"With great power, comes great responsibility."

Rachel’s eyes widened when Sam confessed he had no interest in the miniature diva. A loud cackle came right after his confession. All this time he thought she was talking about herself, trying to make a move, and it couldn’t be more far from reality. Of course Sam was a handsome young man with a six-pack but he wasn’t her type at all. “Oh no. I beg you pardon for giving you the wrong impression. You see, I tend to be very curious upon meeting new friends but it doesn’t mean I want some kind of romantic connection with them. Just ask Kurt. You’re so not my type.” The brunette couldn’t stop giggling but at the same time she wondered if she should’ve played it out but it was already too late. “I’m not into you either, so that makes two of us.”

Sam raised a brow as Rachel rambled on and on and even went onto tell him exactly what her type was. He of course knew Hugh Jackman since he was part of the X-Men series and was Wolverine. However, he did not know who John Hamm was. He kind of couldn’t help to smirk at the name. It sounded like a name you would give to a character who was a pig just to be ironic. It seemed as if the brunette couldn’t seem to stop herself for a moment, but eventually she asked what his type was personally.

Rachel Berry was not the type who would stalk. That was totally not her style. She made “research” as she liked to call it. Ever since she was a little girl, she made a pledge to get all the knowledge possible about her passions. By the time she was 6 years old, she knew all of Barbra Streisand’s accomplishments by heart. She learned the entire script to many of her movies letter by letter. The newest target of her mission, which was to find his best friend the perfect suitor, was obviously their handsome new roommate, Sam Evans.

It’s alright.  I’m just happy I hadn’t made you completely freaked out. [He said honestly before looking at Sam with a startled gaze.  Why was he now asking about Rachel?  Was he interested in her or something?]  No, she doesn’t.  I’ll be sure she knows your interested though. [He said with a chuckle, trying to get rid of the slight unease he had about what this meant.  Maybe he’d have to deal with seeing a hook up between his two roommates, but he could live with it.  He didn’t have a chance anyway.]

[Damnit, that’s not what he meant, Sam thought to himself, while also mentally slapping himself. However, the male did not protest as he was afraid Kurt would only ask more questions if he stated he wasn’t interested in Rachel. The blond just hoped that Rachel didn’t get more intense and on top of him, if Kurt really does talk to her and suggest he might be interested. Hopefully, she won’t even think about it. Unknowing what to really say, Sam stood up from the bed.] I shouldn’t keep you up any longer. I’m sure you need your beauty sleep. I mean, not that you need it. Just that I know it’s important to you. Goodnight. [Sam quickly finished and left, as he didn’t want to make himself look more like an idiot than he already did.]

We have plenty of cold cuts, don’t worry.  And chips should be safe since they are already bagged. [He laughed before looking at Sam in surprise.  Of all the things Sam could have asked him, that was the last thing that Kurt pictured.  He really didn’t think that Sam would ever ask him something like that.]  No, I don’t.  I probably wouldn’t be so flirty around another guy if I had a boyfriend in the picture. [He pointed out.  The question had come out of nowhere and as far as he could figure, Sam wasn’t interested in guys.]  Why do you ask?

Oh, yes, right... I forgot. I didn’t really think that you were flirting, but thanks for letting me know. [Sam felt a little blush upon his cheeks as they felt a little warm. He bit his lower lip and suddenly realized how strange he might have sounded by asking Kurt such a question. When the other asked him why he had asked, for a moment the blond hesitated.] ... Oh, I was just wondering. Does Rachel have one? [He added, hoping that asking about Rachel would ease Kurt possibly being suspicious of his intentions. However, Sam wasn’t necessarily sure of his intentions. It just came out.]

[Kurt breathed a mental sigh of relief.  He was happy that Sam wasn’t scared off by them enough to want to leave.  He settled his own hands into his lap and gave his new roommate a smile.]  That’s good.  And yes, New York does have its fair share of interesting characters.  [He waved his hand and shook his head.]  Don’t worry about it, Sam.  Maybe you can make sandwiches for lunch.  I don’t think you can ruin cold cuts. [He joked with a laugh.]

Yes, I’ll make sandwiches for you guys. Hope you got plenty of cold cuts, because I really love sandwiches, especially with a lot of meat. And I do not think I can mess up chips too. [Sam joked, with a little smirk as he looked over at the other young man.] So, do you have a boyfriend? [He asked, suddenly and was unsure of why it came out of his mouth, but it did and it was too late to take it back.]

Good. [The hand on his knee sent a shiver up Kurt’s spine and he bit his lip.  For a moment all was quiet and all he could focus on was the fact that this incredibly beautiful young man was sitting here in his room.  If this were a dream, he’d refuse to wake up.  Clearing his throat, Kurt spoke to get rid of the silence,[  So, how do you like living here so far?  I know it’s only been a day, but…I hope we’ve made your first day go well.

