BlaineDAnderson: British Invasion week!
SamEvans3: BlaineDAnderson are you gonna sing phil collins to me again? ;)
rosenwalls: SamEvans3 BlaineDAnderson backstory pls….
The first time they're approached by actual fans is on the Sunday after Rock week. They go out for coffee after saying their goodbyes to Santana and Brittany and end up in a quaint hole-in-the-wall type of coffee shop that seems to have a devoted amount of regulars. The place isn't even half-full, but Sam goes ahead and gets a table while Blaine orders for both of them. He's going through twitter on his phone, posting on his private account, when he becomes aware of two girls who look no older than twenty standing by the table.
"Hi, can I help you?" Sam smiles up at them and the girls' eyes widen.
"Hi," The girl with the purple scarf breathes. "Hi. You're Sam Evans."
"That I am," He nods, a bit taken aback at being recognized. "I'd say something like 'And you're...'" He makes a waving motion with his hand, "But I'm afraid I don't know your names."
"I'm Lily Anne," She giggles and tugs her nervous looking friend forward. "And this is Mary." Mary meekly smiles at Sam and he shakes both their hands.
"Nice to meet you, Lily Anne, Mary."
There's a sort-of awkward moment of silence that follows. Lily Anne looks like she has a million things she wants to say while not knowing what to actually say and Mary is shyly avoiding looking at Sam. It's a little surreal to him, actually, because it's usually him that's awkward around girls, not the other way around.
Then Lily Anne suddenly blurts out, "You're really hot." And she immediately looks mortified at her sudden outburst and hastily adds, "And a really good singer! Like, really good! I voted for you. Like a load of times. Oh my god."
"Thank you," Sam says sincerely, grateful for all her compliments. "I really appreciate that." And he really does. Because it's one thing to vaguely get the idea that people are voting for you and another thing for someone to straight up say that they really are. It's encouraging.
"There you are," Blaine appears with two hot drinks and a bagged pastry in his hands. "I should've known it was you making friends with these nice young ladies." Blaine gives the two girls his own smile. Mary softly squeaks, her cheeks and the tips of her ears turning red and both her and Lily Anne's eyes widen.
"Thanks, babe." Sam grins when Blaine hands him his drink, the petname slipping out automatically from years of use. He takes a sip of his tea, finding it already sweetened just right. "It's perfect. Oh, and this is Lily Anne and Mary. They're fans, I think."
"We are." Lily Anne nods fervently. "Oh my god. Blaine Anderson. You're here, too. Well, of course you're here, too, I mean Sam's here so it makes sense you're here together. Yeah. Our friends are going to freak."
They end up taking a picture with all four of them together on Mary's and Blaine's phones. They even give them hugs, though Sam was a little worried about how red Mary turned when Blaine hugged her.
"Well that's gonna be online within the next few hours." Sam says jokingly after they had parted ways with the girls.

andervans:
Today was crazy. Lila (evansonssss) and I went out to our go-to coffee shop (they make the best caramel frapp, I swear) and when we were about to leave, we saw Sam Evans sitting at one of the tables! We went up to him but he was on his phone and we didn't want to disturb him… but then he looks up and smiles at us (swoon). Lila kinda word-vomited and told him how hot he was (and trust us, he looks even better in real life) and we were kinda embarrassing, but he was totally sweet and didn't seem phased at all and not once did he drop the smile. And then. AND THEN BLAINE APPEARED. He was there too omg. He's just as sweet and didn't look at us weirdly even if I was pretty sure I was as red as a tomato and inwardly screaming. Blaine had drinks for the both of them and when he handed Sam's to him, Sam said "Thanks, babe" and that his drink was perfect with the widest smile. Shipper!me died. We took the picture above with my phone before we left (Blaine took another one with his own phone which is just AAAAHHHHH?) and basically Lila and I are now dead and this is my ghost blogging.

