"Camping together with your bandmates and friends…" I say as I am currently thinking about the offer Touko just gave me, as she asked me if I wanted to come with her on a camping trip that has been arranged for all the bands.

"Yes, and you and I can sleep in the same tent, an extra person is no problem~!"

"Nice, I would love to come with you guys on it. Maybe we can do some activities by ourselves?"

"Or, we can go on a camping trip on our own!"

"Eh? Can we even do that, considering that this is an invitation from the Tsurumaki family?"

"Ah, don't worry about it, Stephy!" she tells me as she sits next to me. "Besides, it's more of a luxury camping than any traditional, and while having that sounds great…"

Touko begins cuddling with me as she says that, before looking at me again.

"I want to go on a camping trip that you might like, and have it just be you and me..!"

"Hmm, maybe we can have our own tent then, so we don't need to sleep in those big tents. Thus we get to have some alone time either way!"

"Ooh, great idea! Then we can still have big barbecues with the others!"

"Heck yeah, and I might see if I find mushrooms or something else."

"Imagine if we encounter ghosts! Uuuhhoooohh!"

"Nah, come on now, I don't think the ghosts would want anything to do with us."

"But if anything tries to hurt you, I will protect you!" Touko says as she clings even more onto me, which I return with embracing her.

"And I will protect you as well from any harm. We will be safe with each other in our own tent, trust me."

"I always trust you~" Touko replies as we both laugh, before deciding we should head downtown and find some stuff for the camping trip.

We pick out some food items, possible extra flashlights, and also decide to share the cost of a powerbank, as it might get hard to charge our phones out in the wild otherwise.

"This powerbank should apparently have a super duper long battery life, what do ya think, should we go for it?"

"Hmm, yeah, I think that should do it!" I reply as I nod as well.

After that was done, all items we would provide for the camping trip are in order. As it's tomorrow, we decide it's best to just chill for the rest of the evening.

Touko decides to stick around and sleep at my home overnight, which I don't mind her doing at all. I always appreciate her company in my bed, even if we do at times get somewhat spicy of us in here…

Just lucky whenever we do it unprepared, Touko knows at least to an extent that she is having her safe day…

...I end up having a very wet dream about Touko this night while cuddling with her and soon falling asleep…

The next day, Touko wakes up at 5 am like usual, but she waits for me to wake up. After we both are awake, we prepare the last stuff and eat breakfast before we head off.

Touko, as usual, rides with me on my bike, and we soon see everyone waiting outside CiRCLE, the usual best place to meet up.

We all greet each other, and get on the bus, with me sitting next to my beloved as she listens to me talking about stuff that I like, news about it and such.

A few hours later, we finally arrived at the spot, and I made sure to take in the nature's air with a deep breath as soon as we got off the bus.

"This will be great." I say as I feel Touko clinging to me as she giggles and nods.

"We will unfortunately only set up the main tents for the seven bands. If you two are going to sleep in your own tent, you will have to set it up yourselves." One of the suits tells me and Touko as I can just chuckle in reply.

"No worries, ma'am, me and Touko will do great with it!" I tell the suited woman before I walk with Touko to a nice spot around where we will be camping. "How about here?"

"Not too many stones, quite flat of it as well, it's the perfect spot, Stephy!" Touko cheerfully replies as she helps me remove the tent from my bigger backpack, before we both remove our backpacks and begin setting up the tent.

The suits are also on with setting up the big tents for the other band girls, but they appear to have some problems setting up the tents. Poor them, they have probably not been out camping before…

Me and Touko finish up with the tent, Touko giving me a thumbs up before blowing a kiss as well to me.

"Let's help the suits with the big tents, they could really need some extra pair of hands it seems." I tell Touko as she nods in agreement. So thus we both head up to the suits and begin helping them.

After it's all done, the suits tell us they won't be present right here, but will still scout around the wood area so no creeps or something tries doing any funny business with us that are camping.

And not long after, they are off, leaving 36 people alone to do whatever we want. While most of the band girls decide to rest or chat, some are setting up a badminton net, which was just a small recommendation from me, but they apparently found it to be a fun idea to play badminton.

Me and Touko look around the place, before we spot that something has been built in the trees, it looks like a platform from some old zipline.

"Hmm, what do you say about climbing up on that platform and taking a selfie? Will do numbers for sure, and even extra because everyone loves seeing you in my selfies~"

"Oh wait, really?"

"Surprisingly, yes! I am happy people aren't being negative about me posting so much about you, because you are my fluffy and sweet boyfriend~!"

