let the screaming ensue. sure, it may not have been entirely terrifying and somewhere in his mind david knew that jasper was just messing with him and this wasn’t a true story. but what else could you expect from a counselor who had to watch over various children in a deep lake to make sure none would go under — the guy was tired and delirious out of his mind. if that wasn’t enough, he was rather more sporadic than usual.
when the man jumped, he’d knocked the flashlight out of jasper’s hand, causing it to plummet to the floor as the batteries came flying out the bottom of it. hopefully it wasn’t broken. after a short time, david found himself reaching backwards to feel for the bed, and before long sitting himself back down. “ s-ssorry, jasper. “ there were heavy breaths as the counselor rubbed his eyes with a hand. “ y-you know not to scare m-me all suddenly like that… especially — “ he yawned, “ not when i’m s-so tired. “
As soon as David let out that familiar girlish shriek, Jasper couldn’t keep his cool any longer. And after a curt snort escaped him, he began to laugh.
Even as the flashlight went hurdling out of his hands, the man only continued his childish snorts and laughter. Putting a hand on his stomach to keep the pains of laughing so hard, to as much of a minimum as he could manage.
Gosh did Jasper love ghost stories with Davey~
After a few minutes of laughing, Jasper eventually settled, and with another snort, the man brought his hand to his mouth. Looking towards the direction of David as he spoke, and then listening to him as he went to feel around, and sit back down on the bed beside him.
“Gee Davey, I’m sorry!” Jasper finally piped up, snickering again before he cleared his throat and just bit his lip with a goofy smile.
“Though, not to rag on you or anything but-- I don’t think you being tired has anything to do with your major freak-out~” As Jasper said this, he gave a gentle, playful nudge to the other.
