Five Nights

Chapter 3: feelings?

As soon as Sam got back to his apartment, he lay down to sleep and started to dream. In his dream, he was sitting in the park, on a bench. A feeling of love was in the air as the cherry blossom petals fell over him.

"Sam!"

Sam looked to his left, and there was max. But he wasn't a robot, he was just a regular lagomorph. He smiled. "Hi hun. I've been waiting for you!" Max hugs him. "Sorry I'm Late baby, I was getting you something." He hands Sam a small heart shaped lollipop. Sam smiled, kissing Max on the cheek. "Aww, you shouldn't have." max giggles and blushes. "I wanted to get you something that's just as sweet as you." Sam laughs. "Oh you." Max hops up and sits on his knees beside him. "I love you Sammy..." Sam leans in closer. "I love you too Maxie.." Max leans in too. They looked into each other's half lidded eyes, and their lips ever so lightly brushed together...

Sam woke up.

He was sweating. He sat up, putting a hand on his forehead. "What the hell was that all about...?" he shakes his head. "Probably just a one-off dream..." he gets up and gets dressed for his shift, and drives to work again.

Still, the dream never left his mind.

He parks and walks in again, going to his office to wait for max. He keeps thinking about the dream. Why had he been dreaming of max...? And why had they appeared to be... more than just friends..?

Max peeks his head in. "knock knock!" Sam was a bit startled, snapping out of it. "O-oh!!" hi max!" He looks at the clock. "You're here a little late. Max walks in and scratches his neck. "Yeah.. It took a little longer to distract them, they were more skeptical of me this time...''Sam nods. " I understand. Max walks to him. "I missed you though." he smiles. Sam smiles too. "Aw." he opens his arms and Max hugs him, wrapping his arms around Sam's neck. Sam strokes his back.

Max hums softly. "This is nice..." Sam nods. "Yeah... I can't imagine you get a lot of physical affection..'' Max nods. "Yeah... it's all just kids screaming everyday..." Sam cringes. "Eesh.. glad i took the night shift..." max nods. "Yeah, plus I get to hang out with you every night.'' Sam smiles. "Yeah..."

They continued to grow even closer throughout the night, as usual. Although this time Max was a bit more affectionate, sitting on Sam's lap, holding his hand, and leaning on his shoulder. It made Sam think about his dream even more, and his heart beat faster. Max takes notice of that. "Your chest is ticking really loud, are you alright?" Sam blushes and nods. "Of course! It's just..." he leans over and turns the fan on. "Warm in here." Max smiles. "Okay."

The hours pass as they continue to talk. When 5:58 rolled around, Max got off of him. "Well, see you tomorrow sam." Sam nods. "See you." Max starts to leave, but stops and turns around. "Wait Sam... before I go, there's something I have to tell you..." he walks closer. Sam looks at him. "Yeah?"

Max takes a breath. "Sam... I know we've only known each other for a little while but.." he blushed. "I... I think I have feelings for you..." he says, smiling softly. Sam blushes.

But before he can respond, 6 am hits and max goes still, leaving Sam in a blushy daze.
