GIRL ON FIRE; @fiercepez - Tumblr Blog

You guys are giving me abandonment issues :(

Okay so the tracker says someone is still creeping on this which is hands down the cutest thing ever! So fear not noonie- we might not give you your much needed dose of these lovely ladies but we are still keeping them alive in our own little world. My partner and I still talk daily, and in our own little prompt-world, I promise you we already know what happens to these two.

My Dani was also who asked me to go check after all these years, and now I felt like you deserved a response. Even if you’ll most likely never see this.

SO, here’s the tea on what would happen to these two:

• They’d get engaged a month before their one year anniversary. San would propose post sexy-times cause can’t wait any longer. Obviously they’ll later lie about how it happened.

• San becomes a real estate agent while they look for their dream apartment - Dani gets her teaching degree and starts teaching high schoolers. Dani adopts a dog much to San’s dismay but she secretly loves him anyways.

• They decide to have a baby, Dani gets preggo after a billion tries and little baby girl Jamie is born. She becomes their pride and joy.

• They go through a rough patch and is almost divorced but makes it through stronger than ever and ends up buying a house on Long Island.

• San gets preggo with #2 and baby boy Felix is born though San gets postpartum depression and Dani is a fucking trooper and super wife through all of it.

• Four years later Dani convinces San to go for a third and little Ellie becomes the result.

• Dani enjoys “book club” nights with the neighborhood women while San prefers to look at her next shoe purchase. They’re their own little kind of perfect family and they live happily ever after.

If you’re out there someone little anon then hopefully this gives you enough answers to not miss us too much. ❤️

Also.. it feels super strange posting on this account but I would never dream of taking it down as this will be a memory to our precious and amazing naya nug forever ❤️

Her face matched Kurt’s, though his was mostly annoyed instead of grossed out. Where her girlfriend got that shit from, she’d never know. But it would never stop to both make her cringe and laugh. His eye roll was soon replaced by a serious look when Santana mentioned a movie, and Dani decided to bow out of that conversation. There was no fighting with Kurt or Rachel about what to watch, because she’d really just be better off talking to a wall. She’d leave it up to them.

Dani’s lips pressed against the top of her girl’s head, an almost automatic reaction to Santana leaning against her shoulder. She smiled softly after her kiss, and while some may think it was creepy, she enjoyed the scent of her girl’s shampoo for just a few seconds. It was the smell that she woke up to in the morning when she was curled up next to dark locks, and the smell on Santana’s pillows when she went to bed alone because their schedules were mismatched. It was comforting, but one thing that was different, though, was that it didn’t carry that hard to miss diner smell. The one Santana always complained about, the one they both complained about when Dani had been working there. Why wouldn’t she smell like french fries after finishing her shift?

When she started questioning Santana’s scent, Dani knew she was going crazy. What the hell was wrong with her? Maybe Santana had tried a new dry shampoo. Heck, maybe she was so used to the smell that she had gotten nose blind. All she did know was that she really had to stop sniffing her girlfriend like some paranoid creeper, or Santana would call her out on it. “Uh - Yeah.” She answered quickly, her head turning slightly so it was resting again her girl’s.

One of her favourite take out places was right around the corner from the loft, so it hadn’t been a hard decision as to what to have for dinner. Her smile grew, pressing another kiss the the side of her girlfriend’s head. “You know I would have waited for you, but, the smell got to me. I got you that shrimp you like, though, it’s in the fridge.” She knew she managed to be pretty convincing, and hopefully Santana wouldn’t question why she had zoned out like a weirdo. “You want me to get it?”

Clearly Santana wasn’t the only one who was exhausted like crazy. Dani seemed to hesitate for a few moments before answering her question, and she settled for playing with the girl’s fingers as she waited. It was understandable that her girlfriend had already provided herself with dinner, taken the time of day into consideration. She hummed at the statement, nodding slightly as she leaned further into her girl. The warmth from Dani’s body was everything she wanted to focus on in this moment. Her shift truly had been exhausting. She was still getting into the rhythm of how everything worked at Hooters, though she was confident that she’d have it all down by the end of the week.

“It’s okay, baby.” She mumbled, turning her head to give her girl a soft smile as she leaned in to press her lips carefully against Dani’s. The sound of leftovers in the fridge had her grinning happily. A shared passion of theirs was food, their undeniable love for it, and at the question Santana shook her head as she leaned in to steal another kiss. It lingered for a bit and she pulled back with a satisfied hum falling from her mouth. “Nah, it’s alright. I’ll get us some wine too, yeah?” She asked as she reluctantly got up from her comfortable spot next to her girl.

