Santana wants to propose to brittany in the choir room (canon) she propose but then she notice she lost the ring
Santana's nerves are bouncing all around inside her as she grabs a chair from the front row and slides it out to the center of the room, but Brittany doesn't notice and keeps on singing to the love of her life.
Singing with Santana is one of her most favorite things in the world because once upon a time, she didn't think she'd ever get the chance. Back when their love was a dirty little secret and Santana was running for the hills at any mention of talking about feelings. Back when I'm not making out with you because I'm in love with you and I'm afraid of the talks and the looks. Back when singing together was a thing they saved for when they were alone and no one could hear them.
They can sing and dance with each other, whether it is in front of the Glee club kids or in front of a whole stadium of random people, with ease now because there's nothing to be afraid of anymore. They have the kind of love that's powerful and overcomes and somewhere deep down, Brittany and Santana knew that. For Brittany it was easy, she knew all along that because her love was so strong for Santana anything was possible. Though it took a little longer for Santana to accept that, Brittany continued to love her quietly and patiently because Santana's worth it.
But everything's different now, so different, and Brittany can't help but fall even more in love with Santana because she is so brave. She's come along way and as Santana directs her to sit down, all Brittany can process is all the love filling beautiful brown eyes and a smile so bright it lights up the whole room.
Santana's just about ready to explode, she's that nervous, but as she looks down at Brittany looking back at her like she's the best thing in the world, she knows there's nothing to be nervous about. She can't believe she's still singing the right words because all she can think of is what she's been rehearsing to say for months. She's afraid she'd might actually forget what to say, she's made so many changes, but there's one sentence that sticks out most in her mind, one that she won't forget to ask:
Brittany S. Pierce, will you marry me?
Santana shivers at the words rolling over in her head and how soon, within minutes, she'll taste them on her tongue. She reaches for Brittany's hands, swaying them from side to side as her and Brittany sing the last of the words. Santana's breath quickens as the song fades and all she can hear is the steady beating of her heart.
Everyone's clapping and cheering for them and Brittany just smiles at everyone but Santana's eyes remain on Brittany, trying to remember how to speak and hoping that she doesn't leave anything important out of her speech. Brittany moves to get up from the chair, her hands still in Santana's, but the brunette shakes her head.
"Wait, I need to tell you something." Santana says and her voice is so soft and quiet that Brittany almost misses it.
"We can make fun of Rachel in the back row, San, it's mean if we do it in front of her face." Brittany whispers and Santana just smirks and shakes her head.
"I need to ask you something."
[insert excruciatingly sweet and mushy romantic speech about Santana's love for Brittany because do you seriously want to kill me with this prompt?]
Tears fall freely from misty blue eyes as Santana bends down on one knee, "Brittany S. Pierce, will you-"
Panic suddenly strikes Santana as she subtly feels around for the most important part of this whole thing. Her heart rate sky rockets and it's not because Brittany says yes. Her fingers trace the undersides of her boobs, her hip, she even peeks down her top but it's not there. The engagement ring she spent weeks searching for is. Not. There.
"Yes!" Brittany beams anyway but Santana's freaking out too much to be concerned with Brittany's answer right now because this is not how she planned it. There was supposed to be a ring. She was supposed to give her speech then get down on one knee and present her with this beautiful ring, but the ring is not being presented right now and that's a huge problem.
"No, no this can't be happening." Santana mumbles and eyes the ground, her hands still patting away at her body for a ring that might've slipped during the duet, "You can't say yes yet, Britt Britt, there's supposed to be a ring!"
"Honey..it's okay, I don't need a ring." Brittany tries to comfort her but Santana's already pacing around the room, retracing her steps. Brittany might not care, but Santana does. Santana wants Brittany to have something to show off, something that'll be a symbol of their love. She wants people to see Brittany's ring and know that Santana finally did something right.
The Glee clubbers have mixed expressions, but Santana doesn't notice. Mercedes and Quinn even stand up to try and help Santana look for the lost ring much to the brunette's refusal.
Even Brittany gets up to look and Santana just about crumbles because losing the ring was not part of the plan. Brittany's not supposed to be helping her look for the ring she lost; she's supposed to be wearing it! Santana had been so focused on keeping the whole proposal a secret and remembering the words and choreography to their duet and remembering her speech; everything was going to be perfect. Santana was finally going to give her everything she deserved; she was going to make all the waiting in the past worth it and-
"Found it!" Brittany peeps and Santana spins to find Brittany on her knees beside the piano with a ring, the ring, between her fingertips.
"Yes!" Santana rushes over, overwhelmed with happiness. She's breathless and teary-eyed but as she stares down at Brittany holding the ring up to her, she can't help but laugh because she's supposed to be the one on her knees holding up the ring. Santana turns bashful and her hands find each other, squeezing and clenching, "Could I maybe ask you again?"
Brittany just smiles and hands the ring over before making her way back to her chair. Santana checks to make sure the ring is still shiny and there aren't any scratches before walking over to Brittany. The blonde smiles up at her, her cheeks bunched and her eyes squinted and her nose a little scrunched.
"Santana? Baby, oh my God..What are you doing?" She asks, as Santana lowers to her knee again, before her eyes go wide and her hands cover the answer already wanting to escape her mouth.
Santana's nerves surprisingly resurface as she holds the ring between them, her hand shaking ever so slightly, "Brittany S. Pierce, will you marry me?"
"Of course." Brittany grins a watery smile and cups Santana's cheeks before pulling her in for a kiss, "With or without a ring."
