as he waited for suzy to open the door, he nodded his head at the passing girls that he assumed were rooming with her. ricky didn’t think of what they were saying or thinking, he was more focused on suzy and the day ahead out on the lake. ricky grinned widely as she opened the door up for him, her arms welcoming him. he stepped forward, wrapping his own arms around her for a hug. ricky’s smile never faltered as she started asking all the questions, something that had originally shocked him, but now he had grown accustomed to it. shaking his head as he stepped back from her, he said, “you won’t ruin it, suzy. but if you do end up flipping us over, that’s fine. honestly, flipping over is half the fun of canoeing.” he tried his best to soothe her because he knew that she was nervous about it.

“yeah, i’ve gone a couple times with my dad and a couple of friends,” ricky stated, and even though he missed a couple of his friends from back home, he didn’t miss his dad. plus, suzy was there, and it always seemed like the two of them had known each other for ages despite it only being a couple weeks. “it’s really not that bad, i promise you.” he reassured her with a smile.

suzy gave a small squeeze with their hug, something to show appreciation and excitement to be with him for the rest of the day. “flipping over is half the fun? i don’t think i’ve ever heard anyone say that before. i have heard ‘don’t rock the boat’ before, so now i don’t know which rule to follow. do i intentionally rock the boat or not? this is far too confusing.” she laughed, obviously joking with her words and finding it to be hilarious.

“that sounds like so much fun, and i’m glad to have someone with some experience with me on my first try. imagine us doing it with neither of us having any clue how to. that would be a mess, we’d surely fall over the minute we get in the canoe.” it was definitely an over exaggeration, but that was half of what suzy said most of the time. “i believe you, and i’m excited anyway.”

ofrickys:

the past few weeks at camp weren’t nearly as bad as ricky had anticipated, though a lot of that was due to suzy. he wasn’t expecting people to be as warm and accepting as she was, and ricky had probably grown the closest to her out of everyone. he wasn’t one to open up easily to people, and granted she had only seen bits of who he was, but she was the one he felt like he could tell anything to. so when the two of them talked about canoeing at one point, ricky was excited to go with her.

luckily for them, the weather had been perfect for canoeing, despite some sporadic clouds in the sky. clad in some swim trunks and a light cotton shirt, ricky made his way to suzy’s cabin before knocking lightly on the door.

camp exceeded her expectations, in her mind she begged and prayed whatever higher form out there for her to have a good time, and things ended up even better than she could have hoped for. she became in tune with nature, falling asleep to the sounds of the river closest to her and the wind brushing through the trees. she felt the sun on her skin every day, and developed bonds she hoped would last a lifetime. the bond she knew would last was with the fellow ginger at the camp, and she could only say that her and ricky meeting here and developing this friendship was a work of fate. she could be with him for hours and never be bored, even if they just sat in silence she could be comfortable and worry free. he also got her out of her comfort zone, as she had never expected herself to go canoeing until he asked her to.

she put on her bathing suit, and a thin dress as a coverup on top. she sat on her bed patiently, excited to see ricky and their adventure for the day. awaiting for that special knock, the second she heard it she jumped off her bed and ran to the door. she opened it with her arms opened wide for a hug for her friend, and a smile to display how happy she was. “i’m so excited! i’ve never done this before and i’m admittedly nervous for it in case i mess up and ruin it for us. i really hope i don’t, will you forgive me if i do end up somehow knocking us over and falling out? have you done this before? i’m so silly, i didn’t even think to ask that.” she rambled on, per usual.

ofrickys:

“i know, i know. i’m definitely going to have to work on it before i ever even try to publish anything,” he teased with a shrug of his shoulders. it was a joke, mainly because ricky let most things just roll right off of him no matter what. ricky grinned at her statement before nodding at the one following. “ya caught me, suzy.” he laughed, though the thought of leaving camp wasn’t something he had considered at all yet. he waved his hand, dismissing the idea entirely. “i’m sure you can’t be all that bad.”

“my god, i just realized you’re going to be a model and author. you’ll be a double package, have book signings at your next modeling exhibit showing off your tan and whatever the next thing you decide to do is. don’t forget me when you reach the top.” she giggled at herself. “well i hate to break it to you but i think it would be better to stick to simple texts rather than email.” she teased, he was still yet to see her texts. she either wrote completely illegible abbreviations or a novel. “this is just the beginning of the friendship, so of course you think that. well hopefully i won’t start to annoy you when we are at level twenty eight or so.”

ofrickys:

“i think my sensitive ego might be able to handle that,” he stated with a grin. “maybe not. though lois lane can certainly be your alter ego,” ricky nodded his head. he could have gone more into it, but he figured she wouldn’t want to know about any of it. plus, he didn’t want to bore her. “yeah, i get that. though emails are a lot quicker and you can get the message across better, you know?” he shrugged his shoulders with a smile. “you could never annoy me.”

