Hi everyone! This is my first (plan) of continued saga involving the relationship (mainly friendship and bromance) between Sam Evans and Blaine Anderson. It involves other character, too. I just finished the first chapter and I hope you all enjoy.

Sorry if you guys found some awkward style of writing and grammar, since I'm not a native English language speaker and writer.

Happy reading! Reviews are VERY welcomed and appreciated to keeps me going!


For his entire life, Sam Evans only fully comprehend about one thing : how to be a good person to the people that important to him. Because when your family was financially ruined, all that's left was the bond within your family members, and the only thing that tightened that bond is one simple action : love.

And, all Sam Evans knows about love is simple : be there for them and be supportive for them. It's not until one fateful week Sam learned that the word "love" was indeed, very difficult and quite...torturing.

It was a great yet pretty rough week for Sam. First, they won Regionals. Not that he didn't see it coming. It's pretty obvious that everyone rooted for New Directions, and with all the long hour and tiring afterschool practices they had for the past few weeks, it wasn't a surprise that they won. Sam knew all along that in the end, every inch of sweats they spent preparing for this competition will finally paid off.

He sure was happy and excited about the winning. But, his mind never completely flushed off from the news he got from two of the most important people in Sam's life earlier this week : his currently ex-girlfriend Brittany and his best friend Blaine. Honestly, dealing with both of them, in the same period of time, with entirely different yet important issues, stripped down his energy to the fullest. This is something that Sam never experienced before.

Since Brittany actively back and forth between McKinley and MIT, Sam already had a bad feeling in his gut. His relationship with Brittany was never really...felt 100% right. He truly love her. Romantically. But he knew all along that Brittany partially used him as a rebound from her previous break-up with Santana (and she totally still into Santana, by the way). And Brittany seemed happy when he's around her, so, it didn't bothered Sam that much knowing that Brittany did not love him as much as he loved her, because, according to the most precious lesson life that he ever learned, when you love someone fully, you don't ask for a reciprocation. You just give.

And then came the actual bomb, the bomb that he suspected will eventually arrive, sooner or later. Brittany broke up with him, with the crappiest way ever existed. And not just that, because she suddenly changed into this evil clever lady who snapped at everyone and even at Mr Schue. But still, he cared about her, and he asked for Santana's help. He knew the only person who can help Brittany back on her track is Santana, Brittany's sole soulmate and other half. No one else. Praise to God, Santana's effort worked out, and Brittany came back with a normal attitude, but only to gave him, and rest of their friends, even more mind blowing news.

Right before their performance on stage, Brittany said that she had an early admission to MIT and she should jumped on that chance. She speeched about how important this is for her, and how she will miss all of her friends here. The atmosphere in the room was in total gloomy as soon as Brittany's voice cracked, her eyes built up with tears, saying goodbye to each and everyone in the room. Sam felt his own tears duct filled with water as the speech went on, and he gradually gasped for more air. When Brittany's eyes locked with his, Sam already gave up. Tears came flowing from his eyes. She referenced him as "the cute boy who's on the wrong side of the track". He's still thinking about that phrase until now, which by the way, he didn't understand completely. After a few silent moments of exchanged looks, Brittany came to Sam, hugged him, and whisper to his ear "I love you, Sam". Sam embraced Brittany, and replied "I love you, too, Brittany". Sam really meant it. If there's one thing he's really capable of, that thing is called, once again, "loves". Sam loves her, so if letting her go made her happy, he will happily do it. Yes, that is torturing and hard to accept in the eyes of normal human being. But Sam is not just a normal human being. He knew how to live in poverty. When you're in poverty, everything changed, and it also changed the way you think about something.

The whole thing with Brittany happened at the last days of the week. His worn out energy, tears and feeling of loss probably culminated also from what happened at the beginning of the week. This is possibly the most confusing event for Sam, and it came from his best friend Blaine Anderson.

Since Kurt came back from New York two weeks ago, Sam knew Blaine's attention will probably be all about Kurt. It's quite funny, Sam thought to himself, saw Blaine acted so differently when Kurt was around and when Kurt wasn't. Maybe that's just the way Blaine acted around someone who, what Sam constantly heard from Blaine as "the love of my life". Kurt that is. Sam had no intention of interfering whatever it is the business that Blaine had with Kurt, but when a certain day Blaine canceled their weekly Movie Night appointment, Sam knew something's up. Blaine never, in a million years, cancel their Movie Night appointment.