"So are you singing Phil Collins?" Sam asks while he goes through his show-provided iPod. They're lying down beside each other on Sam's bed Sunday night, both looking and listening to song choices for British Invasion week. Tomorrow they're expected to talk and sing to their mentor, after which is rehearsals and rehearsals and rehearsals.
Blaine gives Sam's leg a kick. "No, I'm not singing Phil Collins. I have a song picked out already."
"Ooh, which one?" Blaine hands him an earbud and plays the track, Sam nodding halfway through in approval, "You'll be great with that, not that you aren't always. Here, I was thinking of this one."
"Huh," Blaine blinks at the track. "That's a good song, and you'll do well with it, but I didn't expect you to pick that one of all the songs, not really."
"Yeah, well, Simon had a point about me picking the same kind of songs a lot. So I thought to pick something a little more different this time." Sam shrugs. "And I remembered when New Directions sang it."
"You're going to kill it," Blaine assures him.
Kelly more or less shows the same amount of surprise as Blaine, but she also thinks he'll perform it well. "This is good," she tells him, "While the guitar thing is obviously your niche, a little diversity never hurt anyone."
Monday and Tuesday pass by quickly, and suddenly it's Wednesday again. He's a little more dressed up tonight, with his hair neatly combed back and wearing smart casual clothes.
This time their performances are preceded by a short video clip of them, and Sam watches video-Blaine talk about how music had helped him through some dark times during his early teenage life. Cooper even makes an appearance, the most affectionate he's ever seen him as he tells the camera Blaine's early penchant for performing.
Blaine's rendition of Things We Lost In The Fire by Bastille goes really well, as Sam knew it would. Adam loves the bridge in particular, and the other three judges are positive as well.
Three singers later, Sam is up. While the video of him talking about his family and glee club friends plays, a piano is rolled in the center of the stage. Sam's not playing it himself, but it does it's job setting the mood of the whole thing. (And if imagining it was Blaine playing it behind him soothes his nerves, well, no one had to know.)
He sings Coldplay's The Scientist.
"That was beautiful," Blaine whispers when he returns backstage afterwards, echoing Sharon's earlier words as he holds Sam tight.

Blaine Anderson :(
"We're going to start asking everyone to bring their own snacks," Kurt tells Blaine over the phone Friday night. Apparently, their friends in New York have taken to watching the show together over at Kurt and Rachel's every Wednesday and Thursday. "Every week I remind them that they have their own televisions, but they just keep coming back like cockroaches."
"It's because yours is the newest." Blaine says. He's looking through the list of songs they'd given all the remaining contestants for next week. Another Over 25 and one of the girls were sent home last night, leaving only eight of them left.
"It's a year old and from a Black Friday sale."
"I know, I was there when you got it. You got the last reserve ticket and that guy behind us looked ready to wrestle you for it."
"Anyway, the other day I found an admirer of yours among our new interns. James, you've met him, let it slip in front of them during lunch that I'm friends with you and Sam. He did it intentionally, I bet." Blaine can tell Kurt rolled his eyes right then. "But I don't think I've ever seen someone's head snap up that quickly."
"Yeah, this actually being famous thing is still pretty surreal." In addition to last Sunday's encounter, he and Sam had come face to face with a couple of more fans. "Like, we were just out for lunch and our waitress asked for a picture and our autographs before we left. Autographs. And then there's all the teenage girls." Blaine scrunches his face and acts a little whiney as a joke.
"You poor baby," Kurt deadpans, unsympathetic, "Living a teenage boy's fantasies with the fame and girls all around."
Blaine snorts back, "I don't know about you, Kurt, but my teenage fantasies never really had girls in the equation."
"You and Sam are going to break all their hearts when the truth about your relationship comes out." His friend says gravely. "One of them might even be the next Carly Rae Jepsen. She'll write a song indirectly about you two and her in some catchy tune everyone will either love or hate."
"I hope I'm in the music video, then."
"Don't be ridiculous, I've already cast that Disney newcomer from that show Puckerman swears he doesn't watch, as you. He's taller. Now, about that story Kitty sent…"
"Remember our Sadie Hawkins?" Sam asks after the call to Kurt finishes, flopping across Blaine's stomach and causing the smaller man to let out an oomph. He's holding his own song list, a bunch of songs already highlighted for consideration much like Blaine's is.
Blaine peers down at him. "Yeah, what about it?"
Sam grins. He moves, rolling and shifting until he's now squished against Blaine's side, and points to a highlighted text on his sheet. Blaine reads the song title and turns amused.
"What d'ya think?" Sam smiles wider, "Take the risk?"
"You have a whole decade of musical hits to pick from, and you're choosing No Scrubs." Blaine laughs. "I'm not sure if you're being sentimental or if you just don't want to do the Backstreet Boys."
"Well, someone took Iris." Sam pointedly looks at him. Blaine turns a little sheepish but doesn't apologize. "So, what? Think I have enough sass for this?" He does a swaying movement with his body that honestly looks a little ridiculous while he's lying down.
"They're gonna think we picked each other's songs." Blaine bumps the sides of their hips together. "You better put some of that White Chocolate flavor into your performance then, or else you'll be hearing from Mercedes."
"I'm more afraid of hearing from Artie, to be honest."

