The Scavenger Hunt
A collaboration with @serve-302
"It HAS to be here! Somewhere!" Alton said, looking around intently, searching for something he couldn't find.
"Affirmative." said SERVE-302, beside him. The drone was also searching the area, though in a more analytical and cold manner. "Our analysis of the latest clue seems efficient and correct, and just as Alton deduced, this forest fits perfectly."
"Yeah... but, where?"
302 and Alton were on a 'mission' different from the usual SERVE tasks and Golden Army training sessions. This time, it was a scavenger hunt, a recreational activity organized by both groups in which one member from each teamed up to find clues and win the prize.
A simple yet entertaining activity to strengthen the bonds between the two groups... though that didn't mean it was going to be a walk in the park.
"Oh, damn..." Alton exclaimed.
"Query: What?"
"The clue... it said something about not letting the forest hide the branches, remember?"
"Affirmative."
"It has to be..."
The athlete and the drone began to scan the branches in search of something unusual.
"There!" Alton exclaimed, pointing to one of the highest branches.
"Affirmative. Alton found the next clue." 302 stated.
"But it's really high up..." Alton said. "And those branches don't look strong enough to climb up there."
"Suggestion: If Alton climbs onto 302's shoulders, he should be able to reach the next clue." The drone explained this after analyzing the potential density of the branches and the combined height of itself and the athlete.
"Great idea! But, are you sure? I'm heavier than I look."
"Affirmative." the drone replied. "302's biosynthetic body is much heavier than that of a human of similar musculature and size. If this drone were to land on Alton's shoulders, it could cause him injury. It is the most advisable course of action."
"Okay, bro, if you say so..."
After brief planning and thanks to Alton's athletic skills, the athlete was soon standing on the shoulders of the drone, which maintained its balance with remarkable efficiency.
"A little more to the right... no, not that much! Wait... almost there..."
But while Alton struggled to reach the envelope, or knock it down by shaking the branches, 302 continued to follow his companion's instructions, but it was getting distracted by something else.
Alton's musk.
Being so close to its companion's crotch, it was impossible to avoid his scent. That, combined with his powerful muscles... 302 was absolutely certain Alton never skipped leg day at the gym... kept the drone's mind in a state of pleasant distraction.
Something that had not escaped Alton's attention.
"Hey, buddy, can you hear me? You can put me down now. I've got it"
"Acknowledged."
Upon safely reaching the ground, Alton remained very close to the SERVE drone, which kept an arm on his shoulder, pulling him even closer.
"We should see what's inside... the next clue..." Alton said, lost in thought, as he gazed at 302's lips.
"Affirmative." the drone replied, and although its tone was cold and emotionless, it was clear that it was studying the athlete's face with interest.
"But... you know... I can think of other, more fun and entertaining things to do to... you know, bond, bro."
"Affirmative." 302 replied. "Query: what will happen with the competition?"
"Seriously, 302, who cares?"
"Agreed."
And then, without another word, 302 pulled Alton toward him and planted a kiss on his arousing lips. The athlete responded with passion.
As for the scavenger hunt, another team would likely win it and take home some sort of prize, but 302 and Alton didn't care. After all, the goal was to strengthen their bond.
And they certainly succeeded in doing so, and then some.