Not that Sam completely cared about Blaine cancellation the previous day, but Blaine's attitude got more and more annoying for Sam, when the next day after that, Blaine didn't talk to Sam, at all. Tina, of all people, texted him that night, asked whether something happened between him and Blaine. Sam didn't take Tina's question too seriously and just answered "Nothing", honestly quite impressed with the way she observed things.

After Kurt came, and definitely stole Sam dan Blaine's brotherly time together a few times, Sam suddenly came to a new realization : he's pretty sure he just lost his best friend. Sam never thought about not having Blaine around him these days, thus, the fact that Kurt had all of Blaine's attention kind of scary for him. And that's why, when Blaine suddenly told him his plan about the marriage proposal, Sam, with a heavy subjective ideas on his mind, directly disagreed. His suspicion about "something's up" with Blaine was indeed true and bothering at the same time.

As a teenager who once married (although it was fake), Sam knew that regarding how much you thought that you were your significant other's other half, marriage is not a thing for teenager. Loving someone is one thing, but marrying someone is another thing, especially for a teenager who barely graduate high school and moreover, having a job. Sam learned all about this when, once again, he lived in poverty. Yes, love can escalate the stabilization of life. But love itself can't help you feed yourself, let alone feed your family. Sam wanted to explain this to Blaine, but knowing that money wasn't the biggest issue in Anderson family, Sam brought up another issue : Kurt and Adam. But it didn't work for Blaine, either.

And then the strangest thing happened : as their discussion (or, a little argument) went by, Sam understood, Blaine actually wanted to marry Kurt purely because of the whole idea of marriage equality. Not entirely about their relationship or about their feeling, which is very confusing for Sam. Blaine is the most intelligent and the most logically-thinker boy Sam ever known. He never expected that the boy who has straight A's in all of his subjects, who claimed Senior Class President earlier this year, and join 90% amount of the club in the school was the same boy who yelled at him, blabbing uncontrollably about how the marriage equality worked for people like him and everything, which, Sam thought, was a totally shallow reason to get married. That afternoon ended with Blaine asked (or, cornered) him whether he would accompanied Blaine to picked out the ring for Kurt or not. Sam stay silenced, and he almost said "No", but Blaine brought up Sam's number one weakness subject, which is "friendship". Letting down his best friend is not included in Sam's Life Dictionary.

So Sam decided, the next day, he showed up, in a surprising manner, in the jewelry store, as an "asking for forgiveness act for being such a jerk and not supportive" to Blaine. Sam loves Blaine, he always do and he always will. Not in the same way like he loves Brittany or all of his girlfriends in the past, of course. And that's probably the main reason why Sam was so upset about this whole "Blaine away from me" thingy. He wasn't ready to to lose Blaine, simply because one reason : he loves him. But, this subjective emotional feeling was what happened to himself, and probably it was different for Blaine. So, here it came again the life lesson : he loves Blaine, so he wants Blaine to be happy. And if helping him pick out the ring (and being supportive) is going to make Blaine happy, he will gladly do it, regardless the risk of losing Blaine.

So, in the jewelry store, Sam decided to told Blaine that, one thing that he never said to a dude before. "I love you and I want to be supportive". Blaine didn't have time to respond to that, verbally, but from his expression, Sam knew Blaine was grateful dan happy. That's enough, right?. He hoped so. So, he let Blaine discussed thing with that jewelry store lady for the rest of their day.

And right now, Sam laid on his bed, tired from all of the activity he had this whole week. He stared at the ceiling of the guest bedroom in Hudson-Hummel Resident, thinking how much easier it would be, in another universe, if Brittany didn't get that high SAT scores, or if Karofsky didn't bully Kurt so Kurt didn't have to move to Dalton so he can met Blaine. But that's not what happen. The reality was this year he saw Brittany in a brand new light, made them a couple. And this year he also got to know Blaine in a such an unexpected way. He loves both Brittany and Blaine. One as his (former) girlfriend, and the latter as his best friend. Losing one of them was a big load of crap, but losing the two of them?. Sam felt that he can't handle it.

"Sam, are you there?," a familiar voice appeared in other side of the door, knocked the door twice.

It was Kurt. Crap, he almost forgot that Kurt lives here during his stay in Lima. Sam brought his body up and now sat in his bedroom.

"Yeah, Kurt. You can come in if you want" Sam answered politely.

Kurt opened the door knob and came in. He's still wearing the same suit he use earlier that day in the competition. He smiled at Sam, and Sam smiled back.

