Duncan threw open to doors to the community bathroom, looking around to make sure he was alone before walking forth and wiping the sleep from his eyes. Duncan looked around once more, peering into all of the shower stalls before taking off his shirt and sliding his pants down to the ground. Duncan stepped into his pair of swim trunks and stepped behind the small door, shaking his head at the fact that the doors to the shower stalls only came high enough to shield his waist from view. Duncan peered beyond the stalls once more before going back and turning on the water to the shower, shrieking and jumping back suddenly as ice cold water sprayed all over him. Duncan felt a shiver run through his lower spine and up to his neck as he waited for the water to convert to warm. He stepped forth and sighed in relief as the water finally came to a nice and relaxing temperature. He winced slightly as the water ran down his back, running over the new tattoo as he held his head against the stall wall.

"Is that..a Hawaiian tattoo?" came a voice as Duncan hollered out in surprise, turning around to see Cody standing there looking at him.

"What the hell dude!? Don't you knock!?" Duncan screamed, Cody covering his mouth as he began to snicker and laugh. Duncan felt his his cheeks flush with blood as he began to blush with embarrassment, throwing the door to the stall open as he grabbed Cody by the collar and threw him down onto the floor. He felt his chest heavy with both anger and fear as Cody looked up at him with shock, before finally breaking out into another fit of giggles.

"The big and bad Duncan...has a floral Hawaiian tattoo on his back?!" Cody said, busting out in another fit of giggles as Duncan's face fell. He quickly grabbed his clothes before turning around and sprinting out of the shower room. He could feel his heart beating faster as he ran across the grassy field and towards his cabin, suddenly barreling into somebody else as he tripped and rolled across the ground. Duncan screamed out in pain as the hard and abrasive ground came into contact with his tattoo, tears coming to the edges of his eyes as his scream echoed across the camp. Duncan turned over on his side as his back arched inward, whimpering out in pain as he cried into the grass as pain shot up and down his spine.

"Duncan, are you okay!?" came a familiar voice as Duncan opened one of his eyes to see Noah on the ground, sitting up as he looked at him worriedly. Duncan bit his tongue as he sat up and scooted away, noticing how campers were now coming out of their cabins and watching the scene unfold. Duncan threw on his shirt as he bit his lower lip and stood up despite the pain in his back, turning around as he continued his way towards his cabin.

"Duncan, your bleeding!" came Noah's voice as Duncan brushed the smaller teen off, suddenly stopping as he felt a warm liquid drip down his lower back and into his waist line. He heard one of the girls gasp loudly as he broke out into a jog, finally running up the steps to his cabin and brushing past Geoff and Tyler before slamming the door shut. Duncan finally let a sob break free from his lips as he knelt down, the pain excruciating by now as it continued to shoot up and down his spine and into his neck. He was sure if it was any worse, he would be immobilized and passed out. Duncan sat that way for a couple more minutes, before finally reaching behind him and gripping his shirt. He gritted his teeth as he pulled the shirt over again, finally throwing it down to the floor as he caught sight of the massive blood on the back. He then heard a soft creak as the door to the cabin opened, Noah and Lashawna stepping in quietly before they both closed the door. Duncan no longer felt like hiding anything at this point, the pain having exhausted him as well as the possible blood loss.

"Sweet mama, you ain't looking good homey." Lashawna said as she walked forward and knelt down beside Duncan as he looked over and tried his best to glare at her.

"Duncan, you've got to get to the infirmary. You've got a large gash on your back...near...your tattoo?" Noah said, eying the thing peculiarly before Duncan swatted at him to get him to stop.

"Yes, let's all make a scene out of it. Duncan has a giant girly tattoo on his back, whopping fucking do!" Duncan said, Lashawna shaking her head at him as she inspected the wound on his back before she wrapped a arm around his and helped him up with Noah taking the other arm.

"Duncan, I don't care about the tattoo. I care about making sure you don't bleed to death or get a infection from the wound." Noah said back, Duncan looking at him as they both helped him walk towards the door to the cabin.

"Yea homeboy, you ain't going anywhere with that nasty thing on your back. Mhmmmm." Lashawna said, Duncan looking over at her as Noah opened the door.

"What makes you so concerned, your not even on our team." Duncan said, walking forward as the light of the sun came over them.

"We may be on a reality TV show, and I may be on another team, but that still don't mean I don't care about when someone gets hurt. That just ain't cool bro, no matter who it is." replied the bigger black woman, a definitive shake of the head following afterward. Duncan watched as a bunch of the other campers began to walk over, some of them looking at his back and noticing the gash and the tattoo as well.