There was really no point in waiting for Dani to answer her question. They hardly ever watched movies without wine, and while Santana threw her dinner in the microwave to reheat it, she made sure to open up the bottle and bring out four glasses. As she placed it on the coffee table she turned to shoot her girl a wink, before the alarm went off and announced her dinner being ready. Santana easily grabbed the takeout box and returned to her usual seat next to her girl, her legs across Dani’s thigh in a beat. The first bite had her moaning and she gave Dani a look of gratefulness. “You’re the best girlfriend in the world.” She mumbled, her mouth full as she continued to dig into the takeaway box.

It wasn’t all too uncommon to hear that they were perfect for each other. They complemented each other in so many ways, and while sometimes they could butt heads over the most ridiculous, they always got over it pretty quickly. And that, most of the time, involved one of Dani’s favourite past times: enjoying naked Santana. Ever since they exchanged those three little words, their relationship seemed to grow exponentially stronger. Their fights were more intense, as was the making up, but Dani wouldn’t have it any other way. It was getting increasingly difficult to even imagine her life without Santana, and while that would have scared her months ago, she sought comfort in it now.

At least, she had been, until Santana started acting strange. Dani couldn’t quite pinpoint it. It wasn’t like they were spending less time together, or anything of the sort, but there was something off about her. Her work schedule seemed weird, and maybe Dani was paranoid, but she swore it wasn’t as it used to be. Her mind didn’t want to go there, and she had promised herself she never would - but sometimes it was easy to let it drift off to the ‘what ifs’ she was trying so hard to push away. It wasn’t something she was seriously considering - because they were past that, and she knew Santana would never cheat on her again. But it was difficult to push those thoughts away, especially when her girlfriend could act so suspicious at times.

It really wasn’t something she was going to bring up, because it wasn’t an issue. Not yet. So she made sure to push it to the back her mind, and it helped when Santana replied to her text that yes, she could go chill at the loft while she waited for her. Her shift had ended early, something about her boss wanting to shut down and drink alone for some sad reason, and there was no point in going home when she was going to meet in an hour anyway.

It would be nice to see Kurt and Rachel, too, and when she got to the loft, they easily all fell into their usual discussions. There was no Santana to make fun of most of what Rachel said, or complain about her shit snacks (which was basically just voicing Dani’s thoughts), but it was fun nonetheless.

Santana came in in her usual hurried fashion, and Dani half-expected a rant and half-expected her to huff and request Dani join her in bed. Her girlfriend hated the diner, and something always happened - but lately, she seemed a lot more cool about it. Maybe Gunther had finally given her a break. “Kurt’s complaining because he hasn’t had sex in weeks.” Dani called out while Santana was still on the other side of the curtains, and she giggled at the glare Kurt shot her. They both liked teasing the guy, and she knew he wasn’t actually upset anyways.

When Santana joined them, she easily returned the kiss with a small smile, and her hands grabbed at her thighs to pull them over her lap as she mouthed a reply to her greeting.

It was so easy to hate your job when you could come home and throw back to the beautiful sound of Dani Harper’s voice. Santana knew she was lucky. She let everyone know she damn well knew, and she didn’t give a crap about smearing her goddamn relationship in people’s faces. They were happy, people simply had to suck it up or get out of her grill ‘cause her girl was flawless. Five months together and they were still growing strong, especially after they’d confessed their true feelings to one another. Things were still pretty and pink, and perhaps that was why Santana hadn’t been able to tell her girlfriend about getting fired just yet.

The comment about Kurt lacking the horizontal tango had her snickering as she easily let her legs swing across her girlfriend’s gorgeous thighs. “Aw, you miss playing the meat flute, Hummel?” Her question was proposed with an exaggerated pout as she absentmindedly reached out for Dani’s hands. They tangled together and she squeezed at the fingers as she moved in to let her head rest against her girlfriend’s shoulder. Maybe Dani would understand. Maybe she’d support her getting her ass out of the diner and moving on, though Santana knew that moving on to a place with tiny ass orange hot pants probably wouldn’t be approved.

“What ‘bout a movie?” She asked, interrupting whatever everyone was talking about, because now that she was home, she wanted to have an enjoyable night with her girl. A movie night was always the perfect opportunity for just that. They got to curl up beneath a blanket, ignore her loud and annoying roommates, and just be them for a little while. Rachel and Kurt already began talking about how they’d considered several classics for tonight’s movie watching and while pretending to listen, she tilted her head back to look up at her girl. “You eaten yet, baby?” Her fingers were still squeezing at Dani’s as she shot her a small smile.

