A/N: I had this saved on my Google Docs for a while, so I finally decided to share it with the world. Also, I miss Sami sooooooo. The quote comes from http://otp-imagines-cult.tumblr.com/post/140922926707/otp-quotes-challenge. (If you want to request a oneshot with one of the other quotes, go right on ahead, loves. ♥ )
"Staring at them isn't going to help you in the end." Kevin told Sami, who can't stop looking at you and the mystery man you're talking to. You've brushed off what Sami's doing since you're sure your mind is playing tricks on you.
Sami shook his head, and he looked at Kevin, "What does Y/N even see in him? She could do so much better." He said. For a long time, he's harbored feelings for Y/N, and he planned on making a move sooner or later. Emphasis on the later.
Kevin busted out laughing, "You really think that Y/N's boyfriend?" He asked, in between laughs.
"Obviously, that's her boyfriend. Why would she be so close to him? Laughing at all of his dumb jokes... There has to be a reason why she is so enthralled with that- that- I don't know how to finish it." Sami looked over at Kevin, confused about his laughter.
"If only you knew..."
"Knew what?"
"Oh, nothing..." Kevin chuckled here and there. Sami shrugged his shoulders, shaking his head.

Raw is in your hometown, and your cousin, Y/C/N came to the show. Once you were done wrestling, you (pulled some strings) got him backstage to hang out with you and your friends. While Y/C/N talked, your eye wondered to Sami. He's talking to Kevin, which is expected of him. (At least in your mind). I'm sitting in catering with Y/C/N, and we're sitting across the room from Sami and Kevin.
"You definitely got it bad for Sami, Y/N." Y/C/N said, and he nudged your elbow. He knows exactly how you feel about the Canadian. You met Sami back in NXT, and it didn't take a long time for the two of you to become close friends. However, you never thought you'd develop feelings for your good friend- It just happened... You don't have the guts to tell him how you feel. Especially since you're convinced he thinks of you as a little sister.
You rolled your eyes playfully, "He doesn't like me back."
Y/C/N shook his head, and he laughed a bit. "I don't know if you're seeing what I see, but he keeps on looking at you." You're in denial about Sami returning feelings for you. It's an impossible scenario in your mind since he doesn't give off any "vibes" that he likes you more than friends.
"That's just Sami being Sami." You instantly said, trying to shut your cousin down, immediately.
He scoffed, "I guess, but I don't see him staring at everyone else the way that he is staring at you."
"Let's just change the subject!" You said, you didn't want to debate with Y/C/N about it anymore. You know that he's going to respect that, hopefully.
Y/C/N changed the subject, and we continued talking for a few more minutes. "I better get ready to go, Y/N. You know I don't do well in traffic." Y/C/N said, laughing.
"Oh, how can I forget? You've nearly been in one hundred and fifty accidents. That was just we were in our teens." You exaggerated.
Playfully rolling his eyes, "Not true, and you know it." He stated as he pulled me into a hug.
"I know, I know." He kissed my forehead. "See you later, Y/N."
"Bye, Y/C/N." Before you could fully finish saying your goodbyes to your cousin, you heard an outburst from across the room.
"I told you, Kevin! I fucking told you." Your eyes instantly traveled to the area, and you saw a visibly angered, Sami. He was out of his seat, and he rushed out of catering. Kevin looked just as shocked as you were in this situation. It's a rarity to see the redhead this angry. When you felt a light push from your cousin, you looked back at him.
"Go, get him, girl." He winked at you, and you nodded your head. What are you supposed to do? You can try to calm down, but you might not be the person he needs. You dismissed those thoughts since what matters most is that you help him. Rushing out of catering, you catch him turning the corner. You ran up behind Sami, putting your hand on his shoulder.
"Kevin, I don't need-" He started, but when he turned around to see you, he stopped talking. Y/E/C showed genuine concerned for what's going on with him.
"Sami, are you okay? What is going on?"
"Shouldn't I be asking you all the questions, Y/N?!" He started to get defensive.
"Just tell me what's wrong, Sami. Starting an argument isn't going to help the situation." I tried to keep myself calm, but I could feel myself slowly starting to get pissed off.
"Who was that?" Disgust was evident in Sami's voice as he asked that question. "He cannot be your boyfriend, Y/N. You can do so much better than that renegade." Is Sami jealous? He's definitely jealous. The tone of his voice is a clear tone of jealousy. You can't believe he actually thinks your cousin is your boyfriend. You busted out laughing. The Canadian man looked confused, his green orbs were looking at you like you're from another planet. After a minute, you got yourself together.
"I can't believe you think Y/C/N is my boyfriend." You let out a small laugh, shaking your head. "He is my cousin." Sami's mouth dropped in shock. When it registered in his mind, he face-palmed himself.
"Oh... your cousin." Sami started, "I'm a dumbass." He chuckled softly and shook his own head. "I should have put two and two together."
Shrugging your shoulders, you giggled a bit. "It happens to the best of us."
"Since Y/C/N is your cousin, I take it that you're single.?" Sami asked, with hopeful, greenish-gold eyes.
"I'm single... Why you ask?" Of course, you're too oblivious to what's going on. Even though it's clear as day what is going on with Sami.
He looked down at you, "I ask because I realized it's time for me to make a move on what I want and who I want." He started, "Y/N, what I am trying to say is, I like you... A whole lot. I understand if you wouldn't want to give me a chance though. I mean, it is all of a sudden that I am saying all this consider we are friends-" You cut him off by kissing him on the lips. He froze for a second before he realizes what was going on, and he kissed you back.
After a moment, you pulled away from the kiss, "I like you too, if you didn't get the memo." You giggled and he chuckled softly.
"I do, I think I'd be stupid not to." Sami blushed, "Would you like to go out on a date with me?" He asked,
"Yes, a thousand times over!" You accepted.
"Great, how about tomorrow night?"
"Sounds like a plan!" You smiled. Sami smiled back before kissing you softly on the lips.
