therapy - unforgettable (6)
Title: Unforgettable
Author: thegraduate09
Fandom: iCarly
Pairing: Sam/Freddie
Rating: M
Summary: He doesn't mean to go about it like this, like - well, like she would.
Author's Note:Part 6 of Therapy. Looks like there'll be one more, and then possibly some sort of sequel, I'm not sure.
The next week, they're asked - or at least he's asked, at his private session, Sam doesn't talk about hers - to make a list. One word to describe your partner, two things you feel you need to work on, four things you don't feel you need to work on. "Double your positive!" is the motto, the doctor gave him a poster for home but he doesn't dare hang it up.
The 2nd and 3rd questions are easy, if no attention is paid to his scratchouts.
2 Things to work on:
1. Communication (Obviously.)
2. Showing affection (in public) - he admits, this one's completely 50/50, it still seems weird to put his arm around her or to kiss her in front of people.
4 Things that are fine:
1. Sex. Showing affection (not in public.) (At least, he's happy with it.
2. Having each other's backs. (It was a milestone and a surprise when she took his side in a discussion over Carly's. Even if she worded it "sorry, cupcake, the nub's right.")
3. Knowing each other. (Too well. Applying the knowledge... Trickier. That's not an app he can get on his pearphone.)
4. Having separate activities; even if usually she's the one going out without home and he does get a little antsy, and not getting extremely jealous; except the one time she did.
The one word part is a lot more difficult. "Tough" isn't a compliment anymore, neither is "rough" - well, sometimes that is. "Un-Carly-like" had earned him a punch in the face after (and before, but that was just because she liked him bruised, no real connection) sex (she could be a lot more violent then). He really didn't mean it negatively. If he said pretty or beautiful, she'd call him a kiss-ass, those are compliments he can only say when he's holding her down or inside her or both, when he can keep her still and make her believe him. "Sexy" would win him a "perv," (and he'd rather not face the fact that he is) "sensual" isn't a fit, she's too in-your-face for that. "Eternal" is too poetic and sappy, and what if that's not what she wants?
