After pulling up my sleeves to wash up for the day, space kid ran in, vomit trapped in his helmet,

"Oh god, child!" I screamed before helping him pull it off, attempting to keep all digested food in the fishbowl, "Why didn't you take off your helmet when you were feeling sick??" I questioned.

"We were doing the gallon challenge and I thought I could make it." He answered. I pinched my nose before wetting a washcloth,

"Why not do a nice, simple challenge that you won't throw up with. Like the ice bucket or maybe the chubby bunny." I suggested, wiping down Space kid.

"Those ones are dead, Samuel."

"(Y/N). But that doesn't mean they're not fun- and a bit safer." I paused, "Okay, whatever, how about you guys go do the birdbox challenge, enjoy yourselves and try not to die, but just don't throw up and tell me how long you last." I mothered, cleaning the rest of Space kid and his helmet, "And don't put your helmet back on for a while-" I paused, examining the glass, "Actually I'll keep it, for now, run along."

He nodded, "Thank you, Samuel." And with that, he left.

"I-" I sighed, "(Y/N)... Its (Y/N)."

After cleaning up a bit more, I left the mess hall. It was surprisingly hot today, and that ice bucket challenge honestly sounded nice.

Maybe I can convince some of the campers for the challenge, I do enjoy the interactions.

Speaking of-

David stood by the camp mobile, talking to the main trio, holding some flowers. I tilted my head slightly as I approached.

"Flowers?" I asked, utterly disrupting their conversation. David turned to me before gently placing the flowers in my hand,

"For you, I wanna take you on a date tonight."

"Not even gonna ask?"

David laughed nervously, his face flushing slightly, "Well, (Y/N), do you-?"

"Yes, David." I laughed. Max pretended to barf.

"I would be disgusted by the idea of your date plans, but on the contrary, I'm pretty sure it's just some sort of Ken doll situation down there," Niel said, pointing to David's crotch, admittedly causing my eyes to slide down and question it myself.

David embarrassingly covered himself, putting up a hostile expression, "Well, you're wrong!"

Nikki intertwined her fingers, "Sooo where are you guys gonna go?"

David paused, "I actually haven't picked a place yet."

"I noticed a restaurant while we were in town," Niel suggested. Max nudged him slightly,

"Don't encourage him."

"That's the perfect place!" David's eyes lit up as Max grumbled,

"Goddammit. I'm out." Max then trudged away, Nikki and Niel closely following. With David's back towards me, my eyes trailed.

I slapped his butt.

He jerked forward, his eyes widening with a small shriek. I burst out into loud laughter, holding my stomach as if it would contain the joy.

He glared slightly, a small smile on his face but an ever-present blush.

//

Dressing in a T-Shirt and shorts was the best I was going to do for looking nice, and it honestly didn't bother me.

We went to 'Still the only bar'

Which I honestly had to smile at the title, David didn't seem as amused but that's probably because he's been here many more times.

Seeing Nikki with a mustache only arose even more laughter, it made my cute level way too high, I couldn't help from tap her head as I walked by.

We sat down together, Niel weirdly being our waiter like the owner of the place was fine with it. They eventually left us, sitting at their own table.

"So, Davey, Baby, what brought up the idea of a date?" I asked, taking one end the straw's wrapper off.

"Well-" he was caught off by me blowing the straw wrapper at his chest. He laughed for a moment before taking the wrapper and fidgeting it between his fingers.

"Well-" he paused once again, like getting words out was difficult. My playful mood was starting to be replaced with worry,

"Everything okay?" I asked.

"We have what? 30 days of summer left?" He asked. I looked away, thinking momentarily before giving up on counting in my head, I instead simply gave a small nod.

"What happens after summer?" He asked. I smiled gently,

"I come back next summer, or I visit you constantly out of summer." I shrugged. "I know everything will turn out okay."

He looked away momentarily before giving a smile.

"C'mon, you're the positive one, why's this bothering you?"

He shrugged, before looking to me, "So, what would you like to eat?" He asked. I scanned my menu,

"Spaghetti sounds good, let's lady and the tramp this shit."

He laughed gently, "I'll take that too."

A girl with pink hair then approached, a wide grin taking over her features,

"You love birds ready to order?"

"Yeah." David smiled.

A tall lady in a trench coat then approached, very familiar but I just couldn't put my finger on it. She leaned over my space, facing David,

"Hey, there sexy, see anything you like?" She asked. I narrowed my eyes, halfway into standing,

"Who the fuck do you-"

"Umm, do I know you?" David question.

