Santana was in the middle of trying to decide what she could wear when Brittany texted her.
Dress comfortably ;)
That meant a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt to Santana. She quickly changed and sat down at the kitchen table to wait for the knock at the door. Quinn was across from her, studying.
"Can you stop like internally vibrating? You nervous energy is really contagious." Santana smirked at her as their eyes met.
"First of all, wanky. And I can't help but be nervous Q." Quinn sighed and threw her pen in her book, closing it.
"You've been with this girl for how long, five years. What do you have to be nervous about?"
As per usual, Quinn was unfavorably correct. Santana and Brittany had been together for over five years and were supposed to be getting married. So why was Santana so nervous to spend a couple of hours with someone she loved and had committed to spending the rest of her life with?
The knock that came a few minutes later was liking the releasing of the krakens in Santana's stomach. She had butterflies. She had always gotten butterflies with Brittany before, but these were different.
She was about to get up and answer the door when Quinn yelled with her face still in her book "It's open." She looked up and got the 'stay the fuck out of my business' look from Santana. She just smiled and went back to her work.
"Hey Santana." At the sound of Brittany's soft voice she turned around. Brittany was wearing the same thing she was. But Santana noticed it was her sweatshirt. Her favorite NYU sweatshirt. She let herself smile. She forgot how much she loved Brittany wearing her clothes.
"Hey Britt" They just stood there looking each other up and down, communicating through silence like they always had.
"Are you two going or am I going to have to study at the library?" Quinn interrupted their stares and Santana whirled around and flicked her off. Quinn stood up and walked over to Brittany. She held out her hand and Brittany took it, smiling. "I'm Quinn."
"Santana's told me all about you. I'm Brittany and you probably know everything about me too." Quinn looked over at Santana and raised her eyebrows.
"Yeah that one doesn't stop talking about you." She lets go of Brittany's hand and points to Santana, who drops her eyes.
Brittany swallowed loudly "Are you ready to go Santana?"
Santana grabbed her purse and nodded. Brittany let her out first and waved a goodbye to Quinn.
"Talk about sexual tension…" Quinn murmured to herself.
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Quinn seems…." Brittany states as she opened the door of Quinn's apartment building.
"Like a bitch?" Santana finished her statement and Brittany smiled at her.
"No I was gonna go with interesting." Santana laughed at her. Brittany was always so…polite.
"And that's Brittany for bitch. You can say what you feel Brittany." Santana didn't think about how heavy that sentence was before she said it. It seemed to cover the sun so she decided to change the subject. "So where are we going?" Brittany's face lifted some.
"I was going to take you to some fancy restaurant and woo you with like a private concert, but I figured that was too extravagant." She smiled at Santana. She was so cute. "So instead I thought we could go back to our place, order Chinese and watch a movie."
"That sounds perfect." Santana felt their hands gently slide against each other as they walked. She had an overwhelming urge to intertwine their fingers but resisted.
They reached their apartment and when Santana walked inside, for the first time in a long time, she felt at home. Quinn's place was cool and this apartment was her home, but the past year something had been missing. Brittany.
Everything about Brittany made it home. Her scent that had faded before, had returned. There were scuff marks in the middle of the living room where Brittany had been dancing. The littlest things were what made her miss her home.
Brittany stepped tentatively around Santana and went into the kitchen. "You want your usual?" She called over her shoulder.
"Yeah." Santana sat down on their couch and let herself relax. Brittany joined her a couple of minutes later and told her their food would be delivered soon.
"So I pulled out a few movies to choose from." She leaned over and handed Santana the short stack of DVD's from the coffee table. She smiled and looked up to see Brittany doing the same.
They were the same movies they had watched the first time they had a movie date. Santana held up Step Up and Brittany, grinning ear to ear, hopped up and put it in.
"Why these movies Britt?" She asked as Brittany settled next to her.
"We watched them on our first lazy date." Santana's heart fluttered. She never really considered that a date.
"You considered that our first date?"
"No, our first date was that party at Mike's house. Our first lazy day date were these movies. I figured it was the only first date I could recreate because Mike wasn't having a party today." Santana laughed with her. She was too adorable for her own good.
Then Santana remember how that date went. It was great. They watched the movies Brittany had brought, ate junk all day, and cuddled. They also made out and almost had sex. Santana tried to keep that from showing on her face but Brittany already knew what she was thinking.
"Don't worry. It's just a movie and take out. No insanely hot make up sessions. Scout's honor." Brittany shoved her thigh playfully and held up two fingers.
