secret? not so secret anymore || sam golbach
set in the trap house era, there’s no aaron or elton tho (sorry aaron never really did anything so i don’t feel for him 😪) instead jake and johnnie are taking their spots.
warnings: no use of y/n, reader is female, nicknames such as pea brain and squirt!!
you and sam woke up around 11 am, you forgetting that you even slept in sam’s room. “morning,” he whispered, kissing the back of your bare neck. “morning.” you replied. “i should probably head out, before anyone realizes.” you spoke. “yeah.. but five more minutes?” he asked, his nose touching the bare back of you. “five more minutes.”
five minutes passed, both of your breathing only heard in the room. your face twisted in the soft pillow underneath you, groaning you got up, moving sam as well. “no..,” he whined. “i gotta go,” you whisper as you grab a random hoodie and your pair of sweat pants on the floor. you put them on, running your hands through your hair. sam sat up behind you, wrapping his arms around your waist and putting his body weight on-top of your back. “let’s just stay like this forever,” he mumbled into your ear.
“sam as much as i would love too, the guys would get very confused.” you hummed. “let them know i don’t care anymore.” you raised your eyebrows, “didn’t we all declare no dating roommates though?” he groaned, flopping back down on his back while sighing heavily. “yeah… yeah we did. we did.” he mumbled. “alright. well, i’m going to my room. see you later,” you kiss his lips lovingly, then peaked out of his room slowly and made your way to your room. thankfully there was no one upstairs that looked to be awake.
you opened your door and walked in, shutting it behind you. you walk over to your vanity, seeing you looking like a huge mess. groaning, you walked back outside of your room and into the bathroom, doing your skincare for a good ten minutes and then walked back to your room feeling freshened up.
you sat at the vanity, preparing for your make up when devyn walks in. “i saw…” she giggled out. you stopped for a second, “saw what?” you asked, returning to your make up. “you walking out of sam’s room like you had just woken up.” she smiled.
“please don’t tell anyone.” you quickly replied. “i promise i won’t,” she zipped her lips, then quickly walked out of your room. you knew devyn. and you knew she would tell corey, which would try to keep it a secret but then he’d tell jake, and then jake would blab it on to the next person if he can’t hold it in long. but right at the moment, you could feel that she wouldn’t try to tell anyone just yet.
after getting ready and feeling like starting the day, you head down stairs to see colby, jake, and johnnie in the kitchen. “oh hey, good morning guys.” you smile. the two of them groaned out a response, colby being the only audible voice spoke. “good morning.” you hummed back, walking towards the fridge and grabbing some cold coffee in a can and opening up.
you did your coffee routine, not knowing that the three guys behind you looked at you all suspiciously. turning back around, you put your straw in your coffee and stirred the drink. “good morning guys,” footsteps could be heard from the stairs and you all turned to see sam walking up. he went straight to your side, too close that he noticed and backed up just a tad bit. the other three noticed though. “good morning samuel,” you spoke, an accent going through. “every single day you quote rowena from supernatural.” colby laughed. “i can’t help it, she’s iconic.” you shrug with a smile.
“so..” jake mumbled out. “so…” you repeated.., and then one by one starting with colby and ending with johnnie they all said ‘so…’ just how jake started. “hahaha, no but seriously. is that your hoodie sam?” jake asked out of the blue, pointing to the white hoodie with the heart on it. “i mean yeah, it’s our merch.” he shrugged, sipping o his red bull. “you know what he means,” johnnie dead panned.
sam looked over at you then at the hoodie on you. 𝓸𝓱, he thought. “that’s just another merch hoodie.” he shrugged once more. “dude—” colby started. “you know. when a guy gives a girl his hoodie. HIS hoodie. not our merch ones, no. even though that is our merch hoodie. but this merch hoodie in particular is YOUR own every other day hoodie you wear.” he explained.
“how can you even tell?” sam tilted his head. “we don’t have our own merch line here, and we don’t have extras of the same one..” colby replied. “so we KNOW for sure it’s your hoodie.” johnnie spoke. “and so what if it is? she got cold..” he gestured his hand to you. “yep.” you nodded. “hm…” jake hummed. the three of them let go, and you slowly backed away from the kitchen and up to your room.

you stayed in your room for a good hour alone, hoping the situation died down. a knock on your door was heard, and you got up from your bed to go open it. “hey, we were wondering if you wanted to come with us to the mall? us being the guys, and also tara.” devyn asked. you nodded, “sure. let me just put on clothes!” she smiled and walked out, and you went to your closet.
you decided on wearing some dark blue jeans with a tight blue tshirt. you usually decide to wear a leather jacket with it, but it’s L.A and it’s hot. for the jewelry you decide to put your own jewelry with sam’s necklace that he gave to you on your two month anniversary date. and with a touch, you finished it off by white new balances shoes. you looked at yourself one last time in your mirror, and headed out to the front where sam had texted you they were waiting.
you opened the front door and then closed it, walking towards the group that was leaning on colby’s red car. “who’s going with who?” corey spoke out. “i say the girls go together,” tara started. “and the guys go together.” devyn ended. “i like that idea,” you nod your head with them. behind the group of guys you see is sam, dressed similar in what you’re wearing.
“oh my gosh, you guys didn’t tell me you two were gonna match!” tara giggled out, pointing to you and sam. your eyes kinda widened but relaxed, just so you didn’t blow cover of anything.
“huh… we didn’t even try to match. i guess great minds look alike, isn’t that samuel?” you smirk. “i guess so.” he shrugged with a smile. then there was a slight pause where no one was talking, just zoning in on you two staring at each other with a look of love. “hem, okay. let’s get rolling!” colby brock the tension, his finger swirling like a tornado going up.
sam, colby, jake, johnnie, and corey all walked to jake’s car cause it was the biggest and it could fit all of them. while the three girls- you, tara, and devyn walked to devyn’s car and loaded up.

