(This a very spicy chapter for all the people who may feel uncomfortable reading it.)

"I thought this would be more romantic than nerdy," Devin admitted in a whisper, as they looked at the stars. A voiceover spoke about the cosmos, but Devin wasn't quite listening.

"It's still very beautiful," Sam whispered back, "And that's very romantic."

"I think I'd rather be doing something else," Devin said, placing a hand on Sam's thigh, "Something more beautiful than the stars."

"Are you objectifying me, sir?" Sam questioned playfully, then added, "That was very poetic. You should be an author or something."

"English is my favorite subject," Devin commented. Sam placed a hand on Devin's.

"Are you going to go to college?" Sam wondered. Devin shrugged his shoulders in response. He never really thought of himself as a college person- he didn't even know what job he would want to do. Devin figured he would always end up broke at eighteen, fresh out of the foster home, and fighting for himself to live. "Do you want to go to college?" Sam asked. 

"I don't know," Devin replied, "I've never really thought about it."

"You should think about it then," Sam said slyly, "Imagine if we lived in a dorm together."

"I would feel bad for our neighbors," Devin then paused, "Actually, no, I wouldn't. F**k them."

"F**k me," Sam sighed, then said, "God, I thought about it, and now I want it so bad. Please go to college with me?"

"Okay," Devin agreed mindlessly, also thinking about it, "But I think I should start about a year later. Just to get used to like, my kid, and stuff."

"Oh yeah," Sam nodded, "I forgot about that."

They both stared at each other for a little longer.

"Want to bust this popsicle stand and go home?" Sam said, biting his lip at the end. Devin understood what he was implying. 

"Hell. Yes," He agreed. Devin grabbed Sam's hand and tugged the boy up. They exited the planetarium, trying not to be too distracting to the other people, and Devin texted Nick to go ahead and pick them up. They wouldn't have to wait very long since Nick had gone to a coffee shop ten minutes away to get some hot tea while they were on their date.

Nick didn't take long.

"Done already?" Nick questioned.

"It was kind of boring," Devin admitted.

"But beautiful," Sam added.

Yes, Devin carried Sam all the way from the car to his bedroom. He didn't even stop to take his shoes off at the front door. He only took them off after he threw Sam onto the bed.

"Kiss me," Sam demanded, dragging Devin's head close to his as soon as Devin crawled over him. Their lips interlocked with such fondness, their heads twisting to get a better angle. 

"Sam," Devin said in between kisses.

"Yeah?" Sam gasped when Devin nibbled at his lip.

"Before we do anything," he continued, breaking the kiss to look in Sam's eyes, "I think I love you. More than anybody."

"I love you too," Sam smiled, then giggled and pulled Devin's head back down. Their lips met again. Devin kissed Sam for a little while longer, until he moved to Sam's neck- meanwhile, Sam tugged on his shirt. 

Devin quickly took it off. Sam looked appreciatively while running his hands down Devin's abdomen. "You're so hot," Sam said, voice barely above a whisper.
