Summer Camp (Conman/ Kleinphy fic)

Chapter Thirteen: Stud-Muffin

    The next morning the boys' alarm went off at 6:00, like usual.

    Except this morning wasn't usual, as Jared had slept in Connor's bed that night.

    Waking up next to a still sleeping Connor was the best fucking experience of his entire life, hands down.

    "When are you guys getting up?" Evan complained, already getting dressed. "We're gonna be late for breakfast."

    "We're always late for breakfast, accept it, Ev." Jared hopped out of bed and headed for a dresser. Evan stopped and stared at Jared.

    "Jared, are those hickeys?" Evan scrunched up his face. Jared slapped his neck in an awkward attempt to hide them. He felt his face heat up.

    "You can't even talk, I saw you shirtless on Zoe's bed." Jared hissed, angrily grabbing his clothes. Evan nervously glanced up at Connor to see if he was going to say something.

Luckily, Connor was still out cold.

"That's not what it looked like." Evan's ears turned scarlet.

"Oh, please elaborate." Jared couldn't help but smirk. "What is this reasonable explanation of how you were sitting shirtless on the girl you're dating's bed?"

"Well." Evan gulped. "We, um. We, uh."

"You have a way with words, Ev." Jared snorted, pulling on a t-shirt and cargo shorts. "But I'm gonna let you off the hook, we have to get Connor up and I don't think he'd take kindly to your bullshit story." Evan didn't say anything, just shuffled over to put on his shoes, clearly embarrassed.

    Jared reached up to the top bunk and poked Connor. "Hey, get up."

    Connor groaned but otherwise didn't show any other signs of rising.

    "Yo stud-muffin, time to wake up." Jared poked him again.

    This earned a laugh from Connor, "Stud-muffin?" He asked.

"What, you don't like it?" Jared leaned on the bed.

"No, I love it." Connor sat up and stretched.

"Alright, stud-muffin, it's time to get ready." Jared snickered.

"Fine." Connor sighed, jumping off the bed. "Hey, Evan." Evan worriedly looked up from his shoes. "Is Zoe still mad at us?"

    "Kinda." Evan shrugged. "At least, I think so."

"Alright then, so we'll have to make up with her during breakfast." Connor nodded, stepping out of his pajamas.

    "I dunno, she seemed pretty pissed." Jared tried not to look when Connor pulled his shirt off.

    "At you, you're the one who's gotta apologize." Connor snorted, throwing on his clothes.

    "Hey, she's just as mad at you as she is at me." Jared crossed his arms.

    "Are we ready to go-" Evan began.

    "Yeah, yeah." Connor huffed, still staring at Jared. "No way, she's angrier at you because you spilled the beans on her relationship." The grouped headed out the door.

    "But you said that she had no right to hide her relationship from you." Jared argued back.

    "Guys-" Evan sighed.

    "Telling a secret is worse because you violated her trust." Connor cockily raised an eyebrow.

    "Don't give me that bull crap, I didn't break anybody's trust." Jared frowned.
