short little chapter in NYC baby :) so for the rather long break :(
It only took us four cars and seven hours to move in. Brittany insisted on bringing every possible item that we ever owned to New York, literally. She was on the verge of tears when I had to break it to her that it wasn't actually possible for us to take her room seen as... it was attached to her house.
We made it to our new apartment in good time and our parents and some of the Glee kids helped us to move the boxes. The apartment was a one bed because it was all we could afford. In all honesty it was a piece of crap but I promised Brittany we'd move ASAP as soon as we had some cash. We had a cool view of the skyline, a kitchen, a bathroom, a living room and a bedroom and that was good enough for me. We only needed the basics to start off with.
I had convinced Quinn to go to Harvard and after a couple of hours she came around. She just didn't like the idea of having no one close by, but I assured her that the Quinn Fabray I knew wouldn't give a fuck. Berry headed off to Juilliard and yea I don't care... Brittany tried to get experience in some of the local dance studios and with some Lopez persuasion they agreed. I was going to NYU studying Law, and I'm not gonna lie, I was excited.
Everyone left that evening to head back to Lima or wherever else and we said our goodbyes.
"I'm going to miss you two not having my back." Quinn said tearfully.
"Q, we'll always have your back but you gotta chill. We'll see you at like every holiday and everything in between." I said calmly as Brittany snuggled into my side on our new couch.
"Easy for you to say, you'll always have B around." She frowned.
"I'm one lucky, lucky girl." I murmured as I cast a glance over Brittany.
"San, you're so cute. You're like a limited edition gay Barbie; my gay Barbie." She beamed up at me.
I brought my head down towards her and out lips met in a quick peck followed by a clearing of the throat from Quinn.
"Yes?" I questioned.
"You two are ridiculous."
"Yea we are ridiculously hot."
"That's so not what I said and you know it Lopez, I think I'm gonna go before you start doing it like bunnies on speed."
"Awh no Quinn don't go." Brittany pouted.
Quinn got up and smiled at her before grabbing her coat and putting it on. Brittany was first up and wrapped Quinn in a tight hug. I could hear both of the blondes sniffling already. They kissed each other on the cheek and Brittany stepped back. I walked up and put my arms around Quinn's neck, I could feel her breath hitching because of the tears. I let go after what seemed to be the shortest moment in history. I gently wiped the rogue tear from her cheek and smirked.
"Seriously Fabray?"
"Oh shut up Lopez." She choked out.
We walked her to the door and said our final goodbyes. I wasn't really feeling the emotional stuff because we'd see her in at least two weeks. Brittany was still crying after we had closed the door and were sitting back on the couch. I slid my arm around her waist and looked to her.
"You are crying, while we're in our brand new apartment, in New fucking York?" I laughed.
She giggled. "Yea I know."
"What's say we break our new place in?" I said with a suggestively arched eyebrow.
"Umm?" Brittany mumbled with obvious confusion.
"Sex?" I kept my eyebrow arched.
"Oh... well yes... that would be nice." She grinned.
I hoisted her up and she wrapped her legs around my waist. I walked her to our new bedroom and laid her down on the bed. We had no sheets but that so wasn't stopping us.
Alls I'm gonna say is that Quinn wasn't wrong when she compared us to bunnies on speed.
We got up the following morning a little worse for wear but we decided to get to know our surroundings. We got dressed in the clothes that were at the top of one of the boxes and headed off. We strolled down a couple of the streets and checked a couple of the stores. I had Brittany's hand in mine and I didn't have to worry about who saw us; it was great.
Brittany was totally in awe of the place, I could tell because I swear for a couple of minutes she forgot to breath. I lead her into a little coffee shop and we sat down as we warmed up from the cold outside. I bought two hot chocolates and laid them down on the table.
"So what do you think so far?" I asked before I took a long sip from my mug.
"I love it! It so big and loud. Lima is like nothing compared to this." It was her childlike reactions like that that I loved.
"Totally."
"San?"
"Hmm?"
"I'm so happy right now."
"Okay?" I laughed.
"I mean this is perfect, you know?"
"Yea Britt, I get you and I couldn't agree more."
We polished off our hot chocolates and braced ourselves for more of the harsh New York cold. We stepped outside and laced our fingers together and strolled further down the block. We came across some cute boutiques and a local park. We entered and I hoped we could find a quiet little bench where we could just sit and cuddle, but no, it's always Brittany with those ulterior motives of hers.
"DUCKS!"
"Yeah baby, I see them." I sighed heavily although Brittany didn't notice my lack of interest.
"They're so cute; we should bring some duck food next time." She said thoughtfully.
"Bread?"
"Sure. Umm San?"
"Yes Britt?"
She snuggled closer to me as we stood at the edge of the new found pond. Her head tucked itself in the crook of my chin and she gently kissed my neck and jaw line.
"Can I have one?" She asked sweetly.
"No B." I said firmly.
"But San their so-"
"No Brittany."
"Pretty please."
"We're not even properly moved in yet babe."
"But I really want one..." She pouted, Dammit.
"Uh well..." Bingo, I got an idea. "Ok Brittany, you can all of them."
"Really S?" She beamed with a new brightness in her eyes, excitement brimming within her.
"Yup, but we gotta leave them here because we don't have a pond in our apartment, and we wouldn't want sad ducks, would we?"
"No way, I don't like sad duckies." She said contemplatively.
"Nobody does sweetie, so we'll leave them here and feed them when we come back some other day."
"Ok San, I think I'll name that one Herman." She smiled as she pointed out one of the flock.
"Whatever you say." I smiled at her grinning lips before kissing them. "Let's go home and finish unpacking."
And with some goodbyes to the ducks from Brittany and one forced goodbye from me we headed home. I had just convinced a girl that she owned all the ducks in the park, I'm a genius. NYU's got nothing on Santana Lopez. I can literally bullshit my way out of any situation.
And before you ask, yes, Brittany rewarded me for getting her the ducks. Score.
