PAIRING: teen dad!sam monroe

FLUFF ❦

Sam hated this. The daycare, to be exact. The fluorescent lights. The sound of a hundred tiny voices screeching at once.

He moved fast since his ears caught the sharp music of the school's bell ring. It only took him minutes to finally go through the day-care's door building. Power-walking through the hallway, he had his hoodie up with hands shoved in his pockets, trying to find and squeeze himself out of people's way to Vinnie's 'classroom' before some overly enthusiastic daycare worker would try to make eye contact with him.

“Thammy!”

His head snapped up just in time to see Vinnie wobbling towards him, little arms already wide open, cheeks rosy from running around all day and giggling his little lungs out.

Sam quickly composed himself and kneeled, scooping up the toddler by his armpits. “Hey, dude.” He eyes the toddler, noticing the glitter on his chubby hands. “What the hell happened to you?”

Vinnie gibbered excitedly, half-English, half-baby talk Sam had no idea of, before wiggling in Sam’s hold. He clearly was thrilled about something, and Sam’s about to ask what—

Then he hears them.

“—Oh! That must be him!”

Sam stiffened.

Slowly, he turns his head. And here they are. His nightmare, his hell on earth - other, too extravert, parents. Thankfully there were only two of them. Both well-dressed, smiling, suspiciously normal. A woman in a beige coat clutched a tiny backpack, and next to her, a man in dad sneakers was adjusting his daughter’s pink hat. Both of them were looking directly at Sam.

He hated this even more.

The woman stepped forward, beaming. “You must be Vinnie’s brother!”

Sam blinked.

…his what?

“Oh, Carter talks about him all the time,” the dad chimed in, grinning at Vinnie as he patted his daughter’s head. “They played together today, isn’t that right, sweetheart?” The little girl—Carter, apparently—nodded shyly, peeking at Vinnie from behind her dad’s leg.

Vinnie, on the other hand, waved his tiny glitter-covered hand. GIGGLING. Sam cleared his throat, adjusting him on his hip. “Uh. I’m—”

“Oh, you two look so alike!” the woman gushed, continuing her abnormal talk. “Same eyes, same hair—”

“Yeah, that’s—”

“It’s so sweet of you to pick him up every day! You must be such a helpful big brother.”

…Okay, that’s enough.

Sam inhaled sharply, trying not to physically combust. “Yeah, uh—not his brother.”

Both parents blink in utter confusion.“Oh?”

“I’m his dad.”

Silence.

The couple stared.

Sam stared back while vinnie, oblivious to the tension, happily smacked his chubby hand against Sam’s face, leaving a handprint of glitter in it's awake.

Finally, the dad was brave enough to clear his throat and stop this judgmental, weird silence. “Oh! Oh. Wow. I—” He laughed awkwardly. “That’s… that’s great!”

The woman, still processing, looked at her husband in, what Sam read was, confusion before she plastered on a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes. “Oh, well! That’s wonderful. We just assumed, because, well… you’re so young, and—”

Sam mentally checked out. Turning his back to the couple, he rolled his eyes at them. Ugh, he should have just sent his mom to pick up vinnie. He wouldn't have to deal with this shit. Sam crouched down, carefully shoving Vinnie’s feet into tiny sneakers, nodding along as the woman kept nervously rambling.

“—but that’s amazing! Really! You must be very mature for your age.”

Sam snorted. Yeah, sure. That’s one way to put it.

Finally, Vinnie was dressed. Sam, grabbing Vinnie's little backpack, scooped him up right back, nodding once and for the last time. “Cool. Well. We’re gonna go.”

“Oh! Of course!” The dad nodded quickly. “Nice to meet you!”

The woman waved enthusiastically at Vinnie. “Bye, sweetheart!”

Vinnie only clapped his little hands in response. Giggles leaving his wide opened mouth while Sam just walked away. Fast. Faster than he should have probably. The second he stepped outside, he let out a long, exhausted breath, as if he was holding inside his lungs all the air from the situation.

“Dude.” He shook his head. “I’m never doing that again.”

Vinnie just leaned against his shoulder, content as ever, to which Sam rolled his eyes. “Glad one of us had a good time.”
