Colby's POV
Sam and I have been spending a lot of time together lately. Things are beginning to be like they were before. We're happy and both doing better. I wake up and smile down at Sam sleeping in my arms. He shifts in his sleep and turns to face me.
"Morning Colbs," he says, sleepily.
"Morning, Sammy," I say, chuckling.
"Hmm, how'd you sleep?" he asks.
"Good," I say.
He snuggles up to me and I chuckle. I've learned many things about Sam in these past few weeks. He's very cuddly in the morning and likes to stay cuddled in bed for a while before getting up.
"What's on your mind, Colbs?" he asks.
"You," I say.
He smiles and sits up. I sit up too and get out of bed to get ready. I feel Sam's hand grab my arm and turn me back to him.
"Sam, what are you-"
He cuts me off, pulling me towards him and kissing me. I stand there in shock. He pulls away quickly and says, "I'm sorry Colby..."
I start to say something, but he runs from the room. I hear him pacing in his room next door. I stand there in shock, unable to move.
"Colby?" someone asks.
I just stare blindly at the person, unable to speak. The person slightly shakes me and I'm able to focus on them.
"Colby, are you okay?" Elton asks.
"I-I think so," I answer.
"What happened?"
I shake my head and leave the room to talk to Sam. I knock on his door but he doesn't answer. Worried, I try to open the door. It's unlocked and I open the door.
"Sam? What's going on?"
"I'm sorry Colby, I shouldn't have done that..." he says, shaking.
I pull him into my arms, trying to calm him down.
"Colby-"
"Shh, we'll talk about it in a bit," I say.
He eventually calms down and sighs.
Sam's POV
"I'm sorry Colbs. My emotions got the better of me."
"Don't apologize Sammy. You have nothing to be sorry for," he says.
"But-"
He takes my hands in his and leans in. Our lips meet and I wrap my arms around him. I pull away shortly after.
"Sam?"
"I'm okay. I just want to make sure this is something you are ready for," I say.
"I'm ready Sammy. I promise you, I want this," he says.
"Okay then," I say, kissing him again.
He kisses me back and we fall on the bed. We spend the next few minutes kissing until someone knocks on the door. We break apart and I say, "Come in."
"Hey, everything okay?" Elton asks.
"Yeah, everything's fine," Colby says.
"Okay," he says, leaving the room and closing the door behind him.
I move to kiss him, but he stops me.
"We should talk about what we are," he says.
"Well, I want you to be my boyfriend," I say.
"Really?"
"Yes, what do you think?"
He's silent for a few minutes, clearly deep in thought. I wait, wanting to give him time to think.
"I love you, Sam," he says.
"I love you too. Is that a yes?"
He nods and I hug him. We kiss then head downstairs to get some food. We sit in the living room, watching tv while we eat. Colby gets up when we finish eating and heads to the kitchen to wash our dishes. I get bored watching tv so I follow him to the kitchen. His back is to me so I wrap my arms around his waist.
"What's up Sammy?"
"I got bored and I wanted to be close to you," I say.
"Aww," he says.
He leans against me as he finishes washing the dishes. Little did we know, Corey and Jake were standing in the doorway, watching us. Colby turns off the water and turns to me. I hold him tighter, but he looks over my head. I let him go and turn around to see Corey and Jake standing there, smirking.
"Hey guys," Colby says easily.
"Hey," they both say.
"What's going on with you two?" Jake asks.
"Umm..." I say, looking at Colby unsure. He nods and I look back at Corey and Jake. "I asked Colby to be my boyfriend," I say.
"Wait, seriously?"
"Is this a prank?"
They start to look around the kitchen for a camera. When they don't find one, they hug both of us.
"It's about time!" Corey yells.
His yell attracts the attention of Aaron and Elton who come downstairs.
"What's going on?" Aaron asks.
"Sam and I are together. For real this time," Colby says.
Elton looks at Corey and Jake and they are smiling, "it's not a prank?"
"No, we checked for a camera," Jake says.
Elton hugs both of us and Aaron just stands there in shock.
"Aaron, you okay?" Colby asks.
"Yeah-h, I just wasn't expecting that. I'm happy for you both though," he says.
"Thanks, man," I say.
We head up to Colby's room and our roommates left to go film a video. We didn't go because we wanted to spend time together. I eventually fall asleep, with Colby's arms around me. I wake up to an empty bed. I reach for my phone.
S: Colbs, where are you?
C: I'm planning something 😉
S: Oh?
C: you'll find out soon 😊
S: okay
C: get ready 😉 something nice 😊
S: okay :)
I finish getting ready just as Colby comes into my room. He takes my hand and pulls me downstairs.
