castlewalls7: I actually start to write Brittany going nutbush crazy as you say lol on Rachel and Quinn but it would have been a lot of explaining to do and I don't think Brittany or Santana wants Brittany secret to be revealed just yet. She probably will go nutbush crazy on Rachel eventually.
the3rdhorseman: Brittany flirting was completely innocent and she was just trying to pay Quinn a compliment. She hasn't had a lot human contact so she was just trying to be charming and didn't mean anything by it. Quinn on the other hand was just trying to get a reaction out of Santana. Quitt friendship only in this story I promise.
Thanks for the reviews and here is a new chapter so Enjoy!
I do not own Glee
"mmm taste so good." Brittany says while licking her fingers clean.
"You know for someone who has never done this before you're really good at it." Santana says.
"I'm a quick learner especially when I have such an amazing teacher." Brittany says while dipping her finger back in to taste more.
"Oh god Britt if you don't stop we won't have anymore cookie dough left. Besides they say eating raw cookie dough isn't good for you." Santana grabs the bowl of chocolate chip cookie dough away from the blonde.
"But it's so good." Brittany pouts hoping Santana would give in.
"No don't give me that face. Here you can eat some of the left over chocolate chips." Santana slides the bag over to the blonde.
Santana was currently showing Brittany how to make chocolate chip cookies. All afternoon they had been getting better acquainted even though Brittany was still reluctant to completely open up. Santana managed to get some things out of the blonde and was surprised at what she found out.
From what she gathered Brittany must have had a sheltered childhood because the blonde had never eaten junk food or sweets, never played video games, and only watched the news on TV. When Santana had asked why she simply just said "it wasn't allowed" and left it at that. So Santana took it upon herself to show the blonde what she'd been missing.
SANTANA POV
"Okay let's pop these babies in the oven and we can watch some TV until it gets done." I turn to place the cookies in the oven then go over to the Brittany and lead her into the living room. We sit down on the couch and I turn the channels until I find Spongebob Squarepants. Brittany's eyes light up because Spongebob has quickly became one of her favorite cartoons.
We have basically spent the whole afternoon just lounging around and watching TV. Neither one of us have acknowledged the fact that we have yet to talk about what lies ahead. I'm just happy to sit here and watch Brittany's reaction to new found things.
I particularly loved when Brittany first watched Tom and Jerry. It was a classic cartoon and I wanted to start from the beginning with the classics then work my way into the present day. After a few episodes it seemed like Brittany was really enjoying it and I nearly pissed myself laughing when Britt yells out "dammit Jerry! Tom is getting sick of your shit!" Then I had to explain to her that a lot of cartoons at that time had that same dynamic for example Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd, Roadrunner and Wile e Coyote, Tweety bird and Sylvester, etc. Brittany didn't think it was fair that the protagonist didn't get caught at least once.
After I showed her an endless list of cartoons I switched over to the music station. I think Brittany really enjoyed the pop music. She wiggled around and nodded her head to the beat while listening to one of Pit Bull's billion songs that he has out now. When the channel start playing rap music her whole demeanor changed I don't think she cared for it that much because the whole time we watched the videos she just looked at it in confusion.
After like the sixth video she turned to me and asked me "Hey San what's the significance of throwing away money and getting bitches and hoes?"
I honestly had no answer for her. "Um honestly Britt I have no idea I definitely don't make it rain with my hard earned money." I tell her and she seemed satisfied with my answer.
I'm brought out of my thoughts when I hear a loud ding coming from the timer. That means the cookies are done. I think Brittany has figured it out as well because she takes off full speed towards the kitchen. I find her to be so cute and refreshing with her innocence.
"They look delicious San I can't wait to eat them."
"Get the milk out the fridge and some glasses while I plate these." I tell her and giggle at how she skips over to the fridge.
Once Brittany pours milk in the glasses I carry the plate of cookies into the living room with her following close behind me. We sit down and immediately began to eat our warm cookies in comfortable silence.
"Hey San?"
"Yeah Britt?" I reply while still eating my cookie.
"Are all humans as attractive as you?"
I nearly choke on my cookie and start coughing loudly to clear my air way. Once I got over the initial shock of the question I try to get the Brittany to explain what she means.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Well it's just that you're gorgeous no doubt about that, Quinn is really pretty, and even Rachel is. Even though she is super annoying and I kind of wanted to put a muzzle on her." Brittany finishes off deadpan.
I smile at Brittany's omission. "Thanks for the compliment Britt but there are a lot of beautiful people in this world. I'm not talking about just looks either because you can be the the most attractive person ever but still be hideous on the inside. Beauty isn't a one dimensional thing it ranges from all shapes, sizes, and colors." I explain to her.
