Sunshine, Starlight, Sweetheart, Brightside Part 2

Steven Grant X Fem!OC

Masterlist

Fic Summary: Steven meets Sam and they strike up a quick relationship, both kindhearted and loving, they fall fast. But both have a lot going on. Steven had Marc and Moon Knight, and Sam has mental health problems of her own. Slowly, Steven starts to put together pieces of her story as Sam starts to get to know Marc and Jake.

Chapter Summary: Short chapter, Sam and Steven go on their first date <3

Chapter 1 : Chapter 3

Steven Grant X OC, Marc Spector X OC

WARNINGS: Smut, fluff, angst, talk of self-harm, scars, depression, suicide, family issues, abuse, stalking, sexual assault (past and an attempt latter in the fic, not by the Moon Boys of course), canon typical violence. The OC has a lot of *eMoTiOnAl DaMaGe* so like it's heavy. But also, fluffy. Things will get smutty in a few chapters.

REBLOGS HELP A LOT!!

Marc is a bro, we stan a hype man

My AO3 is Romana_rose, my wattpad is Romana7Rose, so if you'd like to follow there, you can! I have one Han Solo/reader smut one shot, a Moon knight song fic, an ongoing Han Solo fic that is gonna be like 40 chapters, and now this

Can you catch the Schitts Creek reference in this chapter?

Call her, or I’m taking the body and calling her myself

Marc was chastising Steven through the mirror in the living room “Stop! I’m going to, I just don’t want to be weird. It’s weird to call the next day isn’t it?” Maybe normally, but you already told her about me and moon knight and she didn’t run away so I think we are a little past normal

“What if I freak her out?” Steven, trust me. She won’t be freaked out. I think she’s really into you.

“Okay. Okay. I’ll call her”

Steven about had a panic attack listening to the phone ring, the suspense was killing Marc. He was preparing to pick up the pieces.

“Hello?”

“Oh hello, it’s me, uh, it’s Steven”

“Steven with a V! This is a nice surprise!”

Steven and Marc both relaxed “Just Sam! Hi!”

“And I was just wondering if I had to get into another fight to get your attention or if I should just ask you on a date”

Steven panicked, the conversation took a turn he hadn’t rehearsed “Oh, well, I was rather hoping that I could take you on a date…”

Marc swore he heard Sam giggle. Ask what she’s doing tonight But it’s a monday. Just do it “What are you doing tonight?”

“I volunteer with Big Brother Big Sister and tonight is my day with my little sister, but I’m free tomorrow?.”

I can hear her smiling She volunteers? Christ, she’s not going to want to date me, she has no free time as it is just ask her “Would you like to go to dinner with me tomorrow? If you have homework or plans, it’s no big deal-”

“Steven I would love to! I’ll get all my homework done when the kids nap, perks of working at a play school. I’m off at 5, would you be able to come by around 6? I’m sorry if that's too early, I usually go to bed pretty early, if it’s too early maybe we can-”

“6 is perfect, are you sure tomorrow is okay? If you have to be up early, oh god and I kept you awake so late last night” Oh jesus christ, both of you.

“Okay, okay, maybe the Masala Zone? It has good reviews and people say it has lots of vegan options”

“Were you… were looking up vegan restaurants?”

“Uh… yeah, sorry is that weird? That was probably presumptuous of me huh.”

Oh for fucks sake shut up

“No no! I think it's very sweet, actually. Well, I’ll see you at six tomorrow?”

“See you at six, Steven”

The date went, as Steven told his fish later, swimmingly. Steven was head over heals and it seemed Sam felt the same. Normally, Steven would doubt everything he said and over think all her body language, but she seemed just as nervous as him. And she beamed at him, that’s what calmed Stevens fears. She never looked away from him other than nervously looking down at her food when she blushed, but her eyes didn’t wander. She even listened intently when he went on a long tangent about Egypt. It was a long, long tangent. But she continued to look at him like he was the most important person in the world. She even asked questions that showed she had been paying attention.

