I've wanted to do my very own drabble of when Sam and Mercedes first interacted one-on-one.
This is my first drabble, so gimmie a break!
"Haha! Good job guys!" Mr. Shue yelled from the auditorium seats, and clapped. Everyone cheered.
They had just finished 'Time Warp' from the Rocky Horror Show, and they did a great job.
"Just sucks that we couldn't perform it for everyone else." Rachel said.
"Yeah, but it was still cool. Good job Mercy." Santana commented.
"Yes, you definitely make a great Frank-n-Furter." Kurt put his arm around her, while Mercedes just fanned herself in a 'I know' fashion. The whole glee club laughed.
Sam gulped nervously. She definitely brought the house down. He hadn't said much to her since he joined glee. But he's always admired her. She was everyone's to-go girl, and he noticed that she never disappointed. She had a voice that would make even the angels cry, and an ass that no man can deny.
He stopped his thoughts, this was NOT the place and time. But when she was in that leather costume, he couldn't help but stare. He reprimanded himself, he was taught better than to behave like that.
"Okay guys, why don't you get dressed, and we'll meet in the choir room?" Shue suggested.
After their meeting in the choir room and Mercedes got a lot of praise, they were excused. Sam was grateful all of Quinn's focus was on Mercedes, because he felt like it would be incredibly rude of him if she was trying to speak to him, and he wouldn't hear it because her best friend was too distracting. Honestly, he's never seen her in 'that way' before. Sure she was gorgeous-that was obvious, but she seemed to have a 'sister' like role to everyone in glee club, so thats what she automatically became to Sam. Even if no guy looks at his sister the way he looked at her during her duet with Santana.
He was walking to his car when he saw her sitting on a bench by the school door.
He looked around and saw that everyone already left. He had to grab books from his locker, so he didn't expect to see anyone here. She had her head down, looking at her phone or something, he assumed.
"Mercedes?" He asked.
She looked up at him, "Hey Sam." He stopped a few feet in front of her, and she scooted.
"Wanna sit?" She motioned to the now open seat. He was gonna say no, but thought why not.
"Sure." He sat,
She was the first to break the silence, "What are you doing here?"
"I needed to get my books from my locker which had to be on the other side of the world." She chuckled.
"Right."
"Wait, what are you doing here?" He asked
"Waiting for Derek to come pick me up." She stated simply, and Sam's heart pounded.
Before he could stop it, he blurted, "Who?"
She giggled. "Derek… my brother…" She looked at him, and he released a relieved breath.
"Oh." He replied and she rose her eyebrows. "Is he on his way, because I can drop you off, if you'd like?"
"Thanks, but no, he should've left by now. He better have left." She sassed, and he laughed.
"Good job in Rocky Horror." Sam complimented.
"Thanks, you too, Rocky." She winked, and he felt himself blush.
"Rachel was right, though. You should've been able to perform that in front of everyone." He noted.
"Ah, my time will come." She shrugged.
"It definitely will. I knew that since your 'Mountain High, River Deep' duet," hot damn! "with Santana…" He watched as her eyebrows shot up again.
He head palmed himself, and she giggled. His eyes flew open at the sound. She just looked at him expectantly.
"Its just that, that was the first time I heard you sing-actually, the first time I heard you sing was with Puck… no, thats a lie, too-" He was rambling.
"So whats the truth, Evans?" She had her hand under her thighs and leaned closer to him. She bit her lip to hide her smile.
"Uh." He stammered, "You and Tina were siting in the choir room. She was on the piano, and you were singing, 'If I ain't got you' by Alicia Keyes." He admitted. He'd never forget that day. She sounded so amazing, honestly, when Finn was trying to convince him to join Glee, he did it because he knew she'd be in it, having the opportunity to hear her sing more would be a blessing.
"Oh." She smiled, a little stunned. "Wow, I didn't know anyone was listening to us, we were just playing around."
"Yeah, well, you guys sounded amazing."
"Thanks Sam, that means a lot." She smiled, and he returned it.
They were caught in each others gaze for a few moments when they heard a horn honk. Mercedes flew high in her seat, and put her hand over her heart.
"Holy!-" She turned to glare at whoever the offender was, of course it was her brother, "ASSHOLEE!" She yelled.
Sam couldn't help but bust a gut,
"Whats so funny?" She snapped, it only made him laugh harder.
"Its just, you were so…." laughing, cute, "Scared!" He caught his breath…. "Over reaction much?"
She shook her head, but let out a chuckle herself, and flicked his forehead.
"OW!" He cried.
"Over-reaction much?" She smirked.
"MERCEDES HURRY THE HELL UP AND SAY BYE TO YOUR BOYFRIEND ALREADY!" Derek shouted.
The both stopped, but then Sam smiled crookedly at her, "Bye babe" He mocked, and her eyes went wide.
"See you, abulous." He smiled wider and watched her walk away.
