A/N Hey guys, ready for more Blam? Thought so! :D

I don't own Glee.

Chapter Nine

Sam leant against the corner of the wide halls of McKinley high, watching. Ever watching. He looked on as Blaine laughed at something Unique had said, her honey coloured eyes shining in the summer sunlight, the corners of her eyes wrinkling and her smile wide and carefree. He sighed as she deftly tucked a stray dark curl behind her ear with her small graceful fingers in the self conscious way she always did but never realised. He could feel the dopey grin rising on his face as he carried on observing his girlfriend further. He had never seen anything so beautiful, so perfect. In her little blue summer dress with a blue band in her hair she looked radiant. Sam almost chuckled aloud when he watched her helping Marley and Kitty out with what must have been a difficult piece of music, her arms flapping wildly as she tried to describe what they needed to do to perform the song well. He loved her passion and excitement. The way she waved her arms about when she was thrilled about something. She was so generous and had the biggest heart. Sam felt the squeeze inside his own chest, leaving him almost breathless as he looked on. Every day his heart squeezed just that little bit tighter when he looked to his Blaine. He loved the crinkles at the edges of her eyes when she was truly happy, he loved her crooked little smile when he did an impression and she was trying to pretend he wasn't being daft. He loved how her tiny little hands felt so warm in his own. He loved that she made him feel so special, like he was the most important person in the world, that she only had time for him and him alone. He had never felt this before, not with anyone. He had cared greatly for many girls, even claimed to have loved a few and some had elicited small flutters inside his heart, but never this powerful before. He was falling and falling hard. Blaine was magical to him in every way. He loved her more than anyone. He wanted her love in every way but he wasn't going to push.

After her burst out the last time they made out Sam had slowly started to open his eyes. He loved Blaine for sure, but could he love her if she were a boy again? He didn't know. All he knew was that he loved her right now and that he didn't think that was going away again any time soon. He hadn't realised how she had felt on the inside though and it had given him pause for thought. The only conclusion that he could decide right now was that Blaine was and always would be his best friend no matter what. But he was starting to see the small quirks of Blaine's that she had had when she had been a boy as wondrous and was beginning to love them all deeply. He couldn't help himself. He was a fool for her love.

Sam slowly wandered up to her as he watched the other members of New Directions leaving Blaine for their own classes, leaning against her as closely as he could, taking a deep breath in of the raspberries and cream smell that was always Blaine. She glanced up to him and her face beamed at him, her eyes liquid and shining from mirth.

"Hey Sam." Blaine coyly replied, twisting her body from right to left gently and looking up at him through her incredibly long, dark eyelashes.

"Hey." He breathed out knowing he had the most huge goofy grin on his face on the entire planet right now. This was the affect of her though. He wanted to smile at her all day long. In fact he just wanted to be with her all day long. Or forever if he could.

"So um, about this weekend away for our senior ditch day, it looks like the younger kids want to tag along so..." Blaine began, looking suddenly nervous and very unsure of herself.

"So what B?" He asked gently, pulling her into his arms and sighing in delight when her arms slid around his waist, holding on tightly as she laid her head onto his chest.

"People are gonna have to share rooms." Blaine blushed brightly as she looked up into his eyes for a second then turned her head back down so her ear was pinned to his chest where his heart lay. He could feel the butterflies in his stomach fluttering all over the place as his exhilaration grew to palpable proportions. Was Blaine suggesting that they share a room?

"Awesome! So we can share right?" Sam beamed down at a wide eyed Blaine who looked a little stunned at his enthusiasm.

"Erm, I don't know. Tina might wanna share with me..." Blaine bit her lips as she drew both inside her mouth, something Sam found to be simply adorable. She looked so young and gorgeous and he wanted to kiss her so badly in that moment. He decided there and then that he was going to share with Blaine no matter what. He needed to share with her. He wanted to lay beside her all weekend long, talking and giggling and kissing and, if he was lucky, more.

"Can she bunk with Unique or something? Pleeeease I wanna share with you." Sam pouted for good measure knowing that Blaine would cave. She always did when he gave his best puppy dog expression. Blaine smiled her delightful crooked grin up at him and sighed lowly, shaking her head up at her boyfriend.

