--- AWKWARD Sam has always been slightly awkward - even when he was far younger and his slight mental disorder hadn't yet been diagnosed, he was a shy child. He'd hide behind his mother's leg when confronted by strangers and found it difficult interacting with the other children at school. Because of it, he suffered a certain amount of bullying when he was smaller. Through high school he came out of his shell a little, but he still finds it difficult to act socially graceful around new people. Once someone has gained his trust and is completely let in by Samson, however, he's perfectly normal. A lot of people just think he's a giant asshole who refuses to talk to anyone due to believing them to be below him, and others think he's a total freak.

--- LOVEABLE Once Sam lets you in, it's hard not to love him. He has a contagious laugh and a nature that simply makes people want to be around him. Although he can often be brutally honest, he'll also tell you straight up how he feels about you - his family is showered with compliments and affection. He's a complete sweetheart and will do anything within his power make someone smile. His social skills aren't bad enough that he doesn't know what people enjoy and what upsets them. Really, he's like a big, cuddly teddy bear or a puppy you just want to snuggle and love.

--- INTELLIGENT Like many people with his condition, Sam is incredibly intelligent. It's an irregular sort of smart, and he's very logical when it comes to finding solutions to problems or fixing something that might be broken. There wasn't a class in school that he didn't get an A in, and he's especially quick with technical issues. Mathematics is a strong point and if there's something wrong with a computer, Sam can usually figure it out and fix it in a very limited timeframe. Logic makes sense and emotions don't - it's why Sam feels more comfortable spending time with his head in a book rather than getting to know new people.

LIKES: His family (especially his sister Ruby), Xbox, Pepsi, books, maths, movies, interesting facts, hugs, making people laugh, freshly-baked cookies, apple pie, football.
DISLIKES: Loud places, crowds, meeting new people, cats, popcorn, emotional problems, boys who hit on his sister, tea, pools, baths, any large area of water he could possibly drown in.

Samson was a normal baby born to a normal family - a beautiful baby, in fact, who received many compliments and who slept wonderfully through the night. He was the second and last planned child born to the Honeycutts. Of course they wanted to have more children, but the two little girls came when the timing was imperfect. This didn't mean they were any less loved, only that the family was a little mismatched as far as age groups went. Eliott and Samson had the perfect gap between them - four years and one month apart. Samson and Ruby, however, were born much closer together.

Although his mother and father had initially worried that Samson might become jealous and resentful towards his baby sister, they couldn't have been more wrong. The pair of them got along like a house on fire, she was Sam's best friend and the only one he felt compelled to talk to without having to hide any part of his nature. Sam had always been a slightly awkward and incredibly shy child - his mother had put it down to nerves - she'd taken him to a speech therapist for his stutter and that was as far as it went.

As Sam grew older, things got a little worse. He had trouble concentrating in school, he couldn't make friends as easily as the other children and he often experienced being enraged for no actual reason. Of course, the children's doctor his parents took him to put it down to some sort of defecit disorder and told them that unless they wanted Sam on medication, all they could do was work on his behaviour and assist him with his troubles.

When Milly came along, things changed completely. The little girl was born with leukemia, and although she remissed for a short while, it ended up coming back. Sam developed something of a complex when it came to the little girl - he still hasn't learnt how to control it. If the word 'cancer' is mentioned or someone asks him how Milly is, there's no stopping the fit of rage that comes on him.

Milly's birth also meant that Sam's 'condition' went by the wayside until he was sixteen. It was then discovered that what had once been classed as many different disorders was actually a mild case of Asperger's Syndrome. All the questions were answered, but considering he was never treated properly, it had been given time to manifest. It never really interfered with Sam's life too badly, but it was enough to pose him as 'different' and prevent him from having an entirely normal life.

He did excellently in high school, however, and his smarts meant that he had an option of many schools. Emerson was the only place he wanted to go, though. And so he went - reluctantly at first without his family coming with him - but he did it, and lived in the dorms alone for an entire year. This was the biggest step Sam had taken in his entire life.

Parker was, of course, well and truly aware of Wyatt’s potential. It was his potential that had the blonde here in the first place, the potential that invoked the push of soft lips against soft lips, his potential that happened to be the reason he hadn’t walked right back out the way he came again. Of course there were times when he wondered what he was doing and why he was here. It took a lot for a person to come out, and Parker supposed it was only his quiet, self-kept personality that allowed him to melt into the shadows enough to avoid constant, daily public humiliation. This wasn’t to say he didn’t suffer his fair share of taunts and torments.

Even a sleepy little coastal town like Capeside where everyone knew each other had its demons and this included bullies – people who didn’t like the way Parker was, or at least people who didn’t like the fact that he didn’t do more to hide it. But honestly, lying to himself and living in the closet in constant fear of what could happen seemed like a far worse fate than facing up to reality and having the courage to withstand what did happen. It wasn’t that he thought Wyatt was cowardly or that he wasn’t as brave as he should’ve been because Parker completely understood his desperate need for normalcy, but clambering back into the dark when he’d been in the light for so long wasn’t something he was willing to do.

When all of this started, things were okay. Feelings were completely removed and it was all about the rush of hormones and the release of those teenaged desires that everyone had at some point in their life. The fact that they were friends before the making out started, however, meant that it was too easy to become attached, and the line that used to be so thick and solid and obvious was now becoming blurred. This scared the hell out of Parker. It scared him because he could not and would not allow himself to fall for someone who was so intent on hiding their sexuality – the secrets that were involved with something like that were just too hard to handle.

He didn’t want to spend every single day making up excuses that might allow him to spend a scrap of time with Wyatt before his parents got home and it was back to being ‘just friends’. Parker’s parents accepted him, they were waiting for him to bring home a nice boy, they wanted to be a part of his life in every way possible and he couldn’t, he wouldn’t settle for a life of secrecy. How long would it go on? Would he ever be able to be himself again or would he be doomed to an impenetrable fortress of solitude for as long as he loved another individual?

At the same time, however, he was not going to ask Wyatt to come out for him. He wasn’t going to force someone into a decision that would make them unhappy just because he was miserable. If Wyatt wanted to continue the facade he’d spent so long perfecting, then Parker wasn’t going to stop him. It was his life and his burden to treat however he wanted to treat it. As much as he would miss the butterflies and the hand-holding in the dark when they both pretended to be asleep and the careful morning kisses when they got up after accidentally crashing together in Wyatt’s bed, Parker had to distance himself. He had to pull away now before he was in too deep, before he went head over heels and couldn’t get up again.

It was hard, of course, to detach himself from the kissing when all he really wanted to do was press closer and tangle hands in dark hair and stand here, just like this, for as long as Wyatt wanted to. He allowed it for a few moments, indulging in the delicacy and licking the soft flesh of Wyatt’s lower lip, breath coming fast and sharp from his nose, eyelids fluttering somewhere between open and closed. Eventually, however, he pulled back and propped himself against the counter, all red mouth and flushed cheeks and trembling fingertips like every other time this had ever happened.

Here Wyatt was. Confused. Confusing. Knowing nothing about what he wanted. And Parker couldn't do this.

“We can just play video games, if you want. Or I could go. I do have a lot of homework to catch up on. Reading to do, and stuff...” Distance. He needed to put distance between them. And this kitchen felt so damned small.
