Sam looked at him nervously. For the better part of a month, he'd tried to come up with the perfect way to let Blaine know that he would always be there for him, would always love him. Now that Blaine sat in front of him in the choir room, he couldn't think straight. Sam took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself, but they didn't seem to work.

"Sam? Are you okay?"

"Y-yeah. I'm okay," Sam responded, shifting his weight to his left foot.

"Marley told me that you wanted me to meet you here, but she wouldn't say why."

Sam nodded. He remembered asking her to have Blaine come to the choir room. "Right. I'm not good with words. And I came up with this really great speech, but having you here in front of me makes it so much more difficult to remember it. You and I have this really incredible friendship, and the last thing I would want to do is jeopardize that, but there is something that I need to tell you." He stared intently at Blaine.

"You know you can tell me anything Sam," he said a little concerned.

"I know that your break-up with Kurt was really hard on you. You were always so sad, and you would cry a lot. I hated seeing you like that. You're a great guy, and no offense to Kurt, but you deserve someone that will put you first, show you just how important you are to him." Sam looked down at the ground. "It took me a while in the beginning to cheer you up, but I managed to do so. You started smiling again, started really being happy. I remember one day, you and I were doing homework and you smiled at me. It gave me butterflies, and after that, I always wanted you to smile at me."

Blaine was staring at Sam, eyes wide open.

"You are talented, nice, helpful, caring, sweet, and so much more. I think that you are the most amazing person that I have ever met." Sam looked up at Blaine with a smile. When he saw the look on Blaine's face his smile faltered. "Please say something."

Blaine let out a breath he hadn't known he was holding. "I-I… I um… I don't know what to say Sam. I'm still trying to process all that you've said. Are you saying that you uh… you have a crush on me?"

"No. It's so much more than that. When I wake up and when I go to sleep, you are what I'm thinking about. Every second of every day, you are all that is on my mind. I know I sound like a girl, but I can't help it. Just being near you sends my head spinning. You are so important to me. There's a song that I want to sing to you. It makes me think of you, so I hope that you'll like it."

Blaine sat in the chair behind him, eager to hear what his best friend would sing to him.

People love you when they on your mind
A thought is love's currency
And I been thinking about him all the time
I've never seen somebody put together perfectly
What would I have to do to call you mine
Someone like you is so hard to find
You can open up your eyes or you can walk it blind
All I ask is that you hurry, I won't hurt you don't you worry
Listen to me, I'mma set you free
He ain't gonna break your heart again
Go through the worst to reach the ecstasy
When your imagination's on pretend
Never thought that it would feel this way
You never taught me how to heal the pain
I wish you caught me on a different day
When it was easier to be happy

So just a little taste and you know he got you
Can you hide away, can you hide away
Sound of silence as they all just watch you
I kinda find it strange
How the times have changed
But I wish, we could go and be free, once
Baby, you and me
We could change the world forever
And never come back again
Let's leave it all in the rear-view
You don't have to cry
You don't have to cry

And mend a broken heart boy if you can
I don't expect you to be capable
You got the world right in your hands
And that responsibility is unescapable
I promise that I'll be a different man
Please give me the chance to go and live again
I'm having some trouble can you give a hand
It seems perfection really is unattainable
Don't even say you about to end it all
Your life precious ain't a need to go and kill yourself
I'm not so sure that there's an end at all
I wish the truth would just reveal itself
Who do you call to make it to the top
And, who do you call to make the shootin' stop
And who do you call to give the coup a wash
After everything I did I think I'm still myself

So just a little taste and you know he got you
Can you hide away, can you hide away
Sound of silence as they all just watch you
I kinda find it strange
How the times have changed
But I wish, we could go and be free, once
Baby, you and me
We could change the world forever
And never come back again
Let's leave it all in the rear-view
You don't have to cry
You don't have to cry

"I love you so much Blaine. I'm in love with you. I know that I'm probably not at all your type, but I just couldn't go on without telling you how strongly I feel for you anymore."

Sam was so quiet at the end; Blaine nearly missed his declaration of love. His smile was so bright Sam thought it could light up the world.

Blaine stood and took the few steps necessary to get to Sam and grabbed hold of his hand. "You're in love with me," he asked. When Sam nodded and turned his head, Blaine used his free hand to make Sam look at him again. "Good, because Sam, I'm in love with you too." Blaine stretched up and captured Sam lips with his own. He pulled away smiling. "I've wanted to do that for months," he admitted.

"Wow," Sam said, touching his lips dazedly. "If I had known that you'd respond like this, I would have told you sooner."

"Me too," Blaine responded. "There were times that it seemed like you might return the feelings I felt for you, but I brushed them off. I thought that I was just making it all up in my mind. I've never been happier to be wrong about something in my entire life."

Sam grinned. "Me either."
