Why Not?

Chapter 11: Just Dinner

Murphy woke up, spitting out water. "What the hell," he said. Then he looked to the boy beside him. Bellamy stood holding a bucket with a devilish smile. "Time for grumpy to get up," Bellamy announced. Murphy slowly got up, making it clear he was annoyed. "Why did you wake me up?"
Bellamy grinned. "Everything's so hectic, I figured we should have dinner together since, um, everyone else is busy."
Murphy was going to say no, but Bellamy gave him a puppy-eyes look that he couldn't possibly refuse.
"Fine..."

"How do you like the meat? And grapes?" Bellamy asked.
Murphy blushed. Why did he blush? Urghh. "They're great," he replied.
Bellamy smirked. "You're getting nicer. More awake now, sleepyhead?" Murphy threw a grape at him, but of course Bellamy managed to catch it in his mouth. 'So frustrating' Murphy thought. He quickly finished off his rabbit meat. "Fast eater, huh? You should enjoy it more," Bellamy said.
"What, like you? The slowest eater on earth?" Murphy shot back, pointing out Bellamy's half-eaten meat and pile of grapes.
"So? Who cares," Bellamy scoffed. Murphy laughed at his lack of comebacks. "You're an idiot."
Bellamy grinned. "You think it's a cute trait, though."
Again, Murphy found himself blushing. "No, it's quite frustrating actually."
Then he took some grapes off of the other boy's pile.
"Hey!" Bellamy shouted, swatting at Murphy's hand. He frowned and started eating faster. "Stealer," he muttered.
Murphy chuckled and continued taking his grapes.

Bellamy's POV:
Murphy can be annoying, and mean, and grumpy. Okay, that makes him out to be pretty bad, but he's really nice sometimes. I flash him a smile, and grin even wider when his face goes red. I kinda like him. I mean, I just got cheated on and all, but it's a small crush anyway. He might not even like me back. Whatever. I should eat more of my grapes before he eats the rest. "You get on my nerves sometimes," I say.
"You think it's a cute trait," he replies with a half-smile. That little weasel, taking my line.
And he keeps taking my grapes too!
"It's actually really annoying." I grab the last five grapes and stuff them all in my mouth. Then I point to my mouth triumphantly. Murphy just bursts out laughing. Whatever, I won and he knows it.
