Sam & Max One Shots

Don't Forget Me

For Natalia419629

Max watched his partner as Sam just mumbled some words to himself. The poor guy. His age really got to him. Max acted like he didn't care that much, but man was he scared for his husband. He was scared that Sam was going to soon forget him, that Sam was going to forget everything. And then Sam will die and Max wouldn't know what to do with his life anymore. 

It really ate him up inside. But he pretended that he was fine. Like he always had. Just smiling and acting his usual self. Carefree and having an urge to cause some harm. But right now he just wanted to be with Sam. 

Max sat down on Sam's lap and laid his head down on Sam's shoulder. He held Sam's hand in his own as he listened to Sam's mutters and mumbles about some random topic. Max felt like crying. 

Everyday he felt like shit. Like crying as he snuggled into Sam's chest as the dog slept soundly. Scared that when he would wake up Sam would be gone or forget that he existed. He was scared of losing someone close to him. Sure, he had Sybil, Abe and Bosco and their daughter The Geek. But...it wouldn't feel the same. 

It wouldn't feel the same without Sam. 

The Geek also shared his fears. The Geek was afraid of losing Sam for good. He had already forgotten her. It broke The Geek's heart. It broke Max's heart too. 

"Did you say something, Max?" 

"No, Sam." 

"Okay." 

Max didn't realize that he was crying. That's why Sam broke the silence in their office filled with many old memories. Max didn't cry much, but damn he couldn't hold it in anymore. He couldn't keep in his tears anymore. Max continued to sob as he held onto Sam's jacket for dear life. 'It's not fair. It's not fucking fair. Why him? Why Sam? It's not...it's not fair!' Max continued to cry as Sam just silently sat in his chair. Continuing his strange mumbling. 

"It's not fair, Sam! I can't lose you! I can't have you forgetting me! I can't have you forgetting us!" Max said to his husband. Sam's gaze snapped to him. Max just continued, "I don't want you forgetting me! It sucks to think about that!" Max grabbed Sam's hand tightly, afraid to lose Sam at the moment. "I just...I love you, Sammy. I love you so much and I don't want you forgetting about how much I love you. We love you, Sam. Me, Sybil, The Geek, I don't know about Bosco and Abe...but we love you." 

"I don't...I don't want to lose you." 

Max looked Sam in the eyes. And he did something he hadn't done in a while. 

He kissed his beloved husband. 

"I love you, Sammy. Please don't forget me...but if you do...I will never forgive you!" Max said, trying to look tough and upset. But he actually meant that he would never forget him even if Sam stopped remembering him. He was just so bad at feelings. Sam smiled and hugged Max. Max started to sob again. 

"I love you, Dork. I love you so goddamn much." Max said. Sam just held onto him tightly. Max sniffled. "I love you too, Max." Sam said. Max's eyes widened. But the tears didn't stop. Max chuckled, "I know.." Max wiped some of his tears away from his fur but he knew it wasn't going to do much. 

Max spent the day in Sam's lap, listening to some of Sam's random rambles. Happily smiling as his tears dried. He held Sam's hand, never letting go. Reminding himself that Sam wouldn't leave him anytime soon. And right now, he should just enjoy his time with his husband. The guy he fell in love with all those years ago. The guy he promised himself to.

I actually had a tear fall down while writing. I was actually really depressed while writing. I should really stop writing angst if it's going to make me cry, lol. Gotta love suffering and causing your own pain.
