TWO-SHOT

Shane watched him constantly; Deputy Rick Grimes was a hero and he was definitely more of a hero than he himself could ever be.

He watched Rick always; he watched him interact with the other survivors and he listened to what words of wisdom he had to say. Only if he was as great as Rick just one day, just to see what it was like to be a kind man, to be a self-sacrificing man…but Shane Walsh was an asshole of a man. He didn't have the heart that the others did and certainly not like Rick; Grimes was the strongest one out of them all doing his best to keep them all in tack.

Shane Walsh was a jerk who thought about what was best for himself he was the selfish arrogant bastard out of the group, well besides Daryl but even that redneck had the heart for others, not Shane.

He watched Rick when it was morning and he watched him when it was night, whatever Rick did Shane couldn't handle himself; he always wanted to be like him ever since he was young. He saw how Rick comforted Lori, how he handled her so carefully and kissed her so softly like she was a piece of fragile glass…Shane knew it was impossible for him to be that gentle it wasn't in his nature to be like that. But there was something inside him that always seemed to click into gear and that thing inside him were his feelings for Grimes.

He just wished he could sneak up on that skinny Deputy and wrap his arms around him, squeezing the fucking daylights out of him. He had always wanted to do that just once;

.

Night had dawned quickly on the group of survivors. Laughter was shared and stories were told around the fire; Shane was drunk and within time he had become the groups' 'crazy drunk'. He was never able to hold his liquor like some men; even holding his anger was a tough job for this former officer.

He was pissed, he was enraged! He just wished Rick never returned…everything was better without him; before Rick Shane was the leader he was the one everyone looked up to and now that person was Rick. Shane caught himself staring at Lori and then Rick, watching very closely as they held each other.

Dale worried for Shane, everyone worried for Shane. After saying one word to him, Shane burst into an uncontrollable rage leaving the campsite with Rick on his tail.

Rick didn't understand what he had said; he didn't mean to hurt him, hell he wasn't even planning on hurting him like he did while he followed him into the woods. "Shane, Shane!" Rick lost him but he was still on him like a walker on blood. He could smell him; running through every fucking tree Shane found a good stopping place his mind jerked around and wasted as he leaned his back against a nearby tree slumping to the ground with a discarded twig poking him in the back.

"Fuck you Rick, fuck you!" Shane tossed his empty beer bottle and let the both of his legs go weak before him as his head hit the tree his eyes closed.

His hearing faded and his body went numb; he cried and cried waking from his drunken sleep kicking the ground and cursing like a wild beast. "I will fuckin' kill you! I will KILL YOU!" He stood up on uncoordinated feet one pant leg tucked into one boot as the other fell free; looking down himself through cloudy eyes he disgusted himself at his clothing; all drenched in hot summer's sweat from head to fucking toe…and those fucking cargo pants fuck he just hated them! He hated everything about him!

He cried again this time louder trying to ignore the alcohol on his tongue as a crunch of a little twig popped in his ear. "The fuck?" he cursed wiping at his eyes trying to contain himself ready to kill that mother fuckin' walker. "Come on you walker let me kill ya' ass!" he was indeed inebriated to the point of awkward slurs and uncoordinated movements as he walked toward the sound.

"Shane…" it was Rick that little scrawny ass Deputy who everyone loved and Shane watched how that dark figure moved toward him, so slow-like and quiet arms out in front of him.

Shane backed up almost falling to the ground. "Get away from me…!" as soon as Rick was close enough to touch, Shane failed to notice and once he did he freaked and shoved Rick to the ground ready to beat the shit out of him. "I said keep away from me!" he bunched a fist tight and hard ready to strike the startled Grimes with one unstable foot pressed hard into his gut.

Rick struggled but somehow pushed the other man's foot away and got him to his back. "You're drunk Shane calm down!" Rick didn't top Shane but he kneeled over to hold his shoulders back into the damp cold earth noticing the wet tear stains covering his cheeks.

"Stop it man!" the bigger man wiggled beneath Rick and pushed him again this time harder than before tackling him into a tree.

.

Rick dodged a slow fist and kneed Walsh in the stomach; he wasn't mean enough to get him where it counted but that would've helped.

Rick had to do something about this; he didn't want the others to hear and he definitely didn't want to attract the walkers. "Calm down Shane, you need to calm down!" his breath was warm against Shane's ear and he fell limp against him so immediately it was almost too hard to catch him in time.

Rick held him and let the bigger man cry into his shoulder and the nook of his neck. He smelled terribly of booze and it almost disgusted Rick away but he should be used to it by now. "Come on Shane everything's alright," a caring hand grabbed the back of his head as the other wrapped around him holding him tenderly. Shane cried hard it moved Rick; he knew he couldn't return to the camp with Shane so distraught it would wreck him even more.