Yes, the first day was quite interesting. I can’t wait for more to come. [Sam went onto say, as he lightly rubbed the other male’s knee before pulling his hand away, and resting his hands in his lap.] You two both seem like very good people. So, I’m lucky to have found you two. So, far everyone in New York hasn’t seemed as bright and happy as you two. Guess you have to not be around here to be grateful and happy to be here. [He joked, with a little smile.] I’d offer to cook breakfast in the morning since you cooked dinner, but I don’t think you want the apartment to burn down.

Thanks.  Most guys wouldn’t be cool with a guy outwardly being flirty. [Now that he knew that Sam wasn’t offended, Kurt was now curious if there was a chance Sam liked guys.  However, it wasn’t a question he wanted to ask because they were roommates and he didn’t want to ruin that.]  Yes, I think she does, and I think she was, uh, thinking it was possible something might happen between us.  I don’t know why, but she just wants to see me happy, but it’s not like you’re gay.  And besides, it would make the whole roommates thing complicated even if you were. [Kurt realized he was rambling and he groaned.]  I’m sorry.  You’re probably wishing you never responded to our roommate ad now.

No, don’t worry about it. I’m not running away. [Sam reassured the other young male with a little smile, before putting his hand on Kurt’s knee, before stroking it as a way to comfort him in a way and reassure him he wasn’t going anywhere. However, he didn’t know what to say about the question of them being together, or the question of him being gay, or not. For a moment, they gazed into each others eyes, as Sam was unsure of how to move this conversation forward.]

Oh, well…good.  I wouldn’t want to scare you off or think that I am being…a predatory gay or something like that, as our resident high school drug dealer and former theater coach would say.  [He realized he was getting off topic and smiled slightly.]  You’ll get used to her, I’m sorry she got so intense for you.  I can ask her to tone it down, but that would be like telling an elephant not to trumpet. [He said genuinely.]  

[The blond was taken back by Kurt’s statement for a moment and tried to process it before shaking his head.] You’re not. Not that I’m bragging... But girls look all the time. Does that make them predatory? No. Just because you’re a dude doesn’t mean it makes things different. I didn’t see it that way at all... I didn’t even see you being interested. So, don’t worry about that with me. You fooled me. [Sam managed a little chuckle.] And I figured that about Rachel, that’s why I said I’ll just try to get used to it. Does she think I’m cute? Cause I don’t know if she does, but she comes off that way.

[Kurt turned when he heard the knock on the door and just about died.  Of course Sam would show up in nothing but Spiderman pajama shorts.  Now he wouldn’t be able to get that image out of his mind.  Listening to Sam’s apology, Kurt realized they both had been on different wavelengths.  He thought Sam was avoiding him because of how he was acting.  Sighing relief, Kurt took a seat beside Sam on the bed.]  It’s alright, Sam. I do know how Rachel can be, trust me. I wasn’t upset with you, I…I was upset with myself.  I felt like I was getting carried away…I guess being in the presence of a very cute guy will do that to someone. [He blushed before shaking his head.]  I was worried I had offended you.

Oh... I didn’t think you were... I didn’t know... You were getting carried away, or that you thought I was cute. [Sam bit his lower lip and looked down for a moment, trying to hide his blush. The young man felt as if he probably sounded like a babbling idiot, but honestly, he didn’t expect Kurt to say what he just said to him.] You didn’t offend me... Just Rachel is, I guess the right word to say is... Intense? [He questioned, as he looked up at Kurt.] I just felt embarrassed and didn’t know what to say, so I went. It had nothing to do with you. You just be you. Rachel on the other hand... Well, maybe I’ll get used to her eventually.

Conversation || Hevans F2F

[Once showering and drying himself off as best as he could, Sam put on his boxer briefs. However, after realizing it might be a little strange wearing the same underwear Kurt had seen earlier, the blond slipped on some pajama Spiderman shorts. Hopefully, it eased a little bit of the possibly tension between the two of them. Going into the other male’s room, Sam lightly knocked before stepping inside.] Hey. [He spoke softly, as he walked into his room and sat upon the brunette’s bed.] I’m sorry I suddenly left earlier... Rachel can be kind of... You know. I mean, you guys might be similar, but you’re different and you definitely know what I mean by her being a little-- I probably make no sense. Either way, I felt embarrassed earlier, because of what she said and I just wanted to go into my room. I could sense you were kind of upset that I left.

[Kurt was used to Rachel never taking a breath when speaking and he sent an apologetic smile Sam’s way, making sure that Rachel didn’t notice.  Whem she finished explaining things to Sam, he took over, but he didn’t bother trying to explain more since he knew it’d just confuse the poor boy.]  Maybe we’ll take you to see a play, but we’ll make sure it’s one that you will be interested in.  It’s too bad they haven’t made comic centered musicals.  Oh, wait, no, I’m wrong, I think they may have made a Spiderman one. [He chuckled then smiled as he handed Sam his plate.]  Thank you, Sam, would you like some help with the dishes?

