Jae's eyelids peeled back, readjusting to the light as he adjusted to the situation. Wait, where am I? Examine further he realized he was laying in Primrose's lap and she was running her fingers through his hair. A smile appeared on his lips and he enjoyed the situation for a few more moments before shifting onto his back, looking up at her from the comfort of her crossed legs. "So... Am I as adorable when I'm sleeping as people tell me?" He smirked playfully. After the nap, his faux confidence and flirtatious mindset was returning which would probably soon come to be disappointing to the others.

Justice couldn't help but melt a little when Nick sorta chuckled in response. She found it especially worthwhile making conversation with the quiet ones, but this seemed even better. Like winning a trophy.
She listened silently as he spoke, though she found herself looking anywhere but his eyes like if she did she might scare him off. His hair was still partially ramp, curling over his eyes. It made her smile. He looked so normal. Everyone did. But she knew they were all still mourning— suffering in they're own way. She knew that was true when the mere mention of his parents darkened his expression, matching the stormy weather outside. She placed a hand lightly on his knee. "Me too." She didn't say "sorry." or "it'll be okay." For some reason she felt like that wasn't good enough. Maybe just knowing she was dealing with the same problems would comfort him more then condolences. Even though he or even she didn't know it, Nick was helping her.

Prim blushed as he spoke up, retracting her fingers from his hair her eyes widened. "I-i..I'm sorry, I should've asked." she frowned, pushing away his flirty question immediately. Not wanting to give her true answer to save her from further embarrassment. She turned her head, hiding her flushed cheeks from view.

In a fluid motion Jae swung himself up and against the wall once more. His attitude was a drastic change from only an hour before but the lingering sadness still hung In the back if his mind. Jae often got distant and cold when he was upset but now that he was feeling better it was night and day. "Nah, I liked it," He said casually while brushing stray grains of sand off of his sweatshirt, "Thanks for letting me use you as a pillow." His smirk, always hiding in the shadows, appeared against as he patted his shoulder. "Feel free to return the favor. That's what guys for for." He winked, resting his head back against the solid wall. It wasn't nearly as comfortable as Primrose but he'd still be able to continue his much needed nap.

Nick
Nick did a half smile. When she touched his knee he sort of felt odd. But he shook the response off. "Yeah, well everyone here is lucky, we were the lucky ones..." though in his mind he thought 'If this is even luck....we are stranded on an island with no map, no idea what's in the jungle...maybe it's a punishment.' He pushed his hair back again, it stayed slicked back for a moment before in naturally fell off to the right side.
He quickly started a new topic, "after I got into high school, I played some football, and then in college too. But, it really wasnt my scene. Didnt like the whole 'jock' status, to be honest I didnt like all the attention, and the drama with girls was ridiculously annoying with there this person kissed this person and so on, so i dropped that and I started to take advanced math, and architecture/design." He felt himself rambling on and quickly finished. He had never talked this much, and he felt like it was kind of annoying he was talking so much. He kind of bit his lip in anxiety, he was always the quiet one, even in school, he had a small group of friends, and then the stupid follower chicks who just like him because he was attractive. This was the first real conversation hes had with a woman that wasnt drooling over him.

Prim let out a breath of relief, glad to know that he didn't think she was a total creep. "No need to thank me, I was just being kind." she nodded, furrowing her brows as she realized how flirty he really was. Attempting to play the same game he was, she gathered up her confidence "I might have to take you up on that offer." she nearly sqeaked out, shooting him an awkward wink before looking away out of pure embarrassment.

While Jae didn't open his eyes he still cracked a smile at Prim's attempt to be coy with him. It was obvious she didn't casually flirt with just anyone because she honestly wasn't very good at it. Her effort was adorable though.
Throughout the small shack was hushed conversations as the others branched out individually, including Nick which was a shock. He didn't seem like the kind of person to share person details like once being on the football team at his former highschool but it seemed that sick girl managed to draw him out of his shell somewhat. Good to know even the broody one could kick back and relax. Well, try to relax. He sounded like he was sinking over there.
Jae scolded himself silently for eavesdropping on the conversation, sidling up beside Primrose in an attempt to get some more sleep.

