Chapter 2
aaron manages to avoid kevin for exactly 48 hours.
he probably would’ve been able to last longer ; however he did not account for the foxes’ bi-weekly trip.
every fortnight the foxes along with bee,stuart,stephanie walker, wymack,abby,randy boyd and mr&mrs klose would go on a camping trip. it had become a tradition after wymack decided the foxes needed to ‘bond’ (they hated each other at first. with the monsters being totally indifferent to the upperclassmen) and drove them off to a camping site in Columbia.somehow,nicky had even gotten coach to let erik tag along.of course, most of their parents had worried and tagged along. the trip had actually been pretty fun,and since then, aaron had never missed a single trip.now,he was seriously considering it. but there was no way andrew would let him skip out over something as petty as avoiding kevin.
he’d skipped practice, avoided all texts and calls, and even gone out of his way to ignore kevin in class. and yet, that was all for nothing. because right now aaron was standing in front of kevin’s front door with his twin brother and adoptive mum.
“you’re late” coach scowled as soon as he opened the door “ we’ve all been waiting for you”
“ sorry david, these two got into a fight over who’s hat is who’s”
aaron and andrew both scoffed. bee had bought them both matching hats in the summer and aaron could’ve sworn that his was one that was dark grey on the inside and andrew’s was the dark blue. they’d gotten into an argument over it ; andrew insisted his eidetic memory meant he was right, aaron bit back that even if he knew that right answer,it didn’t mean he wasn’t lying to get what he wanted. andrew was furious at the accusation that he would ever lie ,but before the fight could escalate bee arrived and kindly asked one of them to compromise. aaron only did so as an apology for accusing andrew of lying to him , which apparently andrew didn’t fail to notice- since they were back to normal halfway through their walk to kevin’s house)
wymack just shook his head, then looked down at the boys. particularly aaron
“ you haven’t been at practice” he accused
“ great observation,coach” aaron hummed , ducking under david’s arm and entering the house. he heard bee laugh and suggest they start loading the camping gear into coach’s minibus while waiting for the others. they kept all the supplies at coach and abby’s, since they had the mini bus ( which only had 16 seats, so the klose’s and nicky took their car)
“aaron !” kevin’s voice called out to him from the top of the stair case. he was wearing a forest green sweater ( just a few shades darker than his eyes. aaron couldn’t see them from here of course, but he had the exact shade stamped somewhere into his mind) and black ripped jeans. his hair was messier than usual, and aaron couldn’t help but melt at the sight of it.
before aaron could turn away, kevin had already reached the bottom of the stairs, pulling him into a tight hug
“ i am so sorry about thursday. i never meant to make you uncomfortable, and i promise it won’t happen again ! just please stop avoiding me “ he whined “ yesterday was the worst day of my life ! i can’t stand school without you ! even practice sucked. practice !” he crushed aaron a little tighter. knocking the breath out of him. his absence had upset kevin even during practice?? kevin had felt sad on the exy court?? holy shit.
“i....” aaron squeaked “ let go, you’re crushing me!”
“ right, right. sorry” kevin said sheepishly, letting go.
before aaron could say anything else to him, kevin’s gaze turned to the door. aaron’s eyes followed him, to where andrew was watching them silently and with amuses disregard. ah shit.
“ finished your reunion? ‘vin, go help load the shit into the bus. bee’s shoulder hurts so i don’t want her doing it. now scram” he made a shooing motion at kevin.
kevin scowled “ you could do it yourself, minyard”
andrew looked at his nails boredly “ correct. but you have not accounted for the fact that i am lazy. now leave me be, i need to discuss important business with my dear brother” he said dramatically, leaning against the door frame.
kevin just sighed and rolled his eyes. he turned to aaron, gaze softening as he looked down at him. “ sit next to me in the coach?” he murmured, squeezing the sides of aaron’s shoulders.
aaron nodded weakly, too entranced by the gentle look on kevin’s face to even process what he was saying. he was just so pretty
kevin beamed at that “ thanks” he hesitated before timidly saying “ i’ve missed you, ronnie”
andrew fake gagged “ yeah yeah, we get it. you can’t live without his ass because you’re a useless lil’ shit. now get out, day”
“ this is my corridor!”
