? Strings {A Camp Cretaceous x Male Reader Story - Ben}

It had taken the campers a few days but they managed to make their base and it's holding up pretty well. It isn't the best looking, but it has everything they need, even a semi functional shower.

Everything has fallen into a pretty even routine the past couple of days and they hadn't even had any dino related problems.

Right now, Darius and Y/N are sitting on the couch discussing different video gaming consoles while Yasmina and Sammy try to pry open some cans of food. Brooklyn's still lazing around in her bunk, which nobody really seems to mind.

Kenji's in the shower complaining about the cold water as if it hasn't always been that way. Once he shuts up a comfortable silence falls over the group, seeing as Y/N and Darius have run out of things to say as well.

It's nice to be able to relax like they have been for the past week or so. Especially after everything that had happened. So when silence falls upon them, none of the campers really have a problem just relishing in it for a while.

None of them except Kenji of course.

An empty plastic jug comes flying out of the shower and bounces off the wooden table, everyone turns their attention to the source of the projectile as it rolls across the ground.

"¡No más agua!" Kenji calls, waving his arm from behind the shower curtain.

"A little help?"

"I got you, Kenj." Darius stands up and goes to retrieve the jug.

"You can't keep treating him like a baby, man." Y/N shakes his head with a sigh, "If you keep doing it for him he'll never learn to do it himself."

Darius just shrugs and slips onto the slide, probably his favorite part of their fort.

Everyone else proceeds with their prior silence until Darius calls from down by the stream, "Hey, uhm, guys!"

The campers rush down to meet him and see what's going on, however they're met with quite a confusing sight. All the water from the stream is gone, the only indicator that it was ever even there is the small pools of mud at the very bottom of the gap.

"Where'd the water go?" Sammy bends down to get a closer look.

"Maybe we should ask Mr. 45-minute shower." Y/N suggests as Kenji approaches, drying his hair with a towel.

"Hey, looking good is part of my brand." Kenji crosses his arms defensively, "And no way I drained a whole river."

He shoots Y/N a glare which the other boy quickly reciprocates.

Darius steps between them and addresses everyone, "We've gotta figure this out or we'll be out of water fo-"

Brooklyn suddenly shushes him and that's when everyone realizes she's crossed the stream. They all go silent, waiting for her to say something.

"I hear that hum again!" Brooklyn announces, causing her peers to groan.

"The river must've been drowning it out before. If I can follow that sound, I can find that--"

"Frozen patch of flowers." Everyone else finishes in unison.

"Oh. I've mentioned it, huh?" Brooklyn laughs awkwardly.

"The frozen flowers you saw once but never found again?" Kenji asks sarcastically.

"Yea. Once or twice." Y/N sighs in annoyance.

"Uh, I'm sorry for wanting to get to the bottom of all this weirdness." Brooklyn defends, turning back towards the jungle.

"I came here to--"
