''
Brittany nods her head following her girlfriend into the changing room after they said goodbye to their friends and sits down, Santana walks over frowning as she sees her grimace in pain and crouches down in front of her. '' What's wrong babe?''
Brittany takes off her jersey wincing in pain as she feels the pads dig into her skin and bites her lip, Santana stands up as she sees the discomfort she is in and helps her take off the pads. She glances down at her girlfriends body and gasps softly as she sees the bruises right under her ribs, she crouches back down and ghosts her fingers over it. '' Did I do that?'' She asks softly in shock.
'' Fuck sis, that looks really painful.'' Heather gasps out Quinn and Naya nodding their heads in agreement, Brittany shrugs her shoulders slowly standing up and grabs her shirt slipping it on.
'' I will live, if these bruises mean that San is okay I will gladly get them all over again.'' She looks down at her girlfriend holding out her hand to help her stand up and smiles reassuringly. '' I will be okay babe.''
Santana bites her lip and frowns. '' Can you drive like this?''
Brittany shakes her head and smiles sheepishly. '' Nope I don't think I can, but.'' She reaches into the back pocket of the pants she wears and holds up the keys to Puck's truck. '' Puck and I swapped vehicles.''
'' When?'' Quinn asks confused.
'' He gave me the keys when we walked into the school and grabbed mine out of my bag, I think he knew that I was hurting don't ask me how he knows though cause I don't know.'' Brittany murmurs shrugging.
'' The two of you have a creepy twin like bond going on B.'' Naya says laughing, Santana snickers and looks up at her girlfriend.
'' Want to shower at home?''
Brittany nods her head and bites her lip. '' Yeah the small shower stalls here won't help the pain and I really need a painkiller right now.''
Santana nods her head grabbing their bags and turns to their sisters and best friend. '' I will shower at home too, see you tonight?'' She asks their sisters, she turns to Quinn and smiles slightly. '' See you Sunday?''
Brittany smiles saying goodbye to their sisters and Quinn as her girlfriend pulls her out of the room as soon as they nodded their heads and follows her down the hallway, Santana reaches out taking the keys to Puck's truck out of the back pocket of Brittany's jeans and unlocks it for them.
She opens the passenger door and leans up on her tiptoes pecking her on the lips. '' I will drive.''
Brittany nods her head sliding into the passenger seat and leans back groaning softly, she turns her head glancing at Santana as she climbs into the drivers seat and smiles lovingly as she drives off as soon as she adjusted the seat.
After a ten minute drive Brittany slides out of the car as soon as her girlfriend parked it in the drive way and runs a hand through her hair groaning softly at the slight burn of her ribs, she follows her girlfriend into the Lopez house and walks upstairs knowing their parents are still at work.
Santana slips past her girlfriend into the bathroom and turns the shower on, she slips out of her uniform and looks over her shoulder as she hears her girlfriend walk into the bathroom. '' Join me?'' She asks smiling slightly, she walks over to her as soon as she nods her head and helps her take off her shirt.
She gulps watching the dark bruises covering her girlfriends abdomen and slowly runs her over them, she looks up at her girlfriend after pushing her jeans over her hips and bites her lip. '' Fuck babe.''
'' I will be okay, as soon as the painkillers work.''
'' They look painful as fuck.'' Santana murmurs sadly as they step under the shower stream, Brittany shrugs her shoulders and sighs softly as she feels her muscles relax as soon as she feels the hot water cascade down her back.
'' Babe I really don't care about any of these.'' She says softly mentioning towards the bruises, she reaches out cupping Santana's cheek and smiles lovingly. '' I am just glad that you are okay.''
'' But…''
Brittany shakes her head and pulls Santana closer. '' Babe I can live with bruises and a bit of pain as long as I know that you are okay, I don't even want to know what could've happened if I didn't reach you on time.''
Santana sighs softly slowly running her soapy hands down her girlfriends body and taps her side. '' Turn around babe.'' She reaches for the shampoo reaching up to wash her girlfriends hair and hums softly. '' I still don't like to see you hurt though and knowing that I am the cause of it makes it even worse.''
Brittany sighs softly turning the water off as soon as they both finished and steps out of the shower, she slips on the bathrobe Maribel bought her and holds her girlfriends open rubbing her arms as soon as she slipped it on.
She turns her in her arms and leans down kissing her softly. '' Babe I will gladly endure all bruises and pain if it means that you are okay, this.'' She mentions her hand down her body. '' Is so worth it because I know that you didn't get hurt.''
'' How can you still be so lovely and sweet, when I was a bitch to you?'' Santana asks biting her lip, Brittany sighs crawling into Santana's bed and pats the spot beside her. She pulls her girlfriend into her arms and kisses the top of her head.
'' Because having fights is normal babe and they won't make me love you any less, just please even if we fight don't let us go to bed angry or leave without saying that we love each other.'' She cups Santana's cheek and pulls her head up locking eyes with her. '' Watching you fall of the pyramid scared the fuck out of me babe and the way we left things yesterday also hurt me a bit, I can understand why you got mad and I will try to fight less but please never leave without saying a thing again.''
Santana nods her head and bites her lip. '' I'm sorry that I left so suddenly yesterday, I will try to talk more about what is bothering me and won't leave without saying I love you ever again. I know that you protected me yesterday but watching someone hit you also hurts me Britt-Britt, I love you too and knowing that you got hurt also hurts me.''
'' I will be okay though.'' Brittany murmurs softly, she covers her mouth as she yawns and sighs softly. '' Sorry.''
'' Didn't sleep either?'' Santana asks softly, Brittany shakes her head and sighs.
'' Didn't sleep at all.''
'' Me neither please let us try to be not so stubborn, I hate fighting with you.''
'' I hate fighting with you too San.'' Brittany mumbles tiredly, Santana smiles slightly sliding up the bed and pulls her girlfriend in her arms kissing the top of her head as she nuzzles her face in her chest.
'' Sleep mi amor.''
Brittany hums softly sliding her hand up Santana's body and covers her heart with her hand. '' Mh are we okay?''
'' We are, I love you Britt-Britt.''
'' Lub u too.'' Brittany breaths out on the verge of sleeping, Santana smiles lovingly and runs her fingers through blonde locks kissing the top of Brittany's head again as she drifts off to sleep.
She reaches for her phone on the nightstand and opens the Whatsapp chat with their parents quickly typing out a message.
Hey folks, I am sure Nay and Heath already told you all what happened, Britt is okay a bit bruised but okay. We both didn't sleep much so we will take a nap and join you for dinner at the Pierce house later. Love you.
She places her phone down after setting an alarm and cuddles closer to her girlfriend smiling lovingly as she grumbles in her sleep, she rubs her back under the bathrobe she wears and sighs contently cuddling closer to her.
Hey you all, I don't know if I can upload again before tomorrow so I want to wish you all a happy new year beforehand, I hope next year will be better for all of us and I hope you all will stay healthy!
