A/N: Well, I decided to continue. I did like it as a one off and I hope
this doesn't spoil it, but I know where I want to go with this story.
Warning: Later chapter MIGHT involve death.
Waking Up
X-Ray watched as Squids eyes fluttered open.
"Hi," he said, standing above him, eyebrows raised.
"Hey," Squid answered, yawning.
"Have a good night?" X-Ray asked, grinning.
"What d'you mean?"
X-Rays eyes shifted their gaze. Squid followed them, and found himself face
to face with Zigzag.
"Whoa!" he cried, jumping backwards in surprise and falling off the bed in
a tangle of sheets.
The thump woke Zigzag with a start.
"What are you doing in my bed?!" Squid cried from the floor, distangling
himself from the sheets.
Zigzag looked hurt, "I was just comforting you."
X-Ray smirked.
"Oh shut up," Squid snapped.
"Not like that!" Zigzag protested, "Last night, you were upset about
something. We talked for a bit, then I guess we fell alseep."
Just then, the trumpet sounded through the camp.
X-Ray winked at them, "I'll leave you two love birds alone."
Squid scowled, pulling on his orange jumpsuit, avoiding eye contact with
Zigzag.

Squid appeared next to Zigzags hole. Zigzag stopped digging and looked at
him. Squid had a troubled expression on his face.
"What?" Zigzag asked, after Squid didn't say anything.
Squid sighed, "Nothin.'" He turned to go back to his hole.
"Squid wait!" Zigzag cried, but Squid ignored him.
"Oooh," X-Ray taunted, "Honeymoon's over."
The rest of D-Tent laughed.
Squid shot him a poisonous look.
Zigzag finished his hole at the same time as Squid, and followed him back
to the tent, pulling the finger over his shoulder as D-Tent started wolf-
whistling.
"Squid?" he asked as soon as they were in the privacy of the tent.
"Yeah?" Squid had his back to him.
"What's wrong?" He put a hand on Squids shoulder.
Squid shrugged it off, he turned to face Zigzag, "We can't do this."
"What d'you mean?"
"This. We can't... last night..."
Zigzag frowned, "Why not?"
"You heard those guys! We'll be the laughing stock of the whole camp!"
"So what?" Squid looked down at the ground, "Ziggy..."
"Squid, I love you."
Squids eyes darted up to Zigzags face, he looked shocked. "N-no one's..
ever said that to me before."
Zigzag was looking deep into his eyes and he found himself compelled to
look back.
Zigzag lent in, his lips coming closer and closer, until they were only
centimeters apart... then Squid pulled away.
"What?" Zigzag looked hurt.
"I'm sorry, it's just..." Squid had tears in his eyes, "You don't wanna
waste your time on someone like me."
He turned and ran from the tent.
