"Um... dude. Please tell me that is a pack of Lifesavers in your pocket" , the sentence was playing on repeat in Sam's head, "please tell me that's a pack of lifesavers in your pocket". Luckily Blaine didn't quite catch the meaning behind it and offered his blond friend a breath mint from the package in his pocket, completely oblivious. Sam wanted to be supportive, understanding and overall cool with all this, not make stupid comments about it.. He had truly meant what he said after Blaine had explained the whole crush-situation, that he was totally okay with it, that they were like brothers and Blaine's little crush wouldn't jeopardize their friendship. Sam could never let that happen, Blaine was the best friend he had ever had. There was never a boring second around Blaine and there was no way he'd ever let a little gay admiration come between them. The last thing he said before the awkward hug was just as true, that it felt kinda good, and flattering. Because it was, appreciation from anyone was great, but if it came from someone you really care about it was even better. When working out together with his friend he'd always try to look extra good, not to tease Blaine, but because the looks he would give Sam when he thought his sidekick didn't see made the blond boy's heart beat a little faster from the appraisal. He smiled a little at his own thought until the dopey comment he made earlier figured in his mind again, "Tell me that is a pack of Lifesavers in your pocket".
Before long Sam was lying on his bed trying to read through the pages his history teacher had assigned to the class. He had "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" playing in the background and tapped his foot in synch with the beat. His week had been awesome and it was a long time since he felt this happy, he'd got to sing numerous of his favourite songs and he had come clean bout his macaroni art to Blaine, who seemed to like it. The words in the book slowly disappeared from his sight as his mind started to wander away in other thoughts. He should take Brittany out on a date soon, it had been some time since he had the money to do so. Should he take her to Breadstix?, or perhaps they should just go to the movies. The boy wondered if there were any new movies coming out soon. Sam was super excited about the second Captain America movie coming out, but Brittany wouldn't want to watch that. The two of them always had so much trouble deciding what movie they'd watch that eventually they gave up and started to make out instead. Not that Sam ever minded smooching his hot girlfriend, but you couldn't deem it as very romantic. The boy tried to focus on the text once more and read a few paragraphs until his thoughts strayed away, he should ask Blaine to go see Captain America with him when it comes out. Sam was sure his friend would love that so he rapidly stood up from his messy bed and took a few steps to the desk where his phone was. "U want to watch Captain America with me next week?", he sent it to the contact named "Nightbird" and then proceeded to read the last pages of the assignment. Sam then made himself ready to go for a run, changes his jeans to a pair of soft gray shorts and his plaid shirt to a t-shirt with the sleeves cut off like a muscle shirt. Finally he heard his phone buzz, Blaine's answer confused Sam a little, he said he didn't have time, he was busy with "some other things". Why in the world would Blaine say no to a super hero movie?! Sam sent away another text saying "just tell me when u change ur mind", his friend had to come to his senses sooner or later and Sam would be ready to watch the movie then. Partly because Blaine was the only one who wanted to watch that kind of movies with Sam, and because Blaine was the only one Sam wanted to watch them with. The two boys would whisper silly comments to each other during the movie, could go for a week straight making subtle movie references and Sam knew Blaine would always laugh at his impressions of his friend's favourite character. He didn't stand waiting for the answer,instead he left his phone on the desk and walked out the door to take the run he'd been longing for ever since he confronted Blaine in the auditorium.
The weather was perfect, the sun was starting to set and the soft orange light covered the entire scene. Sam took a deep breath of the air that slowly was getting chilly and started to run slowly. At first his brain was filled with thoughts about Blaine's crush (he couldn't quite let it go), the date he was planning for Brittany, and theories about what important things Blaine had going on that didn't give him enough time to watch a movie with his best his breath got heavier and the sweat was dripping down his back and from his forehead the worries dissolved. All he could think of was getting up on the next hill and then the hill after that.
