Sam and max stories

A Childhood memory

(art by me) 

It had been a long day of crime fighting, and Sam and Max both flopped down on the couch as soon as they got back in the office, Sam first and Max flopping directly onto his tummy. Sam laughs, petting his head. "What a day." Max said, nuzzling into his hand. "You said it, my feet are so hot they could be volcanoes..." Max looked excited. "Does that mean they'll explode?!" Sam laughed. "Sorry little buddy" max flops back down. "Aww..." They relaxed as the sun set outside the office, the warm golden rays shining through the dirty windows. Max shifted up so that he would be sitting on Sam's lap, hugging him. Sam smiled gently and wrapped his arms around max gently. "Even though I have a tendency to like violence, I really love our moments like this..." Max said, smiling. "Me too little buddy... It's a nice change of pace from our usual shenanigans. Max nodded. After a bit, Max tilted his head up to kiss Sam. Sam kissed back, still holding him gently by the waist. It lasted for a minute or two before Max pulled back, looking into his eyes. "Thanks..." Sam said. "That always feels nice." Max giggled. "Same to you." he put his head back on Sam's shoulder. "Say, do you remember the first time we kissed?" Sam nods. "Sure do.. What a day that was..."

~flashback~

It was sometime in the 80s. Sam had just turned 10 and the party had just ended. Everyone had gone home and Sam and Max had snuck out, planning to hang out by the tree they always played by. The two boys giggled and chased each other around the tree before getting tired, sitting down next to each other. "Haha, this was the best birthday ever!" Sam said. "Good! I'm sure your next one will be even better!" Max said, leaning on his shoulder. Sam smiled. They both watched as the sun set. "Hey Sammy?" Sam looked at him. "Yeah?" "I have one last present for you. Can you... close your eyes for a second?" Sam nods and does so. A few seconds later, he feels Max's fuzzy lips against his own, Max holding him by the shoulders. Sam flinches, his face heating up, but stays still. When Max pulls away, they open their eyes. "D-did you just.. Kiss me?" Sam says, putting a hand over his mouth. Max nods shyly. "Y-yeah... I-is that okay?" Sam nods, hugging him. "S-sure..." Max hugs back. "I love you Sammy..." Sam smiled. "I love you too Maxie..." Max buries his face in Sam's shoulder. "Will you be my boyfriend?" Sam nods. "Of course! Just as long as we don't tell our parents." Max laughs. "Obviously"

The two kiss again, softly as the sun continues to set.

~flash forward~

Sam smiled as he remembered. "That was so sweet..." Max giggled. "And just think, it was the start of all this-" he gestured all around him and Sam. "Just because I finally had the guts to just go for it." Sam kisses his head again. "You always do buddy..." he closed his eyes and pet him. "You always do."
