Kaitlyn stumbled and tried to catch herself on Abi’s arm. Abi wasn’t expecting it, though, so the sudden force sent both of them tumbling down the same incline Kaitlyn had just eaten it on. In the end, they landed with Abi flat on her back and Kaitlyn sprawled awkwardly on top (ha-ha) of her. With a groan, Kaitlyn pressed her palms into the ground and regarded Abi with a raised brow, lips twitching. 

“So…come here often?” Abi turned tomato red and covered her face with both of her hands. “Will you get off of me, please?” Kaitlyn snorted and lifted herself off of Abi, already frowning at her leg again. Abi sat up and pressed her lips into a thin line, brow creasing in concern at the sight of Kaitlyn’s swelling ankle. 

“That looks like it hurts.” She murmured. Kaitlyn nodded. “A little, yeah.” Abi worried her lip like she always did when she was thinking hard about something, then held her hand out to Kaitlyn. “Let’s, ah…let’s go to the nurse! Get some ice for it.” Kaitlyn took Abi’s hand and started to stand, then sat back down. Abi frowned in confusion. 

“What are you doing?”

“I can’t really walk.” Abi gasped and facepalmed. “Oh, duh. Sorry, uh…here.” Abi grabbed both of Kaitlyn’s arms, pulled her to her feet, then adjusted so that the majority of Kaitlyn’s weight was on her and not her injured foot. The proximity caused a warm flush to bloom on both of their faces, but they set off for camp anyway.

“You’re strong.” Kaitlyn teased. Abi rolled her eyes, and it wasn’t lost on Kaitlyn that she was avoiding her gaze like it was an Olympic sport. She couldn’t have that, so she leaned in a little closer.  “Whatcha doin’?” Abi pointed at the path ahead. “Watching where I’m going so we don’t fall again.” She grumbled. 

“Mm, valid. Maybe I should do that, too.”

“Maybe you should. I’m not strong enough to carry you all the way back.” Kaitlyn tilted her head, a sly grin creeping onto her face. Abi narrowed her eyes just a second too late. 

“What are you–” 

“Whoa!” Kaitlyn pretended to fall. Unfortunately, she had forgotten that her arm was around her shoulder, so…you guessed it, they lost balance and ended up back on the ground, Kaitlyn still on top, of course. Her lips twitched.

“Man, we have got to stop meeting like this.” 

“You’re the worst.”