Santana knew Brittany wouldn't force her to do anything, but would Brittany stop her if she started it?

After they ate their dinner and finished two movies, Brittany asked if Santana was ready to go back to Quinn's. She needed to. She needed to study. But she didn't want to leave Brittany. Some much had seemed to heal in the past couple of hours than in all the time she had asked to spend apart.
"I can stay for one more." Brittany gave her a look that said 'thank you'.
The movie Brittany choose wasn't exactly Santana's favorite. But The Little Mermaid was Brittany's favorite and she had let her choose the last two.
As it started, Brittany inched ever so closer to Santana. She was trying to be subtle about it but she wasn't. Santana smiled to herself and laid her hand next to her. She caught Brittany's eyes looking down at it and slowly moved it closer to the dancer's leg. Brittany returned her eyes to the TV, but connected their hands and intertwined their fingers. They both let their fingers re-familiarize themselves with each other. Brittany rubbed her thumb over Santana's and then paused to let Santana do the same.
Santana couldn't help but ignore the movie and lock her eyes on the blonde next to her. She didn't really think of it as staring. She was appreciating how cute Brittany looked. It reminded her yet again of why she loved Brittany so much.
"You have a bad habit of staring, you know that right?" She kept her eyes forward, but Santana saw the corner of her lip curl up.
"Well I wouldn't have to stare if you weren't so beautiful." Santana's voice was soft and that broke Brittany's gaze from the TV. She looked over to Santana and her eyes were the brightest blue Santana had ever seen them. Santana couldn't do it anymore. Instead of Brittany climbing those walls, Santana lowered them.
She leaned over in the slightest and crashed their lips together. It hit her like a freight train. It was a moment of 'why haven't I been doing this?' But then she remembered. She pulled back and Brittany stayed put, knowing she needed to let Santana work out whatever she was thinking.
"Britt…" Santana searched her face for an answer. Brittany bit her bottom lip and locked their eyes together. "I really want to kiss you again…"
"I'm not gonna pressure you into anything Santana."
"I know." Santana leaned over again and kissed her once again. It felt like a wave of relief hit her. Brittany's lips were like the answer to everything. Being this close to her again felt right.
Santana forced Brittany back and she rested herself on top of her. Her hand moved to Brittany's hip and her thumb circled the material covering the flesh.
Brittany grabbed the back of Santana's neck and moved her other hand to her cheek. Both of them kept their hands there. Brittany was timid to do anything without Santana doing it first.
Their kisses turned lazy after a while and Santana pulled back to catch her breath. She touched their foreheads together. "So much for scouts honor huh?" Brittany giggled beneath her.
"I guess I'm not too good at promises am I?" Santana opened her eyes and propped herself up so she could see Brittany.
"Don't say that." Brittany propped herself up and Santana moved so she was sitting up.
"Why? I screwed up Santana." Brittany sighed in frustration and picked at the material of a blanket.
"Brittany, you hurt me yes. But clean slate remember? And what you've been doing for the past two weeks has been holding your promise. You promised you would let me know how much you care and Brittany you have. You've proved yourself."
Her eyes finally caught Brittany's and she gave her a reassuring gaze. Brittany gave her a small smile.
"I still feel like you don't trust me Santana. And I understand. But you have to know that I feel horrible about what happened. I've had a lot of time to think about it and I understand now that I took you for granted. I didn't appreciate how much you loved me and how much I loved you until I almost lost that. You're everything to me Santana."
"And you're everything to me too Brittany. But you need to stop beating yourself up. I forgave you before you even said sorry. I just needed the time as a disclaimer." Brittany let out a little giggle. "What's funny?" Santana lifted one eyebrow.
"Nothing, I guess…" Brittany started to laugh more now. "I'm still your disclaimer?" Santana remembered that conversation and started laughing along with Brittany.
"Yeah, you still are and as far as I'm concerned you always will be." Brittany nodded.
"Me too from now on." Santana leaned over and kissed her.
"I should get going." Brittany nodded and moved with Santana towards the door. She opened it and started to follow her out but Santana stopped her. "It's okay. I need the walk to myself." Brittany sucked in her bottom lip and looked to the ground before looking back up at Santana.
"I had a nice time San."
"I did too."
Brittany grabbed Santana's hand and kissed it softly. "I'll be here when you want to come back Santana."
Santana gave her a faint grin. "I know Britt. I'll be back soon. Promise."
Okay and that's where I'm going to end it! I hope you enjoyed it.
