Hot Moose in Boots

Sam's POV

I wake up at 5:45. Gabe is still sleeping so I quietly get up out of bed. I go into the bathroom and get into the shower. The water trickles down my back. And the shower thoughts come flooding in.

Why does Gabe even like me?

I'm nothing special

He's amazing

Why would he find any interest in a nerd like me?

Ugh I hate myself

He's so perfect

Golden hair

Sparkling eyes

Amazeballs personality

Wait, amazeballs?

Whatever, it seemed fitting

After I wash up and rinse off, I turn off the shower and put a towel around my waist. Gabe might be up by now. I can have some fun now. I walk out of the bathroom and up to my closet.

"Hey Gabe, can you pass me those clothes folded right there?", I point at the stack of clothes. He wipes his eyes and sits up, "Uh yeah sure". He gets off the bed and grabs them. He walks towards me and looks up. His eyes go wide.

Gabe's POV

Sam's naked. I repeat, Sam. Is. Naked. With a towel of course but still. Jesus he's toned. A pretty hot nerd if you ask me! Am I drooling? Shit. I wipe my mouth and push the clothes against his chest. "Uh, here".

As he grabs the clothes and I move my hand away my fingers brush against his chest. OH MY GOD. Why does he have to be so muscular. I blush and rush into the bathroom. I lock the door and let out a huge breath. I slide down the wall onto the floor. Why do I always embarrass myself?

I hear him chuckling on the other side of the door. "You okay?", he calls out to me. I manage to spill out a few words, "Y-yeah I'm f-fine!". He chuckles again and walks away. Damn you Sam.

Sam's POV

I chuckle and walk to my bed. I'm done teasing. I get dressed and walk over to the bathroom door. He's still in there. I knock, "Gabe are you sure you're okay?". I hear him call out, "Yeah, just great!". His voice is shaky. "Are you sure? Let me in!", I say worried.

"N-no it's fine Sam, really", he says more clearly. "Well I need to get in there anyways. Y'know, dental hygiene", I chuckle. "Yeah, hold on", he calls out.

I put the towel back on my bed and when I turn around he's outside the bathroom door. I walk up and hug him, "Are you sure you're okay?". He smiles and hugs back, "Yeah I'm fine".

I walk into the bathroom and brush my teeth. When I come out, Gabriel is sitting on my bed. "Let's go to my dorm, I need clothes", he says, heading towards the door.

We get to his dorm and he walks over to a laundry basket. He pulls out tan pants, a black shirt, and a green apron. I sit on his bed as he starts undressing. He's standing in only his boxers. Jee wilikers he has a nice ass. He pulls on his pants and turns towards me. His abs, oh my Chuck!

I'm nearly drooling until he pulls his shirt over his head and slips on his socks and shoes. I snap out of my trance and look down at my phone. 6:15 am.

He has his apron in his arms and opens up the door. "Okay Samsquatch let's go", he says cheerfully.

Gabe's POV

Damnit Sam. I had a panic attack and made a fool of myself. I walk down the hall with Sam and out the doors. We are walking down the sidewalk when he speaks up.

"So what happened in the bathroom? Why'd you run in there?", he said with his brows furrowed. Damnit. "Oh, uh, that was nothing", I force a laugh. He stops walking and grabs my forearms. "Gabe, you know that you can tell me anything right?", he says, rubbing my forearm.

"Y-yeah I know", I stutter. He stays still and doesn't move, obviously waiting for an answer. "So....?", he finally says. I clear my throat. "Well.... um.... I h-have anxiety. And I was having a p-panic attack", I look at the ground.

He picks up my chin with his finger and presses our faces together softly. "You should have told me", he kisses me again. I pull away, "We should get going. I don't want to b-be late". He smiles and nudges my shoulder, "Loosen up".

We make our way to the coffee shop and through the doors where there's a line of customers. My co-worker, Benny, is at the register. "About time you came. Get over here and do your job", Benny half joked. Sam gets in line and I swoop behind the register and take orders.

Sam is finally up next. "Hmmm..... I'll have a medium carmel frappé with chocolate chips and a side of kisses", he grins. I blush and put in his order. "That'll be $3.15 and those plump lips of yours", I wink. He sits back down at the table and I take the order of a younger looking customer, maybe 15.

"Oh, I'll have a medium pumpkin spice latte. I'm not a generic white girl as you can see, they just taste good", she smiles. She had the emo cut with blonde hair with blue bangs. She had winged eye liner and a band t-shirt. (That's her in the picture) I ring up her coffee. "That'll be $3.50 miss", I smile.

"So is that guy your boyfriend?", she smirks. "Uh well, yeah", I hide a smile. "I ship it", she nods before walking towards Sam. Crap, what's she doing?

She is talking to Sam when I see her turn around a point to me, smiling. She giggles and turns away. Then, she sits with Sam and continues talking. As Sam's drink finishes, I write something new on his cup. "Hot moose in boots?", I call out, acting innocent.

He looks up with blush filled cheeks then walks over to the counter. "I'm assuming that's me", he grins shyly. "That it is", I hand him his drink. He starts to walk off. "You still want that side of kisses?", I smirk. "Hell yeah", he turns around and kisses me.

You can here the occasional awe's and giggles. The scene looking girl opens her eyes up wide and claps quickly with a big grin on her face. Sam winks and walks back to his table. The girl comes up to me and I hand her the coffee.

"Oh I never did catch your name", I say as she starts walking away. She turns around, "The names Ashley, Ash for short", she waves and walks out. I like that girl. I smile to myself.
