Yesterday, KAYE's Honey unexpectedly started playing on Spotify. What a great song.
Dating Brittany S. Pierce is everything Santana has ever dreamt of.
Brittany is the best best girlfriend ever, and Santana wants to shout it from the rooftops. Well, maybe not yet, but she's told three people (Kurt, Quinn, Blaine) and Santana doesn't care if she's annoying them, but she'll never get tired of telling them that she loves Brittany.
Kurt thinks it's "cute" that Santana is so open like that, but what can Santana say?
Brittany's changed her. Brittany is able to look past her cold façade. Brittany makes her legs go jelly, as cheesy as it sounds. Brittany is the reason she doesn't mind being into girls, because who needs a guy when you can have someone like Brittany Susan Pierce?
Santana really wants to tell people.
It scares her.
But she can't explain the feeling. It's not that she isn't afraid anymore. She knows very well how McKinley treats its LGBTQ students, but Brittany is worth the fight, especially since they'll fight together and they know the glee club will have their backs.
It all started with Sam. At least, that's what Brittany thinks.
A few days after prom, Santana asked over her best friends for a movie night. Her parents weren't home, so why not? Of course, love tends to ruin people's plans, because both Kurt and Quinn brought their boyfriends along.
And Sam doesn't know.
In the privacy of Santana's home, Kurt and Blaine are free to be themselves. Quinn and Sam are always able to be open about their relationship, and Brittany knows Quinn loves Sam, but she just wished she hadn't brought him along.
She could feel Santana's fingertips reaching for her hand a couple of times, but every time Brittany wanted to take her hand, Santana would pull away, looking unsure. It's not that Sam's a homophobe (Kurt and Blaine were literally making out in front of him, and Sam didn't even blink), but it's weird.
Brittany… Brittany is strangely enough at ease with herself. She knows that it'll be tough, but if her teammates don't accept that their quarterback is bisexual, then it's their own fault if they decide to quit the winning team.
But who cares about the team? Santana is all that matters.
A couple of days later, Santana surprises her.
"Are you sure?" Brittany asks. Santana threw her off-guard by her sudden revelation.
"Yes," Santana nods happily, "Yes, I am definitely sure."
Brittany basically jumps on her girlfriend and kisses her, and Santana happily kisses her back.
"Everything will change," Brittany reminds her.
Santana nods, but she's still happy. "As long as you're changing with me, I will be fine. We will be fine."
Most of Brittany's days are filled with glee club rehearsal and football practise. That's what happens when your glee club might become National champion in New York City.
The Camels game is also coming up, and coach Beiste is overly anxious.
"Yo coach, why the stress?" Amizio asks, "We got the best coach and quarterback in this goddamn country. Those llamas can't get to us."
"Camels," Puck corrects him, but Amizio doesn't care.
"Guys, I am grateful for your believe in me and your support, but the Camels are out for the kill," Brittany reminds her team, but apart from the glee guys, no one is familiar with Carmel. Just because the Titans are absolutely killing it this year, doesn't mean they'll win. And then again, for Brittany this game means more.
Her parents are coming to see her, and they're expecting a big win. Otherwise, she and Santana will have to try long distance.
"Two more laps around the field. GO!" coach Beiste blows her whistle and the others start to run, or wheel in Artie's case.
At the end of those laps, most of the players are tired. They've been training for hours and so far coach Beiste has only allowed one break. She must be really anxious about the game against the Camels.
"Pierce, practise your pitch!" she yells from across the field. Brittany salutes her coach. Brittany's pitching is fine, but she knows that her upper-hand pitch might need some improvement. She finds a spot on the field and gets in position.
Artie hands her a ball and they smile towards each other. It's still a bit weird between the two of them, but it's okay.
Brittany throws a couple of times, and coach Beiste watches her play.
"Pierce!" she yells, sounding a little bit stressed, "When you use your upper-hand pitch, it seems like you're having problems throwing straight."
Brittany looks across the field and she sees that coach Sylvester and the Cheerios have arrived for their practise. When Santana sees her, she blows a kiss. Brittany winks.
"I'm also having problems being straight, coach!" she yells back to her coach.
Behind coach Beiste, Artie's jaw drops.
Others are speechless- except for Quinn. It looks like she has to restrain herself from laughing. Santana smiles, pretending to know nothing.
Coach Beiste blinks a couple of times, trying to find the appropriate words to react.
"Wait, for real?" Sam asks, taking in the information.
"Yes Evans, for real. Now pass me another ball, cause coach is right," Brittany says, "I can't throw straight, so I need to practise to get bi."
"Wow, Pierce, who's the lucky chick?" Karofsky asks.
Brittany turns to Santana and blows even more air kisses to her girlfriend, who gladly accepts them. "Love you too!" she yells and other Cheerios are a bit shocked by the sudden coming out, but Brittany and Santana don't care for now.
Brittany's been dropping subtle hints for weeks now, but her mother doesn't seem to notice.
She doesn't notice the flyers advertising Nationals littered around the house, or she doesn't hear Brittany sing in her room from the top of her lungs. Maybe she doesn't care, but Brittany keeps on trying.
"Mom!" she yells loudly from her room, "I'm going to Santana's later today. We need to rehearse for glee club!"
"Okay sweetheart," Whitney yells back, and Brittany once again wonders if she's really heard what Brittany said.
Her parents know about glee club and about Nationals, since it's pretty hard to miss that Brittany's packing a suitcase for New York. Brittany just doesn't think they get how important it is. Brittany is the reigning quarterback, and she is not planning on stepping down, but she is also part of the New Directions and her song about a plastic cup might be the winner. She knows it's a simple song, but she worked hard on it and it made Santana smile.
Coach Beiste has given the glee club members on the team time off to rehearse for glee, since coach Beiste is one of the few who care about the glee club. Nationals is before the Camels game, so she expects better action of the team after the Nationals win, so she even stimulates the glee club members on the team to rehearse for glee.
Karofsky and Z aren't as bad as they used to, but sometimes they still claim that glee club turns people gay.
When Brittany's phone rings, and she sees that it's Santana calling, she wonders if they were right after all.
Time for New York!
