Summary: I took all the explanations from the show and came up with my version of what happened in the tent!


What Happened In The Tent

"Ah!" Jude laughed, leaning away from Connor as the other boy moved his marshmallow away from the fire and onto his s'more. He was getting it problematically close to Jude's jacket.

"What, you don't want marshmallow all over your jacket?" Connor teased, moving his marshmallow stick closer to Jude.

"Connor, I swear," Jude threatened, moving back, lifting his arm away from the sticky, sugary blob.

"What are you gonna do?" Connor pressed, lifting the stick slightly. Jude shook his head at his friend, then bent quickly, biting the marshmallow. Jude sat up straight, laughing as Connor looked at him, frowning.

"Now, finish it, or I'll put it in your hair!" Jude threatened. Connor rolled his eyes and put the half-eaten marshmallow back on the s'more, not caring that Jude took a bite.

"Okay! Everyone finish your s'mores and then head to your tents! We'll be around to check in a few minutes!" Lena called to all the seventh graders.

"Hurry it up, Stevens!" Jude teased, rushing his friend to finish the s'more he was shoving in his mouth. Jude burst into laughter at the sight of Connor with half a s'more hanging out of his mouth, attempting to eat it. "Oh, god, you're gonna choke!" Jude told him, covering his mouth as Connor quickly chomped down the s'more, speaking through the last bit.

"Alright," he swallowed. "Let's go!" he threw down the stick and stood up, hopping on the log and leaping over it. Jude followed him, laughing and stepping over the log. The two walked to their tent, talking of the kids at the campfire and their odd stories and s'more eating contests.

"He looked like he was doing Chubby Bunny with s'mores!" Connor commented.

Jude nodded in agreement, laughing. "He had like four in his mouth at once, I can't even figure out how he did that!" he spoke, unzipping the tent and walking in, Connor following behind him. Connor closed the tent behind him and the two moved around the tent, getting ready for lights out. Even though they would stay up talking all night, like they had the previous ones.

"You done?" Jude asked, sitting down on his sleeping bag. He watched Connor nod, the light from the lantern lighting his features. Jude took a small breath, watching Connor for a second, them turning out the light and moving underneath his sleeping bag. He listened to Connor shuffle around before slipping into his as well.

Jude turned away, closing his eyes for a moment. Jude knew he was really starting to like Connor. But, he also knew that Connor's dad was already strict about their friendship for thinking Jude was gay, so the boy would never admit it. He heard the sound of the tent opening, and opened his eyes again, seeing the light shine in.

"Goodnight, boys," Lena whispered.

"Goodnight," Jude and Connor spoke back in sync. The two waited for the tent to close and till they heard Lena's footsteps leave, before turning toward each other and sitting up.

"Hey, you wanna play a game?" Connor asked, turning toward his backpack and pulling out his phone. Jude nodded, smiling at his friend and watching Connor tap on his screen. Jude watched Connor's face come into view from the dim light of the phone screen. Connor's eyes were narrowed in concentration as he tapped his fingers against the screen. His hair was flat against his head, his mouth was slightly open and his tongue was sticking slightly through his teeth. He was so... cute. Jude shook the thought away. He couldn't think of Connor like that.

"Truth or Dare?" Connor asked, looking up from his phone and meeting Jude's eyes.

"Sure," Jude decided. He smiled as Connor grinned and opened the app. Connor looked up at Jude.

"Truth or dare?" He asked.

"Truth," Jude instantly decided. What was the point in doing a dare when they couldn't really do much without waking anyone up. Connor tapped on the truth button and then looked up grinning.

"Does Jude have a crush?" he asked, stretching out the last word and laughing a bit. Jude's face heated up and he looked away.

"Yeah," he answered softly, avoiding looking at Connor's eyes. He heard Connor laugh and felt a tap on his knee. He looked over at Connor who still had the grin plastered on his face.

"It's alright, Jude, I won't pressure it out of you. You tell me when you want to," Connor told him, shrugging. Jude smiled and nodded. "Okay, your turn," Connor spoke, handing the phone to Jude.

Jude tapped his finger against the screen. "Truth or d-"

"Dare."

Jude clicked dare and looked up, repeating the words, laughing. "Touch your nose with your tongue, if you can't you have to touch another player's - mine - nose with your tongue," he explained, laughing as Connor nodded.

"I must complete the challenge," he said. Connor stuck his tongue out of his mouth and turned it upward, crossing his eyes to look at his tongue. He attempted to bring his tongue further out of his mouth and touch his nose, but his tongue seemed to be too short. Jude laughed as he watched his friend struggle. "Ugh, I give up, Stay still," he told Jude. Jude laughed and made himself stay as still as possible. Connor leaned forward, so they were inches apart. He lifted his head so his mouth was level with Jude's nose then stuck his tongue out and touched the tip to Jude's nose.

"Ew!" Jude squeaked as Connor moved away, laughing. Jude lifted his arm and rubbed his nose on the sleeve, trying to get rid of Connor's spit on it. Connor was still laughing, trying to keep himself composed and quiet. He reached forward and grabbed the phone from Jude's lap and tapped his finger against it.

"Truth or dare?" Connor questioned, giving Jude a dramatic look.

"Hmm," Jude paused. "Dare," he decided finally. Connor grinned and pressed the button.

Connor paused, rolling his eyes and picking another dare. "Why do most of these need like three people," Connor mumbled, then settled on one. He laughed, then looked up. "For the rest of the night, start all your sentences with 'All hail Queen Nefertiti,'" Connor told him, laughing still.

"Dammit," Jude mumbled.

