I just finished reading this book at school and I thought Ralph and Jack are good together. Also, I changed the age groups. Older kids: Ralph, Jack, etc. 15-16 (Yes, they still act like kids.) Youngest: 8-10.
*Warning* Yaoi in some ways.
Ralph sat quietly on the beach as he stared at the sky. His face was caked with dried tears, blood, dirt and much more grime. He slowly got up and walked back to on of the shelters. He went in and sat down, cradling the conch. The only thing he had left. Piggy had only been killed hours ago and Ralph was still shivering from the aftershock of the spears driving him away. The sun started to set and Ralph could hear the chanting of another kill. He sighed and closed his eyes as dreariness came over him and he fell asleep.

Jack stood and looked around at his tribe. They were all eating happily and dancing around the fire they had made with Piggy's glasses. Jack held up his hand and everyone settled down to listen to him.
"I am going to make sure our last enemy is not causing trouble. You are all to stay here and if I find any of you followed, we will not go hunting tomorrow." Everyone nodded sincerely as they all knew that Jack meant business is everything he said. Holding a chunk of meat and pretending as if to eat it while on business, he strolled away. Roger the last one to turn away.

Ralph sat up with a jolt as he heard movement outside his shelter. A face appeared in what should have been the doorway and he froze. Jack stared back at him and walked in quietly without being asked. He handed the meat to Ralph who just looked at it.
"Ralph, take it." He demanded as Ralph continued to stare at the meat. Ralph looked up and quickly grabbed it. He started to eat as Jack watched him quietly.
"Why did you give this to me Jack? I am the enemy aren't I?" Jack shrugged and stood. When he got to the doorway, he stopped and spoke to Ralph.
"Tomorrow, we are coming to get you. Be prepared." With that Jack walked off into the darkness. Ralph stared at his retreating figure and went back to sleep.
The next day as Ralph was still sleeping, Jack and his hunters appeared. Ralph felt himself being lifted but didn't struggle as he was carried away. When he woke, he saw himself in a cave. He sat up and went to the entrance. Roger was standing guard and when he saw Ralph was awake, he punched him the jaw. Not hard but enough to make Ralph feel pain. Roger grabbed Ralph by the hair and looked into his gray eyes.
"I don't know why Jack wants to alive but believe me; you won't take him away from me." Roger turned and called out Jacks name as Ralph tried to collect himself. When Jack came, he nodded to Roger and he walked off the order the littleuns. Jack came over and Ralph quickly scrambled out of his reach. This made Jack angry and he tackled Ralph to the ground. Ralph cried out in pain as he hit the stone hard ground. His cries made Jack loosen his grip and move away slightly. Ralph sat up quickly and huddled into a small ball. His head in his knees. Jack went over and tried to remove his hands.
"Ralph. Ralph? Ralph!?" Jack tugged at his hands but Ralph wouldn't move. Jack took a look at Ralph's body. He was dirty and grimy. He needed a bath.
"Ralph, come with me." Ralph didn't move and Jack gritted his teeth. He called Roger back and told him that he was getting water.
XXXX
Roger wondered why Jack was getting water for Ralph. So he asked him. Jack looked at him.
"He's dirty and hurt. When he is better then you can beat him. It will be more fun. Tell the littleuns that I have his trust for now so as not to break it or we will never have our fun." Roger nodded and smiled at this. Jack was still Jack. His Jack.
XXXX
When Jack returned with the water, Ralph still hadn't budged. He sat down behind Ralph's crouched form and took out a piece of cloth from the old shirt he used to wear. He dipped it in the water and ran it down Ralph's back. He jumped violently and stiffened when Jack repeated this motion. Jack continued to in some ways clean Ralph's back till all the dirt was off. At this time, Ralph had calmed down and was humming to himself. He turned his head when Jack's movement stopped and looked at him in confusion.
"The back it done." Ralph nodded and made a movement to get the cloth to clean himself for the rest but Jack took his hand away.
"I'll do the rest tomorrow. Goodnight." Ralph looked outside and noticed that it was dark outside.
"G-good n-night." He stuttered quietly. Jack nodded and slowly leaned forward on his knees. He took Ralph by the shoulder and kissed him quickly on the lips before leaving the cave in a rush.
First chapter done!!! Please R&R Thx. XD
