Elton wiggled into the outfit for skydiving, shifting his body as he got used to it.
He saw Corey, who was staring at the ground.
Corey was gripping the sleeves of the outfit, slowly breathing.
He was clearly deep in thought.

"Corey?" Sam said, snapping his fingers in front of Corey's face.
The make flinched before looking up at the blonde.
"Yeah?"
"You're acting strange." Sam said.

Elton bit the inside of his cheek, looking at them.
Corey's eyes met Elton's before looking at Sam.
"Sorry, just kinda nervous and I'm tired..." Corey said, giving Sam a smile.

Sam looked Corey up and down before nodding.
"Okay but...if you need anything..." Sam said.
Corey nodded.
"I'm okay though."
Sam nodded.

He walked over to Colby, allowing Elton to speak to Corey.
Elton stepped closer to the younger male, not quite knowing what to say.
"I, uhm..." Elton started.
"If anybody comments saying you seem weird on the video., I'll stick up for you." Elton said quietly.
Corey gave him a light smile.

"You don't need to stick up for me, but thank you.." Corey said softly.
Elton nodded.
He rocked from heel to toe, sighing.
Corey fiddled with his fingers.

They tried to push the memories of last night away, but they didn't have any luck.
All they had was a heavy, awkward silence to fall between them.
