Camping with Reese was always fun.

Their campsite was set up far from the water for when the tide came in. Blake was laying on a beach blanket in his swim trunks and sunglasses, absently reading his book but was mainly staring at Reese's figure on his surfboard, riding a wave as his blond hair glinted in the sun.

"Hey, Pierce." Turning back quickly, it was Archie. Archie and Gabe decided to tag along they had just arrived from the music festival, although they were camping with Reese and Blake, their tent would be at a safe distance. Gabe appeared shiny with sunscreen because he burned easily like Archie. "My brother in the water?"

"Like a fish," Blake stood up to walk down the beach and help Archie and Gabe set up their tent. While Archie went to screw around with Reese Blake got to hear from Gabe that he slept with Archie in San Diego, when he had come back he was covered in love bites and couldn't walk properly.

Nikki wanted to join, she would be coming later, most likely with her camcorder to capture more memories. She loved documenting everything these days. "Hey, Blake?" Gabe asked timidly.

Oh God, here comes a sex question, Blake thought to himself. "Yep?"

"Do you give Reese blowjobs?"

Blake willed himself not to blush or cringe in embarrassment. He let out a puff of breath, "tons."

Gabe was the one to blush, "but isn't it gross for you? You were originally straight."

For being such a shy guy, Gabe asked some vulgar question, but the curious and innocent guy had to ask someone and since they went way back, Blake was obligated to answer. Focusing on drawing in the sand with a twig.

"I like doing it," he said bluntly, trying not to think about his own words.

His friend sat criss-cross on his own beach blanket, "by 'tons' how many?"

This kid. "Um, it depends. During soccer season I give him a lot more because we don't have as much sex because it hurts my hips and I have practise and games. When it isn't soccer season, a couple a week."

"A couple a week?" Gabe asked with a dropped jaw and red cheeks.

Nodding, scratching out his drawing in the sand. "Let me guess, you want to give Archie head?" His crimson face let Blake know he hit the nail on the head. "A bit of advice, watch your teeth and focus on the tip. That's all you're getting from me, let's go swim now."

Blake got up and began walking to the water, Reese was walking out with his board. He looked damn fine, his skin was golden and the white scars on his back stood out and gave him a tough, rugged look. His golden hair was darker with the water and pulled back in a scraggy bun. Blake wouldn't mind sucking him off at that moment, but he settled for a quick kiss.

Gabe was still red from all the blushing, Archie touched his cheek tenderly with a devious smirk, "what were you two talking about?" The blushing teenager averted his eyes with burning cheeks. 

Internally laughing, Blake reached into Reese's pocket and pulled out his bag of little suckers and took one for himself as he handed one to Reese. Blake unwrapped his and popped it in his mouth, "blowjobs."

Archie raised his brows but didn't say anything, Reese glanced over at Blake with a sly smile, he stood behind Blake, wrapping his arms around his waist and resting his chin on Blake's shoulder. Cool water from Reese dripped onto Blake.

Reese sighed against his shoulder, "I'm hungry."

"Then come start the fire and we'll make some dinner."

Blake turned to look over at their tent and saw that Nikki was running towards them in shorts and a tank top, barefoot with her hair up. "Why are you running?" Reese asked.

"Just wanted to let you know Dory is bringing our tent. I told him I'd be camping with you guys."

Reese's arms squeezed around Blake. Sure enough, Doria set up their tent in between the two, within hearing distance of whatever "alone time" they had planned. He walked over and greeted everyone, giving Archie a dirty look.

With a tight smile, "when did you two get back?" 

Gabe smiled, "today." Archie didn't bother removing his hand from Gabe's.

Dory went to say something but Nikki put a hand on his shoulder and glared at him. She looked around at everyone else with a forced smile, "we're here to have fun, right, guys? After all, it's our precious summer before sophomore year."

Blake was grateful Nikki was there to keep Dory in check, he grinned, "yeah, guys, when it gets dark, I brought some little fireworks to set off."

"Is that even legal?" Gabe asked.

Snorting, "who cares? Let's have some fun."

The six of them sat around a fire that was in the middle of the three tents. Sitting on blankets as they roasted hot dogs, kebabs, and some of the fish Reese caught earlier. "Have your guys' parents brought up the 'college talk' yet?" Nikki asked as she made up a kebab.

Blake laughed, "Oh yeah, they want me to go to Stanford, become a lawyer like Pops." He leant against Reese who was cooking them fish while Blake munched on a pineapple and chicken kebab. 

Reese rubbed his cheek against Blake's head, "my parents just asked if I was interested in going. I want to be a marine biologist, so they are already surprised that I have an inkling of what I want to do with my life."

Archie snickered, "same here, Mom and Dad asked me the same thing when I was your age."

Gabe snuggled under his arm, muscles jumping in Dory's arm when he saw it but Nikki jabbed him with a skewer. Gabe sighed, "Mom doesn't care what I study, but she did ask where I planned on applying."

Dory rubbed his eyes, "I plan on going abroad."

The fire crackled and popped, everyone was talking about random things and I was relaxing. After dinner, they roasted s'mores then played with sparklers and fountain fireworks. Nikki caught the fun on her camcorder, it was nice to be with everyone again, it had been a while since they all hung out without a care.

If only it could always be summer.
