When: Monday evening, February 14 2011
Where: Santana's house
What: First Valentine's Day as a couple

---

This last week had felt like hell to Santana. She'd been bitched out by most, if not all, of the Glee Club for being a bitch. She wasn't sure where that had even come from. Shouldn't they know by now she was a bitch? She'd thought they'd just gotten used to it. Her complete breakdown in the hallway afterward had been embarrassing, and she'd been choosing to pretend it hadn't happened, but she had been happy Brittany had been there for her.

Then, with Artie serenading Brittany on Thursday during Glee, she'd nearly lost it. She'd confronted him and gotten angry, and he'd gotten right back in her face, something she hadn't expected in the least. She still hadn't quite reacted to everything that had happened properly, but he had seemed to get the message: no matter how shit had gone down, Brittany was hers now and she wasn't going to be an idiot again.

Finally, it was actually Valentine's Day, and Santana had spent the morning before school even started putting little gifts at Brittany's desk in all her classes; it was mostly just little boxes of candy or chocolate. Though she had left a box of colored pencils and a little notepad in one class; a feathered unicorn pen in another; and a stuffed rainbow armadillo in her last class of the day.

Now, they had the house to themselves, since Santana's parents had gone out with a group of friends for a Valentine's dinner. Santana was cooking and Brittany was in the living room watching TV. The blonde had offered to help, but Santana had opted to do this herself. Mostly, because she wanted it to be a romantic gesture, but also because Brittany and kitchens didn't tend to work well together.

Brittany had said those words in her head, written them in her diary, and even practiced them out loud to her stuffed animals, but she'd only ever actually told Santana she loved her once. Just after she and Artie had broken up. But with them not being completely out to people at school, they'd never said them again. Brittany had wanted to though. She hadn't exactly planned to say them tonight, but she'd been so overwhelmed with the entire day and especially tonight that she'd just said them. It was really no surprise, Brittany didn't have many filters, she often just said whatever was in her head. It had been hard for her to not say how she felt before, so now that she realized what she said, she was kind of nervous. But as Santana reached up and caressed her cheek, whispering those words back to her, her heart swelled even more than it already was. It was the best day of her life.

She just looked at Santana, that smile permanently plastered on her face as the Latina pulled away, taking the box from her hand. Brittany stayed quiet, not taking her eyes from those brown ones gazing into her own as she held up the ring and started to speak. Her heart was racing and her stomach filled with butterflies at the words being spoken to her. It felt like a dream, like the best dream she'd ever had, hearing Santana's promises. If it was possible, Brittany fell even more in love with the brunette in that moment. "I promise too, San." She finally said, after a few long seconds of silence. "I love you, too. Like, so much." With that, she pulled Santana back down to her for a deep kiss. "This is the best Valentine's Day ever." She said, still smiling as she held up her hand and admired her ring. "Do you want me to put your necklace on?"

Santana smiled softly, kissing her girlfriend deeply back, one hand moving to cup the back of her neck. Since the first time she'd said "I love you" to Brittany, right after her break up with Artie, she'd been too nervous to really say them again. She was afraid that maybe if she said them again and again, she'd get too used to it and let it slip out in school and totally blow their cover. It was stupid, but after the reaction Kurt being gay, she wasn't jumping up to volunteer her and Brittany as the first gay couple. She had wondered and talked to Brittany about how they would react, if maybe it wouldn't be as bad because they were two girls, and there was nothing those jocks liked more than hot girls making out, but she wasn't willing to risk it. And besides, she didn't want to belittle their relationship anymore than she already had by hiding it. There was more to them than just making out for boys' amusement.

"Yeah," she answered Brittany's question, reaching for the flat box containing her gorgeous heart necklace. She took it out of the box and handed it to Brittany, lifting her hair up to help Brittany reach her neck better.

"Next time I'll totally have to get you some bling." Brittany teased as she unclasped the delicate clasp on the necklace. Reaching around either side of Santana's neck, she clumsily attempted to secure it. After a few seconds, she frowned and strained her neck a little, trying to see it better as she continued to try. Finally, she managed to get it clasped and pulled back to look at it. Yet another smile spread across her face as she saw it hanging there, so delicate and perfect against Santana's caramel skin. Brittany reached out gingerly, fingertips tracing the outline of the heart before she leaned in and pressed a kiss to Santana's chest where it rested.