A TIME FOR EVERYTHING → DANTANA

If you open up any guide on how to make a relationship work, one of the first things you will stumble upon is this – don’t lie and don’t keep secrets from one another. Up until this point, it had been very easy for Santana not to bother about that advice. If anything happened in her life, Dani would be the first to know. There was no point in having a girlfriend if you couldn’t bitch to her about everything, right? Or so she would have thought, until the day Gunther kicked her ass out of the diner. There had been a couple of situations where she’d been running late, and despite having called ahead to clear it with the guy, he wasn’t very understanding.

When he pulled out several hours from her pay-check, claiming it was for her lost hours spend roaming the streets trying to get her ass to work on time, Santana had lost it. What she’d yelled, she still wasn’t certain of but half had been in Spanish and none of it had been polite. Perhaps it shouldn’t have surprised her that he’d kick her to the curb for the outburst, but it still somehow did. For whatever reason she couldn’t recall, she’d gone back to the loft that night and pretended like nothing had happened. If she played it cool, she’d be able to make it sound like she’d quit once she’d found something new. It was a solid plan, and one that resulted in no explaining of her fired ass.

No one had been hiring. Hours had been spent handing out her resume, but either the places were fully staffed, or promised to give her a call if something would come up. Nothing had come up. Nothing. Santana’s bank account was slowly dying, and she knew she’d be screwed and forced to take a cut out of her savings when rent was due. After another day of job hunting, she’d treated herself to lunch and overheard a few girls talking, and listening in had paid off. One place was hiring, and despite the opinions of her friends and loved ones, she knew it was worth it to not fall face first into the dirt.

Dani was already waiting for her at the loft, and she hauled her way up the stairs. Taking a deep breath outside the door, she made sure her jacket covered any signs of her uniform. She’d been an idiot not to bring her jeans with her, but she hadn’t planned on the girl to show up before she got in. Pushing the door aside, she forced out a smile as she yelled through the apartment while kicking off her heels. “I stink like the fryer, so give me a second.” Perhaps her excuse hadn’t been needed, since her pace through the apartment probably made it hard for anyone to hear her as she vanished behind her curtains.

It took her no time at all to discard the orange hot-pants, kicking them beneath her bed and letting the tank top follow suit. Without even taking a second look, Santana pulled out the first jeans she could get her hands on, and threw on a clean top from her drawer. One quick once over in the mirror made her nod at her reflection, before pushing the curtains aside with a sigh. “So, what are we talking about, or do I even bother to ask?” Her voice wasn’t teasing as she slumped down on the couch next to Dani, instantly leaning in to press a kiss to the girl’s lips with a mumbled ‘hi’. She’d tell her eventually, when things were easier and she’d figured out how to explain the situation.

Of course Dani had meant a shower together, but the correction was well appreciated. At least they were both on the same page, and she had naked Santana to look forward to after food. It would make for a perfect dessert, and boy was she looking forward to it. Dani laughed at Santana’s next words, knowing just where her worries were coming from. Dani could hurt herself without a sharp knife involved, so it was probably best to avoid them.

Washing vegetables, though, was something she could do. It wasn’t too time-consuming, and it really just involved rinsing them under cold water. How could she go wrong with that? She picked out a few, tomatoes, peppers, and whatever else she could find in the fridge that called her name, and placed them next to the cutting board once they were washed and dry. “All done. I’m a pro.”

“Now..how about you just let me watch while I distract you?” Dani said with a wide grin, tilting her head so she could press a kiss against Santana’s cheek. Cooking with Santana sounded fun, sure, but she sucked ass at it and getting to have her arms wrapped around her girl instead sounded like a much better gig. Her chin rested against her girl’s shoulder, sighing contently at their position. She could probably stay like this for hours and still not get enough. Dani knew she was all over Santana, and maybe it was a bit much. But there was no way she could help herself. That had always been the case with them. Even when they had just started dating, they had been immediately affectionate with each other.

What Santana lacked, Dani had and vice versa. Cooking skills weren’t on her girlfriend’s list of abilities, but luckily it was on her own. When Dani took care of dinner it often turned to take-out, or whatever she could throw in an oven and Santana was content with that. However, when time was on her side of things she enjoyed preparing them something. Company in the kitchen was always welcomed, and she nodded approvingly as the washed vegetables were placed by her side. “You are a true Master Chef, babe. You’d give that English bastard some true competition.” She chuckled, turning her head to wink at the smaller woman.

