It was another warm night in the boy's tent after an extremely hot and tiring day on the lake. Zigzag lay awake in his bed thinking about what would come the next day.

Holy shit! I hate digging and I hate being here. Everyone are such ass holes all the time I wish that at least I could have one friend here. X-ray always talks about how D-tent sticks together but we all know that as soon as we get out of here we will never see each other again and as of right now that is fine with me.

Little did Zigzag know that there was another D-tenter awake thinking almost the same thing.

Digging is a bitch! I wish I never stole that puppy what was I thinking? This is the worse thing that ahs ever happened to me. Not to mention everyone is a total dusch bag 24/7. I can't wait until I can leave then I will never have to see this place or the people ever again. So much for this helping me build character. It only makes me want to kill someone. God! This sucks! I hate it!

"FUCK!"

"I feel ya man!"

"Holy Shit!" Magnet jumped out of his bed and started looking around the tent but couldn't make anything out in the darkness that surrounded them both. "Who said that! Zigzag what are you doing still up? Did I just say that out loud?"

"Magnet get back in bed you just yelled fuck and I was just saying that I feel yah, I was just about to yell something like that too. Besides, you're acting almost as paranoid as me."

"Sorry man I was just thinking about how this is a total Hell hole and I can't wait until I am out of here."

"Again, I feel yah. At least you and the guys can get back together after I mean people here like you."

"HA! People here like me? No way! Let's face it Zig, were both losers!"

"Nah Mag, were not the losers were are plus the losers are the ones who always end up with all the girls!"

The two boys laughed at this for a very long time although they did not know why they kept laughing although the flutter of butterflies started to fill both of their stomachs and Zigzag was beginning to be his normal paranoid self.

"Did you hear that?" Zigzag looked around and out of the tent door that was partially open from when one of the boys had gone to the bathroom earlier that night and forgot to close it.

"Ah, are you scared? You can come over here if your scared little Ziggy-Zag." Although Magnet meant this to be a joke Zigzag was never one who knew when someone was serious or when they were joking. So he got up from his bed and sat right next to Magnet.

"I'm not scared but I know you are so I think I will protect you. Besides if there are kill animals out there then I can feed you to then first. And then I can run away while they are eating your carcass." Zigzag's eyes got real big and he started looking around again.

"That's sick man! And I'm not scared nothing scares me!" There was a loud bang and both of the boys jumped. "See man! I knew you were scared!"

"I'm not scared I just…" Zigzag trailed off and realized how the moonlight was hitting Magnet form the open tent door. His stomach was getting more and more fluttery as he looked into his chocolate eyes.

"What the hell are you looking at?" Then Magnet's eyes reached Zigzag's sapphire blue eyes and words were taken from his mouth. There was an awkward pause. "You know if your uncomfortable you can sit here more on the cot instead on the corner of the cot I mean that's got to be painful on your ass." The truth was Zigzag was plenty comfortable but for some reason he took this excuse to be closer to Magnet.

"Uh, thanks Magnet."

Then without warning the two boys were drawn together like there was a magnetic force between the two of them. They were dangerously close and were inching closer. Neither knew what was happening to them. It wasn't until their lips brushed that they pulled away. Both of them filled with apologies.

"I'm sorry I don't know what happened!"

"No man! It was my bad!"

"I don't know what came over me. Do you…you don't…do you have a…"

"Are you gay!"

"No!"

"Me either."

"Right, glad we get that out of the way. I mean I would hate for you to think that I was gay, or whatever. I mean that would just be awkward for everyone in the tent. We need to find some girls. I mean unless…no never mind I'm a stupid pussy I uh I need sleep, yah sleep! Good night!" Zigzag got up and was about to run to bed when Magnet grabbed his arm.

"You know you don't have to freak out it was nothing I mean we can just pretend that nothing happened right?" But once again they were dangerously close and they were being drawn together by that imaginary force. Their lips touched again but when they went to pull apart they were forced together again by their loneliness. Soon they were kissing more then before and their stomachs were filled with butterflies and they did not know what they were doing but neither of them could move. It was like there feet were glued to the floor and they couldn't lift them up.

The old recording of the trumpet sounded. It was time for everyone to wake up. Instantly the bond was broken and the glue no longer existed they pull apart and look at each other they didn't know what to say. Zigzag just got up got dresses and walk out of the tent.

But that very day it was different from the rest. They were aloud the option not to dig and they were told that they were going home. It would be another 3 months before Zigzag and Magnet would speak to each other again. One phone call would stop the silence that had been between them for three months.

The phone rang. Magnet got out of bed and walked across his room in his boxers and picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hi is Magnet…err…Jose home?"

"This is Magnet who is this?"

"Dude! It's me Zigzag! Guess what all the guys are getting together at my house for the rest of the summer you think you wanna come?"

"Yah sure let me go ask my mom." Magnet dropped the phone and walked downstairs leaving Zigzag in silence.

I wonder if he remembers what happened. It was a long time ago. Maybe he doesn't want to think about it I never thought I would ever kiss another guy. But it felt real to me I don't know what is going on. I don't normally feel like this about other guys. It's kind of grossing me out.

Zigzag's thoughts were interrupted by Magnet's voice.

"Good news I can come! What day do you want me to come? I probably can't come until next week is that cool?"

"Yah that would be perfect. Uh, Magnet I was just wondering about what happened that last night in the tent. I uh…"

"It was nothing we were both confused yah man I know nothing to feel weird about a place like that can really fuck a guy up! So I'll see ya next week how about Tuesday? Ok bye!"

Magnet hung up and went to get started packing. Zigzag was planning to tell Magnet how he felt but maybe it was better if they both forgot thinking about it Magnet clearly had so maybe he should do the same. He quickly got up and went to go shower. He was excited to see the guys again, even though three months ago he would have been dreading this. But he was curious to see what they all looked like and what they were up to.

See just a little bit of slash but I think that's the end of it. R&R I want to know what you think.
