Glee Postsecret Challenge: Part 4
Characters: Sam and Mercedes
Frank-N-Furter
Sam said he had never seen “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” before.
He lied.
Ever since he was a little kid, his parents would pop in their copy of the DVD the night before Halloween, and they’d sit down and watch it together. For most of the movie, Sam usually experienced a sense of confusion - he literally had no idea in hell as to what was going on. But as Sam got older, he started to understand more and more of the plot.
But as he aged, one thing never changed: His reaction to Tim Curry dressed in drag.
The glee club was yet again having a late night rehearsal for their production of Rocky Horror. Sam was wearing his teeny gold shorts - still worried about popping some nuttage at some point - and everyone else was wearing their costumes as well.
It wasn’t a dress rehearsal, but everyone really seemed to be getting into it.
Especially Mercedes.
And Sam had noticed. JEBUS, had he noticed her more than he had ever noticed anyone in his entire life.
As rehearsal wrapped, Sam uncomfortably squirmed in his seat - suddenly thankful for the mercifully tight constraint of the gold shorts.
Sam was the last to walk out of the auditorium and to the guys’ dressing room, and he changed in the privacy of one of the bathroom stalls.
Walking out of the school, Sam shook his unruly mop of hair to the right and out of his eyes. He saw Mercedes up ahead waving goodbye to Tina, Mike, and Artie. He quickly made up his mind.
Running up to Mercedes as she opened her car door, he said, “Hi Mercedes.”
“Hi Sam,” Mercedes replied with laughter in her voice.
“So I was wondering…” He trailed off, suddenly nervous. Mercedes was a diva, and that intimidated Sam.
“Yes?” she drawled the word out, waiting for his response with a cocked eyebrow and a diva-tilt to her hip.
“I was wondering if you’d maybe like to go out with me some time?” Sam asked, rushing the words out across his lips before he had time to swallow them whole.
Mercedes eyebrows shot skyward before she cocked her head and asked, “What, see something hot and sexy and dipped in chocolate up there on stage tonight that you just couldn’t get enough of?”
Sam’s grin engulfed his entire face. “You have no idea, Mercedes.” He leaned forward and kissed her cheek before walking backwards and away from the stunned girl. “No idea.”
