Summary: Sam and Maxine take time to relax and enjoy the novelty of being able to soak in hot water
The Story:

The last few weeks have taken their toll on Sam and he's been one of the least affected, at least physically. But it's reawakened instincts, paranoia, that Sam had been working to ignore. It's all flared up again, the wary watchfulness that only comes when you're used to being hunted.

Not having any proper clothes to wear does make make this any easier.

But for now, he's found a pool that's a little secluded but still in sight of the Inn, for him and Maxine to enjoy. He's still worried about her. He's been worried about her a lot recently, unsurprisingly, between mind control and London and demons, he thinks he's allowed to fuss.

Sam takes a swig and it's nicer than anything they usually have at Abel. Way better than moonshine. He puts the bottle down between them.

"Yeah, it would be pretty embarrassing and I don't want to wake up Billy and Teddy by throwing up." That would just be... mortifying.

[abelmedic]

"They make you happy?" Yes, she's absolutely going there, and smugly as anything. But even then there's a care, a warmth to the question.

[voiceinthedark]

"Maxine." It's a whine, embarrassed but affectionate and he likes that she cares enough to check. That her first reaction isn't anger that he's having fun instead of working. "Yeah, they really do."

[abelmedic]

"Then stop being so embarassed about it," she chides, stealing another nip before nudging the bottle back toward him. "You survived the end of the world, Sam! Are you going to let something like dating a couple get to you?"

[voiceinthedark]

"I'm not exactly used to this! I've never dated a boy before, let alone two." It's strange and unfamiliar territory right now. "But you're right. I mean, I am also having a baby with a couple so..."
