chapter 9: I am not overreacting!

Y/n p.o.v.


With journal in hands near the fire you worked on the rest of the research. D/n sleeping peacefully next to you as you were doing your work.  Changing the information about ghosts first since you've had been one for a short period of time. Using a small piece of charcoal to jot the notes down. Doing your very best to keep it nice and tidy like the rest in the book. It was challenging using these materials instead of the pencils back home. You've missed it. The warm comfortable bed. Sleeping in a tent with a bunch of beefalo fur was fine but it was still way to cold and hard in comparison to your soft mattress. The comfortable big couch. Snacking whatever you've wanted to. The soda's, tea, coffee, hot chocolate any kind of warm beverage in these cold day's. Since you've been stuck in this place water was the only thing you could drink. With a lot of effort first of course, you had to desinfect the water by boiling it in one of the crockpots and letting it cooldown. Putting it in one of the two bottles you've had with you. You felt great for taking them with you. Binge watching series at home. Going outside without life threatening conditions or beasts chasing you down. Latley you've been feeling homesick and you wondered what it was like back on home with your friends and family. The stars weren't the same as they were back at home. So this was another planet or dimension you've figured.  The last one made more sense in your eyes.
The three beefalo fur blankets did a very good job at keeping you warm. After arguing with Wilson about it being to much you gave up not wanting to fight about it since it was the last thing you would want in a situation like this. He had been acting weird latley. Well even weirder then usual he even seemed to act suspicious. Like he was planning for something but not having the guts to do something. It was adorable seeing the man trying to help you and accept your boundaries. He truly was acting like a gentleman again, being overprotective as well. After all it has been just a few day's since you died so you couldn't blame him for it.


Wilson's P.O.V.


On my way back I searched for carrots and other useful items. In the morning I went out to look for more wood and something to eat, since we were running low on supplies. Checking the traps as well with 5 rabbits in them from the 7 we had so it was a good catch. It was already getting darker outside and I had to make my way back fast before it turned dark.
Once I saw the light of our fire in the distance I took a sprint. Hoping to reach our camp before night. I only had one torch with me that was about to burn out. In my hurry I tripped a few times slowing me down in the process. I was close, I was almost there, I just needed to be a little closer. My light gave up on me and the darkness consumed me. "No, no no no, bloody hell." I muttered panicking cause I knew what it ment. The stress and adrenaline made me run faster to the base. Feeling watched and followed made me even more freaked out. It was dead silent before I heard the sound of 'it' the nightmonster was about to get me. I was so close to the light of the fire I took a jump in the air to get in our base. I felt a few claws scratching my leg before I landed safe in the well lit circle. I did it! I was safe!
"Will!? Are you okay!?" Y/n rushed over to me. Dropping the blankets and what they were holding in their hands. "I'm fine Y/n. Let's say I have been getting an unpleasant visit at the end of my way back to our base." Getting up slow and easy I felt the wound burn now that I calmed down. "I heard the noise what was that? You are not fine you are having trouble to stand on both legs." They walked over and helped me walk over the the campfire. Making me sit down on one of the logs near the fire. D/n looked up to me and I backed up a bit. Since I have been here I became afraid of dogs thanks to the hound waves every so often. Y/n found it weird but when I explained why they respected it and tried to keep their dog away from me. I took a chance and with a shaking hand I petted their head. "There there." It seemed like D/n knew I was scares so she did nothing. A sigh of relive left my mouth and I pulled my hand back. Waiting for Y/n to return with the salve and bandages. I wanted to tell them how I felt about them but every time I tried I backed up. It would be awful if I confessed my feelings but they wouldn't feel the same. Y/n was such an unique and caring person even if I knew them for this short time I couldn't help myself. 'will." They knew I wasn't myself latley so I had to make my move soon. 'will?' Even I didn't know what I was feeling at the moment. Never in my life have I been having this mix of emotions about someone. "Will!?" I jumped up and looked up in their bright e/c eyes lit up by the fire. "I thought I lost you there for a moment. Glad to see you back on the earth." They gave me their sweet smile and my cheeks felt hot again. Darn it how could I resist that smile? A sharp pain in my ankle waked me from my dreamy feeling. "Be careful with my leg Y/n!" I cried out with tears in my eyes. "Yeah yeah I'll be careful with you you big baby. You are over reacting." They chuckled. "I am not overreacting! You are being reckle- AaaAaaAAAaauuww!-"
