The next two - three chapters will likely be about Honeydew Inc and the crew, would like some feedback on who I should start on next :)
Toby and Martyn had geared up. Back packs full of food, torches, a small tent and more equipment They had decided over the past few days to stop off at Honeydew Inc. to pick up Martyn's gift and that they would go on a small trip and get there bearings for their new land. The sun was coming up over the horizon, a new day.
"We ready to go?" Toby asked looking at Martyn who was daydreaming as they both stood there, back packs on.
"Yeah, to the factory we go then" Martyn marched off leading the way and Toby watched him walk just for a couple of seconds, and then followed after him.
"What do you think it is?"
"What? The gift? I dunno, I know Hannah and Nilsey have left Owl Island, maybe it just some spare resources they couldn't take to where ever it is they've gone now" He replied, not thinking about it too much, he was just excited to be out with his friend.
"Yeah could be, better be something useful 'cause being out of camp for a week is a little risky"
"Risky? What do you mean?
Toby just said "Well I don't wanna come back to camp and it be overrun with like I dunno beavers."
"Beavers?" Martyn laughed as he spoke. "You think the camp will get overrun by, beavers? Come on Toby it will be fun" and Toby smiled a little because inside he admitted a week of camping place to place with Martyn would be fun at least he would stop getting annoyed at those bloody machines.
"Yeah, it will."
They both continued through the forest of Apple Oak's and the occasional Birch tree and Toby had taken the lead with Martyn only a step or two behind him. They had stopped long conversation and hour or to ago, saying only the occasional words. Martyn was aware he was looking at Toby's ass and he quickly looked away. It was dusk.
"We should set up camp" Martyn said as he looked at the fastly setting sun. Damn winter.
"Sure, I'll go get some wood you setup the tent?" Toby replied, smiling at Martyn.
"Okay, don't be long"
30-40 Minuets later
Toby returned to see the tent setup and everything ready.
"Good work"
"Thanks, hurry up and get a fire going I'm freezing"
Toby did as Martyn had told him, he made a modest fire with little struggle. They eat the last of their sandwiches and then some cake. The sun had finally set along with the cold. They both clambered into the tent. They were tired and they both settled in there sleeping bags and made little noise. Martyn lied there and heard Toby shiver in his sleep. He looked at Toby, his wonderful friend and felt sorry for him.
He unzipped his sleeping bag and then undid Toby's, careful not to wake him (which is hard to do once he's alseep) and pull it from him and fashioned them into a quilt and moved closer in hope of warming Toby up. Then he fell asleep.
Toby woke in the night he looked around and saw Martyn lying on his back next to him. There sleeping bags over them, he thought Martyn must've been cold and done it to keep them warm. He looked at Martyn in his sleep and couldn't help but sigh. He still didn't understand how he felt about Martyn but he was tired, he moved up closer and snuggled to him putting his arm across Martyn's chest and falling to sleep.
