It's Always Sunny Somewhere

Chapter IV: A New Hobby

Samual set an alarm as it woke him up, he wanted to spend his day at his uncle's gym to blow off steam and maybe learn how to fight. He got on some lighter cloths and headed to the gym. When he got inside he looked around. "Damn..." he was impressed by the size and style the place offered as he saw a punching bag. He sat his stuff down next to it and got on some of the boxing gloves Charlie got him. He took punches at the bag, making himself feel better as he let out his frustrations. Charlie soon came out of his office and noticed Samual using the punching bag and smiled. He watched him and saw the clear inexperience in his punches. "Look who decided to show up." He said as Samual jumped a little and turned to see his uncle. "Hey uncle Charlie..." "Sorry champ didn't mean to scare ya. I couldn't help but notice a few problems in your punches... if you don't mind me teaching." "Not at all..." Samual replied. They spent the next few hours going over basics and combos and by the end of it Samual was dripping with sweat. "You're a quick learner champ. Good work today." "Thanks..." Samual took a big drink of his water as he sat on a bench. "So what made you want to stop by?" Charlie asked "You lose a fight or something?" He chuckled but his smile faded when Samual looked embarrassed. "I see... Hmm... Hey Natia!" He called out for her as Samual looked to see Abby's friend. "Oh hey Sammy it's good to see you." "Y'all know each other?" Charlie asked. "She goes to my school..." said Samual. "Well then, I've got an idea, Natia here is very skilled in sparing and how to take down an enemy, tomorrow I want you to come back and have a session with her." Charlie's proposal made Samual interested as Natia happily agreed to help. "I'll do it..." Samual replied. "That's what I like to here." Said Charlie. "See you tomorrow Sammy." Maria returned to what she was doing as Samual packed up for the day. On his way home he felt his phone buzz as he got a text from Abby.

"Hey Sammy you free this weekend?"
"Sorry, I've got stuff to do."
"It's ok, maybe next time :)"

Samual knew he'd have time to hang out with Abby but Tyler's threat looked over him as he returned home.

The next day at the gym Natia worked him until he could barely stand, teaching him takedown moves and even live sparing, his fear of getting hit started to relax a bit the more shots he took with the headgear on. As he packed up his things Natia came over to him. "I know what Tyler did to you... they were laughing about it outside their dorm this morning..." Samual felt a little embarrassed. "Did you tell Abby?..." "About that..." He heard the gym door fly open as Abby came inside and saw him. "Oh Sammy..." She rushed over and hugged him. "I'm fine Abby it's ok..." "That stupid asshole... I should of warned you about him." Abby replied. When she let go of him Samual saw his sweat left marks on her cloths as he couldn't help but chuckle. "What?" She asked before seeing herself and laughing as well. "Didn't think that one through did I?" They laughed it off before she walked him home, when they got there they stopped out front. "Sammy?..." "Yeah?..." Samual replied. "I don't like inviting myself into things but... I kinda just want to be with you right now if that's ok..." Samual's heart started racing again as he nervously replied. "S-sure... I don't mind..." She smiled as he let her in. He got a quick shower before heading to his room where she laid on his bed, finding a movie to watch. He awkwardly sat next to her as she noticed and just smiled. His heart was still pounding as she picked out a movie and sat his remote on the side table. After a little she looked over at him and giggled. "You can come cuddle if you want... you don't need to be shy around me..." He felt like his heart was gonna burst out of his chest as he gently cuddled up to her. She wrapped her arms around him and held him close. She felt his heart beating out of his chest and brushed his hair gently. "Relax silly... I want you to rest, you've had a busy day." He took a deep breath and tried to relax, Abby's voice was soothing and soft which helped even more as she brushed his hair. "Your hair is so soft and floofy." She giggled. "T-thanks..." He could feel himself start to doze off, not feeling this relax in ages. He soon falls asleep and Abby smiles. "So cute..." She continued to brush his hair and watch the movie as he napped...

When Samual woke up he blushed as he was still in her arms. "Wakey wakey sleepy head..." She smiled. They soon got up and hugged before Abby headed out to go back to her dorm. "I'll see you at school tomorrow." She smiled and headed out the door as Samual gently closed it behind her. Charlie watched all of this and smirked. "Did you guys bang while I was gone?" "Shut up Charlie." Samual replied embarrassed as he headed back to his room, Charlie chuckling to himself...
