Imagine:
Shawn's POV:
It can't get any more clichéd than this. We finish dinner and lounge around in the communal room, sitting close by the fire. It's stormy outside and there's no Wi-Fi available in this old lodge, so we're all talking and playing rounds of "Cheat" until someone gets sick of it.

Cam throws his cards down in defeat. "Yo, who's idea was it to put this whole camp thing together anyway? It's the lamest thing I've ever committed to."

Everyone joins in and moans, and deep inside I find it pathetic, but the fact that I'm paired with Y/n kinda makes things better.

"Shawnie boy's obviously not complaining," I hear before the guys whistle and howl like wolves. All of a sudden, there's real wolf noises from outside, scaring the girls a little.

"I'm sure it's nothing," I say, but no one's convinced.

Jack flashes a torchlight at each of us. "You know what that means. We should go hunting. Better than being stuck in this old lodge."

"Yeahh, let's go," Cam says. "But what about old Williams? He won't let us go out."

"Relax, if he let Shawnie and Y/n share a room together then he's chill about us adventuring. Anyways, this is "Confidence Camp" right? A great way for us all to bond."

I can't believe we're doing this, but at the same time I'm glad we're doing something fun instead of rotting away like the lodge. I pull the cap of my jacket down and hear a laugh behind me.

   "Don't you look goofy."

I yank the cover off my head and blush. I see Y/n kitted out with wellies and a yellow mackintosh. How can someone look so good wearing wellies?

I laugh. "And you? You're going to draw the wolves wearing that thing."

"It's the only thing I have that's waterproof... actually." She turns around and reaches inside her bag for a thinner waterproof jacket and changes into it. She digs a hat out and pulls it over her ears. "Is this better?"

 shrug. "But it's cold outside. "You'll get sick if you're soaked."

"Even better, I don't have to participate in these stupid activities with you."

Ouch. "Thanks Y/n, really appreciate it."

"Wait, I didn't mean it like that."

"Whatever," I mutter and head downstairs to join the others. I pull my jacket's cap over my head and linger behind Cam.

"Right. How many of us going then?" Jack asks.

"You, me, Shawn, Y/n, and Jake," Cam replies.

"Well what are we waiting for? Let's go hunting for wolves."

I feel a nudge behind me and I turn around. "There aren't actually any here, right?"

I smile. "No, don't worry."

We trek along a trail against the rain and winds. The cold eats at my ears and numbs them. I look to the side and Y/n's dragging herself through puddles, shivering a lot.

"Someone's cold."

She looks up at me, her nose looking red as she sniffs. "I-I don't know-w if I want to carry on Shawn," she chatters. "It's k-kinda getting cold." She stops and presses he hands against my cheeks. My skin gets a shock from how cold they are.

"Y/n, I think you've already got hypothermia," I joke, but she doesn't react. "Did you not bring thermals?"

She shakes her head.

"Oi lovebirds! You coming or what!?" Cam yells at us. I wave him off and the three guys go round the bend.

"Hey, you should go with them Shawn, I'll just head back and-"

She falls and I reach out to her as we both land in a puddle.
