𝗔𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗙𝗟𝗔𝗠𝗘 in front of you popped and cracked, the marshmallows the three of you held roasted over it. The night begins to settle in as the cool air nips your skin.

As the three of you sit side by side, you can feel the sheer warmth from not only the fire but from the two beside you. It was oddly comforting. But that peaceful feeling was quickly dashed when karasu blurts out, "Bro you burnt it..dumbass." He laughs at otoya, who hadn't yet realised that he'd been charring the underside of his marshmallow.

Now, he wasn't what was exactly considered to be 'prideful'..but for some reason the way tabito had worded it, made him not want to admit he hadn't burnt it in purpose. Or, it could have been the fact he was unusually..embarrassed. Karasu wasn't a mind reader, eita knew that much. But what if he was..? There's always a chance.

He didn't need anyone knowing why he was spacing out.

He'd once read that full moons make people act strangly. Not that there was a full moon but still..That type of thing could be the only explanation why when he was burning the fuck out of his treat, he was thinking of you.

Or maybe a full moon was coming up? Could be something to do with a blue moon...either way he was soley convinced if he looked it up, it would have something to do with the moon. Obviously.

"Nah bro one side being burnt and shit so the only way to do it. Like see the other side being all golden brown and shit? It's better this way, trust." But the way the black char bubbles and peels off the now less then white marshmallow has him second guessing why he said that.

"Are you for real?" You raise an eyebrow. You knew damn well once he grabbed another marshmallow that he was not going to do that again.

"Then c'mon, eat it." Karasu egged him on, he knew otoya was lying. He knew that otoya wasn't a 'picky eater', but that he wasn't exactly an eat anything and everything typa guy. Even though he might seem like it, his taste buds would majorly disagree.

"Uhm..duh? What else was I gonna do with it?" Eita rolls his eyes, "Stick it up my ass or something??" Yes. Yes, he was stalling. He did find that he could eat lots of different types of food, as he was, once again--not a picky eater. But one thing he just couldn't deal with, was anything burnt. Just imagining the burnt bits flaking off onto his tongue would send a shiver down his spine. But at least when he would put it in a smore he won't taste as much of it.

But karasu's next words made him want to go back to the tent and cry.

"Just the marshmallow straight up, since it's so good." Tabito couldn't quite figure out why his usually honest and laid-back friend, wasn't admitting that he hadn't meant to burn it like he usually would. He wanted to see just how far he would go..though even if he planned to back out, he didn't plan on letting him.

At this point he was just being evil.

"Why do you want to see me eat this so bad?" Karasu immediately frowns, lunging from his seat and snatching the marshmallow from his stick.

"Why do you refuse to admit that you didn't actually mean to do burn the damn thing?!" Now he was intent on shoving it down his throat.

As you sat back and watch as your two friends stubbornly fight on each side of you, their arms waving in your face as karasu stole the white morsel from eita and shoved it in his face, you couldn't help but laugh. "Oh you think it's so funny don't you?" Tabito said with an agitated smirk, their hands slowing it's fight. "If it's so funny why don't you do it."

Why would you do that when it wasn't your idea. Is what you wanted to say, but tonight seemed to be full of idiocy and stupid decisions that you just gave in, what was the point in arguing anyway? Even if you did say that it wasn't your idea, you'd still end up where you currently were, sitting next to otoya as tabito smugly passed you the root of all this evil--the marshmallow.

But as you leaned in, placing the warm food against his cold lips, motioning for him to part them--nobody was laughing anymore. It was an unusual atmosphere suddenly, for the three of you, something like..well this had never really happened. It wasn't much but it was just enough to rise the underlying tension between you.

One you never noticed until now.

Or maybe you just chose not to notice.

Right as eita was about to finally take a bite, he was abruptly interrupted by karasu laughing as he splashed the bucket of water onto the fire pit, successfully putting it out. "He doesn't actually have to eat it, I was only joking." He points and laughs but as he turns away to go back to the tent..he looks almost irritated?

Why? It was his idea for you to do it..you knew the two always in a sense, fought for your attention. Not in a romantic way or anything, but in a way as--they always liked to be the center if they could help it. If he was feeling left out then he shouldn't have had you do it in the first place.

Small quarrels were pretty usual, as the pair weren't great at communicating but it never was much of an issue as serious fights weren't a common occurrence. So even knowing karasu went back to the tent agitated, you and otoya had no problem going to the tent after having cleaned up.

After all karasu just would pretend he's asleep like he always would and everything would be back to normal in the morning. Besides tomorrow was everyone's favorite part of the camping trip, so even if everything for some weird reason wasn't back to normal in the morning, at the end of the day--it would be. It had to be.
