Let’s Talk About The Wedding || Fabrevans

[photographer-quinn]

Quinn knew that planning a wedding wouldn’t be Sam’s idea of fun necessarily, but she thought that it might be a good chance to be able to have a chat about some of the ideas that they might have had, or even to try and get some inspiration for it. She and Sam hadn’t exactly had a lot of time for themselves recently, and she felt like maybe if they spent some time talking about the wedding, they might be able to get some of that closeness back for the afternoon. Bringing food back for him was one of the ways she was going to convince him that maybe this was a good way to spend the afternoon.

“Well I’m not entirely sure if people do use them… Maybe they don’t, but I got a little excited on the way to getting the bagels, and I saw them on the news stand… I couldn’t help myself!” She said with a laugh, knowing that sometimes she was a sucker for these kinds of things. She might have been distracted by the different things there were to organise. This was the only wedding that she was planning on having, and she wanted to make sure that it was 100% perfect for both her and Sam. She wasn’t one of those brides that thought it was only about her, it was going to be perfect for the both of them.

She leaned herself into Sam as they got themselves comfortable on the couch, resting her feet up to put the magazine in her lap. “Well, all we really agreed on was the fact that we wanted to have the wedding in Tennessee, right? So that we can be close to your family?” She asked, making sure that this was still the idea that Sam wanted to go through with. “So we can’t really choose a place for it since we’re not there. But we can still look at the other parts to it. Like cakes.” She grinned, flicking through the magazine to where the cakes had been photographed. “Some of these are… really fancy.”

[sammyinnewyork]

Sam took another bite of his bagel as they spoke about the wedding magazines, he had no idea what was inside those anyways, but he would find out soon. He finished his bagel, before pressing a small kiss to Quinn’s temple, “I can tell that you’re excited.” He grinned, he knew her better than anyone, it was nice to see her so happy about something, especially when he’d seen her super tired most of the time recently. Wedding planning really seemed to make her happy, “I guess we can check them out.” Sam stated, he wasn’t really sure how the real wedding planning looked like, mostly because he hadn’t really thought about that so far but he assumed Quinn knew what she was doing. He trusted her with that stuff.

He tightened his arm around Quinn as she moved a bit closer to her, enjoying the feeling of being ‘normal’ for the first time in weeks. The little moments of them just acting like an average couple were his favourites and he wanted to cherish them as much as he could. Hearing the question about the wedding in Tennessee, Sam pursued his lips. He wasn’t entirely sure if that was a good idea, it was something he had mentioned randomly, and hadn’t really thought about that much, “I don’t know, babe.” Sam said, “My whole family is there, but this wedding is about us... not just me. I’m sure we want our friends to come, and they live in New York.” He told her, wondering how hard it would be to make the final decision, “I’m okay with both options. I know I mentioned Tennessee back then, but it was kinda random and maybe not really smart...” He spoke, his eyes focused on Quinn. It wouldn't be easy to plan the whole wedding, however he believed that together they could do anything. Both of them wanted that one day to be special.

“Woah, the cakes.” Sam said impressed as Quinn opened the magazines. He had never been really aware of variety of those things, “Wow.” He repeated, staring at some of the offers shown in the magazine, “Those are amazing. And super expensive too, for sure.” He mused, glancing at Quinn for a moment, before pressing a soft kiss to her cheek. No matter what they were discussing, he just wanted to enjoy being with her.

Still My Best Friend || Samtina

[shytina-chang]

Things had been two distance between her and her best friend and maybe the time that the two of them had been away, as much as it did suck not seeing each other seemed like something that she needed, just like she had six months without Mike. Distance was sometimes needed to realise the things that make one realise what you really missed most. Admittedly Tina did miss Sam, like a lot. Her smile grew, “I know but I think that was merely pregnancy brain and I wasn’t my best but nothing can break us apart.” The two of them had been through so much it would be stupid to throw it away over some argument, “I won’t let you miss anything promise.” Tina had been very attentive at documenting all of Joey’s movements since she was worried Mike might miss something major but in her luck so Mike hadn’t. “Of course I want him to have at least another good male influence in his life just like Mike and Blaine but Jesse and Sebastian,” all she had to do was pull a face hoping that Sam caught her drift.

Thinking about Joey growing up was a little scary, as a lot of message bored online kept saying that time flies with a little kid hence why Tina was treasuring every moment of him not talking before gave Joey a chance to answer back, but if her and Mike raised him right that would not be an issue. “Of course and I expect nothing but the finest nickname for our little superhero in training,” she joked ruffling her son’s hair. Tina still glad that Sam just fell back into place in her life. Now another person for Joey to look up too, the more the better as she wanted nothing but the best for her son.

