hehehehe i love infecting people with the samisa virus. and i can always yap more

everyone in the house gets along really well, they’ve somehow managed to create a frat without it actually being a frat (most of them say this with glee, graf points this out with genuine distain). and it’s not that misa doesn’t fit in, it’s just that he’s quiet. he sticks to himself, especially in the beginning, and nothing really seems to break him out of his shell

so of course, sam takes it upon himself to fully integrate misa into the house. there are serious side effects to this like, everyone on campus, and off campus, thinking that they’re dating. it’s not that they’re attached at the hip like will and mack are, there’s some wiggle room there to call it just really good friends, but sam is very obviously attentive. at every party, he has an eye on what misa’s doing, what he’s drinking, if he’s talking to people or hiding in a corner, or if he’s gone back up to his room.

more often than not, sam just keeps misa right under his arm and when misa wants to dip, they dip together, which is so deeply un-sam like. he’s never been the type of guy to leave a party, or a hangout, or anything really, early. especially if it’s in his own house! and yet, sam is so locked in on misa that everything else matters a little less. it’s been months since misa moved in and sam is still using the excuse that the reason he spends so much time with him is bc he’s trying to figure him out. which is a blatant lie bc sam figured him out in the first two weeks, misa is weird and introverted, and painfully sincere. the thing sam hasn’t figured out is why the fuck he’s so interested

misa knows. sort of. sam is so nice to him, spends so much of his time fucking around with him, calls him cute nicknames, leans his body up against misa so often. and misa isn’t an idiot, he figures that they’re dating, or close to it. the problem here is that misa doesn’t really care to make any move, he likes anything that sam gives him and doesn’t feel the need to ask for anything more. if sam doesn’t want to kiss him, fine by misa, the idea hasn’t even come to his mind yet. actually that is giving me crazy ideas for another au, so more on that later.

and at the risk of falling into the and-so&so-is-the-bus-driving effect… really envisioning that toff and cat live down the street from the wannabe baby sharks frat house. even before misa moves in, sam is always the one they send to toff’s to tell him that they’re having some party and it’s going to be loud. so toff does NOT fuck with him, even tho cat is always saying that it’s nice they’re even warned. and misa always asks to pet stella when she’s on a walk so toff thinks he’s such a nice normal guy. he’s horrified to find out that one, misa is living in that house, and two, he’s “sort of” dating sam out of all of his roommates.

held gently

kissed tenderly

gazed at softly

fucked thoroughly

understood deeply

and reciprocate it

but not in like

a romantic way

but it’s also canon that he yearned for Mor as late as the solstice in FaS. And that when asked about her in the bonus chapter, he didn’t answer. It’s also canon that Feyre wanted to be tamlins mate, but ended up being Rhys’s. It’s canon that Lucien’s family killed the last person he loved, who he also believed might be his mate. It’s canon that he was wrong. It’s canon that larger forces than you or I or any of the book characters peered into the training ring to look at Gwyn cutting the ribbon and becoming the first reborn Valkyrie. It’s canon that azriel gave Elain truth teller. It’s also canon that she gave it back

Fabian grins brightly. “Secrets. I told you one of mine, you tell me one of yours.”

“Oh, uh, you know me. I’m an open book. No secrets here, not one.” Riz feels the heat of the liquor climb his throat. He itches at his collar. “Sorry to disappoint.”

“Oh, you’re not disappointing me,” Fabian says easily. “You’re just lying to me.”
