Sam stepped onto the cold tile floor as he waited for Gabriel to get to the bathroom, his arms crossed over his chest as goosebumps traveled along his skin. It only took a moment before the nurse popped his head into the bathroom, a small smirk playing on his face.

"Yes, my dear Sammy?" Gabriel asked cheekily, and Sam rose an eyebrow.

"Why is my hair pink?"

"Well, funny story. I couldn't remember which shampoo was yours, so I decided to booby trap both of them, just in case." Gabriel replied, waving his hand casually. He laughed when Sam pouted, the ridiculous hair color making it even more funny.

"How do I get it out of my hair?"

"Why Sam, it's so simple. You just have to wash it." Sam narrowed his eyes at the trickster nurse, who looked back at him innocently.

"Yeah, I tried that. Remember?" Sam growled, though a hint of amusement twinkled in his eyes, not like he was going to admit that to Gabriel.

"Okay, okay, I'll wash it out for you. Sit down in the bath." Gabriel said, grinning as he motioned to the bathtub. Sam looked towards it, then flushed when he realized that he was standing naked in front of Gabriel.

"W-wash it out for me?" Sam echoed, his voice catching just a bit. He shook his head, turning away from the nurse as thoughts began racing in his head. Things that he didn't want Gabriel to ever find out. Sure, he had a girlfriend before, but he found the nurse incredibly attractive, and he wasn't ready for any kind of rejection.

"Yes, Sam. I'm a nurse. I give it to patients almost everyday. I'm sure I can wash your hair without their being a problem." Gabriel said sarcastically. Sam had to agree with his logic and shyly nodded, taking a seat on the cool white surface of the bath. He heard Gabriel walk up behind him, taking the shower head and wetting down Sam's hair again.

Sam closed his eyes as he felt the cool of gel of soap in his hair, soon being scrubbed in by Gabriel's fingers. He felt the spray of the water a minue later, the suds running down his neck and back, sliding over his chest. He shivered involuntarily at the feeling and heard Gabriel softly chuckle behind him.

Another layer of soap was added, but this time, Gabriel took his time, working his fingers in a massaging motion across his scalp. Sam let out a soft sigh, his body relaxing at the motions. The nurse sure was talented.

"Enjoying yourself?" Gabriel asked with a slight hint of amusement. Sam only let out a 'hm' in response, smiling softly as his eyes fluttered open. He glanced back, seeing Gabriel on his knees so he could reach Sam better.

"I should let you give me showers more often." Sam said, a slight hint of teasing in his voice. Gabriel laughed softly, his soapy fingers sliding out of Sam's hair before they were replaced with water. Sam leaned his head back, letting all the shampoo was out.

As the water was removed from his hair, he leaned his head farther back, so he could look at him upside down. The nurse was reaching over, turning off the water before he dried his hands. He then took the cloth and rubbed it through Sam's hair, drying it.

"There, all nice and brown again." Gabriel said in satisfaction, going to get up. He stopped, however, when Sam's hand shot out, grabbing his arm gently. Sam took a nervous breath, feeling his heart beginning to hammer in his chest as he looked over Gabriel's features.

It seemed like forever before Gabriel moved, shifting closer so that Sam's head was on his chest and sliding his hands down the giant's upside down cheeks. He smiled softly, leaning down and kissing his forehead, pulling away when Sam shivered.

"Let's get you dressed, okay?" Gabriel suggested, smiling.

"Not yet." Sam replied instantly. He recieved a weird look from Gabriel, but he turned so that he was facing Gabriel, a look of determination on his face. "Can I kiss you?"

Gabriel blushed, his mouth opening then closing, as if he were trying to figure out what to say. "S-Sam? What do you mean?" The nurse asked, looking extremely nervous. Sam smiled softly, glad he wasn't the only that was nervous about it.

"Can I kiss you?" Sam repeated, his hand reaching out and sliding onto Gabriel's cheek. The nurse automatically leaned into the touch, biting his lip as he thought for a moment.

