X-Ray spat in his hole. He was finally finished the second, shortly after Zero had stalked off.
He grimaced as he glanced around at everyone else, coated in sweat. He's been feeling weird around a certain someone. Someone he admired a lot. He watched him from afar, eyes glinting beneath his rotten glasses. He walked towards his hole as he finished. And he called,

"Armpit! C'mon man. I'm heading back."

Armpit climbed out of his hole, sighing. He scratched his head and trailed after X-Ray.
"Right here, dude. What is it? You want me to join you? To afraid to go back by yourself?"

"Shut up, man! I just need someone to hang out with in the WRECK room." He huffed, carrying his shovel with him. He yawned.
"Alright Alright. Hey, Mom got a soccer ball for us. We can use that outside." He suggested, fixing his hat as they walked back toward the camp.

"For sure."

Heading into the WRECK room, X-Ray grabbed the ball. He had to bend down, considering all of the dirt and shit that was thrown around.

Armpit came in and stopped, staring. He was almost thankful he wasn't a white guy, or his cheeks would've been easily shown as bright red. His eyes absorbed the view of X-Ray's ass, and he bit his lip. He slowly looked away, and went back outside. He wouldn't be able to get that thought out of his head.

X-Ray joined him outside, his work clothes heavy with sweat. He eyed him a little then turned away, going away from the cabins and rooms.

He got in position, eyes darting. Armpit went over and stood a good bit away, watching. He felt a weird pit at the bottom of his stomach whenever X-Ray caught his eye. X-Ray kicked the ball, sending it flying over to Armpit. He kicked it back, jogging around. This continued for a while, until the two noticed something strange.

Zero and Stanley came down from the direction of the holes, talking. Stanley seemed to be talking to him about a plan to help him read, if he dug most of his hole in return. This didn't sit well with Armpit or X-Ray. When the two other boys approached, X-Ray and Armpit neared them. "The white boy does nothing while the black boy does all of the work. I don't think that's right, do you Armpit?" X-Ray snapped. "No, it isn't right X-Ray. Do you think it's right Caveman?" Armpit retorted and turned his gaze to Stanley. "No. It's not right. And it isn't like that-" he started, but was interrupted. "Bullshit."

At this, Caveman and Zero took off to go speak in their cots before a fight broke out. X-Ray and Armpit were beyond annoyed, so they released their anger on one another for fun.
Armpit and X-Ray wrestled, rolling around in the dirt. X-Ray managed to pin Armpit to the ground. They growled at each other, smirking. They loved rough housing just like the rest of their tent members, and found it a great stress reliever.

Things grew silent for a while, both panting and staring at each other. Armpit reached up, grazing his hand over X-Ray's cheek. He took off his glasses, slowly. He instantly adored X-Ray's beautiful eyes, getting lost in them, and thanking god that X-Ray didn't pull away.
He rubbed his thumb over his cheek, becoming soft and mushy. X-Ray didn't overly enjoy this though, he felt the opposite and his stomach flipped uncomfortably. He huffed, snatching his glasses and put them back on his face.

He got up, pulling Armpit up with him. He chuckled, rubbing his nose. He didn't want to talk about what had just happened. "You got any shower tokens left?" He asked, glancing around. "I do, yeah. Wanna shower split?"

X-Ray glanced away. "Yeah.. sure." He walked ahead and went into their cabin to get his towel.

-

He stepped into the cold water. After finding the gold tube, he was granted much longer shower privileges. He felt Armpit's presence close behind him. He got his body wet,  and lathered the soap over him. Armpit did the same with the other bar. X-Ray had dropped the soap, scoffing. He quickly bent down when he thought the coast was clear, grasping at it.

Armpit turned, biting his lip. He smacked his ass out of instinct. X-Ray yelped, standing upright immediately and turning to face him. He snarled. "Hey! Not cool.. oh." His eyes trailed down, and noticed his friends arousal.

He chuckled lowly, and pressed slowly into Armpit. He purred, licking his lips. "I don't think it's fair having to see the white boy have fun and do nothing while us black boys do everything." He said, changing the subject of what just had happened. He laid his head against his.

Armpit grinned. "It ain't fair at all. But we always have more fun then them." He tilted his head, their lips inches apart. "We're still all equal." He grunted, almost kindly. X-Ray closed the distance, feeling their wet bodies collide along with their lips mesh. He snuck his arms up and around his neck, while Armpit snuck his arms around his friends waist.
They kissed for quite a while, both engaged immensely with one another.

When they both drew back, they agreed to keep things low profile. They started dating a few weeks later.

Nobody said anything to them when it became public.
