✸Time To Think✸《Sebastian x Sam》

《Sam's Pov》

It's late at night on a Friday - Seb, Abi, and I are currently at the Saloon like usual; Abi is just seated on the sofa in the corner, Seb is beating me at every game, and I... well, I just can't stop thinking about my friend. Seb and I have been close for a long time - as soon as I met this Valley, and recently, I've felt more serious about him - not just as close friends, but more so in a love-type way. I don't really understand what I am truly feeling, my head is convincing me it's just because we are close, but my heart says otherwise.

"Hey, Sam. You gonna take your shot or what?" Seb says, smirking, "Or have you admitted defeat?" I realize I haven't been paying attention and quickly stiffen up.

"Hell no, I'm winning this game!" I retort back.

After a few more hours at the Saloon, we decide to part ways and go home for the night. I leave Seb and Abi and start to slowly walk back to my house - still thinking about my friend.

"I'm so stupid."

《Sebastian's Pov》

As I left the Saloon, I walked up to my house and took a right which led me to the small pond beside my house - I take out a cigarette from its package and lit it up. As I'm smoking, I started thinking about Sam. He wasn't his usual self today - or really, this whole week.

I sigh.

Sam and I are meant to be hanging out tomorrow outside his house so maybe I could take that opportunity to ask him what's up.

《Sam's Pov》

I am currently with Seb outside my house. We are doing the usual - chatting, playing video games, yknow. I still wasn't feeling completely fine and got butterflies in my stomach every time he started speaking to me. It felt... wrong?

"So..." Seb spoke up, I slightly flinch as his tone was more serious, "What's been up with you?"

"What?" I question him, knowing what he was getting at.

"You know what I mean. You haven't been yourself, man." Seb sighs, turning to me.

My heart begins to race in my chest. I have two options here: 

1. I lie and say everything is fine (even though it's not), and he probably won't take that answer.

2. I tell him the truth which could leave me heartbroken, or worse - I'd lose my best friend. But maybe, I would be free from these feelings instead of hiding them away. And - who knows? Maybe he has the same feelings for me too.

After debating with the two options, weighing up the pros and cons, I decided to respond.

"Uh - well." I choke on my words, 'great start, Sam!' I mentally punch myself, "Seb, you know how we have been friends for a really long time?"

"Yeah, you're probably the only person I enjoy talking to - even if you are annoying at times. Scratch that, all the time." Seb replies.

"Well, lately I..." I tried gaining the confidence I recently had built up inside me, "Seb. I like you. More than... a friend."
