   Summary

   "Wait, y-y-you said yes!?"

    

   Despite the onlookers of Leigh and Joel- maybe Sam had been a bit too willing to share a kiss with someone, even if this specific someone wasn't human anymore.
   He hardly hesitated, though tried not to sound enthusiastic.

   He had surprised even himself when he said yes.
   And again, later, after returning the photo that Sam had wanted developed-

    

   "Another kiss?! P-Please?"
