Tattooed Heart (Santana Lopez x Reader)

3:2 - I Am Unicorn

Santana's POV:

As the girl in front of me continues to talk, her hand resting on my leg with her thumb gently stroking my thigh, I can't help but narrow my eyes at her.

When she finally notices, her thumb freezes and her eyebrows lift." What? What's wrong?"

"Shouldn't you be going to Glee?" I ask her.

"No. I'm not goin back until you do. Mr. Schue kicking you out was bullshit and-"

"It's not." I sigh, looking down as I admit," I may not have directly set the piano on fire but I was a part of it and I definitely didn't do anything to stop the other Cheerios."

Y/n's expression is a mix of a frown and a pout when I look at her." So you made a bad choice, everyone has, that doesn't mean you shouldn't be in Glee anymore. If it were one of his favorites he would brush it off." She says with annoyance in her tone.

Reaching up, I cup her cheek, smiling softly at her." It's sweet that you're defending me but I was wrong. You bring up great points but I sided with Sue over the New Directions. Besides, I need the break anyway, Glee was starting to get a little suffocating." I shrug, dropping my hand from her face.

She catches it, lacing our fingers together and kissing my knuckles." I don't wanna be in there without you. You're like, 75% of the reason I go." A huff and sigh sounds from her." My best friend isn't in Glee anymore, now my girlfriend isn't either? This is our last year together and we aren't even together." 

"I know, it sucks." I rest my head on her shoulder.

"Also, I kind of went off on Schue after you left."

Lifting my head, I tell her," so go apologize. You love Glee and just because I'm not in there doesn't mean you shouldn't enjoy singing and dancing with your friends." She gives me a hesitant look, further confirming that she really does want to go back to Glee." I'll be okay boo." I lean up and press a soft kiss on her cheek." Now go."

For a brief second she still doesn't move, eyes watching me." Fine." She quickly kisses me then gets up." You're the best San." With a small smile, she turns to the door, peeking out of the janitor's closet before she leaves out.

Y/n's POV:

Lightly knocking on the office door, I lean in, my eyes instantly landing on my teacher." H-hey Mr. Schue, can we talk?"

"Yeah of course." The corner of his lips quirk up a little as he nods me in and gestures to the chair on the other side of his desk.

I sit, twiddling with my fingers a little nervously." Look Mr. Schue I-" I sigh," I'm sorry. I shouldn't have spoken to you that way on Friday. I didn't mean to be disrespectful I just-"

"You care about Santana, I know. You two are close and I understand that. I don't fault you for being a good friend Y/n." He says, still giving me a small smile.

"Yeah I do care about her but still I should've chosen my words better. I was upset and I was speaking without properly thinking. I get why you did what you did. I don't entirely agree with it but I get it and you've always only done what you think is best for us so again, I'm really sorry."

He nods, standing and rounding the desk." It's okay, apology accepted." His hand lands on my shoulder as he says," you've always been incredibly protective of your friends, defending them whenever you thought you need to and I admire that. You're a good kid Y/n and so is Santana, she just made a bad decision. There will always be a place for her in the New Directions when she's ready."

I smile at his words, nodding as I stand. I pause for a second, then give him a quick hug." Thanks Mr. Schue. You're pretty awesome."

"Thank you," he chuckles then we both go into the music room where everyone is gathered.
