iLove You Too

Disclaimer: iwish!

Summary: After the iOMG kiss so pretty big spoiler if you haven't watched. The song is Little Lion Man by Mumford & Sons (keep in mind if you listen to this song there's a repeated curse word in it). This is the second version.

Version 2: Little Lion Man Sam shifted her body into defensive mode instinctually. Arms folded, legs set apart, sarcastic barbs at the ready. She couldn't quite figure out why she had done that. Well, she knew why she had kissed him. Freddie was her friend; he was nice, funny, sincere, smart, and admittedly hot. Sam was in love with Freddie. But why did she do it here, now.

Weep for yourself, my man,
You'll never be what is in your heart

Freddie didn't move an inch. He was dumbfounded, surprised, confused. Sam kissed him. It's nothing like the first time, maybe because he wasn't expecting it this time. What did it mean, why did she kiss him?

Weep Little Lion Man,
You're not as brave as you were at the start

The first reason that popped into his head, both the obvious and most unlikely reason, is that he's the one she's in love with. But that's ridiculous he decides because Sam hates him. The way she's staring at him though, just waiting for him to say something would say otherwise. But it could also be one of her master plans to trick him into revealing his deepest, darkest secret that he, Freddie Benson is in love with Sam Puckett.

Rate yourself and rake yourself,
Take all the courage you have left

"Look, that, I," Sam floundered. Expressing her feelings was really not something she did, ever. When had she turned into the stereotypical teenage girl without even noticing? This wasn't supposed to be her life. Sam liked boys; she wasn't supposed to like a boy, not really, not seriously. She most definitely couldn't put her heart on the line, anymore than she already had.

Wasted on fixing all the problems
That you made in your own head

"Let's just forget that happened. I tripped or something, ok," Sam suggested, stepping forward to move past Freddie.

But it was not your fault but mine
And it was your heart on the line

He kind of wanted to stop her, kind of wanted to kiss her, kind of wanted to tell her everything but this was safer. Plus he wasn't even sure he was capable of speech yet. Anyway what was he supposed to do, what would he say? Instead he listened as the door clicked shut behind her. Freddie touched his lips thoughtfully. He needed to talk to Carly, right now.

I really f'ed* it up this time
Didn't I, my dear?
Didn't I, my...

iOMGiOMGiOMG

"Turn the heat lamps on now," Carly directed Gibby. Poor Spencer.

The classroom door behind her opened. Swiveling around, Carly grinned knowingly when she saw Freddie walk in.

"So…" Carly prompted excitedly.

"I need to talk to you about something," Freddie began anxiously.

Tremble for yourself, my man,
You know that you have seen this all before

"Okay," Carly agreed, playing along. Freddie dragged her out of the classroom behind him.

Honestly, she wasn't that surprised when she saw them kissing, probably less surprised than either of them. As their friend, Carly saw their chemistry better than even they did. Their insults to each other had lost their sting gaining a more joking tone, they bantered with each other. They hung out with each other even when Carly wasn't around.

Tremble Little Lion Man,
You'll never settle any of your scores
Your grace is wasted in your face,

"I'm not sure how to explain this. I. Sam-" Freddie tried to explain before Carly cut him off eagerly.

"I know. Sam loves you not Brad. I saw you two kiss. I'm so happy for you both," Carly paused in her gushing noticing the sickly pale look Freddie had.

"Freddie, where is Sam?" Carly asked, threateningly.

Your boldness stands alone among the wreck
Now learn from your mother or else spend your days

Biting your own neck

"I. She walked away. I let her walk away," Freddie mumbled, avoiding Carly's gaze.

Carly glared at him for a moment. "But you like her?" she finally asked.

"Yes," Freddie answered immediately.

"Like her, like her? The good kind of like?" she continued.

"Yes." Freddie shifted uncomfortably.

"Right. So you like Sam. Sam likes you. Sam kissed you. And you, the one who encouraged her to share her feelings, do nothing and just let her walk away?" Carly's voice increased in pitch as she outlined what had occurred.

But it was not your fault but mine
And it was your heart on the line

Freddie nodded, realizing more and more the massive mistake he had made.

I really f'ed* it up this time
Didn't I, my dear?

"Idiot," Carly exclaimed, hitting him over the head.

Didn't I, my dear?

"It surprised me. I thought she hated me. I thought she was in love with Brad," Freddie moaned, "What do I do?"

"Go find her!" Carly shoved him forward. "Fix this!"

It took a while of him wandering through the hallways peering into classrooms, he even had someone check the girl's bathroom for him, before he finds her. She was alone sitting on top of a teacher's desk watching something on her pearpod. He approached her tentatively.

Weep for yourself, my man,
You'll never be what is in your heart

"So I guess no is having any turkey sandwiches tonight," Freddie said, observing the container of deli meat in her lap that she had no doubt got from the food cart.

"No ham either," Sam said tonelessly, pointing to the garbage can where an empty package of ham lay.

He stood at the door unsure still of what to do. "What are you watching?"

Weep Little Lion Man,
You're not as brave as you were at the start

"Wrestling. What are you doing here?" she asked, with false irritation.

It was the impetus he needed. "I need to talk to you," he forged ahead before he could lose his nerve, "about the kiss."

Rate yourself and rake yourself,
Take all the courage you have left

Sam didn't look up, carefully pretending not to care about what he was saying. "I thought we agreed we were just going to forget that happened."

"I never agreed to anything," Freddie argued, walking in and standing right beside her.

Wasted on fixing all the problems
That you made in your own head

"You really think I care about your opinion," Sam retorted, rolling her eyes.

"I think you do. I like you, Sam," Freddie told her pointedly.

But it was not your fault but mine
And it was your heart on the line

"Look Fredwierdo, you and I, we hate each other. It works better that way. I'm leaving now," Sam said, avoiding eye contact as she slid off the desk and tried to move past him.

"No, Sam. I'm not okay with that," Freddie announced, putting a hand out to stop her from walking away. Doing what he couldn't do last time.

I really f'ed* it up this time
Didn't I, my dear?

"We don't hate each other and you know it. I'm in love with you too. I only let you walk away earlier because I was scared and shocked," Freddie said, a hand on her shoulder.

"That's a really stupid reason," Sam said softly, staring at him now.

"Yeah. It was," Freddie agreed before pressing his lips to hers.

Didn't I, my dear?

Sam responded quickly kissing him back as he let his arms slide around her and she dug her fingers into his hair.

To Anyone Who Cares: So here's the second version. I hope you like it! Of course, another happy ending but just another idea I had of how it could happen. I've got my fingers cross that they get together on the show. There could be another one of these but I'm not making any promises.
