Hi again everyone! This is chapter 4. Still major Blaine and Sam relationship (and conflict!). I want to made it a bit of an angst, so I hope I'm doing okay :)

Sneaked out from inside the school in the middle of the day was never easy. And with the repetitive whispering and pointing, Sam never really understood how glad he was when he reached the bleacher in the field.

Every time he felt down, or sad, or confused, he usually talked to Blaine. But this time was different since the cause of his emotional meltdown was Blaine himself. Blaine was a very uptight guy and he consistently played by the rule. Sam never really bothered by that fact because most of the time, that quality of Blaine frequently saved them from trouble, or even, as a Student Council leaders, helped them performed many amazing achievements. And...Blaine was very logical and smart, although, not very much lately because of the proposal thing, but still, Sam adored him for his intellectuality.

Sam knew Blaine was totally right earlier about Stevie and Stacey, but that's not actually the problem. Sam was mad because Blaine didn't support him like the way he supported Blaine, and here comes again the main problem : the proposal. At one time he and Tina discussed secretly about this thing, and both of them agreed that Blaine was partially crazy, since he and Kurt weren't even a couple. And they came up with conclusion: how come two literally random people (not totally random, maybe, since Blaine and Kurt had a major and confusing relationship history), can get married?. But both of them helped him picked the ring, anyway. And that's what matter, right?. That's the point of being a friend.

Sam never really hoped anything in return from Blaine...well, at least not until this morning. And that's a new thing for Sam, too. He was too used being around Blaine, too used being his best friend, and too used being so understanding about everything Blaine. That many too used conditions probably resulted in unconscious impact : sometimes he needed to be understood by Blaine, too.

Sam sighed after his deep reflection, looked at his phone and saw the clock. It's still long way to go to his next period, and he eventually decided to laid his back down in the bleacher and took a little nap.

He just didn't know that his plan maybe not so successful, because a few minutes later after he closed his eyes, a familiar voice heard.

"You didn't have lunch"

Sam didn't have any intention to woke up.

"Everyone was whispering. I don't understand what would happen if I had lunch" Sam said without looking at the person he talked to. He just smelled the specific strawberry gel scent getting close and getting intense as the time passed by, the scent that he so used to smelled.

"I'm sorry, man" Blaine said, sat next to Sam's head.

Sam didn't say anything.

"...for whatever I did that made you so angry" he continued.

Sam took a very deep breath.

"You're actually right, dude. I'm sorry, too" Sam finally responded, still with eyes closed and his right forearm covering them.

Sam could sense Blaine's relieved breath.

"So...what were you doing earlier there, Sam?. That didn't sounds like...you" Blaine asked.

Sam didn't answer directly.

"I was mad because you're not supportive" Sam said. There was it. He spilled out the real reason.

Blaine's eyes got widened.

"What?" he responded, half of his mind didn't believe what he just heard.

"Yeah, I know, I'm being silly" Sam said, finally sat up. Now he can saw Blaine clearly right next to him.

Blaine squinted his eyes, getting more and more confused.

"Silly is not answering my question properly. The rest is not. So, tell me" Blaine said, pretty much glared at Sam.

"Silly is letting your brother and sister neglected their education so you can feel okay about something" Sam said, chuckled. Sam's chuckling was so infectious Blaine can't help not to smile.

"You're not silly. I understand. Stevie and Stacey are very important to you. I guess... I didn't quite understand the relationship between siblings that well...considering my history with Cooper" Blaine said, gave Sam a sad smile.

"Don't say that, dude. You're so attentive to Steve and Stace sometimes I considered you as their real brother" Sam said, in a more not-so-desperate tone.

"Really?" Blaine asked in disbelief.

"Yeah. This morning Stace even asked me whether you can come to our place after school" Sam answered.

"Sweet Stace" Blaine responded, his heart melted simply by that fact. Stacey's a very sweet angel.

There was a momentarily silence between them. Blaine really need Sam to opened up about his emotional meltdown this morning, and Sam actually need to tell Blaine about his sudden weird needs to be given support, too.

"Sam...you really need to answer my question earlier" Blaine finally said, nervous. They usually had a heart to heart talk, but this time, Blaine felt a different sensation. He had a very strong gut feeling that this time, it's not going to be their usual bro "talk".

Sam wasn't the nervous-type person. In everything. He was brave, bold, straight-to-the-point kind of guy. But right now he was kinda not in his comforting place. He even felt that dealt with Blaine's crush was way more easier than this. He wondered why he could be this nervous.

"Okay. So here's the deal, dude" Sam said in his most daring voice possible.

"Earlier, I wonder about why I can be so supportive with all of your decision, but you can't do the same" he continued.

