Angus groaned as he stepped out of the car. The drive had only been two hours long, however with all of the camping gear crammed in Evelyn's small car (they couldn't use the boot and the backseat was tiny), he had to move his chair forwards and lost some knee space. Evelyn groaned too, stumbling out of the driver's seat, not as gracefully as Angus. She steadied herself with a laugh and looked over at Gus. He was standing at attention, clearly he had flinched when she had stumbled.

Ever since the incident with the teenagers at the park, Angus was always on the watch. He always held Evelyn, he frowned when people came near her and was constantly looking out for her. Angus in general was tenser, and it worried Evelyn. She knew how difficult it was and how uncomfortable Angus got in the city, so she decided camping was the best thing to do.

It would be without people, alike to Angus' home and enough to relax him and make him feel as though he is in his element. It didn't take much convincing of her parents as Evelyn hurried to finish her part of the work from the expedition. As of then, Evelyn had completed everything and officially had no job as her dad had hired her for her studies. Now that was all over, Evelyn no longer had a job.

Immediately as the sun hit Angus' skin and as the small gust of wind pressed his skin, Angus felt calmer. There was no one around them, only a few park rangers who once every day do a scout to make sure everything is okay. The smell of soil and forest filled his senses, making his body loosen as he closed his eyes momentarily, savoring the first time he truly didn't feel confined since arriving to the city. He already felt alive and although Evelyn insisted on sleeping inside some bag they call a tent, he was excited to be alone with just her.

"I'm pretty damn excited about this," Evelyn grinned for the hundredth time. She walked to the back doors of the car and got out her hiking backpack, flopping it onto the graveled ground. Angus frowned slightly, walking behind her and grabbed his pack. It was heavier than hers and he didn't want her to strain her back. She smiled up at him in appreciation, poking his hip. He grunted, but a small smile played on his lips.

"Watch it," he playfully threatened, his hands darting out. He grabbed her waist from behind, pulling her body off the ground. She tucked up her legs as her hands grabbed his that are locked around her stomach. She shrieked, a booming laugh following after.

Angus couldn't help himself, he pulled her in closer and planted his lips on her neck. He was in love, fully and utterly in love and he didn't care how unsteriotypical it was of him. He would do anything for her and would always vow to make her laugh.

"Gus," she laughed, her hands squeezing his. Reluctantly, he put her on the ground. She spun on the ground, her hiking shoes crunching the gravel as she braced herself on her tip toes, her hands clutching Angus' upper arms. She closed her eyes, puckering her lips waiting for a kiss. With her eyes still closed, she raised an eyebrow impatiently as she heard a small breathless laugh from Angus. Not even a moment later, his lips pressed against her before detaching. She opened her eyes a smiled, satisfied for the time being.

"We need to head off now." Evelyn said, playfully squeezing his bicep before turning back to the car. "Otherwise we'll get to the site at dark which will suck big time."

Together, they packed the remaining of the stuff, tightened their boots, put their snacks and water on the outside of their bags and strapped up.

It was a five hour hike to the camp following a small trail. Not many people used this hiking track or the camp as Evelyn specifically wanted Angus away from everyone for a break and to escape from reality for the time being. With the issue at the park that made him on edge, the media still had not let up. Since his interview, many more people wanted Angus and wanted his story. It was something Angus felt that because he shared it once, he didn't need to again.

He didn't like most people, and he didn't like groups of people looking at him. He was certainly tenser and more on edge lately. To top it off, more information had been leaked. Evelyn immediately contacted the authorities to investigate, however she was informed the breech of privacy would take a while to solve. So, she decided they would go camping to escape.

With the map in his hand, Angus led the way. The narrow trail was dirt, small flowers marking their way. The path was thin, only wide enough for single file but Evelyn wasn't complaining. When Angus hiked up the bag, she got a perfect view of his butt.

