“ totally the best DATE ever…” he doesn’t beat around the bush ; perhaps a part of him thought blaine would assume this was just a friendly hang out like any other time , but hearing the word date come from his lips , even if carefully disguised as a freudian slip , brought a smile to his face . it wasn’t like blaine was kind of perfect for him ( except he totally was ) ; they made sense , at least sam liked to think so – just as he also liked to think blaine was as into him as he was . “ i’ve been … kind of meaning to ask you for a while but i didn’t want to step on anyone’s toes or anything . i just want you to know that whatever happens , i’m your friend first and that’s never gonna change .”
Hearing Sam use date back? Only made him even more thrilled that he had the stroke of guts and a loose tongue. Blaine would be lying if he said he didn’t have times where he daydreamed about the two of them doing things that meant more than friends. Where Sam would look at him in a way he wished a boy would. Because not even Jeremiah gave him that stare that he wished he could catch someone giving him because they were just as wrapped up as he was. Sure Sam was always happy to be with him. Vice versa. But…this could be a way to be more than happy? An ear to ear smile and he nodded enthusiastically. “Of course. Nothing will ever change that. Or ruin it. Or us. I promise. This is… Forget toes. You could have asked me any time and I would’ve said yes. You’re you.. We–we got to make plans. I want to take you to lunch. Or breakfast?? We could get breakfast first and grab lunch there? Anything you want. Let’s make a day out of it.”
