Kevin

The smell of bacon tickled Kevin’s nose. He stretched slowly, rubbing his face against cool-smelling sheets. That was weird. That was definitely not his usual laundry soap.

Oh, yeah.

He cracked his eyes, shielding his eyes against the light spilling in between the wood slats of the blinds. The wall of windows was too bright for ordinary blinds to hold back the morning sun on a day as gorgeous as this one had to be.

Then, his chest jolted. He jerked his head around so fast he nearly strained his neck, glancing over at the other single bed.

Matty was asleep on his front, the covers mostly pulled over him, but one arm was stretched out above the pillow.

Kevin swallowed hard, dragging his gaze off the way the covers rippled around his body before he could start to imagine what was under which ripples in the blankets.

Instead, he hauled the covers off himself and grabbed a fresh change of clothes, then let himself into the en suite bathroom to get ready for the morning. At least with all the time they were spending in the water, he didn’t feel like he had to shower, and neither had he brought his razor. He’d deal with being a little bristly today.

Matty still wasn’t up by the time he left the en suite, so he headed straight downstairs to the kitchen.

“Morning,” Chris greeted. He looked like the only one up so far. “Sleep well?”

“Yeah, like a rock. You?”

“Same,” Chris told him as he approached the fridge. “I’m doing bacon and potatoes, eggs, sausages, uh…”

“Toast? I can do toast,” Kevin laughed. “Are they almost up?”

“Oh, yeah. Good one. Yeah, I’ll dump cold water on them if they’re not up within a couple more minutes. I heard a lot of angry grunting from CJ and Fisher’s room, though.”

As he loaded the toaster with bread, Kevin chuckled. “So, you been out here before?”

“Oh, no. I’ve only been living here a couple years. Last summer I spent pretty much the whole thing with my family.”

“Where you from?” Kevin hopped onto the counter and sat there, swinging his feet now and then. Chris had an American accent, but he couldn’t tell what kind.

“Nevada.”

“No shit. That’s a long way away.”

Chris chuckled. “Yeah, I know. Got traded up here, and… I dunno, I kinda like it. All the snow’s a nice change.”

“From the desert? I think we’d all trade you,” Kevin laughed.

Chris chuckled. “Yeah. You’re from Fredericton like Cam, right?”

“You were all good buddies with him, weren’t you?” Kevin asked, kicking the drawers lightly with heels before he hooked his toes in the drawer handle. “Everyone won’t stop asking me about him.”

“Sorry,” Chris laughed. “Yeah, he’s a real good guy. Not all guys leave that kind of impression on you.”

Briefly, Kevin wondered: had Cam dated any of these guys? Had he dated Matty? That would be weird. But he pushed aside the thought and half-smiled. “Yeah, he is. He warned me about Coach Walker.”

“He’ll be a hard-ass, but only ‘cause he wants to see you get better.