“I beg to differ,” she scoffed laughing at his joke shaking her head. Boys will be boys, was not a motto that was gonna stick in this household, even though she was a little outnumbered she had a trick or two to make it her way. Handing Joey to Sam, the blonde boy had the same expression change as everyone did holding Joey. She took it in for a moment, tilting her head to the side watching the two. “I know he is. He is just perfect. He was worth everything.” Looking at the tiny boy Tina felt proud everything she went through because he was worth it. Tina grinned,”Joey likes you,by the way,” she commented.

[sammyinnewyork]

“Pregnancy brain?” Sam asked, raising his eyebrows. He had never really considered something like that to exist, but then again, even if he had younger siblings, he wasn’t an expert when it came to that stuff. Women were complicated, that was just a fact, “Yeah, the pregnancy brain couldn’t break us apart so basically nothing can break us apart.” The blonde joked, teasing Tina a little bit. There was no lie in his words though, he had missed her, and he truly hoped that they wouldn’t experience any fallout again. Their friendship was strong, or so he liked to think, “I like the sound of that.” He said, now completely seriously. As she spoke about Mike’s friends, and the male figures Joey would have in his life, he chuckled. The tension between Tina and some of the guys was still the same, it was plain obvious, “This is gonna be interesting.” He laughed a bit, he would always be there for her though, and he was glad she knew that.

Sam couldn’t help but grin when Tina called Joey a ‘superhero’, “Yeah. I think he would make a perfect warrior. You know, samurai style.” He said completely seriously, immediately making the most of his imagination. They would have fun, that’s for sure. It would also depends of what Joey would be fond of, his favourite cartoons and movies...He tried to stop himself from analyzing that though, mostly because Joey was still too young to understand what was going on around him.

“It’s just a fact.” Sam stated completely seriously, glad that him and Tina could still tease each other like nothing had happened before. He focused on Joey as he was holding him, a small smile still present on his face. There was something really special about this boy, “He’s great.” Sam said quietly, “My mom always says that there is nothing more memorable than holding a baby or something like that.” He was pretty sure that she had added something about ‘your own baby’, but he wasn’t sure of that so he just skipped that part. Hearing that Joey seemed to like him, he lifted his head a bit to look at Tina, “You think so?”

Blaine nodded with a grin as they spoke about their honeymoon, “Yeah, I’m telling you, there was nothing else like it. I’ve always wanted to visit Europe, and I finally got to do it, but it felt even better than I thought it would, what with being a newly-wed and all that,” he shrugged, he was sure that Sam would understand when it was his turn, it wasn’t really anything that you could really put into words, it was definitely something that you had to experience for yourself. “Oh, well I’m sure you’ll figure something out soon,” Blaine shrugged, giving Sam a little smile. He supposed that was the difference between them and him and Sebastian, when Sebastian had proposed to him, they’d both decided that they hadn’t wanted to waste anymore time and get married to each other as soon as they possibly could, Sam and Quinn seemed different, in that they were happy to remain engaged, which was perfectly fine for some people. 

“Yeah, but talking to her isn’t going to ruin anything for her, I mean, you’re engaged now, you’re supposed to talk about these things,” At least that was what he and Sebastian did together, if Blaine had any problems, then he’d immediately go and talk to Sebastian about it, and when Sebastian was stressed with school stuff, then he’d talk to Blaine, and in their experience it had made their relationship stronger, maybe it was just something that Quinn and Sam had to get better at, that was his theory anyway. 

He laughed when Sam said that, as he could see that he was trying to help, “I mean, he’d never force me to quit, he just thinks that I could do better, it’s not as if we really need the money that I get from working here, and if I wasn’t here then I could focus more time on my music,” he explained, not wanting him to think that Sebastian was trying to control him too much, “I know he’s got a point, but I don’t know if I’m ready to give up this place just yet,”

[sammyinnewyork]

Sam’s eyes widened as he heard that Blaine and Sebastian had spent their honeymoon in Europe. It wasn’t a news to him, but thinking about being a month on the other side of the world seemed super impressive to him, “Wow, that’s so cool.” He commented, genuinely happy for the boys. Their honeymoon definitely sounded very blissful, he couldn’t help but wonder if his and Quinn would look the same. The conversation between him and Blaine got him thinking about it, even if he hadn’t really put much thought into the trip before, “Yeah, I mean, we have time, right? We’re young, and there’s so much ahead of us so we just wanna have fun and all that stuff.” Sam shrugged, him and Quinn were completely different couple than the boys, they were spontaneous sometimes of course, but they liked when things were very well planned too. Or maybe Quinn did, Sam just never protested.