“ i’ll stab you”
“ whatever you say “ he snorted. before he left,he tucked a stray strand of blond hair behind aaron’s hair, giving him a meaningful look before walking out the door. leaving aaron staring at him like a lovesick puppy.
andrew snorted and walked over to him. aaron could hear stuart happily greeting bee and wymack, so he knew it was only a few minutes before neil barged in.
“ what did you want to tell me?”
andrew stepper closer to him “you’re whipped” he flicked his forehead.
aaron swore “ fuck you you fucker!”
andrew laughed “ what an extensive vocabulary you have there”
“ i hate you” he grumbled, rubbing his forehead “ you still haven’t told me what you wanted to talk about”
andrew stares at him like he was stupid. when aaron didn’t catch on, he shook his head like he was personally offended by aaron’s existence
“ i did. i told you, you’re whipped”
aaron blinked at him “ is that it?”
“ yes”
“ i hate you”
“ i hate me too”
“ i hate both of you!” neil chimed in from the open doorway “ aaron, you little bitch. why weren’t you at practice?”
aaron rolled his eyes “ i decided to quit and join the football team”
“ sounds fake but ok, whatever you say bitcheth”
andrew groaned “ someone take away his internet privileges”
“ hey!”
aaron let them continue bickering. he slipped away. he greeted the foxes as they arrived, making eye contact with kevin as he lifted bags into the coach.
“you know, you could just ask him out”
aaron turned around to see allison standing beside him, eyebrows raised judgementally.
the weather was pretty shitty, which usually meant aaron’s fashion sense was shitty too. allison however, was dressed both appropriately for the weather and fashionable enough to make you think she was attending a camping themed photo shoot rather than an actual camping trip. her face was bare, which wasn’t really a surprise since allison rarely wore make up for their trips, and her hair was loose with two front pieces pulled back in loose braids. she was wearing a designer turtleneck sweater,paired with a chunky belt to show off her waist and black leggings.
“ why would i do that?” he scowled
“ because you’re in love with him?”
“ i hate him”
“ we both know that means ‘love’ in minyard language. you might as well have just admitted you want to marry him and have his babies” she snorted.
aaron couldn’t help but laugh too. allison was a bitch sometimes ; but she was funny too. “ that’d be a serious breach in biology “
“ gays are more powerful than biology, monster”
“ as a biologist i’m offended” he scoffed
“ and as a gay?”
aaron bit his lip. was he gay? or maybe bi? he had no idea, really. he just knew he was really into kevin.
“ shut up”
apparently that was all the answer allison needed ; she smirked at him knowingly then walked off to renee, muttering about ‘idiot boys’ as she did.
once everyone had arrived, they started to pile into the bus. again, the seating arrangement was fixed. from the front of the bus to the back it went :
stuart , abby , wymack (driving)
bee & stephanie | randy
renee & allison | dan
kevin & aaron | matt
neil & andrew | [spare seat]
“andrew” aaron caught his wrist “ can kev and i sit in the back?”
andrew just raised an eyebrow, a smirk tugged at neil’s lips
“ shut up josten” aaron scowled upon seeing it.
“ what do we say ‘drew? i mean he’s being mean to me soooo”
“hm. what’s in it for me?” andrew asked aaron boredly
“ what do you want?”
“ i want nothing”
“ what if i buy you ice cream ?”
“ sufficient. get in before i change my mind”
aaron got in quickly, taking the window seat. he saw kevin’s expression fall when he sat at the back, probably assuming he was sitting with andrew instead of him, only to turn confused when andrew and neil took the seats in the second last row. after a moment the realisation hit him and the grin returned, scrambling to take his seat beside aaron.
“ why are we sitting in the back?” kevin smiled, taking aaron’s hand.
aaron just shrugged “ i wanted to talk to you...”
kevin’s brows furrowed “ about?”