I just blush from what she said, before I look up at the platform.

"Well, up we go..!"

We begin climbing up the ladder, Touko being faster than me to climb it up.

"Bummer I didn't have a skirt right now, because otherwise I would've given you a pretty good sight~"

"T-Touko, no need to lewd talk now, we can do all that talk in our tent..!"

"Hehe, sorry, sorry!"

"...But you aren't wrong with it having been a nice show…"

Touko just giggles more as we soon reach the top and have a pretty good lookout of the camping spot.

"I'm actually somewhat afraid of heights, but with you by my side, that fear is barely existent for me." I tell Touko as we take the selfie, showing how high up we are, and soon after sit down by the edge to look at what the others are doing.

"Then maybe I should be with you at an aquarium sometime, so you won't be scared of sea creatures too much either!"

"A-ah, my thalassophobia I have no idea if I will ever get off my chest, but… an aquarium date with you doesn't sound too bad at all."

"Then let's go to the local one someday~!" Touko says to me as she smiles at me again, making me smile as well before nodding.

Some of the band girls had also now noticed that we were up here after they noted at first that we were absent.

"Hey you two, having fun up there?" Lisa asks us, as loud and clear as possible so we would hear her.

"Yeah, we are just chatting a little-"

"And probably kissing as well!" Chiyu suddenly says as she laughs. "Touko and Stephan, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G-"

"Hey now, stop with that! You can do nursery rhymes for yourself- Omph!"

Before I finish up my sentence, Touko actually goes to kiss me on the lips, with it turning into a more passionate one soon after. Her lips are always so soft…

"Heh, well, let's leave them be, they are having a great time together after all, so we better not disturb them!" Saaya says as she had also catched what was going on.

Everyone agrees as they go back to doing their activities, while me and Touko were still making out.

After a few more minutes, we feel satisfied and head down from the platform. We help with collecting some wood that should make a good enough fire, which we will use for later, as for grilling, we have a smaller grill with us for that.

Me and Touko tell the others that we will be heading on a walk around the woods, just to have some more alone time with each other before we begin grilling and such.

"Your idea to go with the others but still being able to spend time together was great~!" Touko tells me as lays her head against my shoulder while we are walking. "I love spending time with you after all…"

"And so do I." I reply as I hold her close to me by her waist. "The others aren't complaining either, so we can be together as much as we want. But being with the others when we are grilling or sitting by the campfire shouldn't hurt."

"Nope, it doesn't hurt at all! It's always fun being with friends as well after all!"

"I agree with that, but… the times between you and I are the best." I say as I hug Touko from behind, digging myself a little in her beautiful blonde hair.

"Stephy~" she says as she giggles from it, most likely tickling when I do this. "You always feel so soft when touching me~"

"And you feel soft as well, I love it…" I reply as I go for biting her neck lightly, with her giggling even more, though a small moan slips out from her as well.

As we stay on spot for a bit more, we decide it's time to head back and check if it's something the others need help with.

"I probably say it one too many times, but I am ever so grateful to have met you, my beloved."

"Nah, you aren't saying it too much, I am grateful to have met you as well~!" Touko tells me as she walks close to me once again. "We love each other, so showing our appreciation to each other never hurts."

"Very true, very true indeed." I reply as I hold Touko even closer to me. "Let's continue heading back then, the others might be waiting for sure."

As we arrive, we can see that the others have begun preparing the grill, Masuki carrying the coal that will be used for it.

"Hohoho, here I come with the coal because you all have been naughty of you." Masuki jokes as she grins before putting down the coal. "Especially you two, running off into the woods and all."

"Hey now Masuki, take it easy. We were just walking-"

"Geez Stephan, it was just a joke, haha!" Masuki replies as she laughs. "Come on now, we are just about to begin with the BBQ."

I head to mine and Touko's tent to fetch the meat we bought for this occasion, and coming back with it, everyone is surprised we went for such high quality meat for something like this.

"Even if it's just one night, we better do everything with a bang!" I tell everyone as I put the meat on the table that Masuki had also set up with some help from Rei.

"Yep, we both planned to make this a great camping trip for us all!" Touko tells the others as well, everyone thanking us for bringing something like this to here.

The rest of the coming evening, we begin grilling and eating hella good, chatting amongst each other about various things.

Touko even takes and feeds me some of my food. Even if she doesn't need to, I am not complaining at all.

After the food, we take and begin roasting some marshmallows over the campfire we prepared earlier on the day.

