Elevator 5/?Title: ElevatorPairing: Santana/Brittany, Quinn/RachelRating: PG-13Summary: Santana meets Quinn's cousin, Brittany, and one night turns into a future. Spoilers: None. AU.Disclaimer: Don't own these folks.It had been a full two weeks since Brittany arrived and Santana had been enjoying the fact that she had some alone time. She loved hanging out with her friends and Brittany but she too required her space.
n this specific day she was catching up on her DVR when she got a visit from Quinn asking if she could drop by Rachel`s house to aid her with something. It wasn`t that she didn`t need to help; it was the fact that she required to go to Rachel`s house that bothered her. Rachel had a decent sized townhouse by the beach and as gorgeous as it was, Santana hated the place. It had stairs, strike one. The neighbors had two young kids who loved to have noise all day, strike two. Rachel Berry owned it, strike three.When she got to the home she rang the bell and waited for Quinn to answer, but that never came. On the former face was Rachel, smiling her stupid smile that Santana hated. "Hey Santana, come in," she said. Santana gave a quick smile and walked inside, happy to be out of the cold at least. Winter was dead a tangible thing in Los Angeles."So where`s Quinn?""She`s at work, didn`t she say you?" Santana paused her movement and glared at the daughter in presence of her. "Hold up, she told me to get over here because she needed my service with something. I thinking you were somewhere else being farcical and that`s why she needed me.""Sorry to disappoint you but I`m home and Quinn is at work.""Well, at least you acknowledge you`re disappointing me. So what the hell do you need?""I`m throwing Brittany a company once she makes her move permanent and I ask help setting things up." Santana just shook her brain at the whole situation."First of all Berry, she hasn`t even gone back home to take her make up and you`re already getting ready for her party? Second of all, I drove all the way over hither for nothing.""It`s better to begin planning early Santana, we should make certain that we make a definite guest list and enough time to make in regards to entertainment and food.""I don`t need to be here, at all. I only wish you to realize that.""It`s been established, now can we discuss other things? A guest list, perhaps." Santana threw herself on the frame and looked up at Rachel."Fine, you`ve got one minute with me before I recollect how often I dislike you and this whole place so let`s get to work." Rachel bounced to the former position of the way and grabbed a notebook before winning a place adjacent to Santana. "Invite the regulars, of course," she stated. "Should we distinguish them all to bring someone?""Think of the masses we fall out with Rachel, do you truly need to hold them that freedom?" "Noted. Do you let anyone from work you need to invite?""I guess Tina, but she falls under regulars. I`d invite my interns but there`s so often amiss with that I wouldn`t even know where to begin," she said, shaking her head."It might be full to let them enjoy a night about you where it isn`t only about work, you could get to acknowledge them improve and they might be less scared of you.""Why would I wish them to find comfortable? Better yet, why would I desire them to not fear me?""Never mind, just thought you might require to remember about it. I can have Quinn invite them if you don`t need to really be the one to continue the invitation their way.""Next!" Santana yelled. Rachel rolled her eyes and looked down at her notebook. "How many people do we make so far?""The same measure we ever suffer when you`re involved in party planning.""See, this wasn`t hard at all. We get along great when you close up and mind to me. I can get used to this.""It shouldn`t be difficult because you`re doing something for your girlfriend, me being involved shouldn`t even matter." Santana was still stuck on Rachel using the word girlfriend to still pay attention to what else was happening. She liked Brittany, as more than a friend, but to say she was her girlfriend might have been a stint at this point. Two weeks had passed and they had spent more than adequate time together but neither of them was jumping at the opportunity to cause more. Santana definitely wasn`t. It took a lot out of her to actually not go out at night with friends and picking up cute girls she took a liking to; she had to hold her old tendencies to spare Brittany`s feelings. If she made Brittany her girlfriend that meant that any theory of passing out and