A/N: Prompt from lovecanbesostrange; Brittany is repeating senior year and everything sucks a bit, because there's no Santana. After the Cheerios win their Sectionals she's not in the mood for celebrating, but then somebody jumps her back and she would recognize the legs wrapping around her waist anywhere! Happy surprise meeting. Thanks!
Shaking her pom-poms half-heartedly in response to her teammates' waves, Brittany looks down. This is the first competition without Santana by her side, and it isn't as exciting as it normally is.
Vaguely registering the clacking of boots coming up behind her, Brittany jerks forward when a warm body jumps onto her back, legs wrapping tightly around her waist as strong arms snake around her shoulder.
The familiar scent of Santana stops her from freaking out. "Santana?" she asks, tears rising in her throat.
"I'm so proud of you," Santana husks, pressing her mouth to Brittany's neck, "You did it."
