Summer Camp (Conman/ Kleinphy fic)

Chapter Ten: Official

Jared and Connor had what they call a "long" and "unnecessarily messy" make out session.

"It's almost time for dinner." Connor sighed, pulling away from Jared, who most definitely did not want to stop. He wanted to kiss more.

"We can miss one meal." Jared chuckled, looking up at Connor. At some point during their make out session they had flopped down on Jared's bed and Connor had pulled Jared into his lap.

"I dunno, you get cranky when you're hungry." Connor smiled, lifting a hand and running it along Jared's jaw.

That was most definitely true, not that Jared would admit it.

"No way, let's kiss some more." Jared leaned forward to press their lips together once more but was met with Connor's hand, which pushed his face away.

"I'm not dealing with crabby Jared, let's go eat." Connor chuckled. Jared groaned but crawled off of Connor's lap. He went to grab Connor's hand so they could walk to the cafeteria together but Connor quickly pulled it away.

"What do you think you're doing?" Connor demanded.

"Holding your hand?" Jared scrunched up his face.

"Why? Then everyone would ask why we're holding hands." Connor frowned at him.

Oh, right. Connor didn't know that Jared had told everyone about what had happened.

Oops.

    "Ah, yes, how stupid of me." Jared nodded, heading towards the door. He opened it for Connor, who ruffled Jared's hair on his way out as a reassurance to Jared.

"You gotta keep this quiet, okay? No one should know about this." Connor instructed, shoving his hands into his pockets as he walked.

"Yeah, no problem." Jared struggled to keep up with Connor's fast pace. He was beginning to feel bad, here Connor had told him he didn't want anyone to know about them and Jared had already blabbed to all of their friends.

"You'll do great." Connor grinned at him.

    The two arrived at the cafeteria and took their seats next to the others, who were clearly dying to know what had happened. Jared had to gesture to them not to say anything.

    Connor quietly picked at his food, unaware that everyone at the table was carefully watching him.

    "So, how was your rafting trip?" Alana coughed from across the table. Jared glared at her.

    "This dick can't swim." Connor gestured at Jared with his fork, looking up from his tray. "I had to save his idiotic ass."

    "You can't swim?" Zoe began to laugh. "You always say you're awesome at everything-"

    "Shut up." Jared felt his face heat up.

    "He didn't even wear a life jacket!" Connor grinned. "Jared, did you think being awesome could save you from drowning?"

    "No!" Jared protested, but it was unheard compared to the loud laughter of everyone else at the table.

"Jared, we were required to learn to swim for fifth grade gym class." Alana pointed out.

"Yeah, well, I failed that semester, okay?" Jared huffed, crossing his arms.

"Aw, don't be mad, Kleinman." Connor teased. Jared felt Connor's foot brush against his under the table. Jared looked up at Connor and saw the other boy's eyes soften. After that Jared couldn't really find it in himself to be upset.
