Yeah…long time no update! But here is a one-shot that I've been planning for a while! I hope you guys enjoy the little DxC treat I have prepared for you! (:
Disclaimer: I don't own TDI, Duncan, or Courtney. (:
Summary: We all know the story of Duncan and Courtney's antlers getting stuck together…but what happened between them on their way back to camp?
Pairing: CourtneyxDuncan…xD
Paintball Deer Hunting. It was probably the most pointless thing that Courtney had ever done before in her life. I mean, what was even the point of walking around in the forest, trying to shoot each other with paintballs? There was no point to it, that was the problem!
Courtney had likely walked every inch of the forest during the challenge today. She had been walking around alone, and she hadn't even seen anyone all day! She probably would have walked around with Bridgette if she was a deer, but her friend was a hunter unfortunately. And there was no way Courtney could stand being around Sadie for that long, or be a bunny like DJ all day. And no way in hell was she going to walk around with Duncan. Ugh! He would be the last team mate she would choose to team up with! Dead last. She'd almost rather be around Harold then Duncan! Almost…
Speaking of Duncan, she could almost smell that rotten, smelly, spray he wore in his hair everyday, and it was growing rather strong. As the scent got stronger, she scented that it was worse then usual. She turned around, and saw Duncan spray painting a tree. She groaned, and turned to talk to him, covering her nose as she did so.
"Ugh!" Courtney exclaimed. "Why do you smell worse then usual?" she asked.
Duncan, now noticing Courtney's presence, dropped his can of spray paint and turned towards her, frowning.
"It's Owen's stench!" he grumbled. "It's following me around like my juvenile record!" he added.
Courtney rolled her eyes, not wanting to know any more about Duncan's past. How he ended up in a detention facility, she didn't know, or care either for that matter. She decided to change the topic.
"Well, I'm heading back!" Courtney announced. "This stupid game must be almost over by now!" The mocha haired teen narrowed her eyes as she spoke, beginning to walk away, but Duncan stood in her way.
"You're going the wrong way!" he interrupted her departure.
Courtney groaned.
"Excuse me?" she whined. I was a CIT, remember? I have a natural sense of direction," she smiled. "Camp is this way!" Courtney snapped, pointing with her finger the direction she was indicating.
Duncan still stood in her way, not moving.
"No, it's that way!" he argued.
Both teens ignored each other's comments, and just kept waling, until they walked into each other. They both groaned and yelped in frustration as their antlers tied together, stuck.
"Ugh!" Courtney screeched. "Very funny! Now let me go!" she demanded.
"Hey Princess, this isn't my idea of fun either!" he told her calmly, trying to sound reasonable. Courtney wished he would stop calling her Princess though! That name got on her nerves so much!
"Great Duncan…" Courtney grumbled, trailing off as she spoke. "Now what?" she asked, growing frustrated with the situation they were in.
Duncan smirked, his teal eyes locking with her onyx ones.
"Wanna make out?" he asked suggestively, winking.
Courtney hesitated for a moment before pushing Duncan away. Okay, so Courtney had never made out…or even kissed anyone for that matter. It was a sad fact, but she wasn't about to waste her first kiss on Duncan!
Duncan laughed as he fell to the ground.
"I'm gonna take that as a no, Princess?" he smirked.
Courtney groaned.
"Would you please stop calling me that?" she snapped.
"Whoa there Sunshine!" Duncan smiled. "It's all just for fun and games you know! I would stop calling you 'Princess,' but you always act like one!" he laughed. "Plus, it's so cute and funny the way you get mad when I do call you it!"
Courtney rolled her eyes. Duncan just kept making up more pet names for her as the days on the island went on. She disapproved more and more of it every day. Why couldn't Duncan just call her by her real name, even once?
"So how do you suggest we get out of here?" Duncan asked.
Courtney sighed.
"I wouldn't say there's a method to freeing yourself from a sticky situation like this…so I say we just pull away from each other on 3!" she suggested.
Duncan shrugged.
"Works for me I guess," he agreed. "I just want to get back to camp already!" he retorted.
"Well, that's one thing we have in common I guess," Courtney said sarcastically, rolling her eyes as she spoke.
Duncan smiled, agreeing with her comment, too mesmerized by her beauty to notice that it was a sarcastic comment.
"So on 3?" he asked, zapping back into reality.
Courtney nodded in agreement.
"One…." She murmured.
"Two…." Duncan sighed.
"Three!" Courtney shouted.
Duncan and Courtney started to try and pull away from each other. It was kind of working at first, but the antlers were too jammed together to budge. Duncan started trying to pull harder to get away from Courtney, but he ended up lifting her into the air, knocking himself over. She landed on top of him, her face only inches away from his. Because of the position of their antlers, it was virtually impossible for either of them to move apart.
"Ugh!" Duncan grumbled. "Can we please take these hats off already?"
"As much as I would like to, I don't want to lose this challenge!" Courtney shouted.
Duncan then started smiling. Courtney noticed this, and looked at him.
"What?" she snapped.
Instead of responding to Courtney, Duncan just looked deep into her eyes, then slowly leaned into kiss her. She backed away slightly, refusing it at first, but once she looked at the sincerity in Duncan's eyes, she reluctantly accepted the kiss. It was a short, sweet kiss, but as the two teens kissed, their once tangled antlers slowly came apart.
"Well what do you know?" Duncan laughed.
Courtney smiled slightly, then stood up slowly, coming back into reality, forgetting the kiss and how it had just happened.
"Now which way was it back to camp?" she thought out loud.
Duncan rolled his eyes, pointing in one direction.
"That way."
Courtney cleared her throat.
"I'm pretty sure that camp is this way," she smirked, pointing in the opposite direction.
Not bothering to argue about it anymore, Duncan and Courtney both shut their eyes, walking in their separate directions. As they once again walked into each other, their antlers once again became tangled.
Duncan laughed hysterically while Courtney sighed.
"Here we go again!" she grumbled, placing her face in her palms.
I put this all together in about an hour, so sorry if it sucks…review though? (:
