The Lads go camping

Together

Howard was the first to stir awake turning in his sleeping bag seeing mark curled up in his blanket and sleeping bag with his head poking out the top, he can't lie mark did look adorable but that's not the point. He knew he'd need to wake Gary and Robbie up soon as they planned last night to go on a walk today.

Grabbing his vest he threw it on over his top half he stumbled out the tent, looking at his watch he seen it was around 10 am so he knew mark would be awake soon. He walked around what is now a burnt out fire station and stepped closer to rob and Gary's tent. Unzipping it from the outside he peakin his head through and seen a sight he's never seen before

Gary being spooned by Robbie

Robbies arm is tightly around Gary's body holding him in a secure hold, head resting in Gary's neck and in his sleeping state Gary linked their hands and took a deep breathe when Robbie smiled against his neck, both still sleeping. Howard just observed them and seen a...hicky? On Robbies neck. They're together Howard thought instantly. They've all fell asleep holding each other but this was a different hold, especially since they're linking hands on Gary's lower stomach. Seeing them begin to stir awake Howard moved back to his tent quickly to tell mark

"Mark! Markie wake up"

"Go away you horrible person!" Mark groaned as Howard shook his shoulder "gaz and rob are together" Howard blurted out "well done they are sharing a tent Sherlock" mark smartly said as he sat up in his sleeping bag with his blanket still wrapped around him "I think something is going on with them"

"Oh don't be daft Howard they're just sleeping"

"Who sleeps spooning unless you're together!"

"You spooned me last night"

"I did no..oh shit"

"Exactly! Look they're just really close friends stop getting suspicious of them they're just sleeping dougie" Mark emphasised that they're just sleeping and made howard bow his head in defeat to what's being discussed. Mark got out of his sleeping bag and grabbed Howard's hoodie not bothering to ask if he can borrow it and went outside. He instantly shivered at the fresh air but quickly became used to the air as he rubbed his hands together "right! Breakfast time!

Rob/Gary's tent

"Babe" a gentle loving voice whispered, it was left ignored.

"Babeeee" the voice whined longer and caused their partner to stir "rob" Gary sleepily croaked "morning gorgeous" Robbie smiled in Gary's neck still holding him close to his front, continuing to spoon him as they linked hands at the bottom of Gary's tummy.

"Morning handsome" Gary's voice was gravely, deep and to Robbie to was hot! Robbie mentality groaned as the words fell from Gary's mouth "god I love your morning voice" Robbie whispered in the crook of his secret partners neck lightly kissing the skin beside Gary's vest strap making Gary smile and sighed contently at the loving gesture, Robbie can be really affectionate and Gary loves it. The way Robbie ever so gently placed his soft loving lips on Gary's skin is enough to fill Gary with the warmth he needs, it makes him feel loved, wanted.

"WAKE UP YOU TWO" their loving somewhat romantic morning moment was interrupted by mark shouting outside their tent "act like your sleeping" Robbie slightly pleaded not wanting to let Gary go yet "he knows we're awake love, come on gotta get up sometime" Gary groaned sitting up, Robbies arm now across Gary's legs as he continued to lay down just looking up at Gary "hey gaz" he rubbed small circles in Gary's inner thigh getting his attention "yeah?"

"I love you, you know?" Robbies eyes where big, filled with emotions, filled with love. The love he only carries for Gary. On hearing them words Gary looked over his shoulder and looked down at Robbies sleepy yet loving face "I don't think I do" Gary teased and was instantly brought down on top of Robbies body them both now laying back down, the older man let out what he believed to be a squeal as Robbie rather suddenly brought him down "I love you" Robbie ran his hand through Gary's bed hair as his other arm was secured around Gary's lower back keeping him on top of his body "I love you" the younger man kissed Gary's cheek

"I love you" then kissed Gary's stubbled jaw

"I love you" placing his lips on Gary's neck and the evident hicky from their events in the woods yesterday making Gary whimper at the sensitivity, now coming level with Gary's smiling face he cupped Gary's jaw and sweetly and deeply kissed him "I love you" he finished with pulling back "let me guess...you love me" Gary chuckled running his hand down Robbies face "and I love you too, more than you could ever imagine" Gary honestly said and felt Robbies hips move up

"I'm sure you could try and show me" he seductively said biting his lip "later I promise I will later but now get your sexy body up" Gary winked planting another quick kiss on Robbies mouth before leaving his body and then going outside to greet mark and Howard

Outside

"Morning lads, good sleep" the northerner queried sitting down on a log as Mark continued to cook some form of breakfast "great sleep me! Howard even cuddled me can you believe it!!"

"Alright alright it was an accident I thought it was me misses okay!"

"I'll be your stand-in wife Howard" mark winked "we are not discussing this! Not happening" Howard blushed as he seen Robbie surface from the tent

"Not discussing what? What did I miss"

"Mark is Howard's stand-in wife" Gary chuckled as he watched Robbie walk towards him with his hoodie on, hood up, hands in short pockets looking freezing. All Gary wanted to do was hug him and give him heat but he can't in front of the lads "oh mark you cheeky bastard" Robbie giggled

God that giggle

"Tell me, is he good" Robbie suggestively raised his eyebrows, Howard hopelessly put his head in his hands not believing they were discussing 'if he was good' of course he was it's Howard! But he didn't want it discussed.

"Oh I don't know mate, he's lacking down there but apart from that I'd give him maybe 7 outta 10"

"Lacking?? Fuckin lacking? Oh Jesus Christ how would you know"

"I felt it last night sweetcheeks" mark flirted making Gary and Robbie crease with laughter "mark! Stop" Howard warned making mark hold his hands up in defeat "okay okay I'll stop...for now" that earned a growl from the older man but said nothing back "ooh what's this Gary" Mark spotted a red mark that was just visible from the northerners neck, he thought he hid it under his hoodie, clearly not.

"What's what?...oh that...yeah I met a girl before we came camping literally the night before and well she was a bit of an animal" Gary rambled out blushing a little as he rubbed over the sensitive skin hissing a little at the sting, mark studied Gary's face knowing something instantly was wrong. Gary doesn't just pick up random girls he's not that kinda guy and everyone knows that. He then looked at Robbie who was nervously bouncing his knee up and down not making eye contact with them and the angle his head was at made his neck on show, showing mark and everyone a little red mark just under his 'glasses' tattoo

Fuck Howard was right!! They're together

"Rob" Howard smirked and Robbie couldn't look at him "Robbie look at me" he repeated making Robbie look at him like a lost little boy "yeah?"

"Where'd you get the hicky from"

"I don't have one, what you talking about mate?!" Robbie instantly got defensive "oh I beg to differ, was it Gary? Hmm? Did he give you this?" Howard smirked going over to where Robbie was sat down rubbing his finger along the red skin on Robbies neck instantly making Robbie flinch "owww! Fuck off Howard! No it wasn't Gary why on earth would it be Gary!?" Robbie was angered by the sudden interrogations from mark and Howard and stormed off in the direction of the waterfall

"Well done you fuckin idiot" Gary slapped Howard on the back of the head "I'm not wrong though am I? Youse two are together aren't you" Howard asked Gary knowing the younger man doesn't lie "I'll just let you and your suspicions run high dougie, now I need to find Robbie" Gary jogged off in the same direction after his lover...secret but not so secret lover anymore

Watching Gary jog off mark and Howard look at each other and smiled "they're in love" they said at the same time "together?" Mark questioned like he was stupid

"Mark we aren't going over this again! Yes together"
