:Grian's p.o.v:

I waited downstairs for the two to 'fix the sink'. I knew something was up with that Taurtis fellow. Was he trying to steal my Sammy?! I waited for Sam to come downstairs. He and Taurtis came downstairs, Sam smiling and giggling. He skipped into the kitchen and opened the fridge.

"Hey Taurtis? Can you go get some more eggnog? Where almost out." Sam said, shaking a large green cartin.

"Sure." Taurtis said. I realised he was sitting next to me.

"Grian, can you go with him to make sure he doesn't buy anything else. I don't want him to accidentally buy the thing I got him." I hesitantly nodded. We both got up and began walking. I followed Taurtis to the store and walk inside.

"Hey Pete, what's up?" Taurtis said, waving at a humanoid pufferfish. I went straight to the back to the back of the shop to find eggnog. I found the milk section, but they were out of eggnog. I sighed, now we would have to walk to the mall.

"Looking for this?" I spun around and taurtis tossed a carton of eggnog at me. I looked at him confused. He just laughed. It was kinda cute. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?! I love Sam! I can't fall in love with a guy I just met!

"Umm? You ok?" I snapped out of my thought and saw him looking at me confused.

"I-I'm fine. I just blanked out I guess." I said and began walking to the counter. The walk back was just as quiet as the walk there, but it felt less awkward. Like I was walking with an old friend. When we walked up to the door, I realised we were holding hands. How did I not realise this before?! Was I so lost in thought that I didn't realise him grab my hand? Or did I grab his hand? DAMN IT! We walked in the door and Sam squealed like a little girl, ran up to us and grabbed the eggnog. I sat down on the couch and watched as Sam began to make what appeared to be an eggnog tube cake. Sam looked over at me and signaled for me to go upstairs. He followed me upstairs, checking over his shoulder a few times, probably to make sure Taurtis wasn't following us.

"So...?" I asked

"What would you say if I told you that a boy likes you?" he asked in a whisper yell. I felt my face turn completely red. I giggled.

"I'd say you're pulling my leg, hehe." I looked at him and realized... This was no joke...
