The camping trip sounds like an incredible idea. A weekend of five guys in the woods, five best mates, accompanied only by their camping gear, at least a month's supply of beer, and a baggie of weed big enough to keep Max content for a week. It's not like they have anything to do till Christmas and they've just played the biggest gig of their career. Might as well celebrate a bit.
The good news is, they have enough cell phone reception to send out tweets. So they've started this hash tag #5guysinthewoods. One of their friends tweets that it sounds like a bad gay porn. Josh laughs way harder than is necessary.
They're a few beers in around the fire, second joint of the night circling, when Max decides it's completely appropriate to launch into an excruciatingly graphic recap of the sex he had with Laura last night.
"We're having lad time, right?" Max says, waving his cigarette around. "I mean, seriously. It's like I wasn't going to see her for a month." His words are all smoke. "I ain't even joking."
"Holly did the same thing," Matt adds. "Maybe they think we're going to be eaten by bears or something."
"Don't jinx it, asshole," Chris says.
"Abby hasn't touched me in ages," Josh says.
"Of course she hasn't," Dan says. "Ridiculous."
"I can't get her to suck my dick," Josh says, taking the joint. "I swear to god she is allergic to penis."
"So she just... says no when you ask?" Dan asks.
"More or less," Josh says after blowing a smoke ring. "Yet she expects me to-"
"Ew," Max says pointedly.
"Shut up," Josh says. Max makes a face at him. "Point is she's held out on me for like a month now. It's as if she doesn't want to have sex."
"Maybe not with you," Max remarks, grinning, pleased with his joke.
"Josie gave me head after Wembley," Dan says, smiling into his beer bottle when he drinks.
"I hate you all," Josh says.
"Oi, pass it," Matt says, gesturing for the joint. Josh takes a hit and blows the smoke in his face.
"Play nice lads," Chris says.
"Oh shut up; you brought your skateboard on a camping trip," Josh says.
"Well I didn't know if I was going to need it," Chris says.
"In the woods."
"Lads," Max says. "I haven't even finished my story."
"No one wants to hear about you getting laid," Josh huffs.
"Someone's butthurt," Dan says.
"I wish," Josh remarks.
"Gay," Matt chimes.
"A bit," Josh says.
"Why don't you go to a gay bar or something?" Max asks. "You just want dick, mate. Don't even try to fool yourself." Josh rolls his eyes.
"He's right," Dan says. "You, my dear, are a cock slut."
"Fuck off," Josh mumbles, even though they're both right.
"Hey, cheer up," Chris says, smacking Josh on the back and shoving a fresh joint at him. "You can have first hit."
Josh takes it and flicks at the dodgy lighter a few times, joint held tight between his lips as he shields the sparks from the breeze with his free hand. It's a bit chilly out, seeing as it is December in England and all, but the booze has him nice and warm and he has to admit the high is pretty nice too.
"I bet Josh has gang bang fantasies," Dan says, just as the lighter catches flame, and Josh accidentally burns himself.
"Ow," Josh says, shaking his hand in the air, joint still between his lips.
"He just blushed," Max says. "He so does."
"None of your business," Josh mumbles, managing to light the joint without setting himself on fire, which honestly would probably be more comfortable than the way the other four are looking at him right now. "What?"
"Don't even lie," Max says. "Your face is so fucking red. You just want like seven dicks in your face."
"My face is just red cos I'm cold," Josh scoffs.
"Well you aren't denying it," Dan says. Josh glares at him, taking a particularly long hit. He holds it. "We're waiting."
"Maybe I do alright," Josh says, voice smoke and fog from the cold. "So what."
"Oh my god," Max laughs.
"Of course you do," Dan says. He gets up and walks around the fire, plucking the spliff from Josh's mouth and putting it in his own. Josh looks up at him and wow Dan's jaw looks particularly fantastic from this angle.
"Too impatient to wait your turn, mate?" Josh remarks. Dan grins.
"I just think your mouth has more important uses than to smoke," Dan says. "Knees." He grabs Josh by the hair and Josh presses his lips together to hide a smile as he gets down, letting Dan push his face into the crotch of his jeans.
"Five guys in the woods just got a lot more interesting," Max says, cigarette hanging out of the corner of his mouth.
Josh chews on his lip, trying not to appear too eager as he undoes Dan's belt with cold fingers. He feels the eyes on him, all eight, but mostly Dan's. He fumbles with his zipper. Dan looks behind him.
"Anyone else joining me or what?" he asks.
Josh is surrounded in what feels like half a second, unable to do anything but smile, shoving his mouth down on Dan's cock. He thinks someone makes some comment to the point of "fucking hell" but he's too concentrated on getting Dan as hard as possible to distinguish who said it. Which is okay, because there's also someone's hand in his hair. Not Dan's. Josh looks up, mouth full of dick. Matt.
"So how about that gang bang fantasy of yours?" he asks. "Did it involve being in the middle of the woods with your bandmates?"
"Mm mm," Josh manages, shaking his head with Dan's dick still stuffed in his mouth.
