So I've been itching to write another one of these. I'm really not sure what drew me to this pairing, seriously. Sometimes corny things in shows really turn me off - like, the whole love/hate relationship between two people can get pretty overplayed, right? But I think it's 'cause I love Sam and Freddie so much as characters on their own, so together they just make me uber happy. I dunno. =o


Payback


It was more like a treaty than a first kiss. A mutual agreement, a secret pact: lips would meet, and them promise to never speak of the event again.

And it wasn't like your typical treaty, either. Usually treaties are used to instill something like peace or stability, but not in the case of Sam and Freddie. No, Sam intended on further heightening Freddie's sense of fear and displeasure. More so now - after they engaged in an act so affectionately uncharacteristic - than ever before.

The second kiss was a strategic move. There was a lot of teasing and taunting involved, and an argument revolving around a certain audio track Freddie recorded in order to "check the microphone." A momentous Jackson Colt-filled episode of iCarly just aired, and the two of them decided it was time to leave the Shays for the night, but Sam just wouldn't stop laughing at the embarrassing vocal clip she found on his laptop. It was partially his fault for bringing up the ploy with their doppelgangers, but Freddie didn't know what else to do to make her drop the subject. He could have ignored her. Hell, he could have slammed the door in her face without so much as a word goodbye. At least his chosen tactic successfully shut her up, albeit leaving her flustered and angry as she made her way to her own home.

The third kiss was revenge. No way in hell was Sam going to allow Freddie the upper-hand now. She was used to winning, especially when it came to him. And now he held something over her that was way worse than any old prank, considering what she had to do in order to get the ball back in her court. She had to catch him off guard too, but not in the way he'd caught her. This time, the two were walking from the Groovy Smoothie, having a relatively civil conversation about prospective segments to include in iCarly for that week. Of course, there was some taunting - mostly at the technical producer's expense - but with Sam and Freddie, mockery was standard in their lighter conversations.

They were close to Carly's apartment now. Freddie was still babbling away about some prospective ideas he had in mind for that week's bit of 'Wake Up Spencer', but Sam wasn't listening. She caught him mid-sentence, planting a hungry kiss against his lips. She was more demanding, more forceful, than he was, and - not much to her surprise - left Freddie stunned. She smirked at him when she pulled away, pretty proud of herself. "You should know better than to try to one-up me, Freddork," She said with a vengeance, before turning to open the door. "Carly!" She called, "Got you something from the Groovy Smoothie."

She walked in casually, handing the smoothie over to her best friend, but he stood in the doorway with lingering effects of her surprise attack and traces of berry medley flavor on his lips.


WOW this was short. I wanted to make this longer, really. I wanted to have Carly ask what was Freddie's problem & have Sam answer with something like 'oh, he lost his laptop charger' or something lame like that, but the dialogue wasn't flowing well with the rest of the story so I just decided to stop it there. I'm sorry if Sam & Freddie seem kind of out of character, but it was fun to write. Normal kissing scenes that are backed by an actual boyfriend/grilfriend relationship is too hard for me to write for them. =P I can't really picture it.

I have this really horrible habit of keeping my author notes super long so I'm gonna stop rambling & say thanks for reading. Yay! =)
