A/N: Welcome to my newest fanfiction, Putting It Together, a slash fic of Ram/Sory (aka Rory and Sam). The idea came to me upon this year's Christmas episode (which is the best episode of Season 3 so far), and also because I just finished The Kory-Rurt Trilogy and I wanted to write something new. Besides, Rory's my new favorite Gleek, so lots of stories about him.
As Christmas came and gone, and Rory Flanagan's family sent him a card expressing their apologies about not being able to visit him in America, Rory's "Christmas sponsor" and fellow Glee clubber Sam Evans consoled him.
"You know they wanted to come, buddy. Plane tickets are expensive these days," Sam said, putting an arm around Rory, who snuggled up against the bigger boy. Sam looked down at Rory, who was shaking; he grabbed a blanket and put it over him. "You're gonna be okay, Rory."
"Thanks, Sam, for everything you've done for me," Rory said, turning to face Sam, who smiled. Rory saw Sam in a new light at this point and took the chance; he leaned in and kissed him. When he pulled away, Rory didn't read what exactly was processing through Sam's mind. Sam blinked, lay Rory down on his sleeping bag, and left the room.
'What did I do? Does he not like me anymore?' Rory's thoughts were revolving around in his head. He soon fell asleep, thoughts about Sam still spinning.
Sam stood in the bathroom, looking at himself in the mirror. He was caught off guard by Rory's kiss and didn't know how to feel about it. Sam thought Rory was a cool guy and everything, but his feelings for Mercedes were conflicting with those he felt for Rory. Sometimes he thought about Rory as the kind of guy he'd want to be around all the time; although he had only met Rory about a month ago, he had found interest in the younger boy. It was a hard decision: the girl he had spent all summer with or the guy who made his feelings for him very clear. Sam sighed and went to bed; he looked over at Rory when he lied down and saw Rory snoring softly, which made him smile. He had no idea what he wanted anymore.
A/N: I know it's a super short chapter; I just wanted to get it going.
