Work Text:
It was night. The other campers were talking amongst themselves. Damien just stood by and listened, not adding to the conversation when his eyes wandered to the shore of the island in the distance where Zee was sitting. He figured no one would miss him if he walked away so he started to stroll over to where Zee was sitting and sat beside him.
"Hey, what're you doin' over here by yourself?" Damien asked.
"Well why didya walk over to be by yourself with me, heh" Zee responded.
"I thought I could be of company to you. Plus, they're talking 'bout uninteresting stuff. I'd rather be over here with you, you're chill."
"That's what they say about me at home too, I'm the party dudeee"
Damien chuckled, "Not surprised."
"Partied too hard once, it's how I lost my leg!" Zee lied.
"Didn't you say you lost it in a helicopter accident?" Damien had an eyebrow raised.
Zee's eyes widened, "Oh- you heard about that? Well uh yeah I mean it was kinda-"
Damien cut him off, "Dude, you can be honest, what's the real reason?"
Zee paused for a minute, "I was born this way."
"Why would you lie about that? Not that I'm hurt or anything, just curious." Damien asked, seeing Zee look anything other than chill for once ever since he got onto the island.
"I just thought I would seem more, like, cool if I lost it, yknow?"
"Dude, you're already cool." Damien put a hand on his shoulder.
"Really? Thanks dude. I guess cause a lot of my friends and other people make fun of me for it, heh." Zee said in a way like he didn't realize the full extent of what he just admitted.
"They do?" Damien had an empathetic look on his face.
"Well, I mean, I don't really realize they are until I'm like in the shower thinkin' about it but it's finee."
"No dude, it's not fine. They're your friends they shouldn't be makin' fun of you and standing up for you. You gotta tell em' it ain't cool." Damien tried to reason with him.
Zee looked like he started to get the extent of what he was experiencing but decided to deflect, "Well, heh, I mean, wouldn't blame them. I mean I haven't even like kissed anyone yet."
"Really? You pullin' my leg right now?" Damien seemed shocked.
"What, man. Just never kissed anyone haha."
"I mean, who WOULDN'T want to kiss you?" Damien asked with a smile before falling silent with a slight blush when he realized the implications. Thankfully for him, Zee didn't.
"I meannn, a lot of people apparently, heh" Zee rubbed the back of his neck.
There was a little bit of silence before Damien spoke up, "Hey uh weird question, but, if no one has kissed you yet… I can. If that's okay I mean-" he struggled not to stumble over his words due to how red he was with embarrassment but also eagerness.
"Really dude? You'd do that for me? Lay it on me bro, haha" Zee smiled innocently at Damien.
Damien looked down, was he really about to do this? He was blushing intensely at this point. He scooted closer to Zee before placing his hands on his shoulders and pulled him closer. Zee closed his eyes and prepared himself. Their faces were basically and inch away from each other to where Damien could feel Zee's breath before an effeminate voice interrupted the scene.
"Heyyy Damien. Zee." Bowie said, startling Damien to where he practically pushed Zee away.
"BOWIE- HEh heh- where'd you come from-?" Damien asked, giving an awkward smile, trying to play it off like Bowie didn't see what they were about to do.
"Ohh just saw you two away from the group. Thought I might come and see what y'all both were up too. Speaking of which, Zee, I left something on my bed in the cabin could you be a dear and go get it for me, you'll know when you see it" Bowie explained.
"Sure thing, man. I'll be right back" Zee smiled before he started walking.
Bowie watched him walk away with a smirk and his arms crossed until he was out of hearing range before looking back at Damien.
"Sooooo~" Bowie said, having full intention of teasing him before he was stopped by an annoyed, blushing, Damien. With a hand raised and Damien looking away he simply said,
"Shut it."
