"Shut up!" Edd yells at me as I try my best to stifle a laugh. "It's not funny!" He yells again before jabbing his finger in my chest and storming off ahead of me. This time, I can't help but laugh out loud and run my hand through my hair. Wiping the sweat off of my forehead, I cup my hand above my eyes and look around us. Surrounded by nothing but trees, rocks, bushes, and more trees, I laugh harder. "What is so funny?" Edd yells, whirling around to stare at me.

"You're the one who wanted to come out here," I laugh. With his black hair tied up above his head with his tan cargo shorts and white tank top clinging tightly to his thin frame, he couldn't look more like a lost puppy if he tried to. "What did you say about getting in touch with nature?" I cock my eyebrow at him.

"I said I wanted to connect with nature not get lost in the damn woods in the middle of nowhere!" He throws back at me. "In a foreign country," he adds smacking his arm and swatting in front of his face. "With bugs!" I shake my head at how ridiculously frustrated he looks.

"That's what we're doing right?" I walk up to him, carefully watching my step among tree roots and rocks. "We're getting in touch with nature by... I don't know… getting lost and letting it guide us out." I smile and nod my head. "It's an adventure. That's what you wanted, right?" I ask, laying my hand down on his shoulder.

"Kevin, I wanted to spend time together," he shakes my arm off. "Not get lost in the woods." His eyes drift from my face and wander to the ground and eventually the sky. The trees are taller than the ones we are used to seeing in the city or even out in the forest preserves, maybe even the country. They have to be at least three stories high and they all look so different: some look like the ones we see every day back home while others look completely foreign and maybe even mystical; don't let me get started on the leaves and bushes.

The animals are a different story.

Sure there are the everyday animals out here like birds, snakes, and even spiders, but who can honestly say they've seen toucan at least once in their lives. I can now because I read about them in one of Edd's magazines. There are even monkeys and blue fucking frogs, let me say that again, blue fucking frogs. This place is great. I don't know why he's spazzing out but we're not lost, just a little misguided. "Just take a deep breath and drink some water," I say, handing him my bottle water.

"Kevin.."

"Drink the water," I repeat and Edd rolls his eyes, grabs the bottle out my hand and takes a sip. "Thank you." I wink at him and place a quick kiss on his forehead. Edd groans and shoves my face away.

"I'm sweaty," he complains and turns his head away from me.

"Me too." I kiss him again as I snake my arm around his waist. I pull him against my side and we walk down one of the unmarked paths. Soon enough, I can feel Edd slowly relax next to me as he begins to eventually start pointing things out around us, and I can't help but smile. I rub his arm up and down as he leans his head against my shoulder.

"Kevin," Edd suddenly calls out to me and I hum, looking down at him. "We're not having sex in the woods." I throw my head back and laugh, scaring off the few birds that were perched on branches around us. I grab his arms and drag him down to the forest floor, pinning him under my body, lightly trailing my hand up and down his torso. "Kevin!" He smacks at my hand.

"Didn't you say you wanted to… oh, what was it.. connect with nature?" I kiss him on the neck and slip my hand under his tank top. "What better way than going wild!" I lightly bite him on his neck and he squeals, laughing, music to my ears.
