A/N: Man, I have wanted to write a (good) Wild Kratts fanfic for SO LONG, SERIOUSLY. I actually started this fanfic on my phone-in the Handymemo, since it has a really high character limit-about a month or so ago. I got up to three chapters, four separate parts on the Handymemo, and I think now is the time to fix it up. I'm not finished yet, and probably won't be for a while, so bear (grylls) with me please.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Wild Kratts, Martin and Chris Kratt do (^w^ I 3 them)

P.S: The original title was Torture, btw.

Near and Far, Loud and Quiet

"Hey Martin! Wake up bro! You promised we would go nocturnal animal watching, remember?" The sound of his brother's voice aroused Martin from his sleep. "Right right, I'm getting up," he mumbled sleepily. He got up out of bed and began to get ready. "Don't worry about getting the gear; I've already got everything we need," a rather eager Chris informed his brother.

Martin smiled. Sometimes, he found his younger brother's over-excitement for some things too cute, this being one of those times. When he had finished dressing, he went to the bathroom and brushed his teeth and combed his hair while he listened to Chris talk about what kind of animals they might find in the thick forests of Washington, which is where they decided to do their creature watching. Once finished, they grabbed their packs and headed out into the night.

The forest where dense and reminded Chris of the forest from that Twilight movie, not he had ever seen it. "You alright back there bro?" His older brother asked, eyes on him. "Yeah, I'm good," the brunette answered. Martin shrugged and turned back to the trees. A wolf howled about a third of a mile away to their left, making the brother's eyes light up.

"Wolves!" They exclaimed quietly in unison. They ran as quietly as they could toward the sound, and once they made it Chris took pictures with his Creaturepod. Martin watched his brother with a small smile. He loved seeing his brother happy, with a gleam in his eyes and a smile on his glowing face. "What are you staring at?"

Chris asking him a question brought Martin up out of his thoughts. "Hmm?" He asked.
"I asked what your were staring at," Chris answered, a grin still on his face. "Nothing. I just like seeing you happy," Martin replied with a smile. The sound of his Creaturepod signaling an incoming message interrupted the bros' moment.

Martin opened the message, and what he saw made him blush fiercely. It was a picture message sent by an unknown person of a male's naked lower body. Martin was unable to tear his eyes away. "Martin what is it?" Chris asked the blonde, noticing his flustered expression illuminated by the light of the Creaturepod. "Ah, wha... I-it's no-nothing... Nothing at all," Martin quickly deleted the message before locking his Creaturepod and turning back to his brother.

"I haven't seen you blush like that since you accidentaly walked in on me getting dressed when we were kids. What was it?-" Chris' question was cut off by Martin's Cp going off again. Before Martin could react, Chris snatched it out of his hands and opened it. Martin could tell from the look on his face that it was the same or similar message from before. Chris quickly gave him his Cp back. Martin looked and saw that this time, there was a hand grabbing the guy's manhood, most likely his own.

He deleted it. "What the HELL was that?" Chris exploded. "I don't know! I started getting those messages just now!" Martin answered.
"And you expect me to believe that?"
"Yes!"

Chris placed his forehead on his hand. Martin noticed just then that Chris hadn't geled his hair up, and it now hung over his hand. Martin reached out and touched the soft brown locks. "You didn't put it up," he said softly.
"You noticed," Chris replied, not moving.

Martin allowed his fingers to play with his brother's hair, until Chris lifted his head and grabbed his hand by the wrist, pulling it away from his hair.
"I'm sorry for overreacting, I just... I just didn't know what to think, I mean... My brother receiving dirty messages from some guy..." Chris looked down. "And I'm sorry for not telling you. Sure woulda seemed a lot less suspicious if I had," Martin laughed lightly. Chris didn't reply. He just continued to look at the blonde's hand as he played with and held onto it.

Martin watched him silently. "Ahem." The sound of Aviva clearing her throat snapped the brothers out of their trance-like state and back to reality. They looked up at the hologram coming from Chris' Cp. "Sorry to interrupt, but I was wondering if you guys have seen my goggles. I can't remember where I left them..." Her voice trailed off as she searched her memory.

Martin chuckled. "Aviva, they're on your head," he replied. She reached up, and when she felt them she said, "thanks guys," before ending the hologram. They laughed lightly before turning back to each other. When they looked down at their hands after feeling something in them, they realized they were still holding hands and let go, Chris with a light blush on his face.

Koki looked at Aviva as she dropped a blueish liquid into and orange one. "Was it just me, or were Chris and Martin holding hands just now?" She asked her. Aviva pushed her goggles onto her head. "Now that I think about it, yeah!" She answered, "why?"
"I just... Did you see the look on Chris' face? Looked like something had happened."
"I'm sure it's nothing, Koki."

Koki looked back at the keyboard as Aviva pulled her goggles back down over her eyes. "You're probably right."

*Snap* Chris turned around at the sound of a branch snapping. He didn't see anthing due to the darkness and lack of flashlight use, so he turned back around. "You alright?" Martin asked.
"Yeah, just thought I hear something..." Chris answered, taking a glance back before he continued on. The sound of Martin's Cp announcing it had a message made Martin take it out of his pocket.

Chris jogged up to his brother and looked over his shoulder.
"Another picture message?" He asked. Martin nodded. "Yeah," he answered. He opened the message. It was a picture of them walking, and it had been taken from behind.
Chris' heart began to beat faster, and he gripped Martin's coat in fear. Martin frowned as his breathing became slightly heavier, his mouth forming the word 'what...'. A branch snapped behind them, making them whip around.

The sound of twigs breaking underfoot came from a different area every time they turned or looked there, and it was both scaring Martin and making him mad. "WHERE ARE YOU?" He yelled in anger.

"Martin..." Chris said quietly, eyes wide as a deer's caught in headlights. "Don't worry Chris, everything'll be okay," Martin replied as he lightly held onto his brother's arm.
His Cp sounded again. He took it out of his pocket and opened the message. The picture had been taken from directly behind them.

Chris accidently let out a small cry of fear. Martin's heart pounded in his ears, his eyes wide. Chris cried out once more when he felt his hair move as if someone was breathing on it. They slowly, ever so painfully slowly, turned around... and screamed.

A/N: Welp, whaddaya think? Ok? Sucks? Boring? Review please! No asshole-yness!
