Sam x Taurtis

Sam sat on the train, Taurtis snoozing beside him. Once again, Taurtis fell asleep instead of staying awake to wake Sam up. Taurtis got plenty of sleep at night, Sam was the one who stayed up, hours on end to wash Taurtis' clothes and try to save his pufferfish from dying.

Taurtis woke with a start, Sam having punched him in the shoulder. "Come on, Taurtis. We're gonna be late" he says huffily. Taurtis scrambles to his feet, trailing along with the bunny boy. Sam marched into the school, not sparing Taurtis a glance. Once they reached the classroom, Okami took role call and handed out the assignment. Taurtis read over the homework, a small blush creeping to his face. 'Tell the class about someone who is an important part of your life! :D'

Sam glanced at Taurtis, reading the assignment as well. Sam's first thought was Sookie. She was an angel to Sam. Sam had fallen in love with the girl since the day he handed her a carrot at lunch and ran away screaming, Taurtis supporting him. Another time, Taurtis helped Sam pretend to be a girl so he could get Sookie. Taurtis was also his only, true friend.

Sam and Taurtis sat in lunch, eating their food. J happily rate his food across from them. Tiki was sniffing Taurtis' hair as always while Invader stared at Sam from afar. Pepe was tipping his fedora to Patty while the rest of the students gossiped or fought. "So, who are you guys talking about to tomorrow?" J asks, Taurtis immediately developing a deep blush.

"I'm not sure yet.." Sam and Taurtis say at the same time. J nods his head slowly, "ok then.." He says, finishing his lunch. The bell rang, students rushing to the gym. "MAGGOTS. TODAY THE SCHOOL BOARD ISNT LETTING US DO ANYTHING SINCE I ATE ALL THE SWEETS AT HOME. DO WHATEVER YOU WANT, JUST STAY IN THE GYM" Rowan's loud voice booms. Slowly, the students separated, Yuki dashing into the boys' locker room. Taurtis and Sam stood in the back of the room, away from the crowd. Taurtis glanced at Sam, rocking on his heels a bit.

Sam bit his bottom lip, stealing glances at Taurtis. The two silently stood there for what seemed like forever to them. Sam wrung his hands uselessly while his bunny ears twitched, showing signs of anticipation. Sam watched as Taurtis stared up at the ceiling. Knowing he was thinking about Salex, Sam looked down at his feet sorrowfully.

Taurtis jumped slightly as the bell rung. Following Sam down to the train station, he decided he would do it. If it ruined their friendship, Taurtis didn't care. He wanted this, and he felt like Sam did too. The only thing that stopped it from happening was girls.

Sam stopped, hearing his friend's footsteps stop. They were in the middle of the train station. Sam turned to face Taurtis fully, to see his friend looking determined but embarrassed at the same time. "S-Sam.. W-will you.. Go out with me?"

taurtis ignored the shocked states of nearby people, not caring if it was Yuki, Sookie or even Salex's ghost. He couldn't stand it, Sam not answering right away. The entire train station was focused on them. Sam stuttered, his mouth opening and closing. It was no doubt he would say no.

Sam gaped at his best friend, unsure what to say. his mind raced, thoughts going from Sookie to his friends to Yuki's jealous ness to Taurtis. His life would be incomplete without his friend. He couldn't live without Taurtis. What about toritos, their dream? Sam opened his mouth, his voice cracking, "y-a-es"
