Chapter Text
*Knock knock* was the sound that woke Darlin from their deep slumber. It took them a moment to fully wake up. But, after stretching their back, they got up with a groan. “Coming !” They said after being rushed by another knock at their door.
“Wha-... Sam ?” The tired wolf said, confused about why their mate was at their apartment. Did something bad happen? It was like two in the morning, he had no reason to be there. “I’m sorry if I’m disturbing you, Darlin... I just need to talk to you ‘bout something.” He said calmly.
“Oh, well come in then” The shifter answered. “Stop worrying now Darlin, you didn't do nothing wrong.” He said walking inside of the apartment “What are you talking about, I- I'm not nervous...” They said “Yeah okay and I'm not a vamp.” Sam said as he walked in the living room. They both sat on the old couch in their it was small and old ,so they had to cuddle up close to each other to have enough space.
“So, I wanted to ask you something. And before I ask. I need you to know that I don’t need an answer right now, or ever. I don’t want you to feel pressured to accept anything you don’t want to.” Sam said trying to sound as gentle as possible.
“Okay…” They said still a little groggy from sleep. “I wanted to ask…” He took a pause, trying to find the right words. “I wanted to ask you if maybe, you would like to come, and live with me?” The cowboy said quickly, “But again I realy, don’t need an answer right now! I know it would be a big change.".
But, oddly enough, no words came out of their mouth. He thought at first that they had taken it badly and started to fidget with his flannel anxiously waiting for his mate to say something. Sam noticed that his mate started shaking and breathing quite heavily. Had he made them mad , he hoped not. It was really the last thing he wanted, Sam felt stupid for even asking, but before he could even speak up he was interupted.
Suddenly, they started... Crying ? What in the world had he said to make his tank of a mate break down and cry ? "Darlin? What's wrong, did I say something to upset you ? I'm sorry if I did I-" he trailed off, longing to find his mate in their eyes, the light that always sparkled in their look was gone and it terrifed Sam.
