02: and you feel like falling down
Like that time when Quinn has crumbs on the corner of her mouth from eating earl grey tea cookies and Santana just instinctively leans across the table to swipe them off with her fingers. She could have just pointed them out to Quinn, but instead she’s tracing lines on Quinn’s jaw and when Quinn grabs at her fingers and gently laces them together, she doesn’t jerk away.
Instead, Santana lets Quinn pull her in closer and then with both of them hovering awkwardly over that table, Santana lets Quinn press her lips gently to hers. Santana lets herself kiss back, fingers tangling assuredly with Quinn’s as her eyelids flutter shut from its simplicity and how amazing it feels.
Santana lets herself wonder, just for a moment, how and why and can I actually do this as she smiles against Quinn’s lips.
Author’s Note: I’ve gone ahead to publish this chapter a lot earlier than I had planned, mostly because it’s been BETA-ed and I wanted to give you guys something more than the mostly background chapter one. This chapter goes out to Kayla (@definexfreedom), who had quite unknowingly, been giving me motivation and advice through the writing process as I crashed her askbox as writer!anon. ;) (Yes it’s been me, haha!) Chapter three will really take some time, but I do hope you guys enjoy the story so far! :)