“just...stuff” he rested his head on kevin’s shoulder, feeling his ears go pink when kevin moved his arm so it was wrapped around him. aaron’s head pressed against his chest.
kevin laughed “ you’re gonna have to elaborate there “
“ just.. what happened. it didn’t make me uncomfortable...just, shocked” he shrugged
“ oh....then why’d you avoid me?”
aaron just shrugged, playing with kevin’s hand quietly
“ if you don’t wanna tell me now, we can talk about it later?” kevin suggested “ in the tent?”
aaron just nodded , taking out his headphones. technically, he and andrew were supposed to share a tent. that’s what the adults insisted ( once stuart had literally said to andrew and neil that ‘there shall be no frick frackling on family friendly trips!’ . neil had almost died from embarrassment) , but andrew and kevin almost swapped anyway ; to the point that the adults didn’t bother telling them off anymore.
he put on their road trip playlist, gave one earbud to kevin and squeezed his hand. closing his eyes as he breathed in kevin’s scent.he smelt like apples, aaron thought, probably because of the body wash he used. it smelled like home.
~
“ ronnie,wake up. we’re here ” a gentle voice called out to him. aaron grunted, snuggling more into a warm touch on his scalp and his pillow, which felt harder than usual. huh.
“ ronnn...wake up before andrew or dad drags you out” the familiar voice giggled. it was a pleasant sound, aaron thought, very soothing.
“minyard, get your ass up” a deeper,rougher voice scoffed.
aaron sleepily blinked, looking up at david wymack. he looked taller than usual (aaron was facing his knees sideways for some reason??) with his arms crossed and an amused look on his voice. aaron scowled at him, turning around instead, face meeting kevin’s torso.
wait.
wait
aaron shot up, no doubt his ears turning red. his head had just been on kevin’s thighs. KEVINS THIGHS !!!!
kevin looked at him amusedly “ you fell asleep. you’re so tiny you managed to lay across the seats no problem” he teased
“shut it, day” he grumbled. sitting up. his hair was sticking up in all directions,according to his reflection in the mirror. had kevin been stroking it.....? nah. he probably just tossed and turned a bit. but then again...he had felt something warm on his hand. and kevin’s hands were definitely warm.
“ you done flirting? get off the bus. as punishment for making me come back here you’re helping us load everything off the bus. everyone’s already waiting outside”
kevin just shrugged, he always helped anyway. aaron, however, was a minyard. and minyard’s did not do hard labour when someone else could easily do it.
“ coach ! that’s not fair !”
“ life’s not fair kid. now hurry up or you’re doing it all yourself”
aaron scowled at him but got off anyway. going to the boot and sighing dramatically as he dragged bags out of the car. he only stopped complaining when kevin’s sweater rode up when he hauled out a bag, exposing enough skin for aaron to get a glimpse of his abs. abs for fucks sake, there was absolutely no reason for kevin to be so fit. alas, the universe was cruel and aaron had to suffer the sight before eventually the fabric returned into its place. aaron didn’t know whether he should be relieved or disappointed.
once everything was out of the bus, everyone grabbed their respective backpacks and some extra gear. at least today they weren’t hiking anywhere, the trek down to the lake was short enough that they probably wouldn’t even have to have dinner straight away.
“ you four” abby smiled at the monsters “ could you go find us some firewood? and we’ll put up your tents in return”
neil shrugged “ sure” he hummed before taking andrew’s hand and dragging him off to the forest.
kevin looked at aaron and shrugged. dumping his backpack on the floor “abby, could you set our tent up so it’s facing the fire? i like the view”
she nodded gently, offering a smile to her stepson before getting to work. kevin dragged aaron out to the forest “want a piggy back?”
aaron grinned a little “ yes. get down horsey”
kevin laughed “ if i was a horse you wouldn’t even be able to reach me”
“ you say that as if i can reach you now” aaron snorted
“ true true.....shortie”
“ you’re just a giant”
“ and what about it?”
