What a way to come back with an extremely long update lol? I hope you liked this update full of mush with our boys because the next update isn't going to be that wholesome 😭 See you next time and I'm so glad to be back 💙

When they pulled back, Stefan lifted Kai’s face gently, thumb brushing his cheek. “It was the best weekend.” Kai smiled, heart full. “It was.” Stefan kissed him softly—grateful, lingering—before stepping back, both of them changed in a way that felt quiet and permanent. #ValGen3

But after 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴—after the weekend, the closeness, the way everything had shifted—letting go felt harder than it ever had before. Stefan understood immediately. He held Kai just as tight. “Me too.” Relief washed through Kai at that. #ValGen3

“Woah—” Stefan laughed, startled. “Everything okay?” Kai nodded against his shoulder. “I just… I’m going to miss you.” It felt stupid even as he said it. They were neighbors. They saw each other constantly. #ValGen3

“Wait. Stef?” Stefan turned, brows lifting in question. Kai didn’t explain. He just crossed the distance between them in two steps and wrapped his arms around Stefan tightly enough that it knocked the breath from his lungs. #ValGen3

By late afternoon, Evergreen Harbor welcomed them back with familiar streets and softened skies. Stefan walked Kai to his door, hands stuffed into his pockets, rocking slightly on his heels.“See you tomorrow?” Kai nodded, but as Stef turned to leave, something tugged sharply in his chest. #ValGen3

Their laughter blended into another kiss, bodies sinking back into the mattress, the world outside the cabin dissolving completely as they chose each other again—quietly, happily, without rush. #ValGen3

Then Kai’s expression shifted, playful now. He turned suddenly, straddling Stefan with a grin. “Since we’re already late for breakfast,” he said, eyebrow quirking, voice teasing, “we should—” “Yes,” Stefan laughed immediately. “Please.” #ValGen3

Stefan’s smile widened against his shoulder. He lifted Kai’s chin gently, forcing him to look at him. “I love you.” Kai didn’t hesitate. “I love you too.” Their kiss was slow and unhurried, the kind that didn’t need to prove anything. Just promise. Just certainty. #ValGen3

Kai closed his eyes, letting it bloom into images he didn’t usually let himself linger on—shared mornings, shared space, a life where Stefan was simply 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦. For once, he didn’t push the thought away. He breathed it in. “Me too,” he whispered. #ValGen3

He shifted closer, slipping behind Kai and wrapping his arms around him, chin resting at the crook of his neck. The embrace was secure, familiar already. “I can’t wait to do this with you forever,” Stefan murmured. The word 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 settled deep. #ValGen3

“How are you feeling?” Stefan asked softly, voice still rough with sleep. Kai looked down at him, smiling without thinking. “Amazing.” Stefan smiled too, that soft, satisfied curve that made Kai’s chest ache. #ValGen3

Stefan was curled against him, head resting on Kai’s shoulder like it belonged there, his breathing slow and even, warm against Kai’s skin. Everything felt different in that subtle way that only came after something important had happened. #ValGen3

The next morning they woke up late. Breakfast was long gone, and neither of them cared. Kai sat propped against the headboard, the quiet stretching comfortably around them. #ValGen3

Eventually, Stefan paused, forehead resting against Kai’s. “Are you okay?” Kai smiled, eyes soft. “Yes. Because it’s you.” Stefan kissed him again. #ValGen3

When the cookies were gone, Stefan turned toward Kai. He crawled closer, slow and familiar. Kai smiled shyly, nodding—𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘰𝘬𝘢𝘺. Their kiss was gentle, then deeper, the kind that carried years of knowing each other inside it. #ValGen3

Kai sat on the blanket, cheeks flushed. “I just wanted it to be special.” Stefan didn’t say anything at first. He just sat beside him, took a cookie, and ate in silence with him. The quiet stretched—not uncomfortable, just heavy with everything they weren’t saying. #ValGen3

By the time Stefan returned to their cabin, the room had changed. Candles glowed low and warm. A blanket covered the floor, dotted with sugar cookies. The beds had been pushed together into one wide space. Stefan froze. “Kai…” His voice caught. #ValGen3

It wasn’t about the cookies themselves—it was about showing Stefan, in the quietest way he knew how, how deeply he appreciated him. #ValGen3

Stefan was always the one planning the romantic gestures and Kai wanted to return that love in his own way. So he rolled up his sleeves and started baking simple sugar cookies, measuring carefully, wiping flour from the counter, making sure everything was just right. #ValGen3

Kai slipped quietly into the kitchen cabin while the boys were still eating dinner. Even though he knew tonight would change things for them, he wanted to pause here—to do something gentle, something thoughtful. #ValGen3

