Dani POV

It was amazing to wake up in my own bed again. I appreciate everything Rachel and her dads did for me but nothing beats being at home. And even better I don't have Rachel to pull off my sheets anymore. I could procrastinate to get up for school as much as my heart desires.

"Dani, come get some breakfast!" Well, maybe not. It was nice to have my dad back. To be honest I'm still a bit hesitant with him. Like all of this is just too hard to believe. I've pinched myself a couple times but it's real. He's making a real effort, it's not perfect. He still refers to Santana as my friend and I corrected him the first couple times but the last couple times he corrected himself. It's progress, and I'm happy to be patient with him as long as I see him try. I haven't had Santana over yet, but it's also only been a couple days since I've moved back in. I came back the day after the tournament.

"I'll be down in a sec!" As much as I hate to leave my nice warm bed, my stomach has different ideas and the feeling of hunger wins my attention. I feel my phone vibrate under my pillow and smile. There is only one person that texts me this early.

Pom poms: good morning champ!

I won, by the way. I crushed it. I was so nervous but I think the combination of having my two favorite people cheering me on and the adrenaline of my entire life falling back into place just jolted a new energy in me.

Half pint: good morning love. how's my girl?

Pom poms: lonely I miss you.

I miss her too. I actually haven't seen her since my tournament, I've been reacquainting with my dad. I look at the clock, it's still early. Maybe I can pull this off still.

Half pint: well don't miss me too much, meet me at school in an hour?

Pom poms: that's like 45 minutes less I get to lay in bed but I guess you're worth it

"It's been more than a sec and now I'm about to eat your food!" I roll my eyes. Yeah, it's good to have my dad back.

Half pint: I'll make it worth your while

Santana POV

It's been 10 minutes since I've been at school and yet Dani isn't here yet. Ugh. I don't come early here for the hell of it! The nerds are barely arriving, that should tell you everything. But Dani asked me to come early and here I am! I missed time with my warm bed for this. I was just about to call Dani to rant at her about being late when I felt a tug on my arm and suddenly I was in the oh so familiar janitor's closet.

"Hey babe." I almost forgot that I was annoyed with her when her lips met mine and she gave me that smile that made me melt.

"Don't 'hey babe' me! I've been waiting for you and you've been in here?" I cross my arms and she just giggles.

"Yeah I've been waiting for you to walk by here, I guess I didn't plan this very well. I'm sorry babe!" She wrapped her arms around my neck and I get goosebumps feeling her fingers trace along the back of my neck. Her lips were inches away from mine. "Let me make it up to you..."

It was all over from there. Soon our hands were roaming everywhere as chaotic as our kisses. We haven't hooked up in here in a while, it was some nice nostalgia.

"You're forgiven." I breathe out as she tugged my shirt over my head.

"Thought I would be." She smirked before tracing kisses across my collarbone. This girl will be the death of me. I would have had a snippy reply back, but the sudden contact of her hand close to my core just wiped any thoughts I had. Yeah, this was better than my bed.

"P-please." Her fingers laid inches away from where I ached for them. She just giggled and pulled her hand back out my pants. "Are you kidding me?"

"Mmmm I don't know if you're ready yet." She traced her fingers along the hem of my pants before stopping at the button to undo it. I kissed her deeper to show her that I needed her but the little tease just kept tracing my stomach. I can't wait any more. I stick my own finger to wipe up my own juices she has built up and bring it back to her lips for a taste.

"I'm fucking ready." With that, she rips my pants and underwear down to...well go down for that second taste. Thank god, I was fucking gay because lord knows no man could thoroughly fuck me with their tongue like this. My fingers curl into her hair as she adds her fingers while her tongue did wonders on my clit. It didn't take long for me to reach my release. "Fuck!"

"Damn San, any louder and the whole school would have heard you." She chuckled as she sucked off the rest of my juices off her finger.

"Shut up." I roll my eyes as I pulled her in for a kiss, tasting myself on her lips. When we pulled away her brown eyes looked up at me and it was different. They used to always be filled with lust, and they still were, but it seems like they made room for love too. I've never had anybody look at me like this before and my heart pounded. "I love you babe."

"I love you too, San." She smiled as her fingers ran through my hair before stopping to play with the ends of it. "And thank you."

"For what?" She suddenly was shy and it was adorable. But it blew my mind because 5 minutes ago she was being confident and sexy as fuck.

"For being my rock. For loving me. Everything." I kiss her again and kept help but smile at the thought that I hopefully get to kiss her like this for a very long time.

"It's you and me against the world baby." I whisper and she just nods in return. I could hear the halls outside fill with voices and I know the bell is getting close. But that look in her eye has sparked something inside of me and I wasn't ready to leave our world yet. She sucked in a breath as I peck my lips down her neck and closer to her favorite spot.

"San, the bell is going to ring soon..." She breathed, I could already tell she gave up on trying to stop me, she wanted this as bad as I did. And our moans carried us through the bell and probably like 10 minutes into our first class. We will probably get in lots of shit for this but I don't care. Not just for being late to class but we will probably get all the looks that come with sex hair and hickeys. But I wasn't scared anymore, I wasn't scared of what people thought. I was out and I was proud to be out with her. I was proud for everyone to know she was mine even if they didn't like it.

I fell in love with Dani but I gained an even deeper love through all of this, love for myself. She gave me the confidence for acceptance and the beauty of what life can be. That's the greatest gift anybody could have given me. It's us against the world and I wouldn't have it any other way.
