Steve slammed the trunk of the car shut with more enthusiasm than the situation called for. The mountains loomed ahead, a jagged silhouette against the late afternoon sky, pines whispering promises of fresh air and zero cell service. Bret eyed the overloaded backpacks skeptically, stuffed with tents, sleeping bags, and enough snacks to survive a minor apocalypse.
“This is your big idea to treat me?” Bret asked, hoisting his pack. “Dragging me into the wilderness where bears can judge my life choices?”
Steve grinned, slinging his own bag over one shoulder. He looked unfairly good in hiking boots and a flannel shirt, sleeves rolled up to show forearms that flexed just right. “You’ve been saving my ass for weeks. Time to repay with nature’s therapy. Fresh air. No distractions. Just us and the stars.”
Bret snorted. “Stars? We’ll be lucky if we don’t get eaten by mosquitoes the size of helicopters.”
They hiked in from the trailhead, the path winding upward through dense forest. Sun dappled the ground in shifting patterns, birds called overhead, and the air smelled like earth and pine resin. Steve led the way, pointing out random facts he’d probably googled that morning. “See that? That’s a ponderosa pine. Smells like vanilla if you sniff the bark.”
Bret leaned in close to a trunk, inhaled, then pulled back with a grimace. “Smells like tree. You’re full of it.”
Steve laughed, the sound echoing off the rocks. “You’re just not sniffing right. Come on, city boy. Embrace the wild.”
The campsite they chose sat by a small stream, flat ground ringed by boulders and evergreens. They pitched the tent with minimal swearing. Steve hammered stakes like he was conquering territory, while Bret unrolled the sleeping bags inside, the waterproof covers crinkling under his hands. By the time they finished, sweat beaded on their skin, but the satisfaction was real.
“Dinner?” Steve asked, rummaging for the portable stove.
Bret nodded. “As long as it’s not bear bait.”
They cooked simple. Hot dogs over the flame, s’mores that dripped chocolate everywhere. Steve burned his marshmallow black, then insisted it was gourmet. Bret smeared chocolate on Steve’s cheek during a playful shove, and they ended up laughing until their sides hurt.
As dusk fell, clouds gathered. Thick. Gray. Ominous.
“Think it’ll rain?” Bret asked, glancing up.
Steve shrugged. “Nah. Forecast said clear.”
The first drops hit ten minutes later. Fat and cold. They scrambled to cover gear, but the sky opened fully within seconds. Rain hammered down in sheets, turning the ground to mud, soaking through clothes and boots. They dove into the tent, zipping it shut just as thunder rumbled in the distance.
Bret peeled off his wet jacket, shivering. “Great forecast. We’re drowned rats.”
Steve wiped water from his face, grinning despite the mess. “Adventure points. We’ll laugh about this later.”
They tried to light a fire outside once the rain eased to a drizzle. Wet wood smoked but refused to ignite. Steve poked at it with a stick, cursing under his breath. “Come on, you bastard. Burn.”
Bret crouched beside him, holding a lighter to kindling that fizzled pathetically. “We’re not cut out for this. Our survival skills are basically ordering takeout during a power outage.”
Steve sat back on his heels, mud streaking his jeans. “Yeah. Screw it. Snacks in the tent?”
They retreated inside, peeling open bags of chips and jerky. The tent smelled like damp nylon and salt. Rain pattered steadily on the roof, a constant drum. They sat cross-legged, shoulders brushing in the tight space, munching in companionable quiet.
“This was supposed to be relaxing,” Steve said around a mouthful of trail mix.
Bret chuckled. “It is. In a masochistic way. But seriously, let’s bail tomorrow. There’s a bed and breakfast in town. Hot showers. Actual beds.”
Steve nodded. “Deal. We tried. Nature won.”
