Chapter 7

He trudged over to the kitchen and found the bottle of wine sitting on the island where he had left it, and he unceremoniously twisted out the cork by bracing it between his thighs. He decided not to bother getting a glass and took a swig directly from the bottle instead, grimacing at the bitter taste. He wasn't really a wine drinker, but now

Yay! Another chapter! Eric's such a basket case, but Sam just keeps easing him along....

I've got to find that movie! :::grumble::: Meanwhile, looking forward to the next installment....

The movie is cute but it doesn't focus on the guys' relationship; it's about the two of them taking in the son of Billy's ex. But that of course just made me want to make up a back story, and Sam is the fairly calm/rational one while Eric is still a bit high strung.

Thanks for being my first (and possibly only, haha) reader!

I know you've said there isn't an actual fandom for Eric/Sam (I did a small search myself and came up with individual stories but no fandom either) but have you thought about sharing these lovely stories on smallfandom_nb or something similar? Just wondering....

[unavez18]

Thanks, I'll give that a try :)

I love how well you connect this story of the past with the movie. I really feel like it's the actual events that took place. (Which is awesome 'cause every time I watch this movie I'm dying for more.)

Especially like how you explained the wine-somehow knowing exactly when he was stressed from work and silently hand off a single glass of wine to calm his nerves.

I'm so into this story; it's great. :D ♥

Oh, I'm so excited that you noticed the wine reference! Thanks for reading and commenting!

Loved the wine reference. In the film, I thought Eric was pouring it for himself, and I thought that was weird since he usually had beer. But he'd poured it for Sam, which I thought was sweet.

One of the few moments we get to see of him doing anything nice for Sam . . .I mean, we know Sam's the neat one, the one that does the laundry, the one that does the shopping . . . what does Eric bring to the table? heheh.

BTW, I'm skimming these as you're reading and I'm sorta cringing . . . I didn't have a beta, but I'm working with one for a original fic, and she's pointed out so many things to me . . . I'll have to rewrite this someday :P

[storyfan]

No cringing allowed. It's so hard to write for a tiny fandom. A beta can help with grammar and such, but unless he/she is familiar with the characters, then it's kind of pointless.

You're doing just fine; don't worry.
