Here's the second one. And JSYK, these are all separate stories, so no continuity (a bit like the show itself… hmm…) Anyway, ENJOY!

Only Exception Paramore

Sam's loved so many others besides Kurt. He blames his bad luck on his father's countless divorces, flings, and re-marriages. It's just that his relationships ruined his life.

Finn was a bad mistake.

They're better off as friends. Finn's only bi-curious, and he's in love with Rachel, but he can't deny that when he and Sam shared a kiss, there were fireworks… at least to some degree. But when Rachel heard news of her boyfriend's affair, she had sex with him, therefore making anything Sam could offer that much more insignificant

Quinn was just a cover up.

She really truly loved him, but he had no way of reciprocating those feelings. He's gay, and there was no way any girl, cheerleader or not, was going to pull him out of that. It ended when they shared their duets victory dinner at Breadstix. At least she had the decency to hug him after they broke up. That break up was the easiest. It wasn't love in the first place. She didn't really count, did she?

Puck was a totally different story.

He's undeniably straight as any guy could be. But that didn't stop him from taking advantage of the poor boy, swearing with fingers crossed that he loved Sam. He nearly lost his virginity, but the rest of the guys stepped in before Puck could take it that far. Sam was so naïve. But he knew it wasn't rape.

Karofsky was the most painful experience in Sam's life.

It started with a simple kiss that needed to be kept under wraps. At first, it was exhilarating for Sam, sneaking around to make out, and going out of town for dates. But then it turned ugly pretty fast. In moments, Sam's virginity was stolen by the closeted gay, and it was humiliating and painful. Sam had to keep it a secret. Death threats flooded his inbox and wall, some even claiming that he stole Karofsky's virginity. He deleted all his internet accounts. Those five months following were terrible, but through all of it, one person was always holding Sam's trembling hand.

Kurt. The one light (besides Quinn) in all this darkness. He promised never to say that four letter word unless he meant it. But the first time he spoke it out loud, he meant it, and Sam knew it.

"I love you Sam, and I know you don't want to hear it, but I do."

Sam just nodded, trying with all his heart to believe that it would last, but seep in his soul, he knew it never would.

"I know what you've been through has… destroyed you, but I promise I'm not like the others. I promise I'll always take care of you. Do you understand me, Sam?" Kurt nearly shook the poor kid, trying to get this through his dense head.

"I understand, Kurt." He said, simply. "I just don't know. I trust you but… I'm sorry."

Kurt pulled his boyfriend into a tight hug. "It's gonna take time to love again. And if you never love again, I don't blame you. Just keep a comfortable distance."

Sam sighed. Up until then he was perfectly content being lonely, because none of it was ever worth risking himself again. But Kurt was an exception. He never forced anything, he never looked at other guys the same way he looked at Sam, and he never ever was anything but a girl's best friend.

But he promised himself not to get hurt again, because love doesn't exist.

Kurt was the only exception to that rule, and Sam knew his with all his heart.

He took a deep breath. "This isn't a dream right?" He normally had a tight grip on reality, but he couldn't let go of the perfect boy that was standing, so preppy and poised, in front of him. Maybe Kurt would leave, but he'd probably still be happy.

"No, Sammy, it's not."

He harrumphed. "I told you not to call me that."

Kurt gave the blonde peck on the nose. "Is that enough proof? That this isn't a dream?"

Sam's whole world clicked into place at that moment. He popped a sly smile. "No. No, it's not."

Kurt supplied a full-fledged kiss that nearly knocked Sam off his feet. "Why aren't you the little sly thing." He smiled, holding the boy steady, afraid he might faint with all that excitement coursing through his veins.

Sam grinned from ear to ear, showing Kurt what his big mouth looked like, all stretched out. "Thank you, Kurt. I'm just so happy."

Kurt slung and arm around Sam's shoulder. "That's my only mission in life, Sammy. To make you the happiest boy alive."

He was about to open his mouth in protest, but Kurt shut him up with another hurricane force smooch.

Sam knew what Kurt wanted. The only thing Kurt wanted. It wasn't sex, or a side fling or a duet partner, it was love.

"I love you, Kurt." He said, smiling even wider, if that was at all possible.

Kurt's expression jumped to concerned and big-brother like. "Don't say that just because, Sam. I'm fine if you don't mean it yet."

He pecked Kurt's cheek. "No. I really, truly mean it."
