Smoke twists up to disperse into the dark sky littered with glimmering stars like pinpricks through a blanket letting light shine through. The fire sings and dances wildly as it consumes the logs and branches. Its neverending hunger devours the offerings to live a little longer before the embers die off and nothing but ash remains.
Katsuki leans back, staring up at the constellations and listening to the crackling fire and crinkles of plastic as Eijirou rummages through his backpack, cursing under his breath. He pulls quite a few things out before finally stopping. At the sudden lack of noise, Katsuki tilts his head down, tucked into his chest, to see Eijirou holding bags of marshmallows, chocolate, and crackers in one hand and a metal rod pointing up triumphantly with the other. Several other items flung on the ground around him. He grins at Katsuki’s incredulous expression as he sets down his spoils.
He easily pops open up the pink marshmallow bag, inflated further by the lower air pressure. The sweet scent of strawberries is released into the air, clashing a bit with the smell of pine and smoke. Eijirou grabs two to stab onto the stick and wields it over the fire, letting the heat turn the pink fluff brown with flecks of black. They both breathe in the caramelized sugar and strawberries.
After rotating the marshmallows around, Eijirou grips the stick tight between his knees and calves, adjusting it to hold it close enough to let the flames lick at the sugary treat without fully encapsulating it. He tears open the crackers and arranges them on his lap, two laid out on each thigh. The chocolate is next, exposing the halfway melted bar. No snap fills the air. Instead, Eijirou pulls off pieces of the sticky mess to cover the crackers with. He looks around like an idiot for something to clean his dirty hands with. Footsteps right beside him ceases his search as he looks up at Katsuki, who pries the stick away from Eijirou’s legs.
He sparks the sweat off his palms away from Eijirou, then takes the crackers and marshmallows and assembles them into s’mores as Eijirou watches. Eijirou receives one, and Katsuki sits down again, next to Eijirou this time.
Both take a bite. The crackers crunch beneath their teeth, giving way to the sweet insides. Gooey marshmallows and chocolate burst in their mouth, the strawberry flavoring complementing the rich chocolate. Eijirou hums his appreciation, while Katsuki stuffs the rest into his mouth.
While still chewing, Katsuki grabs a towel to wipe chocolate and stuck on bits of marshmallow off his hands before piercing some more marshmallows onto the stick. Eijirou finishes his and helps out, lining up crackers and chocolate again. They finish all the bags off as the moon glides across the night sky. Exhausted and stuffed, they crawl into their tent. Katsuki places one slightly off kiss to Eijirou’s lips, tasting sweetness once again before drifting off to even sweeter dreams.