"Alright peeps, y'all need to find someplace to go and quickly. We know, big, bad, and tough over here has a colorful tattoo. Who the hell cares! Now move!" Lashawna said loudly, the other campers dissipating as she snapped her fingers at all of them. Duncan looked down at the ground as they neared a small wooden building with a large first aid cross on the front.

"Duncan, my man! What happen to ya?" came Chris's voice as Duncan looked up at the showboating host and just motioned his head to his back.

"Homeboy be trippin over here, gashed his whole back wide open while on a morning run." came Lashawna's voice, Duncan ready to just bury himself alive as the host ushered them into the building. Duncan watched as a young female came up to them, audibly gasping as she saw his back.

"I can tell you right now that he won't be participating in any challenges today." the woman said, Chris groaning in disappointment.

"Looks like you get immunity today, through medical default. It's the sidelines for you pal." Chris said, Duncan frowning as Noah and Lashawna sat him down on a nearby bed.

"I don't know about you nerd boy, but I gotta go and tame this hair. If I don't, I'll end up looking like a Macy's Day balloon." Lashawna said as she waved to Noah and Duncan before leaving the building with Chris at her side. Duncan watched as the woman brought over a tray of items, setting them down as she pulled out a bottle filled with liquid sloshing around inside.

"I won't lie, this is going to hurt a lot." the nurse said as she opened the cap and began to pour it over the wound, Duncan screaming out in incredible pain as more tears fell down his cheeks.

"Sweetie, your going to need some stitches I'm afraid. I can't close it up without them and it's the only way to prevent infection." the nurse said as she sat down on a stool and rolled back over.

"My tattoo isn't messed up is it?" Duncan asked, a new alarm within his voice as he turned his head to see the woman shake her head.

"No, the tattoo will be fine. This won't even effect the ink at all, it'll just hurt like a mother trucker." the nurse said, Duncan taking a small sigh of relief before he felt another round of pain shoot up his spine once more. He turned his head to the side as he laid down onto the bed, finally noticing that Noah was still there.

"Why are you still here, you should go." Duncan said, Noah shrugging his shoulders as Duncan looked at the young man perplexed.

"I figured you might want someone here to keep you company besides the nurse." Noah replied back, Duncan rolling his eyes in return before hissing in pain as he felt the woman pierce the skin with a shot.

"This is going to numb your entire back region, you'll be laying here for a bit." the woman said as Duncan began to feel his backside begin to tingle before going numb completely.

"They weren't suppose to see me like that...I wasn't suppose to show them that side of me." Duncan whispered loud enough for Noah to hear, his gaze fixed on the wall as he avoided the smaller teens gaze.

"What do you mean?" Noah asked, clearly confused as Duncan sighed and rolled his eyes again.

"I haven't cried in front of anyone in almost ten years now, I refuse to do it. I've kept my reputation solid for so long now, and in one swift motion, it's gone. I got that tattoo yesterday, thinking that it would look good and I actually liked it. It's the only tattoo I've ever gotten...and I choose that stupid one." Duncan whispered, still looking at the wall as he bunched up his fist before relaxing it.

"I think it looks nice...it wasn't stupid." Noah said back, Duncan turning his gaze to the smaller teen as he looked at him to see if he was serious.

"Of course you would princess." Duncan said back, a bit of venom in his voice as he thought back to all of the campers staring at him and snickering.

"I'm being serious, it is nice. I've always liked Hawaiian and Polynesian themed things, my family grew up in Hawaii." Noah said, Duncan actually smiling for once as he looked at the shorter teen for a brief second before frowning again and returning his attention back to the wall. They both suddenly heard the bugle sound outside, Noah looking out as the other campers began to walk towards the flagpole to meet Chris and Chef.

"Looks like it's my time to go, I hope you feel better." Noah said, turning to leave as Duncan looked back at him.

"Hey wait...good luck out there bookworm." Duncan said, Noah turning to look at him as he opened the door and paused, smiling slightly before walking out completely.

"He seems like a sweetheart." the nurse said, Duncan frowning once more as he stared at the wall.

"Oh blow it out your diddy bag." Duncan said, the woman huffing with aggravation before Duncan felt a small prick in his back, hissing out in pain as he wanted to turn over and glare at her.

"Don't insult the woman with the needle now, accidents could happen." she said, Duncan just rolling his eyes before closing them.

So, what do you think?
