#f2f: 002

Finn was used to being up early. Being a single parent of a child taught him to adapt his sleeping pattern to whatever was needed to tend to Liam. Thankfully, Liam’s sleeping pattern had become more steady now that he went to school, but his body was still suffering the side effects of being up at the strangest hours to check on his then-toddler. However, being ready to be out of the house by 5 AM was a tall order, even for him. And he could tell his son was not fond of being awoken at this early hour as well. 

“Come on, son. We’re taking the bus to the camping site today, remember? It’s gonna be the best weekend ever, promise,” he said as he gently shook the little kid, placing a kiss on his forehead before getting up to turn on the ceiling light. “Do you hear that? I think that’s Captain Crunch calling your name.” Once he finally got his son up and running and went through their morning routine together, he shot Mercedes a text while they were at the breakfast table. “We’re up. Just getting some quick breakfast in and we’re on the way,” the text read. 

For convenience, he asked his mother Carole to give them a ride to the meeting point, so that he wouldn’t have to deal with parking his car somewhere away from home for the weekend. “Thanks, mom. You’re the best. Say goodbye to your grandma, Liam.” He side-hugged his mom before stepping out of the car and towards the bus, seeing a few parents and a bunch of kids already. “Hey Mercy,” he shouted once he spotted his ex, now teacher of Liam’s. “You look a lot better than I do at 5 AM.”

Finn and Marley had agreed to run the scenes they had together, in the episode they had just done a table read for. There was definitely some tension between their characters, and he felt they captured it perfectly. Marley was an excellent actress and to Finn, it seemed like it just came naturally to her. He was sitting in his trailer waiting for Marley. They would eventually get to the scene where they were going to kiss and he was expecting maybe they would talk about it a little, he wanted Marley to be comfortable. He heard a knock on his trailer door and went to open up. It was Marley, of course, as beautiful as ever and he smiled at her. "Hey. You look good today, come on in." he said as he stepped aside so she could come inside.

Gatherings at Fabray residence where almost like a tradition since everyone had moved on to college. Every now and then when everyone came home to see their families, they would all congregate at the blonde woman’s childhood home for a night of catching up and a few drinks. It never failed Sam at just how flashy the place was, but he loved that he got to see everyone again. Of course, some never left Lima, himself being one of those few. But the ones that had generally put in the effort when they were home. It wasn’t often that people still kept in touch with their high school friends once moving on to college. Of course, not everyone made it every single year, but there was always effort put in. Usually people grew apart, had bigger and better things going on. Or so he had been told, so the fact that they kept their little self-made family together was amazing. 

This year they had decided on having a nice barbecue, and the young man was more than happy for the distraction. It had only been a few days since his little run in with Santana, and he hadn’t been able to relax since. His mind constantly wandered back to her, how she’d just left him in the lurch and now rolled back into town as if nothing had happened. Then he would think about how good she looked, how she seemed to be doing well and that time had definitely been kind to her. Then he would hate himself for even caring at all all. He didn’t care about her anymore, no. He couldn’t. He was done with all of that. 

By the looks of it, Sam was one of the last to show up, bowl of salad and a six pack in hand as he made his way casually around to the back of the large property, the young man comfortable and having been there enough to let himself in. Setting the drinks and bowl down on a nearby allocated table, he let his eyes flick across the large backyard, giving a nod to the boys as they greeted him and sent a friendly wave. His eyes continued to scan the area, most people were amidst a conversation or busy preparing food. His stomach sank though as he continued to scan the small crowd, eyes landing on a pair standing by the pool talking seemingly animatedly. Dark brown hair and toned skin catching his gaze easily. Shit. He hadn’t expected her to be here. There went the distraction. 

