"hey randy! C'mere!"
Randy turned to look at Jay who was waving him over excitedly, "what?" they'd been sent to collect firewood for the camp and so far they'd collected two flimsy twigs, a termite infested branch and a hollow stick.
"c'mon!" Jay insisted, disappearing behind some dead trees
Randy stared at the tree line and at the wood in his arms before dumping them and stalking after Jay
"what is it Jay?" he asked, pushing several branches away from his face to pass
"look what I made" Jay said proudly, gesturing to two lopsidedly grinning snowmen
Randy couldn't help feeling bemused, "that's very... Artistic." he observed the branches servig as hands seemed to be tangled as though giving the impression of holding hands, "did you make them by yourself?"
"don't mock me" Jay warned but he was beaming, "yeah, this is me" he removed his scarf and tied it around one of the snow men's neck loosely
"so who's this one?" randy casually asked, touching the soft snow
"it can be you if you want" Jay said, unable to look anywhere but the scarf he was picking at
Randy removed his own scarf with a smile and wrapped it around his own snowman, "definitely me. You got my smile right." he drew back and put an arm around jays shoulders to admire their snow counterparts
"think they last the night?" Jay asked, looking up at randy who just shrugged
"maybe. Cmon, before hunter and shawn can wail at us some more"
"what excuse are we gonna give em? I doubt they'd believe I fell down some ditch again"
"don't worry, you're temptingly hot, I'll think of something." randy grinned mischievously and Jay socked his shoulder for it.
The first thing randy noticed when it was daylight was that Jay wasn't in their shared sleeping bag and it somewhat disgruntled him- he quickly dressed and surveyed the camp before heading back the trail in the hopes of finding Jason before whatever wild animal that wasn't randy orton could.
It wasn't like he knew where he was going, his feet just so happened to lead him to the tree line where Jay had built their snowmen and randy found Jay there mourning over several large mounds of White snow and broken sticks
"Jay?"
Jay looked up and flashed a small smile, unusual for someone usually armed with cheer. "hey."
"hey yourself, you're up early" randy trekked over and stood beside him, "what're you doing?"
"well... I came to check on us- but..." he looked forlornly at the lumpy snow, "I guess they didn't last very long." he sighed, prodding the lumps with a snapped twig.
"why so upset?"
"I dunno... I just thought they'd last longer." Jay said quietly, pawing at the wet scarves and pulling them out from under the snow and looking at them.
Randy knelt beside him and held his hand, "if it makes you feel any better, we're still here." he pressed a kiss to the gloved hand, "I'll make sure we'll last forever."
Jay's grin widened at that, "yeah... I guess so." he stood up, and held out randy's scarf, "this is yours"
randy eyed it before taking it in his hands- it wasn't wet anymore, then carefully wrapped it around jays neck, "keep it, snow-randy would've wanted you to have it."
Jay laughed, and fingered the scarf, "thanks, I guess snow-me would want you to have this too" he stood on his toes and tied his scarf around orton's neck lovingly.
"perfect." randy said quietly as Jay smiled up at him
"what is?"
"you and I, we'll be perfect."
