“ Yeah, I guess you’re right. For once. ” of course she had to tease him to some degree. The sheer kindness felt out of her comfort zone at this point, especially considering how serious the situation was becoming. “ I don’t know why I come to you for help — you’re like, REALLY sappy. It’s kind of gross. ” but that didn’t mean she didn’t like it.

Blaine was grateful for the teasing.  They were both so miserable.  Neither one of them had the energy to poke at the other in the few days they’ve spent together.  Losing Kurt was one thing but a major part of their dynamic was missing and it only reminded him of how different everything felt.  Clinging to the moment–Blaine grabbed onto her hand so tight that his fingers didn’t stop until their palms were flat against one another so he could bounce the back of Santana’s against his knee until it was perfectly in place right where it landed.  A lopsided grin told her how happy he was for the sliver of NORMAL she gave him.  “If that’s gross?  I can make this disgusting by saying I’m glad you’re here.  Cause–honestly–I don’t think I can be like this with anyone.  Not yet anyway.  So, thank you.”
