Sam's parents went out and Paige, being nineteen (just over one year older than Sam and Liam) ran to the off license to grab some more drinks and mixers. So when nervous Liam arrived at Sam's house, they were left alone together.

"Soooo.... you go to many of these?" Liam broke the ice smiling.

"Very cheesy Liam...Not really but we go to enough and they get pretty crazy ha ha" Sam couldn't look at Liam for fear of making eye contact- he couldn't seem to stop staring when their eyes met.

After waiting for what felt like years for the perfect moment, Liam tried to get the words out that he needed to say. "Look.... Sam" Liam started taking a stop forwards. He twisted his hands in anticipation hoping that even if Sam would still be friends after this. Sam unconsciously took a step forwards as well, wanting to grab the other boys' hand to comfort him "about my last school..."

"SAM" Holly's cries could be heard from four streets away.

Both boys jumped, not realising how close they had been standing, Liam moving his hands behind his back to hide that they were shaking.

"umm Holly are you ok?" Sam opened the door and looked at the girl carrying a heavy bag up the steps to his house.

She glared at him "COULD YOU HELP ME GOD WHERE HAS CHIVALRY GONE" Liam ran to help her and Sam had to look away when he saw their hands touch when transferring the bag between Holly and Liam. What was happening to him? Why did he care? It's not like he liked Liam or Holly? Holly was his best mate and Liam... well Sam was sure he wasn't gay for Liam.

"Ok so I got my change of clothes, some snacks, mixers and Sam I've got your shirt from when you stayed over last time" Holly crossed over to the kitchen where she started grabbing glasses.

"Shit I forgot thanks Hols! I'm going to change. You girls can use the downstairs toilet to change and the boys can use upstairs" Sam yelled as Chris and Emily entered through the front door trailing after Holly.

Liam and Chris followed Sam upstairs "I call dibs!" Yelled Chris as he ran into the bathroom shoving Sam against the wall.

"Dick!" Sam yelled after him and then turned to see Liam watching him "ah yes well you can use my room and we can take turns" Sam muttered

Liam laughed good naturedly "Sam... it's ok like we can just change together. It's not we don't do it at school"

Sam wheezed "yeah ok come on then" motioning to the door to his room and shuffled in.

Hearing Liam laughing again Sam glared at him "WHAT!"

Liam looked around at the messy room with posters of Megan Fox "you're such a boy"

"Yeah whatever get dressed you look like shit" Sam lied.

The two turned around, Sam blushing and hoping Liam wouldn't see anything he shouldn't. He quickly got changed, shoving a navy T-shirt on and some black jeans before asking if Liam was done.

"Yeah" was the soft reply from the other boy

"You ok Liam?" Sam looked over at the other boy wearing a black T-shirt and dark jeans. Liam was standing by Sam's bookshelf, tracing the spines of the books.

Sam touched Liam's shoulder to get his attention "wanna go back to the others?"

Liam shook himself out of his focus on the books to follow Sam down stairs. Thinking about how many books Sam had, Liam questioned why Sam tried to hide his true passion amongst the classic boy bedroom. Liam smiled because he felt he was starting to get to know a little bit more about the mysterious blonde boy.

.............................................................................

Returning downstairs the boys saw Chris in the kitchen with Holly making drinks and eating the snacks they had put into bowls.

"Finally! You two! Get in here and try this" Chris beckoned them into the kitchen where he shoved a glass into each of their hands. "Paige got back a couple of minutes ago to drop off the drinks but left again to go to some friends house"

Sam, an old hand in the horrific concoctions of Chris, waited until Liam had tried it first watching the other boys reaction. He quickly put the drink down after watching Liam start choking.

"Umm C-Chris what in all hell did you put into this drink?" Liam spluttered

"Well I wanted to make the vodka and gin taste better so I added curry power... I thought it would make it into a spicy drink" Chris grinned.

Sam, Holly and Emily (who was in the front room) roared with laughter as Liam paled.

"I should have warned you... but then again someone had to try it first" Sam teased.

The four made a couple of drinks and after Sam finished his second, he was starting to forget the thing he was thinking about.. Wait what was he thinking about? The important thing? Whatever... he would remember later

"Sam get over here! You know you're my favourite when tipsy" Emily grabbed hold of Sam's arm, dragging him into the front room.

"What are they doing?" Liam asked Holly

Holly had a knowing smile "well Sam is... well, Sam, when sober. So when he gets a bit tipsy, Emily likes to take the opportunity to use his loose tongue to get information out of him.... oh and while you're here, I'll get some information out of you. Doesn't your sister kinda have a crush on him? The blind idiot" Holly mused.

"Yeah well my sister has a new crush every week so we will see how long that will last" Liam secretly hoped he was right "Has he dated before?" Liam took this opportunity to get some information out of the two

"Not that I've ever know" Chris laughed " he has had plenty of girls try to date him. He has the whole mysterious writer boy thing going on which girls really go for. Shame the poor guy doesn't have two brain cells to notice. Even Emily crushed on him... though I'm not sure if that's still going on..."

Holly glanced over "Yeah well he wouldn't notice if it hit him in the face... you have to be a bit obvious with that one. I mean look at him! Emily is rubbing herself on him and he has completely zoned out."

Holly wasn't wrong. Emily, having started drinking a lot earlier than the rest of them, had started dancing with Sam whose eyes had glazed over. Holly ran to save him and switched places, dancing with Emily.

Liam chuckled and strolled over to the tipsy boy who was now standing to the side watching the two girls fondly "Sam we need to talk about the issue with my sister... as a big brother I need to know your intentions" Liam joked.

Sam pondered for a bit and then he let slip "you don't have to worry Liam I don't like her... at all... like really at all" Sam didn't know why he was being so firm.

Liam hummed "yeah maybe tell her soon ish" he was secretly pleased.

Sam, attempting to get rid of his annoying thoughts about Liam's question, dragged Liam off to the kitchen where he made him do another couple of shots.

Chris shepherded everyone out of the door and the drunken group made their way to Amber's house, a couple of streets away.
