Hi, I do not own Glee. Please review :)
I don't know what kind of songs these two listen to so I googled some hits in the year 2008-9. Ahahaha.
The first time Santana heard Brittany sing was when they were at her house, watching random cute animal videos and there was one with the cats dancing to Lady Gaga's Just Dance, and Brittany stood up from Santana's bed and started to sing and dance to Just Dance. Santana already knew that Brittany had killer dance moves but seeing her sing AND dance made Santana watch Brittany, not the video. Brittany looked graceful twirling and dancing around the room and in the middle of the song, she took Santana's arms signaling her to dance with her. They sang and danced until the end of the song and jumped on her bed. They lay on their backs and laughed.
Brittany turned sideways to face Santana and she just stared at her, smiling. Santana met her eyes but something about the way Brittany was staring at her made her stomach flip.
She gulped and broke the silence "You're a damn good dancer Britt. And I didn't know you can sing! You're pretty good."
"You're not so bad yourself, San." Brittany smirked at her and tapped the side of her cheek "You should smile more often, love."
Santana tried to pout when she said that but quickly broke the pout with a light laugh. "I'll smile more often with you. Just not… out there. I have a reputation to maintain."
Brittany just stared for a few seconds then started to mumble Kelly Clarkson's Miss Independent "Miss independent, miss self-sufficient, miss keep your distance, miss unafraid, miss out of my way." She stopped singing and continued "That's like your song in Lima. But not with me. Guess what song comes on my mind when I see you?"
Santana furrowed her brows "What?"
"Fireflies. Owl City." Brittany started singing "I'd like to make myself believe, that planet Earth turns slowly. It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep, 'cause everything is never as it seems when I fall asleep."
Santana gave Brittany a confused look "What does that have to do with me?"
"In my dreams, I live in a land of rainbows and ponies and you. Happy you. Not Snixx you. Then we'd dance and eat candies and there's no one that will call us losers for doing so. When I see you I remember that dream and I wish time would be slower when we're together because I like spending time with you."
Santana blushed at what she just said. It made her stomach flip again. She didn't know what emotion she was having and that scared her a little bit. Santana wanted to answer with something sweet because Brittany deserved that. She was still afraid to get too sappy with her best friend even if no one outside her room will hear what she will say, so she settled with
"Wow, if it was any other person I'd think that that was a confession of love. But thanks, genius." She wasn't sure if she saw Brittany flinch when she said the word love, but she guessed that was just her imagination.
The first time Santana sang to Brittany was when they were at Brittany's and it was her first time meeting Mr. and Mrs. Pierce. It was awkward enough that Mr. and Mrs. Pierce hugged her when Brittany introduced her; it became even more awkward when Mrs. Pierce invited Santana to use their newly bought jukebox (Mr. Pierce got a promotion and decided to buy something big). So Santana obliged and sang Hello Goodbye by The Beatles.
Brittany watched Santana sing and she clapped loudly and hugged Santana tightly after the song. "You're so great! You should totally sing a lot." She kissed Santana's cheek then whispered "Sorry for making you go through that with my parents."
Santana gave her a shy smile. "It's okay, just don't make me do that again. I'm not really confident with singing while someone's watching. Singing is not something to be proud of in our school."
Brittany tilted her head and shrugged "Sometimes I wonder why you care so much about what people think about you." The instant Brittany said that, she regretted it. Santana has an issue with what the public thinks of her. She always lectures her with how it's important to be popular and stuff like that but Brittany doesn't understand that because she thinks Santana is a wonderful person as she is. Santana opened her mouth to answer but Brittany stopped her by putting a finger near her lips. "Nu-uh, not going to lecture me with that again. Let's go upstairs and feed Lord Tubbington instead."
When they were at Brittany's room and she was teaching her a little bit of Spanish, she was explaining something about grammatical rules when Brittany cut her off by saying "Sing for me. Por favor?"
"What? No. Britt, I don't sing. I just did that because your parents said so."
"Do I have to call my mom to make you sing again?"
"Oh God that's even worse. Fine, I'll sing! What do you want me to sing?"
"Let's see…" Brittany puts her iPod on shuffle. It played A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton. Brittany pretended like she was playing the piano, looking at Santana expectantly.
"Ugh, fine. But not a word outside." Santana took a deep breath and... "Making my way down town, walking fast faces pass, and I'm home bound…"
