The Unresolved Sexual Tension Theory

The Unresolved Sexual Tension Theory

"That was mine!"

"It was not, I called it first!"

"They've been arguing over the cookie for half an hour," Jinja groaned, watching Chase and Bren argue as to who got the last cookie.

Dax lazed against a tree, half out of the firelight, and Beyal was lying on his stomach, propped up on an elbow, watching the two friends argue quietly.

"Just leave them Princess," Dax yawned, stretching. "They'll give up soon enough."

"If not, you could just take the cookie from them." Beyal suggested as Chase tackled Bren and they began to wrestle.

"That's...a good idea..." Jinja said thoughtfully, looking at the cookie lying innocently in its packet.

Jinja was about to get up from her sleeping bag and grab it when Dax held a hand up, smirking.

"Actually Princess, I don't think this is about the cookie at all." He said. Jinja and Beyal gave him curious looks.

"But - are they not arguing and wrestling over the fact that they both want the last cookie?" Beyal questioned, confused.

"I think it's just an excuse." The Lowlander said, leaning forward a bit more.

Not too far away, Bren and Chase were still wrestling. Jinja and Beyal leaned towards Dax, curious as to what he was talking about.

"Well?" Jinja said impatiently. "Spill it, what's your so called theory?"

"I think they're just working out some unresolved sexual tension." The Lowlander said devilishly.

Beyal's eyes widened and Jinja looked thoughtful, while Chase and Bren immediately straightened up, sputtering.

"WHAT?" They both exclaimed.

"Yes Dax, please expand on your theory." Beyal said, cocking his head to the side.

"It's very interesting. How do you think they're working out their unresolved sexual tension?"

If they couldn't believe Dax had said it, then they certainly weren't prepared for Beyal to actually somewhat agree.

"How can you even - there's no sexual tension between us!" Chase cried, a deep flush lighting up his face.

"It seems like every time you do this - "Dax motioned to their positioning (Chase had pinned Bren down, and had not left said position), "you're using trivial means as an excuse to gain dominance over each other."

Bren pushed Chase off of him, a blush spiralling down his face as well.

"Heaps of people do that!" he sputtered. "That doesn't mean anything!"

"Well, you guys seem to...uh...give off vibes when you wrestle like that." Jinja interjected, smirking.

"And your faces are unusually red." Beyal added, a little smirk lighting up his own features.

Chase whirled on Beyal. "Well what about when you cuddle up to Dax when you sleep! Do you see me telling you and Dax you have some kind of sexual tension?"

Beyal's face went bright red and he cried, "I cannot help it!" when Jinja entered the conversation.

"Look, I'm the one on a road trip with a bunch of gay couples, let me say something here." She said, and Beyal gave her a betrayed look while Dax merely flicked a look of irritation her way. "Chase, Bren - just admit it! There's been some sort of connection between you since we were thirteen. Remember that Christmas party last year?"