"Yeah I get that San and in that case they must all be hideous where I'm from." Brittany says.
I don't say anything as a sad look spread across her face. I knew she was getting ready to open up to me so I just patiently wait for her to speak.
"Hey San?" she asks me in a quiet voice.
"Yes B?"
"Do you have the Disney movie the Little Mermaid and if so can we watch it?"
This question catches me off guard because from what she has told me she never really seen anything other than the news channel and that was rare.
"Yea I do but how do you know about that movie? You said you never heard of or seen anything like that." I ask her.
"I heard about it in passing once and matter of fact it has a lot to do with why I'm on the run."
That made no sense to me, was she like on the run from Ursula or something. I couldn't quite comprehend what she was trying to tell me.
"Britt I don't quite get what you're saying."
"It's okay San I'll explain."
BRITTANY POV
FLASHBACK
Dan Hawk had to die tonight and I was the one going to be doing the killing. He betrayed us so now he must be dealt with. They sent me knowing I was the best for the job because I was highly trained. I don't have any weapons on me because weapons are for pussies besides who needs a weapon when you are one. I pick the lock to the front door and slowly crept into the house. This idiot didn't even have an alarm but I would have been prepared even if he had.
It's dark in here but my eyes are trained to work in the dark, matter of fact I do my best work in the dark. I hear a familiar voice on the other end of my ear piece.
"Blue are you in?" the voice says.
"Yeah." I whisper.
"Good kill him and report back to me when it's done."
"Got it." I reply. He tells me the same thing every mission even though I know the procedure like the back of my hand.
I slowly creep up the stairs surveying my surroundings. I spot a door at the end of the hallway and I'm guessing that's the master bedroom. I begin to walk and when I get about halfway I hear a tiny voice speak.
"Are you the Tooth fairy?"
My body freeze in alert and I turn around to find a small child no older than five years old. The little blonde girl has a big smile on her face, well minus a few teeth that are missing. This kid could be a ninja the way she sneaked up on me cause that never happens.
"A who fairy? I ask because I seriously have no idea what that is.
"You know when a kid lose their teeth they take it and leave money for candy." the little girl replies shuffling from one foot to another.
"Ohhh the Tooth fairy I thought you said the poop fairy." I reply earning a loud giggle from the little girl. I seriously still had no idea what this Tooth fairy thing was but I decided to play along.
"No silly pants. So are you?" the girl asked anxiously.
"Um yeah I guess I am." As soon as the words left my mouth I felt my self being dragged off to her room.
"I want to show you my tooth." the little blond says excitedly.
I have mission to take care of but I will appease the child for the time being. Once we are in her room I'll just try to make conversation so I can get her to bed and continue what I came to do.
"So whats your name little one?" I ask.
"You're the Tooth fairy you're suppose to already know my name." the little girl replied sarcastically.
I like this this kid but two can play this game.
"I know your name I'm just seeing if you know it." I reply.
"Oh. Well it's Ariel like the Disney sea princess from The Little Mermaid." the little girl tells me excitedly.
Ha ha take that kid I just outsmarted you but of course I keep this comment to myself.
"Wait The Little Mermaid? I have no idea what that is kid." I say to her because I genuinely don't know.
I hear a gasp come from her. "You never seen it? Are you really a Tooth fairy because I'm starting to think you are lying."
Damn this kid is good. Okay think Brittany think!
"What no of course I've seen it. The Little Mermaid is about a Disney princess who lives in the sea?"
The girl gives me a skeptical look like she knows I'm bullshitting.
"Okay listen Ariel today is my very first day being a Tooth fairy. I'm new to this and just learning all of the rules but it appears I'm not doing a very good job." I put on my very best sad face.
I feel tiny arms wrap around my legs and my heart melts.
"Please don't be sad you're doing good for your first day. I didn't know sorry if I was being a meanie. I can show you what you're suppose to do if you want?"
"Ariel I would really appreciate that." I reply with a smile. I feel terrible about lying to this little girl.
"Okay listen up first things first never get caught by the kid. You have already failed this rule." Ariel giggles.
"Hey!" I say and put on my best pout.
"No it's okay I'm just really good at being sneaky so no worries."
I nod in agreement.
"Next rule get the tooth first then leave the money. You're in the tooth business so you have to make sure the kid doesn't keep the tooth or else you will be coming back."
Ariel explains I can't help but think this kid is pretty business savvy.
"Tooth first then money got it. Wait so how much money do I have to leave?" I ask.
"One dollar and you must leave it under their pillow." Ariel replies.
I snort "That sound pretty cheap to me kid."
"Don't joke about that! One dollar can buy a lot of candy for a kid my age." Ariel says seriously.
Makes mental note to never joke about a dollar to a five year old.
