Oxygen Chapter 4: If We Were Lovers, a glee fanfic

"If We Were Lovers"

"Hi, Coop," Sam said, hugging Blaine's brother. "It's so good to see you again! It's been what? Six months since the last time you came to town?"

"McCallister!" Cooper shouted as he tightly hugged Sam. He always said that Sam reminded him of Macaulay Culkin. "Squirt's not here, he mentioned something about going to Kurt's."

"Oh, he did? Oh, well… can you tell him that I stopped by?" This time he couldn't hide his pain, and Cooper noticed it.

"No, that's it. I can't take it anymore. Come with me." Cooper dragged him to Blaine's room. "You guys are getting on my nerves and you need to see this." Cooper turned on Blaine's laptop and had Sam sit on the bed.

"Hey, man, I don't think you should be using his laptop, that's like invading his privacy or something and it sucks when people do that…. Trust me, I know," Sam said, getting up from the bed.

"Sit your ass down and watch this video. You'll thank me later." Cooper left the room and Sam sat there watching the video.

The video started with Blaine looking at the camera and tuning his guitar. He then smiled and started saying, "Hi, Sammy, this is video number thirty-eight another video you will probably never see… Anyway, I wrote this song after our game of suck and blow. My feelings for you have not changed, I am still so in love with you." Blaine couldn't stop smiling. "That kiss just reassured me of that… Anyway, I feel kind of dumb doing these videos, but this is my only outlet for my love for you. So… yeah…. Here it goes."

One day soon, it's gonna happen just by chance
You and I will just succumb to this romance
On that day my love will find you
And you'll discover what a wonder life can be
And you will know how much I love you

If we were lovers
If we were more than just good friends
I know how good it could be
Just by the way you're looking at me

As if we were lovers, if we were lovers
I've waited so long for that day
I think you feel the same way
You try so hard not to give it away

Afraid that I'll discover
What in your heart you know, is meant to be
Darlin' if you want it to be me
To be the one to say, I want you

Then I'm telling you now
Gonna find a way somehow, to be your lover
And spend the whole night making love
Then find it's never enough

Just think what we are giving up
Every day that we're not lovers
Few times in our lives can we feel this way

It would be a shame just to throw it away
Time is slipping by, we don't know what's ahead
I don't want to look back and have any regrets

The song ended and Sam was crying, but they were happy tears. He wanted Blaine to be there and tell him he felt the same way but his joy turned into sorrow when he remembered the reason why his best friend wasn't there next to him: Kurt. He cursed under his breath and started to feel anger towards Cooper for showing him this. He saw the file where Cooper opened the video from, he was tempted to open not one but all of the other videos. He opted to close the laptop and give Cooper a piece of his mind. He opened the door to Blaine's room with a determined mind to go off on Cooper. How dare he drop this bombshell when he knew that Blaine was with Kurt? But then, why did Blaine sing that? Blaine is not a liar, Sam thought to himself. As soon as he opened the door, he bumped into Blaine who was coming into his room.

"Sammy! What are you doing here?" Blaine asked, smiling. He went for a hug from Sam but the other boy evaded it.

"I have to go," he said, trying to leave the room.

Cooper appeared and said, "You're not leaving, Sam. Blaine, I used your computer to google my name and I… kinda did some snooping around and found your Sam videos…" Blaine's face gave away how shocked he was.

"You did what!?" he shouted. "Sam, those videos, they were private! No one was supposed to see them," he said, giving Cooper an evil look.

"Well he did and not it's out in the open, so do something about it," Cooper said, pushing the boys inside the room and closing the door. "DO NOT COME OUT UNTIL YOU GUYS ARE AN ITEM, I MEAN IT!" he yelled through the door.

"Oh my God, Sam I'm so sorry… I, I, I don't know what to say." Blaine was red in the face from anger and embarrassment. "He had no right."

"Why did you lie to me? You said we couldn't hang out because you had to hang with your brother but you weren't here, you were with… with your soul mate," Sam said, looking down. "You've never lied to me and now I find out that you have been keeping secrets from me too?"

"Sam, I… okay I lied because I had to take care of something but didn't want to tell you what it was… and wait a minute, you are keeping secrets from me too! What about your dormant feelings?" Blaine said, crossing his arms.

"Okay, well, that I mean... You weren't supposed to read that!" he said, looking at Blaine for the first time.

Blaine got up and started to walk around. Neither one of them would say anything.

"I went to talk to Kurt, I needed closure, I needed reassurance from something that I already knew from long ago. I don't love him, Sam. I needed to know that we were definitely over. Sam, he's not my soul mate. Oh, and get this: he did sleep with Chandler, and with some random guy at a club, but guess what? I don't care. In fact, I am relieved that he did that. I don't feel bad anymore that things didn't work out with us," Blaine said, getting closer to Sam.

"Did you really mean what you said in video number thirty-eight?" Sam said taking a step closer to Blaine.

"Well, that depends. Did you mean what you wrote about your dormant feelings?" Blaine said with a big smile plastered on his face.

Cooper knocked on the door.

"Come on guys, your kids are starting to get antsy and stopped listening to Uncle Cooper a while back. I can't control them anymore!"

"Can you believe that we owe all of this to Cooper? I mean who would've thought that ten years ago he locked us in this room and forced you to stop being a butthead and admit that you loved me?" Sam said rubbing his nose to his husband's nose.

"Butthead? I haven't been called that since… well, never! I have never been called that, but if I recall it correctly you were the one that wouldn't admit that you loved the way I smiled and looked at things when I was concentrated," Blaine said, cupping Sam's face and planting a tender kiss on his lips.

"Okay, okay, we're both buttheads that owe Cooper all this happiness! What do you say we go downstairs and control your children," Sam said, getting up from under the covers, giving Blaine a full view of his rocking body. The blond knew that his husband adored the way he looked, especially when he wore those skimpy red Santa undies that Blaine had given him five years ago. Yeah, he still had them and they still looked great. Blaine was just staring and Sam loved that he still had that effect on him. "B, you with me?"

"Huh? Oh yeah… and what, so now they're my children?" Blaine said, coming off his trance-like state.

"Well yeah, when they are little monsters they are all yours." Sam laughed and embraced Blaine in a warm hug. "I'm kidding, they are my world and I love those little monsters."

"We have a pretty good life, huh, Mr. Anderson?" Blaine said looking into his love's eyes.

"That we do, Mr. Evans, that we do… Oh by the way, merry Christmas, love."

"Merry Christmas, baby." And after they kissed they went downstairs where Kevin and Kelsey were waiting impatiently with Uncle Cooper.