aaron just rolled his eyes, climbing onto kevin’s back once he bent down. he reached forward and used his knife to cut off some branches, handing them to kevin to hold. and when kevin leaned down to collect some off the floor, aaron squealed and clung to him for dear life
“ and you say i’m the clingy one” kevin laughed
“ was that a pun? make a fucking pun one more time and i’ll gut you” he scoffed
kevin hummed for a moment before “you’re like a puppy. all bark and no bite”
aaron glared daggers into the back of his head “ you’re lucky i like you, other worse you’d be dead right now?”
that was the wrong thing to say, aaron could practically hear the smirk on kevin’s face when he said :
“ awwww ! you like me !” he cooed.
you have no idea, aaron thought
“i take it back, i hate your guts”
“ nope! no take backs !”
“ fuck you”
“ only if you wanted me too” kevin smirked, earning a choked cough from aaron. the bastard
“ you’re disgusting”
“ i’m just kiddingggg. jesus ron” kevin giggled
“ i’m an atheist bitch”
“ me too, it’s an expression. ever heard of it?”
“ shut up”
they carried on like that until they had collected enough firewood. this felt normal, aaron thought, he had felt so weird all week. this felt like coming home. kevin felt like home
by the time they arrived back to the camping grounds, all the tents had already been made. andrew and neil still hadn’t arrived, probably taking a detour. aaron didn’t want to know, gross.
aaron sat on one of the logs they had put around the soon-to-be camp fire. the girls were still in their tent, with matt hanging out with them. he may have to share a tent with erik and nicky to sleep in, but it didn’t mean he had to cockblock them all the time ! especially since nicky would most likely not stop making out with his boyfriend even if matt was there. kevin was setting up their sleeping bags in their tent,meanwhile the adults were setting up a barbecue. aaron didn’t really feel like doing anything, so he just stared at where the fire was supposed to be, head in his hands.
“ you okay honey?” bee’s voice distracted him from his thoughts.
aaron turned around to look at her and nodded
“ want to help me start up the fire?”
“ sure” he said softly as he sat beside her. aaron hated to admit it, but andrew and bee were definitely closer than bee and aaron. she treated them equally, and he knew she loved him but....he couldn’t help but feel she liked andrew more. andrew would always go to bee for everything, meanwhile aaron didn’t like opening up to her as much. so really, it was only his fault that she probably liked andrew more
“ what are you thinking about? you’ve got the thinking face on” bee smiled softly. aaron groaned
“ i don’t do a thinking face !”
“ you do, dear. you and andrew both”
aaron just shook his head “ do not “ his lips twitched into a slight smile.
“ if you say so” bee chuckled, starting up the fire with the wood he and kevin collected. soon enough, andrew and neil reappeared. neil looked way too flushed for them to have just been making out, also andrew’s hair was a mess and his ears pink. disgusting. absolutely revolting. aaron gave andrew a disgusted look to which he flipped him off.
night fell soon after that. and despite the fire cackling and the barbecue radiating heat,aaron was freezing. apparently, kevin noticed this. he sat beside the smaller boy, tugging off his sweater before aaron could even say anything. aaron couldn’t help but stare as he pulled it off. because his t-shirt underneath had gotten caught along with the sweater,it exposed his torso. aaron was just glad the fire made their face’s glow, disguising his blush.
“put this on” kevin hummed
“ what about you?” aaron bit his lip, shoving the sweater back unto kevins lap.
kevin just shook his head “ we both know you and andrew aren’t built for cold weather, i don’t know why you were stupid enough to come camping in short sleeves” aaron looked down at his light blue t-shirt “ but i can deal with it.you however, will be shivering all night. just take the damn sweater, if i get cold i brought a spare jacket anyway” he gently pulled the sweater over aaron’s head.
aaron whined, but let kevin put it on him. he put his arms through the sleeves and pulled it down. standing up to flatten it. it was way too big with him, he even had sweater paws!