The kiss placed on her cheek had her smiling, and her free hand moved down to squeeze at one of the hands wrapped around her waist. “I think it’ll make my job at cooking us something a lot harder, but I’ve always been up for a challenge.” There was no way she’d tell Dani to move away from her, so instead she began cutting up the vegetables as she waited for the frying pan to heat up.

She moved carefully, not wanting for Dani to feel like she was in the way, and the meal actually turned out quite alright taking into consideration that she hadn’t had all that much to work with. “You see, babe –,” She spoke, turning her head so she’d be able to look at Dani. “You’re supposed to turn the heat down before something begins to smell burned.” A smile broke out on her face as soon as the words had been spoken, and she pursed her lips to try and kiss Dani as well as possible given their position. “Grab a few plates, and dinner is served.”

Dani knew exactly what her neck would look like once Santana was done with her, but she didn’t care. She could take the teasing from Kurt and Rachel, and her coworkers, and the roommates she barely saw anymore when it meant Santana’s teeth and tongue against her skin. It was probably her biggest weakness, among other things like witnessing how bendy her girl was or how freaking great her ass looked in a thong. While a shower sounded amazing right now (and would probably help get those images out of her head), one with her sounded better, so she settled to wait. It would give her a chance to watch Santana cook, too, which was always something Dani found fun. “I’ll shower later.”

When her girlfriend pulled on her robe, Dani let out a whine, and she immediately knew she was being lame. Yes, she wanted food, but that didn’t mean she wanted her girl to cover up. She pushed herself off the bed, and her arms easily wrapped around Santana’s waist from behind. Pressing a kiss to the side of the woman’s neck, she sighed because she knew she’d have to go to let her make food.

“Need my help for anything?” Dani asked as she pulled on a loose t-shirt from Santana’s drawer, not bothering with pants. It was pretty common for Dani to just pick something out of her drawers, having left some clothes behind from staying so often it occasionally happened to be hers, but usually it was Santana’s. “I can cut some veggies if you trust my knife skills.”

fiercepez

Santana couldn’t hold back the chuckle she let us as she heard her girlfriend begin to whine behind her. It made sense that they’d both want to stay naked, but she didn’t want to get food all over, either. Some chocolate every now and then could be hot, but spaghetti? No. The kiss to her neck quieted the chuckle and instead it got replaced by a wide smile. “We’ll shower later.” She corrected, not even turning around to let Dani know that she wasn’t teasing in this case.

The question about whether she needed help or not wasn’t a new one. Dani always seemed to try and make up for her lack of cooking skills by helping out with whatever Santana could come up with, and she honestly though it was hands down adorable. “I’m not sure I like the idea of you holding a sharp object in your hand while you could easily get distracted.” The words were teasing but had a semi-serious tone to it. Dani’s safety wasn’t something she’d kid about, neither did she like taking risks.

“You could clean the vegetables?” It took her no time to open the fridge, her eyes scanning across the content to figure out what they’d be able to get out of it. Perhaps some pasta was a good idea. “Why don’t you wash the tomatoes and whatever veggies you’d want, and I’ll show you how to cut it without losing a finger?”

“I have my moments.” Dani said with a wide smile. There was no sarcasm, no joking, no teasing. She was completely serious, Santana was the most gorgeous person she had ever seen, and if saying that out loud was making her sappy - so be it. They were both damn sappy these days, and Dani knew it was all because of those three words they had spoken.

God, was she in love with this girl. There was so much she wanted to do with her, so many places she wanted to go, and it didn’t scare her. Even the idea of bringing her home wasn’t scary, and well, she knew she was going to bring that up soon. She wanted to show her girl everything.

The kisses to her neck made the idea damn tempting, and she let out a quiet whine when she felt teeth dig into her skin. “You know I’ve always got another one in me..” Dani said with a teasing smile. It was true, for the most case, the two of them could be at it for hours until they were both passed out. “But..you, making me food..” Dani added, her smile turning into a grin as her fingers locked into her hair. She was hungry now, and Santana had offered. It was way too tempting to deny, with her stomach being louder than her libido in that moment. “Eat and then eat?” Dani laughed, her fingers curling to massage her scalp.

fiercepez

Dani sure did have her moments, and so did Santana. Public display of affection was one thing, public display of emotions and entire different one. She’d always struggled with the latter, uncomfortable with people she didn’t care for seeing the sides of her she preferred to keep reserved for the ones who mattered in her life. It had become easier with Dani, and she found herself shrugging whenever Kurt or Rachel would call her out on something. As long as said something involved her gorgeous girlfriend, it didn’t matter because Dani was worth the teasing.