[Rachel kept babbling about Broadway but she was glad that Sam didn’t whine and seemed to be genuinely interested in assisting to a play.] Then it’s settled. We’re taking you see a musical soon. You’re going to have so much fun. [Her disgusted expression on her face said it all when Kurt mentioned the disaster that was ‘Spiderman: TODD’] Don’t even mention that play. We shall forget that existed. Hopefully it won’t get a revival. [She looked at the boys and excused herself but before she left, she handed Sam her plate and headed to her chambers.] I’m completely sorry that I cannot help you clean those dishes but I have a large moisturizing routine and if I don’t start soon, I won’t be able to take my beauty sleep and you boys don’t want to see me with huge bags under my eyes.

[Sam couldn’t help to smirk as Rachel seemed to be in a hurry to leave the two of them to do the dishes. He grabbed a hold of Kurt’s plate as Kurt offered it to him.] Only if you wish to. I wouldn’t want to interrupt your routine as well. [The blond went onto say, as he stacked the plates on top of another, before putting the silverware on top and began to head into the direction of the kitchen.] But if you do not want to don’t fall asleep just yet, cause I... Kind of want to talk tonight. [The young man added before disappearing into the kitchen.]

[Just by Sam’s question alone, Kurt knew the blond had no idea how Broadway worked.  It was actually nice to be able to give him some information on how it worked so he could understand that aspect of his new roommates’ lives.] A Broadway play just means that it is performed at theaters in the Broadway district.  They also call plays off broadway if they are performed in other venues and have smaller seats.  But really, any play that has been performed is a musical when people sing in it, like Rent or The Sound of Music.  [He didn’t know if he explained this well for Sam to know, but he knew Rachel would probably love to chime in so he glanced at her.]

[Rachel was perplexed by the little knowledge Sam had about Broadway. She tried to be as polite as possible, but she couldn’t hide that she was completely offended that people out there had no idea what Broadway was. Of course people couldn’t be as bright as she was, so she decided not to take it personally. She took a deep breath after she was done with her plate and decided it was time to share some information with their newest roomie.] Yes, Broadway refers to the theatrical performances presented in the 40 professional theaters with 500 or more seats located in the Theater District and Lincoln Center along Broadway, in the New York City borough of Manhattan. Like Kurt clarified, most of the performances are musicals. The history of Broadway starts in the 17th century an is still extraordinarily active up to the present day. [She didn’t waste any breath while explaining Broadway, the words smoothly flew off her mouth as if she was reciting the letters of the alphabet.] You need to see it with your own eyes to see how magical the world of Broadway is.

[Sam blinked as he tried to take in everything that Rachel said. It was especially hard since the long haired brunette had a habit of speaking so quickly, without taking a breath for herself. Instead of asking for her to repeat what she said, the blond simply smile, and nodded.] Sounds awesome. I would love to see it sometime. [He genuinely was a little curious about it, even though musicals weren’t necessarily his thing. I mean, he liked the Sound of Music growing up. However, half way, he did have a habit of falling asleep, but he didn’t dare to confess that to Rachel and Kurt.] Let me do the dishes at least. [Sam offered, as he stood up from the table. He could see that Rachel seemed finished, but he wasn’t sure about Kurt. He collected his own plate and silverware, before offering to take the other two’s as well.]

[The kick was unexpected, but Kurt would be lying if he didn’t expect it from Rachel after all this time.  He knew what she was trying to do, though, and he figured the polite thing would be to oblige her and talk about what he could do.  After taking a bite of a potato and chewing for a bit, Kurt turned his focus to Sam.]  I love to cook.  And you have to make the Alfredo just right otherwise the sauce can over power everything else.  I’ll be happy to teach you though, otherwise we’ll just stick to impromptu karaoke sessions around the apartment. [Kurt joked before looking at Sam curiously.]  Do you like to sing?

[Rachel kept on chewing and enjoying the taste of her food as she watched Kurt and Sam chat in front of her. At the mention of music and karaoke, she knew that she had to interrupt.That was who she was.] Yes! I hope that Broadway melodies are to your liking, cause Kurt and I can hit those high notes quite easily. Of course we wouldn’t mind a change in the music and would definitely want to sing a duet with you. [She looked at Sam with her big bright eyes. Curious about his answer. Was she a pop aficionado or perhaps a country lover? Either way she couldn’t hide her excitement.] Please, do tell.

[Sam’s eyes widen at Rachel’s sudden jolt of excitement over the idea of singing and... Broadway? Of course, he knew that Broadway was here, but he wasn’t all knowing about really anything about Broadway. All that it was a musical, well a type of musical, or a genre, at least that’s what he knew. That they did Broadway musicals in New York.] Well, I sing, but I never really like... Performed, or anything really before. I mean, I have for my family. I play guitar mostly. What makes a musical a Broadway musical? Just it being performed here, or is it a type of style? [Sam asked, as he continued to eat his dinner.]
