It was early morning, the sun was barely over the horizon when I woke up. Stifling a yawn, so I wouldn't disturb the others.
Looking at the sky through a singed hole on the roof of the tent. I couldn't help but laugh a bit at the memories.
----------
I was trying out a few ideas. Tormod had of course been all for it, Sothe on the other hand had not liked the plan all that much but tagged along anyways.
It was a simple plan. I would shoot the arrow and Tormod would light it on fire midair. Unfortunately it wasn't that simple, lighting the arrow moved it off course. It hit our tent and singed theirs. In a blessing turned curse Soren was there to put it out, but he was also there to punish us. To this day, Sothe swears he still smells of manure. All three of us actually.
Which is why he started getting up early enough to take a quick bath every morning, but obviously he never bathed alone, a sleepy redhead was always there as well. I simply joined for commodity's sake, better bathing with two my age and gender than hundreds later on in the day.
It was the perfect excuse for Sothe to see Tormod naked, and also to be close enough to touch him. Seeing as he was still groggy when they would get there, Sothe didn't think the other would notice a few unnecessary touches. And must've thought that I wouldn't mind. Although I didn't mind, I didn't need to see everything.
One morning Sothe had taken one too many privileges, resulting in a small rant on how it feels to be practically molested every day. Which the thief just grinned and asked for a sample.
Afterward Tormod wished he endured the morning gropes.
For about three weeks of stolen kisses, and too close for comfort situations. It was official that the two were together, they must've talked it out when I wasn't around, which probably wouldn't have made much of a difference since I've witnessed all the other stuff that went on.

Getting up to take my morning bath, thinking that today I'll give them their privacy. I went on my way to the river nearby, I should probably do this more often. Getting up before those two, allowed me to watch the sunrise, which looked very nice with flowers in bloom.
I don't think I've ever heard the birds sing quite as loudly as they are today. Walking up to my shared tent. Looking through the flap, only to see the two up but instead of actually getting up they were making out on the bed. I sighed and sat down on the crate I put out for just this kind of situation. I did say I was going to give them privacy this morning.

AN: I wrote this a long time ago, I was going to add to it but never actually did. So I just spellchecked and tweaked a few things. I'm kind of happy with it, although I think it should be Tormod who gets touchy feely not Sothe.
