Well…I'm writing this from a gingerbread house…that's new…haha, so many people shall be confuzzled at that statement XP

So, this First installment is about their First Fort. You remember making those, right? Where you put a couple chairs in a formation or whatever, then put a big blanket over them? If you never did that, your childhood is incomplete. I loved forts, I felt like I had my own rad castle XP Twas truly awesome. Anyways, read on. Oh, you don't want to read on? Here's an incentive: it has Brittana kissing. :D

We're getting better at this, Brittany thought happily as she kissed Santana. The two girls had been practicing whenever they could ever since last week when they had had their first real kiss. Everyday after that, Santana and Brittany would walk to one of their homes after school, go into their bedrooms, and pretty much make out. They did other stuff at first as well, other than the make out sessions, but as the week went on, the other stuff like playing games and watching TV was replaced with more making out. Brittany and Santana could both happily claim that they were pros with their newly acquired kissing skills.

They were currently up in Brittany's room, on her bed, lying down and locking lips, as usual. Catcake sat at the foot of the bed, watching them, wondering which one of them would come up for air first. Seriously, it amazed Catcake how these girls could go this long without air. Catcake, from her multiple observations, had took note of the fact that Santana was usually the one who first came up for air, so the cat's money was on Brittany to pull through and hold out longer.

And then, Brittany pulled away from Santana and gasped for air. Catcake gave an aggravated meow, slammed her paw on the bed in a fit of rage, and sulked out of the room, muttering angry kitty noises. Catcake is never wrong! This time was just a fluke, the cat assured herself. She'll get it right the next time…

Brittany giggled at her girlfriend. "Hey," she said simply, smiling.

Santana smiled back. "Hey," she replied. "What do you want to do, or do you want to keep making out?" Santana had only said that just to provoke minor small talk, since she assumed Brittany would answer with the latter instead of the former. She was wrong however.

"Let's stop," Brittany said. "I want to do something different."

Santana sat up from her lying position on the bed and crossed her arms heatedly. "Britt, we have the whole night to do other stuff. We're sleeping over, remember? So how about, we get back to making out, and then we can try something else."

Brittany sighed. "But…we've been at it for an hour, and I'm bored. Not that your kisses are boring!" Brittany quickly added before Santana could become offended. "I just…wanna try something…I dunno, new."

Santana's eyes widened. The way she said 'new', it was odd. She couldn't be implying…sex, could she? Santana's mind was clouded with dirty images. Oh God, Santana thought worriedly. I'm…I'm not ready! We're only in eighth grade! I mean, I know sex is super awesome, but…I can't just do it on a whim out of nowhere! This doesn't even sound like Brittany! Why would she even think of suggesting something like that?

"Britt…" Santana said hesitantly. "I…I don't think…we're ready…for that…"

Brittany sat up from her lying position and gave Santana a strange look. "You don't think we're ready to build a fort?"

Santana's shoulders relaxed. I'm a fucking dumbass.

"Oh…a fort." Santana felt like Brittany did when she tried to convince the science teacher that ducks created the universe, not the Big Bang, and then everybody laughed at her. "Why do you want to make a fort?"

Brittany almost bounced with joy. "Because we can make it outside, and then go in it, and then it'd be super awesome!"

Santana gave Brittany a weird look. It didn't sound that super awesome. "Why is it super awesome?"

Brittany shrugged, her blonde hair bouncing a bit as she did. "It just is! Plus, we'd have more privacy, seeing as my parents would be inside while our fort was outside. So we could make out during the night without them ever disturbing us."

Santana leapt up from the bed. "Let's make this fucking fort."

Brittany, bouncing at Santana's enthusiasm now that there was something for her in it, jumped up and grabbed Santana's hand, pulling her out of the room and downstairs. Brittany's father and mother were in the living room, and Brittany quickly asked them if they could build a super-fort in the backyard with the chairs and blankets in the house. Mr. and Mrs. Pierce agreed after a few minutes of persuasion, as long as Brittany and Santana promised to put everything back in the morning. Brittany agreed and then rushed off to the kitchen, tugging Santana along as well. Brittany commanded Santana to grab a chair from one of the tables. Santana did as she was told, even though it was pretty annoying carrying chairs between doorways without hitting something.