“Oh yeah, we’ve talked about it, and I told her I fully support everything she does, we also talked about this whole...working a lot thing.” Sam confessed, he hadn’t really expected to mention that before he had come to the bar, but there they were, discussing his relationship, “I thought you were talking about Quinn’s boss. Cause he’s been really tough on her, and I really wanna tell him to loosen it up a bit, but I don’t wanna ruin it for her, it’s a great job.” Sam said with a small shrug, he wasn’t the biggest fan of the guy, Quinn’s boss usually kicked Sam out whenever the boy brought Quinn breakfast or wanted to take her out to lunch.

He was a little bit confused hearing Blaine’s laugh, but he hoped that the guy understood that Sam was just trying to be supportive there. The blonde nodded slowly as Blaine explained the situation, “Yeah, it’s like you’re kinda attached to this place, it’s understandable.” He mused, running his hand through his hair, glad that they were able to have a civil conversation after all of those years.

“Trust me if I can manage everything that I can with this little one, I am pretty sure the least the two of you could do is try,” she raised that point. Looking at it from her perspective there was nothing really stopping the two of them getting on as it was still beyond her why they couldn’t. Yet knowing that he was willing to try would be enough for Tina as she did not have the energy to argue with anyone. If everything could get on a lot more swiftly, than it would make her life a lot easier. “Thanks that is one of the best things I could have.” She paused a moment looking up at Sam,”Don’t’ you mean best friend?” Tina could not help but question wondering if the two of them stood where they did without the whole drama of her not being open about the pregnancy and the Santana thing she was trying to forget.

Some sense of relief came over her as he seemed to like being called Uncle Sam. Sam was a big brother after all, so she had complete in intrusting him to look after her Joey. “You always some up with the best nicknames SuperSam,” Tina bought up his old nickname smiling at the value of it. “Pretty sure when this little one starts talking, it would be nonstop and the two of you both having dude talks. He is going to have the best role models.” She could not be happier to have Sam around Joey considering Mike wanted him to be around Jesse and Sebastian and well, Tina needed to know that her son would not turn to the dark side anytime soon.

She only shook her head knowing exactly the kind of mad Quinn conveyed in times like that, “I will forever think that it is a guy thing. Hopefully Joseph will learn better some me.” A slight headache came with Tina thinking about how outnumbered she would be with the mess if Joey was as messy as Mike use to be but she was going to be a little picky at that. Once again looking down at Joey,”Guess I am gonna need to look at them again or maybe need to get my mom to send me some more just to be sure. Because I still don’t see it,” Holding Joey she looked up at Sam,”Of course it is okay,” she ushered him closer ready to pass her little boy to Sam.

[sammyinnewyork]

Sam smiled, having a child wasn’t the easiest thing, so he admired Tina for handling it all so well. They were all so young, and yet she was able to take the responsibility and she had been doing so well. He was really proud of her, as weird as it sounded. When Tina wanted to make sure if they were still best friends, he nodded, a small smile still on his face, “Of course. I know things have been kinda weird recently, but we’ve been through a lot together, and I don’t wanna miss seeing this guy grow up.” The blonde admitted, his smile turning into a grin, “Besides, someone needs to make sure Joey gets to watch proper dude-ish movies.” He knew Mike was the boy’s father, but Sam would be the good uncle, and uncle's deserved to spend some time with their nephews as well, right?

As Tina complimented his nicknames creativity, he felt a little bit proud. He knew she was being honest saying that, they had been friends for far too long, so he liked to think he could predict if she was lying or not, “Yeah, I’m gonna make up a cool one for him too. When he grows up a bit, of course so he can accept it, I guess.” He couldn’t promise he wouldn’t think of something earlier, but he decided not to mention that. It felt a bit weird to hear that she called him a role model, on the other hand, it made him want to do his best to make Tina proud. He would do his best to be a good guy, the one that would show Joey some good values.

“I don’t think so, it’s a dude thing.” Sam joked, quirking his eyebrow, although Tina had enough charisma to teach Joey some stuff, he was sure of that. Besides, he kinda liked teasing Tina, it was one of the perks of their friendship. His face expression changed when Tina passed him her son, he just looked down at the boy, and couldn’t stop staring at him. He’d seen babies before, and was allowed to hold them, but each time was different. It was different with his siblings before, and it was different now, “Wow, he’s really beautiful, you know?” He told Tina quietly, a small smile on his face.

“Yeah, we really are, I think having a month long honeymoon helped us though, it really helped to ease us into married life,” Blaine explained, a part of him still longing for that time in France all over again. “Have you two put anymore thought into your wedding?” It was only polite to ask after all, not that he thought they’d be that close to doing anything with the wedding yet, the last he’d heard Quinn had wanted to wait, and he thought that was perfectly acceptable. He just had an impatient fiance, that’s why they’d got married so quickly after getting engaged. “She should say something though, if you know, he’s getting on the creepy side,” Blaine shrugged, “Or maybe you should have a word?” That’s what had happened when Blaine had been dealing with some creeps at work, Sebastian had intervened and it had never happened again, but he wasn’t sure that was the same for Sam and Quinn, “Not recently, I think we’ve both just been busy with our own lives.”

