"iLove Sleeping"

FanFic by: KeyLimePie14

Freddie grumbled and sat up on his bed, running his hands through his tousled, brown hair. He sighed and placed his head in his hands. It was the second week in a row that he hadn't been able to sleep. From past nights he knew that he wasn't getting to sleep anytime soon, either. He would drift off to sleep about four just to be rudely awakened by his mother two hours later telling him it was time for school. Freddie didn't even understand where this bout of insomnia had come from. All he knew was he had to find a way to fix it.

After about an hour of surfing the web on his laptop, Freddie leaned back in his chair and sighed. He looked at the clock; it flashed two-thirty. Freddie rubbed his eyes and shut the lid to his computer. He paced around his room trying to figure out a method to get himself to sleep. After a few minutes he stopped in his tracks; he remembered what a certain blond had told him hours ago, before she had walked into her own apartment. Hadn't she said that her mom was out of town for the weekend? Freddie slowly smiled. This was perfect.

Freddie tiptoed out of his room, being careful so as not to wake his mot- Oh, right, Freddie thought, Mom's out of town. Freddie smiled to himself; that meant he didn't have to worry about getting home so fast. Freddie made sure he had his key and quietly slipped out of his apartment. He looked at the apartment door across the hall from his. He wondered if the girl he was looking for was in there or in her own place. Freddie decided he would try her apartment before knocking on his brunette friend's door. He knew how freaked out Spencer could get when he was half asleep.

Freddie walked a couple of steps down the hallway; he was beaming, but he didn't know why he was so happy. Lack of sleep, His brain told him. He raised his fist up to knock on her door. As he did this he remembered the day she moved in.

Her mother had landed a pretty high paying job and decided it was time to move on with her life. So Sam talked her into moving in the apartment that had just become vacant right down the hall from Carly's and right beside his. Her mom obviously agreed.

Freddie sighed as realization hit him. She had moved in two weeks ago, and that was when his insomnia started. Freddie ran a nervous, shaking hand through his hair. He realized that the reason he probably wasn't sleeping was because of her. Because he knew she went to sleep a few feet away from him each night. And that the only thing separating them from each other was a thin wall.

He knocked once more and leaned casually against the door frame. Although inside he felt anything but casual. His heartbeat quickened in his chest as he heard rustling from behind the door. Then, not even a mere two seconds later, the door swung open and a disgruntled Sam stood there. She wasn't wearing much, and Freddie was quick to notice this. She wore an oversized tee that he strangely recognized as his own… Though he had no idea how she had gotten a hold of it, and no pants. Freddie's eyes raked her body up and down. He drank in the smoothness of her long, slender legs, right up to where the shirt hung just above her knee. Then he looked at her face; she was using one fist to rub her eye, her hair was tangled from sleep, but yet, Freddie couldn't help but think she was the most beautiful that he had ever seen her. She dropped her hand and blinked a few times, trying to gain focus. When she saw who was leaning against her doorway with a smirk on his face, no less, she scowled. Why would Freddie Benson be standing at her door at two thirty in the morning? It was beyond her, but she didn't really care. She just wanted to go back to sleep.

"Fredwiener, what do you want?" She barked at him; she shifted on her feet and rested one hand on her hip, still scowling at him. Freddie's smirk just got bigger. He took a step forward and was suddenly inside her apartment. Sam blinked; since when did Freddie get so bold?

"I couldn't sleep." He answered simply. He shut the door behind him and went over to stand in the middle of the room.

"So?" She questioned, running a hand through her messy blonde curls. "Why are you here? I was sleeping. S-L-E-E-P-I-N-G, Benson. That's usually what most people do at this hour." She told him as she turned and went to the kitchen to get herself something to drink. Freddie sighed.

"I haven't been able to sleep lately." He confessed glumly. Sam had noticed. Lately Freddie was just a bit more irritable than before and his face had sunken in a little. He had bags under his eyes, but yet, he was still smiling. Sam drank her water and came over to sit beside him on the couch. Sam was fighting an internal battle; one that she didn't even know what it was for. She looked over at her friend curiously. In the past few years Freddie had really grown up.

His jaw bone was now the chiseled one of a man, he had grown quite a few inches and he now towered over Sam. His style had majorly improved as well, though at this moment Freddie wasn't wearing much. All he had on was a pair of pajama pants. Sam couldn't help but notice how strong he looked. She felt a blush creep up her cheeks as she glanced down at her own attire. She had forgotten that she had pulled her pants off in the night because she got sweaty. She wanted to pretend Freddie hadn't noticed, though she knew that was a lie. She had noticed how his eyes raked her body.

Freddie took his eyes from the television to look over at Sam. Freddie thought he was going insane, but he swore there was a crimson tint on her cheeks. He smiled. She gave him a weird look.

"What?" She questioned, the crimson becoming embedded in her cheeks. Freddie smiled again; it was time to taunt her, he thought. Freddie scooted a little bit closer to her on the couch and leaned in to whisper in her ear.

"What are you thinking about?" He asked, making her squirm. Freddie never thought it would be possible, but here he was, sitting beside Sam on the couch and he was making her uncomfortable. He made Samantha Puckett squirm in her own house. He couldn't help but feel a little proud of himself.

Sam's eyes darted to his and then back down. "I-, uh," She stammered. This only caused Freddie's smile to grow on his face. She closed her eyes for a moment and took a deep breath. Then she looked at Freddie with daggers. "What do you even care?!" She semi-shouted at him. Freddie jumped back at her sudden outburst.

Freddie maintained his position next to her on the couch however. He looked at her, taking her in. Her face was even redder, though this time it was out of anger, and her icy blue eyes had hardened. Freddie grinned at the effect he had on her. Any other night he would have been scared out of his mind from her reaction, but tonight he had a strange sense of confidence and stayed put. After all he had just witnessed her walls go down, even if just for a moment, and had seen a flash of vulnerability in her eyes. It was strange that when she had glanced at him a moment before that the strange softness in her eyes had made his heart jump. What was wrong with him? He wondered.

Freddie stayed calm.

"I was only trying to make conversation." He replied sweetly. Sam glared.

"I wish you weren't even here." She hissed through clenched teeth. Freddie sat back and smiled; he loved what he was doing to her.

"You don't mean that." He pretended to pout. Sam crossed her arms and turned her torso away from him.

"Leave me alone." She whispered as she leaned against the couch. "I'm going back to sleep, so I don't care what you do. Just don't let the door hit you too hard on the way out." She mumbled as she curled into a ball. Freddie dared to scoot closer to her. He reached his arms out and held her.

"I'm not leaving." He whispered into her ear. She shivered slightly, but made no attempt to move away from his embrace. He grinned.

This night was going to be fun, he thought.
