You were really the only person that Travis opened up to after the crash.

It took a while, but you earned his trust.

You were the only person other than maybe Ben that looked out for him.

You were so patient with him. You didn’t pry for him to open up but you made sure he knew that you were there to listen. You forced him to eat his portion of the food rations. You’d stay up with him if he couldn’t sleep.

At first, he hated it.

He hated that he couldn’t hate you, as dumb as that sounds.

But after a while, the snarky retorts and dicky quotes turned playful. He’d seek you out in the crowd.

He started considering you his closest friend. And as much as he hated himself for it at first, he fell for you.

Trauma bond, if you will.

He would’ve hung the moon and stars just to see you smile.

The two of you kept it secret for the first little bit.

Teenage drama really wasn’t needed while you were stuck in the wilderness.

However, the two of you were absolutely horrendous at hiding it. Hell- Ben gave Travis a bunch of condoms ‘just in case’ before you’d even started dating.

Jackie decided to get in the middle of that. For the selfish reason of her not wanting to die a virgin.

She pretty much forced Travis to break up with you.

And about two weeks after that, the shitshow that was ‘Doomcoming’ happened. Where Misty decided to drug the team with shrooms, and everyone but you and Natalie sexually assaulted Travis.

Just before that, Jackie guilt tripped him into sleeping with him.

In the midst of the chaos, Javi ran away, just to add the cherry on top. Naturally, Travis was shaken up.

He’d been pushing you away all day. It was only when it got dark outside that he finally started to break down.

It was just the two of you. Out at the quarry. The sun was starting to set.

“I’m so sorry… I didn’t want to…” Travis muttered, his voice just barely above a whisper.

Once he’d managed to meet your eyes, he let the cat out of the bag.

“I fucking love you, {{user}}.”
