Sam and max stories

All hallows nightmare

(art by me) 

It was late Halloween night, and Sam and max were asleep in bed after gorging themselves on the candy they'd collected from trick or treating and washing themselves off. Max was snuggled up next to Sam, probably dreaming of a nuclear war where he'd get radiation superpowers.

Sam meanwhile, was stuck in a bad dream.

When Sam woke up in his dream, there was nothing but black. A black void, and the soft sound of wind blowing. He looked around. "Max...?" When he spoke, the sound echoed off the endless abyss. He started to walk, calling for max every so often.

"Sam?"

Sam heard his voice behind him, turning around. And there was max. Sam smiled, walking towards him. "There you are! I was worried you-"

Suddenly, he heard something that sounded like a gunshot, and when he looked at max again... his chest was bleeding. Sam gasped in horror, his eyes going wide.

"N-no..."

Max covered his bullet wound with his chest, crying and looking up at sam. "S-sam.."
Sam ran over, kneeling down and taking Max into his arms softly. "M-max..." Max weakly reached up and cupped his face. "Sam... i-i love you..." Sam wept. "I... I love you too..." Max then went limp, his eyes closing. Sam felt cold down his spine. "No.... no...... please no..." he closed his eyes and wept.

"Sam, I'm over here!" Max's voice said. Sam opened his eyes. His arms were empty, the dead max appeared to have vanished. Sam looked towards the voice, and there was, another max? Sam immediately got up, going to him, cupping his face. "Max.."

But when he touched Max, he slowly started to melt into the ground. "S-sam... what's happening?!" Max cried. Sam gasped and teared up again. "I don't know!" he could do nothing but watch and hold Max's face as he slowly melted away from him, leaving Sam a crying mess on his knees. Sam hugged himself, weeping.

"Sam.. I don't feel good..'' Max's voice said again, Sam looking behind him. Yet another max was standing there, shivering. And again Sam got up and went to him, gently cupping his face.

But this time when he touched Max, he felt cold, smooth, like glass. "Sam... I feel so cold..." glass max said, gently taking hold of Sam's wrists. "M-max.. Please don't die again... I don't think I could handle losing you... not again...''Max cries glass tears. "I'm sorry Sam... I love you.." Sam gently put his nose to max's glass one. "I love you too..." and with that, glass max shattered in his hands, the pieces falling to the ground. Sam knelt and weep again. "Max..."

When he woke up, Sam sat up in a cold sweat, looking around and seeing Max sleeping right beside him. He immediately scooped Max up in his arms, cuddling him close. The sudden motion woke max up. "Sam?" Sam opened his eyes to find Max staring at him, safe and sound, and 100% intact. He held Max closely. "Oh max, you're alive..." max pet sams muzzle. "Of course I'm alive, dummy." Sam looks into his eyes. "I... I had a nightmare... that... you kept dying... over and over...'' Max smiles softly. "Awww, Sammy, it's okay..." Sam kept clinging to Max, and Max kept comforting him.

When Sam calmed down, he looked Max in the eye. "I'm okay Sam... I'm right here...''Sam nods. "I know..." Max leans up to kiss him softly. Sam holds him. Max gently pulls back. "Think you can go back to sleep?" Sam nods. "Yeah.." Max helps him lie back down. "Goodnight Sammy, I love you.." Max gives him a kiss on the cheek. Sam blushes. "Love you too max..."

They both fall back asleep, thankfully not having any more nightmares.
