A/N Thank you for all the reviews, follows, and favorites. To my lovely beta LadiJ, you are the best! This is all my head cannon. Please excuse any mistakes, and enjoy the ride. The song for this one-shot is "Wanted" by Hunter Hayes. This was a song request by krazykay23.

I own nothing that is Glee, thank God, cause I know if I did ya'll would hunt me down and beat the shit out of me! I also have no rights to any of the songs mentioned.

WANTED

Sam watched Mercedes at her locker; he had found himself doing that a lot lately. Walking over to her he smiled when she noticed him. Damn she was beautiful. There was something about this girl that turned his whole world upside down and she didn't even know it.

"Hey Half-Pint, how are you this morning?" Reaching out he patted the top of her head knowing it would irritate her. She hated being so short, but Sam thought she was adorable.

"Sam, if you don't stop doing that I'm going to slap you and stop calling me Half-Pint!" Mercedes swatted at him as he laughed and dodged her attempts to hit him.

"And just how do you plan on doing that? Getting a chair to stand on? It's not like you can reach my face."

Mercedes stopped and turned so fast Sam slammed into her. Grabbing her to steady her he couldn't help but to inhale her delicious scent. She always smelled so good, like strawberries and vanilla with a hint of cinnamon. Still holding her he looked down into her eyes, a man could drown in them, and Lord, help him, her lips. He would shave off Puck's Mohawk for a taste of her lips. Letting his hands slide down her arms his fingers grazed her hips, Sam jumped when he realized what he was doing.

"Sorry Half-Pint." Sam could feel the heat spreading over his face. He had almost felt Mercedes up in the hallway.

"N-No, I shouldn't have stopped like that. I'll see you in class." Mercedes hurried off, did Sam just...no, that was just silly. Her heart fluttered at the thought of Sam's hands on her. She had a major crush on the tall green-eyed blond, but didn't think she had a chance with him. But a girl could dream.

"So when are you going to let Sexy Mama know you walking around with a boner for her?" Puck asked.

Sam jumped when he heard Puck's question. "I don't know what you're talking about." He could feel his face turning red, of all people to figure things out it would be Puck.

"Dude you were about to grope her ass in the hallway. I know that partial boner you sporting ain't for me, so?"

"I was not about to grope her ass." Sam started down the hall, "She's my friend, nothing else. And why are you eying my junk?"

Puck glared at him, "I'm eying your junk cause it's getting hard around Mercedes. Cedes is my little sister and I want to know why your shit is getting all jumpy around my sister."

Sam stopped and looked at Puck, "I like her ok? A lot, I have for a long time. But I don't know if she feels the same way. Half-Pint is hard to read. Sometimes I think I see something in her eyes, her expression but then she gives me this friend look so I'm as confused as hell." Sam rubbed the back of his neck. "Has she said anything to you?"

"Friend look? What the hell is that?" Puck asked puzzled. "What if she has said something? How do I know I can trust you not to hurt my sister?" He wasn't going to cut Sam any slack just because they were friends. Mercedes had been there for him when no one else would give him the time of day. If Sam wanted her he would have to convince him first.

"Puck she isn't like other girls, she doesn't play mind games, and she's upfront and honest. She treats everyone the same, she isn't a bitch even when people give her a reason to be one. She's smart, she's got a voice to die for and she's really nice. She's beautiful inside and out. She's just special." Sam knew Puck had information and he wanted it.

Puck listened as Sam talked about Mercedes, he had goofy grin on his face but his eyes were telling him that what Sam was saying was how he really felt about her. He knew Mercedes really liked Sam, he had watched her as she talked about the blond. He knew her feeling went way past like and now talking with Sam he could see he felt the same way. They didn't know it but they both had that forever shit written all over their faces when they talked about each other.

"She likes you, I mean really, really likes you. You're my boy but you fuck up and hurt Mercedes and I will beat your ass into the ground. Going back to juvie for her isn't a problem. You hurt her and I will end you." Puck looked him straight in the eyes to let him know he was dead serious.

"If I hurt her you can do with me as you please, she's worth it." Sam wasn't backing down, he wanted, no he needed Mercedes.

"Right now she's feeling a little down, those ass wipes that are supposed to be her best friends are doing a fucked up job of being a friend to her. Kurt has his nose so far up Berry's ass he can't breathe and Tina's so wrapped around Mike's dick that I'm expecting to hear about a baby Chang any day now." Puck snorted in disgust. "She's feeling like no one wants her. You need to show her it isn't true."

Sam frowned, what Puck said was true. He would watch as the three of them would laugh and giggle but those occasions were now few and far between. She spent time with Puck and with him but seldom did he see her with anyone else unless they were in a group.

"Got any ideas Puck?"

"Do what we always do, sing it dude, sing it." Puck stopped as he started to walk away. "Evans don't you fuck her over or they won't find your body." Giving Sam a nod he walked away.

Sam leaned against the wall thinking, he could do this. She didn't feel wanted...thank God for Hunter Hayes he thought with a grin. Pulling out his phone he sent a text to Puck, Finn and Artie.

