This wasn’t exactly how Shane wanted to spend his only week off in months. Being stranded on an island with some random dude who apparently lost all of his clothes. Not only was Shane not too fond of the open sea, he really disliked the unknown and what was more unknown than now being stranded on an island? Shane had never been in this type of situation before. He didn’t know how he’d cope. Mentally more than anything. He could force himself to survive if he really needed to but this whole situation wasn’t good for someone who suffered frequent panic attacks and anxiety. Sighing, Shane shifted himself on the large and thick broken off tree trunk that he found on the beach’s shore and dragged it towards the fireplace to make himself a chair.
His knees pulled in to press against his chest. His mind wondering into places that it probably should not. Not around the image in front of him - the naked man seemingly panicking more over the fact that he had no clothes as opposed to how they were gonna get out of here - but the fact that he couldn’t contact anyone. He didn’t charge his phone the night before this all happened. “I don’t think so. Did you find your suitcase? Maybe you have some clothes left in there.” Shane was not in as rough shape as Johnny. He had on a pair of jeans which, thanks to the fact that he had to swim here, were now clinging to his frame. It was pretty uncomfortable, honestly.
Johnny moved to sit on the other end of the large tree trunk, leaning forward with his elbows on his knees as he just tried to rest for a little bit after getting the extra firewood that they’d need. Being basically forced to be naked was a weird mental strain, he had no problem in general being nude when he had the choice in the matter but this was already gnawing at the back of his brain “Nope, couldn’t find a single suitcase… hell, didn’t even need to be mine, I’d of taken a suitcase with a dress in it if I’d had to but nothing’s come in. Guess I’m gonna just have to let it all hang out until I can make a skirt out of leaves or something” he mused, looking over to Shane who at least had a pair of jeans, even though they were clinging to him and really showing off quite a lot.
He took a deep breath and reached over to put his hand on the top of Shane’s back, trying to be a soothing influence if he could “I guess we gotta look on the brightside… we’re alive, we’ve got each other so we’re not gonna need to find a ball and paint a face on it… we’ll figure out how to make it through this” he said in as soothing a tone as he could, his hand just gently rubbing up and down the man’s upper back as they sat there awkwardly “You got it in you to join me on a hunt? See if we can find something to eat or maybe see if anything came up to the shore? Or just enjoy the fire a bit longer, get some strength back? I’d go on my own but I think I did enough solo searching with all that wood, don’t want to do that forever” he mused with a tiny ltitle smile, just looking tenderly into the other man’s eyes.
