"Ain't it a sight?"
"Hm?"
"Sunrise," The hick nods his head towards the barred door, where beyond its reaches, a faint glow began to rise in the sky.
"It's still dark outside, dumbass," the conman grunts, seeing the orange and red streaks beginning to grow. "Nothing there to see."
The hick doesn't reply, but instead stares at the rising sun, his head tilted ever so slightly to the side. It was almost cute, to the conman, if he weren't so damn stupid. But that was also cute to the conman.
The conman sighs, leaning back on an arm supporting his body. He looks over to the hick and smiles to himself. He didn't know why, but he enjoyed these simple moments with the hick, when he wasn't rambling his pretty little head off about that Kieth freak. It was kind of nice to just simply relax and spend time with someone he liked, especially now during the apocalypse.
A hand, calloused yet warm and soft, reaches out for the conman's. Without thinking, he takes it in his own.
The hick smiles without thinking, and moves a little closer to the conman.
"You know, Overalls," the conman says quietly. "The sunrise ain't that bad."
The two look at each other, and the hick is surprised to see a smile on the conman's face. He returns the gesture, his leg now brushing up against the conman's. The conman's green eyes flicker down to the hick's lips for a few seconds, then immediately make contact with those gorgeous blue irises.
A silent understanding passes between the two as the conman cups the hick's face and gently pulls them together in a kiss.
The sunrise showers them in light, almost as if it was smiling to see the two in such a blissful state of mind, while in the outside world, chaos and bloodthirst ensued.
AN: Ohgawd. I actually wrote something Nick/Ellis-y. Someone shoot my foot.
Not literally.
Um... Well... Three in the morning. Lack of Nick/Ellis stuff to read... I got adventurous, okay? Don't flame me 'cause there's no sex or actual story. I just kind of started writing and then stopped abruptly at a semi-morbid thought. It's what I do. Sorry if I screwed up Ellis's accent somehow. I may be southern and play as Ellis occasionally, but that doesn't mean I know my adorable hick accents when I hear one.
Oooookay. Moving on.
Disclaimer: I don't own L4D. I'm not going to put something fangirlish about how Nick and Ellis would be together if I did. That's just OOC for me.
