Butterflies -Benrius

Lost

(Darius POV)

We decided to head back behind where he came as it was the best option. The jungle started to get less dense and we hadnt come across any signs. My arms crossed and my hands fell in the my armpits. Ben was silently following behind. I knew he was scared, as was I.

It must have been a miracle when we ran into Bumpy. When we left her she was posted next to the camp, which means we're closer. Ben hobbled onto Bumpy's back and helped me up. Fortunately, Bumpy took us right where we needed to be.

"Thank GODD" Ben sighed, leaning back into me. He was punching the air in triumph.

The others came to the edge to see what was happening. Had they not noticed?

(Ben POV)
I sat up and excitedly hopped off of Bumpy, "Darius and I might have an idea off getting off the island!" The tired and exhausted boy pulled up behind me, smiling. Everyone looked happy.

Well, not everyone. Brooklyn looked a bit unsure but she was pleasant while Kenji just looked annoyed. My smile faded when he opened his mouth to speak.

"Are we sure it wont get us killed?" He asked, almost aggressive. Darius looked hurt. What was he mad about?

"I dont think so? The plan was to build a raft," Darius responded unsure wether it would please everyone or not.

Everyone was nodding their heads in agreement. Even Kenji was accepting of the idea, in fact, he smiled about it.

"yeah and maybe we can build a giant slingshot if that doesnt go as planned," Everyone looked at him in a (jokingly) 'are you for real?' way. We all left to a chalkboard that was scavenged. We used to play Pictionary. I was always wrong. The first attempt: a raft.

(Darius POV)
No matter what we did, nature always found a way to ruin it. After the run in on the mountain, it truly lifted our spirits when we heard the yacht was still here. Hey, maybe I could even confess on the yacht. Romantic, right? Yeah...

I wanted to get this weight off my chest, but I couldnt. I didnt want to ruin our friendship. I loved him. Really... Truly... I didnt realize I was walking until I looked up at the docks. Weird. The yacht was there and that made me feel better. Guess Kenji does come in handy.

Ben offered for me and him to go gather some supplies to mend the boat. It had a lot of dents. Everyone agreed, although Kenji wanted to come along. Youd think that MR VIP would want to stay on the yacht, but whatever.

We made it to a clearing. Main Street was about 2 miles away, judging by the plants and where the mountains were located. Being on an island for this long, you learn where everything is just by things nearby.

This week has been a rollercoaster and went down even more when Toro decided to make an appearance. Ben heard Toro running up and was able to tackle me into a bush. It wasnt the most practical way.

He sat up behind me, hugging onto my chest in a defensive way. During the moment of the tackle, I heard Kenji duck behind a tree. Glad he was okay.

We waited for Toro to pass, which he did without a second thought. Was he running from something? I heard a disturbing roar just behind us. I opened my mouth to say something. Yell, scream, gasp. But the boy clinging onto me covered my mouth as he tightened his lips.

The dinosaur that emitted the roar bolted back the direction it came. Everyone stayed silent. Ben took his hand off my mouth returning to its previous position. The position. I shouldnt be feeling this flustered after a run in with a demonic dinosaur but my face was already turning deep crimson. I didnt dare look at Ben.

"Coast is clear!" Kenji had called. This made us both jump and snap out of whatever was going on. I didnt want to move but Ben got up so I followed. He was like a dream.

When we made it to Main Street and rummaged through stuff. Food, radios, and anything else that might help. I stuck with Ben, feeling comfortable and safe in his presence.

We were at the boat and unpacked everything we gathered. There wasnt any food at main street, as we had raided that place many a time. We did snag radios for batteries though. As expected, Kenji didnt get anything useful. He unpacked fireworks that were supposed to be for the Park's first anniversary.

"For a yacht party," He stated with confidence. Typical. I smiled to myself and we decided to take the res if the day off and have a 'yacht' party.

Everyone was in a swimsuit except Ben. Did he not pack one? Everyone was happy until Kenji decided to scare me and Brooklyn. We had been getting close friend-wise and decided to prank Kenji back.

Brooklyn wanted to do some messed up stuff. It was smart but a bit overboard for just a small scare. We settled on trying to scare him back but mid-conversation, Kenji started cackling and throwing poppers at us.

He walked off laughing his ass off. I looked at Brooklyn, "no mercy."

She nodded, "no mercy."

A/N
I clearly altered this part a little. I honestly just wanted a Benrius scene so...