The sun was beating down on them but neither of them minded. Mixed with the sunscreen on their skin, both of their bodies was coated with a small layer of sweat as they laughed or stayed in a comfortable silence, enjoying the beauty of nature.

<><><><><><><><><><><>

"Angus," Evelyn panted. She was puffing, hands on her hips. She wiped the sweat from her brow and glanced behind her at the incline they had just walked up. "5 minute break?" They had been walking for three hours and it was one of the couple breaks they had. Angus nodded, his chest rising and falling from the exercise. The hill they had just climbed opened out into a small landing, green grass taking over their vision. It was only a small space surrounded by thin green trees.

Evelyn's pack dropped to the ground with a thud, and she followed afterwards.

"It's so good to finally sit down," She sighed in relief, watching as Angus plonked on the ground next to her under the tree to protect them from the blazing hit sun.

Together, they ate some nuts and sipped some water, taking this time to cool down. Even though it was hot, Angus still pulled his Evy into him. He lay on the ground, slightly upright from resting on his pack with Evelyn lying too, herself resting on his torso. They mindlessly talked, their fingers playing with one another's as they caught their breath.

The sound of the birds chirping in the background, the crickets chirping hidden somewhere amongst the trees, and the calling frogs made Angus feel at peace. He tightened his grip on Evelyn and placed a kiss on her head, before suggesting they head off and make it to their camp before it got too late. Reluctantly, Evelyn stood up and brushed off her shorts, holding her hands out for Angus to grab. She pulled as hard as she could, assisting him off the ground with a laugh.

Two hours later, they finally reached their campsite. They were relieved to find they were the only ones there, the blank, open area held toilets on the far side and some logs to have a fire, however that was it. The river was a small walk away where they were allowed to swim in and wash themselves, however the water was due to be freezing. Instead, the two laughed as Evelyn tried to teach Angus how to put up a tent.

"Why are we using this again?" Angus grumbled, not knowing what to do with the poles. He felt Evelyn's soft hands grab his and take the pole from him, sliding it through the set area.

"We're not all jungle men like you Gus, I'm not too keen sleeping on the grass without shelter." She poked his hip as he laughed at her.

"You got to man up, Evy," His arms circled around her waist from behind, his face nuzzling into the crook of her neck as she laughed.

"Why do that, when your man enough for the both of us?" Evelyn questioned. She knew she was only feeding his ego, however the tightening of his grip and the kiss on her neck knew it was the right thing to do and to get her some brownie points.

"You're awfully nice to me today," he mumbled, his lips placing another kiss on her neck from behind her. Evelyn closed her eyes and sighed, reveling in the sweet touches.

"I can't be nice to the man I love?" She sked, turning her head to the side to look at him. He spun her in her spot, looking down on her.

"You most certainly can be," he replied before kissing her quickly on the lips. "Let's finish this bag thing." He nodded his head towards the tent. Evelyn laughed, watching as Angus stepped around her to attempt the second half of the tent. Evelyn couldn't help herself, her hand shot out and tapped his bum making Angus jump round in surprise. His eyes were wide and his lips slightly parted as he watched his girl laugh before racing to the other half of the tent, finishing the job he surly couldn't finish.

<><><><><><><><><><>

The night had dropped to be cold as Evelyn and Angus sat huddled together with a sleeping bag unzipped to fold over them. The small fire they had gave off a small amount of heat, however it wasn't overly useful. They had made it to cook dinner and now to boil water as they sipped their hot milo ( A/N- Australians will understand the beauty of a milo milk :) ).

They sat in a comfortable silence, the cracking of the fire hissing and breaking the silence of the air. Crickets chirped in the background and every now and then a bird chirped or a frog croaked. Evelyn felt Angus' fingers lightly trailing up and down her exposed hip where her shirt had ridden up slightly as her head rested against his chest.

"I'm done," Angus said gently, tossing the plastic cup on the ground. He licked his lips, the chocolaty flavoring lingering in his mouth. Evelyn downed the last of hers before copying his actions of discarding the cup. She turned and looked up at him, a lazy smile on her face.