"Ah, ah, ah," Connor corrected him.

Jude rolled his eyes and sighed. "All hail Queen Nefertiti, dammit," Jude said, laughing at his own speech.

"Oh, this is gonna be fun," Connor laughed, then gave the phone to Jude.

"All hail Queen Nefertiti, truth or dare?" Jude asked, glaring at Connor, who's laughter was subsiding.

"Truth," Connor answered.

Jude tapped the screen and read the truth off the screen. "All hail Queen Nefertiti, have you ever lied to your best friend?" Jude asked, looking at Connor, raising his eyebrows. He was interested in the answering, knowing that he, himself, was Connor's best friend.

Connor answered immediately. "Yes, and you know when that was," Connor spoke, looking down. Jude frowned. He knew Connor felt guilty about lying to him at the party about standing up to his dad.

"All hail Queen Nefertiti, yeah," Jude informed, looking down. He handed Connor his phone back.

"Jude, I'm really sorry," Connor told him, looking at Jude with wide eyes.

"All hail Queen Nefertiti, I know you are," Jude answered. "And I said it was okay."

"You can stop saying it. And it's not okay," Connor decided, moving closer to Jude so their knees were touching.

"Yes, it is," Jude fired back.

"No, it's not. I should have stood up to my dad! I should have told him that I don't care if you're gay. I shouldn't have let him come between us. And, I shouldn't have tried to play the pity card, about how I don't have a say in anything. I'm really sorry, Jude. You're my best friend and I should have done so-"

"Connor, it's fine," Jude cut him off, placing his hand on Connor's arm. "I forgave you already. I just didn't tell you 'cause, I was kinda silent, you know," Jude explained. "I know you're sorry. I know you feel bad, but it was just a bump in the road. We're best friends, and nothing is gonna change that," Jude finished. Connor smiled, looking at Jude's hand on his arm.

"Jude..." Connor whispered.

"Yeah?" Jude asked, dropping his hand.

"Nothing will change it, right?" Connor asked, looking up at Jude. Jude nodded, not sure where he was going.

"Nothing," Jude confirmed.

"Okay... okay, good... because," Connor paused, fidgeting with his fingers. He was nervous. Jude had picked up on the small things Connor did when he was nervous, and Connor always fidgeted when he was nervous. Connor met Jude's eyes then finished. "Because, I have to do something, and I don't want it to ruin anything," Connor told Jude.

Jude's heart picked up speed. What was Connor getting at? He gulped and then looked at Connor. "It won't. Whatever it is, we can g-" Jude's eyes widened as Connor leaned forward and pressed his lips to Jude's. It wasn't Jude's first kiss, he had kissed Maddie during their game of Spin the Bottle at the party. But, this was different. It took Jude a moment to register before he kissed Connor back. He couldn't help the smile that spread across his face as he kissed Connor. He had wanted to do this since the day at the party. And now he was finally doing it. And Connor had initiated it, and it wasn't for a game. He felt Connor's hands on his waist and Jude hesitantly placed his hands on Connor's shoulders.

The two pulled apart briefly, both of their breaths shallow. They locked eyes and suddenly Connor's lips were against Jude's again. Jude leaned back, feeling Connor leaning closer. Finally, they ended up laying against Jude's sleeping bag, Connor hovering over Jude, hands gripping his waist tightly, and Jude's hands running through Connor's hair.

I'm making out with Connor Stevens. Jude thought, feeling Connor's own smile against his lips. Their kisses were soft and long, gentle and hesitant, but hopeful. The kissing lasted a few minutes before Connor frantically pulled back. His eyes widened to what seemed like tennis balls as he pushed himself off Jude and onto his sleeping bag.

"Connor? Are y-"

"We cannot tell anyone about this!" Connor declared, panic clear in his voice. Jude faltered, sitting up.

He felt like a weight was being pressed on his chest. Why did Connor kiss him if he didn't like Jude? Jude took a breath, then looked away. "Yeah, sure. Let's just go to bed," Jude agreed. He got into his sleeping bag and turned away from Connor.

"Jude," Connor started, frowning as he realized what he said must have hurt is friend.

"It's fine Connor, whatever," Jude said. He heard Connor sigh, shuffle around into his sleeping back, then fall silent. Jude closed his eyes tightly, taking a deep breath. What had just happened?


Short and simple. Damn, I've wanted to write this for a while. Okay! Hope you guys liked it.

Here's your teaser:

"I should go. Don't need my ass whipped before my birthday," Jude whispered into the phone, a smile grazing his lips.

"No, please, wait one more minute," Connor pleaded from the other end.

"Why? We can talk in the morning," Jude reasoned.

"Please, just wait. If you love me you'll listen," Connor wagered.

"What if I don't love you?" Jude teased, smiling against the phone.

"Ha! Too late, you already told me. Unless you were lying," Connor answered, making his last sentence sound upset.

"No, of course I wasn't," Jude sighed, closing his eyes briefly. "I miss you," Jude told him.

He heard Connor sigh on the other end. "I miss you, too. Annnnnnnd, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Connor shouted into the phone. Jude laughed, hearing Connor shout "Sorry, Mom!" a moment later. He then heard Connor shuffle and speak again. "There. Now I'm officially the first one to wish you a happy birthday," Connor whispered. Jude smiled, biting his lip. He looked at his alarm, seeing it was midnight.

"Thanks, Connor. I love you," Jude told his boyfriend.

"I love you, too," Connor spoke. "Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

I'm really excited for the next one :P. Oh! And I made a new cover for this, using the picture of Jonnor holding hands *squeals*. ANYWAY.