Oh, how Santana knew just that. She didn’t like keeping count, but the amount of times she and Dani had spent the entire evening examining each other’s bodies had to be damn high by now. Neither would stop until the other was ready to pass right out, and that was simply how things were supposed to be. Her teeth kept grazing across the skin of Dani’s neck, her tongue moving out to soothe any spot that had required extra attention and the marks slowly showing had her smirk proudly.

Then she heard the way food, and whatever sexy times she had been thinking about was thrown out the window at Dani’s grin. It made her chuckle as she shook her head at the woman, unable to keep herself from leaning down yet another time to plant a soft kiss onto Dani’s lips. “Eat and then eat.” She agreed with another chuckle, speaking against Dani’s lips. “If you wanna shower you can do that, or we can save it for after dinner.” She proposed before reluctantly rolling off of her girl. Getting up from the bed, she stretched her arms above her head with a pleased groan before grapping her robe and pulling it on. If Dani wanted food, then food was what she’d get.

Her reply had been exactly what she thought, and with the smirk Santana was sporting, Dani knew she was thinking the exact same thing as her. “I’ll hold you to that, babe.” And she certainly wasn’t kidding. She would plan on teaching Santana again, and well, now there were just perks if she wasn’t going to be patient - which was almost a guarantee with her girlfriend.

Santana’s hands on her ass only meant one thing, and she knew that sooner or later, the girl would flip them around. She knew just how her girl thought, so it was no surprise when she found herself on her back, staring up at a grinning Santana. She shook her head with a smile, just to show how unsurprised she was by all of this. “More kisses it is, then.” Dani murmured, her lips pressing against her girls. These kisses weren’t hurried or bruising, they were soft and full of smiles, and they made Dani’s stomach flutter like it had been since Santana started trying to win her back again.

Her hand curled against the back of her girl’s neck, and then her back, so she could easily pull her down for Santana to be fully against her instead of hovering. “Absolutely stunning. Beautiful.” Dani kept on, whispering the compliments between kisses that were getting longer. It was so easy to get lost in Santana’s kisses, and she really could do this all day.

fiercepez

They weren’t vanilla, they never had been, and if Santana could cut out one label all together it was ‘boring’. Even their nights in turned interesting, whether it was a spontaneous pillow fight, someone joining the other in the shower, or a bottle of wine too many it never got dull. Santana wasn’t patient, she never had been and most likely never would be, so the idea of whatever Dani could come up with to discipline her was intriguing and quite honestly sexy as hell.

When hands tugged at her to come closer she happily obliged, her arms no longer supporting her weight as she lay down completely against Dani. Their legs intertwined as always, the kisses and compliments only making her feel warmer under the covers. “And you call me sappy.” She teased, though her lips quickly returned to Dani’s to have more. They’d come so far considering where they’d started, and to finally be this close to her again was a feeling Santana couldn’t put into words. This was where they had been headed the last time, and to finally feel and have what she’d thought about for so long after their split, was amazing.

It was hard to keep it soft and sweet for long as her teeth tugged on Dani’s lower lip. Her girlfriend was gorgeous, Santana didn’t possess self-control, so it was always just a matter of time. “I should probably go make us something before we starve,” She mumbled as her lips made a path down her girl’s neck, teeth digging into the soft skin. Her hands were everywhere, wanting to feel everything she could as if she was trying to remember for the days they’d be apart. “Unless you think you gotta another in you, because then I’m not leaving anytime soon.” Through the words you could hear Santana’s smirk, and she didn’t even move to look at Dani’s face as she continued to busy herself at her girlfriend’s neck.

“I actually think you’d kinda like me discipling you, babe.” Dani said with a quiet giggle, a smirk replacing her smile almost immediately. It didn’t take too long for Dani to pull herself up, so neither of them would have to keep moving to share a kiss. “This helping persuade you?” Dani asked with a smile once her lips met Santana’s again, pressing against them a few more times. This definitely wasn’t something she’d plan on doing to persuade her real students to cooperate, but it was hard not to play along with Santana.

Her fingers threaded through her girl’s hair, resting against her elbow to prop herself up. “You’re pretty damn gorgeous, I hope you know that.” Dani told her, after realizing that she had been staring in silence at the girl for who knows how long. Santana’s long, dark locks and her telling eyes were easy to get lost in. It had only taken Dani a few seconds to fully realize how stunning this girl was when they had first met.

