CAMPFIRE SONG SONG / CAMPING/ROADTRIP AU

[OCTANE.]

Asking to bring his boyfriend and getting a yes was all Octavio needed to agree to go. Octavio wasn't a fan of driving- too many tickets and he got too distracted. He couldn't let his mind be at ease or "turn it off" long enough to drive anywhere for more than thirty minutes.
So he brought Alexander.
The big, burly fellow was in the bathroom as Octavio was picking out various flavors of BANG and Monster to stock up for the night. He was so excited. Alex had taken the liberty of stocking his SUV with a portable grill and bringing steak for everyone to enjoy. Grilling was one of the few things that brought Alex out of his office, or his lab. Maybe it was something about the meat. Oh well. Arms full of energy drinks, bouncing on his ankles as the dozen were put in the paper sack, purchasing them with the swipe of a debit card.
Bag in his arms, he went outside to join Roxie, smile plastered on his face. "Eyyyy! Roxie. Thanks for the invite again. I got the fire crackers for tonight in the car!"
