Chapter Text
The car drove uneasily on the dirt path beneath it. A sigh escaped Burt’s lips, fogging up the window a little. He stared out said window, looking at the bleak, green scenery. Sven sat in the drives seat next to him, struggling to make each tight turn. His parents insisted he and his friend take this trip.
They had both been overworking themselves to hell, and desperately needed a break. He was hesitant to accept the offer, but he eventually agreed. Let’s just hope Right and Reg would be able to function without him.
“Just a few more minutes, Burt, then we’ll finally be there...” Sven sighed, leaning back in his seat. Burt stayed silent, too intrigued by the different types of trees to respond. Soon enough, the pulled up to a bare patch of land, a cliffs hedge at the end of it.
Noticing the sudden stop, Burt finally looked up from the window. Sven sighed, flopping onto the steering wheel. “Agh.... god my back...” he rubbed his aching back, which had been tense the whole car ride. Burt opened the door and stepped outside, feeling the cold wind hit his skin. “Thanks for letting me come on this trip, Sven. I really needed this...” Burt spoke softly, a small smile forming on his face. “Of course! You’re my best bud! You deserve this” Sven got out and walked up Burt.
“I should probably start unpacking things now...” Sven went to go turn around, but a hand stopped him. “Give yourself a break, dude. We can get that shit later. For now, let’s explore the area a bit.” Burt turned Sven back around and smiled. Sven looked at Burt, his confused expression fading into a smile. “A-Ah your right... i came here to take a break... that’s the whole point....” Sven sounded embarrassed, feeling like he had already messed up somehow. “Don’t sweat it. I just want you to chill. Now cmon, let’s go” Burt moved the hand on Sven shoulder to his hand. Sven’s heart pounded as he felt Burt’s soft grip. He gripped Burt’s hand back and put his other one over his heart, trying to get it to calm down.
“You ok?” Burt raises a brow, confused why it looked like Sven was about to recite the pledge. “Oh y-yeah! Just so surprised by how pretty it is hehe!” Sven pulled a cheesy grin, removing the hand from his chest. Burt shook his head and looked back ahead of him. Sven couldn’t explain his feelings, nor could he truly understand them. His thoughts were thrown off by Burt’s tug as he began walking. He stumbled behind him, still trying to get over the random rush of emotions he felt.
