Sam x Arnold.

Arnold shifted awkwardly in his seat feeling a sudden wave of unease wash over him. He gently pulled the sleeves of his shirt down to hide the previous night's events. He knew it was gonna be hard and that they would react like that but he had to try but now he was doubting if it was even worth it if the one he loves doesn't love him back. He knew that he was stupid for thinking he had a chance but he could dream... right? The team were chilling in the warmth of the stations living area away from the cold autumn winds outside. It was times like these the team treasured as they all had a good time, except for one. He knew they were just playing but he couldn't help but feel uneasy. Arnold watched as his friends played fight, his stomach tying itself into tight knots. They weren't even together yet here he was freaking out over nothing. He wasn't even gay and even if he was he probably didn't even like someone as pathetic as him like that. But there were signs...weren't there? Ellie and Elvis laughed at their ginger and blond-headed friends as they tried their hardest to push each other off the small sofa, playfully tackling each other, unknown to them that their other friend was silently suffering. Sam and Penny laughed both too stubborn to give up the fight.

"You love birds are so cute together," a strange voice spoke from behind the team. The team all stopped what they were doing looking up to see Helen walk through the door. Arnold could feel his heartache at the harmless words the woman spoke. Quickly changing his gaze from the woman to his friends who were both a brighter shade of red than Jupiter. "You really are a cute couple or would make a cute couple," she continued walking over to the pair laughing at how embarrassed they were. The brown-headed man could feel his breath quickening, panic starting to stir within him. "Just ask her out already Sam I couldn't imagine anyone else as perfect and worthful for you than her. Don't you guys agree?" Helen questioned playing with the pair. But it wasn't a joke for Arnold. Sam and Penny both looked at each other embarrassed at what the woman had said. "I agree Helen just look at them," Ellie agreed looking at the pair making a kissy face. Elvis nodded his head in agreement laughing. He didn't want to hear anymore as his stomach started to churn but he stayed frozen. But it was what came next that really broke his heart. "Or are your gay for Elvis," Helen laughed at Sam. "haha I'd rather not be a poof like them, they're pathetic. after all, I am the hero next door so need someone as Perfect as me!" Sam joked doing a macho stance. Penny laughed at her friend's behaviour grabbing Sam putting him in a gentle headlock ruffling his messy fierier locks. Arnold could feel the tears sting his eyes, looking up at his friends who all seemed to agree with the 'hero'. "You're as gay as it gets Sam," Penny stated laughing. Sam went a dark shade of red elbowing the woman in the ribs signalling that now wasn't the time. Penny quickly gave the man an apologetic look the whole thing going unnoticed by the rest of the team and Helen.

He knew it was only a joke and he was only messing but after all the times he had heard that hurtful word he thought otherwise. He quickly looked back down at the ground fighting a losing battle with the warm tears that stung his eyes which didn't go unnoticed by a certain dark-headed woman. "You ok Arnold?" she questioned concerned at her friend's sudden strange behaviour. He could feel his whole body tense up as they all looked his way. Their gaze like lasers burning up his body. Arnold frantically nodded his head going a bright shade of red. "You sure, you've been quiet all day," Sam added looking at the scared boy in confusion. How he wanted to tell them everything there and then but he knew he couldn't. He struggled to swallow the lump that had risen in his throat, trying to find the right word to say. "yeah im fine, just need some fresh air," he replied back suspiciously quick, shooting up out of his seat as he dashed as quick as he could out the door. "Anyone know what that was about?" Sam asked still looking at the door Arnold had just run out of. "Beats me, I better go after him just to make sure he's ok," Ellie replied, raising of the large black leather sofa practically sprinting after her friend. She knew why Arnold had acted the way he did but she knew no matter how bad of state Arnold was in she couldn't let them know. She promptly left the room in a hurrying leaving a very confused Sam behind in the process. He looked at the door the pair had just run out of in confusion one more time before settling down on the sofa. He'd do his own investigation later when it was just the two of them. No point crowding the poor boy if he was upset and if it was anything severe he was sure Ellie would tell him.