She was so lucky to have her, and she often found herself so thankful that she had decided to take steps towards forgiving Santana when she had come back into her life. Her girlfriend was the most supportive, caring, and loving person she had ever met, and while it wasn’t the description most people went for when they spoke about San, it definitely was an accurate one.

fiercepez

The thought of getting disciplined by Dani sounded all that more appealing all of a sudden, and she couldn’t help but match the smirk on her girlfriend’s face. “Now that I think about it, I’d be up for another class.” Santana teased with a wink, a chuckle soon falling from her lips at the simple idea. The kisses really did help persuade her, as easy as it sounded, but people wouldn’t understand the power a Dani kiss had until they tried it – and lucky for Santana, no one would as long as they were together.

Her hands ran down Dani’s naked back, nails scratching ever so little against warm skin, before they settled on her girl’s ass. Santana really couldn’t help herself when it came to Dani’s ass. It was perfect. At every chance she got, her hands would be placed just where they belonged, and she knew that it never ceased to amuse her girlfriend in the process. “I need some more kisses before I’m completely persuaded, though the compliments are helping your case.” Her words were mumbled, as she was busy leaning in to kiss Dani once more.

Without any effort, she rolled them over, grinning proudly as she now hovered above her girl. They both liked to be in control that much was set in stone, though Santana had a tendency to fight for the top a bit more. “You’re gorgeous, too.” She spoke, her hands running up Dani’s waist before getting lost in her hair. Santana used the excuse to lean down once more to connect their lips, a smile hinting at the corner of her mouth.

Hearing those words still felt new to Dani. She had been saying them in her mind for a long time, but saying them out loud, and hearing them back - that was something differently entirely. They were both giddy as hell lately, hardly able to leave the other alone, and Dani knew it was mostly because of their recently declared love. As lame as it sounded, it had changed their relationship. Even though they were only words, Dani felt like what they had had grown stronger exponentially.

“Or when you’re trying to teach someone as impatient as you.” Dani chuckled. She should have known that guitar lessons wouldn’t have matched well with Santana, especially when her girl got easily distracted by pretty much anything that was her. She couldn’t exactly blame her, because she got just as distracted by Santana too. She lifted her head up, so her chin was resting against San’s shoulder and so she could see her better.

Her smile was only growing, slowly feeling like herself again. The nerves she previously had seemed irrelevant now, now that Santana seemed to agree that it was something she could do. “Will you let me practice on you, then? Or you still going to throw a fit?”

fiercepez

Santana knew she was impatient, and she’d gladly wear that label for as long as needed be if it meant hearing Dani laugh like that. Clearly whatever nerves had bothered her girl before were now slowly vanishing, though they’d been understandable. In some ways she was almost jealous. If anyone deserved to know what they wanted in life it was Dani hands down, but Santana couldn’t help but let her thought wander to the questions about her own future for a minute. It wasn’t time for that now, she knew, so she shook it off and focused back on her girlfriend.

The question made her lips purse in thought, as if she had to consider it. She couldn’t keep a straight face for long, and began to smile as she shook her head slowly. One hand moved to run back through Dani’s hair as she spoke, the other drawing patterns on her girl’s naked back. “Nah, I think I’ll be able to behave since it’ll be practice and all. Wouldn’t want you calling my mom and getting me in trouble, ‘cause we both know that she’d give me hell for that.” Her mother had loved Dani from the second they’d sat foot in Lima, and had only seemed to grow fonder of her during their entire visit.

Not that it had come as a surprise, her girl was perfect. “I might need a little bit of persuading, though.” She mumbled as she leaned back up to steal another kiss. It simply wasn’t possible for her to not lean in when given the opportunity. “Not a whole lot, and I’m sure you’ll be able to come up with something.”

“I didn’t, no.” Dani said. There had been no point. Her last year of high school had been rocky, and with everything going on with her parents Dani hadn’t even considered college. She wanted to get the hell out, to New York, and live the dream they had always denied her. Santana being so serious already about this made her lips curved into a smile, and she nodded slowly. “Yeah, we could. I guess it is worth a try.” She really wouldn’t know if this was for her without trying, Santana was right. And it was just an exam. If she did poorly, she could easily just pretend it never happened.

Dani let out a sigh, her arm reaching over so she could pull herself closer to Santana. Her girlfriend always knew what the right thing to say was, even though she constantly claimed that she was a woman of little words. “I love you.” Dani murmured against the girl’s skin, her lips pressing a soft kiss tot it right afterwards. There really was nothing else to say after Santana had been so patient and supportive with her.

“I just think - if I can’t play, I could like, teach, you know?” Dani said. Her words were still nervous. It wasn’t that Santana hadn’t managed to make her comfortable, but sharing what she had been thinking about for the past few weeks, about her potential future, it was a scary thing considering she wasn’t even sure if it could potentially be her reality.

