“Did one of the guys put you up to this?” Crosby asks. He crosses his arms in front of him, allowing all the built up muscle there to bunch appealingly. It makes Sam’s brain stutter. “Because I can talk to them. Mack’s not a bad captain but he doesn’t know how to be stern with the veterans. Some of those guys don’t know when they’re crossing the line.”

i mean…yeah probably! in a roundabout sort of way the sid/sam fic already is hurt/comfort just very heavy on the comfort and humor

i think what i find so interesting about sam is he tries to come off as angst-free as possible. he’s super easygoing, true, but more than that he wants to be easygoing. he’s wants to be chill and have a good time, so he makes an effort to be those things. not saying he isn’t naturally that way, but there’s definitely an edge of “fake it ‘til you make it” there. which means that any hurt has to be sort of dragged out of him, or kept in the peripherals. more of the implication of the hurt than it really being in the forefront.

what does make him get a little hot under the collar is when he’s being his big guy self and it doesn’t matter because someone else (cough cough mack cough cough misa cough cough sid) is too skilled/talented for his size to be an advantage. so it’s look at how much bigger i am (size kink) -> look at how much it doesn’t matter because of how awesome this person is (competency kink). and yeah the feeling of being kind of below someone but still getting attention etc is also a part of it probably