He wiped the bar a little more so he actually looked like he was doing some work while he spoke to Sam in front of him, he got in enough trouble for getting distracted when Sebastian came to meet him at work, he didn’t want to be accused of the same thing with Sam. “I mean, yeah, sure, that’s like the big dream, and if it happens then great, but I’m not naive enough to think it’ll happen over night. Bas thinks that I should just quit working here and put all my focus into music, but this place as sentimental value for me, you know? It helped get me out some pretty tough times, it’d feel weird not working here after all that time.”

[sammyinnewyork]

“Month long? Wow, that sounds pretty awesome.” Sam said, a little bit jealous of the two boys. He wasn’t sure if their honeymoon would be that long, they hadn’t discussed it either so it was tough to say. Asked about his wedding, he rubbed his neck a little, knowing that him and Quinn hadn’t talked about it yet, “Not really.” Sam mused, he wasn’t as excited about their special day as his fiancee was, it was just one day, and he wanted to be with Quinn for the rest of his life, so even if she becomes his wife, he would love her as much as he did now, “I mean, we’ve kinda mentioned it a few times, I even suggested getting married in Tennessee, and Quinn agreed but nothing’s settled yet. We’re gonna work it out, I’m sure of it. When the time comes.”

As they kept on talking about Quinn’s boss, Sam frowned. He listened carefully to Blaine’s suggestions and as much as he wanted to do what the guy said, he didn’t want to interfere into Quinn’s job, and he didn’t want to cause any problems, he knew how much the job meant to her, “Yeah, I was thinking about that too. On the other hand...she has been really working hard there, doing her best to be amazing, and I don’t wanna ruin that for her, you know? It’s really tough...” He shrugged, still unsure what to do. He loved Quinn more than anything though so if she needed some time to sort her work stuff out, then he was willing to give it to her. He wouldn't just be mad because she was busy.

Sam nodded slowly, he understood Blaine’s point of view. Some places felt quite sentimental and the Living Room was a special place to him, so Sam could see why it was hard to quit working there. He had the same back then when he had been forced to give up his job at the Universe, “Yeah, well I understand how hard it can be.” Sam commented, “You can tell Sebastian that this place inspires you or something. You know, songwriting wise.” The blonde added, even if wasn’t sure if that’s what the bar meant to the other guy.

Let’s Talk About The Wedding || Fabrevans

[photographer-quinn]

Quinn didn’t like that she was away from the apartment as much as she was, and she could feel herself drifting apart from Sam a little, and she wanted to get the closeness back, and she figured that there would be no better way for her to do that than to come home and talk about the wedding. They were both excited for it, and while they didn’t know for definite when it was going to be, there was no harm in them looking at some ideas and coming up with some of the things that they liked.

Hearing what Sam said about dreaming, she dropped her eyes a little, and felt bad about the whole thing. It hadn’t been that long, had it? She knew she’d been up early for the last few days… or well, weeks. Sam might argue months, but she still saw him. Perhaps not as much as she used to, however. She offered him a small smile as he apologised, but she could understand why he would say such a thing.

“No I know we haven’t set a date or anything, but I thought it might be nice to go through and think of some ideas about things. That way, when we’ve set a date we would know the kind of things that we might want, and it would make the planning way easier.” She said with a smile – weddings were stressful, and she wanted to make hers as stress free as she possibly could. “I brought a load of magazines and I thought we could just look through them together?” She asked, leaning her head towards his a little. “I brought your favourite bagels too, to try and convince you that this is a good idea.”

[sammyinnewyork]

The idea of them talking about the wedding wasn’t exactly number one on Sam’s mind when he imagined Quinn having a free afternoon. He was still kind of getting used to being engaged, and always thought they would wait for quite a long time till they get married, there was no rush, after all. If Quinn was so adamant on discussing the subject he wouldn’t mind it though, maybe it would be a nice start to a cool afternoon. They hadn’t spent much time together recently so he would pretty much take any activities they could do together.

“Right.” Sam agreed with Quinn with a small nod of his head. He was still sort of sleepy, but figured out spending time with his fiancee was definitely a better idea than napping, “I’ve always wondered if people really use those…” The blonde pointed at bunch of the magazines Quinn had bought on her way to the apartment, kind of curious if they really had a useful content. Not that Sam knew much about the wedding planning, he wasn’t eager to find out either, he just wanted their wedding to work out well, just like they did as a couple. Simple as that.

