Who: Iggy and Sam Ford
When: After school
What: These boys need to talk!
Warnings: One can only hope.

Sam had a lot on his mind. His dad had finally told Eliot that he was his son, but as a result, Eliot and his dad weren't really talking. Sam was glad Eliot was reaching out to him, at least--it was kind of nice to have a brother--but he knew his Dad needed him, too. Sam was worried that his dad would start drinking again. Nate seemed to be in a better place, but it was a worry that always nagged at Sam, especially during times of stress. Sophie was there too, which made Sam feel a little better. Nate had told him it was okay to go spend time with Eliot, and to go spend time with Iggy.

Iggy. There was another thing weighing heavily on his mind. On the one hand, he was glad he'd finally written that letter to the other boy to let him know how he felt. They were still friends, and still able to talk to eachother, so that was good. Sam wasn't expecting some fairytale ending, but at the time he'd thought the two alternatives were: A) And they lived happily ever after, or B) And Iggy hated Sam's guts and they never talked again. He wasn't really prepared for this limbo status. He was beginning to convince himself that he would end up an old maid, pining after Iggy forever. Things could be worse, he supposed. Somehow, they could probably be worse.

After dropping his books off at home and checking on his Dad, Sam headed to Alaska, via portkey. It was still weird to Sam that Alaska wasn't totally covered with snow. It was chilly, and he was glad he'd grabbed a jacket, but it was beautiful. He headed toward Iggy's house.

Sam grinned. Iggy liked stupid jokes, which was probably one of the reasons they got along. "Good," he said. "I really hope so." God, he really liked Iggy. He felt like he was going to explode with happiness or something.

Sam decided it was time for an honesty dump. "Hey, so.. Here's the thing. I don't want to decide that you like me, or whatever. And so I'm probably not going to make the first move, because. Well. I'm still a little afraid I'm going to do something that'll scare you off. But I don't really want to force you to make the first move, because," their first kiss would happen when they were 65? "that wouldn't be fair either. So, uh. You can just tell me, or whatever. I mean. I would totally not be offended if you wanted me to kiss you, just so you know. Kinda been wanting to do that. But I'm not saying any of this to pressure you because, y'know. This is the first time we're talking about it and I just wanted you to know the reason why I'm not. Or. Something."

	"It's cool." He said with a nod, "I get it." And he did, really, which surprised him a little, that he'd been able to follow the infodump and not lose anything, "And I think we'll figure that out too, when it's time, y'know?" there was another small, almost sheepish, smile, "And thanks." He shrugged, "For not just going for a sneak attack." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah." Sam nodded, smiling. Maybe part of him was hoping for a fairytale (or maybe softcore porn) ending where they just started making out there in the kitchen, but that wasn't very realistic. Besides, with the good news he'd gotten today, he couldn't complain. "Sneak attack? Have you met me? Really not my style." He laughed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Iggy smiled again, "Yeah, okay, good point." He shrugged, still leaning back on his hands against the edge of the counter, "Still though, thanks." He shook his head, "I mean, if it wasn't for you I wouldn't even have known you were an option, I appreciate that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sam raised an eyebrow, smirking a little as he teased the meaning out of that. It wasn't something he thought he'd ever be thanked for. 'Thanks for letting me know I might be gay'? "You're welcome?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He shrugged, "Anyway, now we know. We could probably start on the next batch, might get finished before the first one's out of the oven." That was Iggy, really, revelation was over, back to what they'd been doing before, done and done. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Somehow, for the rest of the evening, they managed to avoid being too awkward. Maybe it was just that having a revelation big enough for a few dozen evenings put them at a peak in their friendship--or whatever--that even awkwardness couldn't reach. It was a start.

It wasn't quite perfect. Even Sam's less colorful fantasies had involved more than this. But there were hope and cupcakes, and in the face of hope and cupcakes, even perfection seemed overrated.