having as much fun as she had before was thrown out the window. "She`s not my girlfriend, she`s my friend," Santana finally stated. Rachel looked up from her notebook and raised an eyebrow. "Brittany, the girl you were talking about, she`s not my girlfriend. We fall out and we experience fun but she`s not my girlfriend.""Well you could have fooled me Santana, I think the girl spent more time at your apartment than she did at Quinn`s during her all time here. She didn`t decide on a home to rent until she got your approval, she didn`t buy a car until you showed up at the franchise and told her you liked the colour and handled all the paperwork, and she sure doesn`t yell out my name in the centre of the dark when you two lock yourselves in Quinn`s guest room.""So I wish to require charge of her, big deal," Santana said, rolling her eyes. "And I love her something lovely when I`m bored and desire to piss Quinn off, that doesn`t mean we`re girlfriends.""I`d hate to be in a kinship with you," Rachel mumbled."Whoa! Negative! That`s a huge negative, Berry. You can`t use that phrase when speaking of yourself and me. That`s rude on so many levels.""I`m just trying to produce a point Santana. I`d hope someone I did all that with would relate to me as their girlfriend because it certainly sounds like that`s what you two are.""I should have stopped Quinn from approaching you at that bookstore.""Now that`s rude!""You broke my number one formula in life so I`m going to state my belief no matter how you look about it. Now, for food, we should get everything you don`t approve of because it means other people will know it and I`ll take charge of the drinks. Entertainment will be in the work of me plugging my iPod into your speakers," Santana said. Rachel began quickly jotting everything down instead of trying to fight Santana on her ideas, she had learned from past experience. "Anything else?""I guess that covers everything you could serve me with, the lie is up to me. I saw the itinerary Quinn made out for Brittany and she leaves in two days, spends a week back home getting all her stuff packed up, and so she comes back so I guess we`ll have her a full two years to lie before we have the party.""Whatever you say Berry, I told you what I wanted.""Good." Santana nodded and stood up, ready to have her way towards the door, when something caught her eye. She saw a film of Rachel and Quinn on the fireplace mantel under the mounted TV. "When did you guys accept that project over there?" Rachel followed Santana`s finger and smiled."A few months ago, we went on that hiking trip that you so rudely blew off the day before we were scheduled to go. I have never met someone as indolent as you, by the way.""It`s a cool picture, Berry. You guys look all glad and old and relationshipy.""Thanks, I guess," she said, not certain whether she should feel insulted or complimented. "Is this what people in a relationship do? They put pictures of themselves out so others can see?""No Santana, they put pictures out so they can see. I wish to be reminded of the fun times Quinn and I shared.""Hm, that`s interesting," she said, outlining the photograph frame with her finger before turning round to appear at Rachel again. She suddenly didn`t care what she saw. "Why are you smile at me?""You want a kinship with her.""Excuse me?""You want a kinship with her but you`ve never had one before so you don`t recognize how to access the situation. I finally understand it, I finally understand you! Quinn said I would never be capable to but I get it now!""Don`t you dare begin your crazy antics right now Berry. I`m about to go home and I don`t take time for this," Santana said, getting set to agitate for her freedom if it came downward to that. "I won`t get anything, don`t worry. I only want to ask a wonder if I may.""Fine but I don`t get to do it." Santana took a place on Rachel`s couch again as the other girl sat across from her. "Why is it that you never had a real girlfriend?" Santana threw her mind backwards and let out a loud laugh. Out of all the questions Rachel Berry could take asked her,thiswas what she chose?"Really, Berry? Alright, fine. I never had a girlfriend because I never wanted one. Simple enough for you?""But I don`t get it, there must have been someone you liked. I think you clearly like Brittany enough to continue spending time with her but when the idea of her being your girlfriend is brought up you just sort of freeze.""Some of us aren`t meant to be tied down, I love having freedom.""Freedom? I haven`t seen you feel at another girl or talk