I'm being SOO lazy! This was supposed to be up yesterday but my sister kicked me off the laptop. So today's one will probably be up tomorrow because I started to write this late, but I might be able to write a little something to be today's one. That's confusing, but hopefully you understand! Thanks Kuhane, again, for this idea! I wasn't sure what you wanted 'Fall' to be, so I put it as in the season. I'm from the UK so I never say fall, I say autumn, but I love autumn so read and enjoy! And guys, thanks for the reviews on SeddieShipper99's spanish version! You guys are amazing! And thanks for the ideas!

Day 22 of 100 Days of Seddie Challenge: Fall

Freddie POV

Fall, the best season in my eyes. I loved the way that the multi-coloured leaves would fall gracefully to the ground and the way they crunched when you stood on them. The only downside about fall is that it is working towards the cold chill of winter. Spring is colourful, summer is hot, Winter is freezing but autumn isn't too cold or too warm, it was just right.

I was walking next to Sam in the park – Sam had agreed to come with me to the park because Carly was getting ready to go on a date with some new guy she had been dating and Sam and I had nothing to do, so we went to the park.

The sun was beaming down on us as we walked through the large nature park, the leaves were snapping underneath our feet.

"This is so boring," Sam complained after we had only walked for fifteen minutes.

"Oh come on Sam, you're just being lazy. We've hardly walked!" I said to her.

"Yeah, but my legs are tired," she said slowly.

An idea suddenly popped in my head. "I could piggy-back you," I suggested.

I stopped walking and so did she. "Seriously?" she asked me.

"Yep." I nodded once.

She walked over to me and I got into an easier position for her to climb on my back. She clambered onto my back and did put her arms around my neck in a choke hold.

"If you don't mind, Sam," I said in a strangled voice, "I still want to breathe."

"Oh, sorry," she said, loosening her grip around my neck.

"Thanks," I breathed.

We walked – well I walked – with Sam on my back around the nature park.

"So how many times have you been arrested?" I asked Sam. Random question, I know.

"Urgh, who knows? I've lost count," she said simply. She was still on my back and she wasn't heavy at all, she was just a feather.

I laughed at her. "Are you comfortable on my back?"

"Yeah, I'm good. At least you don't have bony back like other people, that really annoys me when they do," she said.

I laughed again. I felt her rest her chin on my shoulder and she sighed. I could tell she was getting comfortable, but my arms were about to drop off, but I didn't dare tell her to get off me, I was enjoying the moment of Sam being tame.

"I've never heard you be so quiet," I said to Sam as we walked past a couple.

"It's autumn, it's my lazy season," she said, her chin still on my shoulder. Her cheek was against my neck and it was warm, even in the cold air.

"Every season is your lazy season," I stated.

"And that, Freddie Benson, is why you are my best friend: because you pay attention!"

"I'm really you best friend?" I was shocked; she'd never actually admitted it before.

"Yep and don't you forget it, I'm never saying it again." I wasn't counting on her saying it again.

"Don't worry, I won't forget it," I said.

We went back to our comfortable silence. I felt warm with her on my back, us being closer than ever, both physically and relationship wise.

After a while of me carrying her she finally said, "I think I'll walk now, it'll give you time to recover for when you carry me home," she said. And just when I thought she was going to be nice and let me have my space back, she said I'd have to carry her home. Typical Sam, but I wouldn't change her for the world.

"You're not even heavy," I told her as I lowered my body so she could easily get off.

"Wow, I haven't used my legs in ages, it feels like years."

"It's been forty five minutes," I said.

"Well it feels like years! Whoa, forty-five minutes and we're still walking around this park. This has to be the biggest nature park in the history of the world."

"Well, not quite the biggest in the world, but it is the biggest in Washington." (A/N. I'm making that up; I have no idea if there is even a nature park in the Seattle area let alone in Washington. I'm just a simple girl from London, is all.)

"Okay, enough with the geography lesson, Captain Techy," Sam said to me.

I shook my head. "Hardly a geography less—Sam, watch out," I said pulling her out of the way from a load of bikes going past us. It wasn't a very big path so we had to hurry over to the forest floor to the left of the pathway.

"Stupid bikers," Sam said, loud enough for the last biker to narrow their eyes at Sam before they speeded off.

"It's a tiny little path, I don't understand why there were thirty of them," I said.

It was starting to get darker as it got later in the day, the autumn air turning colder by the minute. I saw Sam starting to shiver a little and I took off my jacket. I offered it to her and she accepted it.

"Thanks, Fredifer." Ah nicknames, they never get old.

I was starting to get cold but I wasn't bothered about me, at least Sam was warm. I wanted her to be as safe and warm and secure as she could when I was with her, it made me feel better that she was okay. She was the thing that made my life more interesting, more fun, more enjoyable and I never wanted her to not feel safe or feel threatened. All of these feeling wouldn't really add up, I wasn't sure what emotions I was feeling.

Holy crab, I realised what I was feeling: love. I realised I was in love with Sam Puckett. She always made my day bright; she made it colourful, exciting, and beautiful. She was fall. It wasn't the season I loved. I thought that I loved fall but I didn't, I only loved it because I was always with Sam during the fall season.

"I think I love you, Sam," I said before I realised that I had said it out loud.

"What did you say?" Sam asked me, but I was pretty sure she heard me.

"Urrr...nothing," I said quickly.

"No you didn't...Did you say... Did you say you thought that you loved me?"

"Pffft, no." But I said it too quickly and a smirk appeared on her face. Great, now I was going to be teased for the rest of my life by the person that I loved, that makes a guy happy. If you couldn't tell, that was sarcasm.

She leaned into me and kissed me straight on the mouth. Well, I wasn't expecting that.

And with the fireworks that were exploding in my head, it confirmed my theory: I loved Sam more than fall.

Review! :D