“Of course it’s worth a try. If you don’t try, you’ll never know.” Santana knew that this was a big deal. It was for both of them. Dani was brilliant, she knew that, so now it was all about making her girl realize it as well. To boost her confidence, make some flashcards, and study their asses off if needed be. If this was something Dani wanted, Santana was prepared to do her part of making the plan become a reality.

There really wasn’t much space left between them, even less when Dani pulled herself closer and it only had her smiling like an idiot. Then those little words fell from her favorite pair of lips, her smile growing even more. They still sounded funny when she spoke them, though she’d become more familiar with them over the past week. “I love you, too.” It was funny to consider how hard three little words had been to pronounce at first compared to how easily they were to speak these days. Her head ducked down to get a chance of a real kiss, and even as it was quick it was worth the effort.

Santana was impatient, stubborn, and not the type of person who liked to dedicate a lot of time to just one project. Unless said project was shopping, drawing a perfect bath, or making her gorgeous girlfriend feel good. In total, the student no one wanted to take on, but somehow Dani had still managed to keep her attention for a good thirty minutes when she’d tried to teach her a few chords on her guitar. The attempt had been adorable, though impossible. In reality, however, Santana could see it happen. Dani had the passion, the knowledge, and the drive when it came to music, so why not? “Yeah.. Yeah, I think you’d be amazing at that, babe. I wasn’t exactly the dream student you’d hoped for, but you know – it’s different when you’re dating your teacher.” She teased with a soft chuckle.

I’VE BEEN THINKING → DANTANA

Dani knew Santana too much to not realize how much effort her girlfriend was putting in trying to make her feel comfortable. Her tone of voice was as soft as she had ever heard it, and Dani would be lying if she said it wasn’t working. Her words were encouraging, but it didn’t help the feeling of dread she was feeling. What if she couldn’t do it? Just like she couldn’t make a career out of performing, maybe she couldn’t do this. Dani knew she had to quit thinking like that, and she didn’t even know why she was. She had never been a pessimist, always willing to pursue her dreams. But where had that gotten her now? A crap bartending job and next to no gigs, making it clear that there really was no way that dream would come true.

“I know.” Dani whispered at Santana’s reassurance. If there was one thing Dani was sure about in all of this, it was that Santana would be there. Santana was always there. Whether it was when she got too drunk and needed someone to hold her hair back, or when she was bored at work and needed entertainment, or just when she needed someone to get her when she wasn’t feel her best. Santana was always there, that she knew.

She sighed slightly, her teeth over her bottom lip in thought. It took her a few moments, but soon her eyes caught San, looking at her girlfriend for the first time since this conversation started. “I just, I don’t know if I could get in anywhere.” Dani admitted, almost reluctantly, because this wasn’t exactly a side of her she wanted to share. “My grades weren’t exactly..stellar, y’know?”

All Santana needed to hear for now was those two words. That Dani knew that she’d be there through whatever she’d need was top priority, it always would be. They’d reached this point together in a matter of months, slamming against the unbreakable wall of love and the result was just this. The two of them basically willing to put their own heads beneath their arms while making decisions, as stupid as it may be, as long as it would benefit the other. With love came sacrifices, and if those sacrifices meant a cut in her sleeping hours at night do to her girlfriend needing help with future homework, then Santana was all for it.

It was obvious that this topic wasn’t within reach of Dani’s comfort zone and it only made Santana move that much closer to the smaller woman. A gentle smile was on her face when Dani met her eyes and she kept quiet until she knew her girl had finished speaking. “Don’t doubt yourself, D.” If there was one thing she didn’t believe in, it was quitting. Even when the world and your situation couldn’t get worse, Santana believed that things would be able to turn around with time and effort.

“I’m not gonna lie and say that grades aren’t a big deal, but I take it you didn’t take the SATs?” She questioned, several things about Dani’s past unclear. It wasn’t a topic her girlfriend brought up herself, so Santana knew not to ask. “We could prep you for them? Get you ready for battle and then you take it and we’ll see what comes from it? You’ll never know until you try, and that head of yours is screwed on right so I think you’d be able to surprise yourself, you know?”

I’VE BEEN THINKING → DANTANA

Dani chuckled quietly, not at all surprised by that. With what she had heard of Santana’s old cheer coach, having a college picked out for her wasn’t all that extreme. It seemed a lot more tame compared to the other things she had heard. Dani quickly noticed the adorable smile Santana gave her at the kiss, and it was impossible to resist pressing her lips against the skin once more.

Dani knew she was beating around the bush, but when it came to serious things like this, it was hard for her to be completely straight forward. It was getting easier, especially with the two of them sharing those three words multiple times a day now. It was really the only reason she felt at ease even asking these questions, and tempting the ground on her part.

