Santana's pov
It happened. The worst possible thing that could happen, happened. The letters were sent! All the boys got theirs! Thank goodness Landy, aka Sebastian my best friend, hadn't found out about Finn; and neither had Rachel, my sister and Finn's girlfriend.
I went to my best friend in tears, ready to explain my dilemma without bringing up his stepbrother, of course; and see if he had any helpful suggestions. Once he saw how freaked out I was, he took me into his loving arms; platonically loving arms that had soothed me more times than I can count over the years.
"Annie, it'll be ok. I'll do whatever it is you need to help get you out of this mess."
My head buried in his neck, I sniffled
"Thank you."
He smiled
"Anything for you. In fact, in order to make the nasty rumors go away before they even start; why don't we show the people that these letters are old news? That they don't ring true anymore?"
I was desperate and opened to suggestions, even though I had no idea what he had in mind
"What do you mean? How do we do that?"
He smiled, arm slung casually around me, same as always; and leaned to whisper in my ear, shivers going down my spine
"Fake dating. You and me. People already think we're dating; we can scam them easy. Plus, it's not like we are uncomfortable with each other..."
Every word he spoke was true, as were all the ones he left unspoken; trusting our silent communication skills with each other to deliver the message. There was only one thing left to say.
"I'm in."