When he walked her home, Marc was yelling at him to kiss her, but he couldn’t bring himself to make the first move. He would simply die if he tried to kiss her and she moved away. Or worse, she didn’t want to be kissed and he still kissed her. He wouldn’t be able to forgive himself for that. They got to her doorstep.

Steven took her hand in his and stepped closer “You look really, really beautiful tonight. I mean that.”

Sam dodged her eyes to the floor and smiled from one side of her mouth “Thank you. I think you look amazing.” She met his eyes again “You are very, very handsome”

Now it was Stevens turn to blush. Kiss her, you idiot

Sam took another step closer and put a hand on his face. With a nervous smile, she moved closer and Steven wrapped a hand around her waist; He pulled her close as they closed the gap. It was perfect, she was perfect. At first, he was worried that he would smudge her lipstick, but as she deepened the kiss he did too. Feeling bold (in no small part thanks to Marc’s goding), he pressed his tongue through her mouth that she opened to him, and pressed her against the wall of the building.

Sam put a hand on his chest and Marc mentally thanked Marc for keeping them in shape, despite Steven never so much as running. Very, very, carefully, Steven moved a hand to the small of her back, there he kept it, not wanting to push her. He attempted to put every bit of this moment into his long term memory, he never wanted to forget the taste of her mouth or the feeling of her nails gently scraping along the hairline of his scalp. She gently tugged on his curls, and he inadvertently pulled her closer to him, wanting badly to be closer, free from the multiple layers of clothes required for the winter. He wanted to strip off every garment and tear into her, to feel her nails down his back like they were on his scalp.

When the kiss broke, Steven thought she might be the most beautiful person he had ever seen in his life.

“Thank you” he whispered

“For what?”

“I was beginning to think I would let this night end without kissing you” He pulled her in for a hug, and Sam thought she might burst into tears. He held her so gently, but with so much passion; it was a juxtaposition of feelings that he somehow worked together.

“I’d invite you upstairs, but I have a test tomorrow. Can I see you later this week?”

“I would love that” Steven felt like his heart might explode. Despite the cold weather, he felt completely warm. As he walked down the street and almost felt like skipping, he felt like a child. You did it Stevie, you had a successful first date I suppose it was a second date, technically No, last night was hanging out, this was a date. And it went great. She’s beautiful Steven. Oh, isn’t she just stunning? Her hair is the prettiest shade of auburn I think possible. And it’s naturally curly too. You notice that? Today it looked like she straightened it and then curled it but last night it had that natural curl. I suppose that's the red hair. And her eyes are so blue I could look at them all day You were looking at them all day oh god, was I being weird? Don’t second guess yourself. She looked at you like you hung the stars. Relax. It went well. Why are you so supportive all of a sudden? Marc was quiet for a moment Come on, don’t stop talking now. She cares about you. She makes you happy. And that makes me happy. This could be good for both of us. I don’t want to just… take your life Marc. It’s your body, technically. Stop, no. Don’t even worry about that, I told you months ago I would leave you alone, and I haven't exactly done that. I just want you to be able to live your life. I don’t know why we still have the suit but I don’t want whatever is happening to interrupt your life. It’s our life, Marc. Maybe she wants to date both of us. Slow down there buddy, you’re not even her boyfriend yet, officially. Don’t get ahead of yourself. I think that ship sailed.

*************************************

Chapter 1 : Chapter 3

Tummy

Warnings: none, fluff, talk of insecurities, slight angst

Gn reader

An: I have returned and gayer than ever Masterlist

Steven

Steven’s always been slightly insecure

His hair was always too messy, his tend to ramble was embarrassing, and his hobbies and interests were too nerdy

And all of that was magnified when you started dating

He always thought ‘maybe this is what makes them leave me’ whenever he saw or did something he didn’t like about himself

The one thing he always liked about himself was that he was always somewhat muscular

He had decently toned abs and a respectively hard chest

So when he found he started growing a tummy, he was certain you would leave him

He started trying to hide it the best he could, hoping he could delay the imagined inevitable