“You’ve got me with the bagels.” Sam grinned, leaning forward for a second to grab his favourite one. Quinn probably wouldn’t mind him eating while they discuss their future wedding. He wrapped his arm around Quinn’s shoulders pulling her closer and leaning back on the couch, making sure they would make the most of their closeness, “So, what do we do now? I mean...what do you talk about while discussing wedding planning?”

A Little Fashion Advice || Kum

[definitelynotwalter-blog]

Kurt had never been the guy to put off shopping for too long. Online shopping had definitely made that easier, but every now and then he found himself himself in a shop, questioning what he was even doing there. This was one of those moments. Not that he hated it per se. It was just that shopping for shirts for work left very little chance for imagination. And let it just be that made the whole thing fun. So, could he really be blamed for looking more at the people around him than at the black dress shirts that he was actually looking for. 

Even though he knew he wouldn’t buy anything else than what he came for, he was still waiting for his loan to come through, he couldn’t help but look through some other racks. Quickly, not getting too attached to something. And it seemed like he wasn’t the only one. Kurt pulled his hand away just in time to avoid bumping into the hand of the blonde guy next to him. He looked up, giving an apologizing smile before looking back down, his eyes falling on the shirts he was already holding. He waited a moment, not really sure if he was supposed to give a stranger tips on the clothes they were buying. But if he couldn’t at least use the imagination in his head for himself, it had to go somewhere. “You should try to fit some a size smaller.” he said finally, looking up again with a soft smile. “They’ll still fit, but will make your shoulders come out better.”

[sammyinnewyork]

Okay, so this was definitely tougher than he thought it would be. All of those shirts looked practically the same to him, the colors were different, but that’s it. He sighed quietly, kind of regretting that Quinn didn’t go there with him. She usually picked all of his clothes and he just had to try and check if they looked okay on him which definitely took way less time than him going shopping on his own. You could think that girls needed a lot of time to figure out what to buy, and that’s what always happened when Sam watched Quinn choosing dresses for herself but when it was about him, it wasn’t that time consuming.

He was sort of lost in his own thoughts when he felt someone bumping into him. Sam just nodded as the guy smiled upon him, being in big shops definitely increased a chance of someone hitting you accidently so he didn’t mind. Hearing the guy’s words, he frowned a bit, he definitely had not expected the guy to talk to him, “Size smaller?” The blonde repeated, not exactly sure of that, “But that’s like...my usual size? I always choose this one cause yeah…” He rubbed the back of his neck a little, “It’s my size.” Okay, so he totally sucked at those things, and that conversation was just an evindence of that.

“I tend to stick with husband,” Blaine told him with a lopsided grin, in fact he hadn’t stopped calling Sebastian that since their wedding day, because every time he did it caused a slight shiver to run down his spine, almost as if he couldn’t believe that it was real. “I’m guessing Quinn hasn’t been around much recently then?” Blaine asked, he hadn’t really seen much of his friend recently, probably since his wedding, so he didn’t really know what she was up to, but he had a feeling that Sam would fill him in on things. “Oh yeah, I’m really proud of him, it’s just a big adjustment for the two of us, is all,” Blaine shrugged, because he never wanted anyone to think otherwise, he was and always would be Sebastian’s biggest fan, and that would never change.

“Oh yeah, it’s going well, or as well as it can do,” Blaine shrugged, things had been quiet since he’d come back from his honeymoon, but he was writing all the time, and he’d managed to book himself a couple of gigs, nothing too big, but it was something, it kept him performing at least. “I’m still trying to find myself after graduation and the wedding,” he explained, “It’s like, my sound has changed a little, so I’m trying to develop that while still working here, I’ve kind of got my own studio space at our new apartment now, so it’s nice to spread all of my junk out, instead of being crammed onto a table or something,” That was a definite perk of their new home, amongst others of course.

[sammyinnewyork]

Sam could see that Blaine was really happy so whoever said that relationship became dull after marriage, was probably wrong. The dude looked super happy, you could say that it was genuine which was really heartwarming, “That’s cool, man. I’m really happy for you two, you know? You look super happy and that’s awesome.” The blonde said honestly, with a small shrug of his shoulders. They had never really been close, but it was nice to see Blaine so happy and content with his life. Everyone wanted to get that moment at one point or another, “Yeah, she’s been super busy recently. The new boss is kinda…” Sam paused, trying to find suitable words to describe the man, “Kinda obsessed with her? He makes her work a lot because he thinks she is super talented. Which is true, obviously.” Sam tilted his head to the side, as much as he had to admit that, he missed spending more time with her, “Haven’t you guys talked recently?”

He nodded as Blaine spoke about the life after graduation, realizing that all of those decisions would come for him too. He was graduating next year, and that was terrifying, becoming the ‘real’ adult and all that stuff. Future was a scary place, especially when he wasn’t exactly settled on what he wanted to do, not anymore anyways, “Sounds cool, dude. Do you wanna try to record an album one day or something?” He asked curiously, he knew it wasn’t that easy to get a record deal, but he wondered if that had ever crossed Blaine’s mind.