"Same,"

"I can see that," Angus replied. Evelyn was almost shocked by his sassy reply, but the grin on his face showed the challenging mood. She poked his hip, mumbling he was an asshole.

"Well then, you have to put up with an asshole," Angus smiled, poking her hip this time.

"Hey, stop using my moves against me man!" Evelyn shrieked. She pulled away slightly as she laughed, immediately feeling some of the cold air fill the gap between her and Angus' bodies. The hand on her hip pulled her back in to keep the heat trapped as Evelyn rested back on his strong frame.

"Maybe you should get some new moves," Angus hopefully suggested.

"Nope," Evelyn grinned up at him.

"No?" Angus challenged. Evelyn shook her head, her lips pressed together as she smiled. She poked his hip again to prove her point and Angus growled, tightening his grip on her waist.

"Evy," he was awarded with another poke to his hip. "You," he got poked again.

"I can't believe that-" he was cut off again as she rapid fired more pokes to his hips. He couldn't help but laugh and squirm away, a ticklish sensation making his toes curl flooded his body. He watched as Evelyn mouth parted, her eyes widening as she discovered his weakness.

"No way," Evelyn laughed. "You're ticklish!" she lunged forwards, her hands ticking the front part of his hips. She watched in fascination as Angus yelped, her hands being taken by his large ones to prevent the action.

"Wild man Angus is ticklish." Evelyn laughed, wondering how she had never discovered this before.

"I don't know what that means," Angus said, removing his hands as he picked up Evelyn and moved her to sit on his lap, her legs straddling his waist. "But it needs to stop."

"But Gus, that's so cute." She cooed, taking the piss out of the situation. Her hand rose to cup his cheek, pacing a small kiss on his nose. She laughed as his eyes and nose scrunched up from her small attack, unsuspecting as her free hand sunk to tickle him once again.

His eyes shot open, a booming laugh as he fell backwards on the mat. His large body thrashed about as uncontrollable laugher left him. Evelyn stayed sitting on top of him, running her hands up and down his sides and around his hips, laughing too. Her heart swelled watching him, his hair tied behind his head in a low bun with his brown eyes scrunched close from her view.

"Evelyn," he warned, trying to sound threating but even he could hear it was useless. His voice was slightly husky yet a higher pitch, his warning being cut off from another tickle attack from evelyn.

He hated it, he honestly hated it but he couldn't stop laughing. His stomach was killing, his cheeks sore from smiling as his eyes scrunched shut. "Evelyn Miller," he tried to threaten again but the squeak made him appear timid and not very intimidation.

"Hey!" Evelyn shrieked as she felt herself being rolled over. The next thing she knew, she was trapped underneath Angus, his body pressed tightly down against hers. His face was in line with hers, their eyes looking directly to each other. Both of their chests were rising and falling quickly and Angus held her down, catching his breath. His skin was still on fire from where Evelyn's hands had roamed and he prayed to the lady in the sky he would never have to endure whatever the fuck that was, ever again.

Evelyn felt Angus hand trailing down her side, stopping and putting a light pressure above where he was just tickled. "Don't you dare," She challenged him. It came out as a slight whisper, her eyes watching his playful ones glint from the flame.

"And if I do?"

Evelyn was lost for words, but didn't even have enough time to think as she felt her body jerk from his gentle attack.

"Angus no," she laughed, grabbing his arms trying to push them away. She knew it was useless as he was so strong, but she still tried anyways. She felt the strong muscle tensing below her hands, and she knew she'd be swooning from the strength if it was being used against her.

"Gus!" She shrieked. Quickly, she cupped his face and pulled his lips down onto hers in a hungry, but lingering kiss. Angus stopped, his lips responding immediately.

