Hey, welcome to my first iCarly fanfiction. The prompts were just words my friends sent me that had to do with Christmas. They're all separate stories and take place at different times. Though I think they're kind of in order over the years... I'm not positive. Hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own iCarly. Simple as that.
Description: Series of Seddie one shots that take place over Christmas.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Prompt: Presents
"You could at least pretend to have some restraint," nagged Freddie as he looked on disapprovingly at Sam tearing apart the wrapping paper of her gifts. She grunted in response, slowed down just long enough to take a gulp of her iced tea, and then started back up again.
It was Christmas morning and Freddie, Sam, Carly and Spencer were sitting on the floor of the Shay's apartment. Carly was unwrapping her gifts slowly, making them last as long as she could, and giving each gift and appropriate acknowledgement time. Freddy watched as she opened her gift from Spencer and hugged him, making him smile in his happy attention-shy way.
Freddie went back to pulling the tape and paper off the few boxes that he had transferred into the Shay's house for his second round of gift unwrapping. He had woken up early that morning and had managed to open almost all of his presents with his mom before Sam came rampaging in and hauled him to Carly's. He smiled slightly at the memory, and found his eyes drawn to Sam. For a moment, he contemplated looking away, in case she caught him looking at her (oh the horrors that would ensue from such a bold action), then he realized she was tearing the paper off of the present he had bought for her a few days previous.
Sam tugged the last piece of wrapping paper obscuring the item from her view and Freddie watched as her face lit up with delight at the sight of the gift. He was slightly surprised that she would show her delight in a gift from him, when he realized that she hadn't been looking at the cards as she opened the gifts. He sighed and shook his head, going back to opening his presents.
The last present he opened was a little box with a large red bow stuck haphazardly on the top. 'To Freddie' was scrawled across the tag in loopy handwriting. He pulled the lid off the package to find a tiny silver pin with an oversized heart made out of what looked like little pieces of different coloured metals that glinted in the light and reflected little patches of light on the walls. It was fixed carefully onto the pin by a complicated hooking mechanism. Freddie glanced up for admiring the handiwork and found Sam watching him intently.
When he looked up and met her eyes, she didn't look away; instead she smiled and gestured at the mound of presents in front of her, then to the neat pile of gifts in front of me as if to illustrate the fact that she had more presents than he did. He just shook his head, noticing that his girt to her was on the top of the pile, even though she had opened it near the beginning, and pinned the heart shaped pin into the bottom of his sweater. He had a pretty good idea who it was from, she was (after all) the only person he know taking metalwork in school.
As he finished placing the pin in the exact spot, he looked up and saw Sam slip something into her pocket. It looked a lot like the card he had given her along with the present. Maybe she did know who it was from after all.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Prompt: Warmth
Sam laid her head on Freddie's shoulder, letting all of her muscles relax and the stress of the day fade from her mind. She felt safe here, while everyone else was fast asleep; Carly with her head on Freddie's lap, a contented look across her face; Freddie leaning against the back of the couch, his head lolling to one side and his mouth slightly open; Spencer, snoring on the armchair, an empty bowl of popcorn sitting on his lap.
Sam could feel the warmth of Freddie's breath on her forehead as his head turned in his sleep. If anyone had been awake at the time she would have made a big show of how his breath stunk, or how he was infecting her with his dorkiness, but now, with everyone fast asleep around her, she took comfort in the solid presence of one of her two best friends.
A sudden movement caught her off guard, and she started slightly as Freddie lifted his arm over her shoulder. She tensed, unsure of how to proceed, until Freddie's voice said quietly;
"Warm enough?"
Sam nestled deeper into Freddie's side.
"Now I am."
-------------------------------------------------------------
Prompt: SUGAR
Freddie watched wide-eyed as Sam advanced towards him, her expression terrifying him. She'd just inhaled most of the sugar filled treats Carly had laid out for the guests that were arriving later, and was now experiencing the sugar rush that tends to come with digesting too much sweet food.
Her hair was down, wild curls cascading down her back and over her shoulders, contrasting with the brightly coloured shirt she was wearing. Her eyes, which were fixated on Freddie at the moment, were glistening in the dim light. He found himself unable to move, the option of getting up and out of her way was no longer lurking in him mind. Freddie was hypnotized by this Sam. Her face got closer and closer, Freddie could now see a smear of frosting beside her mouth. He was rather surprised when an urge to reach out and brush the pink goo off her face overwhelmed him.
Trying his best to keep his hands at his sides, and far away from Sam's face, Freddie gazed at Sam's blue eyes as she stopped in front of him and bent down, her face just inches from his. His eyes were glued to her, and even in his fear of what would happen next, he found himself frozen in place. She was so close now, her hair tickling his face as she brought her face in even closer. Then she froze; her lips only millimetres from his. He could feel her warm breath on his mouth, and for a moment his grasp on reality slipped; he found himself closing the miniscule gap between them.
