This was the fourth annual music club camping trip. This year, unlike the last three years, the music club had two additions. Sean Everett, a junior, and Milly Brooks, a freshman. Zander, Luke and Hailey had met them during the first week of sophomore year and after they joined the music club, the trio had decided to invite them on the trip.
"So, how is everyone enjoying the camp?" Hailey asked, holding her marshmallow above the fire they had built —By they she meant Luke and Sean — holding it a little bit too close to the fire, causing it to burn and turn into a charcoal-y mess.
"Shoot.." she mumbled under her breath, inspecting the sweet treat closely. This caused her friends to laugh. She pulled it off the stick. "Can you do mine for me Luke? Yours are always perfect"
"Everything Luke does is perfect," Zander slipped, his cheeks turning red. He thought he was an idiot for thinking out loud.
"But then again, I'm perfect in every aspect." He Joked, trying to recover from his slip up.
Luke gently patted Zander's back a couple times, smiling wide. Zander could've sworn Luke blushed a little too.
Zander watched as Luke placed a marshmallow on the end of Hailey's skewer, holding it close to half a foot away from the fire and slowly turning it to insure it was cooked evenly.
When he pulled it away from the fire, just as Hailey and Zander had suspected, it was a light golden brown all the way around, and when she crushed it between a split graham cracker and a piece of chocolate it was filled with thick gooey goodness.
Hailey smiled at the master piece, taking a messy bite, chocolate and marshmallow sticking all around her mouth.
"Hailey, you have it all over your face!" Milly exclaimed, laughing at her grey-eyed best friend. Zander grabbed her a napkin from the table beside him and wiped the mess off her face, rolling his eyes and smiling as she practically lost it. He tossed the paper into the fire.
"I'm so excited for tomorrow, I've been dying to go into the lake" Sean said
Luke nodded. "Me too! I can't wait to show you guys my shark swim trunks"
Zander smiled. Luke had been boasting about his new shark swim trunks since he had gotten them last Saturday.
"I have a shark swim suit too!" Milly boasted, her eyes gleaming in excitement.
"Oh my god, we can be twins!" Luke replied. Though this made Zander a tad bit jealous, he found it funny nonetheless. He couldn't wait to see Luke in his shark swim trunks.
Sean yawned, rolling his neck in a circle. "I think I'm gonna head to bed."
"Yeah," Milly started, pushing herself off the foldable chair she was seated on. "I think I will too"
Hailey nodded. "We can all just call it a night. Good night guys."
They said their good nights, exchanging hugs and smiles. The three walked towards their separate tents.
It was just Zander and Luke now, sitting in front of the warm fire. Zander admired his form fitted Luke's long sleeve shirt was. How is wrapped around his biceps. The way his sweat pants creased and made his legs look a bit poofier then normal. He looked comfortable. Zander wanted to be wrapped in his arms and held. He pushed his thoughts away as Luke began to speak.
"I'm not very tired" Luke admitted, pulling Zander out of his train of thought. Luke's eyes were gleaming while he looked into the bright fire in front of him.
Zander looked into the fire too. "Me neither"
Zander could feel Lukes eyes on him, but he was too flustered to meet them. He continued staring into the fire.
"Today has been so fun. I always look forward to these trips.. I wish we could have them more though"
Zander nodded in agreement. "Yeah same. I'm glad we brought Milly and Sean this time around."
Luke didn't respond to Zander for a moment, looking down at his fingers while picking at his nails.
"Thank you by the way. The perfect comment meant a lot."
Zander's heart warmed up. "Oh, it's really nothing. You are pretty perfect in my opinion."
Zander could hardly believe how bold he was being.
Luke smiled brightly at his best friend. "Wanna come to my tent with me? I don't feel like being alone"
Zander nodded. "Sure."
The two of them walked towards Luke's tent, sitting down on his sleeping bad.
Zander's nerves were killing him. He could feel his heart pounding a mile a minute. He had wanted to be alone with Luke since they got in the car and headed here. Hell, he always wants to be alone with Luke.
Luke laid his head onto his flat sleeping bag pillow, staring up at the tent ceiling. Zander heard frogs chirping and rustling in the woods, but most prominent was Luke's soft breaths. He watched the drummers chest rise and lower itself time and time again.
"You mean a lot to me, Zander." Luke said, turning to face the pianist.
Zander's body temperature rose, his lips parting slightly. "Y-you mean a lot to me too, Luke.."
Luke intertwined their fingers together, smiling at the latter.
At this point, Zander practically felt like he was melting.
Zander had been in love with Luke for five years now. That's since he was ten. He was terrified for Luke to find out. He cherished him so much.
The two boys remained lost in each others eyes, Luke's free hand finding a place in Zander's cheek. They attempted to make small talk, however Luke's thumb rubbing Zander's cheek gently and their hands laced together made it difficult for Zander to think straight.
"Uhm, Zander?" Luke said, breaking the romantic silence that had fallen between them.
Zander nodded in acknowledgment, signaling for Luke to go on. "I think your really pretty"
Zander smiled a wide, genuine smile, his cheeks flushing even darker.
Luke chuckled. "Especially when you smile."
Their faces were nearing each other, their noses close enough to almost be touching.
Luke's eyes traveled down to Zander's plump lips, his thumb now tracing hearts on the violet eyed pianists cheek. "Can I.. can I kiss you?"
Zander's swallowed hard, his brain taking a moment to process what Luke was asking. Zander had always thought that Luke's compliments and touchy behavior was just him being kind, but Zander actually stood a chance.
Their eyes met once again, Zander slowly nodding yes to Luke's ask. Luke leaned in slowly, his eyes closing and his lips puckering slightly.
The kiss remained for a short while, desperate and needy, almost like Luke had wanted it for years.
They pulled apart breathless, not because it was a deep kiss, but because they were both in shock from what had just happened between them.
"Thank you," Luke said awkwardly.
"Any time." Zander replied half jokingly, causing the drummer to laugh.
Zander thought Luke was an amazing kisser.
He couldn't wait to feel Luke's lips again.