“i look ridiculous “ aaron scowled
“ i think you mean adorable” kevin laughed, it sounded a little forced though. and kevin wasn’t meeting his eyes. did he really look that bad??
aaron crossed his arms “ minyard’s aren’t adorable”
“ well, andrew isnt. you are” kevin stood up, quietly taking the collar of aaron’s polo and folding it so it sat on top of the sweater.
“ we’re identical twins, idiot” aaron mumbled. there was no spite to his words though, too busy staring at kevin staring at his lips to say anything.
kevin shook his head with a little huff off laughter, tilting aaron’s head up by his chin “ true, but there’s so many things that make you different” he murmured
“like what?” aaron gulped, throat a little dry. was kevin leaning in? or was he just imagining that?
“ your smile is different, your eyes crinkle more when you smile” he brushed aaron’s hair behind his ear with his spare hand “ your lips look softer. more pink, too. you both have hazel eyes of course, but when you look closer you have more green in them while his are more golden” he murmurs, aaron is so hyper aware of how close he is. brown skin lit up by the flames.
kevin pauses for a moment before saying, in a small gentle voice “ the shade of green in your eyes has always been my favourite colour. ever since i first noticed them”
aaron stares at him in shock. well if that isn’t a love declaration then the fuck is? he’ll take his chances. he grabs the front of kevin’s t-shirt and pulls him into a kiss. he can’t help but anticipate shock, and then disgust. and then for kevin to pull away. instead, kevin leans into the touch, pulling him closer by his waist and cupping his cheek with his other hand.
this, aaron thinks, is home.
kevin pulls away much too quickly for his liking, staring at aaron with a stupid grin. aaron wants to kiss him again to make it go away just so he can stop feeling things at the site of that lopsided grin. fuck kevin day and his stupid smile.
“ we should go inside the tent” kevin said shyly, looking around. by chance or by luck, no one saw them.
aaron nods, dragging aaron to their tent. he turns the light on and zips the tent shut once they’re both inside. looking up at kevin silently.
“ come here” kevin murmurs, patting his lap.
aaron scowls at him from habit “ i’m not a pet,day”
kevin smiles stupidly “ i know. i just really want to kiss you again. can i?”
“ i kissed you first, dont forget it” but he’s already making his way to kevin. because who is he to deny this beautiful, beautiful boy?
kevin laughs “ i’m glad you did, because i never would have been able too. initiate, i mean.i never thought you liked me like that so i never wanted to like actually make a move in case you were just joking with the flirting or something. and i know that sounds stupid but like anxiety’s a bitch-“
aaron shuts him up with another kiss, sighing happily into kevins mouth. he straddles him lap easily, moving a hand up to his jet black hair.
kevin makes a small noise at the interruption, but makes no complaints. he grabs aaron’s waist and pulls him closer, leaning into the kiss.
aaron traces his fingers down kevin’s neck, smiling slightly when kevin shivers “neck kink? really day?” he laughs into the kiss.
kevin groans “ shut up and kiss me” he mumbled, pressing his lips against aaron’s once again, wrapping his arms around the other boys back to pull him tighter. the force of the action pushes them back a bit, so much that aaron is practically laying on top of kevin,with kevin’s hands running down his back and then to his butt.squeezing gently. aaron’s face burned.
“gladly” he mumbled, blushing even more when kevin took his open mouth as an opportunity to use some tongue. and oh. he definitely likes that.
aaron hands start to make their way down kevin’s clothed chest, but before he can actually touch some damn skin there’s a cough from outside the tent.
aaron pulls away from kevin to look at the closed entrance of the tent. there’s a shadow lurking outside. shit.
“ uh, boys” wymack’s voice startles kevin and he sits up “ the lights are on and we can all see what you’re doing. cuz you know...silhouettes” he coughed awkwardly. aaron immediately crawl’s out of kevin’s lap. the striker’s face burning a deep red.