“I -” Santana always made her comfortable. But the tone of her voice, the way she was looking at her, and how quickly she had picked up on what Dani was getting at, only comfirmed that she was entirely ready to have this talk. “Yeah. Maybe.” She didn’t look up to lock eyes with her girl just yet, because her mind was still busy trying to come up with the right words and thoughts and her eyes were still focused on her moving finger. Did she really think it was for her? Dani wasn’t sure, but with every stupid pick up line she heard at the bar, it seemed more and more appealing to her.

Santana couldn’t remember a time where she’d seen her girlfriend like this. Dani was strong, she was confident, and she always voiced her opinion. To see her like this was different, she was more vulnerable, and all Santana could think about was making her feel safe about the things she was sharing. It made sense to have a desire for more in life than pouring drinks and hand them over while getting a filthy compliment about your ass. Santana knew the feeling far too well herself, though she had yet to figure out what she wanted to do.

When Dani began speak, she smiled encouragingly, hoping it would help her girl. Unfortunately her eyes were never met, though it didn’t stop her fingers from continuing their swaying against the small of Dani’s back in comfort. “Maybe, huh?” She repeated, unsure that she could even recognize her own voice by this point. She really couldn’t recall ever having watched her words this carefully before, and she moved in to brush her lips against Dani’s forehead as she considered her choice of words before speaking up. “Well.. No matter what you want, you can do it.”

College might not have been for her, but if it was something for Dani, then she’d support her girl all the way through it without a second thought. “You know I’d be here.. Right?” She asked quietly, her free hand moving to her girl’s cheek as her thumb brushed back and forth against the smooth skin. “I’d help you out if you’d want to, and if you then figure out that it’s not you at all and you hate it, then you gave it a shot, right? There’s no shame in trying, D.”

Dani should have expected Santana’s answer to involve not having met her, because as much as her girl tried to deny it, she really could be a sap. It was one of the things she loved most about Santana, how she was actually so sensitive and loving when it came to those who were close to her. It was a side of her not many people got to see, and Dani felt blessed that she was allowed to every time she was reminded of it.

The question may have seemed weird to Santana, but it had been one she had been wondering about for a while. Toying with the idea of doing more with her life after coming to the rough conclusion that her gigs weren’t getting her anywhere had led her to wonder how Santana had liked college. Sure, she had known a little about it from previous conversations, but they had never actually fully discussed her time there. She let out a quiet sigh, her lips pressing under Santana’s jaw when she tilted her head up.

“Did you apply anywhere else, or?” Dani asked quietly after a few moments, watching her finger tracing Santana’s skin intently, her tone cautious. She knew Santana was never too comfortable with talk of the future, or anything that implied it, and she didn’t want her to shut down. And really, she didn’t want to put her own walls back up, because she was slowly getting comfortable with the idea of voicing her own thoughts out loud. Did she regret not going to college? She never thought she would, but the thought had been creeping up on her lately. “Like, could you have, with your grades and SATs and stuff, had it not been for cheering?” Anyone who knew her would be able to tell that her words came out slightly nervous, like there was more to them, and it was becoming obvious that there was.

To deny the fact that she’d thought about what could have happened had she not dropped out of college would be a joke. The thought had crossed Santana’s mind several times with different results each time, though it all led to the same by the end of it. It hadn’t been for her. She had yet to reach the part of her life where she felt certain about what she should dedicate it to, which was alright, though still a thought that scared her more than she was willing to admit out loud. Words weren’t needed around Dani, so she knew her girlfriend had picked up on it all by herself.

There was something about these questions that made her wonder just why they were brought up. They wanted to know about each other, even the minor details most would find useless, but this wasn’t just about getting to know more and Santana knew it. Lips pressing against her skin in a gentle kiss made her own turn upwards into a small smile and she shook her head at the question. “I wasn’t even the one who sent the application..” The words came out with a breathless laugh, the memory of the situation amusing her.

Dani was one of the most confident people she’d ever encountered, so to hear the obvious nerves in her girlfriend voice came as a surprise. With care, Santana moved her arm to wrap around the smaller woman’s waist as she rolled onto her side, wanting to be able to read Dani’s face as she’d speak up again. “I could have, yeah. Everything was great, I did good at Louisville, but.. It just wasn’t me.” Her fingers moved gently across the skin of Dani’s back as she raised a curious eyebrow. “You thinking it might be you?” The words were spoken with care, not wanting for them to be misunderstood at all as her eyes scanned across Dani’s face.
