[ i'm gonna fastforward this fam —

CUT TO TWENTY MINUTES LATER, after they've finished foraging around the lagoon area for things to take back to their brocave, lance has begun to assemble their pseudo campfire... he's not a legit boyscout (he quit before he could complete all of his badges, because he got bored) but he remembers enough to know how to get a fire started with some rocks... ]

Nice, nice. [ he's looking over a small spark like it's some freaking explosion. ] This'll do nicely!

[emblazes]

[Keith's managed to create a comfy place to rest; giant leaves from treetops make for a nice makeshift...not even mattress, but a buffer. Beneath that is a layer of whatever bullshit he could gather; foliage, primarily, hold the twigs. Just more fodder to make resting a bit easier.]

Huh?

[Color him impressed if Lance's already sparked a fire. He glances over, rises from his spot (just tucking the last handful of grassy shit under their Jurassic bed) and moseys over.

Looks like.....smoke. Hm.]

[competing]

[ it's a tiny lil flame... but lance has crawled down to all fours and is currently blowing attentively at it, encouraging that lil flame to grow.

it does, albeit after taking its sweet time. by the time lance is leaning back up, he's a little out of breath. ]

See...? T..Told you I could do it...

[emblazes]

[He'll squat down to his side, impressed and amused...ah...Lance raising a tiny flame...why's that endearing. This is about survival, okay. Serious stuff. Life and death.]

I never said you couldn't.

[While patting his back, as if it'd help him catch his breath.]

Good job.

[competing]

[ eheh. lance kind of just puffs up in pride at that. this boy's constantly thirsty for validation, so any kind already gets him feeling ten kinds of giddy, but somehow hearing it come from keith makes him feel ten times happier than that and that's like. a bajillion times, basically. ]

Thanks.

[ he glances behind keith, mostly so he doesn't keep giving the other boy his doofy gaga eyes. spots the... single bed. ah yes. he clears his throat a little. it's not like they hadn't already shared a bed before, but this is definitely the first time they're going to do it after kissing... and essentially admitting they liked each other, without actually saying they liked each other.

right, right... don't be such a hypocrite, lance. time to man up. ]

So, uh. I'm pretty sure I have a crush on this guy... You might have heard of him...

[ heh heh ]

[emblazes]

[Shiro would've been better at that...if only Shiro were here...

Keith's totally unbothered by that; he also hasn't really thought of it as bedsharing. They're camping. Everyone sleeps together when they're camping.]

..Huh-?

[Don't toy with him like this..........................................]

What are you talking about?

[His hand goes still, curls into a fist at his back. Careful, lady.]

[competing]

[ gtf away from me ]

[competing]

[ he's not toying! he's being cute! and clever!

sadly, not clever enough to realize keith isn't enjoying this particular line of "hypothetical" talk... ]

Yeah, he's real great. We didn't start off on the best foot, but through time, y'know... we kinda learned to work real great together. [ y'know. a good team. ] And I think maybe he likes me too...

[ heh! ]

[...........................]

[emblazes]

[..............

Oh! That sounds like, uh, them. There's a belated smile, a little shove like, girl stop playin' and he's standing up.]

We'll have to see about that.

[He literally thought Lance was breaking up with him..knave ass whore.]

[competing]

[ lance doesn't realize how close he just came to death right now.

he scrambles up to his feet, following after keith like a dumb little puppy. ]

Why — did you hear something??

[ YOU CAN'T JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT... don't funk with his heart... ]

[emblazes]

[He's just en route to their super sexy California King. He stops though, presses a finger in between his brows...]

Yeah, a weird story. It reminded me of the time I should've left you handcuffed.

[What is this, a recap episode?! P:<]

[competing]

[ hmph. now he's pouting. say you like him back, you boob! ]

Why, was that when you realized how much you wanted to be with me?

[emblazes]

[Premature...]

That's when I realized you were gonna be a handful.

[competing]

[ wrong thread ]

You're the handful!

[emblazes]

[His brows lift high on his forehead...but there's no denying that. Different kinda handful, but...hm.]

So?

[competing]

So..!

[ he deflates a bit. he got nothing. he just didn't want to lose. ]

So... nothing. Just. You are. So there.

[ hmph. ]

Good job on the bed.

[ man. datng is hard. ]

[emblazes]

...Thanks.

[Though it won't retain warmth. Are they using rocks for the fire? Those might be good to have nearby...as a lil heating pad.]

There wasn't anything we could use for blankets though.

[Unless Lance wants him to ambush an alien deer and skin it....hm.]

[competing]

[ lance just stares down at the pile of leaves, hands on his hips. ]

I guess we'll just... have to keep each other warm...

[emblazes]

Yeah.

[It's an easy thing to agree with, even though it's....weird...their first night as a married couple and they gotta snuggle in swim trunks. He's not...sure if it'll be enough, but beggars can't be choosers, hm.

At least they've got fire..!!]

...Are you hungry?

[competing]

[ look.. it's better than their shoddy tent from before okay. what truly started this all. ]

—we have food?

[ he looks to keith like the thought had never occurred to him before. ]

[emblazes]

No.

[See, Lance was right in not thinking of it, since they do not have any, however..]

But I can go get some.

[He's gonna murder something endangered.]

[competing]

[ see lance is thinking like. berries and nuts and junk. keith why are you like this. ]

Oh. I guess if you don't mind...? I can come with you if you like.
