[bitterpresent]

With another mighty haul, Jomy was able to firmly carry the huge bag in his back... at least, in a way that wouldn't make him trip, since the way that his skinny legs shaked whenever he walked any faster wasn't exactly what one would consider "firm". Still, he refused any help from Tony because he was a man; just because they were in their first

[Only a few inches behind the blonde, he paused rather abruptly, almost slamming into his friend. Leaning forward, he placed a hand to his forehead, resting his chin near Jomy's head as he glanced around. Readjusting his own heavy backpack, he glanced towards his friend with a side long glance.] "Anywhere in this area looks fine. There aren't many who bothered to come this far out."

[bitterpresent]

This place looks fine!

[Jomy looked up at Tony and smiled. He shrugged off his bag (if his shoulders were able to sigh, they would) and tried to drag it under a tree.]

I guess that's both a good and a bad thing.

[jomysexual]

[Glancing down to the blonde, he blinked, before smiling ever so slightly. Taking a step back, as to not run into the other male, he shrugged off his own bag and placed it on the ground. Squatting down, he unzipped one of the pockets and brought out a canteen. Unscrewing the lid, he went to take a sip, but then stopped, instead offering it up to the blonde.] "Do you want some?"

[bitterpresent]

[Unlike Tony, he sat on the ground, unafraid of the dirt. Hey, they were camping; getting dirty was inevitable. He watched Tony pull out a canteen, and when it seemed like he was going to drink it, he offered it to him instead. He couldn't say he was surprised, but the gesture still made him flush a bit before taking the canteen and drinking from it. He immediately handed it back to Tony.]

Er, you should think about yourself first...

[jomysexual]

[Taking it back, he looked at the blonde for a few moments before downing a few drops and screwing the lid back on tight, packing it back away.] "If it's Jomy, it doesn't matter."

[Glancing around, he tilted his head back slightly, orange orbs looking at the few clouds passing overhead. It was sunny, but it wasn't hot outside, which was nice. There was a large amount of space for them to utilize and the surrounding trees would provide shade should they need it. Yeap, it was the perfect place to camp. Jomy sure knew how to call it. Another smile crossed his features.

Glancing back to his companion, he felt comfortable in the small gap of silence. He felt he could do anything with Jomy and be happy.] "Should we pitch the tent first, or look for firewood?"

[bitterpresent]

[Jomy considered the question, staring at the tip of his boots pressed together.]

I can pitch the te--

[He stopped. Tony was taller, stronger, and more efficient than him, so volunteering to pitch the tent would just be downright stupid.]

I can look for firewood and you can pitch the tent.

[jomysexual]

[He couldn't help the smirk that played across his lips. Pushing himself to his feet, he left his bag and walked over towards the blonde, extending a hand out to help him up.] "It shouldn't take more than an hour."

[bitterpresent]

[Jomy took his hand and pulled himself up, wiping off the dirt and insects that stuck to his rear.]

Good. We'll be able to set up a fire before nightfall if we keep up this pace.

[jomysexual]

[He nodded, pulling the other boy to his feet. Being that close to Jomy's face, hands entwined, had become a moment all in itself. For a moment, all he could do was look into the clear blue orbs across from his own, feeling his heart skip a beat.

What could have lasted for eternity, probably in reality was only a few short moments. A smile still playing across his lips, he took a step back, gingerly letting go of the other boys digits.] "Just believe in me, Jomy."

[With that, he turned away, pausing to glance at the ground, a bit lost in thought, before moving towards his backpack. It didn't take long for him to start pulling out all the equipment he'd need to construct the tent. It was just a matter of floor planning now.]

[bitterpresent]

[Jomy nodded and set off to the woods, looking for good wood. He spent most of his time looking at the random squirrels and plants in the woods, though, but he was able to gather enough to last them the night. When he came back, he placed the firewood on the ground, sitting on a log and sighing.]

[jomysexual]

[Some time had passed since Jomy had left. He was almost relieved to have some distance, so he could work on putting the tent up without fail. Being so close to the blonde sometimes was very difficult. Jomy was just so pure.

He had worked long and hard, not wanting his efforts to backfire and collapse on them during their sleep. He'd made sure to tie the ropes extra tightly, but not tight enough to rip. With a few good tugs and some pressure on the pegs, he took a step back to admire his handy work, arm going to his forehead to wipe the sweat away.

It was at that moment he heard moment. Glancing over his shoulder, he saw the blonde emerge and a smile spread across his features.] "Back already? I just finished."

[He glanced at the logs on the floor, then back up to the blonde's face, walking over to his side.] "You seem tired."

[bitterpresent]

[Jomy smiled at Tony. He glanced at the tent and admired the boy's handiwork; surely, he couldn't have done any better.]

It looks pretty good! Great job, Tony.

[He started stretching. He wasn't tired... only just a bit. He just wanted to sit down and have some marshmallows.]

I'm not!

[He turned his attention to the sky. The sunset was beautiful. He would've admired it longer if they didn't have to make a fire.]

It's getting dark.

[jomysexual]

[His eyes were full of concern, but he decided not to press the issue. Being this close to Jomy was enough. He wanted to lean forward and push back some of that soft blonde hair, perhaps tuck it behind his ear... or even just caress his face. Would it seem out of the blue? Would Jomy be insulted? He wasn't sure and his fear of rejection stopped him from doing so.

Instead, he placed his hand on his hip and tilted his head back to admire the sky as well. Such pretty colors... he glanced out of the corner of his eye to watch his friend's face. It's you who's most beautiful, Jomy.

He nodded when the Gryffindor boy spoke again.] "Well, since you got the logs, I'll set the fire pit up."

[Leaning down, he gathered a hand full, offering another smile at the blonde before setting to work.]

[bitterpresent]

[Jomy noticed the glance and blushed. Was Tony... watching him? He shook his head and nodded at Tony's suggestion.]

All right, but let me help, too!

[Tony's altruistic nature toward him was both flattering and embarrassing. He didn't need someone to do all the work for him, really. He had both of his feet and hands and he should might as well use them.

Except... he had no idea how to light a fire, so he picked a log up and looked at it.]

Uh...

[jomysexual]

[Glancing over his shoulder, a log in both hands, he looked up to the boy.] "Something wrong?"

[The question was innocent enough in nature. Seeing Jomy standing there, a bit ignorant as usual made him smile warily. Jomy was just charming by nature. The Gryffindor wasn't even aware of the power he held over him. Getting to his feet, he placed the logs aside and crossed the distance between them. Taking both of Jomy's hands, he just stared down at him for a moment. He didn't care if it was going to cause a delay. Jomy just looked so... he couldn't even begin to describe. His features softened, warm orange hues reflecting adoration.] "Jomy... you don't have to try so hard. It's okay. Leave it up to me."

[bitterpresent]

[Jomy's cheeks reddened again, ignoring the log as it fell down. At least the surroundings were already orange, because it would've been really obvious in plain daylight. That didn't make him change his mind, though.]

...No, Tony. This is camping out, not hike out to the woods and make you do everything for me.
