Hi, I do not own Glee. Please review :)
Glee has ended but I'll still continue this fic. 2nd part of Rumours. Rumours 3 coming up. It breaks my heart to write that soulmate scene. Ugh, the life of a shipper. Anyway, I hope you like it :)
It's been two days since Brittany and Artie broke up. She texted him that night when he called her stupid. A single perfectly spelled sentence that said 'I don't want to be with someone who calls me stupid and I'm sorry.' She's been clinging to Santana ever since. Part of her felt relieved, she no longer had to choose between two people, but part of her felt sad. She missed Artie. Even if he called her stupid, he wasn't all bad when they were together. Besides, Artie was technically her first real relationship so it kinda hurt.
Despite the rumours around her the past few days, she was ecstatic. It felt like heaven when Brittany and Artie broke up. Now Brittany was 100% with her and she liked Brittany's attention. She was at home, going through the Rumours album as it was their glee club assignment for the week. She was playing it track by track, listening to what she could sing. Track 6. Songbird. She had this amazing idea. She picked up her phone to text Brittany. 'Meet me the choir room after Spanish class. I love u.' they have every class together except for Spanish because Santana was so fluent, that she was exempted from it. she hurriedly went to school and looked for Brad the pianist, sheet music of Songbird in one hand, determination on the other.
She gave the sheet music to Brad and smiled at him. "Hi, Brad. Can you please play this later? Not in glee club. Around one hour from now."
Brad's eyes lit up when he saw the paper. "Sure."
Santana was waiting outside the choir room when Brittany showed up. She held her hand as she led her to the choir room. She shut the door and kissed her cheek. "Hi. How was class?"
Brittany kissed Santana's lips softly. "It was fine. I missed you."
"How are you feeling? About..." Santana knew that Brittany was still feeling bothered by her breakup.
"Well, it's been two days but it's still stings. Sorry if I'm telling you this." she frowned. Brittany sat on the piano chair and started playing simple do re mi's.
"It's okay, Britt-Britt. That's what best friends are for. Tell me more." she smiled at her. It was true that she's feeling really bothered that Brittany liked Artie, but she was being supportive.
Brittany sighed. She stood up and leaned on the piano. She played with her fingers and shared what she felt to Santana. "God, I'm so sad. Like a sad little panda."
"Well, that's why I brought you here," Brittany looked at her. "...to cheer you up." she took Brittany's hand and led her to one of the chairs. "I've been going through that Rumours album and I found the best song that really goes one step past "Landslide" in expressing my feelings for you." she paused and whispered "...my private feelings."
Brittany looked around the room and saw Brad the pianist. When did he enter the room? She was pretty sure no one was there when she sat on the piano chair. Or did she sit on him? "What about him?"
"He's just furniture." she didn't say it in a mean way but it was kinda true. "Sorry. No offense." Brad shrugged. Santana continued. "Hit it." Santana took a deep breath and started singing, giving emotion to every word of the song. "For you, there'll be no more crying. For you, the sun will be shining." her eyes never left Brittany. Brittany smiled at her and it made her heart flutter.
Brittany listened to the lyrics intently. She smiled when Santana sang "And I feel that when I'm with you, it's all right, I know it's right." she felt that way too. Being with Santana was like going home and sleeping in your bed after being away for so long. She started to tear up because the way that Santana sang it was so real, so pure.
"And the songbirds are singing like they know the score. And I love you, I love you, I love you like never before." Santana put every emotion that she felt to the 'I love you.' "And I wish you all the love in the world. But most of all, I wish it from myself." she meant every word of it. And by looking at Brittany, she knew that she completely understood.
Slowly, tears welled up from her eyes. Santana loved her more with each day that passes. It's like she discovers Brittany over and over again. And she doesn't mind. She loved every second of it. "And the songbirds keep singing like they know the score. And I love you, I love you, I love you like never before. Like never before." the song ended and she gave Brittany a shy smile. She wiped a tear away, waiting for Brittany's reaction.
Brittany smiled at her. She wanted to kiss Santana badly but she remembered that Brad was there. She stood up and approached Santana. "Okay, so why couldn't you sing that to me in front of everyone," she loved the song and hoped that she'll sing it in front of the others. Even just the glee club. Baby steps."...now that Artie and I aren't together?"
"No, not-not yet." she said, wiping another tear away. She wasn't ready. She loved Brittany so much yet she was still so scared. "I'm not ready for that type of public announcement. Ever since that Muckraker thing, people have already started treating me differently. I got asked to join the golf team." she remembered the wimpy kid that gave her the signup sheet for the golf team. It was so weird and awkward.
Brittany furrowed her brows. When she heard the word team, an idea clicked. Of course Santana would be afraid if she thought that she was going out alone! So she gave a suggestion. "Well, what if I went first? Come on Fondue for Two." she continued, making her tone light and flirty. "I'll ask you out to prom and I'll tell you how I feel, and all you have to do is say yes." she tilted her head and hoped that Santana would agree.
Santana looked down and thought about it for a second. Why not? Brittany will be there for her. Maybe she can actually do it. Everything was possible with Brittany. What a genius. She bit her lip and nodded. "Okay."
"Yeah." she raised her arms to meet Santana's embrace. "Thank you." she whispered.
She slept at Brittany's that night. They spent the night building a fort out of sheets, cuddling and kissing. After a particularly long make out session, Lord Tubbington interrupted them by jumping on top of the blanket, causing the fort to fall and they got devoured by a blanket. They both laughed. Santana pulled the sheets down to be able to find Brittany. "I thought I lost you for a second there, baby." she smiled.
"I thought I lost you too!" she pounced on Santana and assaulted her with kisses. "Don't ever leave, 'kayy?"
"Never." she touched Brittany's cheek and kissed her. "I really, really, really love you." Santana caressed her back. "Like, even if I have amnesia, if I see you, I'll know and remember that I love you, you know?"
Brittany bit her lip and blushed at what Santana said. "Such a dork, honey." she kissed Santana's lips tenderly, like the first few drops just before it rains hard. "My dork." she looked at Santana's eyes and analyzed every inch of her beauty. "I love you. You made me so happy today, singing that song to me. I just wish we can share our love to the world, because we're so sweet, hot, sexy and in love that they'll get jealous."
"I will try my best tomorrow, Britt. I will." she assured her.
"I know you will, San." Brittany gave Santana a small smile which turned into a smirk when Santana's hands went from her back to the lower part of her abdomen. "Are you in the mood for something, sweetie?" she said innocently.
Santana bit her lip. "I'm hungry. I want to eat something." she seductively said.
"Oh would you look at that, love? Could have a more perfect timing. I'm hungry too." she kissed Santana lovingly, devouring her, savoring her taste and smell.
Brittany and Santana made love the whole night. They only stopped when they were too tired and satisfied to continue. They lay in each other's arms, craving for contact, craving for love. They slept with both of them in rapture.
