Camping Ask Pt2
This was such a good ask and now I'm back for more. The Hero Reform squad is on a camping trip and there's no signal. Who loves it and who hates it?? If you remember, Phichit left before they could even raise a tent despite Victor's pleas, leaving the hero with Chris who's desperately trying to be OK and Yuuri who's here for a good time, not a long time because his anxiety is telling him it's time to GO once the sun sets.
Oh yes and I'll be telling this story with the help of Schitt's Creek gifs.
Yurio's attitude depends entirely on the fact that a certain someone is also on this camping trip (character dynamic spoiler, so I'm not naming names). He's pouty and quietly grumbly most of the time because he can't use his switch but he would've been FAR worse if this certain someone wasn't also on the trip. He's dragging his feet behind the entire party on their hike to the campsite. He's moodily poking the pile of wood that's meant to be their fire with a stick because he's "helping". He's secretly rolling his eyes whenever the more chipper campers suggest campfire songs to sing. When the certain someone offers to teach him to fish, he reluctantly gives it the old POLITE college try before bowing out, opting for shadowing Victor and grumbling his complaints to his brother. Because he sees right through Victor's act. Chris stays away from Yurio bc he's afraid that the teen is going to out him by being a wet blanket. The only thing that he secretly kind of enjoys is in fact the stargazing. It's peaceful and he likes finding the patterns that make up the constellations. It reminds him of... Animal Crossing.
Yurio when Chris tries to talk himself into being optimistic for the trip:
One time, when Robin and Kenza were new to History Maker, Axle and Felix took them glamping which is like the super cushy and sheltered version of camping. They've been in love with "camping" ever since. They loved the open air aspect of hanging out with their buds and being able to do more outdoorsy things like making smores, fishing, and stargazing. At the end of the day, they could always retreat to their fully furnished tent so it wasn't bad at all! So when the squad camp trip came up they were both like "Yeah OF COURSE we'll go camping with you guys again! This is gonna be awesome! Let's bring everyone!! :DD" But Axle and Felix didn't tell them that they'd be *for real* camping in normal tents at a camp site that they have to hike to.
The thing is, Robin is by no means an outdoorsy person. They only agreed to go on the 1st camping trip when they were promised that they'd have all the comforts of home with the added benefit of being surrounded by nature. So they and Kenza are trying to cover up their distress and disappointment (much more successfully than Chris and Victor) as they hike through the woods, swatting bugs and avoiding animal poo. Kenza enjoys nature a bit more than Robin who is a homebody, but not by much. She's a "jog through the park and stop to admire the ducks on the pond, maybe sit on the grass for a while" girly. Not a "roughin it" girly. They end up enjoying themselves a bit more once they can sit down and make smores under the stars. They're stressed but you'd never know it. They even come up with cute songs to cheer up the other party poopers.

Robin to Kenza when they're 2 hours into the hike, covered in bug bites, and still haven't reached the campsite:
Felix and Axle are responsible for this little excursion. They were actually only aiming to have Kenza, Robin, and Yurio come but they lucked out; Kenza and Robin asked Victor and Yurio to come and Yurio couldn't say no since it was 2 against 1. So Victor begged Yuuri K. to come who gave him an easy yes. And then Yuuri K. asked Phichit to come who said "lol sure," and Phichit asked Chris to come. Felix and Axle barely had to lift a finger.
Anyways, these boys love the great outdoors. Hiking, mountain climbing, white water rafting, you name it. They've been trying to get Kenza and Robin into the more natural side of life which is why they started soft with glamping. And that's how they trapped them. They are so ECSTATIC that everyone came along, so much so that they are not too upset when Phichit decides to leave. They're not totally aware that everyone else isn't having the best time because they're just excited that they were able to get such a large party to come with them. For Axle, he's just thrilled that he gets to spend time with everyone away from the stress of work. He misses everyone :')
Felix is checking out the birds, pointing out snakes, finding animal tracks, teaching the squad how to do camping stuff, and picking out the mushrooms you can eat. Whole time Axle is beside him hiding happy tears.
