"Un Coup De pouce." Translation: "A Helping Hand."

Summary: Sami tries to convince Kevin to join the OG Bloodline.

Kevin can feel his blood boiling at the sight before him. He's gone for five minutes and someone is already hitting on Sami. He tries to remain calm, using the breathing techniques Dr. Shelby taught him. That is, until the man touches Sami's arm. That's the final straw!

Sami notices Kevin approaching in the distance, completely oblivious to what this man is trying to do, when it should've been so obvious.

Kevin clears his throat to which the man glances over his shoulder. "Can I help you?" He asks snidely, sizing up his competition.

The man is already starting to get on Kevin's nerves as he balls his hand into a fist, prepared to fight. "You're sitting in my seat."

"I don't see your name on it." The man quips, a smug smirk playing across his lips. "We're in the middle of a conversation here, so why don't you take a hike?" He asks, not realizing who he's messing with.

Kevin emits a menacing chuckle as he grips the man by his shirt collar, pulling him close enough so that he can whisper and not cause a scene. "I asked you nicely, get the fuck out of my seat!" He growls.

The mans eyes widen in sheer terror as he scurries off.

An amused grin tugs at Sami's lips as Kevin sits beside him. "We were just talking, Kev." He soothes, in hopes of calming him down.

"He touched your arm, Sami." Kevin counters, still fuming from the encounter. "No one is allowed to touch you but me."

Sami has to admit, seeing Kevin get all protective over him is kind of a turn-on. He knows whenever Kevin is around he'll be well taken care of, it's comforting to know he'll always have his back as he reaches for Kevin's hand, lacing their fingers together. "You have nothing to be jealous about, Kev." Sami reassures him, giving his hand a gentle squeeze. "You're the only one for me." He adds softly.

A/N: "You're the only one for me" is from my confession prompts. Thank you for reading, as always! 😊💖 My requests are open!

"Reticent."

A/N: My apologies this took so long! Thank you for the request. 😊

A big thank you to @loki69zowens for the translation, as always.

"Kev, please." Sami pleads, taking his hand into his own and giving it a gentle squeeze. "We're all he's got." He adds, his voice wavering.

Judging by his tone he can tell this is important to Sami and as much as he disapproves of the idea, he reluctantly obliges. "I'll do it for you Sami, but if he so much as harms a hair on your head, I'll make him wish he'd never been born." He warns, balling his free hand into a fist.

"I know." Sami murmurs, unballing Kevin's fist and lacing their fingers together. "You have my permission to kick Jey's ass if things go south." He says with a grin, loving how protective Kevin is over him.

That damn grin. How could he resist? "I really dislike you." Kevin counters, trying hard not to crack a smile and failing miserably.

“Oh, so you don’t hate me anymore?” Sami asks with an amused chuckle, noting the small smile Kevin's struggling to suppress.

Letting his guard down, Kevin's face softens, releasing Sami's hand to cup his cheek. "I could never hate you, Sami." He replies softly, allowing the smile to emerge on his lips. "No matter how hard I try."

Kevin peers out into the ocean. It's a calm, peaceful night as the sound of waves crash against the shore. He could hear footsteps approaching in the distance causing his stomach to churn.

Sami watches Kevin from afar, building up the nerve to confront him. He hasn't been acting like himself lately and Sami's hoping to get an explanation for these sudden outbursts. He takes a deep breath, preparing for the worst as he proceeds with caution. "Kev?" He asks.

Kevin remains silent, patting the beach towel for Sami to join him. He glances up at the sky, stars twinkling brightly. "I'm sorry for my behavior lately, it's just-" he pauses, gathering the strength for what he's about to say next. "I'm afraid I'm going to lose you again."

Sami takes a seat beside Kevin. He can tell right away something's amiss as he reaches for his hand, lacing their finger together. "Kevin, look at me." Sami coaxes, using his free hand to cup Kevin's cheek and focus his attention on him. "I'm not going anywhere, I promise."