With his L.A. Dodgers cap on, Sam was really happy. He’d been accepted onto the baseball team as the starting pitcher; an incredibly competitive role that Sam hadn’t thought he had deserved, after only just trying out and being up against some guys that had been doing it for years. He was impressed with himself, but he couldn’t allow himself to get too cocky about it either. The position meant that he needed a great deal of practice, as much as possible, and he was going to take it seriously. The young man wasn’t going to deny that he was actually really happy when Lauren suggested hanging out on the field and practice. It’d be nice, not only to improve himself and his knowledge about softball, but also to get to know the girl. She was nice, as far as Sam could judge, and they had had some good conversations. He was impressed with her; she seemed to be incredibly talented in many different areas, and so Sam was really looking forward to this. 

With a flick of his wrist, the ball flew out of his hand again, probably for the 112th time, as he was warming up, but this time, it didn’t hit the glove, and instead, it fell to the ground. Making a small groaning sound, Sam leaned down to pick it up, so he could start again. But when he came back up, he saw the figure of who he could only think of belonging to Lauren. “Hey,” He said, a smile moving onto his lips. “I hope you didn’t just see that and decided to call this off,” Sam teased, the smile growing to a grin. @zizeschmizes

“Do you even know how you’re going to do this?” She asked, eyeing up the younger guy who was standing behind the counter. He wouldn’t be difficult to distract, but Quinn wasn’t sure how much time they’d need. “Because for all we know, Karofsky could be walking in here in five minutes to buy three of these.” 

She pretended to be interested in the drinks in front of her, opening the door to grab a bottle of water so she at least had a reason to be at the counter. It occurred to her that she could probably walk up there and just simply talk to him, but she wanted to make sure she covered Finn for as long as he needed necessary. 

“Just give me a few minutes to distract him.”

So, masturbating while thinking about Rachel isn’t necessarily a completely new thing for her. The first time it happened, they’d got mixed up in a game of truth or dare and when Rachel spun Santana things got heated pretty quickly and before she knew it, there was a lingering feeling in her lady loins that resembled a pretty familiar sensation. Somehow, she’d found a way to king of write it off as a control thing— because she was into the idea of tempting a straight girl over to the dark side and while she knew better now, it still had her hooked. 

It happened because there was nobody else left to think about, because at some point in every fantasy, she became the person on the outside looking in. Nothing hurt more than to watch Brittany touch someone else, and she really didn’t need to re-live that memory time and time again. And when she got to have that lovely first hand live experience of a half-naked Rachel Berry grinding against a metal pole, eventually Brittany just disappeared from her imagination all together. So that’s why she showed up again, a week later, because she can’t get her out of her head. But that doesn’t make it any easier to go inside for a repeat. 

WHO: Sam & Finn WHEN: February 13 WHERE: HudMel + Sam’s house

There were a lot of good things about being back in Lima, but one of Sam’s favorites was that he now shared a house with one of his best friends. Like it seemed all members of the New Directions, they’d had their moments of distrust. But at the end of it all, Sam knew Finn had his back. And now that they were housemates, he also knew he had a guaranteed gaming partner at almost any occasion. After getting home from practicing a duet with Quinn and knocking out most of his homework, he was ready to unwind. “Yo, dude!” he said, popping his head into Finn’s room. “My mom sent me a valentine’s card with a download of Resident Evil 2... wanna check it out with me?”

Sebastian had spent only a few minutes mourning that he hadn’t been able to get Hunter’s number at the party. Finding ways to entertain himself was a gift of his, so his weekend wasn’t exactly ruined by not being able to contact his classmate. Even without Carter around, Sebastian knew he’d have to be subtle and not so forward if he wanted another way to contact Hunter. Relationships were weird like that. He greeted Hunter with only a small nod and a friendly smile when he showed up to class, of course not getting there until after Hunter was already in his seat. Class seemed to drag by slower than usual, but as soon as they were dismissed, Sebastian was slipping his notebook into his bag and pushing it over his shoulder so he could make his way over to Hunter, not about to let him get away again. “Hey, Tiger,” he greeted with a wide grin, gently resting his hand on Hunter’s arm for a brief moment to get his attention. “How’d you enjoy the rest of that party?” he asked, if only for the sake of being polite because the last thing he wanted to hear was about how a gorgeous guy was stuck to his boyfriend’s hip for the entire night.
