I do not own Bunk'd. This oneshot is a continuation of the oneshot Sleepy Summer from the You're the Reason collection.

A sleepy breeze drifted over the meadow and gently woke Lou. She inhaled deeply. As she exhaled, her eyes fluttered open. She reached up to scratch her nose and then dropped her hand back to her side. Beneath her fingers she felt the wispy grass.

"Grass?" she yawned.

Her eyes adjusted to the early night darkness. Above her, stars were sprinkled across the wide sky. Another breeze drifted over her and she finally realized she was not looking at the sky through the glass of her cabin's window. She wasn't in her cabin at all.

"How did I get outside?" she mumbled as she shifted in the overgrown grass beneath her. She sat up on her elbows and glanced to one side. Nothing but grass towered over her and there were a few tiny insects hovering around. She didn't bother looking in the other direction. She was familiar with her grassy hiding place. But she didn't remember making her way here. The last thing she remembered was escaping the ropes of the kayak that a group of crazed campers had tied her to.

"Rugrats," she muttered at the memory.

It was the last week of camp, so the campers had completely lost their minds; the CITs were panicked and offered little help; and the counselors were barely holding on by a thread. It was chaos. It didn't help that Gladys was even less helpful than usual as a leader. The camp director's heart had been broken last month by the insurance adjuster that she had been seeing at the beginning of the summer and the woman had yet to recover. That meant the counselors were on their own as the last days of summer made the kids loopy loonies.

"Just make it a few more days, Lou," she encouraged herself.

She relaxed her elbows and laid back onto the grass. She loved being able to see so many stars, but she still didn't know how she got out there. She smirked and lazily rolled her eyes as she thought at least she had finally gotten some real sleep. Between making sure Zuri and Tiffany didn't destroy the camp with their evil genius plans and keeping Xander from having a breakdown because the end of summer meant the end of him chatting with Emma for several months, she could barely close her eyes at night. It also hadn't helped that Lydia kept leaving "surprises" under her pillow.

"Slugs," she shuddered.

But she felt better now, having got some rest.

"Nothing like a nap in the wilderness to keep from going cuckoo bananas," she sighed happily.

She closed her eyes and listened to the peaceful sounds of the early night. Her brow furrowed when she heard a noise that was neither a cricket or a breeze through the tall grass. It sounded like soft snoring. She turned to look beside her and tilted her head. Her breath caught in her throat. How had she not realized that her friend was quietly sleeping beside her.

"Ravi?"

He sniffled but he didn't wake. Lou's breathing returned to normal. She stared at him while she tried to remember when she last saw him. She didn't remember him when she had escaped from the kayak. In fact, she didn't remember seeing him for most of the week. If she didn't know better, she would have thought he had been avoiding her. But she knew he wouldn't do that. They were friends. And she assumed he enjoyed spending time with her as much as she enjoyed spending time with him.

"Guess you needed some rest too," Lou whispered. She smiled sweetly at her friend as he continued to sleep soundly.

Lou had been a counselor for a while now, so the end of summer was always rough. But for the first time she had actually felt a little more than just annoyed at the campers for being so wild. She was sort of peeved that instead of spending the last week of camp with her favorite people she was busy scrubbing "paint surprise" out of the hair of several members of bunny cabin.

"Who even gave them all that glitter glue and neon green paint," she said quietly to her slumbering friend.

Her eyes lingered on his face. It took a lot of effort not to chuckle. His normally neat and orderly appearance was disheveled. There was a stain on his jacket and a few stray leaves were stuck to his sleeves. His hair was messy and partly in his eyes and she had to resist the urge to brush it out of the way. He mumbled something in his sleep and sniffled again, which caused a giggle to escape from Lou's lips. She knew it was weird to stare at someone when they're sleeping, but she couldn't help it. Out of all the people that Lou wanted to spend more time with this week, Ravi was who she wanted to hang out with most. Except for, of course, Emma. Sisters before misters, but he was a close second.

"Just my luck. I finally get to see you… and you're asleep," Lou said as she rested her chin on her palm.

Lou had always liked Ravi as a friend. He made her laugh, even though his humor was sometimes sarcastic and sassy. He told her interesting facts about things she had never considered before, even if she didn't always ask to know so much about stamps. And he was easy to spend time with, even though it never seemed to be enough time to her. But something had changed this summer now that he was also a counselor. She had breezed right pass crushing on him and was now completely into him. But no one else knew that. At least, she didn't think anyone knew.

"There was that one comment Jorge made…" she whispered to herself. She remembered the Grizzly camper teasing her during their last cabin vs cabin dodgeball game and saying that Ravi was her boyfriend. She had brushed off the comment by chucking a squishy dodgeball at Jorge's leg.

Lou gazed at Ravi. She figured that if he felt the same way, he would have mentioned it by now. He had asked out every other girl that he had liked in the past without hesitation, so why would it be any different with her?

"Welp, it's probably late," Lou sighed as she continued to admire his face and enjoy being in his presence. "Time to wake up." She took a deep breath and then shouted, "Ravi! Wake up!"

Ravi's eyes flew open at the sound of her voice. He screamed, waving his arms around and twisting in the grass as if being attacked.

"Ah, no! What's happening!" he shouted.

"Classic."

Ravi heard Lou chuckle and it calmed him down slightly. His heart beat rapidly in his chest and he was still confused about his outdoor surroundings, but her laughter was enough to make him feel less frantic. He sat up and glanced around. His eyes adjusted to the darkness as the bright moon outshined the lights in the distance. As his gaze settled on her smiling up at him, his heart skipped a beat. He thought she looked extra pretty in the moonlight. There were a few strands of hair in her face that he wished he had the courage to brush out of the way. But his brain wasn't drowsy enough to give him that sort of courage. The grass of the meadow moved around them as a light wind drifted by. Its movement jolted his memory. He had tripped over Lou's outstretched feet earlier in the day as she hid in the overgrown grass from rowdy campers.

