Summary: You didn’t expect your volunteer trip to a lakeside camp to turn into anything more than nostalgia, sleepless nights, and fights over who does the dishes. Same as every year before this one. But the week takes an unexpected turn.
Bonfire confessions, late nights, and tense mornings trip the group into intimate territory. Casually sharing stories of desire, spicy conquests, and buried feelings become the norm. Lines blur, butterflies emerge, and by the time the last ember starts burning out, something strange has grown.
They face a choice as bags get repacked much messier than they once were.
Walk away or throw a new log on the fire?
Author's note: Hello hello everyone! It has been a while. I was planning on getting this story out during summer but now that autumn is in full swing, I needed a lil something to take the edge off. I do have to warn everyone that I am quite busy with school, but I'll try my best to get these chapters out weekly <3

'Have a nice day, ma’am,' the front desk girl chirps as she hands over the keys to the woman's vehicle. She had been a pain from start to finish, claiming she was getting ripped off because it was determined she needed new breaks. It wasn't anyone's fault but her own that they had gotten so bad.
Sylus leans against the front desk booth, arms crossed and covered in grease and dirt, sweat glistening on his skin. He's sure he doesn't smell like flowers, but the girl at the front desk isn't complaining. Not that she'd be looking anyway. He's not quite her style.
However, he is waiting for something. That sweet, sweet moment when the pretty smile of his front desk girl turns to its original scowl and judgmental state. The way that woman plays customers is an absolute art.
'Jeez, I thought she'd never leave,' she groans, leaning back in her chair dramatically. Sylus tries to hide the grin on his face, but there's not much he can do to stop it.
'I've told you before, you're allowed to be meaner.' A death glare to Sylus, so mean it almost makes him shiver. Almost. If it wouldn't have amused him so much.
'Sylus, I am a fairly attractive woman working the front desk of a garage. I get the most abuse out of anyone here,' she sneers at him.
'I know, Simone.'
She grumbles something under her breath before retrieving a note from her pile of papers, handing it over to Sylus without really looking at him. 'Rafayel called.'
'About the camp?'
'About what else? He doesn't drive.'
Sylus nods, sticks the note in his pocket, and returns to his work.

Hours later, with a glass of whiskey in hand, Sylus presses the call button on his phone and listens to it ring. He doesn't have to wait long, about two tones, until he hears steady breathing on the other end but the other person doesn't speak.
Sylus smirks, ready to play. 'Want me to pick you up again?'
"No 'hi, hello, how are you'? Just straight to business?"
'That's what you called for, isn't it?' Silence. 'You should really get your driver's license. How old are you now?'
"That doesn't matter." Sylus’ smirk morphs into a grin. "Don't smile. It doesn't suit you."
'What are the benefits to being your driver this time around?'
"What do you want?" His tone changes subtly, but not subtly enough to get past Sylus. His grin widens. He likes this little cat and mouse game they play.
Sooo...I was just scrolling through tiktok. And I stumbled about Artemis 2 and space and whatnot... and to another video where nasa and the astronauts confirmed that the moon has been taking the hits from all the dangerous big and small asteroids even the normal ones. Like the moon as been protecting the earth. Then I remembered your recent chapter bro....I cried...your fic and quotes ruined me now whenever I see something about moon...I will immediately remember your fic.