Still My Best Friend || Samtina

[shytina-chang]

There was no hiding the smile on Tina’s face knowing that Sam was willing to do that for her and Joseph. Honestly that was one of the things that she had always wanted, her two favourite guys (not including her son) to finally get along being in the same room, as there was no reason for there to be this unruly tension between them as everything was now out on the table and there was no way they could top each other. Sam was her best friend and Mike was hers and it was about time that they could being in the same room. “Just the fact that you’re willing to even try is good enough with me,” Tina looked up at him, “Trust me I tell myself that every single day.”       

It meant quite a lot that Tina was calling Sam an respective uncle for Joey, considering everything that had happened Tina was willing to push past it and look onto the brighter side, as Sam was making an effort with it. “I think it had a nice ring to it,” she smiled at him, “Well you got a while to pick something for him to fully understand,” Tina looked down at Joey not wanting him to be growing up all the time soon.

“Yes as in the sense of being messy until someone else cleans up after you,” the memories coming back the amount of time she would clear up Mike’s place when they were living apart but now it was a constant mess as there was just no time to clean. She could not help but beam a little at the compliment Sam was giving her, feeling a soft blushing coming to her cheek, “Now that you mention it, he does look a little like me. I am sure I have the photos around her or something.” Tina looked at Sam, “Do you wanna hold him?”

[sammyinnewyork]

“Trying is not tough I guess.” Sam shrugged. Fighting was boring, not cool, and very childish. They were all adults so what was the point in constant tension and negativity? Sam didn’t want that but he figured out that it would take time until him and Mike could feel comfortable around each other, if that ever happens anyways. He didn’t mention that to Tina though, he didn’t want to stress her out, she had been through a lot recently, “Well, all I know is that I will always support you cause you’re awesome and you’re my friend.” He finished with a small nod, smiling towards Tina. He felt like this had to be mentioned.

Uncle Sam. Sounded good in his head, he realized that he was finally ready to become an uncle. He had siblings, sure, but this was big too because one of his friends was actually a mother right now, and Sam needed to make sure that he would do his best to make the little dude like him, “Yeah, well, I’m sure we’ll figure something out together. Like, dudes, you know?” He smiled brightly, the thought of spending some time with the baby was nice. He would be even willing to babysit whenever Tina needed him too, he was good at this after all.

“Quinn doesn’t really clean up after me.” Sam responded quickly, thinking to himself for a moment, “Okay, maybe sometimes, but usually she’s just mad at me or something. But like...not really mad, just kinda mad.” He started gesticulating awkwardly before realizing that he probably wasn’t making any sense. Instead, he just focused on Tina and Joseph, “Yeah, you should totally look at the photos again cause you guys look alike so much!” Sam stated a fact with a huge smile which faltered a little when Tina asked him if he wanted to hold the baby. He wanted to, of course, but he had doubts too. Would Mike be mad at him? “Yeah sure...If it’s okay…”

He arched an eyebrow when Sam answered him like that, because he didn’t seem very sure of himself, which confused Blaine really. Though, Sam had always seemed like that, and it confused Blaine to no end. Blaine knew what it was like to be uncertain about things, but Sam just seemed to constantly take it to a whole new level and he didn’t really understand that. He smiled though when Sam asked about his marriage, and while he knew he was probably only asking to be polite, Blaine didn’t care. “It’s great, I mean, Bas has been really busy adjusting to law school recently, so we don’t get to spend much time together, but I wouldn’t change being married for the world,” he was smiling brightly now, because there was nothing else quite like it, he felt like a completely different person, complete almost, and he knew that come from finding the man that made him whole.

“Well yeah, I mean if you want the best, then you’re going to have pay for it,” Blaine shrugged, wiping down the bar a little as he spoke, “Bas brought be some strings about a month ago, and they’re probably the best I’ve had in a long time.” he explained, and he knew that Sebastian didn’t care about the cost or anything like that, Sam however was probably different. “Well, there’s a music store a couple blocks from here, they usually have everything that you need, they really know their stuff as well, so anything you need, they’ll get it for you. I’ve been going there for years,”

Sam couldn’t help but smile a bit as he heard about Blaine’s life after marriage, it sounded really blissful, and certainly really cool so it was nice to know that the couple was happy. He hoped that his own marriage would be working out as good, he was marrying Quinn so he had obviously nothing to worry about, ,“Yeah, I know what it’s like when your other half or whatever you call them is very busy.” Sam mused, thinking about all the things Quinn had been doing recently. She hadn’t spent much time at home which made him sad, but he understood that sometimes stuff got complicated, “But I’m sure law school is great. Sebastian must be super smart, cause it’s law school, you need to be awesome to get there.” Sam pointed out with a small nod of his head, not that he had even questioned Sebastian’s intelligence.