"Ok, I'll fix it. But only cause it's you." He swore he hissed out a 'yes' because he heard Blaine chuckle as she began to stand on tiptoes, leaning against his body. He bought his lips down fiercely on hers, drinking her in deeply as they kissed lovingly and passionately. When Blaine pulled away he could feel her ragged breath on his lips and she kissed him once more sweetly. "Bye gorgeous." With that she took her English book out her locker and waved a goodbye to him as she raced to her class. Sam couldn't have cared less what his first class was, he just wanted to stand there and remember that kiss till he saw his Blaine all over again. Yep, he was definitely in love.

Tina stared open mouthed at her friends news as they whispered to one another in Maths class, not listening to a word that their teacher was telling them. "You're sharing with Sam? But I thought you guys weren't... you know yet?" She hissed at her friend incredulously.

"We're not, but he looked so cute I couldn't say no Tey. What do I do? What if he wants to? I'm really freaking out right now." Blaine nibbled on the skin of his bottom lip, worrying it till he felt the tang of blood in his mouth. Was this really happening? Was he going to be with Sam this weekend? Blaine was terrified at the thought and yet, somewhere deep down he yearned for it with all his heart. He didn't know what to do. Didn't know the right path to take. He loved Sam with all his heart, but did the boy love him back in the same way? Could he love him if he were a man again? Blaine wasn't sure and it was these uncertainties that made him reticent to take that last, final step with Sam.

"Then just say no. Either that or have sex Blainey. Maybe you should buy some condoms just in case." Tina told him bluntly and Blaine groaned softly under his breath not quite believing he was having this conversation with Tina of all people. He wasn't sure he wanted his friends to know this much about his sex life, or lack thereof.

"Oh God... I can't believe I'm even having this conversation." He buried his head in his hands, not even keeping up the pretence of listening to the class any longer. When he felt Tina's hand grip his arm tightly, he peeked round his fingers hesitantly.

"Look, listen to me Blainey Days, Sam really cares about you. The way he grins at you in a dopey way when you aren't looking says it all." Blaine's hand came down from his face, his brows furrowing in bemusement. What was Tina saying? When did Sam look at him in a dopey manner? He had never noticed that. Tina was surely lying. But what if she wasn't and Sam was looking at him in his loving dopey way? What did that mean? That he loved Blaine? Could he? Did he?

"He looks at me in a dopey way? What kind of dopey?" Blaine asked breathlessly, his heart racing. If he does love me then maybe, just maybe we could be together in that way.

"There's more than one when it comes to Sam?" Tina inquired, clearly amused at the thought of Sam having multiple dopey expressions.

"Of course. There's his 'I have no idea what you're talking about' dopey, his 'I did something wrong but I'm going to pretend like I don't know anything' dopey, his 'I'm a complete geek' dopey and then there's his 'I'm totally into that girl' dopey." Tina giggled aloud causing the teacher to frown at the two girls at the back of the class and they both hung there heads in shame, getting on with their work. After a few minutes silence between them with the teacher glaring at them occasionally, Tina whispered out her reply.

"Definitely the last one." The bell rang then but Blaine had to know more, he gathered his things together rapidly and rushed to follow Tina out, catching up with the girl, grabbing her arm and slotting his into the crook of Tina's elbow.

"Really?" He squeaked out joyously, his eyes shinning happily and he bit down on his bottom lip in nervous exultation.

"Yes! Jeez Blaine. Just share a room with him already. I know deep down you want to. But you do realise all of us are going to be there so the chances of you having sex are greatly reduced anyway." Tina warned, grinning broadly and waggling her eyebrows causing Blaine's face to flush scarlet in response.

"Tey!" Tina cackled as she raced away to her next class leaving Blaine embarrassed at the thought of them being together and one of their friends seeing that, but at the same time his stomach flopped as his heart began to pound in his chest. This weekend might be it. The weekend where he was finally with Sam. I mean if Sam loved him then there was no reason to wait any longer...

Artie placed his lunch tray down onto the round grey table next to his tall, blonde friend and eagerly asked what his plans were for their weekend away to the cabin by the lake that they had rented out. He himself couldn't wait. All of New Directions were going now and he felt that it was going to be a lot of fun, especially since Kitty would be there to share it with him. "So who are you bunking with this weekend? Wanna share with me?"

