Tina: Mhmm. Oh really now? Well I promise not to use myself against you then. ;) Do you? I'm glad you do, Sammy. Good then and I'm positive. Well i know, but just to keep us out of trouble. I can totally do it.

Tina: See you soon. ;)

Sam: Oh, you could a little bit, it'd so be worth it. ;) Yes I do, Tee, and okay then. I know we have a reason why, but for the record I wish you didn't have to. At least we get a few hours together.

Sam: Very soon. ;)

Tina: Then I will be sure to do just that. I told you that you always were a superhero. ;) I think so too... and the best way to get that would be in your arms. I definitely could, if you want me. I can always sneak out before your parents get up in the morning.

Sam: Ooh, good then. You did, but I think that makes you my kryptonite because you are my weakness. ;) Well I have to agree with you there. Of course I want you, and well if you're sure about it? I don't want you to sneak out like that, but it would be worth it too.

Tina: Well then, I'll have to keep you quiet using extremes measures. Well, who am I to argue with that? You're welcome, and yes you have-- it totally is. :) Thank you Sammy it's okay, just from not sleeping as well last night is all. I could always sneak over.

Sam: I think you should, it's only fair after all. Exactly what I was thinking. I knew it, and I like having this power. ;) Well you need a good night's sleep then I think. But I would be all for that happening too... think you could make it over?

Tina: Oh hush, you. That's not fair when I can't see you to shower with kisses. You're welcome, Sammy; good then. Heh, yeah you kind of always have. :) I'm glad you are! I'm a little tired, but feeling pretty good too. Just missing my guy.

Sam: Never! That's true but I'm willing to catch up when I do see you tomorrow. Thank you Tina, oh have I? So it's like a superpower. :) Well I'm glad you feel good at least, but I'm sorry you feel a bit tired. He's missing you too, he really wants to be there where you are.

Tina: You're sweet; if you ever are again, you know you can text me too, right? Well thank you babe, I'll keep that in mind then. And I totally crashed after talking to you, so I guess you could say that you calmed me completely. :) How are you tonight?

Sam: Sweet on you, actually. And thanks for that, babe, I promise I will. And good, I hope you do too. Aw I figured that's what happened, I'm glad I have that effect on you. :) Tonight I'm actually feeling pretty good. And how are you feeling?

Tina: :) Aww, can't sleep either? Well, thank you Sammy, still though. Yeah... I'm sure I am too - it's probably just the wind. I just couldn't get it out of my head. Me too, but just talking to you really is relaxing me.

Sam: :) Nope, I was just tossing and turning a little, so I'm glad you texted. And you're welcome, promise it's cool with me anytime. I'm sure it is, babe, aw I'm sorry for that. And I'm glad it is, I'll be up as long as you need me to. :) How are you otherwise?

[iron--sam]

Text || Samtina

Tina: Hi, you. :) Well thank you... were you? Okay, that makes me feel a little better then. I'm not sure; I think so, but I keep hearing weird noises outside. Maybe I'm being paranoid, but its a little freaky.

Sam: Hi. :) You're welcome, and yes I was. Good, you shouldn't ever worry about texting me, Tee. Oh wow, really? I'm sure you're fine though. I wish I could get over to your place and reassure you though.

Tina: Hey, baby. Sorry it's so late, but I couldn't sleep. I hope this doesn't wake you.

Sam: Hey there sweetheart! That's okay, I never mind hearing from you. And I was up anyways too. What's wrong, is everything okay?

[iron--sam]

Text || Samtina

Tina: Me either. Good, because you're going to hear it a lot. ;) Exactly... an A for effort, right? Mmm, you have the best ideas, my smart Sammy. I'm in. :)

Sam: Good, I can't wait! ;) Definitely an A, and I promise to give you a lot of effort. Thank you, and can't wait to see you. :)

Tina: I will then, cutie. You know me so well; I'd never back down for a chance to see you anyway. ;) Thanks baby, and you most certainly can. Now we'll have to practice the second part of that challenge in keeping quiet. :)

Sam: Can't wait. I sure do, and I'm glad to hear that. ;) You're welcome, good. All we can do is try... we might have to keep our lips together to muffle all the sounds. :)

Tina: I like when you call me that. Do you really now? I think it is; you know me, I can never turn down a dare. ;) Leave your window open for me?

