though a lingering, panicky feeling still remained in the pit max’s stomach, he was definitely grateful to have caleb beside him. even with the teasing, things seemed way less terrifying with a friend around - plus, the distraction from his train of thought was helpful and much needed. “good vibes only.” he repeated like it was his new mantra, inching closer to the man beside him. “uh… yeah, okay. i mean, if you want to. but you can’t get mad if i get you all sweaty. i’m a hot sleeper. my mom used to say it was like sleeping next to an old-timey bed warmer.”
Caleb was already unzipping his sleeping bag the rest of the way, popping out of it like a human out of The Blob's green, gooey guts. "Hey, if it keeps you safe, it's totally worth it," Caleb said, shamelessly flirting, but just a little. He could tell that Max was very on edge about whatever he heard out in the woods. Hands moved to Max's sleeping bag, unzipping it too. "Just don't go and pop a boner on me," he teased, trying to get Max's mind off of his nerves. Finally, he attached their zippers, jerking them up, until they were embraced in one large sleeping bag. Max was right, it was a lot warmer.
