“Daniel?” Cecil asked, a bit curious about who he was. “Maybe we can stop by the camp on our way back!”
“Maybe… um, I haven’t heard very good things about Daniel, honestly,” Carlos admitted. “But yeah, we can stop by. They have a science and a Space camp there, so I think the kids could benefit from a visit!”
“Maybe we should stay clear of him then. That sounds interesting! I’m sure the science campers would love to hear from you!” Cecil says, excited.
“Heh, I’m sure they would,” Carlos said with a smile. “We can meet the other counselors too. They seem nice enough.
“But first, a new cot. I know you just got here, babe, but are you alright with us leaving the camp now to go shopping? I think I’ll have to get some actual food too, since I’m not going to be by myself – ramen isn’t going to cut it with you, I’m assuming.”
“It’s fine by me, I got here a bit before you did.” Cecil said with a smile, looking at Carlos. “Besides we don’t want the stores to close before we have the chance to get the cot, and that doesn’t sound like a healthy meal my sweet Carlos.” Cecil already started making a checklist in his head of some things that they would be able to stock the makeshift camp with. Perhaps if they could borrow the other vamps kitchen it would be easier.
Carlos smiled at him. “Alright then, hun. We taking my car, or yours? I think mine does pretty well in the forest path.” Carlos shrugged sheepishly. “I’ve honestly been reverting to my college habits regarding self-care. I usually just eat quick-preparation foods that don’t have much chance of being ruined with my… cooking ability.”
“Maybe your car. Mine didn’t overly enjoy getting here.” Cecil said, holding the other’s hand. “While we are in town we can get you an actual meal and I’ll see what stuff we can get so I can make us some food as well.”
Carlos nodded. “Great. Sounds good. Lemme find my keys.” He leaned in and smooched Cecil on the cheek before turning to look through his personal items bag.
