He took the time away from Kenny to re-evaluate his status as a person in what seemed to be pretty good company. She was so cute and bubbly and he...wasn't. He didn't really know how to handle people like her. He was used to Alex and Alex was most decidedly not Kenny.
When he finally got the hot chocolates, he looked around to find Kenny and found her sitting near the window. "Fuck, she's gorgeous. Okay, just let all of it out now so I don't sound like a freak later. So cute. That hair looks so silky and she looks so good in my jacket, what even that's just unfair. Okay. Done. Let's be human, Harper." He cleared his throat and joined Kenny.
He nodded as he sat down, a smile creeping on his face. "Yeah for sure. They don't put as much marshmallow as I would like but they're quite decent." He offered, thankful that he was doing well so far. "You were from...Louisiana you say? How was that like?" He asked.

Kenny might have thought that it was wild they had never met before but Sam had spent almost an entirety of his time in Bellefonte secluded in his room. He appreciated that she didn't think the Disney reference was as lame as he had initially thought. Well...she didn't say anything that constituted a lie so he supposed she probably did think it was.
The paranoia that came with his superpowers had to be one of the worst side effects his powers had given him.
"Well...it wasn't so wild. I kinda cooped myself up in my room for the majority of the time we were in Montana. And...a little bit when we moved out here." He grimaced. They arrived at the cafeteria and he turned to her. "I'll go and get us the hot chocolates, you choose us a seat?" He smiled at her, glad that his companion didn't make it any worst for him in the truth department so far.

Alex would have a field day with this. Sweet would never be an adjective she used for him and for a brief moment, he laughed lightly. Clearing his throat, he smiled at Kenny when she accepted the offer.
He hadn't expected her to take his hand but when she did, he didn't pull away. She hadn't lied so far so he wasn't going berserk about that. This was fine. He was fine. How he wished Alex would be here to coach him.
Wow...he needed help and it shouldn't be coming from his twin.
He turned to her and laughed. "I might as well be. I've been here three years and before that I was in Montana since I was fourteen. Cold never bothered me anyway." He chuckled before rolling his eyes at how lame that must have sounded.
"It's really not that hard to pack snowballs. I'll definitely teach you later." Wow he needed to stop talking before the girl thought he was a creeper weirdo. It's unfortunate that he didn't have a filter. Superpowers his ass.

As she chattered away, Sam couldn't help but grimace as he realised that a) she was now drenched and  she was ridiculously cute. He had just drenched a grade A cutie.
He also realised he was staring when he only heard the tail end of her asking his name. "Oh crap." He took off his jacket and handed it over to her so she could warm herself up. "Best if you take your coat off. You'll warm up quicker." He said before scratching the back of his neck.
"Um...Sam. I'm Sam. Um...hot chocolate? Cafeteria's warm."
This was why he didn't interact with people outside of Alex.

When Alex pulled away, Sam laughed in her face as he shrugged. "We've been together for the past...twenty-three years. In what shape or form have I ever done anything that you like or love? Oh and to that point, how many fucks have I ever given?"
He tapped the side of his head with a knowing smirk.
"Okay fuck this, let's go to the arcade. I hear they're bringing back an old Pac-Man machine. Let's go!"

Of all the people Sam had been exposed to in his life, the only one he could honestly say he couldn't live without was Alex. She was his twin, she was literally his other half. Say what you will about co-dependency, Sam needed Alex in his life. She was a big part of the reason why he was still alive now.
"Empty threats." Sam snorted, even though he heard no tell tale signs of a lie in that sentence. So he loosened his hold on her and his smile softened when his twin hugged him. He wrapped his arms around her thin frame and squeezed.
"Fuck off, numb nuts." He responded just as quietly.

Hearing her reaction had Sam laughing, her response even more. "Just give u-" before he could finish his sentence, he was pelted with a cloud of snow in his face.
Spitting out the snow from his mouth, he crept closer to the girl and unpacked the snowballs from his pocket so they crumbled before he dunked it over her in her hiding spot.
"Victory is mine!" He exclaimed, holding up two fists and pumping it up in the air.

Having packed a few of the snowballs in his parka, Sam ran behind a tree and saw someone approaching the girl he had hit, a snowball in their hand ready to strike. He laughed and wound an arm back before throwing one snowball in their direction. Unfortunately, they saw him coming and froze the snowball in place.
"Ugh! No powers! No powers!" Sam yelled out before running off so he wouldn't be in the line of fire from them. He heard their laughter fade before he looked around for the girl who had hit him before.
"You're gonna have to surrender or there will be consequences!" He called out before finally seeing her behind the bush. He grabbed another snowball and sent it flying in her direction. "Still alive?"