He wore darker colors, cut back on the snacks he was eating, and started walking in the early morning

But nothing really worked

And he was noticeably upset about it

Ask him about it if he’s still upset after a few days

He’ll try to pretend it’s Donna being a bitch

Key word: try

He could never lie to you and keep with it

He would feel so guilty, he could never forgive himself for hiding anything from you

Sit him down and talk through his concern

Give him a kiss whenever he starts stuttering or trying to shy away from you

When he explains is worries, hug him

Hug him like his life depends on it

Tell him you love him and all his quirks and hobbies

And his tummy

Explain to him that having a bit of fat on his stomach or some extra pounds is ok

He knows it’s ok, he’d never insult someone for how they look or weight, but he needs to know it’s ok for him

He needs to know the things that make him who he is, you love every single one

He might start crying, so give him a kiss the top of his head

And tell him he’s beautiful

Every relationship he’s had has ended in flames, but he genuinely, wholeheartedly thinks that all of those failed relationships has led him straight to you

And he couldn’t be more ecstatic to have a domestic future with you

Marc

Marc already doesn’t like himself

He hates himself, actually

He sees himself as a terrible, dangerous person that doesn’t deserve happiness or love

So when he starts dating you, he doesn’t know if he should be proud or sad about it

What if you’re only dating him because you’re dating Steven and Jake?

What if you’re only with him out of pity of his sad, depressing life?

He’s always looking out for the day you fall out of love with him or reveal you never loved him

And it keeps him up at night

And then he found his tummy

Normally, he wouldn’t be upset by this

He knows weight gain is normal and as you grow and your environment changes, it can effect the way your body processes food and works

But he can’t help but feel so sad about it

What if this is the straw that breaks the camels back and you leave him?

He couldn’t handle that

He loves you with his entire being, how could he go back to living a life without you?

Marc isn’t good at hiding his emotions so you pick up on his shift in mood immediately

Ask him what’s wrong as soon as you notice he’s upset

He won’t be inclined to talking about it, he’s not used to it, but he’ll know you’re worried and that’ll help

Eventually, he’ll go to you on his own, so just be patient and occasionally remind him you’re here for him

When he does talk to you about his insecurities, he’s gonna avoid looking at you

Hold his hand and wait for him to finish

Maybe rub his back or place a hand on his knee, but don’t say anything

When he’s done, give him a

“Baby, it just means you’re happy, healthy, and being taken care of”

He’s gonna cry cause he knows you’re right

He is happy and healthy because how could he not be?

He’s with you

Give his nose a kiss and hold his face

Squish his cheeks and he’ll smile and hold your hands to his face

He’ll give them a kiss before pulling you into the tightest hug

To make him feel a little better, poke at his sides and tickle him

He’ll start laughing and tackle you to the couch, rolling around in pure happiness

After Layla, he didn’t think he could be with anyone again

His life was too dangerous and he thought he didn’t deserve anyone

He didn’t want to ruin someone else’s life, his was already depressing and full of death, what kind of man would he be to subject someone he loved to that kind of life?

But then he found you and you changed his entire world view

And by god he’s never letting you go

If he had the chance to redo anything in his life, he’s comfortable saying he wouldn’t change a thing

Because it all led to you

Jake

Jake takes pride in his appearance

He always makes sure his hair looks good before and after he has his cap on

His suit is always well taken care of, never folded or hung up without the proper covering

And now that he lives in a stable home with you, he has a skin care routine

And while Jake knows having some tummy and fat on your bones doesn’t mean you’re out of shape or not fit, having that extra meat on his bones is not how he sees himself as fit

He tries everything to work off his tummy, but it persists

And he’s so genuinely upset

He kinda pulls away from the relationship, unintentionally, but it happens

He focuses on why he can’t lose the few extra pounds he gained and solely on that, momentarily abandoning your relationship

When you confront him about it, it’s after you’ve realized why he’s upset

You caught him in the mirror frowning at himself and poking his stomach

It broke your heart

You’ll confront him about in the the morning while you two still lay in bed

“Jake?”

