James and Sam met at a arcade bar, Sam was there originally to meet another person who had invited them out. Arriving they walked over to the person they were meeting and another guy who was playing a arcade game with him and they quietly watch as to not disturb them when the other guy, James, smiled at Sam and said "Oh hey there cutie, how are you doing?". From there they all played games and Sam got to know James and found that they just clicked, laughing at each others jokes to being competitive at the games they were playing.
