"come here, I'll keep you warm." randy offered, holding up the open end of the sleeping bag- inviting Jay in whom he'd noticed had been shivering for the past thirty minutes or so

Jay gratefully crawled in with a sigh, "sorry. I just can't get the hang of sleeping outdoors"

"why? What are you scared of?"

"I never said I was scared, I'm just not... You know, used to things..." Jay defended lamely

Randy nodded, "so is it bears?"

"huh?"

"are you afraid of bears?"

"what? No! I just told you- hey wait a minute, you're not gonna try and interrupt me are you?"

Randy shrugged, "I wouldn't dream of it."

"you have that shit eating grin on."

"what? No, this is how I always smile."

"oh." then added, "you have a weird smile"

Randy chuckled and wrapped his arms around Jay's waist, pulling them close- as though he just couldn't bear the thought of being separated by an inch.

"I can't sleep if it's just me." Jay finally confided to randy's collarbone

"what do you mean?"

"I mean... I need someone there... You know, right next to me."

"hmm... Interesting." randy could fall asleep anywhere so long as there was booze, hearing Jay say he couldn't sleep without someone else with him kind of sounded adorable

"it's embarrassing sometimes..." Jay mumbled

"not really." randy consoled, "I like our sleeping arrangements" as if to make a point he squeezed jays hip gently. "I like waking up with you in the mornings."

Jay blushed, "thanks..." he accepted the kiss randy planted on his lips, already seemingly expecting it.

"and I'll always be here when you wake up" randy promised, giving another kiss

"wow I can't believe you can be so cheesy" Jay giggled

"you like it."

"... Maybe."

"nothing will come between you and me either." randy said quietly, hand kneading the back of jays neck, "not even a bear."

Jay laughed, "thanks. And seriously I'm not that scared of bears."

"wolves?"

"eh... Maybe. I'm more afraid of vipers."

Randy grinned, "oh really? Why so?"

"coz they steal my breath away. And they're always trying to cut-" kiss

"cut your sentences short?"

Jay grinned widely, snuggling back against randy, "yeah, but I don't think I mind as much"

"that's good news for the viper then"

"it won't be when I'm done skinning him and serving him for breakfast!" shawn threatened, "what part of lights out can you not get?"

"shh! Shawn- shut up!"

Jay and randy looked a each other and snickered quietly