"It's been awhile since I last did something like this. Reminds me also of how in Outer Wilds you can roast marshmallows, which is a pretty amazing video game."

"I sometimes forget that you are someone that likes video games a lot, that doesn't really show on you honestly." Rui comments, as I can just chuckle.

"I am quite reserved about my interests after all, but if I end up talking about them, and no one minds, then I just do it."

"You are like a mix of us all here. While some of us are more carefree or serious, you are a little bit of everything!" Lisa says as I just shrug my shoulders.

"Just being myself after all, can't have a straight face the whole time." I say as the others just giggle.

"That's what I will forever love so much about you~!" Touko chips in, causing me to blush again.

As it's getting pretty late after we all chatted more, the decision to head to sleep is a decision we all agree on.

The bands share two big tents that have at least half of the group in each, excluding me and Touko as we are sleeping in our own tent after all.

As the others get into the big ones, we two head into our own tent, which is still pretty spacious and we have enough space for us and a few other things.

"A portable radiator that charges under the sun was a pretty good purchase as well, we get to have some heat inside our small tent as it's somewhat cold out there."

"Yep, and some more warmth from us cuddling as well~" Touko says as she giggles, before blushing. "It's nice that just you and I get to be in here…"

"I agree, being alone with you in a tent, there is something just great about that." I reply to her as I take out my toothbrush and go out for a short moment to brush my teeth and spit at a random place, before coming back inside to undress and get into my t-shirt I use for sleeping.

Touko is quiet as she keeps her eyes on me, before also taking her toothbrush and walking outside for a moment, before coming back, having brushed her teeth.

She opens up her bag again to put the toothbrush back, and digs after her pajamas, but she appears to look for something else as well.

"Hey Touko, if you need help with looking after what you are searching after, I can help you-"

But as I'm about to finish my sentence, Touko turns around and faces me, and I immediately notice what she has in her mouth.

"T-Touko..?" I ask her as she begins crawling close to me, maintaining eye contact with me. I figure I should just grab the condom she is holding in her mouth.

But as I grab a hold onto it, it folds out and reveals to be ten condoms…

"I know it's sudden, but… it's been awhile since last time, and I have felt a little… frisky in the latest time..!" Touko tells me as I blush while looking at her and the condoms I am holding onto. "And we both know about your great stamina~"

"Are you really sure you want to do it here?" I ask her as she nods, looking at me with a very sensual look in her eyes.

"I am sure the others won't hear..." she says as she gets up on my lap, us two basically being in a cowgirl position now. "Stephy, want to undress me~?"

"...Yeah sure, let's do it~"

The other band girls are about to sleep, chatting some final things among each other. But as they are about to close their eyes…

"Oh, Stephy! I love you so much!"

"Touko, you always feel so good..! I love you so much as well..!"

"Eh, Touko sounds like she is in pain..!" Hagumi says as the others who know exactly what is going on are still quiet, blushing from suddenly hearing these sounds.

"Oh geez, they actually are doing it right now… I just joked about the one time I saw the hickeys on Touko during practice, but they actually do it..!" Tsukushi says as she is heavily blushing. "So lewd and shameless of them to do this right now..!"

"AAAAH, HARDER STEPHAN, HARDER!"

"I FEEL IT COMING, OOOH!"

In both tents, the other band girls are wide eyed from hearing all this, Yukina deciding to investigate a shortie. She soon comes back inside again, blushing.

"Their silhouettes are visible even, they are doing exactly what we think they are doing." she says as she goes back to her bed and covers her blushing face with her hands.

"Well, just let them be really for now. They love each other, so I guess it's only natural they decide to have, well, intercourse, haha..!" Rei says as she laughs awkwardly afterwards. "Let's just try sleeping for now."

The next day, I wake up having a naked Touko right next to and holding onto me, with her smiling in her sleep. Guess she is too exhausted to wake up 5 am right now~

I soon hold her closer to me as I smile as well from feeling her body against mine and I lay a kiss on her forehead.

"Best camping trip, ever."

(So this one basically became an one-shot.

That was not my intention, but I had fun writing this either way, so enjoy an extra long story of me with Touko lol

Anyways, hope you guys look forward to future things, I'm most likely going to write some stuff just about Touko and why I love her, like I started this book with, before I non-stop made these Author Inserts, basically me inserting myself with Touko in smaller stories, semi-connected of them, I guess.

I love Touko Kirigaya immensely and beyond ♡)