about another girl since Brittany arrived. Where is this freedom you know so much?""I may be a kick but I won`t be disrespectful to somebody who doesn`t deserve it. Brittany hasn`t done anything for me to suddenly go flirt with another girl properly in her face.""So when she goes back home you`re gonna enjoy this freedom you`re talking around? You seriously consider you can just forget about her wish that and so when she comes backwards everything will go back to how it is now?""I don`t do relationships Berry, that`s how it is.""Why not?""Because I don`t.""But why?""Nicole Jackson, that`s why!" Both girls took a deep breath as silence filled the room. Santana didn`t wish to continue going but she saw the expression in Rachel`s eyes. There was no turning back, Rachel broke through her and there was no way Santana would be capable to fly the living way in one piece. Rachel would certainly kill her before she allowed her to leave. "Look, she was my first serious crush and I swore she would be the daughter I end up with later on in spirit and everything, but she wasn`t that girl. She kept me about for convenience and I told myself that would never occur to me again and here we are today.""So you don`t need to notice that Brittany is your girlfriend because some girl broke your eye a lot of years ago?""She didn`t break my heart, Berry. Let`s make that clear, she didn`t just fucking break my heart. I came out to the universe because of her, I missed some of my best friends because she said they didn`t care her, and I neglected my house for more than 3 days because she swore they wanted to save us apart. So no, she didn`t break my heart; she fucking ripped it out of my breast and threw it into the ocean. I`m not getting that back, ever.""Santana, I-I don`t recognize what to say. I didn`t know. I think I ever figured something had to have happened to hit you act the way you do but I never-I never thinking it was something so painful.""Yeah. She called me one dark and told me she had a new girl she liked and that was that. So that`s why I don`t want a girlfriend, Berry.""Brittany wouldn`t do that to you.""Stranger shit has happened," she said. Rachel just nodded her mind and gave a kindly smile. "I`m okay the way this is going.""I see now," Rachel replied. Santana threw her hands up before lifting herself off the couch. "Where are you going?""Therapy session is complete and I make a day off from work so I`d sooner not consume it being stuck here with you," she said, throwing a smile Rachel`s way, erasing all promise of Rachel actually taking her seriously. "I won`t tell anyone, you know." She nodded and grabbed her car keys. "Thanks." When she opened the front door she took one step away before turning back towards the other girl. "You got anything to do today Berry?""No.""Come on, it`s been a while since I did something for charity. Grab your shop and let`s go make your wish come true, a all day spent getting to acknowledge my life." It could perhaps have been the worst idea Santana had to see but at least she had a few hours to abuse Rachel without Quinn being able to start in and preserve the shorter girl. ~Santana pulled up to Quinn`s apartment and off her car off. It had been a while since a spark to Quinn`s meant unpleasant conversation but it was certain to go into that right now. She looked over at the girl seated in the passenger seat and shook her head. "Rachel, wake up." She shoved her gently and waited for her eyes to open. "Are we here already?" Rachel mumbled. Santana nodded and open her door, stepping outside. She grabbed her cap and purse from the backseat and waited for Rachel to get her belongings out before locking the car. "I acknowledge it won`t mean much but if you`re taking requests, I`d wish to put one in. Please don`t damage her face, I`d appreciate it if Quinn still resembled herself after you finish your unpleasant speech." "No promises will be made." Rachel let out a sigh and followed Santana into the building. Once they reached Quinn`s apartment they each reached into their purse for the key, both wanting to get in before the other. Santana didn`t want Rachel to provide any case of warning while Rachel feared for the guard of her girlfriend. "Santana?" They quickly spun around and saw Quinn`s neighbor from two doors down standing in face of his apartment. "It`s been a while, how have you been?" "Busy. Got a daughter now, fucking her on a steady basis. You remember Rachel, right? She loves to talk, you two should speak to each other."Rachel gasped while Santana took the chance to