Blacktail Deer Plateau buddy system

the boys love it but i have never really watched it.

you stupid dumb ass, he berated himself, but the mental flagellation died away almost before he had even lifted the metaphorical whip. Behati's delicious (calm down, hannibal) features lit up with a dazzling smile, and her words were lost beneath their purling tone. but the real cherry on this shamecake was the extension of one long limb, a gesture that had the boy's eyes fairly bugging out of his head. 

"uh," he grunted, the time-honored response of someone who clearly doesn't have their shit together. "i -- i, uh," and here he swallowed and shut his eyes for a beat longer than a blink. "i was thinking i'd fill caches and leave in the morning ... super early." 

he became aware of a sensation Down South, and while it hadn't made a true and visible appearance, one that would be shocking (because it was huge, duh) and horrifying for him, the boy whirled around and willed the feeling to die down and go away. "y-you wanna help me?"

help him, indeed.