His hands rose up from their place at his sides to find their places. One grasped the back of her neck, pressing her face even closer to his; the other found her lower arm, which he used to pull her down into a crouch in front of him. Not once during this exchange did their lips part.
Suddenly, Freddie felt a round object transferring itself into his mouth. He pulled back from Sam immediately; a grimace painted across his face, and spat the small orb into his hand. It seemed to be one of the chocolate-filled mints that were sitting in a bowl on one of the counters in the iCarly studio. He looked up at Sam, only to be greeted by a large smile and the mischievous glint in her eyes. He sighed and popped the candy back into him mount, much to her surprise. Freddie snickered at the wide eyed look on her face; for the first time he'd gotten the better of Sam. Then he reached over and pulled her onto his lap, pressing his lips lightly on the corner of her mouth and letting his tongue clean the frosting he had noticed earlier off her face. He could hear a sigh of contentment escape from her lips, and he took the opportunity to move his lips onto her mouth. He was rather enjoying being the one in control, until he felt Sam's tongue against the bottom of his lip. Now it was his turn to sigh contentedly.
For a few moments, he found himself letting Sam take control, then as tried to open his mouth he remembered the hard candy that had been stored in his cheek. There didn't seem to be much of it left, so Freddie acted quickly. He waited for a few moments more, then let the candy make its way back into her mouth. He expected her to stop kissing him, or maybe whack him on the head; instead, she turned her head to the side and spat the remainder of the sugary treat on the floor a few feet away.
This action surprised Freddie as much as it had surprised Sam when Freddie returned the candy to his mouth after taking it out to see what the hell it was. But he just smiled slightly. This had been one hell of a Christmas Party, and the guests hadn't even arrived yet.

Prompt: First Snowfall
Freddie and Sam sat with Carly in the middle of the park. Snow was falling all around them and they we bundled up tightly. Sam was wearing the most layers of all of them; her body almost completely covered from head to toe, something Freddie and Carly had worked very hard on accomplishing. In Freddie's words, 'it was about as easy to get Sam dressed for the cold as it was to feed a toddled dead-set on eating cake their least favourite food.' Carly had found this very amusing, and had burst out laughing; causing Sam to peek out from her hiding place to find out what was so funny. They had then cornered her and suited her up for the weather, Sam grumbling the entire time.
Now they were all sitting on the cold ground in the middle of the park, Freddie with his arms around the heavily bundled up Sam, Carly leaning on Freddie's other shoulder, all three of them staring up at the midnight sky and the snow that was just visible in the glow of the streetlamps.
It was the first snowfall of the year, and Carly and Sam had been up watching TV when they noticed the snowflakes coming down. Sam had demanded they go get Freddie and go to the park to experience the moment; so they did. Freddie had been groggy when Sam landed on the bed beside him and tried to wake him up. Her excitement was infectious, however, and Freddie soon found himself wide awake. Sam seemed rather proud of her accomplishments as she dragged Freddie back to Carly's, his hair ruffled and a jacket and scarf under his arms.
Carly was waiting for them at the door, her coat zipped up and gloves on the couch beside a pile of snow pants, scarves, coats and gloves. Sam's eyes widened at the sight of all the clothing and she leapt to the side, Freddie's wild grab falling short by a few inches. He tossed what he was holding on the couch and closed the door behind him. Two years of dating Sam plus all those years of being friends with her were enough to tell him that it would take awhile to catch her again. He glanced over at Carly, who sighed and gestured for him to go around one side of the couch as she circled the other.
Sam glared at them and backed slowly towards the stairs; her hands out to her side slightly, as if ready to defend herself from any attackers; her knees bent slightly, ready to spring her out of any unwanted situation.
Freddie advanced slowly, blocking her escape to the door as Carly advance from the other direction, blocking her escape from to the kitchen. Sam paused for a moment, then said loudly;
"Don't hurt me! I'm pregnant!"
Freddie rolled his eye, and shot back, "Which would be why we're TRYING to get you all dressed for the weather! So you don't freeze your baby."
Sam grumbled something neither Carly nor Freddie could hear, then countered, "It's yours too Fredward, so don't go trying to dump all the responsibility on me."
Freddie closed his eye and took a deep breath, trying to keep his annoyance in check; Sam however, anticipating his move, took this chance to dash past him and into the hallway to the bathroom.
"SAM!" he yelled after her when he opened her eyes to see that she was gone. When she didn't answer he shook his head and threw his hands up in the air in a sign on defeat. This was when he compared Sam to a toddler and Carly burst out laughing.
At the sound of Carly's giggles, the ever jealous Sam poked her head around the corner, and walked over to them, plopping herself on the couch. Freddie rolled his eyes as Sam started to pull layers of warm padded snow gear on over her T-shirt and pants.
So after the little fiasco with Sam was over, they had made their way to the park and found a seat in the middle of a field. The night seemed magical as the snow came drifting down. Freddie pulled Sam closer and smiled. Life was good.