He’ll hum in acknowledgment but keep his eyes closed

“I love you.” “Te amo, mi amor.”

“Jake?” “Hm?” “I love you.” “Yo también te amo, cariño.”

“Jake.” You’ll cup his cheek. “I love you.”

Jake will open his eyes, slightly concerned

Why’d you say it so... heavy?

Like you meant something behind it

“Cariño?” “I love. You. All of you.”

His heart

He’ll smile and place a hand over yours, only moving it to place a kiss on your palm

“Thank you, mi amor.”

Later in the day, tell him he still looks as hot as ever, if not more and he’ll kiss you passionately

He’s never been in a relationship, at least not a romantic one, so this relationship means the entire world to him and you being there for him, comforting him over his anxieties is something he would never let go

It feels so domestic and he could tear up at the thought of having a future with you

Te amo, mi amor - I love you, my love

Yo también te amo, cariño - I love you too, honey

Cariño - Honey

Mi amor - my love

Sunshine, Starlight, Sweetheart, Brightside: Chapter 15

Masterlist here

Steven Grant X OC X Marc Spector

Chapter Summary: The morning after Marc and Sam confessed they are in love with each other and some steamy smut, Sam has a favor to ask. Not a super eventful chapter, but it's got some cute moments.

I'm glad y'all liked the Marc content, finally Marc and Steven and Sam can all be happy together! For now... there will be a few cute chapters before things go downhill again.

Italics is Marc's thoughts

Bold is Steven's thoughts.

And I think I'll start doing Jake's thoughts in red

if this is impossible to read let me know another color to try.

When Marc and Sam woke up that morning, Marc watched Sam stretch, her naked, pale body practically reflecting the sunshine off her.

“Fuck, I’m soar” Sam grumbled, but she was smiling.

Marc nuzzled his face into her upper chest, “I bet Steven doesn’t leave you soar the next morning” Marc commented.

Sam played with his hair “Marc, honey?”

He looked up at her “Yes?”

“Love, if this is all going to work… The two of you can’t be comparing yourselves to each other. I love you both. I love you in different ways. You are both perfect to me. Okay?”

Sighing, Marc replied “You’re right, Brightside.”

She looked at him “I love you very much. I hope you know that.”

“I do” Marc kissed Sam’s chest where he was laying “And I love you too.”

“Come on,” She tapped his head. “Up, I’ll make breakfast before I head out. Walk me to the bus?”

Marc groaned, grabbing onto Sam tightly as if he could stop her from leaving the bed “Nooooo, just stay with me…”

Sam giggled, hugging him back “I can’t, goofball. I got my volunteering to do!” She shrieked as she felt Marc tighten his grip and she began wiggling around in the bed, attempting to break free.

Marc wasn’t relenting, smiling broadly as he attempted to counter out her movements. “Just take one day off, it won’t kill you to play hooky”

Sam laughed loudly, surprised at the joyful look on Marc’s face “Play hooky? Marc, we’re not in high school anymore”

Marc put on a fake British accent. “Don’t you mean ‘secondary school’”

Ty was sitting up, trying to pull herself out of Marc’s grip, Marc’s head on her belly now. “Hey, when it’s just us, we can be two Chicago kids- AH!” Sam fell back, sliding off the bed and onto her back “Fuck!”

Marc leaned over the bed with a worried face “You okay?”

Sam smiled “I’m fine Starlight,” her legs were still up on the bed “Think you’re strong enough to pull me up?” She teased.

Marc looked cocky “Oh yeah, I absolutely can.” Marc fell for the bait.

When Marc took Sam’s hand, she moved a foot to the edge of the bed, using the leverage and extra force to pull on Marc.

“Sam what are- FUCK” Marc fell on top of her with a thud, the heavy weight of his muscles knocking the air out of Sam. They both laid there, groaning on the floor.

“Instant regret…” Sam muttered.

“Again,” Marc breathed out, face pressed on the floor and he laid across from her “Are you okay?”