Brittany was quick and efficient about the process of making a fort, so it wasn't long before all the chairs in the house and all the blankets in the house had been thrown haphazardly around the backyard. Santana was exhausted. She was trying to catch her breath. Carrying all that shit had made her arms feel like they had been broken.

"Britt…" Santana muttered breathlessly. "You got some heavy ass chairs."

Brittany looked at her girlfriend, slumped in a chair, tired. "I'm sorry, San. But once we get this fort built, it'll all be worth it." Brittany noticed Santana roll her eyes and sigh. Brittany walked over, leaned down, and wrapped her arms around Santana in a tight embrace. "I promise. Like, supercalifragilistic legit realsies promise."

Santana couldn't help but smile at what Brittany had said. "Alright Britt Britt, I know it'll be worth it. Just…can I rest for a bit?"

Brittany beamed at her. "Of course! I'll start setting it up, and you can help me when you're not super tired, kay?" Santana nodded.

Brittany began arranging the chairs in their specific formation and tying the blankets together to form a super blanket that would act as their roof. Santana watched the blonde at work. Santana smiled at how deep in thought Brittany was when deciding where the chairs should go. Brittany hadn't looked this calculating since the time when she tried to figure out how four over X times eight equaled unicorns (she didn't care what the teacher said, that was the correct answer), and it was just amusing to Santana.

Finally, the blankets were tied and the chairs were placed. It was time.

"San, help me get the blanket over the chairs," Brittany said. Santana reluctantly got up from her spot and walked over, lifting one end of the super blanket while Brittany lifted the other. They moved it over until they dropped it, draping it over all the chairs. And thus, the fort was complete.

"Looks alright, actually," Santana said, surprised.

"I know! It's so amazing!" Brittany squealed happily. "What should we call it?"

"The Fort of Santana," Santana said, laughing.

"No," Brittany began.

"Fine, the Fort of Brittany," Santana caved.

"No, I mean, I think it should have both our names, but the Fort of Brittany and Santana seems to long…we gotta shorten it." Brittany went into her thinking mode.

"Er…shorten it how?" Santana asked.

"Maybe…I know! The Fort of Brittana!" Brittany said, beaming at her girlfriend.

"A combination of our names? That's so lame," Santana said.

Brittany just grinned at her. "Psh, you looooooove it sooooooo much!" Then, Brittany's grin disappeared as she remembered something. "Wait here, I'll be right back!" And with that, Brittany ran off back into the house. Santana, confused and getting bored waiting for Brittany, thought of going inside the newly christened fort, but before she could even peek, the bubbly blonde had returned with another blanket, a flashlight, some pillows, a book and Catcake by her side. "Sorry, just needed to get some stuff for the night. Alright, let's go in!" With that, Brittany got to her knees and crawled inside the fort, items in hand, with Catcake following closely behind. "Oh my rainbows! San, come look, this is so awesome!"

Santana got to her knees (much to her annoyance, as she was now probably going to get grass stains all over her pajama pants) and crawled in after Brittany. Although it was only a tiny area sealed off by chairs and a blanket, Santana did have to admit it was pretty cool, only for the fact that it was like they had their own little secret base. Other than that, not much especially awesome about it. It pissed Santana off though that she was unable to stand due to the blanket roof being in her way, so she'd have to stick to crawling.

"San, over here!" Brittany's voice sounded from the end of the fort. Santana looked over to see that Brittany had set up where they'd be sleeping, which is why she had the pillows and extra blanket. Santana, ready for some more making out, crawled over to the lying form of Brittany and lay down beside her, resting her head on the pillow. She pulled the covers over both of them. Catcake gave a meow from the end of the blanket, which was where the cat sat.

Just as Santana was leaning in for an oh so sweet lady kiss from her sweet lady, Brittany stopped her. "Hey San?"

Santana, forcing herself not to groan in annoyance, stopped leaning in. "Yeah?"

"Could you um…read to me?" Brittany asked, blushing.

Santana paused. "Er…what?"

Brittany blushed more, holding up the book she brought. "Well…I'm on the third Harry Potter book…and sometimes it's hard for me to read alone. I mean, I can read, but it isn't easy for me…I guess I'm kinda dumb like that."

Santana shook her head. "Brittany, that doesn't make you dumb. In fact, you're not dumb at all. You just get confused sometimes, that's all. It's totally fine."

