Well I love you to Ethan."
"But?" Ethan asked.
"But nothing. You just need to learn that if someone is important to you, you treat them with respect and cherish them."
"It's hard Sawyer. I am who I am."
"Yeah, but so am I Ethan. I don't do drama."
"We won't last if it continues," Sawyer added.
"I couldn't bare to see that," Ethan declared.
"Then don't Ethan."
What Sawyer said went over Ethan's head. It worried Sawyer. As smart as Ethan was, occasionally he could be really dense.
Ethan woke up and took a walk along the lake that resided in Destin Woods. It was small, but incredibly beautiful. Ethan walked along the edge. He thought about last night. He didn't know what came over him, grabbing Sawyer like that and kissing him.
He wasn't officially in a relationship with Sawyer yet, but he believed things were heading in the right direction.
He started to miss Sawyer, so he headed back to the tent.
Ethan entered the tent and got back into his sleeping bag. When he laid sideways in his sleeping bag, he looked at Sawyer. Just then Sawyer opened his eyes and he and Ethan made eye contact.
Ethan leaned over and kissed Sawyer on the lips. He held Sawyer's kiss for a long moment, then he went to kiss his eyes. Sawyer closed them so he could. Ethan kissed both eyes. Then he went back to Sawyer's lips. The back of his fingertips caressed Sawyer's cheeks.
"I love you Sawyer."
Sawyer whispered it back. Ethans eyes released a few tears. Sawyer didn't seem to notice. Ethan cradled Sawyer in his arms.
Ethan kissed Sawyer all over his face. "I love you so much Sawyer."
Sawyer just gave in to Ethan. "I have never met anyone so beautiful and so loving in all my life," Ethan continued. "I love your hair, your eyes, and the feel of your lips to mine."
Ethan pulled Sawyer closer to him, and squeezed him hard. "Ethan!"
Ethan took Sawyer again with his lips, this time sticking his tongue deep into Sawyer's mouth. He pulled Sawyer on top of him, and continued his kiss. Sawyer could hardly breathe Ethan was so rough.
They rolled. Ethan pulled himself out of his sleeping bag and went into Sawyers'. Sawyer cried out, Ethan went for his stomach and nearly died upon feeling how soft it was. "Ethan stop! Please. I - I can't breathe. I'm still so new at this. Let's go slowly." Ethan kissed Sawyer.
Then coaxingly replied. "Ok Sawyer. Ok. I just want you so badly."
He kissed Sawyer again, then slowly pulled away and out of Sawyer's sleeping bag.
"I love you Sawyer." He cradled Sawyer in his arms. "I love you so much."
He continued to kiss Sawyer's face, kissed it until Sawyer fell asleep in his arms.
Sawyer laid in Ethan's arms until late that evening. All they did the entire day was swap kisses and tell each other how much they loved one another. Ethan was crazy about Sawyer. Sawyer loved it to.
They finally pulled themselves out of the tent late into the evening and grabbed some marshmallows and made a fire and dangled twelve until they were black and creamy in the middle.
"Damn," Ethan said. "These are good." They were finally tearing into them.
Sawyer smiled. "They really are. Dad makes smores using chocolate and graham crackers when we go camping."
Ethan smiled. "Yeah. My dad doesn't camp ..................... in fact, I don't think Dad does anything except numbers and business."
Sawyer empathized. "Well, my dad hasn't taken me camping in years."
When they finished eating, they made their way to the lake. At first it was just to hang out. Sawyer said he loved standing over water, enjoyed feeling the water vapors in the air and the sparkle of light dancing off of the sky. But then he looked at Ethan looking devilish. "Wanna go swimming?"
Ethan smiled from ear to ear. "Sawyer, I didn't bring any swimming trunks."
"Just go in your briefs. It's not that cold."
Ethan laughed so hard it scared Sawyer.
Sawyer then stripped of his shirt. Then he took his shoes, socks, and shorts off.
"I'm going in. You can stay out here if you want."
Sawyer jumped into the water. Ethan watched as he splashed around and swam about.
"Are you coming in!"
Ethan looked at him. "Ok."
Ethan stripped down to his briefs then jumped into the water.
Sawyer watched him swim the lake more fluidly than any fish he'd ever seen.
"Good God Ethan, is there anything you can't do?"
Ethan laughed.
He swam up close to Sawyer. "Tennis. I can't play tennis to save my life."
"Wow. Ethan isn't invincible after all."
Sawyer joked.
They were nose to nose. "No I'm invincible," Ethan smiled.
Sawyer smiled even more.
Ethan laughed. "Sawyer, are you going to kiss me?"
Sawyer looked dumbfounded for a second. "Yeah."
Sawyer kissed Ethan. His movement was slow and gentle, unlike Ethan who loved to be rough. Sawyer's bottom lip went over Ethans'. He withdrew.
Ethan ducked underwater suddenly. Sawyer had no idea what he was doing until he felt something touch him under the water. It's better left unsaid concerning what happened next, but needless to say, Sawyer was screaming for mercy by the time Ethan was through.
They got out of the water in a flash.
"Do you think you can do just anything you want to me Ethan?" Sawyer said, getting in his face and pushing him.
"Just how inexperienced are you Sawyer?"
"I'll show you inexperienced."
