Bens pov:

I can hardly believe it... darius is alive, and we're holding hands watching the stars!
I want to stay here forever. God, I've missed him.
Although it's gotten auffully late...
The others might get worried, but I also want to stay here. Should I leave? Should I stay the night? Does he want me to leave?

"Ben?" Asked Darius, breaking my chain of thoughts.

"Yeah, what's up?" I answered.

"It's late... if you want, you can stay over, but the others might worry. " he answered me, looking down.

"Oh... yeah... maybe I should go.."  I answered and stood up.

He stood up shortly after me and hugged me.

"Walk me back?" I asked as I hugged him back.

"Sure," he said, breaking the hug.

I smiled, and we began to walk.
The whole way back, we talked about the experiences we had on the island.

"I still can't believe that you thought you were mad at you," I laughed.

"Ha... yeah, " he replied, looking down.

"You alright?"

"What? Uh! Yes. Yepo! I'm am A-okay!" He answered, seeming rather shocked when I asked him. Was he afraid of answering that? Why... doesn't matter, probably nothing.

"We're here," he gestured to the gate.

"Oh.. okay"

I walked over to the gate and placed my hand on it.

"Wait!" He called quickly.

I replied with a slight humming sound.

"I- never mind," he answered me again.

"Alright, goodnight." I bid a goodbye, and so did he, then he walked back.

I opened the door to see the group at the campfire.

"Soo... Ben?" Says Yaz, almost as if she was waiting for me.

"Hm? What's upp?"

"How's your boyfriend?"

"..." It took me a minuit to understand what she was talking about, "WAIT! NONONONO! I DONT HAVE A BOYFRIEND!"

"BEN HAS A BOYFRIEND?" began Kenji, wh was sitting by the fire.

"NO! WERE FRIENDS!" I shouted, way too loud, what if darius heard...

-----with darius---
Darius pov:

Oh yeah.... Friends..

Honestly, darius, you think you're worth more than that? You don't even deserve the total of a friend.

What?

You almost got him killed, I can count all the times for you if you want!

But - he forgave me!

Do you actually think that? He just felt bad for you.

Oh...

After a few minutes, I was back at the cave.
"Toro?" I asked, a small growl of a reply came as an answer, "I'm bored, maybe 𝘄𝗲 can try and build a tree house? And then make this place you home, and the treehouse mine!"

He can't speak, but I knew what he was thinking:
