"Where are you going?" Rory asked.

"To the computer room." Jordan replied.

"We're in the middle of the forest, there are so many activities to do outside! Why would you stay inside?"

"The outdoors isn't really my thing."

"Interesting." Rory pondered, he's curious as to why the computer lab could be so stimulating compared to the natural outdoors.

"Can I come?"

Jordan looked at Rory with a pointed glare, Rory used the advantage of eye contact to water his pale green eyes in a devious puppy dog pout. Jordan was shocked at the sudden face, his eyes landed on his perfectly quivering bottom lip. How he'd love to see Rory beg. He shook his thoughts with an irritated sigh, he took in the face for a moment.

"Fine." He huffed.

Rory beamed with glee, he jumped up quickly and followed Jordan out of the cabin. For some reason Jordan was nervous, Rory could tell. He kept twisting his buttons and ring, or tapping his leg in repeats of three. Rory thought it was probably best not to ask, but maybe he could distract him. He quickly used his ability to stealthily steal, he managed to nab his wallet and even his watch. He couldn't believe how easily it was, it was like Jordan didn't have nerves at all.

"Lose something?" Rory asked teasingly.

Jordan didn't even try to look for his wallet, he held out his hand expectantly. After a moment he realised Rory hadn't gave it back and he looked down with a raised brow.

"Aren't you going to give it back?"

"Now, where would be the fun in that?"

Before Jordan even registered what he'd meant the little ginger ran off as quick as his little legs would take him. Jordan quickly ran after him, he was surprised how fast Rory was but after a minute or two his long legs had caught up, Rory turned around before walking backwards facing Jordan with a teasing grin. He held up his wallet.

"Well? Are you going to come get it or what?" He said breathlessly.

"Oh, you're going to regret this." Jordan laughed.

Rory laughed and quickly began running again, he ran behind a tree as Jordan followed. Rory continued to let Jordan chase him around the tree for a while, laughing every time Jordan's fingers grazed his arms or pulled gently on his clothing. Rory was feeling slightly breathless, he slowed down a little but Jordan wasn't tired yet. He saw the boy slow and quickly snatched him up in an embrace, covering his small figure with his large frame.

"Got you." He whispered with bated breath.

"You sure did." Rory laughed.

"Now hand me my wallet." He ordered, his breath fanning Rory's neck.

Jordan's gentle demand sent a shiver down Rory's spine but he chose to ignore it, he's having too much fun.

"I can't."

"And why not?"

"Because you're still holding me tightly." He laughed.

Jordan blushed a little and let go. He hadn't realised he'd held on so tightly. Like it'd be the only time. Rory turned to see Jordan with a bashful expression and slight blush tinted his light chocolate skin. Rory's breath hitched he's never seen such a large man blush before, especially someone like Jordan who oozes confidence. Rory still panting slightly handed Jordan his wallet, Jordan pocketed it with a laugh.

"Now, what else is missing?" Rory stated with a menacing laugh, backing away slightly.

"Jesus Red, what now?" Jordan laughed.