Sam: Then expect to hear it more often, Tee. Yes I do, and I was hoping that's what you'd say. ;) I'll do that right now... so then I can expect a midnight visitor coming to say hi? :)

[iron--sam]

Text || Samtina

Tina: Thanks, babe; that's a relief. Of course, I'm always wanting to be closer to you. Well that's never been a problem, but yeah, I more or less meant the keeping quiet part. That sounds like a dare. ;)

Sam: My pleasure love. That's very sweet and I want that too. Well maybe it is a dare... one that we should put into practice then?

Tina: You don't find it too scary? Thank you Sammy, and yes I was... no? Well, no promises, especially if you start macking on me. Do you think /you/ can? ;)

Sam: Scary? No way. You're welcome, and I'm really glad. Is that so? Oh I'm sure I can start macking on you. Oh you mean keeping quiet? Mmm well only one way to find out. ;)

Tina: Awww, you were in my head again. I'm doing alright though, thank you. Just unwinding, really. Though I was feeling a little rebellious... I suppose I could sneak over for a bit and fix both of our situations.

Sam: What can I say, I like being in there. You're welcome Tee, I'm glad you are. Mmm were you? Well I can't say no to that... but do you think you can be quiet enough to keep our secret? ;)

Tina: How's my hottie of a boyfriend tonight?

Sam: He's good, but he'd be better if he had his girl with him right now. How are you, babe?

[iron--sam]

Isn't it Romantic? || Samtina

Tina: Tina didn't think she was necessarily changing in her new relationship; more or less that Sam was bringing out the other sides of her, some buried deep down, behind the tough act she put on to the rest of the world. It had always been a defense mechanism, or a shield, but she didn't need that anymore-- she had Sam. He would keep her safe and happy and she knew he would protect her. That didn't mean she was going to turn into this big old softie for everyone else, but for him, she was instantly a puddle of mush. Never in her life had she smiled as much as lately; another gentle grin pulled at her lips as Sam returned the sentiment, and granted her with another kiss. "So you made /me/ cave first," she chuckled against his mouth softly, the depth of the kiss strengthening and Sam's small growl gave her a tiny jolt that had her clinging to him just as closely. There was something insanely hot about those primal noises he always made, when for years she'd thought he was so shy. Tina meant it when she declared Sam the best boyfriend ever; the guy put up with her - that in itself deserved a gold medal. As they shared bites though of the first slice, she made a comment about being a better girlfriend, to which Sam quickly assured she didn't need to try and be better at, or anything else, even. "I know I just... this is new to me too. I just don't want to mess anything up," Tee added tentatively, but when he explained that he'd be happy as long as she'd have him, Tina wanted to make sure he knew that she had no intentions of letting him go. "Well then you might be stuck with me forever... if my plans go accordingly. I hope you're prepared for that, Samuel," she mused playfully, before further pledging her affection for him. Sharing in more of their meal had both Sam and Tina giggling or growing even closer, her small frame situated as flush to his as they could muster in his lap now. They were definitely still in that new phase of a relationship, but Tina hoped maybe it would just be a constant now that they were together, no fears standing in the way. "Trust me, you have me all night long. All weekend, actually... since we have the place to ourselves." Her cheeks lit up a deep shade of rose as Sam's finger trailed along her cheek and jaw, Tina's eyes fluttering at the soft touch in the process. She just really, /really/ needed him to know that no matter how much she had worried about her reputation in the past, it wasn't something she ever wanted to take away from what they had. When dubbing herself a sap for him, she'd meant it shamelessly. Sam seemed happy with her declarations, and he too promised that he was proud to be with her as well; that this had been a life long dream come true, and her heart skipped happily at those sweet words. She had never thought of herself as the girl anyone really wanted in that way-- but knowing that the best of them all did had Tina thrilled, her confidence at an all-time high now. "Trust me, if you're nuts, then I'm crazy... about you," she chimed in with a light laugh, her arms winding tighter about his neck as their foreheads met tenderly. "I want everyone to know it too," Tina mumbled softly, brown eyes locked on his green. "I'll be yours as long as you'll have me too, and the world should know it. Just be aware that if any girls make a move on you, I can't promise I won't kick their ass." Smirking, Tina closed the gap between them once more, her teeth giving Sam's lip the tiniest nibble before she drew back a little. "You were right; definitely best Valentine's Day ever. And we're just getting started."