Sam listened carefully to Blaine’s words, making sure that he was remembering everything the dude was talking about good strings. Sam was an experienced guitarist, but he was still learning stuff about the New York City, and right now he really needed to work out where he should buy good musical equipment, “Music store couple blocks from here. Got it. Thanks, man.” Sam smiled, making sure that he showed how grateful he was, “How is your music stuff?” He asked, figuring out that it would be polite to mention that now that they were talking about that.

Let’s Talk About The Wedding || Fabrevans

[photographer-quinn]

Quinn had been so busy recently, she felt like she had been absent from almost everything that had been going on around her recently. One of the things that she had felt especially bad about not spending as much time with Sam, especially because they hadn’t really spoken too much about their wedding since they had gotten engaged. She’d been side-tracked at work with the thoughts about the wedding, and she’d decided that she was finished for the day. Her boss was out for the afternoon, which meant that she wasn’t being ordered about all of the time, and so she felt that she deserved to have the afternoon to herself. She decided that she was going to stop by some stores on the way back to the apartment, and try to make it a nice afternoon for her and Sam.

She stopped by a magazine stand, and picked up as many of the different wedding magazines that she could find. She wanted to be able to take something back with her, so she stopped by the local bagel store and picked up his favourite bagels to take home. She hoped that he’d want to talk about the wedding as much as she did, and she couldn’t think of a nicer time.

Entering the apartment, Quinn looked for Sam. She could hear Freddie barking, as he always did when someone came through the front door, and followed the sound to find Sam. Seeing him napping, she leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to his cheek. “I brought food.” She started with, figuring that it was a good place to start. She nudged him a little, and sighed. I know I left early, but I brought bagels and some magazines… I thought we could talk about the wedding a little?” 

[sammyinnewyork]

There was nothing better than a good afternoon nap, Sam had been convinced about that for quite a long time. He still wasn’t sure if he was already dreaming or if Quinn had arrived, she hadn’t been much at home recently, and her boss was a jerk who liked to use her photography skills so Sam was pretty positive that he was dreaming. He was surprised when he really felt a kiss on his cheek, then a minute later, someone was nudging him so he just sighed quietly, before letting out a yawn and slowly opening his eyes.

He lifted himself up a bit to take a seat next to Quinn, rubbing his eyes, “Fred, is Quinn really here? You can bite me now because I don’t know if I’m dreaming or not.” Sam spoke quickly, his voice still sleepy. The dog kept looking at him though, tilting his head a bit as if it was very much confused, “Sorry.” Sam mumbled shuffling closer to Quinn, realizing that she was still there.

If she was there, then she had mentioned something about the wedding, something Sam and Quinn hadn’t really talked about so far, “Wedding?” He repeated, confused, unaware of the fact that she had been thinking about it, “I thought we wanted to wait...like, we haven’t set a date or anything…” He said, not that he minded talking about that, he just had no idea how to talk about the wedding since his only ideas were dressing up as Han Solo and Princess Leia which wasn’t really what they wanted, “How do you...talk about the weddings?” He asked Quinn, his eyes moving to the bagels Quinn had gotten for them, noticing that she had bought his favourites. He really was a lucky dude.

A Little Fashion Advice || Kum

So now that it was getting colder and colder in LA, Sam needed some cool summer clothes he could take with him. Buying new shirts or pants wasn’t exactly his thing, he usually did that with his fiancee, but she had been really busy recently so he needed to do this by himself. It wasn’t something that made him happy, but then again it wouldn’t be the first time he would go shopping so he could do this. Hopefully at the end of the day he would be holding bags with some awesome stuff that would make him look good during winter times.

When he got to the shopping centre, the first place he visited was a video games store, as much as he didn’t want to waste time, he had to check if there was something new there. Sam was a games geek, and that would probably never change. He made a mental note to finally save for some new games, but then again he had been jobless recently so he could forget about buying some new games, for at least a few months. Being in a clothes store wasn’t as fun though. Sam skimmed through a bunch of shirts, and grabbed a few to try them out, completely unaware of his choices. He really wasn’t good at that, on the other hand, there was nothing difficult in buying clothes, right?

Still My Best Friend || Samtina

[shytina-chang]

A lot had changed in the time that she and Sam last spoke, while he was talking more so it was sinking into her. Her and Mike has moved on with their lives quite swiftly though none of it was planned, it was something that they had to do especially with the baby. Everything had moved on quite quickly with quite a drastic change. “Honestly I hope so too,” she laughed a little still trying to understand why the boys never really got on but now they didn’t have only Tina to consider but little Joey also. “Trust me you are welcome here always and anytime. I’ll make sure you won’t argue because if you both get on with me, you can get on for me.”

