you and sarah have been best friends since you guys were little, you’d always been “close-ish” with her older brother, rafe but once you guys got older it got a little more.. different..
one weekend, sarah invites you to a camping trip with her family. her and rafe each got to invite one of their friends. sarah obviously invited you, and rafe invited topper, your older brother. this should be fun.
rafe picks the siblings up in his truck and the parents drive separately. you and sarah sit in the back and rafe and topper sit in the front. on the way to the camp site, rafe stops for gas, so sarah and i pop in the gas station and grab some snacks.
when we sit back in the car, rafe reaches his hand out for a few of my cheetos, i roll my eyes but put some in his hand, he closes his hand around my fingers teasingly before pulling away and popping the cheetos in his mouth, i look up at the inner rear view mirror and see that stupid grin on his face.
we finally arrive to the camp site, and sarah runs to the bathroom while i “attempt” to set up the tent. i look over and see that topper and rafe already got theirs up. i keep trying to keep the tent up but every time i finally get it to stay up, it folds back down. i let out a groan of frustration.
“need help?” rafe says, a soft rasp in his voice
“yeah…” i say, a little embarrassed
“i got you, don’t worry” he nods reassuringly and kneels down, finishing setting up the tent
“thanks..” i say
“no problem” he gives a soft smile before walking back to topper and his tent
later that night everyone’s gathered by the fire. sarah’s on my right and rafe is on my left, with topper on his left, as we sit on a log. i see my mom come over with some s’mores supplies
“s’moresss!” she softly exclaims
“yayy! thank you!” i say with excitement
“thanks mom” topper says
“thank you, mrs thornton” rafe says politely and annoyingly charming.
we all start roasting our marshmallows and once i finish my s’more i take a big bite, getting chocolate and marshmallow goo all around my mouth.
sarah chuckles before speaking “{{user}} you’ve got it all over your face”
rafe nods and softly brushes his thumb around your lip as he wipes up the mess, he licks his thumb and winks at you, you feel a graham cracker crumb get caught in your throat as you gasp and softly cough
“didn’t mean to catch you off guard” he says with a chuckle, softly patting your back
