...
Hunter groaned as he stood up since he is always the first one awake (although he hasn't needed sleep since a few days ago because he did sleep after not doing so for so long), he glanced down to his side to see Brooklynn was sleeping beside him while Ben and Darius were on the opposite side. Since Yasmina and Sammy had won the race they got to sleep on Mae's comfortable bed, while the Smilodon had slept near Hunter.
Hunter did not mind at all; the floor was more comfortable to him than a bed.
The Nature Boy had walked towards the living room area of the cave, two-stepping his way over which confused the Smilodon as she followed him out to the living room.
Hunter begun to sing. "You can hit the ground—I'ma aim low—This ain't no pit beef—Shake brought a Draco—Sippin' clean—Y'all sippin' Karo—DRAIN bring them pit beefs—Glock break ya ankles—Rippin' this shit up—Like dreidels—Beyblades turned switchblades—when kids start to bang, so—Cali cursed—No way to save souls—Devil's itch—Run up them bankrolls—This ain't no myth, bitch—I'm living proof—Opps feel the pressure—When I come through—I know the weight of the world on you—Fuck ya think why—I walk 'round with a chunky tool?—Nine millies, forties, and twenty-twos—Run your luck—Watch you burn—Laugh at you—Better pipe down—With that attitude—Show you how it feels—When Shake and DRAIN in the room—" Hunter mimicked the instrument by making noises with his mouth and boots.
"Yo, DRAIN—LIT THIS SHIT UP!!!"
He continued as he begun to make breakfast for the Campers.
Brooklynn stirred awake as she noticed the body of warmth beside her had disappeared, her eyes shot open before she frantically looked around for Hunter only to immediately calmed down after hearing him singing in the kitchen. She had left her jacket on the bed frame while she went to see what Hunter was doing.
Walking around the corner to see Hunter two-stepping while singing a Punk song was not something she expected at the moment.
The Smilodon rested peacefully underneath Mae's desk.
She giggled, prompting Hunter to whip around but he had continued to sing.
"What are you doing?" She had no control over her endearing grin as she watched Hunter just be himself.
"Disrespecting normality, duh." Hunter nonchalantly said before two-stepping his way over to the counter where plates of food were on standby, he picks up a plate before heading towards Brooklynn. He hands her a plate before he begun to walk towards the room everyone slept in. "I gotta wake 'em up before their food gets cold."
"Hunter, wait—" Brooklynn suddenly grabs his arm, prompting him to turn around, his smile had not disappeared, but once he noticed Brooklynns anxious expression he gave her his full attention.
"What's bothering you, Brooks?"
Brooklynn loved that warm feeling whenever he called her that, she was going to unconsciously step closer to him but the plate of food in her other hand had prevented her from doing so as it got between them.
After Hunter had turned back to her; her entire body froze, she couldn't prevent the blush creeping up onto her cheeks before—
"Wha—Hey!"
Hunter had honked her nose to snap her back to reality, laughing at her annoyed expression. "Tell me what's bothering you." Hunters genuine smile made Brooklynn even more anxious than before.
She opened her mouth to speak but suddenly winced with embarrassment. She just kept staring at his face which made her more anxious by the second.
"B, I can't do anything to help if you just keep staring at my, justifiably, absolutely beautiful face." Hunter shoved his hands into his jackets pockets, smugly smirking at her.
Brooklynn couldn't help but laugh, easing her anxiety. "Can...can we talk in private?"
"Sure, just let me wake the others up before their food gets cold." Hunter begun walking away, he was always a fast walker so Brooklynn couldn't grab his arm to stop him in time.
"—No, Hunter, I—"
Brooklynn sighed in defeat as he was already too far.
"—I meant alone..."
The Nature Boy had returned to see Brooklynn eating her breakfast on the couch, he was soon followed by the other Campers who Hunter had kindly handed them their plates of food.
Yaz propped an eyebrow as she was not used to this side of Hunter—or would it just be Hunters true self. "This is very...uncharacteristic of you, H."
Sammy cleared her throat to excuse Yasminas bluntness. "I think Yaz meant that this is very kind of you to do and we're very thankful of you."
"Just trying to be myself for once." Hunter shrugged before sitting in Mae's chair and propping his boots onto the desk while he eats whatever he made for himself since he doesn't need much to eat, giving the Smilodons head a quick scratch. "Is my kindness too much for your introverted character, Yaz?" Hunter teased.
Yaz playfully rolled her eyes. "You're too much of a Punk to be kind."
Hunter blew a raspberry. "Just because I'm a Punk doesn't mean I am an asshole." Hunter thought for a moment.
"Not all the time at least."
"Scratch that—I am an asshole majority of the time but I am also kind." Hunter shrugged again.
"Sometimes."
The Campers laughed at Hunter but Yasmina had noticed Brooklynns subtle silence. Yasmina looked over at her to see her pouting at something, she glanced over to Hunter to see him relaxing in Mae's chair, it suddenly clicked in her head what happened.
Hunter and Brooklynn were up before everyone, so either Brooklynn was annoyed with herself for not talking to Hunter or Hunter was being oblivious to the most obvious things like always.
It's weird Hunter can figure out the least obvious things but not the most obvious things. Yasmina nudged Brooklynns shoulder, breaking her away from her thoughts before Yasmina shifted her eyes towards Hunter and then back to Brooklynn.