He found that no matter how many times they kissed, he still loved it. He felt sated, a feeling of being complete and contempt. His hands rested next to Evelyn's head as he supported himself above her, his lips moving against hers. He felt her lips curl into a small smile as she pulled away, both of them breathless.

"You play dirty." Angus huskily spoke, his eyes looking at her lips.

"As long as I win," Evelyn counteracted, watching his eyes dart back up to hers.

"Against me, you'll always win baby." Evelyn smiled, the corny line (she wasn't sure where it came from) making her stomach fly.

"You're so fucking perfect," She mumbled, her head raising to press her lips against his. Her tongue swiped his bottom lip as they deepened the kiss, Angus' large body pressed tight against hers. Her hips lifted slightly off the ground, rubbing against Angus. He groaned, but it was hardly heard. Angus moved back, hips grinding against hers.

He felt the warmth buzzing through his body, the need starting to circulate in his veins. He pulled away from air, his head lowering into the crook of her neck. He felt her hand latch gently onto his hair, pulling slightly. He pressed a small kiss onto her skin, encouraging her to explore him too.

His hands went down, finding the hem of her shirt. As he went to pull it up, he was stopped by Evy.

"Gus, no." She said, pushing him back. Confused and flushed, he looked down on her. What was wrong, why did she stop him?

"Not here, inside the tent." She mumbled. Angus felt even more confused.

"Why? Nobody else is here?"

Evelyn flushed slightly, wondering how to explain to Angus, a man who didn't know of privacy and indoors since they met, that having sex outside, even if no one is around, is daunting and nerve racking.

"Please?" She said, hoping it was enough. He groaned, pushing himself up and grabbing Evelyn's hand pulling her with him. She giggled as she slammed into his body, his strength forgotten as he rushed for the tent.

"Wait!" Evelyn said. She pulled her hand from his, quickly putting out the fire. When she was sure the flame was out, the only light was from the moon. She grabbed Angus hand and unzipped the tent, laughing as Angus flopped on the floor and pulled her in afterwards.

Angus wasted no time in attaching their lips, his back pressed on the roll out, single, mattress. Evelyn's hands fumbled with the zip on the tent, closing it to stop any bugs from entering. As soon as she was done with the zip, her hands tugged at the hem of his shirt. Angus quickly took it off, watching as Evelyn followed leaving them both in just their pants.

Angus eyes locked on Evelyn breasts, his hands raising to touch them as Evelyn fiddled with the hem of Angus' pants. She pulled it down just enough for his semi erect length to not be confined anymore, grabbing it softly and pumping.

Angus exhaled sharply from her coldish skin grabbing him, but it quickly heated up as she pumped him. He pulled her down, his lips attacking hers as they fought for the dominance of the kiss. A particularly harsher pump made Angus groan in pleasure, his head falling back and his eyes closed.

Evelyn took this as the opportunity to dominate the kiss, then trailed her lips along his jaw and neck. Angus fumbled in his bag, bringing out a condom. It was a silent agreement he would carry them along the hike.

"Now," Evelyn mumbled against his hot skin. Angus nodded, unwrapping the protection and sliding it down his hard length. Evelyn felt hot and full of need. She had rubbed herself against his thigh, and all she wanted was for him to fill her.

Discarding her underwear (not very gracefully as she was sitting on top of Angus) she waited for Angus to position himself before gently sliding into her. She sunk her weight down, a breathless moan from the feeling. She felt Angus hands grabbed her butt, gently helping her rise and fall to a steady rhythm.

A small layer of sweat arose on her forehead as she used her arms resting on his chest to move her hips in the movement, guided by Angus. Both of them closed their eyes, their bodies buzzing from the pleasure hey felt.

"Angus, Gus, I'm," Evelyn breathlessly spoke. As Angus rose to meet her, Evelyn tumbled over the edge, her body feeling light as she couldn't hold herself up anymore from pleasure. Angus finished just after her and the couple lay cuddled together, their chest rising and falling as they caught their breaths.