Sam smacked his ass “A lot better with this view”

“Okay, you win, I surrender, we’ll get out of bed” Marc pushed himself up.

“I don’t think you can surrender when I already won…”

Sam grabbed a long t-shirt and some underwear from the dresser, and tossed a shirt and pj pants to Marc “Here.” Marc took the items and got dressed, sitting on the bed.

“Breakfast is cereal, I’m too lazy to cook.”

“Sounds good to me, baby.” Marc sat at the table and poured some sugary cereal, happy that for once Sam wasn’t worried about calories.

After they ate, Marc was looking Sam over, admiring the woman before him. As he scanned down her body, he saw her fingers. Her thumb was tapping against every finger, alternating; her nervous tick. “Something wrong?” He was still looking at her hand.

Sam glanced at him and followed his eyeline, seeing that he noticed. “God damn it” she muttered “Well, since you’re here… there was something I hoped I could ask you and Steven. It’s not bad, I just want to talk to you guys… Can you get him?”

“Yeah, of course, on sec” Hey, wakey wakey eggs and bacey. I’m vegan Wakey wakey, tofu and sadness What do you- oh shit! How did last night go? I’ll tell you about it later buddy It must’ve went well if you're wearing her pajamas Shut up. Sam wants to ask us something.

“Okay, he’s here.”

“Is Jake here? It’s a favor, I need his permission too”

“You don’t need Jake’s permission for anything.”

vete a la mierda AH! Oh Jesus Jake, can you not sneak up on us? Learn to sense when I’m here, tonto.

Sam watched the internal conversion float through Marc’s eyes. “It’s Jake’s body too, I want to clear things by him.”

“He’s here, what's going on?”

“Well… Christmas is coming… And my mom had… well this might be uncomfortable for you, Marc, or maybe for both of you, but my mom said… I thought-”

“Babe? It’s okay, you can just say it.” Marc coaxed.

Sam took a deep breath “Okay. My mom invited you to come out for Christmas. It wouldn’t be the whole break, just a few nights, I can’t take my family too long at once…”

Steven broke through, overjoyed. “Oh love! I would love too!” Steven stood up and came behind Sam, grinning as he hugged her “Your mum wants to meet me?”

Sam smiled brightly at her sunshine, happy to see him as always and wrapping a hand around his arm. “Hey Steven! I’m glad you're excited, I’m… less than excited… it’s always a little tense… there's a few things, before you agree to come.”

Steven moved around to the side of Sam’s face, still hugging her. “If you want us there, I want to be there.”

“Just listen… the first thing is… my dad will be there, of course.”

Oh shit Why would he be there? Her parents are still together After all that?

Steven moved to sit again, but not before pulling the chair closer to Sam. “Ah.”

“Yeah. And it’s fine, he doesn’t hurt me anymore, not physically. The thing is, I need you on your best behavior. Marc, I’m talking to you. He’s probably going to bait you by picking on me, try to draw you into an argument. And you can’t argue.”

He put a hand on her knee. “Well love… if he’s mean to you, I’m going to stand up for you…”

“No, Steven, it’s not that simple. I have 4 kids under 18, he still has control over them. If he’s mad enough at me, I’ll lose contact with them. And if Chris gets dragged into it, Chris can lose contact too. And if they don’t have contact with us, they have no escape, no outside help. They need us. I won’t risk that.”

Steven nodded, thinking about how she called her siblings her kids. “I understand.”

“Does Marc?”

Well? I’ll try

“He understands.”

“Okay, okay great… the other thing is… um… so the house is kinda small… uuhhhh…”

“Sam, darling,”

“Right, right, well… The house is small. There's not a lot of rooms and with the whole catholic thing, we can’t stay in the same room… You’d be in the basement… with the boys… It’s a furnished basement but you’d share it with Chris, Ben, Dom and Simon.”

“Is that it? That’s no problem.”

“And no sex all weekend”

Oh god fucking damn it “Oh. well. That’s a bit of a problem, but I suppose I can work with it” Steven joked. “Is that it?”