The first time they meet, it's in a coffee shop before school and Sam accidentally spills his tea all over Blaine's uniform.

As friendly as Sam and Blaine try to be, they're not really that close with the other contestants. Sure, they get along well enough with everyone, but for the most part everyone sticks to their own categories or groups. And North Dakota spends most of his free time with his family, which is why it's usually just the two of them hanging around together.
That isn't to say there hasn't been any memorable interactions with the other contestants. Once, Sam and Blaine are watching TV in the shared living room when Filipina appears, looking frazzled. She's looking under the pillows of the couches, and then shuffling through the magazines on the coffee table, muttering a string of words in her native language. It's not the first time she's talked to herself in non-English in front of he and Blaine, as she seems to slip into it when stressed, and she could be saying anything. Sam can't tell if they're good or bad; he knows Na'vi, not Filipino.
Then Blaine, not taking his eyes off the television screen, says, "I saw a phone in the kitchen earlier. Maybe it's that one?"
Filipina drops the magazine she had in her hands. And stares at Blaine.
Blaine smiles guilelessly back.
After she scuttles away to the kitchen, looking terribly embarrassed and mortified, Sam turns to Blaine. "Huh, I thought you said didn't know Filipino?"
"I said I didn't speak it," Blaine says, "not that I didn't understand. It's hard not to pick it up after being exposed to it so much."
"Cool," Sam goes back to watching the television for a few moments. Then asks, "So during all those times she talked…"
"She has a surprisingly colorful vocabulary, is all I'm saying."
When he tells Kelly his song choice in all seriousness, she laughs in surprised delight.
"Boy, you're just full of surprises, aren't you?" Kelly grins, after Sam performs the song for her the first time in rehearsals. He just sheepishly shrugs in response.
"I try."
He's strapping on his guitar for this one and this time he gets some back-up singers, which is really cool. Sam has fun with the song and he knows his friends would get a kick out of it at least.
Tina is back in LA this week, this time dragging Mike with her. Then on Tuesday night, they find out that some members from their senior year's New Directions have also flown in from wherever they've been going to college, giving them the biggest crowd of friends in the audience they've had so far. Blaine's old friends Wes and David are also there, to Blaine's pleasant surprise.
Sam's No Scrubs performance is well received, for the most part. Adam admits to being initially skeptical of his song choice, but he thinks Sam pulled it off pretty well. Sharon thinks it was cool and sexy and not over-the-top as it could have been. Simon is more neutral, saying that he sounded well but looked like a kitty trying to be a tiger or something like that, a comment which most of the audience boos him for (Sugar, in particular, can be heard from amongst the large crowd of voices.)
Blaine sings the Goo Goo Doll's Iris with raw and real emotion. It amazes Sam how Blaine is able to put himself out there so easily, because whatever Blaine is thinking about, it can't be denied that his performance is the most honest of the night. They don't talk much about Blaine before the Warblers, before New Directions, before becoming each other's best friends - and Sam doesn't push about it. What's in the past has passed, and they prefered to concentrate on their present and future. He's gotten the gist of it of course - hard not to after five years of being close, four of them dating - but this time might very well be the first time he really, truly understands.
Later, after 90's Night finished hours ago and they're back in their room, Sam spoons Blaine as they lay in bed, fitting their bodies together naturally against each other.
"Hey," Sam whispers, pressing a kiss against the skin of his boyfriend's neck. "I love you."
Blaine cranes his head back towards him, enough for Sam to see the smile on his lips. "I love you, too."