Sam had practiced with the guys and he was confident that Mercedes would love the song. Mr. Schue had emailed them that he would be 30 minutes late for class and to practice their songs. That gave him time to make his case and with luck by the end of class she would be his. He grinned at the thought of her being his girlfriend.

Mercedes came in the room talking to Artie. Leaving him she turned to go sit in the corner at the back of the room. Feeling a hand on her shoulder she stopped, that tingle only happened when one person touched her. Looking up she met the gaze of the most beautiful pair of green eyes she had ever seen.

"Where are you going Half-Pint? Come sit with me." Sam smirked knowing she was going to get sassy with him for calling her Half-Pint.

Mercedes rolled her eyes, "Sam what did I tell you? I swear you are going to make me take you to the carpet." Punching him in the arm she smiled at him.

"Who do you think you're going to hurt with this little thing?" Sam laughed as he caught her little fist in his much bigger hand. Tugging her hand he got her to sit down between Artie and himself. Good he had her sitting where he wanted, now to wait for the bell and the rest of the class to come in and he could get his woman.

"Don't you know dangerous things come in small packages?" Mercedes teased him with a laugh.

Sam licked his lips as his eyes drifted over her body, "Yeah, very dangerous."

Mercedes eyes widen, did Sam just check her out? Before she could say anything the bell rang.

Seeing Rachel about to pop up and say something Sam jumped up, "I have a song I need; I mean I want to sing."

"Mr. Schue said we are supposed to-"

"Sit down and shut the fuck up Rachel, you heard Sam." Puck said. "Come on man let's do this."

Sam sat down at the piano as Puck and Artie grabbed their guitars and Finn sat at the drums. The room grew silent as the guys moved into place.

"This is for you Half-Pint. I just want you to know how I feel about you." Sam shot Mercedes a grin as began to play.

Mercedes gasped; looking at Sam she couldn't believe he had said that. Looking at Puck, he winked at her and nodded his head at Sam, mouthing to her to listen to the words.

You know I'd fall apart without you
I don't know how you do what you do
'Cause everything that don't make sense about me
Makes sense when I'm with you

Like everything that's green, girl, I need you
But it's more than one and one makes two
Put aside the math and the logic of it
You gotta know you're wanted too

'Cause I wanna wrap you up
Wanna kiss your lips
I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hand forever
And never let you forget it
Yeah, I, I wanna make you feel wanted

Mercedes couldn't stop the tears that were falling. She never thought Sam had feelings for her. Yet here he was, putting them out there for everyone to see.

Anyone can tell you you're pretty, yeah
And you get that all the time, I know you do
But your beauty's deeper than the make-up
And I wanna show you what I see tonight...

When I wrap you up
When I kiss your lips
I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hand forever
And never let you forget it
'Cause, baby, I, I wanna make you feel wanted

As good as you make me feel
I wanna make you feel better
Better than your fairy tales
Better than your best dreams
You're more than everything I need
You're all I ever wanted
All I ever wanted

And I just wanna wrap you up
Wanna kiss your lips
I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hand forever
And never let you forget it
Yeah, I wanna make you feel wanted
Baby, I wanna make you feel wanted

You'll always be wanted

Standing up Sam walked over to where Mercedes was sitting. Brushing her tears away with his thumbs he took her hands bringing them to his mouth he kissed them softly.

"Now you know how I feel about you. This isn't something new Half-Pint; I've felt this way for a long time. I want to be able to call you mine and for you to call me yours. Will you let me be yours? Will you be mine?" Turning her hands over, he kissed her palms never breaking eye contact.

Mercedes could feel the butterflies in her stomach as Sam kissed her hands. OMG! He was asking her to be his girlfriend! She couldn't speak all she could do was nod her head; finally she was able to whisper yes.

Sam heard her whisper, cupping her face he leaned down and pressed his lips to hers. He moaned in his head at how soft her lips were. Sliding his tongue over her lip she opened her mouth letting him taste how sweet her mouth truly was. Their tongues twirled and stroked in a dance that made both of their hearts beat faster. Needing air but not wanting to stop tasting her he kissed from her lips to her neck, capturing her lips again he kissed her deeply. Feeling her tug at his hair he growled as she broke the kiss.

Remembering they were in class Mercedes tugged at Sam's hair, hearing him growl sent her thoughts to a whole other level. She pressed her forehead against his, meeting his eyes which were a darker shade of green, she smiled.

"I'm yours and you're mine." she whispered to him

"I'm yours and you're mine." he whispered back

"Dude, you my friend and all but I'm going to need you to ease up on my sister. Remember what I said about shit getting jumpy." Puck laughed as Sam turned red. Everyone laughed as they crowded around them asking for double dates and teasing them.

Before he could respond Mr. Schue walked in the classroom. Hearing the laughing and clapping he looked at them puzzled, "What's happening did I miss something?"

"SAMCEDES IS UP IN THIS BITCH!" Artie crowed.