The smile on his face was infectious because Sam was just someone who seemed to be a natural around children, one that Tina would most likely like her son to be around too. “Hey I now have this motherly instinct or something now,” Tina explained to Sam, “Well you are a big kid yourself- you know the fun sensible kind. Joey is going to need his uncle Sammy around, not to mention auntie Quinn.” She was inviting him back into not only her life but her families lives, Mike may not be the biggest fan of it but everything now was all about a compromise especially in moments such as this.

“Boys, you are all the same aren’t you,” she chuckled seeing another similarity between him and Mike. How they could not get on, she could only wonder. Looking up at Sam to see his smile only made her smile even more loving the look on people’s faces when they saw Joseph. The baby let at a little stern almost as if to respond to Sam, she rocked him a little in her arms. “You really think so? Cause when I look at him I pretty much see Mike, but he does have my nose.” Tina smile softly, “You know it is weird being a mother but a good kind. Like I can’t picture my life without him.”

[sammyinnewyork]

Sam analyzed in his head what Tina had just said, and he nodded. Yeah, him and Mike could definitely get along, especially when it was for Tina. Besides, they wouldn’t argue when the kid was around, both of them probably wanted to be good example so he had to admit that Tina was right, “Yeah, maybe one day we’ll be able to play with the little buddy together.” Sam wondered aloud, before adding, “That still sounds a bit surreal, but I hope so anyways.” He flashed Tina a genuine smile, being completely honest about it.

The blonde pouted for a little moment when Tina called him a big kid because he considered himself a man, like a real man, but then again, he knew that she meant no harm and it was actually a compliment, “Uncle Sammy.” He repeated after her, quite content with the title, “I like it. I may think of some way more badass names later.” He mumbled, him and Joey could totally think of some cool stuff to play with when the dude is older of course.

“All the same?” Sam asked, not really sure what she meant. As far as he knew, him and Mike looked totally different, and weren’t similar at all. They had different interests, so he quite couldn’t figure out what Tina had on her mind when she said that. He shrugged that off though, the most important person to focus on was now Joseph so Sam moved a bit closer, checking the little’s face out carefully, “Nah, he looks like his mom.” Sam stated, being perfectly sure about it, “He looks just like little you, I’m quite sure you’ve shown me the pictures of little you a while back. He’s definitely a copy of his mom.”

Blam || For Good Measure

[anderson-in-nyc]

Blaine leaned up against the bar as he waited for some sort of answer from Sam, who was sort of just standing there. Blaine thought it was very odd, usually if people didn’t want to talk then they’d order a drink then disappear to one of the tables in the bar, but Sam didn’t, which told Blaine that he was either very lost, or he didn’t quite know what he wanted yet. “Well, I mean, I am at work, so it’s not like I’ve got anywhere else to go,” Blaine shrugged, giving Sam a sort of half smile, his eyes immediately glancing up at the clock, wondering how long he had left, and how long he’d have to endure this. “So, what’s up?” Blaine pressed again, because it was really hard to have any sort of conversation when it was one sided like this. 

His eyebrows shot up in surprise when Sam blurted out what he wanted music advice, since it seemed a bit much, and completely out of his way, just for something like that. But, Blaine was paid to listen, not so much question, so he nodded and folded his arms across his chest. “Right, right, guitar strings,” he nodded quickly, “Well, I mean there are lots of places in the city that will sell what you’re looking for,” he shrugged, mostly because Blaine had probably visited the majority of them over the years, some he obviously favoured over others, but there was definitely something for everyone out there, “So uh, what sort of budget are we talking about?”

[sammyinnewyork]

Sam just nodded, his eyes flicking to the floor as Blaine spoke about being at work, he used to work in a bar as well, so he kinda knew how the whole thing looked like. He just hoped he wasn’t interrupting anything, but then again, the place wasn’t so crowded yet, “I’m cool, I guess.” Sam shrugged, thinking about his life. It wasn’t perfect, he wasn’t complaining though, “How about you? How’s married life treating you?” He asked, a small smile on his face. Some people said that relationships changed after marriage, and as much as he hoped it wasn’t true, he was yet to find out.

Okay, so it looked like Blaine was willing to help him with finding the best strings, Sam thought. He really needed those if he didn’t want to be bored to death alone at home, besides  he really wanted to write some new music, just for himself. Maybe he could play it to Quinn when she has some free time, “A budget?” Sam repeated the question, thinking to himself. He hadn’t really thought about that, even if money was definitely an issue there, “Like...a medium price I guess? I want some good ones, but not too expensive....Kind of like a two in one thing, you know?” Sam rambled on, not sure if Blaine understood what he meant, but fingers crossed that he did.