“One more thing…”

“Anything, my dearest.”

“Well… I don’t know if this is something you’d be open to, you don’t have to do it, I can just do it with my family, I know Marc might not be comfortable with this and that's fine, and you might not be comfortable, considering you’re Jewish,-”

“Hijueputa! Escupirla. Spit it out- Oh jesus, sorry, that was Jake”

“Yeah I kinda figured… with the spanish and all…”

“I’m sorry, but whatever it is, it’ll be okay.”

“Right then, well… We’d arrive on christmas eve and… there’s church…”

“Oh. Do your parents think you still go?”

Sam was wringing her hands together “No, they know I left the church… but it just makes my mom really happy when the family is all together. Teresa doesn’t go either, but we all go when we’re together… I know it probably seems odd but being together as a family is important to us, even if our dad is there…”

“No, that makes sense… you and your siblings are a unit and you love your mom and I guess your dad is… there. But I think it’s lovely you are all so close.”

“Thank you. Now you don’t have to come, you can stay at the house, but I wanted to extend the invitation to you… You don’t have to do anything while you're in mass…”

Steven was touched “Oh love, you want me to come to this with you? I’d be happy to go!”

Sam lit up immediately “Really?”

“Of course!”

“And Marc is okay with it?”

“Marc says he just won’t be in the consciousness, but it’s fine”

“Oh, you guys are the BEST!” Sam dove in for a hug, which Steven gladly accepted, taking her in his arms. You notice how hard it was for her to ask that? Yeah… she was really nervous I can’t believe she called coming to Christmas a favor! It’s an honor. I can’t wait, really, I can’t wait to meet everyone! Meeting her dad is going to be interesting… Yeah, but we’re going to be on our best behavior, right Marc? I’ll try That’s reassuring Fuck off Jake

“Okay darling, I’m going to give the body back to Marc so you can finish your date, when can I see you next?”

Sam stood up and went to her dresser for her clothes “It’s finals week, so I don’t know… I don’t know if I have any time this week… It’s really important…”

Walking over to where Sam was, Steven replied “Oh… Well, that’ll be okay… If you do have time after work, you can come over anytime. Will you call me?”

She took his hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze “Of course, every day.”

Steven drew her in for a kiss, he was going to miss her “I’ll see you friday, Just Sam”

“I love you, Steven with a V”

“Hey Brightside” Marc returned

“Hey Starlight” Sam squeezed the hand that she still had from Steven, then let go “You ready?” Sam asked, slipping on her shoes.

“Yeah, I’m just gonna go to the bathroom, be right back.”

“Wash your hands” she chided, absentmindedly.

“Yeah, yeah” Marc went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror “Hey! Hey Steven” He whispered.

“You okay bruv?”

Marc grinned “Yeah, I’m doing great. I’ll fill you in on the details when I get home… but I couldn't wait to tell you” He raised his eyebrows “She said she loves me, but I have a feeling you knew what this was about already.”

Steven smiled back “Yeah, I might have had an idea… did you say it back?”

“Oh! Minor detail. I said it first” Marc smirked.

“MARC!”

“Shhhh, Jesus you’re loud.”

Steven was too giddy to care “She can’t hear me, you bloody wank. That’s great!”

Marc flushed the toilet to keep up the illusion of using the bathroom.

“Thanks buddy, I’m kinda freaking out. I don’t know how to do this.”

“Well you got Layla, didn’t you”

Marc gave a confused look “And that worked so well, didn’t it?” Marc ran the water.

“Come on Marc, that was different. You can do this. I’ll guide you, okay?”

“Really?”

“Yeah, now step one is very important, do this and you’ll have her heart.”

Marc was impatient “Well don’t just stand there, fucking tell me!”

“Go buy her an iced caramel macchiato with almond milk”

When Marc exited, Sam was ready to go “You ready honey?”

“Yeah, let’s go get you some coffee.”

Sam smiled at him and took his hand, but frowned and looked down.

Marc saw her face change “What’s wrong?”

