Into Town (Part 1)

AN: this chapter will follow the events of the episode (with the addition of (Y/n))

3rd POV
"GO~OD MORNING GWEN!" David's called out as he enthusiastically threw the front door of the cabin open. "Today is fire safety/ political history day!"
Gwen groaned and sat up in her bed. "David, I don't think it's a wise idea to do both on the same day-,"
"Nonsense, Gwen!" David strutted over to where you were still sleeping on an air mattress next to David's bed. He bent over and shook you gently.
"How the hell is she still fast asleep?" Gwen  said in astonishment.
"I suppose it just doesn't affect her anymore. And besides-," David turned around to face Gwen with a very serious look, "the last time I tried to surprise her didn't go so well..."
Gwen rolled her eyes and reluctantly got out of bed.
"I'll leave you two to change, I'll be outside setting up if you need anything!" David called out as he left.
(Y/n) sat up and let out a yawn, stretching her arms about her head before getting out of bed.
"Good morning, Gwen." (Y/n) greeted Gwen as she reached for her suitcase.
"I fail to see anything good about it." Gwen grumbled. "How is it possible for someone to sleep through David's morning nonsense!?"
"Eh," (Y/n) shrugged, "I've slept over at David's house countless times. When your around him that often you get used to his weirdness."
Gwen cocked an eyebrow and smirked, "Countless times, huh?"
"Oh- god I didn't mean it like that." (Y/n) laughed and hit her playfully with a shirt.
"I can't imagine anyone sleeping with David, anyways." Gwen added, "I'm 90% sure he doesn't actually know what sex is."
"I can neither confirm nor deny it." (Y/n) replied.
The two girls laughed to themselves and continued to get dressed before heading outside and helping David. After everything was done and the kids had woken up, David excused them to have a little free time. Gwen headed back to the cabin, while (Y/n) decided to help QM out in the kitchen.

"MAX PUT THAT DOWN- NIKKI NO! THE KIDS ARE RIOTING HEEEEELP!!" David screamed.
(Y/n) bursted through the doors of the mess hall and looked around to see David wrapped up in a banner and partly on fire. The camp was a wreck and the kids were all scattered and running around. David turned to (Y/n) with a defeated look.
      (Y/n) giggled and patted his cheek, "Davey, I'll handle this, you go clean yourself up."
      Without a word, David sadly dragged himself back to the cabin.
__________
      "What did I say? I said don't do fire safely camp and political history camp on the same day unless you reeeeally want it to turn into riot control camp." Gwen said without looking up from her book.
     David whimpered in response.
      "Go. Get out of here."
      "What-,"
     "You're not doing anyone any good if you keep letting Max get to you like this." Gwen said, gesturing to David current state. "Take a break. I'll cover underwater basket weaving tomorrow. Take the campmobile and get outta dodge for a day. Reset! You can even take (Y/n) with you."
    Gwen tossed David the keys to the campmobile and he looked down at them in confusion.
     "What... should I do?"
     "How the hell should I know? Go into town and do... whatever it is that you do to blow off steam before you kill someone."
     "That's... not a bad idea."
     David smiled to himself as headed towards the door.
     "You're still on fire, b-t-dubbs." Gwen called out.
      "Thank you."
__________
     "(Y/n) I need your help with something. Do you mind going into town with me today?" 
     "Sure Davey. What for?" (Y/n) replied as she wet a towel in the sink to clean David's face with.
     "I'll explain everything when we get there, but bring a spare change of clothes." 
      "Today's activity seemed pretty hectic. Is it always like that with these kiddos?"
    David sighed, "Well... not all the time. They're a well behaved bunch for the most part until-," He stop mid sentence and hurried his face in his hands.
     (Y/n) walked over to where David said and patted his back.
      "I'm sure things will get better with Max, Davey. Don't stress over it too much"
      "I know, it's just sometimes he drives me insane."
      "You are certainly one to talk, Mr. 'I burst through the door at 5am to wake up my co-councilor'" (Y/n) teased. "Now look up so I can clean your face."
     David smiled at (Y/n) as she help the cold, wet towel to his face. She was so focused on getting all of the grime and soot off and hadn't realized she had leaned in closer to where is her arm hadn't been in the way, one one them could've easily leaned in and kissed the other.
"Aaaaaand... all cleaned!" (Y/n) said, placing the now dirty towel on the table next to them and backing away from him.
She looked over David's face, ensuring she hadn't missed any sports. Her eyes trailed from his cheeks to his lips, then up to his eyes to see him staring back at her in admiration.
"What?" She chuckled.
"Oh! Sorry..." David looked down at his hands in embarrassment then back up at (Y/n). "I just realized how much you've changed since we were kids..."
"Well both of us have changed a great deal over the years, Davey."
"Yeah, but something feels... new."
"Hm?"
David blushed, unsure where he was going this this conversation. "Never mind, let's go grab our stuff and head into town." With that, David awkwardly left the mess hall.
(Y/n) watched him go with a thoughtful look on her face and held her stare at the door for a moment after David was gone. Noticing this, Nikki made her way over to (Y/n) and propped herself up on the table next to her.
"Hell~ooo! Earth to (Y/n)?" Nikki said, waving her hands in front of (Y/n) face.
(Y/n) blinked twice. "What- Oh, hi Nikki."
Nikki giggled, "You looked like you were having a staring contest with the doors."
"Did I? Must've been lost in thought."
"You're strange, (Y/n)."
(Y/n) smiled and ruffled Nikki's hair.
"I'll take that as a compliment." She said before heading out the mess hall herself.
