It is a cool morning, birds are chirping, the sun is shining through the tent. It's a good morning. I get up to start getting breakfast ready when two set's of arms tighten around me, I groaned as I open my eyes more, and looked at who owns the two sets. They belonged to James and Wyatt. I shook them lightly until they both groaned. "Can you both please let me go?"
James released his one arm and Wyatt groaned even louder. "What time is it?" James asked his voice groggy.
Wyatt let go of my waist and reached for his watch. "11:34." He said also in a groggy voice.
Finally free, I got up and threw my hair in a messy ponytail, noticing I wasn't wearing the sweats I wore last night and noticed that James was wearing my sweatshirt. "Um, James why am I in your sweatshirt and why are you wearing mine. Also, I'm very certain I went to bed alone last night, how did you both end up in my tent? You know the one made for a single person."
Wyatt got up more as James turned over in the blankets. "I don't remember- how are you not complaining about a headache, considering you know you had two beers and you normally are smashed after one full one since you are such a lightweight." He said now putting all his weight on his arm.
Once in awhile we'll sneak a couple of beers when we go camping, I start to get tipsy about maybe halfway through a can, so I tend to only drink a half of a can, and then James or Wyatt finishes it. James who has the more tolerance had three and Wyatt also had two, who also has more tolerance than me but not as much as James. "I'm not entirely sure, but I'm going to start breakfast, so Wyatt you wanna go get water from the lake and then help sleeping beauty over here start cleaning up from last night."
Wyatt nodded in agreement as James went back to curling up in the blanket more as a protest. Which earned an eye-roll from Wyatt and I just shook my head as I yanked the blankets off of him. James is only wearing his boxers and the sweatshirt I stole from Lee last night. "Ok, seriously nothing happened last night- right? I mean Sapphire your knees are like bruised and you both are only wearing each other's sweatshirts." Wyatt said in a confused tone. I mean it's not the first time we have yanked a blanket off of James and he had no pants on besides his boxers, but that's normally in the summer, James doesn't do that especially since its colder.
James looked at me with mixed emotions between confusion and fear, and I gave him the same expression. We then looked at Wyatt and shrugged. "I mean if something did happen then all three of us wouldn't be in the same tent, and Saph would be more undressed instead of wearing just my hoodie so I'm going to go with no nothing happened- I think."
"Ok, so if nothing did happen that doesn't explain how both of us switched clothes and why we aren't wearing pants." I said as I pinched the bridge of my nose and then unzipped the door to see my sweatpants hanging in the tree and his right out the door.
"Seriously, what happened last night?" I then step out, put James on, and then went to grab mine and threw them at James.
Wyatt followed me out and then James came shortly after he put the pants on. "I have no idea, but I'm hungry, so when is breakfast going to be done?"
I rolled my eyes and slightly pushed James. "Relax birthday boy I'm starting it now."
----------------------
*What happened last night*
Sapphire is disappointed at the fact that Landon told her that he didn't care if she dated other people, well she knew that he doesn't know that they are mates but she still felt disappointed deep down. Once she hits the halfway mark James and Wyatt expected her to give one of them the rest of the beer but she didn't. "So, you're going to be the future Luna, how do you feel about that?" James asked curiously as he watched her chug the rest of the beer.- It's currently one in the morning, they spent the first-hour finishing setting up and getting sticks for the fire, and the last couple hours they have been sitting by the fire and they each told the story they each thought up as each other's birthday present. Sapphire's was about a Military captain (Wyatt) that must co-exist with the Queen of all sirens (James) in the hope to stop a group of pirates that have been taking the Captain's supplies and the Queen's people and later make a peace treaty among the two species. Wyatt's about a mage (James) and a peasant (Sapphire) traveling threw time and solve the greatest mysteries. Then there was James's story at the time, nothing seemed to click together like pieces to a puzzle since they were drinking but James made his story more for sapphire then Wyatt. He originally didn't want to tell it in fear he would give away Landon's true feelings or any of the secrets that he has been holding from Sapphire, but he told himself that he would tell it since Sapphire was starting to get tipsy, but he won't tell it again until it is needed, he plans on changing the story little by little but not too much as time goes on and Sapphire's and Landon's story changes.-
Sapphire set the now empty beer can down starting to feel the buzz from the alcohol, as she headed to grab a second one. "W-Who does that peanut think he is, I, I-I don't c-c-care if he knows if we are mates or not, how bare he tells me that he d-doesn't care who I da-ate."
Wyatt leaned closer to her trying to take the new open beer from her hand, but she just pulls it away. "I- I know I'll call him righ mow, and tell him that he can't tell me what to do."
Sapphire took out her phone and started to call Landon. "Hello?"
Sapphire repositions herself and then clears her throat "You motherfu-"
Before she could finish the sentence Wyatt took both her phone and her beer and said, "Ok, no more for you."