Sam: Tina's smile could light up a room, and she just seemed to be doing it so much more often ever since they got together. The first night they'd slept together, there was no greater sight than looking over next to him, curled up in bed with just a bare shoulder exposed over the covers and her beautiful smile looking back at him. "Yes I did... and what are you gonna do about it?" He snickered as she rested against him, both enjoying the moment very much between them, her mouth on his time after time with kisses. Sharing a couple of bites of food with her had them speaking about being better, which Sam didn't feel was even necessary. She had obvious insecurities about being a good girlfriend, yet Sam couldn't imagine her as anything but the best. "You won't mess anything up, Tee. We're in this together, neither you or I have ever been in this position before so we're learning together." Her thought brought a very wide grin to his face, her talk of forever sounded more than fine to him. "Forever is what I'm aiming for, Tina. I hope your plans are foolproof." A little more pizza shared between them as she nestled in comfortably on his lap, the wheelchair certainly accommodating the closeness they both craved. This part of the relationship, when they practically couldn't keep their hands off of one another, wasn't looking to be ending anytime soon, especially not with an empty house like she had tonight... or most nights. She confirmed that he had her all night long now, and brushing away strands of hair from her face as he traced the curve of her cheek, a tender moment as she let him lean in, forehead pressing against hers softly. "Then we're both more than a little bit crazy, aren't we? I want the world to know, and everybody else to be jealous that we're together." Sam laughed gently as she threatened any girl who tried to take him away from her from this point on, knowing full well that Tina truly did mean it. "Let them try, they're no match for you anyways. And I'm not about to trade in the best thing that's ever happened to me for anything or anyone else." Tina began to kiss him, and he felt the pinch of a tiny nip to his upper lip as she smiled mischievously. "Believe me, I know. I'm not going to be forgetting this one anytime soon. And don't think that I don't have a few tricks up my sleeve for tonight too, babe. Happy Valentine's Day."

