Dan always loved working at Camp Quelvo. Every summer he would work there, the kids loved him. He bonded with the councilors, hung out with the teens, and played games with the children. Every year the kids had summer games with the rival camp, Camp Seco.
Camp Seco wasn't a traditional summer camp, they had big beds and wifi and, Dan hated them. He's never met any of them, but they went against camp morals. Yeah, sure, having fun is a good thing, but not with internet access and memory foam mattresses.
At the beginning of every year they meet the other camp, but Dan always avoided them. How could he be around them, he did like the internet, please, he loved it, but camp isn't the place for it. It's a time to bond, to spend time with your peers and make new friends.
"Hey Dan, can you spend this year with a group of the kids when the other camp comes?", Chris asked praying to all the gods he would agree.
"Why, that other camp is nothing but a bunch of spoiled rich kids?" Dan huffed out in annoyance.
"Because Liguori can't come until tomorrow" Chris sighed.
"Fine, which group am I watching for him?" Dan rolled his eyes turning to Chris.
"Your favorite, arts and crafts" Chris laughed walking away.
"Kendall you know I had paint!" Dan yelled at the shrinking figure.

"Attention Councillors and Campers," Dan heard through the loud speaker "The other camp is here to do our annual meet and greet, please all gather near the lake to say hello." He sighed and did exactly that, walking to the dock right by the lake, Dan, watched as the canoes rowed up.
"Hello Camp Seco" Dan heard the head councilor, Louise, greet, "I hope you all enjoy tonight. For those who are new, WELCOME, for those who are returning, WELCOME BACK!" Louise enthused to all the campers.
Soon enough everyone was assigned their first activities, and the councilors, their stations.
Dan was conflicted when it came to his partner. He had pale skin that contrasted with his raven dark hair, but complemented his bright blue eyes perfectly, and his blue uniform was perfect on him. It molded to his form like spandex. His biceps were huge and Dan just wanted to put his hands on them and squeeze them, trail his finger tips up them to his neck and hook is hands around it, pulling his pink lips closer until they touched Dan's.
"Uhm, Dan?" one of the younger campers said.
"What's up Kate?" Dan asked squatting down to eye level with the child.
"We're out of green paint" she said "And I really want to paint grass".
"Well I will get that for you Kate" Dan said gesturing the other councilor over.
"Yeah?" the other councilor asked.
"Hey uhm...."
"Phil" the other councilor giggled.
"Yeah, uhm Phil, so uhm, I need to get some more green paint for Kate here, would you mind coming with me?"
"Who's gonna watch the kids?" Phil asked confused.
"The cabin next door has a few more councilors, I'll grab one of them" Dan said.
As he and Phil were walking to the supply cabin he told one of the councilors next door to watch the kids. Phil looked over at Dan and saw the beam from his flashlight slightly shaking.
"Are you okay?" Phil asked grabbing Dan's arm and stopping him.
"Huh? Oh. Yeah, It's just. Well. You're going to laugh..."