“You’re hands, love.” Sam let go and walked to her bedside drawer, pulling out a bottle. Marc looked at his hands, they were chapped and cracking. His skin never did like the cold.

“What’s that?”

“Lotion.”

Sam held out a hand for Marc, who placed his hand in hers. Squeezing the liquid into her other hand, she rubbed the lotion in. Marc was speechless. He watched her as she carefully rubbed it into his chapped, dry hands, being gentle over his cracked knuckles. After the tops of both hands were done, she got more and started massaging his hands. No, not rubbing it in, massaging. Marc couldn’t believe how good it felt. She slid up and down his fingers and it was damn near erotic. But when she went into his palms? God that felt good. So intimate, he felt like he could almost cry. When she touched him without any pretense of sex, without wanting anything in return, he can’t help but feel like this is real, like she really does love him, like he is deserving of the love.

Maybe he is.

Steven was working in the gift shop, missing Sam. It was Thursday and he hadn’t seen Sam since that Saturday morning and they had never gone this long without seeing each other. She had called him every chance she had, but nothing would substitute being around her. He understood why, of course. Her classes were very important and he would never want to get in the way of that. He was well aware that dating him tended to cut into her sleep already. He hoped he could see her this friday, but he also knew she might want to celebrate or be with her friends.

“Hey Steven!” Like an angel, Sam’s voice called his attention. Damn the consequences if Donna see’s him, he stepped outside of his work space to bring her into a tight hug. She hugged back with her free arm, but her right was carrying a tin.

“Hello love! What are you doing here?”

Sam kissed his cheek, “I had some time between finales and I just really, really wanted to see you. I’ve missed you two so much. I just couldn’t take it anymore.”

“Oh darling,” Steven took her free hand in his “I’ve missed you too, it’s awfully lonely sometimes, but I know how important this week is.”

“Has Jake been around?”

“Not a whole lot. He’ll talk to me sometimes but he mostly stays quiet when Marc is around.” He leaned in to whisper, as if that would stay Marc and Jake from hearing “They aren’t getting along still.”

Sam pouted “I specifically asked them to get along. Are they here?”

“Marc usually leaves when I’m at work unless he senses something is happening. I don’t know how he always knows. Jake might be here. I can’t quiet tell when he comes and goes, I get the feelings he’s always watching. I told Marc he needs to make an effort with Jake. Marc says you asked me to try to get along. He says he’s exempt.”

Sam rolled her eyes. “Here, I brought these for you and your coworkers for the holidays. They are just store bought.” He handed him the tin, it was full of cookies.

Steven lit up “Oh that’s so kind of you! You’re always so thoughtful, that's why you’re my sweetheart.” Steven booped her nose and Sam’s face and nose scrunched up into a smile.

“Is there any way you can sneak out for a minute? I don’t want to take up your break time or anything-”

Steven thought for a moment “My break isn’t for a few hours, but I’m technically allowed a smoke break.”

Sam laughed “Does it count as a smoke break if I’m the one smoking?”

Steven called out to his boss “Donna I’m going on a smoke break”

Donna whipped around “You don’t smoke” She glared at him and Sam, despite Sam’s best smile.

“I just started” He grabbed his coat, not waiting for Donna’s permission. “I realized smokers get more breaks than me so I picked it up for fun.”

“I better see you actually smoking on that camera Stevie.”

“Right, sounds great” and he dragged Sam out of the room to the smokers area.

Sam pulled out her smokes “Do you actually need a cig to pretend you are smoking?”

“Yeah probably, I don’t doubt she’ll look at the cameras.” Steven pointed up.

“Here” She popped a cigarette in his mouth and stepped up to him with her lighter, cupping his mouth from the wind. “Suck on the cigarette when the flame comes so it’ll light. DO NOT BREATHE IT IN. I don’t need you addicted to these fuckers. And you’ll cough your ass off.”

Steven did as he was told, sucking the smoke into his mouth but not inhaling “I bet Marc smoked before, our lungs could probably take it.”

