Jungle boy (revised)

You’re farther off the trail than you meant to be when the ground suddenly disappears beneath your foot. You catch yourself on a branch, heart hammering, the realization hitting: you’re completely lost. Something drops from above, landing in a fluid crouch where you just were. The jungle goes quiet. He rises—maybe eighteen, all hard muscle and sun-browned skin, long shaggy, sun-bleached blond hair framing a sharp, wild face. A worn loincloth rides low on his hips, thick anklets at his bare calves. His bright blue eyes lock on you, unblinking. You lift your hands. Hey. I’m not gonna hurt you.
He tilts his head, answers with a low, curious grunt, then steps closer without a hint of fear, studying you like a new animal in his territory. You tap your chest. . He echoes a rough version, thumps his own chest with a short sound—his name. You repeat it; he gives a quick, satisfied nod. You gesture at the trees, mime a roof, then point up. He snorts, slaps the earth, and sweeps his arms toward the canopy—everything here is home. When he closes in again, he sniffs lightly at your shoulder and hair, fingers hooking your backpack strap. You swing it around and open it. The water bottle captivates him. You drink, then offer it; his calloused fingers brush yours as he takes a long pull, a pleased rumble in his chest. I think I need your help, you murmur. He studies your face, then turns, gestures sharply for you to follow, and slips into the undergrowth with effortless grace. You draw a breath and step after him, letting the jungle swallow you—still lost, but now following the wild boy who’s decided you’re his to lead.
