Brittana: cannon

Chapter 10: Are we dating?

Senior year was proving to be a roller coaster. Santana and Brittany had a relatively quiet summer. Santana shocked the blonde by asking her to rejoin the Cheerios with her. She explained that she wanted them to experience everything they could in high school, and winning two national titles in the same year would help cap off an amazing senior year before graduation. To her surprise, Brittany readily agreed. It also helped that Sue practically begged them to come back to the squad since the Cheerios got beaten so badly at Regionals after they had quit last year.

They spent most of the summer doing cheer camp and practices and spending their time together getting back to being comfortable just being in each other's presence. They didn't go to a lot of parties, and when they did it was often with glee kids or they usually left early on. Spending time at one another's houses became commonplace again, and sleepovers ended up with the girls cuddling in bed. Slowly, they worked their way up to chaste kisses, which soon after became passionate kisses. By mid-summer they had gotten back to hot make-out sessions. Santana was afraid to go too fast, but Brittany never pushed her. She kept her promise and let Santana do things in her own time.

They had sex again for the first time right after the start of school. Santana never knew it could be like that. She kept her eyes open now, and watching Brittany while she touched the blonde was the best thing she could imagine. Watching while Brittany touched her was almost as good, as she saw how much love and adoration the blonde had as Brittany gave her pleasure. They shared words of love during these times, and Santana thought her heart would explode from all of the good feelings collecting in her chest now because it couldn't possibly hold it all. She knew now what it felt like to actually make love to someone.

Things were a little rough at the start of school. Santana and Brittany tried to help Quinn out of whatever funk she was in and get her to rejoin the Cheerios with them, but she refused. Then Sue blackmailed Santana into sabotaging the glee club again, which caused Santana to get kicked out by Mr. Schue. She hurt so badly when he told her to leave because she felt like they were rejecting her, but thankfully Brittany came over after school to convince her to apologize and commit her loyalty to the glee club.

Santana didn't even want to take down the glee club anymore, because for some reason she loved it and those losers she sang with. What Sue didn't know wouldn't hurt her, and it wasn't hard to convince Mr. Schue to let her back in. She got named co-captain of the Cheerios with Becky Jackson, which was both a boost and a hit to her ego. But whatever, she was still a captain.

Then Mercedes wanted to leave New Directions because she wasn't getting enough solos, and she wanted Santana to join the new girl only group that Ms. Corcoran was leading. Santana was highly tempted to join in order to be a featured performer, but she wouldn't join without Brittany. She promised Wheezy to try to get both of them to leave New Directions together, so she hoped she could convince the blonde to come with her. And Santana was definitely looking forward to performing in West Side Story, since it was a role that could really showcase her talents.

Santana and Brittany's relationship was improving day by day. Brittany was so patient with her, and Santana did everything she could to encourage the dancer the way the blonde had encouraged her. When Kurt trashed Brittany's presidential campaign posters she had made for him, Santana told her that she was the real unicorn and she should run for Student Council President. She was so glad when the other girl took her advice and started gaining confidence in her intelligence and her ability to do whatever she put her mind to. The only problem was that Santana still didn't know exactly where they were as far as their relationship was concerned.

They were kind of back to where they were before the whole Artie situation, with the drastic difference being that they knew their feelings and said "I love you" without hesitation. But neither of them had defined whether or not they were actually dating and if they were girlfriends. She was nervous that Brittany was fine with the way things were and that she didn't want to be her girlfriend.