"Really?"

"Yup," Santana assured. Santana was hoping all this emotional stuff was leading to a ridiculously awesome make out session. Not that she made up those words to get a make out session, no, she meant them, but she really wanted to the blonde right now. It didn't help that Brittany's lips looked so damn good right now.

Brittany looked to be on the brink of tears. "San…I…you're the best. Just…you're the best girlfriend ever!" Brittany hugged her tightly, making Santana smile. This is totally gonna lead to a make out session! Santana thought excitedly. "So…could you read me the first few chapters?" Damn it.

Although Santana didn't want to read freaking Harry Potter right now, she decided it was for her girlfriend, and that she at least deserved that. "Okay, gimme the book and flashlight." Brittany grinned from ear to ear and handed the book and the flashlight to the Latina. Santana flicked on the flashlight, illuminating the Fort of Brittana, opened the book to its first page, and began to read. "Harry Potter was a highly unusual boy in many ways…"

Three chapters and many, many bad English accents from Santana later, Brittany gave the okay for Santana to stop reading. Santana sighed happily. It was finally over. But Santana gave a slight grunt of dissatisfaction as Brittany was half asleep now and dozing off quicker and quicker by the minute. On the plus side, though, Brittany had her arm draped over her stomach and her head on Santana's chest (Brittany thought it was cool to hear Santana's heart beat), although Santana would've much preferred the make out session. It didn't help at all either that Catcake was snoring loudly as fuck. "Fucking cat," Santana had muttered during Chapter Two.

"Hey, San?" Brittany muttered sleepily.

"Yeah, Britt?" Santana replied.

"I think we should live here. Forever."

Santana furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. "Why?"

"Just…it feels like the perfect home."

"And why is it the perfect home?"

Brittany smiled sheepishly, yawning. "Well, I've got everything I want and need. You, Catcake and Harry Potter."

Santana, hearing that she was one of the few things Brittany felt she needed, smiled widely. "I'm that awesome, huh?" Brittany just nodded. "But what about food and water."

"Psh, food's overrated."

Santana chuckled. "Whatever, Brittany."

Brittany giggled slightly. "I think I'm gonna go to sleepy time now."

"Eh, me too. But promise me one thing. Tomorrow, we make sure we fill our make out quota, got it?"

"I supercalifragilistic legit realsies promise."

"Good." Santana laughed a bit. "Okay, good night, babe."

"Nighters. Love you."

"Mhm." Santana's eyes, which were just closed, widened. "Wait, what did you say?"

Brittany only gave out a little snore. She was fast asleep. Santana thought about waking her up, but decided against it, thinking the blonde needed her beauty sleep. Santana's head was swimming with thoughts at the moment. Did Brittany mean to say she loved her? Did she mean it? Or was it just the sleep talking? Santana didn't know how to react to this. She liked Brittany a lot, she loved her as a best friend and liked her as a girlfriend, but she didn't know if she loved Brittany in that way yet. Then again, she was only in eighth grade. What did she know about love? But then a thought hit her. If she didn't know anything about love, then she didn't know what being in love felt like, which meant she had no idea if she was in love with Brittany or not. Before she could process that thought fully, her mind whirled back to lunch that day, when they were grounded. Brittany was asking her about love. Now it was clear to Santana.

Brittany S. Pierce was totally, undeniably, absolutely in love with Santana Lopez.

More and more questions and thoughts about whether or not she herself loved her back, or how she should react to Brittany loving her, but Santana felt her eyelids droop, and she realized it was too late to be thinking about any of this. So instead of processing more thoughts, she just closed her eyes and slipped into a deep sleep.

YAY FLUFFINESS! Santana totally loves Britt Britt, she just doesn't know it yet :P

So, I've recently became obsessed with Harry Potter, which is why I referenced it in this. Anyone else read the books?

Well, not much else to say. Oh, by the way, do any of you have a favorite chapter of this? Just wondering.

Also, it'd be super sweetles if you guys could help me out a bit. I'm having trouble coming up with a next First. Could you guys give me some suggestions for a filler First that I could use next time? If you could, that'd be awesome. You would be rewarded with double rainbows, hugs, and I'd let you pet Brittany the unicorn. So yeah, there's your incentive. REVIEW :P
