Stardew Valley One Shots

Sam X DeadpanReader - Why Me? Why Love Me?

I was walking over to the woods. When I first got here, I hated everything about this valley. The quiet is nice, but the villagers are exactly the opposite. Which by the way, is annoying for me. They won't stop talking to me and will ask how my day is, which is nice every now and then, but can get really annoying after a while. If you didn't know yet, I like to be alone. I tell them to stop talking to me, and it works for a few days, but they immediently forget about it and continue to talk! I don't want to make friends. I'm even considering of moving back to Zuzu City. The woods is really the only place where no one is, so I can work in peace.

I was walking down the road to the woods. I usually like to take the long way around and sift through everyone's garbage while doing so. I mean, who doesn't? Normies I guess. ((No offense to all you normies out there. I'm one too))

I was digging through Jodi's garbage can. I usually find some pretty good stuff in there that she usually cooked for last night. One time, I found a Lucky Lunch in there! I got SO many ores that day. May as well try my luck again.

I was digging through the garbage, when out of no where, Sam comes out and sees me digging through the garbage. That's a really big uh-oh.

"Uhhh...(Y/N)? Why are you digging through my garbage?" He asked.

"Oh...I-I was just...Uhh..." I stuttered.

"(Y/N)? You do realize that's-" Sam said until I stopped him.

"I know what I'm doing. I'm going to keep doing it anyway though." I say.

"Wait what? Why?" Sam asked.

"Because I want too. That's why." I say in my most intimidating voice.

"U-Umm...S-sorry, (Y/N). You know, you kinda remind me of Sebastian." He says.

"Huh? How so?" I ask.

"Well. You kinda do what you want, when you want, and don't really care about what other people think." Sam explained.

"Heh. Yeah. That does sound like me." I reply.

"Yeah...well...How about we hang out sometime?" He asks.

"Wait what? Why?" I ask.

Sam then smiled.
"Because, If you're anything like Sebastian, he usually liked to hang out with me." He answered.

"Umm...I really don't ca-" Sam then stopped me there.

"Great! Meet me at the woods about 9:00! Don't be late!" Sam said. He then ran inside his house. I wonder what that was about? Probably Sam being Sam.

I eventually decided to go. I didn't really have much to do, and I was also trying to get some night-time fish for the community center. So, I could come about 8:30, fish for a little, and then see with utter disappointment that he didn't come.

I got there at 8:30 as expected. I then went over to that little pond area and started to fish. I got trash, trash, and even more trash. GREAT. So much for the night-time fish.

Before I even knew it, it was 9:00. I knew he wasn't gonna show up. Why would he anyway? I decided to leave while there was the littlest dignity in my body I had left. Which, by the way, wasn't a lot. Suddenly though, as I was walking to the path that led to my farm, Sam swooped around the corner.

"Hey (Y/N)! I thought I was picking you up at your house!" Sam said.

"You never even told me that you were picking me up..." I said angrily.

"Hehe! Yeah. Sorry!" Sam chuckled.

I crossed my arms like an angry mom seeing their child come home late.

"So, what do you want?" I ask.

"Huh? I thought we were hanging out!" Sam says.

Oh yeah. That.

"Oh...well...what do "we" do then?" I ask, still upset.

"Follow me!!!" Sam says.

He then leads me away to the woods. He takes me over to the secret woods, which is still fairly blocked off by the giant piece of wood.

"Sam...the secret woods is blocked off. Wait, how did yo-" He then cuts me off.

"Don't worry!!! Why don't we climb over instead?" He suggests.

"What? Why. This is stu-" He then cuts me off AGAIN. This is starting to get annoying.

"Because "we" want to get in! Unless, You're scaaaaared." He says.

"What! No!" I say.

"Haha!!! Scaredy cat, bok bok!!!" He mocks.

"That's a chicken..." I say raising my voice.

"Whatever! Come on!" He said as he was already half way up the log. I started climbing, trying to catch up to him. By the time I got to the top, he was already off and on the other side.

I then climbed down to join him.

"Heh! I guess you aren't a chicken after all!" He says.

"Yeah. What did you expect?" I ask.

"Not much. I always thought that you were just too cool to do that stuff!" He admits.

"Wait...You think I'm cool?" I ask.

"Well, yeah!" He says with the dorkiest smile ever.

I then felt something that I haven't felt in a long time. My cheeks turned red, and I felt...embarrassed? I haven't felt that in a while. I guess there was no reason. I had a very uneventful life.

"Psh, (Y/N)! Are you blushing?" Sam asked.

"Wh-What!?! No you baka!!!" I said being the tsundere I'm. ((Oof I had to))

Sam then sighed.

"Hey. Sorry I pushed you into going over the log. That wasn't really me. I just wanted to show you something really badly." He admits.

"Well, what is it? It also better be worth coming here." I said.

He then pulled me over to the little pond. A couple monsters popped out, but I slashed them with my Galaxy Sword that I spent weeks trying to get. Once we got there, he sat me down and reached into his backpack. He then pulled out a blanket and set it on top of me.

"There. Comfy?" He asked.

"Well...yeah. Thanks." I respond.

He then sat down next to me. We watched that tiny pond shimmer as the moon shined down upon it. It looked almost magical. I was so amazed that I didn't even see him look over at me.

"Sam...How did you find out about this?" I asked.

"I came here one time with Abigail. Sebastian was busy, so Abigail wanted me to come with her. It was quite amazing when we found this." He responded.

I went silent for a while. He showed me, but why?  Why show me? Of all the people that he could choose, why me?

He then put his head on my shoulder. I went still and tensed up.

"Y'know...I always kinda looked up to you when you first arrived. I think those feelings have evolved to something bigger though." He said.

I knew what he had meant. I knew it. I had so many questions. What did he see in me? A guitarist with Goku hair, falling for an uncaring, unresponsive girl. It didn't make any sense. Why me? Why love me?

I then decided to just roll with it, because I didn't want to care anymore.

The End!!!

((Oof srry for the pause. I had writer's block. Hope you like it...))
