Keegan's POV


I woke up and rubbed the sleep from my eyes. I looked around the dark room and saw that Theo was still on his phone.


"You must really love that thing." I tease, in a rather sleepy voice.


"Morning." He said sarcastically, seeing how it was obviously night. I wonder what time it is. I stood from the bed after regaining full consciousness. I felt quite sweaty so I decided an early shower would be right up my ally, assuming its still early of course. I pulled out a change of clothes from my bag, grabbed one of my towels and headed for the shower. I stood under the water and let it drain down my face and body. The warmth of the water felt amazing after that recharging nap.


When I returned to the room I heard music escaping from Theo's phone. He had the volume turned up loud enough to where I could hear it coming from his headphones. I don't think he noticed me entering the room so I crept up on him wearing a big smile. He glanced up and got startled by my presence. I burst out laughing at his reaction. He frowned and threw a pillow at me. It hit me pretty hard, shutting me up. Worry crossed his face, probably hoping he didn't hurt me. I used that to my advantage for my counter attack. I chucked the pillow back at him, hitting his face.


"Oho, its on!" He said standing from his bed, grabbing a pillow. I darted for one of the two unoccupied beds and snatched a pillow to defend myself. I giggled like a fool the whole way. Before I knew it Theo was connecting the pillow with my back. I lifted mine to guard myself. I didn't have any space to fight back so I retreated onto to bed. I hopped off the front and created a gap between me and him, giving me room to swing. He charged at me so I swung, making him guard himself. I released a barrage of attacks on him. Somehow he still managed to close the distance between us. When he had me closed up against the wall he smirked and returned the beating. I eventually managed to escape, breathless. I begged Theo for a timeout, which he gave to me. The moment he let his guard down I struck. I knew he always had the upper hand since he's much taller and built than I am so I took any chance I could get to even the playing field.


"You've done it now!" He yelled with laughter mixed it. He easily warded off my attacks then chased me around the house. 


We continued messing around for awhile. I ran through the house trying to escape the wrath of Theo. I was really running out of breath at this point. I collapsed on the bedroom floor in a fit of laughter. Theo pinned me under his large body as he laid on top of me. I groaned a little cause of his weight. It was a bit hard to breathe under him. I eventually gave up my struggle and relaxed under him, resting my chin on his shoulder. Our breathing was in perfect motion. As I inhaled he exhaled. I felt his abs moving with my stomach. It was a strange yet wonderful feeling. 


After laying under him for sometime it became impossible to breathe. I flipped him over with all the force I could muster. We swapped positions with me now being on top of him. Now that I was able to breathe I took in a large breath of air, stabilizing myself. I laid there spread across Theo's body, with my head placed on his chest. This felt like a dream. This is the happiest I've been in the longest time! Being in this sort of position with some like Theo could only happen in a fairytale. I don't think he feels the same though. It must have been a little awkward for him, but I just couldn't bring myself to get off of him. It felt amazing, just laying there... with him.


"Crap, what time is it!" Theo asked, worried. He sat up, bringing me with him."I-I don't know." I answered nervously. Why did he need the time? He broke the ever so great moment that we had by standing up. I thought I caught a look of sadness, or disappointment on his face as he stood. It was probably just me though. I sat on the floor and watched as he grabbed his phone. He scanned it a moment before turning his gaze to me.


"Well its eight-thirty which means we probably missed dinner." Theo sighed a little. So that's what this was about. Somehow we managed to miss the dinner bell. That kinda sucks, I was looking forward to dinner. I haven't eaten much today so my stomach is definitely ready for something.


"Why don't we check to see if there are any leftovers?" I suggest, pulling myself off the floor.


"Alright. I doubt they'll have anything good though." Theo responded. He's probably right, though it wouldn't hurt to check.


We made our way out the door and into the beautiful night, welcomed by the delightful air and the chirps of the crickets. Walking around at night with Theo is always so much fun. Heck, just spending any time with Theo is fun.


As we opened the door to the food hall we noticed how barren it was. I made my way to the buffet tables and to my disappointment the only thing that was left were some smelly shellfish and a weird type of vegetable that I'm sure no one would eat.


"Just as I figured." Theo sighed, coming up behind me. I looked back to him in disappointment. It was my turn to sigh. "Aw well, I guess we'll have to go without dinner tonight." I spoke with obvious disappointment.


Theo placed a hand on my shoulder. "Don't worry I'll think of something." He said positively, then nudged his head towards the door. "Let's go." We exited the food hall and entered the night once again.


I sighed. "I could really do with some pizza right now." I said jokingly. Though that would be beyond amazing. I just knew it was very unlikely in this situation, hence why I called it a joke. Theo stayed quiet as we strolled back to the cabin, probably lost in thought. I watched him curiously and noticed a smile appear on his face.


"I've got an idea." He announced, with his smile turning into a grin. "Follow me." He continued with him growing a little suspicious. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried. Though I did as he said anyway. He had us creeping through the dark despite there being a stone path close by, illuminated by street lamps. I continued following him until we reached the sidewalk of a street.


"Where are we going?" I ask, with worry clear in my tone.


"We're heading into town." He answered with a devious smirk appearing on his face.


"B-But we aren't allowed to!" I state nervously.


"Doesn't matter." Theo replied keeping the grin intact.


He extended a hand. "Trust me?" He questioned, waiting for me to take hold. I hesitantly reached for his hand. Once I slid my small hands into his he gripped them and pulled me along with him. 


We jogged through the night. It was exhilarating. Even though I was worried about being caught outside the camp, or park, I was having a lot of fun. Plus, holding Theo's hand like this was enough reason for me to follow him.
