It's really quiet, now that they're done talking. There isn't anything left to say, so Kyle doesn't. He's sitting next to Stan who's laying down on the sleeping bag.
When he thinks about it, there may be a river nearby, because he can hear the faint sound of water rushing past. He hadn't noticed that before.
"Ky, my head hurts." Stan whines, breaking the silence.
"I know. I'm sorry but I can't do anything about it." Kyle sighs, bringing his attention back to him. "Wait- did you just call me Ky?" Kyle smiles teasingly.
"No. No I didn't."
"You did! Only Ike has called me that before."
"Shut up. I didn't call you Ky." Stan stuffs his face in the sleeping bag, as if it will help him hide away from the embarrassment.
"Hey, it's alright, I don't mind." Kyle reassures, a smile still on his face. He laughs as Stan kicks him in the side.
It feels nice to laugh again, even if he knows not everything is okay yet. But just the thought of knowing it could be very soon, is calming.
"Are you hungry?" Kyle speaks up again. "We still haven't touched the soup."
"No.. no. I'm alright."
"When was the last time you ate, Stan?"
Stan doesn't answer at first, but then he sighs and says, "I'm not sure. But you need the food more than me."
Kyle shakes his head and opens the parachute box again, taking out the container of soup. "Eat." He says and hands it to Stan.
"I'm not hungry." Stan protests, pushing it away.
"Stanley."
"... Jesus Christ, okay. Fine, I'll eat some." He takes the container carefully, and opens it up. He doesn't feel hungry at all. He's afraid he'll throw it all up and it'll just be a waste.
His head is still throbbing in pain, but he ignores it. Grabbing the spoon and lifting it up to his mouth, he takes a small sip. It's not that bad. It tastes kinda good actually. He's still not hungry though.
"See? It's not that bad, is it?" Kyle smiles fondly.
Stan's stomach feels fuzzy at the sight. "Mmh. I don't know, I'm not hungry."
Kyle sighs. "Well, if you don't want food then what do you want?"
In all honesty, Stan just wants to hold Kyle's hand again. "I don't know.." he lies.
"You don't know?" Kyle raises an eyebrow.
"Mhmm..."
"Right. I have a hard time believing that." Kyle smiles teasingly, tilting his head.
Stan pouts. "What? Why?"
"Because you're acting stupid. More than before."
Stan looks away in mock offence, crossing his arms.
"Aww poor Stanley needs Ky to make him feel better." Kyle teases with a laugh, watching Stan's face redden slightly. "Do you need me to hold your hand as well?" He adds.
"Shut up!" Stan hides his face in his hands.
Kyle giggles and scoots closer. "I can hold your hand. I don't mind."
"Well now I don't want to."
"But you did before?" Kyle smirks.
"No.."
"You're such a bad liar."
"Shut up."
Kyle lifts his hand up, intending to remove the hands covering Stan's face. But when his palm comes in contact, he pulls away, startled. "Whoa dude. No wonder you have a headache, you're burning up!"
"... thanks?"
"That was not a compliment! Ugh, Stan, you need medicine or something."
"But we don't have that, do we?" Stan let's his hands fall down to his lap, as his gaze meets Kyle's.
"No.. we don't.." Kyle murmurs, but he may have an idea on how to get it. He thinks back to the note Kenny had written along with the soup; You call that a kiss?
It's obvious their mentor wanted more of.. that, to get the viewers attention.
Maybe if he kissed Stan for real now, the sponsors will be pleased and they'll send the medicine. It does make sense.. Kyle just has to actually do it.
"... would a kiss make you feel better?" He suggests, cringing internally at the weird request.
"Wh- what?"
"Do you want me to kiss you?" Kyle repeats, more straight forward.
"Uh- now?"
"Yes now! Stop talking and just answer my question!"
"I guess.. it would make me feel better...?" Stan focuses his gaze on the ground, afraid of looking into Kyle's eyes again.