Sam jerked his head back when he was honked in the nose. The fact that Alex actually made the sound made him laugh. "You're an idiot." He said affectionately. She may be the Devil's spawn but she was his Devil's spawn.
He made a face but ultimately, he understood where Alex was going. It was a tired argument he had but it was always on the forefront of his mind. And he couldn't help that it always surfaced.
"And I'm the only one who will understand your shitty self." He shrugged before locking Alex's neck in his arms and giving her a sharp noogie.

When Sam saw the people having a snowball fight, he hesitated for about five minutes before getting ready and joining them. For once, he didn't have to worry about people lying. They were all having fun and he was joining in on it.
Sad as it may be, this wasn't a regular occurrence in the twenty-three year old's life so he took advantage of it.
In the middle of it, he hit an innocent passerby by accident and froze. The girl ducked behind a bush and he winced. He held a hand up and grimaced. "Sor-" he started just before the snowball hit him right in the forehead. "Shit!" He exclaimed with a laugh before finding a spot to hide and gathering as much snow one hand could fit before throwing it haphazardly in the general direction of the girl.

Sam simply laughed at Alex's response. He often wondered what people thought of their relationship but this right here, it couldn't get any better.
Once he let go of the trolley, Sam jogged over to where Alex was headed and threw his arms up like she did. "I know right? Those weekends at the gym are finally paying off!" He flexed his arms and made funny faces at Alex.
"Ah jeez...I came out of my room to be around people but I'm just playing trolley plane with my twin in an empty parking lot." He sighed, running his fingers through his hair. "I'm twenty-three years old and I'm still afraid of going near people. What am I doing with my life?"

"Lex. We talked about this. If you can't think of your own insults, you cannot mooch off me. How will society thrive with moochers like you?" Sam asked with an exaggerated sigh. "Think of the people, Alex!"
As Alex climbed into the trolley, Sam grinned at her stance. He made some sound effects and pretended to talk into a speaker. "Ladies and gentlemen this is your captain speaking. Prepare for lift off." He gripped the handlebars and started pushing slowly to the corner of the parking lot and turned, much like an airplane would on the landing strip. Then, he took off at full speed before letting her go.
"Don't die!" He called out to her.

"Hey, don't knock your future career." Sam shook his head and gave her a shit-eating grin. He rolled his shoulders when it cramped up a little from the strain of forcing himself to stay still.
Once they were outside, Sam could breathe again and having Alex's hand on his cheek calmed him. Much as he thought she was a brat, having Alex around was a boon to his health and well being in general. He laughed at her response and stood there, taking in the cool air and revelling in the fact that no one was currently lying.
When he heard the video playing through the glass, Sam turned to look at the guy as he scrambled to switch off his tablet but to no avail. The music and sounds were still playing. He tugged at Alex's hand and chuckled. "I love you." He said over his shoulder and walked towards an abandoned parking lot.
"I should have asked you to meet me here." He said before letting Alex's hand go. He instantly felt the chill but he ignored it as he grabbed a shopping cart in the corner. He tested it out and turned to Alex. "M'lady, your chariot awaits." He presented the shopping cart with flourish.

Giving Alex an incredulous look before pursing his lips in amusement, Sam cooed at Alex. "You think I'm cute enough to get a sugar mama? Lex, your heart is showing, we don't wanna give people the wrong idea."
He grimaced when Alex tried her best to make him feel better. At least he wasn't getting heart palpitations from her words. "It's sweet that you're trying, Lex." He rubbed his eyes and glared at the man who had been lying to whoever he was talking to for the past ten minutes. "Fuck..." he pushed against his chair, making it scrape the floor loudly. "Let's get out of here."
He laced his fingers through Alex's and yanked her up, pulling her with him out of the shop. "You tell your friend the truth, you fucking dink!" He yelled at the man just as they exited the shop.
Once they were outside, Sam gasped and clutched the side of his head. "Stupid fucking liars." He glared at the man as he stalked past him. He turned to Alex and grinned sheepishly. "Sorry, I didn't mean to pull too hard." He paused and looked into the shop and then back at Alex. "It'd be bad if you made porn start playing on his tablet, right?"

Sam rolled his eyes at Alex's defensive stance. He grunted his response before taking a sip of his drink, knowing full well that Alex was assessing his every twitch. He'd even put his phone on airplane mode just so she wouldn't have to deal with whatever fresh Hell he'd looked up on on his phone prior to her arrival.
When his twin mentioned his insides, Sam groaned and put his face in one hand, while the other received her pinkie. "Too much. I don't know whether to be grateful or call bullshit on cooping myself up for so long." He rubbed his face tiredly and looked at Alex. "I fucking hate being a mutant. I take back all those times I thought Wolverine was the epitome of awesome." He pressed the heel of his palm against his browbone and sighed.
Tugging at their joined little finger, he looked down at his coffee. "At least yours is useful, you know? I know, I know, I've said this every single time we see each other but deal with it. I'm gonna be complaining about this forever."
