The flashlight remained in his tent as Rin shifted to Ritsu for the time being. She was alone, hopefully no one would come in. "This is so much harder than what I thought..." She spoke softly to herself. "The most challenging part is keeping quiet." She recalled today's events. "And Mio..." She added quickly. 'Who knew the girl had that side of her.'

She turned to the side to remove her contacts. It would be bad if she slept with them on. She placed them into her bag and locked it safely away. It would be a problem if someone found out her secret too early.

The brunette planned on what to do after this camping trip. She would have to lay low as Rin and keep up her identity as Ritsu. Not to mention she'd have to make up all the assignments she missed for a week.

"This sucks." She said quietly as her mind contemplated on the current situation. Her hands moved to the back of her head. "How did it end up being this way..."

She slowly got up and opened her tent to check on the other girls. The lights were out indicating that they were probably asleep. Her head retreated back into her little dome. "So they did end up sleeping." She checked the phone in her pocket. "Why do boy's shorts have to be so baggy." She complained before holding it in her hand - It was past ten. Ritsu sat in her tent and rummaged through some things in her bag. For some reason she wouldn't be sleeping early tonight.

The lights remained off in Mugi's quarters. Today was intense, so many things happened. She was still unsure about how she felt towards Ritsu. Earlier during truth or dare she had responded 'yes, she liked someone.' When Rin gave her a subtle kiss she blushed the hardest she'd ever done in her life. 'Do I like Ritsu?' Her mind pondered. She remembered feeling slightly jealous when the Mio and Rin went exploring on their own. "You can't feel this way." She told herself quietly. "You just can't." She turned to the side and pressed her head against the pillow.

Mio lay still in her tent. The sheets remained cloaked ontop of her body. As she concentrated on sleeping she could hear the noises of crickets, birds and the wind blowing from outside. Her eyes blinked open as she hid underneath the blanket. 'It's impossible. After that scary story Rin told tonight I can't seem to fall asleep.' She breathed into the blanket slowly. "Ritsu...I wish you were here right now." She spoke softly to herself.

Yui and Azusa attempted to sleep in their tent. The little guitarist seemed to be doing well, but she could faintly feel her senpai staring her down. Her eyes instantly opened as she turned to see Yui watching her.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Azusa had slightly irritated look on her face.

"I can't..." She spoke softly. "Plus it's entertaining watching you sleep." A smile played across her face.

"Yui-senpai, is it because of Rin's story?"

"Umm..."

"You didn't actually buy it did you? It's probably just made it up." Azusa assured her.

"Of course it was.." Her mind pondered on its credibility. "But what if it's real?"

"It's not, he just wanted a good scare." She turned to her back.

"What about tonight's game?"

"What about it?"

"Do you think Mio got jealous of Mugi during spin the bottle?"

"Of course she did. She likes Rin and Rin likes her. It would've been weird for her to see him kiss another girl." She looked up at the tent. "Especially if that girl was your close friend."

Yui moved to lay on her back. "True."

The girls continued to chat about the day's events as the night went on.

The thing that Ritsu rummaged for was a black headband. She didn't really like having her bangs down so much. It didn't look anything like what the drummer usually wore. It lifted her brown hair exposing her forehead.

"Much better" she said quietly. "I wonder how Mio's doing. I hope she doesn't have a panic attack any time soon." She remained concerned as she lay in her tent with the flashlight on.

Mio clamped her ears to block out the strange noises. When she realized that she couldn't take it anymore she sat up. Her body moved to open the tent, everyone seemed to be asleep except...Rin. She could see his place lightly illuminated with his flashlight. 'So he's still awake?'

Her hands reached for her shoes and flashlight as she decided to visit him.

Mugi sat upright as she couldn't sleep. She'd tried everything, counting sheep, thinking until her mind grew exhausted, nothing worked. Her hand reached for her phone as she decided to text Rin.

- Rin? -

He didn't reply until two minutes later.

- Mugi? What's up? -

- I can't sleep... -

- Why not? -

- I...don't know. -

- You want me to sleep with you? -

She blushed at his response.

- I'm just kidding, you know that right? - He replied quickly.

- Of course.. - she tried to calm herself down.

- Imagine if I did though, everyone would get the wrong impression in the morning. Hahaha -

- Yeah... - He was right.

- So... -

She waited for him to continue.

- Do you want me to text you until you fall asleep? -

She smiled at the thought of it. Maybe it would work.

- Yes, please. -

The pianist imagined him grinning on the other side of the phone as they continued messaging each other.

"Do you think everyone's really asleep?" Yui asked Azusa.

The little guitarist yawned. "Yes" she said slowly. She was starting to feel drowsy. "Yui- senpai, i'm going to sleep now. Goodnight." She turned to her side as her eyes closed.

"Goodnight" Yui yawned as well. She felt tired as after their conversation. The guitarist turned to her side and fell into a deep slumber.

Ritsu waited for Mugi's response, she no longer texted back. "I guess she's already asleep." She spoke quietly.

Just then she heard footsteps approaching her tent. She readied herself for whoever it would've been.

"R-Rin?" Mio asked from outside.

'Mio?' Ritsu thought. She opened the entrance with the zipper shifting back to Rin.

He squinted to look at her dimly lit face. She looked scared. He motioned her to enter and sit down with him.

The bassist looked at him, he seemed different. She immediately took note of the black headband. "So you wear headbands?"

He felt his hair. 'Oh no, I forgot to take it off!'

"It looks good on you." It made him look like an athlete.

He gave a nervous smile. 'Relax, just relax.'

- So what's wrong? Did something happen? -

"No, I just, couldn't sleep." She spoke softly.

They sat across from each other as they talked.

- What can I do to help? -

"I just want to stay with you for a while." She looked down. "If that's ok with you..."

He stayed seated and stretched. It didn't take long for him to fall back onto the ground. - Stay as long as you want, but it would probably be best if you avoid sleeping in my tent. I mean, the other girls might get the wrong impression. -

"O-Of course." She blushed as he lay on the ground.

- You can lay down if you want to, I don't bite...much -

She smiled and took the spot beside him. His headband was starting to bug him so he tossed it aside. His touseled brown hair made its way back down. Rin rubbed his eye with his left hand.

'He must be getting sleepy by now.' She thought.

He took the blanket and covered the two of them before he closed his eyes. Mio moved to him, she could feel the warmth emitting from his body. He noticed that the gap between them had closed and he opened his eyes slowly. She looked at his unruly bangs as it covered his forehead. Her head adjusted to his chest. She felt secure and safe being around him. He placed his right hand on her back as he closed his eyes once more. His chest rose and fell with every breath. His heartbeat remained calm, while hers sped up. His head slowly slumped onto hers.

She moved her body upwards to meet his face. There were times when he looked so pretty, as if he were a girl. The flashlight flickered twice before it died out. It was difficult to make him out in the darkness. He adjusted himself slowly and brushed his lips onto her long raven hair while his hand moved down to her waist.

Her heart quickened faster at his actions. 'Is he really asleep?' She thought to herself.

Rin turned his body to the side placing the other hand over the sheets and onto her body. Mio was so close to him that she could feel every slight movement. He held her so close that she could smell the fresh linen scent from his shirt. His hands were soft and gentle as he embraced her.

Rin could faintly smell the sun from Mio's hair. He felt her chest pressed so closely to his. Her eyes started to drop slowly, it just felt so comfortable to be in Rin's arms. She tried her best to fight the urge to sleep until it remained futile and her eyes closed shut. Her heart rate decreased as she fell asleep.

Rin cracked into a small grin as the two slept together for the night.
