[video] the first time i ever saw your face

[bicorn]

[ Brittany spends a lot of time in the library lurking amongst the seemingly infinite stacks of books. Today is no different; she wanders inside, bebopping along to the music she's got playing from her headphones, and quickly falls to distraction.

A good ten minutes pass as she trails up and down each of the aisles, before there's a slight lull between songs and she finally looks up -- startled by the sound of someone else approaching. ]

[Santana saw Brittany go into the library, and thought she'd go say hi. Maybe get their cuddle on in the stacks. It takes her awhile to actually find Brittany, though, and by the time she does, she has a weird feeling...

Why was she here? In the library of all places?]

[bicorn]

[ The source of the noise is not at first obvious to Brittany; confusedly she peers around, not noticing anything out of the ordinary -- particularly as the next song does start up, masking the soft fall of footsteps -- but finally a flash of movement catches her eyes and she whips her head around in time to see...

Oh. ]

[itsahotone]

[The name is on the tip of her tongue but it's gone before it can escape. And not only because holy hell, that girl is beautiful.

Which is such a cliche anyway, and Santana is way too cool to be stunned into silence or whatever.]

...Hi.

[bicorn]

[ A whoosh of air escapes her then, a soft sort of sigh in place of a whispered name. When she looks at this girl, Brittany feels something churning deep inside her gut, a slow burning recognition -- within her bones, if not quite her brain. ]

Hey...

[itsahotone]

[Santana glances away, smiling. As far as she can remember, she's never felt like this.]

Uh, hi.

[Wait, she already said that.]

I'm....

[...Okay, she can't think of her name right now. Must be this whole weird cliche thing.]

[bicorn]

Um... Yeah. [ She gestures uselessly at herself, her inability to recall her own name made slightly less awkward by the impossibly bright and sunny smile she's wearing on her face. ]

[itsahotone]

So...what're you doing?

[Which is a dumb question, but she feels kind of hot all over. She doesn't care.]

[bicorn]

[ ... Now that the girl asks, Brittany isn't entirely too sure. But she already feels like she's made a big enough fool of herself not even being able to give her name, so she shrugs rather shyly instead. ]

Just... Walking.

[itsahotone]

[She walks a little closer, then a little more.]

Were you listening to something good?

[bicorn]

[ She fumbles with her earbuds a moment, before offering one to the other. This song is quietly pouring out. ]

[itsahotone]

[Obviously that offer is accepted. Santana listens for a bit, groovin' to the beat, and gives the girl a smile.]

Nice. Kinda hot.

[bicorn]

It makes me want to dance. [ She gives a slight shimmy in demonstration. ]

[itsahotone]

[Grinning, Santana nudges the other girl with her hip.]

Go for it. No one's around.

[bicorn]

Not by myself. [ She nudges back. ]

[itsahotone]

Are you asking me to dance with you?

[She giggles a little nervously, but that doesn't stop her tone from sounding incredibly flirtatious.]

[bicorn]

I think so. [ She's grinning a bit slyly now. ]

[itsahotone]

[She is not used to this kind of instant connection--at least she thinks she's not. She can't really remember.]

Okay.

[Butterflies~]

[bicorn]

[ It's totally like there's a little Lord Tubbington in her stomach, playing with catnip. Or something. ]

I don't think we can both wear the headphones, though.

[itsahotone]

That's okay. I can just get really close.

[Shit, wait, was that too much?]

[bicorn]

[ Brittany swallows thickly and nods her head. ]

Yeah. Yeah, okay.

[itsahotone]

[She moves closer still to the other girl, giggling a little out of nervousness. Then she holds her hand out, palm-up.]