Kevin could feel tears prick his eyes as Sami forces him to make eye contact, becoming lost in the warm honey glow. The gentle sea breeze blowing through Sami's crimson locks, taking his breath away. "Every time we're interviewed The Bloodline gets mentioned and I..."

"It's a touchy subject for both of us." Sami chimes in, reading Kevin's mind and finishing his sentence. "But when I was in The Bloodline, all I could think about was you." He confesses softly, his voice wavering. "And when it came time to pull the trigger, I looked at you and all the memories came flooding back."

The tears Kevin fought to suppress now trickling down his cheeks as he nuzzles into Sami's palm, reaching up to gently tuck a strand of hair behind his ear. "While you were away it was a lot quieter, so it gave me time to think." He remarks, his gaze locked on Sami as he digs for something in his pocket. "And I realized that I couldn't live without you." He removes the object to reveal a ring. "Sami," he falters, releasing a shaky breath. "Will you marry me?"

Sami emits an amused chuckle, he'd imagine it must've been quite silent without his presence. His eyes lighting up upon seeing the ring, their initials engraved in the center. "I thought you'd never ask."

Sami stares up at the night sky, a gentle breeze blowing through his hair as storm clouds approach in the distance. He sighs contentedly, feeling truly at peace for the first time in months.

Meanwhile, Kevin stands in the doorway, observing Sami in silence. A cold chill fills the air, prompting him to interrupt Sami's stargazing and drape a blanket over his shoulders. "What are you doing out here Sami, it's freezing!" He grumbles, crossing his arms over his chest.

The redhead chuckles in amusement as he proceeds to lift the blanket and pull Kevin underneath it as a means of shelter. "I was just thinking about when we first met." Sami explains softly, a gleam emerging in his honey eyes. "You hated my guts initially, but I was determined to make you laugh." He reflects fondly. "I remember the first time you smiled, it felt like the universe aligned."

Kevin's mind drifts back to that fateful day. There're few memories he remembers in vivid detail and meeting Sami is one of them. His bottom lip starting to wibble as their eyes lock in a steady gaze. Out of pure instinct, he manages to locate Sami's lips in the dark, capturing them in a gentle kiss. The low rumble of thunder overhead.

"Oui."

Ludwig makes a hasty retreat, nearly bumping into Sami in the process. "Control your husband." He sneers derisively.

"My husband?" Sami thought to himself. He had to admit, it has a nice ring to it as he approaches the locker room with caution. "Kev?" He calls out to him, peeking his head inside. The next thing he knew, he's being dragged unceremoniously into the room by his shirt collar.

A seething Kevin stands before him huffing and puffing. "Where've you been?" He asks, pacing back and forth like a caged animal. "First Baldy shows up, then Slenderman, I can't take it!" He exclaims, his shrill voice echoing off of the paper thin walls.

"Kev, calm down." Sami soothes, inching closer. "Remember what Dr. Shelby taught you, breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth." He gently reminds him, giving a demonstration.

Kevin scoffs incredulously. "Dr. Shelby's a quack, that crap doesn't work!" His voice rising in volume. "Breathing exercises are stupid anyway! Like taking a deep breath is really going to help the situation, why don't I just-" His sentence abruptly cut short by a pair of soft lips.

Growing weary of Kevin's rambling, Sami decides to take a different approach and brushes his lips against Kevin's to silence him. A hush falls over the room, the only sound that could be heard is the gentle thumping of their hearts beating in unison.

Once the initial shock wears off, Kevin returns the kiss with fervor. His woes a distant memory and Sami's lips are the cure.

The kiss breaks, leaving both men gasping for air. Sami leans down to rest his forehead against Kevin's, their eyes meeting in a steady gaze. "Feel better?" Sami asks softly, smirking at his dazed expression.

Kevin nods in response, struggling to find the words. "Oui." He replies breathlessly.