“Either way” Sam pulled one out for herself “Maybe, but if he used to smoke before I don’t want the two of you to start up again.”

“Have you considered…” He stopped himself. Steven had wanted to broach the topic of quitting at some point, but he didn’t think it was the right time. Steven never wanted her to think he was telling her what to do.

“Quitting? I consider it all the time. Then I light another one.” She went to light her cigarette. “Suck on it again, see the brown spots? That means the burn is dying.”

“Here love” he took the lighter and stood to block the wind, lighting it for her.

“Thank you baby.” She took a deep drag. “Do you know why Marc is so against Jake?”

Steven accidentally breathed some of his cigarette and coughed “I think Marc is still mad about the whole incident. He’s being a right knob about it. I understand it, I was mad at Jake for a while too but I think it’s important we all get along. I think Jake means well, even if he can be an ass. Jake didn’t make Marc punch the mirror, that was his choice, you know?”

“Yeah, I agree honey. I think Marc is just so protective, it’s hard for him to look past seeing Jake as a threat.”

Steven smiled reassuringly “He’ll get over it, I’m sure. Jake likes to push his buttons too. They’ll figure out how to be around each other one day.”

Sam looked sad “Yeah, I just hope it’ll be soon. I don’t like tension… They are more similar than either wants to admit” She sighed, turning to him “Hey listen, Jessica and Elena want to go out friday, it’s their finals week too, but I miss you so much…”

Steven tried not to hide the disappointment “It’s okay sweetheart, your friends are important too, you go spend time with them.”

Sam smiled at him, taking his hand as she took one last drag “Actually, Elena invited you. You don’t have to go-”

Steven stopped her, holding her hand tighter “Sweetheart, I would love to go. I’d love to get to know them better…Can I ask you something?”

“Yeah” Sam looked worried.

“Why… When there’s something you want to do or someone you love invites me to join, you always get nervous and you give me a thousand ‘outs’. I know you always want me to come, why do you treat it like you are asking a favor? I want to spend time with people important to you.”

Sam shuffled and dodged Steven’s eyes for a moment “I just don’t want you to feel like you have to, if you’re uncomfortable or don’t like my friends or something.”

“Sam, darling.” Steven tossed his cigarette to the side and took her chin in his hand, making her look at him “I love you, so I will love those you love. Your siblings, your mom, your friends, the 60 year old music you listen too…” This made Sam laugh, Steven smiled and continued “I love all the things that make you who you are. I would love to go out with your friends.” He continued gently holding her chin as he went in for a kiss. Sam opened her mouth to him, giving him a sensual kiss as a thank you for him being him. “I better get back to work, thank you so much for the cookies love, everyone will be so delighted to have a treat. I’ll come get you Friday?”

Sam went from one more quick kiss “Yeah, Jess and Elena will be getting ready with me at my place.”

“Sounds great Sweetheart, I can’t wait.”

They began walking inside “Steven, can I say hi to Marc before I go?”

“Of course, I’ll get him.” A pause “Hey Brightside.” Marc pushed Sam against the wall as he kissed her, taking in the feeling of her body against him. “Was Steven smoking?” He could still taste the smoke in his mouth.

Sam laughed “Yeah, we had to pretend we were on a smoke break so Steven could get away, he has to get back to work but I wanted to see you real quick”

With a devilish smile, he moved in on her again “I think we can steal another minute” He captured her mouth in his, biting her lip as his hands moved along her back.

Sam smacked him, but when he pulled away she was smiling “Stop, you’ll get Steven in trouble!”

Marc pouted “Fine, can I hold your hand at least?”

“Always” It took less than a minute to get back to the gift shop “I’ll see you friday, you guys are going out me, Jessica and Elena and me”

Marc raised an eyebrow “Oh, I am?”

“Well. Steven is” a kiss “I wish you could actually meet them, Marc. Maybe you could some day? They are really nice, I think they’d understand.”

“I think Steven is the best for winning friends' approval. I’ll be watching though. Better put on a good show for me”
