A/N. Missed yesterday because of school, so I'm posting two now. This fic is one of my attempts to make Seddie actually TALK about their relationship.
Song: Count on You by BTR ft Jordin Sparks, missing moment from iLost My Mind.
They were on their way back from Troubled Waters. Carly was in the front with Spencer and arguing with Gibby about the next iCarly, leaving the new couple to hold hands and sort through their thoughts about the night.
"Freddie?" Sam said quietly, her eyes fixed on their entwined hands.
"Yeah?"
"Are you sure? About all this?"
He stopped idly playing with her fingers and looked up at her, eyebrows creased. "Yeah. Are you...not sure anymore?"
"No, it's just..." she let out a sigh. "Go easy on me, okay?"
He laughed, about to make a quip about how she could pin him to the ground in about 5 seconds when she shifted to face him and the solemn look on her face silenced him. As he studied her expression, took in the fear and hope and questions in her eyes, he began to understand what she was trying to say. I'm not good at this. Be patient with me. And please, please don't hurt me. I can't take it. The weight of the trust she was putting in him squeezed his heart painfully.
He wrapped an arm around her and tugged her closer to him, tucking her head into his shoulder and pressing a kiss to her temple. "I know this is scary. But you're not alone. We're going to figure this out together okay?"
He felt her nod, her body relaxing, and rested his head against her hair, surprised at how soft and fragile she felt against him. I'm not going anywhere, Sam, he silently promised.
