S'mores

For my Summer Camp AU that I may never post -- Haven't decided yet.

—————

Mario tapped his feet on the ground impatiently. Campfires like these always seemed stupid to him, but with some of his friends there, he could at least take comfort in their presence. Now they were all gone, scattered throughout C.I.T and Counselor night activities, leaving Mario to sit alone.

Of course, there was still one person at camp who he could hang out with. But David, as usual, was helping to run the singalong. At least, so Mario thought, until his boyfriend plopped down on the log right next to him.

"David? I thought you were supposed to-"

David waved him away, already knowing Mario's question before he even finished. "Eh, I don't feel like singing today. They can manage without me."

Mario looked back down at his feet again, trying not to notice how close David had chosen to sit next to him. How their shoulders pressed against each other, and how Mario would barely have to move an inch to weave his fingers through David's. Nope. He didn't notice it at all.

The counselors, specifically Kay and Bryan started to sing some stupid call-and-response song about something called a rigabamboo, and David laughed and joined in, singing along and making the hand motions quietly. Mario stared at his boyfriend in awe as he followed along perfectly to the completely nonsensical song. Where on earth did all the counselors and kids hear these ridiculous rhymes, anyways?

Mario gathered enough to mumble along with the second chorus, but once the song was over, he turned to David.

"How in the world did you have that memorized?

David laughed sheepishly and rubbed the back of his head. "It's one of my favorites! We've been singing it ever since I got to camp." Mario shook his head, still not convinced. David hadn't been at camp for as long as he had, and Mario still barely knew any of the songs. But perhaps that was just because he never payed attention to campfire, anyways.

Another song started up, but David didn't seem to have as much interest in this one, so he gazed happily into the fire instead. Eventually, he saw in his peripheral vision that Mario was staring at him, and gave Mario a little smile, to which Mario replied by snapping his head down and pretending that he hadn't been looking at all. David laughed, slipping his hand into Mario's, which did not help the already blooming blush on Mario's face.

"Honestly, I'm pathetic," Mario mumbled, covering his face with he free hand. "We've been officially dating for how long now? 5 months? And I still get so embarrassed."

David bumped his shoulder playfully. "It's okay! It's just 'cause you loveeee me so much."

Mario scowled. "Lies and slander. Everyone knows I despise you."

David laughed again. "Whatever you say, Pebble boy."

Mario studied David for a moment. "You're in a good mood," he decided.

"Yes. Is there something wrong with that?"

"No! I was just wondering why."

David shrugged. "Life is good. I'm sitting across from my friends, holding my boyfriend's hand, they're pulling out stuff to make s'mores over there- wait." He gasped.

"S'mores." He turned to face Mario. "I'm gonna go get one!" And suddenly there was no one sitting next to him. and his hand was cold, and David was getting in a line on the other side of the fire.

Mario followed him slowly, warily picking around demigods laying on the ground. When he reached David's side again, he asked, "Okay, what is up with you?"