"So...what are you doing here alone, Sam?. Everyone is in Breadstix for the wedding celebration. I thought you're there. Carole told me that you're up here and didn't want to do some after-wedding activities" Kurt asked Sam, sat next to him.

"Not really in the mood for partying, Kurt. It's been a rough week" Sam said, his eyes planted on his feet.

Kurt formed a sympathetic smile, and then patted Sam on the shoulder,

"I'm so sorry about Brittany" he said, and Sam just nodded.

Not just Brit, Sam told to himself.

Kurt looked around Sam's room, eyeing all the stuffs Sam keep. Kurt's eyes scanned all the superheros posters he glued all around the wall, the shelves full of comic books, the video game console in front of them, and finally, his eyes stopped at the two big pictures hang at the top of the wall left to the bed. The first one is the photo of Sam and Brittany, Brit wearing her cheerio uniform and Sam wearing his usual plaid shirt, holding hands in the school hallway. From their expression in the photo, Kurt knew that this picture was taken candidly. Kurt chuckled to himself.

"Ryder took it with his camera. He said that we're like two puppies head over heels at each other, only this time when he took the shot the background was so awesome he couldn't resist the urge to took it" Sam said, explained to Kurt.

"You guys do like two puppies" Kurt responded, nodded. And then his eyes shift to the next picture, equally as big as the previous photo, only this time, the frame is filled with the collage of photos of Sam and Blaine doing various activities in the school, in the mall, in Blaine's house, or here, in Hudson-Hummel Resident. Kurt's eyes locked in the frame, then he stood up, walked to the frame to take a closer look at the picture. Sam didn't know what to do.

"Is this you and Blaine playing video games here?," Kurt asked, pointing a certain picture in the collage.

"Yeah, your dad took the picture. He told me that the we were so consumed in the games, we didn't hear him said that the dinner was ready. He took our picture instead. Your dad can be pretty random" Sam answered.

"And where is this?" Kurt asked again, pointing the picture at the top of the frame. Sam came to look a little closer and said,

"Ah. Tina took it. We were hanging out at the mall and Blaine and I decided to spending time at the comic store. I thought Tina wast bored so we let her to did whatever she want. Apparently she have a camera hanging around in her purse all the time. Surprising".

"Is this a barbecue party?. Jeez, Sam. Blaine never asked me to come to his house to barbecuing when we were dating" Kurt snapped, his eyes met with a certain picture when the Anderson invited Sam to barbecue.

"Yeah. It was a cool night. Mr and Mrs Anderson are unbelievably a very fun people" Sam said.

Kurt look toward Sam, frowned.

"I think you as a best friend had more experiences with Blaine in the past few months than me being a boyfriend for around two years" he said, amazed.

Sam nodded. He honestly want to told Kurt right away about Blaine's plan proposing and even bought the ring for him. How Blaine desperately need Kurt's presence to make Blaine happy. Damn the bro's commitment of keeping secret!.

"Well. Actually I came here to tell you that dinner is ready. You can come down anytime now, Sam" Kurt said, walked his way to the open door.

"Okay, thanks, Kurt" Sam said, as Kurt went back downstair.

Sam walked to the pile of clothes near his bed when a buzz came to his cellphone.

Blaine: Where are you, man? I thought you were here first.

Sam texted back : Nope. I'm home.

A few seconds later,

Blaine: Really? Something happen?

Sam sighed to himself, and then without too much thinking replied back,

Shit happens, dude.

It took about a minute before Blaine texted back,

Blaine: What's going on, man? Is it Brittany?

Is he really that blind? Sam said to himself.

Sam didn't answer and changed his regional costume to his usual shirt instead. A minute later Blaine texted again.

I'm currently on my way

Sam frowned, and texted back:

On your way to?

It seemed like Blaine already gone, because the reply came 2 minutes later:

To your place, moron.

Sam eyes widened. He needs to tell him about Kurt.

Dude, Kurt's here. Is that okay with you?.

Blaine quickly responded:

Crap. Really? I still have the ring in my pocket. No wonder he's not in the party.

Sam texted back:

You can keep it in my room. Just, make sure when you arrive, the ring is still in your pocket. Okay?

Blaine replied back:

Okay, you're right. You're the best, bro.

Sam saw that simple text, made him realize it's been a while since someone compliment him. Sam didn't reply that text, instead he murmured to the phone (and to himself) and said : you're the best, too.