When the sweaty lad passed the Lima Bean he heard his name being shouted. He twisted his head and saw Brittany waving at him with a beaming smile. He yelled "BrittBritt!" and turned his steps towards her. She greeted Sam with an intimate hug, not caring about the smell of sweat and his stickiness, she ended the embrace with placing a coffee tasting kiss on his red lips. "What are you up to babe?", he was quite curious since his girlfriend usually hung out with her cat at this time of the day, "Is Lord Tubbington too busy studying Scientology to hang out with you tonight". He asked the question with much seriousness, unlike many other people would do, as her boyfriend he regarded it as one of his duties to support Britt's odd habits. "No, Lord Tubbington promised he'd stop that, I'm here too meet Santana" she smiled her adorable smile towards Sam. "I didn't know she was back in Lima, I'd like to catch up with her too!", Sam said, but he soon remembered that he was out on a run, so he added "but that would have to wait until tomorrow". "Oh it's alright, Santana had something super-duper important to tell me and I don't think she'd like to have you with us", Britt's answer was just as frank as she always was, which was one of the things that made Sam love her so utterly. Dusk was near and the previously so nice breeze had turned into a coldish wind so he decided to get going again. He leaned forward to give his girlfriend a goodbye kiss. He grasped the blonde hair strands that had been set free from her pony tail when he gently clutched his hand behind her neck and bent down a little. His touch made her feel like there were tiny fireworks in her entire body, exploding and leaving a rain of sparks that made her feel almost electric. Brittany closed the distance between the two of them by putting her hands on his broad shoulders and pressing her soft breasts so close to his chest she could feel his deep breaths. Sam's hand found its way to the hollow on her lower back and lifted her body slightly over the hard asphalt. Her eyelashes brushed lightly against Sam's cheek and he shivered from the swift feeling. "Hey, isn't it trouty mouth and Britt-Britt sharing saliva in public!", the couple parted to see Santana standing a few meters away with a big grin.
When Sam got out of a cold shower he wrapped a soft towel around his waist and walked to his room. As soon as he and Santana had exchanged the usual greeting phrases he had left the former couple alone at the coffee shop to continue his run. The day had exhausted him and all he wanted now was to tumble into his cozy bed and fall asleep instantly. He realized he'd forgotten to turn off his music player when he heard the familiar song "Heroes" and his eyes lit up by his smile. The memory of how he had convinced Blaine to stay at McKinley with this very song made his heart fill with pride and vast happiness,because he could never in a million years imagine going to school and not seeing Blaine every single day. The though reminded him of the text he sent to his friend earlier, and he went to check his phone for an answer. 3 unread messages, all of them from Blaine, sent about fifteen minutes apart. "suck an odd way to send messages" he thought to himself. The last text he had gotten read "sorry, don't mind my second message. I was just rambling", Sam furrowed his eyebrows in curiosity of what the text he was referring to said. "I know you said everything is cool between us, but wouldn't you consider it strange to do something so.. 'datey' with me? Maybe it would be best for both of us if we stayed away from each other for a while.. I really don't want to make you uncomfortable and even if you say I don't - I know I do but it's nice of you to try to be my bro anyway. Sorry again", Sam could barely understand what all this meant, or at least he didn't want it to mean what he thought it did. They were best bros forever, Blaine couldn't do this to Sam. It wasn't fair. He still had a small fly of hope though, maybe the last text meant that this one didn't mean anything. In the first text everything might be explained and it will be clear that Blaine didn't mean anything he meant in this message. "Ask Brittany to go with you, I think it's for the best if you and I take a break for a while, sorry". Sam's heart felt like a heavy stone in his chest, Blaine did mean everything he said, he had just wanted to say it in fewer words. Sam couldn't even find the words to form a complete thought, all he could think was "no" over and over again. The boy laid down in bed, hoping to wake up the next day and not having those three texts on his phone. The fuzzy cloud of tiredness in his head he'd felt just a few minutes ago was gone and instead thoughts as sharp as swords were bashing his foolishness, how could he ever had thought Blaine wouldn't notice his stupid comment. "Um... dude. Please tell me that is a pack of Lifesavers in your pocket".
This is my first fanfic and english isn't my first language so you have to excuse my mistakes/lack of knowledge in how to write. I might spend an awful lot of time building up to the really good part of the story since I don't have a clear course. All I know is that my OTP will happen sooner or later, but I don't want to throw any other characters away so I have to take care of them in order to proceed with my shipping.
If you see any major mistakes, please tell me!