Isn't it Romantic? || Samtina

Tina: Tina knew she probably seemed different as of late-- she was. She was happy. That was due to Sam; no longer having to keep in that secret adoration for him was so freeing, and she was enjoying every single moment of being his girlfriend. Tee teased about what a sap she had become; she liked to muse about it being something only he knew about, but the harder she thought about it, she became a little concerned. The last thing she wanted him to think was that she was ashamed-- that was far from what she was feeling. Maybe the old unhappy Tina would have preferred things this way, but she was no longer her. Yes, they hugged and traded kisses in the hallway, but no longer did she want to make a point of keeping her affection limited to behind closed doors; Tina wanted the world to know she loved him... even if Sam himself had never heard her say it. While it may have seemed premature for such a bold statement and all, given that they were still in the newlywed phase of coupledom, that love had been blossoming for years. It just took a damn long time for her courage to finally set in. "Well, you're usually the one coming up with the better puns, so I'll let it slide this time," she grinned softly, catching his lips just barely with the tiniest nip. "Oh /please/, like you could. There is no competition for Sam Evans," she corrected. "There never has been. I just didn't want you to know that for the longest time. But now you have the right to know the truth." Sam's little growl and grip tightening had Tina clutching to him that much more, her own tiny moan tumbling out at his primal responses. "Early dessert is fine... so long as it doesn't spoil your dinner." Lighting up as he agreed she was the best girlfriend ever, Tina's heart swelled when Sam pointed out that he'd been good this year, and how he felt he was the lucky one to score her. "We both are actually, and I can only be the best girlfriend to the best boyfriend. Being with you has really changed everything Sammy. For the better. You make me want to be better." Another kiss had the brunette's hands raising to Sam's cheeks, cradling them gently as she let her tongue curl around his, lazily enjoying the way he tasted, and the warmth radiating within her body with even just the simplest actions on his part. It wasn't until they withdrew that Tina realized Sam had cut into the pizza; she chuckled softly at his words, eyes meeting his own joyously. "If you call cutting it preparing, then fair is fair. But when it comes to my real heart..." she trailed, grinning again as another cheesy sentiment was about to slip out; albeit, sincere. "All the pieces go to you." Gently biting into the slice, Tee let out a little moan, she trying to be as dainty as possible as she savored the flavor. Once again she was all smiles at his words, and taking the pizza, now proceeded to feed Sam a bit instead. "I'm glad it is, Sam. It's the best one I've ever had too... and it's only going to get better as the night goes on," she promised. Pausing as he ate, Tina decided to say aloud what she should have a long time ago. "For the record, when I meant I'm just a sap for you... that's true, literally. But don't be surprised if it starts happening more often. I'm proud to be with you, Sam; you make me happier than I've ever been, and I never want you to think otherwise."

Sam: There was no greater satisfaction than being able to spend the night with Tina like this, she was treating him to a sweetly put together evening with his favorite food and movies, all while being so perfectly irresistible. Pulling her into his lap and lazily being able to kiss her, she wasn't pushing him away or trying to put up walls between them... this was how he'd wished it always had been between them. At least they'd finally reached the point where they'd been honest with one another, and the closeness they'd been able to achieve since was life changing. She seemed to appreciate being called his better half, correcting him from thinking there was anyone who could compare with him though which brought a new smile to his lips as she continued to kiss him. "The same goes for you too, you know. I didn't want to be the first one to say it but you've always been the one for me too." She was content on showing him as much affection as he was in giving her, and after a little growl slipped out it only seemed to strengthen her resolve. It was now his turn to gush a little bit, admitting how good he'd been last year and in return had gotten the best girlfriend possible for Christmas; she quickly calling him the best boyfriend too. Sam reached for a piece of the pizza she'd prepared as they resumed the kiss, neither one shy about indulging in a taste of one another now. "You know you don't have to be better at anything, Tee. Just keep being yourself, and I'm yours for as long as you'll have me." It was slightly worrying to Sam that she thought she needed to change; the facade she held up was without question more fierce than how he knew her, but that wasn't a reason itself to drop it because now they were together. Sam was enamored with all parts of Tina, and as he held up a little piece of pizza offering it to her, she agreed to the gesture; adding that as far as her real heart was concerned it belong completely to him, every piece of it. He fed her the bite sized piece and grinned as she so obviously enjoyed it, the subtle moan spilling from her lips giving Sam a shiver up his spine. Though accustomed to most of the noises she could make, it was all still fairly new to Sam. Opening his mouth as she took a piece and fed him right afterwards, and chewing and swallowing it as she watched and spoke of how good it was, Sam had to agree completely. Pausing to finish his bite before answering, "As long as I get to be with you, I know tonight's going to get better and better." Tracing her cheek with his index finger once she spoke about being so proud to be with him, the smile unable to be removed from his lips now. "And here I didn't think it was even possible to be even more nuts about you, Tina. I'm so proud to be with you too, I've wanted this for so long and it feels like a life long dream's come true. I'd never think otherwise... as long as you realize exactly what you mean to me too." Tightening his grip around her waist with his other hand now, pulling her closer against him, Sam's forehead rested gently against hers now as he stared her in the eyes. "You're my girl, and I want everyone to know."