angle her key out and press her way into Quinn`s apartment first. Rachel followed and slammed the doorway behind her, hoping Quinn would get on. "Fabray!""Santana she`s fragile!" "Shut your mouth Berry, it`ll be less terrible for everyone." "Santana!""I`m changing my name as shortly as I give the prospect just so you`ll stop saying that shit. Seriously, where the hump is Fabray?" Quinn`s bedroom door open and Santana immediately ran towards it, hoping to eliminate any probability of it being slammed and locked. "I`m going to down you!" She yelled, closing her eyes and flinging her body into the mortal on the former side. "What did I do?" She quickly took a step backward and looked at the individual in presence of her. "Brittany? What the hell? Why are you in Quinn`s room?" "She told me to arrive in hither and aid her face for a slipper. Then she said she forgot to release her oven off so she left. She hasn`t come back yet, I suppose she got lost." Santana let out a grunt and went backward into the living room, not bothering to excuse anything to Brittany. What she saw was an empty apartment, including no Rachel Berry. "That sneaky Oompa Loompa. She warned her somehow." "I know that movie!" Brittany squealed from behind her. Santana turned round and smiled. "Hi Santy!" She launched herself into Santana`s arms, neither girl pulling off this time. "Hey, how come you`re here today?" Santana asked, leaving quick kisses on Brittany`s neck. "Quinn said she cherished to see me before I go back home, she said you and Rachel were being friends today so we hung out together." "I can`t believe tomorrow is our last day together. I`m going to escape seeing you whenever I want," Santana said, resting her mind on Brittany`s shoulder. She felt the other girl run her hands up and kill her support in a soothing matter. "We can speak on the ring all the clock and so I`ll get back." Santana let out a low mumble to substitute an `okay` and continued to sulk in her reality. "I know! You can rest in my apartment and then you won`t lose me that much." Santana stepped backward from the cover and shook her head gently. "Impossible. I`m going to lose you no matter what.""Oh. Well, I`ll lose you too.""Yeah?" The idea of Brittany missing her never crossed Santana`s mind. For some argue she was certain she would accept a harder time. Brittany was the character of someone you miss. Santana was not. "Yeah! I stole clothes from you and your pillowcase so I can make it at home. Then I can always pretend you`re with me.""You certain you won`t just replace me with a new girl back home?" Santana joked. Brittany didn`t share her humor though. "Of course not! That`s so intend to say! Are you exit to supplant me?" Brittany stepped further out and looked genuinely hurt. "Is that why Quinn wanted to spend the day with me? Oh my God! Do you like Rachel? That`s super rude because she`s dating Quinn. The married kind of dating!""Stop talking!" Santana yelled. Brittany pursed her lips together and stood awkwardly, not learned what to do next. Santana took a deep breath in before speaking. "First of all, there is no prospect of me liking Rachel in that way. Ever! She is the equivalent of a battery operated lawn gnome." Brittany nodded her brain in approval. "Secondly, I won`t replace you. The all time you`re gone I`m going to be running and when I`m not working I`m going to be in bed talking to you on the phone. I won`t replace you because I wouldn`t even know how to do that at this point. Okay?""Well, you shouldn`t only stay home. You can go out just don`t replace me, okay?""Alright, deal. Neither one of us will supersede the other." Brittany smiled and hugged Santana close again before she quickly pulled back. "What now?""Quinn tricked me!" Santana raised her eyebrow in a speculative manner. "She told me she missed a slipper but she never wears slippers. She wasn`t making any food, we ordered food earlier. Now she`s gone! She tricked me!""Yeah, she did baby. She knew I was leaving to remove her." "Hey! You called me baby!" Santana replayed her last remark in her head. She in fact did promise her that. It felt normal. "Yay! Now we both have nicknames. You`re Santy and I`m baby!""No, I`m Santy and you`re my baby. Baby isn`t a nickname, it`s a statement. It means you`re mine. Okay?""Oh. Well I desire to leave you a statement too. Can your argument be sexy?""You want to promise me sexy?""Yes. I command you sexy." Santana just nodded and laughed as she pulled Brittany in for a deep kiss. Quinn was yet going to pay, she won`t forget about that just yet.
