chapter 9 - hug

[your POV]
i sigh placidly. i take a glare at sam, a mincing smile being sculpted on my lips. when i've just heard colby's idea, i feel tingling in my stomach, causing for my smile to splay for a little. a rustle of the wind blows into the window, the air being cooler in the house. i sit and consider colby's request, about me and sam going on a date at some point when we're comfortable and ready. "yeah.. that'd be nice." a chuckle casts away through my lips, the smile on my face never leaving. i shift over to take another glance at sam, his face fully red on show.

"you know, you don't have to if you don't want to man.." sam adds, his soft voice ringing into my ears like music bursting through them. i almost space out into the nothingness of the room. "yo y/n, you just spaced out again.." sam speaks again, waving his hand slowly to get me out of my spacing out mood. "what? oh yeah, sorry." i shake my head out of my own thoughts, my hand sliding through my hair scrubbing it harshly. "don't apologize." sam's voice drives me away. i turn to look at him once again, noticing his smile playing on his lips. although, i try my best struggling the stimulus to not take eye of his lips. yet, my gaze displaces to the ground, staring with solitary.

"y/n.. can i do something real quick?" sam interrogates, sensing the devout tension amid us, the slight hint of warmth and affection in his tone. "sure dude." i utter back, allowing his request overbrim. a havoc of mixed emotions well up inside me, wondering where this action takes place in. he stands up on his feet from the couch, strolling slowly over to me, and pull me into a big, warm hug. he enfolds his arms around my back, his face almost digging into my shoulder. his chin is right above my shoulder, feeling many medley emotions progress throughout my whole body. my eyes extend out for a split moment, accepting the hug. i wrap my arms around his torso, which is pretty unusual for me, since i've always enveloped my arms around people's back. this is something.. new.

i guess my trust for him has increased, that causing me to furl my arms around a lower part of his body. the hug makes me feel.. safe. i feel like i'm at peace. peace that will never go away this easily. he continues to hold me, squeezing me tightly in the embrace, not letting go of it. i become enthralled by this action, seemingly to be distracted by anything and anyone else, just wanting to hold sam forever. i close my eyes out of pure enjoyment, pulling him closer to me, and squeezing him back just as tightly, feeling my breath under his. our bodies are now compressed to each other, nosing his fine fragrance building up close to me.

he then delves his head dug into my shoulder, still holding me and wanting to pull back from the hug yet. not even in another minute. i then start sliding my hand all the way to his back, oscillating it gently. i hear a small puff whizzing out of him, a light hum escape out of him. i then decide burrowing my head deep into his neck, nuzzling against him. i continuously embrocate his back, to soothe him as much as i can, making sure he feels comfortable and secure in the hug.

"i'm glad i have you in my life, y/n." sam's voice becomes muffled since his head is excavated into my shoulder, his arms now wrapped around my torso. "i'm glad i have you too man." mine is buried muffled from his neck, but i reckon he can make out words from my phrase. sam finally pulls away from the hug after s few minutes of being held close to each other, the most beautiful smile garnished on his lips. i grin back, reverencing his beaming smile. "you're the best guy friend i ever have, not just colby." sam speaks, seeming that he finally stands out from the battlefield from his mind that he's trying to combat. which he eventually has done.

"and so are you." my grin widens against my mouth, giving him an easy pat on the back. i've never felt happier with other friends, but with them. they both make me feel so much better than my other socially isolated and distant friends. "you guys are so cute." colby's grin stretches out on his lips, exclaiming his statement of how cute we are. sam's face reddens slightly as he hears that, his face going into a full on tomato shade of red that's extending on his cheeks. he laughs a little, sullenly to himself. my smile doesn't leave my face just yet, also blushing pinkly for a minute.

now being dark outside, we all decide going into our bedrooms, and i get to share a bed with sam. i become a little comfortable on his bed lying down on it, before entering a good, deep slumber. and so does he. i start breathing subtly, snoring a little loud dreamily.