“well hopefully your ego isn’t too sensitive, you wouldn’t survive in the art world if it was.” she was similar in that sense, yet contradictory in itself, she did many things she knew she would be judged for but it brought her joy, but if she knew or was judged her heart would break and she would never do it again. “and you’re my superman.” she smiled, looking up to her taller friend with her head leaning towards the side. “that’s true, is this your way of telling me you want to write emails once we leave?” she teased, hating that they were from different places and wouldn’t be able to hang out as easily. “you say that now.”

ofrickys:

“you’re absolutely right. but even real friends would laugh at a bad tan line, and i wouldn’t be able to blame them either,” he laughed, though he knew that out of everyone, suzy would always be the one that would be there for him no matter what. “it is! and i think i’ll be okay if you’re lois. superman’s never able to function without her honestly. though with your hair, you could also be poison ivy, but i think lois works a lot better.” ricky stated with a grin, the comic book nerd side of him showing up slightly. “i understand. it’s peaceful without it, but i also want to be able to know what’s going on out there, ya know? and yeah, letters. i get the nostalgia of it, but email wouldn’t be too bad either,” ricky agreed with a soft chuckle. “are you sure? watching me scribble down some words isn’t going to bore you? and i’m not so sure about the greatest writer, but i hope to get up there.”

“well i might giggle, but i won’t laugh too much at your bad tan lines.” she smiled in response, laughing alongside him. “i don’t think i’d be a good villain, so she’s out of the race for my DC alter ego.” she wasn’t an avid comic book reader, but her sister was an artist and drew a lot of inspiration from such stories so she knew enough. “i’d rather write letters then emails, i just get overall weird vibes from email. they seem too formal, letters seem more friendly and personal.” she was starting to think she should start writing letters. “of course it won’t bore me, i might annoy you though.”

ofrickys:

“at least you would help me out. some people would just leave me to my own devices, which is quite rude in my opinion,” he laughed, completely joking. ricky nodded his head, continuing to play along as if it was true. “well, it’s certainly figuratively steel. though if it was literal steel, you could call me the man of steel.” he raised an eyebrow, his grin spreading as he hoped she would understand what he was referencing. ricky wrapped his pinky around hers, nodding his head doing so. “i’m not sure. i would google it, but we don’t have any access to it.” he released it, shrugging his shoulders before leaning back into his chair. “would you want to? i mean, it’s not top secret, but i’m sure it would be boring to just sit there and watch me write.”

“well they’re not real, supportive friends then if they won’t help you achieve your goal.” she was always a loyal friend, and couldn’t understand people that weren’t supportive of their friends like her or her sister was. “man of steel? isn’t that superman or something? well if you’re superman i’m lois lane, i’ve got the hair for it.” of course she was talking about amy adams as lois lane, as that was the only time she’s ever seen anything about superman. she pulled her much smaller pinky back from his after they made their promise, nodding her head alongside his. “i love it and i hate it, i don’t mind being away from my phone but in moments like these i wish i could use it. also because i want to talk to my sister and not have to wait forever for her to respond.” writing letters was classic but the instant reply was great as well. “no, i wouldn’t mind. not to mention it would be cool to say i watched the greatest writer of our time writing his first story back when he was a regular teen.”

tfricky:

“would you still support me if i told you i have some really bad tan lines, though?” he asked, raising an eyebrow. though he was glad that she had visibly started to seem like she was feeling better, even if it was just her mood. “i have an immune system of steel, a little contact is not going to affect me in anyway,” ricky shook his head, not surprised that suzy would be thinking that far into the scenario. “i’m sure i could. i’ll get right on that.”

“of course i would support you, i would just then have to help you even out your tan and reduce those tan lines.” as if she knew anything about tanning, all she knew was to coat yourself in sunscreen and let the sun do the rest of the work, but she could try to help. “of steel? imagine if your immune system was of actual steel, that would be so bad and just crazy. but if it is steel then i suppose i can pinky promise with you.” she wrapped her pinky around his to keep his promise. “i wonder why pinky promises are so important, how did it even start? who decided to wrap their pinky around someone elses and that meant they had to keep their promise?” she wasn’t complaining, just curious. “could i join or would it ruin your muse?”