“um” aaron’s voice comes out a little strangled “ sorry, we’ll turn off the lights”
wymack snorts a little “ nu uh. get out, kevin you’re staying in your tent. with neil. no more switches , or you’re going to get the sex talk from bee”
aaron has already had that talk, and he has no intention of getting it again. he looks back at kevin, who is busy trying to pull his t-shirt over the tent in his jeans. oh. aaron’s face flushes even more.
“ alright!” kevin calls out, voice scratchy and laced with embarrassment “ we’ll be out in a minute!”
aaron blushed deeply, burying his face in kevin’s sweater “ i am not going out there” he whispered
kevin grimaced “ i don’t want to either but i also don’t want the sex talk from your mum”
“ right” he groaned “ well..you go first. i don’t want to deal with their stares”
kevin gasped offendedly “ you’re selling me out?!
“ yes” aaron rolled his eyes
“ meanie” kevin pouted, kissing his cheek. aaron shoved him away since everyone could still see their shadows. he quickly unzipped the tent and climbed out, pushing past wymack and ignoring the foxes’ shit eating grins as he walked past them to the barbecue, taking a plate and putting some food on it. he skimmed the logs for the best place to sit. wymack had taken back his seat next to abby and stuart. near to them bee and stephanie. on another log was dan,matt, renee and allison. mr and mrs klose we’re sitting on a tree stump together, near the other adults also. that left kevin and aaron to sit with either nicky and erik or andrew and neil. aaron knew where he was sitting immediately; erik wouldn’t have teased him but nicky would’ve made a show of doing so. he’d rather stomach neil’s shit eating grin and andrew’s knowing smirk, at least they wouldn’t make a big deal out of it.
aaron silently sat beside andrew. soon enough, kevin awkwardly shuffled over and sat beside aaron too.
“aren’t you going to go get food?” aaron mumbled
kevin shook his head “ im just, uh, waiting for my problem to go away”
aaron furrowed his eyes.problem?
“huh?”
kevin stared at him like he was stupid
“ what?” he scowled and kevin sighed deeply, discreetly grabbing aaron’s hand and pressing it to the bulge in his jeans.
“that” kevin mumbled embarrassedly.
aaron smirked at him teasingly
“fuck off” he grumbled “ we just had a heated make out session and i’m a hormonal teenager. what else would you expect?”he whispered
aaron shrugged “ thought it might’ve been killed when your dad interrupted”
kevin grimaced “ probably would’ve. but it’s not going away, not when you look like...that” his eyes roamed down aaron, eyeing the way his sweater framed him and how his freckles stood out on his blush.
“ shut up” he mumbled “ you can eat off my plate. idiot”
“ you love it” kevin grinned. he looked away though when andrew turned to look at him
“ you two done flirting? we’re switching tents back once everyone else is asleep by the way” andrew said boredly
“ seriously? you wanna bang josten that bad?” kevin snorted
“ i could say the same for you and my brother” andrew replied easily, smirking at kevin’s reddening cheeks.
“ good luck” neil hummed to aaron “ vin snores. loudly”
“ i know” aaron snorted. he’d slept in the same room (and bed for that matter) as kevin before.
kevin whined “ i can’t help it!”
“ it’s fine, i’ll just pinch your nose” aaron teased.
kevin scowled, earning a laugh from the other three boys.
aaron couldn’t help but feel warm inside. kevin felt the same way about him, the fire was bright and s’mores were being prepared. he had his brother by his side, laughing with him. he felt...happy. he felt so damn happy
a few s’mores and campfire stories later, they were retreating to bed. aaron went back to his tent, finding andrew already sitting there.
he sighed happily, flumping down on his sleeping bag
“you’re disgustingly happy” andrew wrinkled his nose
“ i actually kissed him!” he grinned, turning to face his twin
“ about time. you’re both oblivious as each other” he rolled his eyes
aaron just shrugged, sitting up when he heard bee asking if she could come in. he grimaced, but andrew let her in.