"Sorry dude, got a better offer." Sam replied around the food in his mouth as he shovelled more of the macaroni inside, wolfing it down like he hadn't been fed for days.

"Oh like who?" Artie asked, curious. Artie didn't think he could be referring to Blaine because he was sure that they weren't having sex. From the way that Blaine was still a little awkward in her body around Sam he could say with a lot of certainty that they were not at that stage in their relationship yet. Although when they got there Artie was going to be super jealous of Sam, and he had a feeling he wouldn't be the only one. Blaine was seriously hot. No guy would ever deny that and the person who got into her pants first? Yeah, he was going to be a lucky son of a bitch.

"Uh, duh!" Sam rolled his eyes, scarfing his pasta with relish. Artie stopped cutting at his chicken breast and gaped at Sam. Blaine really was sharing with Sam? When did that happen? It must have been a very recent development indeed.

"Seriously Blaine is going to bunk with you. And when I say bunk, I mean bunk with you? I thought she told you she didn't want to yet?" Tina, the gossip that she was, had told Artie everything she knew about the couple. That was the other reason that Artie was pretty sure that they hadn't done the deed yet. That was, he had been certain, up until right now.

Sam shrugged nonchalantly as if it were no big deal. But this was definitely a big deal. This was the hottest girl in school they were talking about and quite notoriously the hardest girl to get into bed. "Maybe she's changed her mind?" Sam mumbled.

"In a week? Maybe you should talk to her about this Sam..." Artie was sceptical. If they weren't together completely he wasn't sure Blaine would want to share with Sam, who, for obvious reasons, would want to well... Any man would. But if so he risked losing Blaine once and for all and Sam was his friend so he didn't want that for him if at all possible. Even if he was insanely jealous at the fact that he had landed Blaine as his girlfriend.

"Nah, it'll be cool. Blaine's cool with this, she looked totally stoked to be sharing with me. This weekend's gonna be awesome." Sam smiled at his friend, not looking at all worried.

"Hmmm..." Was all Artie could reply. This weekend was going to be interesting to say the least...

Blaine's mother watched as her daughter set about packing her small suitcase full of summer clothes, a bounce in her steps. She smiled affectionately at her youngest child. Her little girl, but not a little girl at all any longer. She was clearly in love with Sam and Sylvia Anderson was under no illusion that her daughter would be her innocent little girl for much longer. "Almost finished packing sweetheart?" She called out and her daughter spun around, her cheeks flushed and her eyes glazed over in love. Oh yes, I've seen that look before. I had that look once. She's completely besotted with him.

"Yeah..." Blaine breathed out, scuffing her bare foot along her carpet, uncertainty reaching her eyes. My daughter never could keep a poker face. She always gave everything away in her eyes.

"What's wrong honey?" She asked coming in and perching herself on her daughters bed next to the suitcase, starting to fold up her daughters hastily thrown in clothing and smoothing the slight wrinkles out. Blaine sighed and popped herself down on the other side of the case, throwing her bikini in haphazardly causing Sylvia to chuckle and start re arranging the clothes once again.

"Sam wants to share a room with me..." Blaine told her, looking over at her mother searchingly. Sylvia could only nod. She knew this was coming after her talk with Blaine the other day.

"And you don't want to? Or is it that you do want to but you're scared?"

"I... Well I... I don't know." Her daughter flushed brightly, wringing her hands, picking at the edges of the skin around her nails nervously.

"Sweetie you need to talk to him properly this weekend about everything because if you don't you might regret it." Blaine's lower lip began to wobble and Sylvia pushed the suitcase backwards further onto the bed so she could slide across and pull her little girl into a hug. "Besides you can share a room and not have to do any of those things. But if you do decide you do want to then be safe my love won't you?" She kissed Blaine gently on her forehead and her little girl smiled sweetly at her, wiping away her tears hastily.

"Thanks mum." She felt her daughter wrap her arms tightly around her neck, hugging her furiously and Sylvia began stroking her girl's back soothingly.

"You're welcome, and have fun my darling. But don't do anything you don't want to alright?" She hoped with all her heart that her beautiful little girl would be happy whatever she chose. Sylvia liked Sam and knew he would never push her girl into anything, of that she could be certain. She had a feeling she knew exactly what her Blaine would choose. She was her mothers daughter after all...
