Santana's POV

I need to figure out what is going on with Dani, I'm not sure what she is thinking but all I know is that it has been a week since she has been acting strange. Is she sick? Is she stressed about something? Is it about someone in her family? Is it Rachel or Kurt? What if it is me? The end of our next shift together I asked Dani if she wanted me to walk her home. She agreed and we walked to her house, hand in hand. Once we reached her door we walked in and I sat on the couch. She went and got both of us some water and gave one to me when she sat down. She looked at me and I looked back with worry clearly expressed on my face. Then I started the conversation that could make or break our relationship.

"Dani.."

Dani's POV

This is it. She is going to break up with me. I just know it, I'm not enough for her and now she has finally realised it.

"What did I do wrong?" She asked. Wait...what?

"You have just been so distant from me and it's been worrying me so much so seriously whatever I did I'm truly sorry. I just miss you Dani, I want to be with you but if you want to break up with me at least tell me what I did wrong. It's killing me."

Wow, did she really think that she did something wrong. I feel so bad, I know I have been distant but how are you supposed to act around her when she could easily ditch you for someone better? But does she really think I'm worthy enough?

"D please just talk to me."

"San, I'm so sorry! It's not you at all, it's me! I just feel as though you deserve someone so much better than me, who is thinner, more beautiful, more sexy and an actual blonde and not a fake like me. I just thought you were going to leave me and I couldn't stop thinking about your ex and how perfect she seems to be because she is everything that I'm not and I don't want to lose you but I just feel as though you deserve better than me."

After I finished rambling all I saw was Santana looking at me, then I couldn't help it. Tears starting cascading down my face so suddenly that it was impossible for me to stop them. I put my face on my knees with my arms cuddling my legs which gave me the only comfort. That was until I felt San leave the couch and put her arms around me while kneeling in front.

"Dani you are so much more than you think you are, there is a reason why I'm here right now instead of with Brittany. And that reason is because you have the one thing she doesn't. My Heart. And she will never have it again because my heart belongs to you and you are so much more than you think. I love you and every little thing you have.  I look up and see Santana start to sing.

Santana: Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me
But bear this in mind, it was meant to be
And I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks

She then lets her fingers wipe away my tears and I feel a smile coming to my lips.


And it all makes sense to me...

I know you've never loved the crinkles by your eyes when you smile
You've never loved your stomach or your thighs, the dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine
But I'll love them endlessly

I won't let these little things
Slip out of my mouth
But if I do
It's you
Oh it's you
They add up to
I'm in love with you
And all these little things

You can't go to bed without a cup of tea
And maybe that's the reason that you talk in your sleep
And all those conversations are the secrets that I keep
Though it makes no sense to me

I know you've never loved the sound of your voice on tape
You never want to know how much you weigh, you still have to squeeze into your jeans
But you're perfect to me

I won't let these little things
Slip out of my mouth
But if it's true
It's you
It's you
They add up to
I'm in love with you
And all these little things

San then takes my hands into hers and stares directly into my eyes as she sings the rest of the song to me. I feel more tears come on, but this time they aren't sad tears but happy tears.


You'll never love yourself half as much as I love you
And you'll never treat yourself right darlin' but I want you to
If I let you know I'm here for you
Maybe you'll love yourself like I love you

I've just let these little things
Slip out of my mouth
'Cause it's you
Oh it's you
It's you they add up to
I'm in love with you
And all these little things

I won't let these little things
Slip out of my mouth
But if it's true
It's you
It's you
They add up to
I'm in love with you
And all your little things

When Santana finished the song she brought me off the couch and embraced me. I felt so safe in her arms and I feel as though the world stops.

"You are so perfect Dani, never forget that I will love you till the very end. Wait, no, beyond that because I will always be yours." She whispered in my ear.

"I love you so much San, I'm sorry for been distant lately."

"It's not your fault, I'm just happy that you are better now. And don't worry about Brittany, you are so amazing..."

She pulled away and stared right at me

"Just the way you are." She tapped onto my nose making me smile more than I thought were possible.

"Come on, let's go and get some ice-cream."

She then pulled me up and we went off to go spend the rest of the afternoon having fun and learning more about each other. Santana really is the one. She is perfect but she still has flaws and I have flaws but I am also perfect. It may have taken a while to figure it out but I now know that we are perfectly imperfect.