“ wymack and stuart are giving kevin and neil a talk about how they’re not allowed to switch tents and if they do they’re in trouble” she chuckled, sitting back on her knees “ but i know you boys, so i know there’s no point in telling you what you can and can’t do”
aaron smiled weakly at that. he loved bee for that. she never tried to discipline them in a way that told them what they could and couldn’t do. she just tried to make sure no matter what they chose to do, they were safe and not taking it too far.
“ although i personally do believe you’re too young for sex, if you do decide to engage in it i want you to be safe” she pulled out a packet of condoms and a small bottle of lube, handing it to aaron. “andrew and i have already had this conversation, when he first got into a relationship with neil. don’t feel like you can’t ask me to buy anything sex relate for you okay? or i could take you with me to buy them yourself,so you know what to get. or just give you the money for it” she said softly “ sex is natural and nothing to be ashamed of. as long as it’s consensual and safe, and preferably private - there is nothing wrong with that. your body, your choice”
aaron nodded, ears tinged pink. andrew watched boredly, already crawling into his sleeping bag
“thanks...mum” he murmured softly. aaron had called her mum before, but he usually stuck with bee.
she smiled softly at him “ can i kiss your forehead dear?”
another thing he loved about her, she always asked before physically touching them.
he nodded, closing his eyes as he did so
“bye...” he mumbled
“bye. you too andrew, sleep well my loves”
aaron smiled a little, zipping the tent closed again and laying on his pillow
“ she’s the best” he mumbled, closing his eyes
andrew hummed in agreement “ go to sleep. your boyfriend is coming at like 2,probably.by then wymack will be asleep. thats 2 hours of rest before you get up to god knows what” he scoffed
aaron hummed “ what? cuddling?”
“ thats even more disgusting” andrew made a face
“ as if you don’t cuddle neil. hypocrite”
“ shut up and go to sleep”
“ ari, wake up” aaron groaned when he was hit by a pillow “ your prince charming is here”
aaron wiped his eyes slightly, eyes adjusting to the moonlight. he smiled weakly at kevin “ cmere....” he yawned, making grabby hands at him.
andrew fake gagged “ stick to your sleeping back or i’ll gut you” and with that he left.
the next hour was spent with conversations of what is this and i’ve been in love with you since jean told me it was him or you, and i realised i’d pick you every time. there were lips on lips and wandering hands, bodily kisses and meaningless whispers, nothing more than that. aaron knew he wanted to do more with kevin eventually, but they had all the time in the word. he didn’t feel the need to rush. instead, he laid on kevin’s bare chest and listened to his heartbeat as he drifted back to sleep, feeling safe with kevin’s arms around him.
aaron couldn’t help but burst into laughter the next morning after seeing the expressions on wymack and stuart’s faces when they put two and two together after andrew and aaron walked out of two separate tents at the same time (they hadn’t even planned that, spooky).
wymack just groaned and shook his head, muttering about how it was too early to deal with this shit. stuart just drank his coffee with a sigh, probably wondering what he had ever done to deserve the fate of dealing with teenage boys when he wasn’t even 30 yet.
“ next trip, two of you boys are sharing with one of the adults in the 3 person tent” stuart shook his head
“does that mean me and erik can share a double tent?” nicky piped up with a grin.
mr klose laughed “ nope. definetely not” he drank his tea, rolling his eyes fondly at nicky’s pout
“ what if aaron and neil slept with matt, andrew with nicky, and kevin with erik?” mrs klose suggested
“ why am i always the cockblock?” matt whined, earning a laugh from the newly awoken neil and kevin
“ bold of you to assume andrew wouldn’t kick nicky out and sneak me into his tent” neil giggled
“i don’t get why it’s such a big deal anyway. all we do is cuddle!” kevin whined , earning disbelieving looks from everyone.
“ you literally have a hickey” allison snorted “ also, everyone pay up! i bet they’d switch !”
abby chuckled “you kids and your bets....anyway, we’ll figure out the new sleeping arrangements later. but for now.....who wants bacon?”
aaron shook his head at his family’s antics, turning around to look at kevin.only to find that kevin was already looking back at him.