"Okay so I leave the dollar under their pillow then what next?" I ask.
"Then you bust out of that joint before the kid wakes up and sees you." Ariel starts doing some dramatic running in place.
I can't help but giggle this kid is definitely the cutest thing ever.
"I think I got everything I need to know. Hand me your tooth if you don't mind."
Ariel hands me her tooth and ew the Tooth fairy sure does have a nasty job.
"Now what do yo do next?" the little blonde questions.
"Oh right money." I pat my pockets and they are empty. Oh I know I always keep money in my socks. I reach down and take off my shoe then search in my sock and pull out a hundred dollar bill.
"All I have is a hundred and I'm pretty sure you don't have ninety-nine dollars on you so this will have to do."
I handed over the money and watched as Ariel's eyes get big as saucers.
"Whoa! I never had this much of money before. The kids at school will be so jealous of all the candy I'm going to buy!" the little blond says while doing a happy dance.
"Hey you have to leave some candy for the rest of the kids, you can't just buy it all up." I teased.
"Oh yes I can and then I'll make them buy it from me."
I swear this kid is going to be a billionaire one day. I need to get out of here though I've already spent enough time with her as is.
"Okay Ariel I have to go and you little lady need to be asleep."
"Okay but can you tuck me in before you go?" Ariel asks and looks up at me with big pleading eyes.
"Um yeah sure kid." I reply.
She raises her arms up and I'm confused for a second but then I realize that she wants me to pick her up. I bend down and scoop her up then place her in the bed pulling the covers on her nice and tight. I'm shocked when the Ariel hugs my neck super tightly and says "I think you're going to be a great Tooth fairy and I'll take all the credit."
Even though I wasn't really the Tooth fairy I was super touched by this little girl.
"Thanks Ariel I really appreciate all of your help, goodnight little one." I stand up and make my way to the door.
"Hey Tooth fairy?" Ariel calls out.
"Yeah kid?" I reply.
"Will you be coming back when I lose my next tooth? I would really like it if you you would."
"I don't think so." When I notice the sad look on Ariel's face I quickly retract my statement. Ugh this kid is making me soft I don't even have the heart to tell her no.
"I can't make any promises but I can try okay?"
"Okay... and Tooth fairy last rule you're only allowed to give me one hundred dollar bills and tuck me in." Ariel tells me.
"I wouldn't even dare doing that for another kid. Now goodnight and go to sleep."
I hurriedly make my way to the door and out Ariel's room. My heart is so full I feel like I want to cry for the first time in years. The little blonde reminded me so much of myself as a kid. At this point I know I can't go in there and kill her father. I don't want her to end up like I was young, scared, and parent less. I curse myself for being weak and letting a little kid get to me.
Even though I know what I'm about to do will get me severely punished or worse I do it anyways for Ariel's sake. For the first time ever I have failed a mission, curse my stupid heart.
"Blue is it done?" I hear in my ear.
I reach and pull the ear piece out my ear, throw it to the ground, and crush it with my foot. I knew my life had just become a clock winding down and I did the only thing I could do... run.
PRESENT DAY
"I couldn't do it San I couldn't take her father away from her. So I woke him up told him the reason I was there, and told him to grab his daughter and go into hiding. Ariel crept under my skin and made her tiny way to my heart. I was the same age as her when I was taken away from my papa and I just couldn't do it. That's always been my problem I'm too caring and when they first started training me they use to try to get me to kill small animals. You know what I would do? I would take the animal and tried to hide it or free it. I got caught every time and was severally punished but every single time I'd do the same thing. It took years but I grew tired and one day I just broke, I cut off my emotions and I stop feeling. Now look at me back to the same place I was as a kid. I'm so weak!" Brittany sobbed out her body began to shake uncontrollably.
Santana wrapped her arms around Brittany's body, pulled her close to her and hung on like her life depended on it. Maybe it did but she needed to comfort the blonde in this moment.
"Brittany listen to me you are not weak."
"But-"
"You. Are. Not. Weak. Anyone who has done what you have is not weak. You could have killed that man and left that girl to become parent less but you didn't. Having feelings isn't weakness, having compassion for another being isn't weakness. It's strength beyond you can imagine. It takes strength to go against what you've been taught and do what's right even if it means being punished. So no you are not weak and I don't want you thinking that anymore. Do you understand?"
Brittany nods her head and takes in everything Santana has just said. She isn't sure about many things at this point but she is sure that she trusts Santana. If Santana believes she is strong then she needs to start believing it too.
She held on to Santana tighter embracing the warmth and love that she could feel radiating off of her. All the guilt, shame, suffering, anguish, and loneliness hit her all at once and for the first time since she was a kid... she cried.
