🧙 WHO: Souma and Jongdae
⚔️️ WHAT: Spotted Dick Mission. Two idiots with feelings sharing a tent, what could go wrong.
🕒 WHEN: right now
🗺️ WHERE: Ash Mountains
⚠️ WARNINGS: I predict language and suggestive themes.
[As the day drew to a close and the shadows were at their longest, Souma was steadily moving along at a speed normal sane people would continue strenuous. His gait had been this same speed all day, and he had never really broken a sweat. In fact, he rather looked like he were out for a constitutional in a park rather than climbing a tall grassy mountainside.
Every now and then he stopped to see if Jongdae were still with him, at first anyway. By now he was fascinated with the mountain in the oncoming twilight and he had stopped paying attention to anyone or anything else at all. This place was a bit like his home!
Souma was excited to peer behind each boulder or explore each tree. He chuckled to see each furry little orange caterpillar drop from the trees above like a tiny dive-bombing bird of prey. Every mud puddle or orb spider's web captivated him. ]
It is becoming dark.
[He says this while watching a large black and yellow spider lower itself from an ash tree on a thin line of silk. It's so amazing!!]
I think that this cleaning is a good place to camp. We should eat the evening meal. Sleep. I hear water from over there-- [He points to the trees to the left.] A small river. Smells clean.

it probably also takes him longer because he keeps looking over at what souma's doing and it's hard not to have the same thought because he's seen the meme. he's quoted the meme a hundred times because he thinks it's great. the broader implications of him thinking about that meme hit him a little later, when he remembers the whole point was lemme smash, and now his mind is busy spinning around that thought. ]
Yes. Wait. What?
[ what he'd missed was the question but he'd already started talking before he could think of the simple act of asking for clarification. missed the words but not the tone of voice, which is probably why jongdae seems uncertain about his affirmative answer after a moment. said like that... what had he just said yes to? ]
no subject
[He has to stop and think of the next words, but it also makes a nice dramatic pause. He takes a deep breath to steady himself, and then moves forward.
He can count the number of times he has shared an opinion verbally to Jongdae on one hand. It might be so simple for there people, but to Souma, it feels very much like something he shouldn't do. And venturing out of that protective shell of safety... it can be intimidating.]
It will be fun.
[Souma pauses and looks directly into Jongdae's eyes. The sunset colors are reflected there, and it is so beautiful that he can't help but take a step closer. He bites his lower lip, feeling the familiar sharp way his heart aches inside, and savoring it.
If love is real, maybe that is what the beginning of it feels like.]
Camping out. Catch dinner. Bathe in a river. Watch stars.
You said that... that I should have fun. More.
[He fidgets just a bit with his hands, forcing himself not to look down.]
Do, do you remember? In Ryslig. I did not think I should. H...
[Here his voice catches, and he has to slow down to coach himself through the sound.]
H. Ha, ha-have, have. Fun. Because...
Because I th-thought I might. Become... accustomed. And then when I was sent back to... to my world. It would hurt so. Much.
[He looks to Jongdae now, wondering if that was too much to say. It's hard learning this.]
Sometimes... I fear that I...
[Souma stops and runs his hand over the back of his neck, rubbing it.]
I come across like a whipped dog. Don't I.
