Camping

a request from kylie_goodwin14 that I didn't know what to do with, so here's an alien DD au.

-

Julian and Chris were out camping in the woods. They had a small trailor that they'd always visit, surrounded by a ring of trees and a pond. Instead of staying in all night they decided to look outside at night.

"Woah.. look at all the stars." Julian's head turned up to look at the sky. "Yeah.. they're pretty cool." He put his head back down, looking around at the different trees and flowers on the ground.

"No.. look at them! Look at that one! Juulian!" Chris shook Julian's arm but he didn't bother to pick his head back up.

"Julian!--" Chris was cut off by a pretty loud crash. Julian's head spun up looking in the direction the noise came from.

"What the hell was that?!"
"I don't know! You should've been paying attention when I shook your arm!"

They both yelled back and forth at each other, trying to sound sarcastically mad. Really, they were both scared out of their minds.

"Alright, alright. Should we just leave it alone?"
"Chris, we can't just leave it alone.."
"Well, what do you want to do? What if we go there and.. and whatever the thing was kills the both of us?!"
"We'll be fine, Chris! Besides, what is it gonna be? Some alien thing?"

The "alien" opened its groggy eyes slowly. He felt a warm pain on his head and put his hand on it. It was blood, or at least, it felt like it. It was nearly pitch black dark from what he could see. His eyes finally stood clear and he looked at the surroundings.. I made it.. I'm finally here after how long I've waited... The alien thought to himself. His "ears" perked up when he began to hear a soft crunching noise.

"You go check it out!"
"No, you go check it out!"

He couldn't tell what was going on from the slight ringing in his ears. All he could do was jump a bit and cover himself.

"Alright.. on the count of three we both go closer and look at it."
"One.."
"Two..."

The flashlight turned on before Chris got to three, revealing the creature in an egg shaped pod, covered in broken glass and a bit of blood. If Chris had checked on the alien sooner, it wouldn't have passed out.

"Oh.. my god.."
"What is it?!" Chris spat out.
"Shhh! I don't know, but maybe it could hear us! Be quiet.."
"What if this is a prank?"
"Why would it be a prank? It's breathing. And we're two people out in the woods, why would someone prank us?"
"..People do things."

Julian started to slide his hands under the creature, trying not to get cut by the glass.

"What the fuck are you doing, Julian?!"
"What else should we do? We can't let it die!"
Chris started to think. He had a point. Chris looked down and turned on the flashlight.

"Here, I'll lead the way."

When they got inside of the trailor, Chris started walking in small circles, putting his hands on the side of his head.