[iwannabedirty]

"No way, babe. You save up your allowance for something for you. I'll buy you bling." Santana knew how hard Brittany worked to save up her allowance, only to blow it on silly things for Santana. It was why Santana tended to take her out and spoil her in return. And she spoiled Brittany a lot.

Finally paying attention to Brittany's efforts to clasp the necklace on, she shifted a little bit to help the blonde out. Her eyes fluttered closed when she felt Brittany's lips press against her chest where the small silver heart fell. Just that simple touch sent shivers through her whole body.

"Why don't you go rewind your movie, sweetheart," Santana said. She slid off the blonde's lap, leaning in to kiss her forehead. "I'll clean up and bring us dessert, okay?"

[moretalented.livejournal.com]

"But I like buying you stuff!" Brittany said with a shrug. It was true. She always saved up her allowance to buy Santana things. She'd done this for as long as she could remember. Except for sometimes when she saw something she just absolutely had to have. Like that stuffed duck she saw at the mall a few weeks ago.

"We can watch something else, if you want." Brittany said, smiling as Santana's lips pressed to her forehead. "And I can help you clean. You totally cooked, I should help clean!" She stood up from her chair. "Oooh you made desert too?! What is it?"

[iwannabedirty]

Santana laughed and relented with a shrug. "Okay, you can help me clean. Clear your place." She picked up her own plate and nodded at Brittany's, leading the way into the kitchen. She rolled up the sleeves of her and turned off the sink to rinse their plates off. "And dessert is a surprise."

[moretalented.livejournal.com]

Brittany picked her plate and glass, following Santana into the kitchen. This was fun, having dinner and now cleaning up, it was like they had their own place. Brittany loved playing house with her girlfriend, she wished it could be just the two of them all the time. Maybe one day it would be for real.

Setting her dishes down, she pushed her sleeves up like Santana had and moved beside her at the sink. Handing her the dishes as she rinsed them off, Brittany smiled over at her. "It's totally like we're playing house. This is fun!" She leaned over, stealing a quick kiss from Santana. "And it's okay if dessert's a surprise. I love surprises! You always have the best ones."

[iwannabedirty]

Santana laughed softly, leaning in for another kiss. "I try, baby. Go on and pick another movie, and I'll bring it out for us, okay?"

[moretalented.livejournal.com]

"Okay." Brittany replied before disappearing back into the living room to find another DVD. The credits were just starting to roll on Lady and the Tramp. Walking over, she picked up the armadillo and smiled at him. "I hope you liked the movie, it's totally one of my favorites." The blonde explained as she carried him over to the entertainment center where all the DVD's were lined up. Glancing through the titles that truthfully, she couldn't read half of, she pulled a few out and looked at them before deciding on Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. They'd seen Mean Girls a million times, so she decided not to pick that one. Opening the case, she carefully removed Lady and the Tramp and put it back in the case before putting the other DVD into the player. Carrying the stuffed animal back to the couch, she sat down to wait on her girlfriend.

Santana had made their dessert the night before, using a recipe she'd found online that would actually make 24 of the cupcakes. She figured she'd let Brittany bring in the rest tomorrow to give to her friends, since there was no way they'd be eating more than four. Or at least she didn't think so. She set a few of the brownie heart cupcakes out on a plate and carried them into the living room, glancing at the screen to see what movie Brittany had picked while she set it down on the coffee table.

"Good movie," she decided. She held one of the cupcakes up to Brittany. "They're brownies and cupcakes," she said with a grin. "Taste?"

[moretalented.livejournal.com]

Brittany looked up as Santana came in, carrying a plate and an excited smile appeared at her lips. She sat up, trying to peer over the plate before she put them down. Her eyes grew wide when Santana held one of them out to her. Brownies and cupcakes?! It was the best thing Brittany had ever seen. "Totally!" She said, leaning over to take a bite instead of taking it from her girlfriend's hand. "Oh my God, San, it's so good!" She decided, chewing and reaching out to take it from Santana's hand, peeling the paper back and taking another bite, some icing sticking to her top lip. Licking it off, she grinned at the girl. "These are the best ever!"