A warm, appreciative smile remains. “ Thank you. ” working for the campers is the reason he’s here, but he values highly the independence of a courteous few. “ First time here? ” he ventures, trying to place whether they had met before.

she didn’t want to overwork the counselors, she wanted them to have as much fun as the campers they watched over and planned events for. “it’s no problem.” she rasped out, smiling at the man. “yes, first time camping ever actually.”

“Technically, I didn’t lie. I didn’t say I was one, I just honor like one. God, this would work much better if it was a swear.”

“that is true, so it is all forgotten and forgiven. or is it forgiven and forgotten? either way it’s okay.”

#tysonhartt

tfricky:

“thank you, i really appreciate it,” he grinned, though a slight hint of worry appeared as her voice turned raspy, just because ricky hadn’t completely realised how sick she was. “a pinkie will not infect me,” he pointed out, “plus, our pinkie promise wouldn’t be legit if we didn’t actually use our pinkies.” ricky laughed, shaking his head at himself. “oh, only because i’ve been busy. and it’s hard to find a quiet place to write, you know? though i’ll find one eventually.”

“well of course, i’m your friend so i’m going to support you and your beautiful tan.” she laughed, already feeling better since she had a friend with her. “i don’t want to risk it though, what if you touch my pinky and start coughing and get sick! i would feel so guilty because then i’d ruin your camping experience!” it wouldn’t ruin it, but she tended to be dramatic with these things. “we’re in the wilderness, i’m sure if you walk enough you’ll find a quiet place free from campers and counselors alike.”

ricky laughed, leaning back into his chair. he hadn’t really done anything too exciting, but he figured that he should tell her something just so she wouldn’t be bored. “i’ve been good, bored without having you around. i went swimming again, got a little bit of a tan,” he told her with a shrug of his shoulders. “oh, well thanks, suzy. i pinkie promise,” he agreed, offering her his pinkie finger. “cross my heart and hope to die.”

suzy relied on ricky for most of her fun at camp, already considering him one of her good friends if not a best friend. “i can tell, you’re tan is improving. i’m so proud of you, you’re tan for your art show is already improving.” she teased, her voice raspy to show how sick she was. “i can’t give you my pinkie right now, i’m not gonna risk getting you sick!” she exclaimed, worried for her friends help. “good, but why haven’t you been writing here?”

#tfricky

tfricky:

“you will. just eat some soup and lay down and you’ll be fine in no time,” he reassured her, hoping that she would end up feeling better soon enough. “you say that now, but just wait. they’ll be on the same level as a five year olds. and i haven’t really been writing a lot since i got here, but i’ll show you, okay?”

“well how have you been ricky? catch me up on the woes and tales of your life, make it sound like a story and entertain me with it. my life is so dull i need to live vicariously through others fun times.” she explained, trying to lighten the mood and take the attention away from her. “no they won’t, i believe in you and you should believe in yourself! pinky promise you’ll show me soon? cross your heart and hope to die?”

#tfricky

ziipper:

“ Hey, it’s no trouble. ” he insists, moving to sit near the sweet-tempered red-head. “ Listen, when you get bored of me, let me know and I’ll go grab you some tea or something, okay? ”.

“Really? I don’t want to put you to work or anything, and if I need anything I can get it myself.” It would just be sucky for her. “I won’t get bored of you, promise.”

#ziiper

tysonnhartt:

“Nope, but I can still honor with the best of them.”

“Well it’s not very honorable to lie about being a boy scout, but i’ll let it slide.”

#tysonhartt

tfricky:

“no way, you’ll feel better sooner than you realise,” he flashed a grin, hoping that she would feel back to normal soon. “exactly. i mean, mine won’t be fantastic, but it’ll be better than you sitting in here not doing anything.”

“Fingers crossed, and toes crossed because I really wanna get better.” She giggled, at least she could be happy and have some type of fun while stuck in bed. “Stop bringing yourself down, your arts and crafts will be beautiful! That reminds me, you need to show me some of your writing!”

#tfricky

“Yeah, well, I can’t really afford to get sick so, it’s still a no.”

“Well I understand, I don’t want to get anyone sick.”

“You can have another lesson to make up when you feel better.”

“Thank you, and I promise this isn’t an excuse to get out of it because I really do want to go!”