“We keep getting interrupted,” Stefan said, breathless, forehead resting against Kai’s. Kai laughed. “Not tonight though.” Stefan kissed him once more, quick and bright, before they rejoined the others around the fire. #ValGen3

Kai opened his eyes. “Hi,” he murmured. Stefan smiled. “Hi.” That was enough. Stefan cupped Kai’s cheek, leaned down, kissed him slowly, carefully. When Stefan shifted, hovering over him, laughter bubbled up between them as the dinner bell rang again, loud and insistent. #ValGen3

Kai lay back, eyes closed, letting the sun warm his skin. Stefan stayed propped on one elbow beside him, looking at him like he always did when he thought Kai wasn’t aware—soft, full, certain. #ValGen3

They left their kayaks drifting gently near the shore and settled onto the ground, far enough away that voices blurred into the background. Just water, wind, and the sound of breathing. #ValGen3

He spotted Stefan not far off. Kai lifted a hand, gesturing toward the quieter edge of the lake. Stefan raised an eyebrow, intrigued—then followed. #ValGen3

The afternoon belonged to the lake. The boys ran toward it without restraint, shoes abandoned, laughter echoing as kayaks splashed into the water. Kai paddled out slowly, letting the rhythm settle him, the world stretching wide and calm around him. #ValGen3

Pull. Breathe. Release. The arrow hit closer than he expected. A couple tries later, one landed dead center. He laughed out loud, surprised and proud, chest warm with the realization that he 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 do things like this. #ValGen3

After breakfast, the camp scattered into activities. Kai found himself standing in front of a target, bow in hand, heart pounding harder than he expected. Archery wasn’t something he’d ever tried before, but the moment he focused, really focused, everything else faded. #ValGen3

Kai and Stefan didn’t stick together the entire time. They split up easily, slipping into different conversations, joking with other scouts, being 𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘭. It felt good. #ValGen3

The next morning, breakfast was chaos in the best way. Plates clattered, boys talked over each other, Greg’s voice carried across the room as he tried to keep some kind of order while Aiden laughed it off. #ValGen3

Kai found himself laughing easily, warmth spreading through him—not just from the fire, but from the quiet weight of Stefan’s presence beside him. Still, his thoughts drifted. Back to the cabin. Back to the two beds. Back to the feeling that something important was unfolding. #ValGen3

Kai and Stefan sat close together. They grilled their dinner, listened to Greg spin dramatic stories that had everyone groaning and laughing at the same time. Someone nearly dropped their food into the fire. Someone else swore they heard something moving in the trees. #ValGen3

They walked out hand in hand, the camp opening up around them as evening settled in. The fire was already crackling, sparks lifting into the darkening sky. Other scouts were gathered around, laughing, poking sticks into the flames, teasing each other over half-burnt food. #ValGen3

Kai melted into it without thinking. And then— The dinner bell rang outside, sharp and sudden, breaking the quiet like a snap of reality. Stefan pulled back with a startled laugh, glancing toward the door. “Okay—okay. Food first. I’m starving.” #ValGen3

Stefan’s shoulders dropped a little, relief clear on his face. He smiled, shy and boyish all at once. “I’m nervous too.” For a moment, neither spoke. Then Stefan leaned in and kissed him—deep, steady, reassuring. Not rushed. Not demanding. Just 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦. #ValGen3

He thought about the talks he’d had with his uncles. About feeling ready. About trust. He bit his lip, then lifted his gaze, meeting Stefan’s eyes—the same eyes he’d known since they were toddlers, the ones that had always looked at him like he mattered. “I’m excited,” he whispered. #ValGen3

Scouts was fun. Scouts was stories and fire and laughter. But this weekend—𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴—had been sitting in the back of his mind for weeks now. A chance to just be with Stefan without parents or homework or the world pressing in. A chance to be close in a way that felt new and important. #ValGen3

Stefan stepped closer without rushing him, gently turning him until they were face to face. He lifted a hand and cupped Kai’s cheek, thumb warm against his skin. “Are you nervous?” Kai swallowed. #ValGen3

His grin spread slow and delighted, eyes lighting up like he’d just won something. “Yes,” he whispered, almost reverent. “We’re alone.” When he turned fully toward Kai, the grin softened. He saw it then—the way Kai’s shoulders were slightly tense, the way his eyes darted between the beds. #ValGen3

He scratched behind his head instinctively, heat creeping up his neck, his cheeks flushing before he could stop it. Scouts had been exciting—busy, loud, full of movement—but this… this was different. This was stillness. Space. Just him and Stefan. Stefan noticed instantly. #ValGen3

The cabin smelled like pine and old wood, the kind of place that had held a hundred quiet confessions over the years. Kai noticed it immediately—𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 the posters on the walls, before the duffel bags, before the late-afternoon light slanting in through the window. Two beds. That was it. #ValGen3
