Warnings: Spiders! Language!
An Over-Reaction
"In the jungle, the mighty jungle the lion sleeps tonight!" Jake sings in a high-pitched voice as the two of you walk through the dense forest.
"Jake this is the Amazon there are no lions" you point out as you cut away some vines.
"In the jungle, the quiet jungle the lion sleeps tonight!" Jake continues swaying his body to the beat as he follows after you.
"Lions don't live in jungles Jake" you repeat turning around to face him.
"Wee heeheehee weeoh aweem away!" Jake sings at the top of his lungs grabbing your hands, trying to get you to dance with him.
You try and ultimately fail at holding back a smile "you're a nightmare" you laugh.
"Yeah but you love me anyway" Jake grins as he pulls you closer and pecks you on the lips.
"That and everyone else refused to do this recon with you" you smirk making him gasp dramatically.
"Well I better show them what they're missing" he proclaims, grabbing the machete from you and leading the way singing "aweem away, aweem away, aweem away" as he went.
You couldn't help but laugh as you followed after him. The two of you walked into the clearing where you'd set up camp. You dropped your gear down by the side stretching out your back as Jake made his way to the tent. He'd only poked his head into the tent before jumping back with a yelp.
"Jesus fucking christ!" He exclaimed pacing back and forth in front of the tent.
"What? What is it?" You ask frowning over at him.
"Take a look for yourself" he says pointing at the tent his eyes wide.
You frown poking your head into the tent and instantly spotting the gigantic spider in the far corner. You let out a yelp similar to Jake's, also jumping back from the tent.
"That's things the size of my head!" You exclaim in shock.
"It's a bird-eating spider," Jake tells you letting out a puff of air as he shakes his head.
"IT EATS BIRDS!" You scream taking another couple of steps away from the tent.
"Generally no but it has the ability" Jake supplies with a small shrug of his shoulders.
"Fuck that, it's his tent now" you mutter shaking your head.
"Agreed" Jake sighs nodding his head in agreement.
"We can't really just leave the tent though, it could blow our cover," you say biting your thumbnail in thought.
"Burn it?" Jake suggests pulling a lighter from his pocket.
"But our stuff is in there" You point out.
Jake sighs nodding his head before glancing around "I can fashion a pole or something to get our stuff" he suggests.
"I guess that's the best we're gonna get, I think I have some duct tape in my pack" you sigh moving towards your rucksack.
Soon enough a pole had been fashioned and your belongings had been rescued, with minimal squealing whenever the spider moved. The tent had been set alight and the two of you started making your way back to base camp.
The heavens opened just as you arrived, both of you dashing inside the cabin where the rest of the team was waiting.
"Just in the nick of time," Clay says as he spots you "was it a success?"
"Yep, got some good intel and the bugs are in place" Jake nods as he dumps his rucksack.
"Good, go rest up we'll sort this all out" Clay offers nodding to the gear you'd brought back with you.
"Cheers Clay" you smile taking Jake's hand and starting to head towards your bedroom.
"Wait where's the tent?" Roque asks as he looks through the pile of gear.
"Oh, we burnt it," Jake says turning back to face the team.
"Why?" Cougar questions frowning over at you.
"Spider," you tell them with a small shrug of your shoulders.
"Isn't that a bit of an overreaction?" Pooch asked his eyes wide in shock.
"You should have seen the spider" Jake mutters shaking his head.
