A/N: Okay, beforehand, let me apologize for this chapter being so short :( I really wanted to make it longer. Problems I had: 1. I attempted to do something Kiki related before I realized that I just couldn't for some reason and trashed the whole thing. 2. I'm terrible at sexy things and this is K+ anyway so that made this shorter. Ugh. :/ Also, idk how much a different K+ and T are, and this might be T. Whateves. Sorry for length issues.
Love
"Babe," Santana complained, stretching out the word. "The zoo is for little kids."
"No it's not!" Brittany argued. "It's fun! There are all sorts of animals and it'll be just you and me!"
Santana smiled at that last part. She did not want to go to the zoo, but she would of course go for Brittany, especially if it meant a break from their friends. Santana, Brittany, Quinn, Rachel and Kurt had been hanging out almost every other day, but Santana and Brittany weren't getting as much alone time as either of them wanted.
"Fine," Santana gave in. Brittany grinned, and grabbed Santana in a hug.
"You're the best girlfriend ever!" she squealed. Santana laughed, hugging Brittany back.
It wasn't long before they were in Santana's car, driving down the road out of Lima and to the zoo. Brittany was squirming in her seat. Santana kept glancing over to her and smiling. "How about we listen to music, Britt," Santana suggested, "so you don't keep squirming?"
"Okay!" Brittany agreed. Santana flipped on the radio and a song started playing.
I like your smile,
I like your vibe,
I like your style...
But that's not why I love you.
And I, I like the way, you're such a star.
But that's not why I love you.
Hey! Do you feel? Do you feel me?
Do you feel what I feel too?
Do you need? Do you need me?
Do you need me?
Santana watched Brittany start to dance in her seat rather than squirm.
You're so beautiful!
But that's not why I love you!
I'm not sure you know!
That the reason I love you is you...
Being you... just you!
Yeah the reason I love you,
Is all that we've been through,
And that's why I love you!
The song seemed to fade away as Santana drifted into thoughts. She stared straight ahead, smiling slightly, but she wasn't listening to the song anymore. The lyrics played in her head. You're so beautiful! But that's not why I love you! I'm not sure you know! That the reason I love you is you, being you, just you!
Santana glanced at Brittany again. Love... it's real right? Love is real? If it is... surely I have it with her, right? I love her for being her. Santana sighed slightly, glancing and smiling at Brittany again. She noticed that a new song was coming on.
Santana didn't pay attention to any of the lyrics until the chorus.
I'm in love with a girl who knows me better,
Fell for the woman just when I met her,
Took my sweet time,
When I was bitter!
Someone understands!
Santana inhaled sharply, glancing at Brittany again. Brittany was singing and dancing in her seat, getting another smile out of the Latina. But thoughts kept running through Santana's head. Do I really love her? Should I tell her? What if she doesn't love me back?
I'm in love with a girl!
(I'm in love with)
I'm in love with a girl!
(I'm in love with)
Santana finally exhaled. She needed to sort out her feelings as soon as possible. She wanted to know how she felt, she wanted things to be easy.
Brittany raced around the zoo with Santana. They looked at all the different animals and stopped multiple times for food. Hot dogs, chips, Popsicles, ice cream, soft pretzels. Brittany was losing energy fast, what with all the running, and that's why she had to eat so much.
Santana was panting when they finally reached the last section of the zoo, where the gift shops were. "Britt... please can we stop running?" Brittany spun around to see Santana with her hands on her knees, literally panting. Brittany smiled apologetically.
The blonde took her girlfriend's hand and they slowly made their way into a gift shop. Brittany led Santana to a counter covered with jewelry. "What do you like?"
"I don't know," Santana answered with a shrug. "I don't want to buy anything."
"You don't have to, I am," Brittany informed her.
"Then get what you like," Santana suggested. Brittany laughed.
"I'm buying something for you, silly," the blonde exclaimed happily. "What do you like?" Santana smiled and looked at the jewelry before shrugging again.
"Britt, if you're going to buy me jewelry, you should pick one for me," Santana suggested. The blonde pouted.
"What if you don't like it and you won't wear it?"
With a chuckle, Santana answered, "I promise that if it's from you, I'll love it no matter what. And I'll wear it whenever you want me to."
Half an hour later, Santana and Brittany were back at Brittany's apartment. "Baby, are you going to tell me what you bought me yet?" Santana asked. Brittany had insisted that Santana not look at what she was being bought, and still hadn't shown her yet.
"Turn around," Brittany commanded. Santana turned and Brittany put a necklace around the Latina's neck. The cold metal made Santana shiver. When Brittany had latched the necklace in the back, Santana looked down at the charm. She laughed slightly. There were two, a dolphin and a unicorn.
"Why these?" Santana wondered, turning back to Brittany.
"Well... dolphins are gay sharks," Brittany answered. "And Unicorns are super special and amazing people. You're both."
Santana laughed again, and her eyes locked with Brittany's. Both of their eyes darkened slightly, and Santana launched her lips at the blonde's. They kissed each other hungrily. Brittany ended up against her living room wall, with Santana kissing her hard.
Brittany pulled away after a few minutes. "Santana... maybe we should go to my room...?"
They started for Brittany's room, but Santana stopped. "Wait, Britt." The blonde tilted her head. "I have to tell you something."
Brittany's eyes light up. "Yes?"
"I love you."
"I love you, too," Brittany returned, smiling so wide. "I want you to live with me."
Santana inhaled. "Really?" Brittany's smile turned into a grin as she nodded. "Okay."
"Now c'mere. We can make you living here official," Brittany suggested, smirking.
"I haven't moved in yet," Santana reminded, slowly following Brittany to her bedroom.
"It's the pre celebration. There's more to come," Brittany promised, her voice low. Santana's heart raced. I want you. I need you. I love you.
I hoped that the content sort of counteracted the sadness of the shortness? Songs used: I Love You by Avril Lavigne and I'm In Love With A Girl by Gavin DeGraw. (:
