I woke up in a daze of sweat and confusion. The tent I awoke in seemed to capture every ray of sunshine that hit it from the other side, quickly shifting the tent into a personal sauna. I looked around, noting the pink thong I was sporting from the night before instantly reminding me where I was and why I was wearing them. I looked to my side for Chase, as my memory connected the dots, but found myself alone. I decided that he must already be up and at 'em. I quickly unzipped the doorway and jets of cool air raced in giving me quick relief to the humidity that was engulfing me.
I carefully stepped out of the tent sporting my pink thong and a semi-hard erection that died down as I stabled myself on the ground. With my bare feet firmly planted in the dirt beneath me, I stretched my arms out and reached for the sky as my bones and muscles adjusted to a new day.
"Wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey!" Chase yelled out from the fire as he tended to a pan he had over the crackling flames. He was shirtless, his trucker cap on backwards, knelt down as he continued to cook something on the fire. I made my way over to the fire pit, and fell into a chair as I yawned groggily. "Wasn't sure you'd ever get up?" he added as he handed me a cup of hot coffee in a quintessential blue metal camping mug that you might see in an LL Bean ad.
"Thanks, I said as I accepted the warm cup into my hand and inhaled a long whiff of the robust coffee. "What time is it anyway?" I asked before drinking the campfire coffee.
"10:30. Must've worn you out, I guess," he said giving himself a compliment as he continued tossing ingredients around over the fire. He finished cooking and handed me the finished product; a breakfast burrito he had made with careful precision. I lifted the steaming burrito to my mouth and started to take a bite before he interrupted, "Wait, you can't eat it without my special hot sauce!"
"What do you mean? You gonna beat off into my burrito or something," I said friskily.
"Oh you'd like that perv!" he said quickly. "No - I made another batch of hot sauce. It's killer! You gotta try it!"
He handed me a mason jar filled with green chilies and a myriad of other ingredients that he had thrown together masterfully. I opened the jar carefully with the burrito stationed on my lap and lowered the har to pour some directly onto the hot burrito. "Looks good," I stated before I brought the burrito to my mouth as he eyed my reaction carefully. I chewed slowly and then swallowed. I looked at him, paused for a second, and then took another bite as his impatience got the better of him.
"Oh my God, what do you think," he asked. I continued chewing as I pointed towards my mouth indicating I shouldn't talk with my mouth full. He rolled his eyes but brought them back to me in anticipation for my assessment. I finished chewing as he waited for a response. "Well?"
I laughed and opened my mouth to say, "Dude, this is killer! It's got a kick to it for sure but it's not overwhelming and the firepower doesn't mask the flavor either. You can really taste the roasted flavors out of it. It made the fucking burrito, dude. I think this might be your best one yet!"
"Fuck yeah!" he said excited as he held his hand up for a high-five which I quickly gave him. "I thought you'd like it," he said as he smiled at his burrito and took a bite contentedly. I watched him chew as some of the sauce fell onto his abs. He took his fingers to scoop it up, brought it to his mouth, and quickly sucked the getaway sauce back into his mouth without thought.
I sat there admiring my friend. This was perfect - just like he said. We still got to be us. We could still talk about nothing and joke around and go camping and it was still the same. Well, the same with a few minor changes. For one, I was naked in front of him except for my hot pink thong. I was also pretty sure that I had dried cum somewhere on my body. Lastly, every so often I would catch Chase grabbing a peek at me or look at me longingly and I supposed that might be my favorite part.
"Hey," he said intentionally trying to bring me back to reality! "We should get out on the boat soon! See if we can't catch us some dinner. What do you think?"
"Yeah, for sure - I'm down." I said as I looked over at the canoe and the river. "Let me throw on some clothes and grab my pole and we'll head out!" I said as I stood up from my chair intending to make my way to the 4-runner where my change of clothes were.
Almost as soon as I got up, I was tackled back down to the ground as Chase wrestled me onto the woodland floor until he had my arms pinned to the earth beneath us, his whole body on top of mine. "Not so fast," he said with an adorable playful grin smeared on his face as he hovered over me.
"What the fuck was that for?" I asked back jokingly as if to pretend I was upset by his actions.
"I don't think we need to change just to go fishing. Let's just go like this!" he suggested.
