Here's chapter 9? I think it's 9. Anyway, Dani and Santana fight in this one so I hope you find it interesting. I don't own glee.

edit-I just went through and fixed some stuff lol

As it turned out, Butler and Dani got along really well and acted as if they were best friends. They went to the movies together, played guitar together, and even went paint balling together-something Dani's other friends were too afraid to do. In the few months that they've known each other, Dani has told Butler all about her life in New York. She told him about Santana being her girlfriend and Kurt and Rachel being their Broadway obsessed best friends. She also told him about her working at the Spotlight Diner until her dreams of becoming a real artist came true.

Butler, in return, told Dani about his life as well. He's a junior music major at NYU, lives with his elderly grandmother, and his band, "The Shutdowns" play at a nightclub every weekend in hopes of being discovered. Like Dani, Butler has several tattoos all over his body, the most noticeable ones being the dragons, Chinese letters,crosses, and skulls that form a sleeve down his left arm. After knowing him for a month or two, Dani discovered that underneath the all the tattoos, gauges, and rock band t-shirts, Butler was a really sweet guy.

It took a while, but eventually, Butler was comfortable meeting the rest of Dani's friends. He was nervous about meeting them at first, but Kurt and Rachel welcomed him into the group as if he were an old friend. Santana, not so much. She liked that her girlfriend found a new friend to hang out with, but she didn't like that Butler cut in on their time together. It seemed like Dani would rather spend time with him instead of her. She stayed quiet about this concern as long as possible. But one night, she couldn't take it anymore.

"What do you mean you're going out tonight?" Santana asked, clearly upset. She had just came home to find Dani dressed and about to to head out. This was the third time Dani has canceled date night since she and Butler had become friends.

"I told you. Butler and I are going to a concert in Madison Square Garden," Dani said while putting the finishing touches on her make-up. She did not understand why her girlfriend was so mad.

"Are you being serious right now? Dani, it's date night." she said.

"I know that Santana, which is why I gave you a heads up about the concert weeks ago. You said it was fine back then."

"That was before you started ditching me for servant boy!" Santana exclaimed. She regretted those words as soon as she said them. She hated fighting with Dani and she knew that insulting Butler would make this situation worse.

"Okay, one, his name is Butler, not servant boy" Dani said, her mood changing from annoyed to angry. "Two, I'll own up to the first time I "ditched" you, but the second time we were talking to a music producer. You know that was worth more than one stupid date." Dani was walking away from her now.

"So now spending time together is stupid?" Santana said indignantly, following the other girl to their bedroom.

"It is when you're acting like a crazy, jealous girlfriend." Dani shot back, still angry.

"Oh no, I'm more pissed than jealous." she said. "You don't even realize that your little boy-toy gets blue balls every time you look at him."

Dani looked at her in complete confusion. "What the hell does that even mean?" she yelled, starting to lose her patients.

"It means he likes you and wants into your pants, Dani." she yelled back. Santana came upon this revelation after spending only a few hours with Butler. She noticed how nervous he gets when Dani sits near him or hugs him, and how he laughs at everything she says, even if it's not funny. The real giveaway though, was his constant staring at Dani. Santana knew he liked her then because it was the same way she would secretly stare at Dani before they got together.

Dani laughed humorlessly while combing through her blue hair. "Now you're just being ridiculous. Butler knows I'm with you and he wouldn't do anything to jeopardize our friendship."

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Both girls, still pissed at the other, stared each other down until Dani decided to make her way to the living room. Just before she got to the door, Santana spoke up.

"So after all that, you're still going?" she asked. She was still angry, but now she was hurt too.

"Yes, I'm not going to blow him off, Santana," Dani sighed.

"But it's cool to blow off your own girlfriend?"she asked, her voice cracking a little.

"It beats staying here and fighting with you all night," she snapped. The door was knocked on again.

"Then go," Santana said. "Go have fun at your stupid concert with Butler!"

"I will!" she shot back. And with that, Dani opened the door to a very shocked looking Butler. By the look on his face, she knew he heard some of the fight. "Let's go," she said, pulling him out the door. She didn't look back at Santana and neither girl said "I love you."

Butler finally found his voice when he and Dani were making their way to the car. "What the hell was all that yelling about?" he asked.

"Nothing you need to worry about," Dani answered curtly. She wasn't even looking at him.

"It sounded bad. Do you want to talk about it?" he asked genuinely concerned.

"No I don't want to talk about it, or her! Can we just go to the concert?" Dani was walking away from him before he could answer. They were in the car driving for 10 minutes before he heard it. Soft whimpering from the passenger side of the car where Dani was facing the window. Butler sighed and turned a corner, heading the wrong direction.

"Where are we going?" Dani sniffled, wiping a stray tear from her eye.

"My place. You're obviously not fine."

"No, turn around. You've been looking forward to this concert forever." She didn't want to ruin the night with her silly emotions.

"There will be other concerts. Right now, my friend needs a movie, some ice cream, and a shoulder to cry on," he said smiling. Dani smiled back, silently agreeing to his idea.

After getting to Butler's place and settling on the sofa with their ice cream, Dani began telling him what she and Santana were fighting about.

"And then she said you liked me, which is ridiculous." Dani finished explaining. Butler was quiet for a moment. "If there was ever a moment to tell her, it's now" he thought to himself.

"Uhh, it's not that ridiculous." he said quietly.

Dani frowned, "What do you mean?" Butler sighed deeply and put his ice cream down. He turned to face Dani and took her hand in his.

"Santana's right. I do like you. I tried not to, but I can't help it Dani. You're beautiful, funny, and you understand me." he rambled. "And when I'm with you, I just want to...I just want to-" The next thing Dani knew was Butler's lips on hers. The kiss was desperate, sloppy,and just...wrong. "So very wrong" Dani thought.

"Oh my God!" she yelled, pulling away from Butler and standing up. "Why did you do that?"

"I'm s-sorry." he said, embarrassed. "I don't know what came over me."

"Geez" Dani said in frustration, covering her face with her hands. "This cannot be happening right now."

"Dani, I'm really sorry" Butler tried again.

"Stop saying that!" she snapped. She took a deep breath to calm herself. "Just..don't kiss me again okay?" She moved back over to the couch and sat down next to him.

"I swear I won't. Never again." he said. Dani just nodded.

"Look, you're my friend and I care about you, but you have to understand something." she started. "I'm gay. I won't ever like you, the way you like me. And I'm sorry if I lead you on and made you think something could ever happen between us. That was messed up on my part." Butler just nodded his head.

"A-Are you going to tell Santana about the kiss?" He knew the answer but he wanted to hear it from Dani.

"We don't keep secrets , so yeah, I'm going to tell her" she said. "But not today. The last thing we need is another thing to fight about."

"I really do value our friendship Dani. I'll try my best not to act on my feelings again."

Dani smiled softly "I appreciate it."

The next morning

Dani woke up early that morning and was a bit distraught. She didn't know where she was until she saw Butler sleeping on the floor next to her. Apparently he gave her the couch and slept on the floor himself. Dani didn't know what time they fell asleep, but she did know she had a massive headache. All of last night's events came flooding back to her and she let out an exasperated sigh. She knew she would have to talk to Santana today and she was not looking forward to another fight. "What time is it?" she mumbled as she fished her phone out of her pocket. "Oh God," she groaned. She had 8 missed calls and 16 text messages from Santana, Rachel, Kurt, and even Santana's new friend Taylor.

"Fuck," she sighed.

Review enough and I'll upload part 2 tomorrow ^_^