"No, do you want to?" The person then attempted to take a drink from my water, choking on it in the process. "Plenty more where that came from."

"Woah, no, back the fuck up." I fully stood at this point, pressing my index finger on the woman's chest.

"Jeez, what tipped you-"

"Your face tipped me that's what, now the cutie right there is mine, I ask that you back away."

"WHAT??"

"Did your stomach just talk?" David questioned. I backed off slightly too look down her trench coat and see an angry red eye,

"What the-?!" I backed up slightly.

"Umm, I'm hungry. Hungry for the D!"

"If anyone's getting that D it's-" I was cut off by a small child bursting from the coat and on top of the table.

"Hey, Max? I think I caused a scene..." Niel muttered, standing with the waitress.

"Back the fuck off my man you skank!" What the fuck is that Tabii? Did I just yell at 3 ten-year-olds?? I stood by David, watching the show go down.

She threw a fork only for it to come back and attack her eye. She then screamed she blood poured from her eye.

"Holy fucking shit!" Niel screamed. I covered my boyfriend's eyes.

"Oh my goodness, are you okay?"

"I'll kill you, slut!" Tabii screamed,

"Holy shit, chill Tabii!" I yelled, tugging the girl by her satchel away from the waitress.

David finally snapped out of... Whatever mood he was in and stood, "Wait, Tabii?"

"Tabii, seriously, what the fuck?!" Sasha screamed. Erin then popped up,

"You got blood on my boots." She whined. David, finally taking in the people in the room, rose his brows,

"The flower scouts?" He then instinctly turned, magically finding the trio on their way to escape, "Max!!"

So glad he's taking charge now.

"Damn it."

David walked up, his 'angry counselor' face on as he put that disappointed mother hands on hips thing.

"Did you three have something to do with this?"

"No-"

"Yes!" Nikki yelled. Ah, sweet girl.

Max sighed, "I'm so sick of you and Samuel constantly together. You're a camp counselor, you counsel our camp, not to do whatever with your new girlfriend! I'm admitting this! Camp activities are not the same when David is constantly in this different state just because Samuel is around! It's more annoying than his annoying self! It's like he's a whole different person!"

David turned to me, an uncertain expression on his face.

"Kids..." He struggled to put the words in place. "I'm sorry I haven't really been myself lately, I've had a lot of things on my mind with me running the camp and well, adult stuff. But that's no reason to try and rid of a connection between two people-"

Max cut him off, "oh, it is, you guys are a snooze storm with your googly eyes and hidden touches, don't act like we can't see them."

"I thought you wanted to break up with Samuel," Nikki commented. I felt a hit to my chest before I quickly looked to David,

"What?"

"Nikki, w-when did I ever say that?" David asked. Niel decided to answer,

"Well, you just... Don't seem as happy?" Niel pondered. I felt another pang to my chest. I don't want to sound like a drama queen, but my chest was getting so tight, breathing was off its air pilot.

Is he really not as happy with me?

Oh God, more angst.

David dropped a knee, becoming level with the children, "we don't get to choose how or who we fall for, and we don't get to choose if or when those feelings go away. Sometimes those feelings can get you down, and make you think a lot that you probably shouldn't, and it makes you feel alone. But, that shouldn't take away the good times you had together because it keeps you remembering how happy the other person makes you, and that shouldn't take away the things you learned about yourself." He paused, standing and looking to me with a soft smile,

"It's okay to be worried, or anxious, or confused about your relationship, and its okay to feel like you've lost somethings, but you can always go back to the number one person who makes you happy and resolve everything, and be thankful for the experience you gained of communicating. And with relationships, after enough time, and enough understanding, the relationship and take a step further, riding a lot of the worries and replacing them with positive interactions. You always want the best for them, even if you have to take time to clear your head, maybe accidentally hurting people around you, and that's okay, cause everything turns out great in the end." David finished, gently grabbing my hand. The children surprisingly smiles softly at the speech, although Nikki didn't seem to understand. David then released my hand, instead wrapping and arm around my waist,

"Alright, let's call it a night."

I was gonna ask about dinner but I guess we really do need to get Tabii to a medical room.

We all walked out, getting into the camp mobile.

"Next time, we try to make David jealous." Max whispered to Niel. I placed a hand on his shoulder,

"Did you not listen to anything David said?" I questioned.

"I blanked halfway through."