“ohhh i so knew before i even caught you!” devyn squealed, turning her car on and waiting slowly for the gate to open. “knew what? what? what’s going on, what did i miss? are we talking about our dear good friend here, who stared at sam for like eternity?” tara rambled out. “yes tara, indeed we are. i caught her in the act at around 10:40 in the morning walking out of sam’s room looking as if she slept the night in there.” devyn told her.
you in the back seat middle, gasped. “devyn i told you not to tell anyone!!” she sheepishly shrugged. “i’m sorry im sorry, i couldn’t hold it in. i didn’t tell corey though! and you know i tell everything to that man.” she pointed that, you shrugged with a sigh. “i guess since devyn saw me and has already told you tara, might as well tell you both.” you start. devyn turned down the music and both of them were on set onto hearing your business with sam.
“sam and i have started dating 8 months ago.” you confessed. the two girls gasped, and tara being the louder one, squealed. “oh you two are so cute together! perfect pair. honestly when i first met you guys, i thought you two had been a couple!” tara smiled. “8 MONTHS?” devyn sputtered out. “yeah… it’s been hard keeping it a secret from the guys since ‘no dating roommates’ even though you and corey are dating.., no offense.”
she nodded, “it’s okay. none taken. i think that rule is stupid anyways, not to assume but i’m pretty sure all of them are straight and i don’t think they’d date each other…. maybe sam and colby, but that’s different. moving on. like i was saying that rule is stupid, if they placed that rule knowing you and sam are close then… we need to have a talk with them.” devyn said with a stern face. “real.” you replied.
“anyways enough serious talk…, tonight the SUPER TROUPER, LIGHTS ARE GONNA FIND ME!” tara sang, and you and devyn both joined in with her.

“dude,” corey spoke. “dude.” sam responded. “dude.” colby spoke. “so like, what’s going on with you and squirt? you guys stared at each other for like a good solid minute.” johnnie asked. “it’s nothing it’s nothing…” sam replied.
“and the fact you guys matched too?” jake spoke out, looking at sam’s outfit. it was the same as yours, dark blue jeans, a nice blue shirt (but it wasn’t tight fitted) and black michael kor’s shoes on to match with a few silver jewelry on. “we had no intention on matching. we simply just style better than all of you guys,” sam smirked, knowing as soon as he said that most of them would start talking and change subjects. and it worked.
he sighed in relief, looking out the moving window and L.A’s busiest time of the day. “hey guys guess what,” jake laughed. “what?” johnnie asked. and nothing else happened- until all five smelt it. “DUDE!” colby gagged, “DUDE…” the four other guys were gagging, while jake was laughing his ass off hitting the steering wheel with his hands.
“no but on a real talk,” colby shushed them all. “do you have a thing for pea brain?” he asked his best friend, facing him since he was in the front with jake. sam sat behind jake, while johnnie sat next to him and corey sat behind colby. “and what if i do…?” sam whispered asked, “awe… brother has a crush!” corey laughed out, teasing him. “it’s okay if you do. we’re not controlling who you fall in love with, sam.” johnnie patted sam’s leg. “huh? didn’t you guys say no dating roommates?” sam asked them.
the four guys dead panned at sam. “we’re all guys. two of us is already taken, one is too shy to even come out of the house every now and then, and the other kind gets with a girl every so often and doesn’t end up with her.” jake spoke. “hey man..” colby placed his hand on his heart. “yeah. hey man…” johnnie copied.
“we were only joking with that rule. plus— i don’t think any of us have a thing for pea brain, she’s like a little sister to all of us. except for you of course…,, ooooo sam and pea. sitting in a tree- k-i-s-s—" colby sung out, sam shoved his best friend playfully.
he once again sighed in relief, “phew. we were trying to find our ways how to tell you guys that we’re together.” and then there goes sam, spilling the beans and not giving a crap anymore about what they think now that it’s okay to have the secret out. “wait what do you mean together?” jake asked.
“we’ve been together…” sam responded. “for HOW long?” colby questioned. “8 months….?” sam’s voice sheepishly got higher. “8 MONTHS?!”

the two cars parked together near the enter of pandora. the two groups getting out and walking side by side. “so guess what we learned,” jake started. “what?” devyn asked. “sam and…” he was about to say, but the two girls had already beat them to it. “THEYRE TOGEGHER. WE KNOW.” they yelled/squealed, jumping up and down.
“she told you guys?” colby laughed with a question. devyn nodded, “i caught her coming out of sam’s room this morning and brought it up in the car and she just blabbered it out so.. yeah. we know. i was the first one to know in the whole group though.” devyn smiled.
the whole group was talking about the situation, not knowing the ‘new’ couple in their eyes were a few feet behind them, holding hands out in public while watching their friends talk about it all. “i’m so glad that was meant to be a joke..” sam chuckled nervously.
“yeah. i’m pretty sure i knew it was a joke, but you said it wasn’t and so obviously i followed your lead even though only two girls live in the mansion and one was already taken before moving in.. which was why devyn always found that rule weird.” you giggle. “huh. i never knew it was a joke. they had kind of a serious tone with how they say things sometimes.”
you hum, “well now i can do this.” you stop walking, your head facing sam’s and your hand cupping his cheek and pulling him closer. you feel sam’s lips on yours, and you close your eyes with a smile on your face.
“AWWEEEH,” you hear colby in the back ground. cute noises being heard from your friend group. “not so secret anymore, are we?” you whisper. “nope. and i wouldn’t have it any other way.” he murmurs.
