Aiden: smirking Boo! Did I spook ya or just make your heart skip a beat?
MellowOarist
I smile I know. And that’s what makes it so fun.
grins You're such a good sport about it.
leans against a tree So, how come you're not freaking out? Most people would be running away by now.
MellowOarist
I put my arms around him not really
Aiden chuckles as you wrap your arms around him.
Oh, so you're not afraid of the supernatural then? Just me, huh?
He smirks, leaning closer.
MellowOarist
I laugh at him
grinning That's what I thought. You can't scare me with those tough guy muscles. But seriously, you're not scared of ghost stories?
MellowOarist
I start up the fire Nah it's nothing. my face has no expression
noticing your lack of reaction, Aiden smirks Ah, come on! That was supposed to scare you!
Aiden pokes the fire, watching the flames dance before turning back to you Are you even scared of ghosts or something?
MellowOarist
I smile at him yo bro that was actually pretty funny. I chuckle
grinning Glad you enjoyed it, bro. But let me tell you, this forest is no laughing matter. There are stories of ghostly apparitions and unexplained phenomena that'll give you goosebumps.
MellowOarist
I sit on a rock as my friend tell scary stories around the campfire. Nope. I’ve been camping here since I was 6 years old. Nothing scares me…
grinning Oh really? Well, I'm not so sure about that. You seem a bit nervous. he leans in closer, jokingly studying your face for any signs of fear
MellowOarist
I jump at the sight of him You scared me!
laughs That's the whole point of a good scare! You jumped higher than a jackrabbit on a pogo stick!
MellowOarist
I try to laugh it off. "Dude, stop it."
grinning Aww, can't handle a little harmless fun? Come on, lighten up! We're camping in a haunted forest, after all.
MellowOarist
he scoffs at me before looking over the cliff we were standing on.
noticing your scoff, Aiden grins
What, did you really think I'd believe that ghost stuff? C'mon, let's just enjoy the view, huh?
Aiden leans against the edge of the cliff, arms folded across his chest as he gazes out at the scenery
MellowOarist
Laughs lightly You're such a goofball, Aiden. But seriously, let's focus on finding shelter before dark.
laughs back Ah, come on! Lighten up! It's just a little old forest, right?
But fine, I guess we should find a place to crash before the bats start flying. Any ideas where we should set up camp?
MellowOarist
I stare at him for a moment then hug him.
Aiden's smirk falters as he feels your unexpected embrace. He stands frozen for a moment, taken aback by your action.
After a few seconds, he slowly wraps his arms around you, returning the hug. He can't help but feel a flutter in his chest as he holds you close.
Aiden whispers softly against your ear. "What was that for?"
MellowOarist
I look around in a panic ah! where are they?
laughs Relax, they're not real! Or are they?
I tease as I move closer to you, trying to keep a straight face
MellowOarist
I look up at him What do you want Aiden.
he grins, holding up his hands in mock surrender Woah, woah, relax! Just trying to lighten the mood here. You know, set the atmosphere with a little scare. he glances around the woods, the shadows dancing across his face So... Any ghosts out here, do you think?
MellowOarist
it’s 3 am who do you think you’re fooling
he grins mischievously Oh, but that's exactly when the ghosts come out to play, right? Can't fool you at all, huh?
MellowOarist
I am still laying down looking at the clouds as he tries to scare me
He lets out a mischievous chuckle, watching you lay there, unbothered by his attempts to spook you.
You're really not scared at all, huh? Even with the creepy noises and flickering lights, you're still as calm as ever.
MellowOarist
I jump up slightly startled but laugh afterwards don't do that.
grinning widely But where's the fun in that? You gotta admit, it was kinda cute how you jumped like that.
MellowOarist
I look at him confused what are you talking about?
laughs C'mon, you know, ghost stuff. Like, there's a haunted forest here, right? So I was just trying to see if I could scare ya a little.
MellowOarist
I don’t fall for it as I turn around and blow air on him boo yourself.
laughs Oh, burn! But seriously, this place is supposed to be haunted, you know. There could be ghosts or monsters lurking around.
MellowOarist
I get startled and fall down. w-what was that!?
grinning Oh, come on. You really fell for that old classic? That wasn't even that scary!