[iwannabedirty]

Santana laughed, almost leaning in to lick the icing off for Brittany, but the blonde beat her to it. "I'm happy you like them, sweetheart." She reached back to the coffee table and plucked the heart-shaped brownie off the top of one of the other cupcakes and bit off half. "I have more in the fridge for you to take to the Gleeks tomorrow, if you want." She was tempted to do it herself, but she had her HBIC image (or what was left of it) to maintain.

Picking her own heart shaped brownie from the top of her half eaten cupcake, Brittany studied it for a minute. "It's so cute, I don't want to eat it." She said, looking up at Santana. But the urge to eat the brownie was more than her urge to keep it and she took a bite. "But it's too good not to." She grinned, popping the other half in her mouth and peeling down the paper more on the cupcake. "Ooooh." Brittany's eyes got wide and she nodded. "They'll totally love them! Can I give Becky one too? She's still my friend. Even if she's like, totally Coach Sylvester's pet. And she really likes cupcakes. Remember the bake sale? She was the only one who bought one!" Pausing for a minute, she remembered she'd actually paid for it. "Well, sort of."

[iwannabedirty]

Santana nodded, rolling her eyes a bit at the memory of that failure of a bake sale. She still thought it was weird that Puck's cupcakes had gotten sold so quickly. She'd never asked him how he'd done that, but now she wanted to know again. She shook her head to clear her mind a bit and looked to Brittany with a smile. "There's about 20 still in there, B. You can give them to whoever you want. Maybe give some to those band geeks who play for us?" she suggested.

[moretalented.livejournal.com]

"And Brad!" Brittany nodded eagerly, taking another bite. "He should totally get one. He works really hard and he's always there, playing piano for us." She explained, excited about having cupcakes to take to school for people. "I wish Ms. Holiday was still around, she would totally love these."

[iwannabedirty]

"Totally Brad," Santana agreed with a nod. It was pretty awesome that the band kids and Brad were always so willing to help them out, and it definitely was a cupcake-worthy accomplishment. "Maybe she'll be back someday," she said with a shrug. She missed Ms. Holliday, too, honestly. She had been a super awesome sub. Better than most of their boring teachers.

"I hope so, she was totally more fun than Mr. Schue." Brittany said, looking down at the remaining bit of her cupcake. A devious smile spread across her face and she scooped off some of the icing on her finger, reaching out to smear it on Santana's chest, just above the top of her shirt. Locking eyes with her girlfriend, she leaned in and slowly licked it off. "Mmmm." Brittany grinned, pulling away. She just couldn't resist.

[iwannabedirty]

Santana nodded her agreement, about to speak up when she saw that smile spread across Brittany's face. "Wh--?" she began but was stopped by cool icing being smeared on her chest. She stared into blue eyes while Brittany licked it away. Whoa. That was incredibly hot. She snagged Brittany's wrist and pulled her in even closer to give her a kiss.

[moretalented.livejournal.com]

Brittany gasped as she felt Santana's hand close around her wrist before she pulled her close, lips crushing against her own. Her stomach tightened, butterflies filling it as they kissed. She had no doubt that when she licked the icing off her girlfriend it would get this kind of reaction. She loved when Santana got all possessive like that, it was super hot.

[iwannabedirty]

Santana wrapped her arms around Brittany's waist and gently broke the kiss, just holding Brittany close. "I love you," she whispered, pressing her lips to the blonde's neck. "Let's watch your movie, okay baby?"

[moretalented.livejournal.com]

Leaning into the embrace, Brittany just closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling of Santana's arms around her own. "I love you too." She said, feeling her heart start to race just hearing those words. She would never tire of it. Not now that she'd finally heard them. "Okay." The blonde nodded, pulling away from the hug and tugging Santana down on the couch with her. Laying behind her girlfriend, Brittany wrapped her arms around the smaller girl this time.