Justice followed along as Nick spoke, offering only a smile and a nod of encourage meant where it was needed until he finished. He looked flustered, nibbling on his lip as he watched her. She guessed it wasn't everyday that he opened up like this. "So you went from a jock to a nerd," She teased, "That's pretty brave. I mean, most people would love that kind of attention." Justice mused, tilting her head slightly. Her eyes flickered down to the gap between them, knees almost brushing. She had the sudden urge to remove those few inches, to lean into him and fall asleep. This felt so familiar. So comfortable. Like they'd been doing this all they're lives. Sitting, talking. She wished it could continue like this. Like they weren't going to have to fight for survival. It's not like any of them would ever meet again once— if —they got off this island.
With a resigned sigh, she scooted back a little, making a show of leaning against the wall like she was tired. It wasn't so hard to fake it— she was tired. The real struggle was moving away from him when she wanted the opposite. She couldn't get attached to anyone. Not here. Yet that didn't stop her from reaching out and grabbing his hand: strangely soft and huge against her own. She dropped it after a heartbeat. "I'm gonna get some rest. Goodnight, Nick." A small smile and then she curled up on her side. Nick was the kind of person she could end up liking and that's not what she needed right now. She let her eyes fall shut.

Nick
He chuckled "yeah, well I felt like I wasnt using my full potential. I guess I was just the black sheep of the team." He says. Though he could tell she was exhausted. When she grabbed his hand he felt a slight anxiety but quickly got over it. "Ye-yeah, of course. I'm sure you tired...well all of us should try to get some sleep." He caught himself rambling again. "Okay...goodnight" he says once more. He stood up and walked towards the door of the shack staring out as the rain fell, it looked like the storm was letting up a little.

Prim yawned, looking around at everyone talking. She was bored to say the least. Deciding to take Jae up on his offer, she moved to lay her head in his lap, looking up at him. "Do you want to play twenty questions?" she asked nicely, figuring it would be nice to get to know him.

A weight settled on his lap, provoking a surprised glance from Jae only for him to soften when he realized it was only Primrose. A smile flickered across his features, accompanied by a gentle hand as he patted her head once. He didn't have to consider her question. Despite how little his earlier nap had energized him, sleep wouldn't come and it'd be useless to just sit here in silence. "Sure", said Jae, his voice hushed, "but you have to go first." A smirk and then he continued to pat her head, relishing in the way her hair slipped effortlessly through his fingers. It was surprisingly soft after being subjected to the salty water and air. Almost like it had become water itself.
Jae surprised himself by how comfortable he was. After his borderline meltdown with Primrose there seemed to be an odd connection between them, though his suffering had little to do with their situation. While she had possibly lost parents, siblings, or grandparents he hadn't lost anything other then the comforts of central plumbing and wifi. His parents were still alive but, strangely, gone. This tragedy, this accident had only solidified in his mind something he knew was true all along though he had no concrete evident for it— His parents didn't love him. Though they weren't nearly the same, losing someone and never having them made him and Primrose form some sort of friendship he couldn't explain. At least, that's how he felt.

With remorse, Justice watched the flustered boy resign to his shell once more. Watching him as he stood by the door, she hoped somewhere in the back of her mind that he hadn't locked up his heart and thrown away the key. He seemed to have been opening up to her, something she was sure was uncommon, and she had brushed him off, claiming she was tired. Maybe she was over-complicating the situation. They had only just met. Would her opinion really matter? Anyhow, she couldn't let herself get attached to anyone. She barely knew this boy but she was taking extra precautions. It'd only bring both of them lasting harm. But... It didn't help that he was cute. She rolled away so her eyes wouldn't continue to betray her, ogling at Nick, and tucked herself into a ball. Anyone could see he was attractive, so she didn't blame herself too much for it. You couldn't start liking someone within only a few hours, she resolved.

[ After Jae and Prim ask/answer a few questions maybe they fall asleep and we can time skip to morning/brainstorm what should happen? ;0;

Prim felt herself relax as she felt his fingers run effortlessly through her hair, enjoying the nice feeling. She closed her eyes as she spoke, "Favorite color?" she asked, knowing it was a quite basic question to ask. She wanted to start off simple, rather than delving right into deeper questions.