"Guess I was able to fall asleep after all," he yawned as he stretched his arms at his sides. His last memory was of Lou telling him to wake her up in an hour, but that clearly didn't happen.

"Howdy, sleeping beauty. Mind telling me what we're doing out in the middle of a field?" Lou asked brightly as she sat up beside him and crossed her ankles.

He blinked but didn't reply. He wondered if she really had forgotten what had happened earlier: That he ran away from a dangerous game of extreme tag with the Weasel cabin and tripped over Lou's hidden feet. Soon after, she fell asleep from exhaustion, but not before he confessed why he had been losing sleep over the past week.

"Do you, uh, really not remember?" He asked with nervousness in his voice. He searched her eyes for any hint of recognition, but she innocently looked back at him and shrugged. "Oh boy," he muttered as he looked away from her and focused on the ground. "You're really going to make me say it again…"

Lou felt a flutter in her chest. She sat up taller and stared at him with wide, curious eyes. She asked, "Say what again?"

Ravi felt a new tiredness. This time from the weight of his feelings instead of sleep deprivation. He had felt like a boulder had been lifted off his shoulders when he had told her the truth earlier that day. But now it was like he was starting all over again. And all those troublesome emotions were once again struggling within his chest: fear, doubt, longing, hope.

"Maybe I shouldn't," Ravi sighed as he picked at a dandelion. "There's enough going on with the campers… You should enjoy the rest of your summer without me complicating things… Especially if you didn't mean what you said."

Lou held her breath and wondered what had she said. She tried to replay the earlier part of her day in her brain, but she couldn't remember anything before escaping the kayak that the campers had tied her to at the lake. Obviously she had found solace in the meadow. And at some point, Ravi must have joined her. But her mind was empty of any conversation with him. Especially a conversation that he thought would complicate things.

"I've been so tired lately that I guess when I finally caught a break, I clocked out completely. I've got nothin'," Lou said with a shrug. "So, whatever I said… there's a good chance I honestly meant it. Or I was delusional because whatever chemical Emma used to unglue those two campers from Eagle cabin has been lingering in my nostrils for the last two days." She messed with the ends of her hair and added, "But we won't know unless you fill me in on our conversation."

Ravi looked up from the dandelion, gave her a small smile, and said, "It was more like an exhaustion-induced confession with a drowsy, semi-conscious response."

Her eyes were bright as she joked, "Well, now I have to know! Was I the response or…"? Her smile faltered and her pulse quickened. It hit her that she was the one with something to confess and if he seemed this reluctant to talk about it then she figured things didn't go well the first time. She gathered all her courage and continued, "...Or was I the confession?"

Ravi fiddled with the sleeve of his hoodie as he stammered, "You were the response." He blew out a breath through his nostrils as he looked at her with pleading eyes. "Can't this wait until tomorrow? It's obviously very late. What if we miss curfew?"

Lou ignored him. She couldn't wait until tomorrow. She didn't care about curfew. She just wanted to know what he knew. She scooted closer to him and argued, "By tomorrow, Jorge and Griff may have you covered in honey and trapped in a bear cave. I mean, better you than me. Honey gives me a rash."

"You think they'd do that?"

"I wouldn't put it past any of them."

"We really have to find a way to get these kids under control at the end of camp!"

Lou hesitated for a second before strategically placing her hand close enough to his for their pinkies to touch. She gave him her sweetest look, the one she reserved for getting him to switch chores with her. Her voice was calm as she demanded, "Ravi, tell me what happened. I want to know what you told me."

Ravi knew there was no way to back out now. Their hands were touching underneath the moonlight while they were all alone in a grassy meadow and she was looking at him with those beautiful eyes that he could happily get lost in. This is not how he imagined his evening going. He had been miserable but accepting of the fact that he would get no sleep while his heart threatened to pour out his romantic feelings if he spent more than a few minutes with Lou. So all week he had successfully avoided her, but at the expense of sleep. Until he tripped over her feet hours ago, when it was still bright and sunny, and told her as she drifted off to sleep that he wanted to be her boyfriend. And that was still true.

He inhaled through his nostrils and steadied his nerves. He used every ounce of his courage to inch his hand over hers and lock their fingers. He held her gaze and said, "You may be wondering why I've been so distant. And the truth is that I like you. Very much. And I want to be your boyfriend."

He felt his world stop as he waited for her response. She only looked shocked for a second before a lovely grin spread across her face. She beamed at him and he felt like he was watching the sun rise even though it was night.

Lou was so happy that the words tumbled out of her mouth faster than she could sift through them, "No way! Are you serious? Of course, you're serious! This is better than a goat dressed in a tutu!"

Ravi's voice squeaked with hope, "It is?"

"I want to be your girlfriend!"

"That's what you said before!"

"Really!"

"Yes!"

She looked at him with heart eyes and grinned, "And I meant it. Even though I have no memory of telling you that at all. After this week is over, I'll probably need to sleep for like a week to be at my normal levels of brain functionality. But I meant it."

"I could probably sleep through the rest of August," Ravi admitted.

Lou nodded in agreement. A moment passed. She wanted to make sure that she was clear about her feelings, so she said in a serious tone, "I want to be your girlfriend, Ravi."

Ravi couldn't stop himself from throwing his arms around her shoulders and giving her a hug. He closed his eyes as he rested his cheek against her hair. "Thank goodness. I've been a mess without sleep. Not telling you how I feel made me think about you even more than usual. Finally, I might be able to rest. You know, without passing out in a field," he said.

Lou relaxed in his embrace and hummed in agreement.