Characters reassuring each other + sentence starters.

Sami peers out into the ocean, listening contently to the waves crashing against the shore. It's a calm, peaceful night. The warm tropical breeze blowing through his hair. He emits a heavy sigh as Kevin crosses his mind, staring up at the stars twinkling in the sky.

Kevin watches from afar, building up the nerve to approach. It's been a while since they've met face-to-face and under less than pleasant circumstances. He draws a shaky breath, advancing in his direction.

The sound of sand being crunched pierces the silence. "Where've you been?" Sami inquires, his gaze fixed on the heavens, unwavering.

Kevin furrows his brows in confusion as he takes a seat beside Sami. "How did you know it was me?" He asks, burying his feet in the sand.

Sami smiles softly, glancing at one particularly bright star before turning his attention to Kevin. "Lucky guess."

As soon as Sami looks at him he feels his heart skip a beat. The way his eyes shimmer in the moonlight, their storied history engraved in the soft honey hue. "Listen, Sami, what you did at the Rumble..."

"I'd do it again in a heartbeat." Sami interjects, lacing his fingers through Kevin's. ''I'm here for you, no matter what.''

Emotions begin to stir. This isn't the first time Sami's words moved him to tears and it certainly wouldn't be the last. "You really are my guardian angel." His voice barely above a whisper as he reaches up to gently tuck a strand of hair behind Sami's ear. "Mon ange gardien."

Kevin's touch sends shivers down Sami's spine as he leans in close, their lips mere inches apart when a blinding flash appears overhead.

"Make a wish." Kevin suggests as the shooting star crosses the sky.

Sami shakes his head in response, turning to meet Kevin's gaze. "It already came true." He softly replies, brushing his lips against Kevin's.

EMOTIONAL INTIMACY & PILLOW TALK PROMPTS.

The drive back to the hotel is uncomfortably silent. The typically verbose redhead deep in thought. A mere taste of Kevin leaving him wanting more. The kiss, albeit brief, consuming his mind. There's an undeniable spark between them he couldn't shake.

As soon as the pair enter their shared hotel room, Kevin begins to undress. Curious, Sami catches a glimpse while Kevin's back is turned, his breath hitches. A warmth spreads throughout his body as he proceeds to crack open the window, the frigid Montreal air cooling him on impact. "That was some match." Kevin remarks, his voice piercing the silence.

Sami turns to face Kevin, who is now wearing a pair of boxers. "That was some kiss." He blurts out, kicking himself for allowing that to slip. His face burning as a blush creeps up his cheeks, struggling to maintain eye contact and not letting his gaze wander.

"So that's why he was being so quiet." Kevin thought to himself, a knowing smirk gracing his lips. "You felt it too?" He asks, advancing in Sami's direction. "Maybe we should try it again to make sure it wasn't just nerves?" He suggests, eyes fixed firmly on Sami.

Sami could feel his heart pounding in his chest as Kevin crosses the room. The air suddenly thick, making it difficult to breathe. His gaze meets Kevin's and time stands still. "Okay." His voice barely above a whisper, swallowing nervously as he watches Kevin lean in close.

With a shaky hand, Kevin gently cups Sami's cheek before capturing his lips in a tender kiss. Their suspicions confirmed as a shiver runs up Kevin's spine. Never had he felt anything so genuine. It's as if their hearts intertwined to become one. His emotions stir as Sami cradles his face in his hands, deepening the kiss by slipping in his tongue.

Moaning into his mouth, Sami returns the kiss with fervor, massaging his tongue sensually against Kevin's. Their bare chests pressed taut against each other as Sami releases Kevin's face to guide him closer. Eager to feel his body heat, now that the room is significantly colder.

Eventually Kevin's forced to break the kiss, resting his forehead against Sami's while he struggles to catch his breath. Their chests rising and falling in unison. "We really should have done that sooner, huh?" He quips, a sly grin spreading across his face.
