Library [10/23]

Sam was in the library a little early today, making a list of all the things he wanted to talk about with Missouri when she visited for the weekend. Whether or not she thought he'd be dying at the hands of Angela Petrelli in the future was not on the list, but the closer the weekend got, the more he wondered if it should be.

Sam's reaction was to stare a little and wonder if his answer was the right one. "Yeah, I do," he said, nodding.

"You're in trouble," Nathan told him.

"Why?" Sam asked, more worried now. "Should I say that I don't?"

"I'm not talking about what you say," Nathan told him. "Just that if you're in love with Peter you are not picking the easy way out of - well anything."

"Yeah, well, I like a challenge," Sam replied. "And I think Peter's worth the effort. Plus, I figure you could use the help in keeping him out of trouble."

"I'm not sure anything could keep him out of trouble," Nathan said. "Least of all a relationship. But think long and hard about whether you're going to sign up for that ride. I'm not saying I'd blame you for deciding it's easier to go back to girls, but so help me if you do it after encouraging him to think you won't."

"I won't," Sam said, getting more serious. "I love Peter, and it might not seem like it, but being with him isn't really all that hard. It was harder to not be with him when I wanted to be."

"You haven't known him as long as I have," Nathan pointed out.

"True. But I still don't think I'm making a mistake. I've known Peter long enough to have an idea of what I'm getting into," Sam said.

"If you say so," Nathan told him. In which case, God help you remained unspoken.

"Do you have any advice?" Sam asked, not wanting to waste the resource of Nathan while he had him here. "About Peter or your mother?"

"Pete doesn't do anything halfway," Nathan said. "You'll find that's a blessing and a curse. As for Ma - head for the hills. Barring that she may like that you're interested in law."

"I don't think Peter would appreciate me leaving for the weekend," Sam said. "I'll make sure I sound as responsible as possible if the need arises."

"You might be in luck," Nathan told him. "She does go soft on him."

Not that Nathan was bitter.

"He's convinced she'll be okay with finding out about us," Sam said, like he didn't believe that for a second.

"He would be," Nathan replied.

"It's kind of endearing, to see him be positive all the time, but it makes me wonder if there's anything that can be done to give him some sense."

"Better men than you have tried," Nathan told Sam. "I'm pretty sure it's in his DNA."

"You got all the common sense genes?" Sam asked, not exactly sucking up.

"All the brains too," Nathan agreed. He approved of any attempts to suck up.

"And the willingness to read books and do homework," Sam said. Not that it bothered him, but it was an observation.

"He's the dreamer," Nathan said. "He could apply himself, though. He just doesn't want to."

"Maybe I could work on that," Sam said. "I could at least try."

"Good luck," Nathan told him.

"Thanks," Sam said. "I think I might need it."