"Hey, Blainey, it's Mama. I just wanted to let you know I've been watching your shows on TV. Your father has been too, I'm sure. We're both very proud of you and Sam, and we really wish we can see you live - but, you know how work is. I've just got back from Florida and your father is still in London. But we'll try to at least visit LA soon. I'll talk to you soon, okay, baby? I love you." Beep. "End message. You have no new messages."
After Thursday night's show, there's only six of them left. It's down to Sam, Blaine, North Dakota, Filipina, Country girl, and the five-girl group. The last of Sharon's Over 25's was just eliminated, as well as one other group. Kelly's inordinately pleased on her acts making up half the remaining competition, but with one singer getting eliminated from next week on until the final three, it's still hard to say whether or not any of the Boys will make it all the way through. Sam hopes Blaine does, at least.
Kitty and Sugar delights in showing them more links to fanfiction they've found in the internet and sharing it to all their friends during dinner, to Blaine's horror. Tina shows a terrifying interest in it, to which Mike can only apologetically shrug at the two of them for. Sam's family is thankfully put out of the loop regarding the matter, but Cooper is having a field day with it.
"So, we're all dying to know," Cooper grins wide at his brother, eyebrows wagging, "did you two really do the dirty in the McKinley locker room?"
"No," Blaine insists while his brain is breaking a little at the thought of his brother reading fic about he and his boyfriend. Not that they haven't read a handful themselves, but it's different since they're the ones being written about, so they kind of had the right to see for themselves. Or at least that's their justification, if anyone asks.
But then Sam, feeling a bit mischievous, starts to say, "There was that one time-"
Blaine shoves some of his french fries into Sam's mouth. "No."
As far as weekly themes go, Songs from Movies is undoubtedly an audience favorite. Sam naturally picks the classic Falling Slowly as his song, but Blaine seemed to have a dozen songs he wants to do so he tries to help him narrow down his choices. ("Movie week, Sam!" Blaine had exclaimed, "Do you know how many amazing movie musicals there are?") In the end it's between Let It Be and Hairspray's You Can't Stop the Beat. While both are easily recognizable and crowd favorites, they're vastly different songs in every way, so Blaine opts to ask Kelly about it during their rehearsal session. The latter eventually wins out - it's about time Blaine sang a fun, lighthearted song as his performances so far had been more on the emotional and serious side.
Sam is in his element this week, with the perfect song in his backpocket and owning it. His ease is evident enough that the judges even comment on it in addition to their very positive feedback.
Blaine, on the other hand, gets the audience on their feet after starting the song slow and simple. He manages to get energy buzzing through the whole stadium, which is such a Blaine thing, because he always had a way with getting the crowd going.
It's Country Girl who is let go this week. Not because of her performance - at this point everyone's at their best - but it was just a matter of not getting enough votes. Blaine is relieved not to be voted off this week of all weeks - his parents had finally gotten a few days' reprieve from work and was able to attend both shows.
"Wonderful job, boys," Blaine's father told them a little stiffly Wednesday night, but there's no denying the pride in his eyes. "We apologize it's taken us this long to watch you live."
"It's fine, Mr. Anderson," Sam assured him while Blaine was swept up in a hug by his mother. "You're here now, and that's what matters."

With them performing two songs this week, things get a bit busier. Wednesday's performances determine who gets to move to the Semi-finals for a chance at the Top 3 Finals. They're going for songs from the Billboard 100 from the past year and, as always in this point of the competition, an unplugged performance.
Sam does something from Mumford and Sons for the first song, and then Counting Stars by OneRepublic as his unplugged choice. Unfortunately, with the exception of Kelly, the judges, while say he's good, don't think they're particularly wow-performances, especially since Filipina performs before him. It's a little discouraging, but he's in the Top 5, so that's something.
Blaine does Kelly Clarkson's latest hit and a stripped down piano-only version of Katy Perry's Part of Me. They're both really good performances and Sam's feeling really proud of his boyfriend now. There's no doubt he's going to the next round.
But then Thursday night, the biggest shock of the season happens and practically everyone is staring at disbelief at the bottom two contestants - Filipina and Blaine. They're both to sing to keep their spot in the competition, and both give the performance of their lives.
The judges are split evenly between them - the women backing Blaine while the men are for Filipina. That meant that whoever had the lowest number of public votes has to leave.
Mario opens the envelope and says, "The act going home tonight - with only less than half a percent of votes from the other - is…"