Blaine rolled his eyes toward his best friend. He wanted to answered when Sam said hurriedly,

"...and then I realized, that I'm being unreasonable".

Blaine pursed his forehead, didn't expect that Sam being "unreasonable" was the new realization Sam had.

"What?" Blaine asked.

Sam lied, once again. He always took the easier road : avoiding conflicts. He remembered what Artie told him that afternoon. The most important thing was all of them had a good terms with each other.

"Yeah, I'm being unreasonable. Stevie and Stacey need their education, and you didn't support me was the logical...and the right thing to do" Sam explained it more deliberately, unless Blaine felt that wasn't a deliberation at all.

"Don't lie to me, Sam" Blaine said, still believe that one didn't simply have such an anger when later they realized that they're just being "unreasonable".

"I don't" Sam said, lied again.

Blaine actually already had a few hypotheses. The strongest one was, yeah, the jealousy and support thing. In the past few weeks they always talked about him, Kurt, ring, and the proposal stuff. Blaine can understand Sam had a probability of getting bored and feeling left behind, so Sam wanted something in return from Blaine, which, Blaine totally okay about giving that. The presence of Stevie and Stacey might added the spices a little. Blaine wanted to came up with this idea, but this wasn't easy, especially if that's not the actual reason why Sam had that sudden outburst.

"Really?" Blaine asked again.

"Yeah" Sam said, smiled widely, like he used to do. Luckily, Sam was good with covering things up...or lying...or pretending, especially to Blaine. Like, when he ate that chocolate bar Blaine gave him although Sam didn't like everything in a bar form at all, or when he said he was okay when Brittany dumped him regarding the pain he felt, or when he said he wanted to support Blaine picked out the ring and proposing to Kurt, regarding the shallow reasons behind it.

Blaine looked at Sam halfheartedly, even though he knew that when Sam gave that wide smile he frequently showed, it means pure sincerity and no lying.

"Okay, then" Blaine said, took a deep breath.

"Ah dude, have you seen Ben Israel newest article?" Sam asked Blaine with his typical shiny enthusiasm.

"I've heard about it. But I haven't read it yet" Blaine answered.

"You have to read it. We're like...heroes of the school or something" Sam said, gave Blaine his phone so Blaine can read the article.

Blaine read the article and a few minutes later were quite shocked.

"He's good at writing, right?" Sam said, shook his head in irony.

Blaine nodded, and remembered the second order of business he had to encountered.

"Masses' opinion can be so affecting, Sam. Those kinds of comments can jeopardized the Council and even...school board" Blaine said in worry.

"Yeah. I actually think about that, too. Do you think the School Board will ban the Student Council if they know that their leaders are in an 'endangered relationship?' " Sam asked, quoting Jacob Ben Israel's phrase in his article.

Blaine laughed a little bit.

"I have an idea, Sam" Blaine said.

"What idea?" Sam asked back.

"Next week we're going to have assembly, remember?. Figgins told us right before Regionals?" Blaine asked in excitement.

"Yeah, I remember. So?" Sam answered, not really understood the idea.

"So...we need to tell the school that you and I are in a good terms" Blaine said, opened his arms in the air.

"We can make sure that School Board know that they don't have to worry about their Student Council!" Blaine continued, proud of his own idea.

"Yeah, you're right, dude" Sam smiled. He will follow any ideas that came up from Blaine's head, anyway.

"Okay. Do you have class after this?" Blaine sat up, checked on his watch. It's five more minutes until the lunch time is over.

"Nope" Sam shook his head.

"I won't have Art until the next one hour. I guess I'll be staying there until then...continuing my nap" he said.

"Okay, then. I'd better take off so I won't be late for Physics. See you in Glee" Blaine said, ran down the stairs.

Sam was about to had his seriously sleeping phase when Blaine suddenly called him from the ground near the field a few minutes later.

"What?" Sam woke up again, squinted his eyes.

"Just want to make sure. That phrase JBI used to describe us... 'endangered relationship'....we don't have it, do we?" Blaine asked in awkward mode. The intense sun rays behind Sam really helped Blaine not looking at Sam properly, because his expression couldn't be seen as obvious as when the sun wasn't shine this bright.

"We're okay, dude" Sam said, forced his typical grin. The grin that always covered his real emotions.

Blaine replied by showing his most tender smile. He checked on his watch once again and then turned around his body, ran towards the school building.

Sam thought to himself as he watched his best friend ran across the large green field in front of him,

"A little white lie won't hurt anyone, right?",

He nodded as an answer to his self-question, and then a few seconds later, he laid his head back on the bleachers, continuing his nap, which already delayed this afternoon...twice.