"um.....yeah. You can if you want to." Gabriel said softly, blushing at his own answer. Sam, on the other hand, smiled happily, running his thumb over the nurse's cheek bone, slowly leaning forwards.

The first kiss was just a gentle brush of the lips, short, and more of a test. They looked at each other as they pullled away, and Sam knew that Gabriel had felt the same tingling sensation he had, despite it being so brief. So he brushed their lips again, pausing for a second before he began languidly move his against Gabriel's. The nurse complied, and they kept it slow, keeping a constant pace.

They pulled away again, but only took a breath before they were kissing much fiercer, Sam letting out an involuntarily moan as Gabriel nibbled on his bottom lip, parting his mouth slightly so his tongue could dart across the nurse's plump skin.

They pulled apart again when Sam shivered against the cool surface of the bathtub on his bare skin, the hair on the back of his neck standing up. They looked at each other for a second before they both smiled, a chuckle escaping Gabriel's lips as he grabbed a fresh towel and wrapped it around Sam's shoulders.

"How about clothes first?" Gabriel suggested, and Sam nodded, feeling his heart fluttering quickly without an end. He felt as if he was floating on air as they both stood and he was led from the bathroom to his room, where he quickly dug out clothes and put them on, the warmth instantly surrounding the giant.

"Better?" Gabriel asked when Sam turned to face him. The giant nodded, sitting on the edge of his bed and fiddling with his fingers, biting his lip. Now his nerves were coming back since he had started coming down from his high of butterflies. He felt the bed sink down a little as Gabriel took a seat beside him, wrapping an arm around his waist and pulling him close.

"Don't worry, Sam. We'll take it slow." Gabriel said in a reassurance, and Sam let out a breath he didn't know he had been holding. He realized that's what was probably wrong with most of the relationships he had. He jumped into them way too quickly and they ended up being miserable times for the both of them.

He leaned against Gabriel, realizing how much warmer the nurse was than the clothes. "Thank you." Sam mumbled under his breath, though loud enough that Gabriel could hear. The nurse chuckled and squeezed him in a gentle hug, kissing the top of his head.

"Not a problem. How about we go watch a movie and eat some candy?" Gabriel said, amusement starting to drip from his voice. Sam let out a burst of laughter, sitting up and shoving the nurse playfully. Gabriel had always loved candy - as Sam quickly learned while living there - and even had an unhealthy obsession with it. It was a wonder that he stayed as healthy as he did.

"You and your candy." Sam said teasingly, smirking at the mock gasp that Gabriel let out, a hand going over the nurse's chest.

"Well!" Gabriel said, his voice high in a mock offended tone. "I could say the same about you and your rabbit food!"

Sam stuck his tongue out at him, rolling his eyes. "Yeah, yeah. Just because I like eating healthy automatically means I'm a rabbit." Sam said with a grin. Before Sam had gotten his memories back, they had found out he was quite fond of salad, which Gabriel could not comprehend. It was an amusing memory at the look of horror on the nurse's face at Sam's healthy preference, but the man quickly adapted.

"It does. IT's an abomination to like salad more than candy." Gabriel said, as if it were obvious. Sam rolled his eyes again.

"Whatever, Gabe. Are we going to watch that movie or argue about salad the entire time?" Sam asked, smirking as the trickster grinned and pulled him up, dragging him down the stairs and into the living room. He pushed the giant onto the couch, motioning for him to stay put.

"Stay there, I'll be right back." Gabriel said before running off. Sam listened and waited, looking out of the room to pass the time. After a few minutes, Gabriel finally came back, holding a movie case, a bowl of popcorn, and a shit ton of blankets.

He set his items down before putting the movie in and turning the TV on, grabbing the remote before throwing all the blankets over him and Sam until they were like to cuddling burritos, then set the popcorn in Sam's lap, stealing a few pieces and popping them into his mouth.

Sam wrapped his arm around the shorter boy, pulling him over so his head was against his chest and watched as the movie started, smiling softly. This was definitely a feeling he could get used to.