Sapphire patted Wyatt's head. "You are a pretty princess, but James is a prettier princess -all of a sudden she whips her head towards James forgetting about her phone- James I get my good night song right? Pwease I'll love you more than anyone."
James pinched the bridge of his nose as he sighed. "Yes, Sapphire I will sing you your good night song, that I only sing when you are sad or drunk."
All of a sudden Sapphire jumps from the chair and goes towards, James and sits on his lap. "My pretty pretty pretty princess I love you so much." she said drawing out the "o" in love and so while dramatically stroking his face.
Wyatt snickered as James glared at him. "Sapphire did you know that Wyatt wants you to be his "pretty pretty pretty princess." so much that all he ever talks about his making you into his pretty princess."
This time Wyatt glares at James as James gives him the 'try me' face. Sapphire beams towards Wyatt. "But, I'm already your pretty pretty pretty princess boo."
This time she gets up and goes to sit on Wyatt's lap to get her beer back. Sapphire smiled in accomplishment when she finally got it back and then suddenly frowned. "That- that stupid- why do I have to be stuck with the cocky-"
Before she could finish the sentence Wyatt cut her off as James got up and covered her mouth. "Sorry, Landon, she is sort of drunk." and then Wyatt hung up on Landon.
Sapphire took a swig of the open can and suddenly got up from Wyatt's lap. "Imma go get more of those things for the bright thing right there." she said slurring that whole sentence and pointing at the fire.
The boys eyed her closely as she goes to get a flashlight and then takes another swig. "How about, you stay here. You are way too drunk to go out on your own, why don't you let Wyatt go with you?"
She turned and glared at them as if she was saying 'Try me I dare you.' so they put their hands up in surrender, but their only condition was that she has to stay in the area, which only caused her to roll her eyes.
Sapphire ended pretty far from the camp just a mile from rouge territory. she is to the point were she is swaying as she is walking with the sticks, all of a sudden she trips over a root and hits her head on the bark. She feels her eye's to grow heavy as she begins to blackout. Her eyes half-closed making everything blurred, her breath starting to slow when she barely makes out White fur, lit by moonlight, all of a sudden she feels wetness on her forehead, and then she passed out hearing whispers.
A couple of minutes later she wakes up, her mind a little more clear, she brings her hand to her forehead but there was nothing there. She tried to stand up but then felt her knees burn, so she looked down at her knees, confirming that they were cut and bruised from when she fell, so she picked up the sticks and starts to head back the way she came. When she got back to the camp her knees buckled which caused her to fall forward into the river.
James and Wyatt rush to her and pull her out. "Are you ok?"
Wyatt picks her up bridal style as James runs to his and Wyatt's tent. When he came back out he was rolled up in two blankets with his sweats in his hand. He went towards Sapphire's tent and threw the clothes in as he grabbed her blanket. Once he made it back to the fire he turned to Wyatt who still had Sapphire in his arms. "Take her to her tent and have her change into my clothes, and bring me her wet ones I'll dry them."
Wyatt nodded as he took her to her tent and sat her down inside it. Before she could protest saying that she is fine how she is Wyatt zipped the door shut and went over to James. "None of us expected to get soaked so we all just wore sweats here with no change of clothes, besides if Sapphire caught a cold because this I wouldn't just Lee nagging at me, I would also have Landon."
Before Wyatt could question why Landon is apart of the conversation, a not so close to sobering Sapphire came out of her tent in James's clothes. "I still don't understand why I can't wear my clothes." Sapphire said as she tried to grab her sweatshirt, but James grabbed it before she could.
"Because your brother will kill me if he found out I let you sleep in soaked clothes." she tried to look at him but failed miserably and ended up looking at the tree behind him.
All of a sudden she passed out cold. James caught her before she fell and hit something else, and Wyatt scooped her up bridal style while Saphire also started to toss and turn in her sleep. "I'm going to go lay her down and also stay in the tent till I know that she will sleep through the night, we don't need a repeat of last year."
James chuckled at the memory of the not as drunk sapphire running around like a little kid on a sugar high, to only face plant into a tree, and then when they put her to bed she slept walked and face planted into the same tree. "Yea ok, I'll stay and watch the fire and make sure the clothes don't catch fire." He said as he threw the pants on a branch hovering a bit onto the fire but far enough that it won't catch fire.
An hour later the fire was about finished, it was just burning ashes at this point and a drowsy James got up and went into what he thought was his and Wyatt's tent only it was Sapphire's with a passed out Sapphire and a half-asleep Wyatt. James had brought the sweatshirt with him but halfway towards the tent and got too cold and threw it on and they all slept until morning.
A/N: Just to clarify, how they both ended up pantsless, Sapphire got too hot so she kicked the pants off, and James completely forgot that the pants were in the tree when he went to bed. I've been very busy so I'll be updating a lot less often as I would have hoped, so sorry in advance for the slow updates.
