sam not knowing he has competition (as one-sided as it is) when he hangs out with misa post-season is literally the funniest thing like he really imagined a summer with just him and mees and here comes lardis and throws everything off whatever plans sam had and misa just goes with it which is the slightly more infuriating part but he also did not tell misa what he had planned in the first place so now all he can do is circle misa like a dog resource guarding
and i’m not quite well-versed in the micheal misa harem pre-sharks (besides whatever i learn about the ghost haunting the narrative: spence) but it would be funnier if they all wait for the post season to flock to misa and sam has a vein popping out from his forehead because what the fuck, micheal
genuinely estatic to see the dead best friend malcolm spence agenda infecting the community, it’s very near and dear to my heart. and you bring up some GREAT points here
sam really did expect post-season post-worlds that he was going to come back to toronto and have the misa filled summer of his dreams. he didn’t even really think there was another option because during the season it’s hard enough to drag misa out and about, sam assumes he’s only going to be more available when games and practice and media stuff isn’t taking up most of his time. except sam lands back in toronto and misa is apparently booked and busy for the rest of the damn summer.
at first it’s all the oakville stuff, seeing his family and training with lardis and luke. makes enough sense and sam keeps his indignation mostly to himself. then it’s zayne taking him out for drinks and bowling and concerts, and with spence back from college it’s like misa is never goddamn available. sam should not be fighting what seems like the entirety of the gta hockey guys society just to get lunch with misa. sam has his own damn friends but he doesn’t really give a shit about the fact he too could be busy when he sees misa smiling awkwardly on porter martone’s finsta.
they still see each other because sam is going to get his allotted misa time even if he has to embarrass himself in the process. misa is in toronto a fair amount anyways, wether he’s there to see sam only or a thousand other guys, is not important. but people like zayne, and spence, and lardis, and porter, don’t have the privilege to hook their chin over misa’s shoulder and say just cancel on him, you’re busy. it would be a lot more pathetic of sam if misa didn’t always agree. still, it’s hard to really capitalize on this because misa doesn’t exactly inform sam of all his plans, just texts him back srry im busy and then sam has to contemplate abusing his shared location privileges.
the van training camp is good though, almost pure sam and misa time whenever sam wants it. again, except for the fact nick lardis is there. sam didn’t even really think of nick lardis as competition because frankly, the guy is kind of boring. the fact misa was hanging out with him in oakville was just because he was in oakville and they grew up together, sam was so sure of that until he pops up in van. lardis keeps neatly to himself until the second night where sam looks up from his phone and finds him with his arm over mike’s shoulders. sam can almost ignore it except day three features lardis getting a pr on his sprints and misa noisly smacking a kiss on his cheek for it.
sam knows the stupid first kiss story and he still doesn’t find any of this funny. he understands the zayne of it all, misa’s best friend that has a large claim over his life, and spence, childhood tension, and even porter which no matter how much the guy wants it, is never going to happen. probably. sam’s a little shaky on that now because nick lardis is throwing a wrench in the plans here. he’s supposed to be the nothing important going on guy, sort of out of touch and in touch, boring guy. except he’s clearly not that because there’s about a two second delay when misa is about to get on the boat and sam is distracted by the sun in his eyes where nick lardis swoops in and holds misa’s hand as he gets on. it’s a pro move, is what sam is thinking, mostly because he didn’t even think to do that. how many brief hand hold seconds does sam need to catch up on?
it’s ruining his off season. not really but it’s a close thing! he’s thinking about it so much that when misa straddles him, warm and heavy over his lap in the bed, sam asks, are you and lardis fucking? misa blinks at him like he’s stupid and asks back, do you really want to talk about other guys right now? the answer is sort of but sam can wait until he’s fucked misa stupid.
