"I guess I could have brought a cute little blond with me." Austin laughs.

"Well, as long as she is a he, I don't care what color the hair is." Tim chuckles as he starts to get up.

"Whoa." Austin says, grabbing Tim by the arm. "You're gay?"

"Yea, I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable." Tim says. "I promise I won't make a pass at you."

"And why not? Do you not think I'm attractive?" Austin asks looking up through his lashes.

"No, no. I didn't mean that." Tim says, shaking his head. "Believe me, I find you very attractive."

"Really?" Austin smiles.

"I just don't want you to think that just because I'm gay that I'm going to try something with you. Cause I totally respect you being straight." Tim rambles as he nervously runs his hand through his hair.

"That's just it, Tim. I'm not straight." Austin chuckles at Tim's nervousness.

"For real?" Tim says with a smile creeping across his face.

"For real." Austin laughs.

"So, Uh, do you find me attractive?" Tim smirks, but he wasn't really being serious.

"I find you gorgeous." Austin smiles.

"Oh." Tim turns his face away from Austin to hide his blushing cheeks. "Okay then, Uh." He quickly jumps up from his sitting position, knocking the sand off the seat of his pants.

Austin giggles at his actions. "Am I making you nervous?"

"No, of course not." Tim smiles nervously as he rubs his hands on his legs. "Uh, why don't I show you around."

Tim holds his hand down to help Austin up.

Austin smiles as he takes Tim by the hand. Tim pulls Austin up, but has to catch him when he stumbles.

"Sorry." Austin says shaking his head a little.

"Are you alright?" Tim asks laying his hands on Austin's shoulders.

"Yea, just got a little dizzy. But I'm alright now." Austin says as he looks up at Tim's concerned face. He stares at Tim for a few minutes, deep in thought.

"You sure you're alright? What... What are you staring at?" Tim chuckles, looking away in embarrassment.

"How do you ..... Why is..." Austin fumbles with his words as he reaches up and runs his hand through Tim's hair.

"What?" Tim laughs.

"Your hair is so clean. How?" Austin asks with a puzzled look.

"Follow me." Tim says as he takes Austin by the hand and leads him further back into the cave.

Austin hears water as Tim leads him through the cave. They walk into a room of the cave.

"A water fall?" Austin smiles.

"Yep, a water fall. And not only that but the water is from a heated spring. It's warm water." Tim grins. "So I take hot showers in my very own shower."

"What about soap and shampoo?" Austin asks.

"He puts everything he thinks I might need in the supplies he sends." Tim shrugs. "Except for towels." He laughs.

"How do you dry off?" Austin asks with a smile.

"Air dry." Tim chuckles. "I mean, it's not like I have neighbors to see me walk around naked."

"Uh, You care if I take a shower? My last bath was in salt water." Austin laughs.

"Be my guest." Tim says as he gestures toward the water fall.

Tim starts to walk away but glances over his shoulder at Austin as he was undressing. Austin has his back to Tim as he starts to pull down his pants.

He could feel Tim's eyes on him causing him to smile.

"Wow." Tim mouth's as his eyes scans over Austin's small but well built frame.

"Are you watching me?" Austin chuckles as he takes off his shirt and takes his hair down from the man bun he had it in.

"Uh, No! Well, yea maybe. Sorry." Tim says quickly before heading back to the main room of the cave.

"This could get very interesting." Austin chuckles to himself as he steps into the warm water of the small water fall.

Tim walks to the entrance of the cave that over-looks the ocean. The cave is high enough up to prevent any water from entering during hurricanes.

"Calm your ass down, Foust." Tim mumbles to himself as he runs his hands through his hair. "You can't get attached to him. You just can't. He'll get rescued and you have to stay here."

"Wow, I feel so much better." Austin says as he walks into the room.

Tim looks around, his eyes widening at the sight.

Austin had his tee shirt wrapped around his waist, barely covering his privates. His reddish brown hair hung in wet curls to his shoulders. Beads of water glistened on his bare shoulders and chest.

"Oh Hell." Tim whispers, turning quickly back toward the outside view. "No, no, no, no. Think of Conan O'Brien."

"Are you alright?" Austin asks as he walks up beside Tim.

"Uh... Yea, sure." Tim nods a little too quickly. "Why wouldn't I be?"

"You just seem.... I don't know...maybe upset." Austin says, shrugging his shoulders.

"Upset? Why should I be upset? I've been alone on this island for 5 years." Tim says as he turns to face Austin. "And then suddenly, you show up. And now you're standing in front of me, sexy as hell and almost naked. Now, Please tell me if I have a reason to be upset!!!"
