"Cameron, for the love of God, stop scratching!" Kendall begged from his bed on the opposite side of the room. It was the fourth time he had woken up from the other boys incessant scratching.

"I can't help it!" He whined back, clawing at his legs.

Kendall groaned, rubbing his eyes as he knew he couldn't fall back asleep. "Fuck this, c'mon," he growled, throwing his furs to the ground. He stumbled over to Cameron's bed and pulled his furs off too.

"Hey!" Cameron snarled but Kendall ignored him, grabbing the back of his neck and dragging him out of the room. Cameron, being bigger and stronger than the Rogue, ripped out of his grasp. "What're you doing?! Are you crazy? They will kill us!" He hissed. "Omega's aren't allowed out of bed this late."

"I'm tired of you scratching your damn legs and the hot springs has healing properties, so guess where the fuck we're going." Kendall growled back, fairly cranky from his lack of sleep in this new place. He grabbed Cameron's wrist and continued dragging him along.

"What part of we're gonna die do you not understand?" He scoffed, pulling his hand from Kendall's grip once again.

Kendall huffed, wiping at his sweaty forehead. Cameron's brow furrowed, "It seems I'm not the only one with a problem."

"I'm fine," he snapped.

Cameron sighed, "Maybe we should go get Zaid. He's the best healer and I'm sure-,"

"Just get in the damn water." Kendall glared, stalking down the hallway to the bathing room.

"Kendall wait!" Cameron whisper yelled, running after him. Kendall ignored him, getting into the stone tub, shorts and all. "Kendall!"

"No one is awake. Just get in the tub." Kendall leaned his head back, relaxing in the warm water.

"Fine," Cameron gave in, "but we have to be gone by morning rounds." He slipped off his shorts, revealing his bright red thighs.

"Shit, dude."

"Shut up," he growled, "I know it's bad."

"What happened?" Kendall closed his eyes, leaning back and relaxing as his friend joined him in the tub.

"I don't know. I think it was something in the woods."

"I didn't get it."

"I know," Cameron groaned out, scratching at his wrists. "I don't think the water is helping."

"Just give it a minute." Kendall popped open one eye. "And stop scratching." Cameron huffed, copying Kendall's actions and resting his tanned back against the stone. "This is actually nice." He chuckled nervously. "I've never just sat in here."

A smile tilted Kendall's lips up. "There's another one up a little ways up the canyon. It's where I'd go when I got hurt. Or when I needed to just relax. That one has bubbles and it cleans fur really well."

"It's because your fur is too long." Cameron remarked.

"Yeah, yeah. When you're on the run, the extra insulation is quite helpful. So, this is about as damn short as it's gonna get." He remarked, running a hand through his curly locks.

They were silent for a while, letting the water soothe them before Cameron spoke up. "You said you've gone into the springs up the canyon. How have you not gotten caught before?"

Kendall sighed, rubbing his lower leg absentmindedly. "The spring up further is on the edge of your territory. I was never technically breaking any rules when I was on the other side of it. The only reason I got caught this last time is because I was ... confused." He grit out.
