Sweet Devil [BL]

Chapter 42. Raccoon

After a long shower, Gabriel and Misha returned to the campsite. The pungent odor that lingered around assaulted their noses, making them want to turn on their heels and rush back to the bathroom, where it smelled nice and fresh—at least, in comparison.

Pinching their noses, they scanned the campsite, looking for Masha and Gulnas. They quickly found them, the light of the flashlight illuminating their backs, and when they grew closer, they saw how they dealt with the terrible odor: by plugging their noses with tissues.

The girls looked foolish with the twisted white Kleenex stuffed up their nostrils, making their noses appear more prominent and rounder, almost like a ball. Misha couldn't restrain himself and roared with laughter. He knew he shouldn't laugh, but he couldn't restrain himself! And, of course, laughing at his sister's expense earned him a light knock on the head.

With a smile that wasn't quite a smile, Masha shook a box of white tissues under her brother's nose and mischievously said, "You shouldn't laugh. In a short while, you will look as stupid as we do unless you want to abuse your nose for the rest of the night. It's not like the stench will disappear any time soon."

...His sister's grin could be so annoying sometimes!

Lowering his head, Misha reluctantly picked two Kleenex, glaring at them before stuffing them in his nostrils. It wasn't a comfortable feeling, hindering his breathing, but the odor did become less intense. Although he could still smell it faintly, it was bearable, and his stomach didn't churn as much.

Once Misha was done, he not-so-discreetly peeked at Gabriel's grimacing face, which comforted him a little. Looks like he wasn't the only one who found the sensation unpleasant.

Afterward, the four of them decided to sleep in Mrs. Brown's tent. It was a little cramped, but it was better than the other tent doused in skunk's spray. Misha thought he wouldn't be able to fall asleep with things stuffed in his nose, yet he was the first to close his eyes and enter dreamland.

He even had a good sleep. The same couldn't be said for the other three, though. In addition to the strange sensation in their noses, they also had to endure the child's loud snores and bad sleeping habits.

The next day, Misha was the last to wake up, and when he met with Masha, his mother, and Gabriel, the first thing he noticed was the dark circles under their eyes. He wisely decided not to comment and silently ate his breakfast.

Since they didn't want to spend the day with tissues stuffed in their nostrils, they decided to go to the beach. There, they could relax while thinking about what to do next. The terrible stench pervaded the campsite, and even their clothes reeked. Staying in such an environment for the rest of their vacation was out of the question. They didn't know how long it'd take for the stench to disappear, but it should at least take a few days.

At the beach.

Misha sullenly sat on the sandy ground and stared at his joyful sister with dissatisfaction.

When he wasn't paying attention, she had jumped on Gabriel's back, wrapping her long legs around his waist and pressing her breast against the teenager's back. She was like an octopus that plastered itself against an ugly rock.

Who knows why, but Misha could understand his parents' old-fashioned way of thinking all of a sudden. The teenagers were too close, and there was too much skin-to-skin contact between them! Moreover, his sister's swimsuit was too revealing, making him want to tightly wrap his towel around her chest. Although her bikini was cute, a bright blue one with lacing and ruffle, it didn't cover enough, attracting the greedy gaze of many men.
