*has been sitting under that damn tree until well past sunset... is cold and lonely and even more miserable than before. and he knows he won't get any rest until this is at least partially resolved.*

*gets up stiffly and wanders around in the dark, trying to find boys' 2.*

[head_playboy]

*angry or not, he's tired. And has spent enough time feeling like scum.*

[pellameno]

*fidgets outside for awhile... and then sneaks in, as quietly as possible*

[head_playboy]

*if any of the other campers notice him, they are not saying anything. But shoujo characters are not ninjas at all, so he's still asleep*

[pellameno]

*hi there, edge of Nanba's bed. you want to be sat on, don't you?*

...

Nanba?

...P-

Pell?

[pellameno]

*just bites hip lip and reaches for where Nanba's hand is resting on the covers... his fingers are cold as ice*

[head_playboy]

* squeezing the hand*

...please tell you haven't been outside all this time.

[pellameno]

I was thinking. And I understand... can I stay?

[head_playboy]

I. Yes. You can stay.

[pellameno]

*moving very slowly, but shedding whatever would be uncomfortable to sleep in and crawling under the covers*

*not clinging... yet*

I didn't mean it.

[head_playboy]

I did. Let's just not discuss that right now.

[pellameno]

I know you did. Thank you... no one ever has.........

*and clearly wants to keep talking, but instead just closes his mouth and nods, sliding a little closer*

[head_playboy]

...told you you can be such an idiot?

*getting closer too*

[pellameno]

...not because they cared.

*is probably half frozen, but sliding arms around Nanba*