Setting him carefully down on the ground against a tree he watched Shane slowly doze off, the effects of the fucking booze over coming him. "Oh Rick come on I know you wanna' hit me…don't deny it!" a sudden smirk found Shane's lips as he lay there so vulnerable his head against the tree with dark eyes locked onto Rick's that held so much anger. Rick was scared and stood up.

"Stop it Shane," Rick tried to keep his voice to a minimum his hands on his two hips. Shane still watched him. God was Rick a handsome piece of man just standing there like he was fucking something; it angered Shane even more to the point of him stumbling to get to his feet and grab a fist full of thin matted hair. Rick gritted his teeth from the pain and used everything he had to release Shane's grip. He could tell the alcohol was kicking in making Shane act crazy and Rick began to get a strange feeling in his gut that wasn't friendly.

Shane wanted him, he wanted to be him why the hell couldn't they just switch places and live happily like that? Shane cried more pulling tighter on his former partner's hair until he heard rips of all kinds. "How could you do this to me, you should have never come back Grimes, you ruined me!" tears fell fast from his eyes and Rick worried even more, his heart rapidly pounding in his chest.

"Stop it!" Rick pushed at him feeling how rough and hard his chest was against his palms. All Shane did was smirk in return pulling harder and shoving him to the ground again. "Fuck you Grimes!" He spat at Rick and that warm saliva landed perfectly over his left cheek causing Rick to wipe and turn his head. He didn't know what he did, he didn't understand. "Shane you are fucking drunk and I won't hurt you so stop this it's useless!" Rick crawled to his feet his sides aching from all the heavy breathing when he got a knee to the face and was knocked back over. Shane was a fucking beast right now breathing hard and loud pinning himself above Rick.

"I wanna' see you fight me man show me those football skills a' yours!" he wiped those stray tears away from his eyes and saw Rick's own tears glisten in the moonlight.

Grimes was amazing; amazing in every way and there was no wonder Shane had turned into a fucking asshole, he was fucking jealous! He wanted Lori, he wanted Shane he just wanted everything from them. Turning away Rick spit blood as his nose poured staring weakly up at his attacker. "I-I won't!" his voice was damaged and rugged breathing slow and rough. Shane was hurting him for no reason at all and it was hurting himself seeing him like this but there was no other way. He needed him, he craved him… "Fuckin' asshole!" Shane jumped up words slurred, giving Rick a weak kick in the side with the tip of his boot. Rick turned over to cough like an asthma victim holding himself as more blood than before dibbled free from his nose and mouth. He felt like he needed to say sorry as he lay there hurting like hell but he had no reason to. He didn't even know what was going on.

Soon after a while, Lori had snuck her way where the two officers' remained, witnessing Rick get the hell beat out of him.

"RICK, Shane stop it!" she cried loud enough rushing toward the injured deputies side putting her own shaking hands over his that shook as well covered in blood. Rick attempted to get up but Lori held him down. "Oh Rick…god what the hell is wrong with you Shane!" Lori stood up getting too close to Shane who stood there wobbling on his two feet smirking.

"Oh he's not hurt girl…" he reached out to her pulling back the V-neck of her blouse trying to get a good peek at what was there. She was a flat chested woman but man did he love her breasts. Instantly she smacked his hand away and reached up to give him a good smacking but she was slow and he crushingly grabbed her hand and moved close staring down at her. " .of me!" she yanked her hand away reclaiming it as her own and that's when he pulled her toward him and kissed her hard.

He tasted terrible; her hands planted into his rock-like torso and shoved him back. He was drunk enough for even Lori a little woman to push him to the ground but all he did was wobble backwards.

He growled deep in his throat and Rick stopped him with a loud grunted curse. The two of them looked down at him and Lori dropped to her knees again. Shane watched them cuddle, watched them sit there like they were forever together.

Shane wanted that, he needed that from someone anyone!

"You leave us the hell alone Shane I don't want you around here anymore!" Lori yelled her voice hard and stern sending little chills down Rick's sore spine. Shane still watched with wet blood shot eyes rubbing his nose free of snot and blood.

The air was cool and gave the hot sweat covered man chills. He could still taste Lori on his lips and liked that.

.
.

Lori tried to help Rick stand and was successful. "I'm fine, I'm fine," Rick told her setting his jaw into lock-mode climbing to his feet. Shane wobbled still and Rick brushed himself off as Lori stepped back like she almost knew what he was intending on doing; and she knew right. Rick marched toward Shane and knocked him hard in the jaw, those boney knuckles of his cutting and eventually bruising the skin.

The drunken man fell over and lay there still for a few moments. Rick looked over at Lori and kissed her, telling her to go back to the camp and not to worry; she almost didn't listen but she knew he would be okay.

Once she left that gave Rick the time to pull him up and press him up against a tree. He felt sorrier for the tree than Shane at this moment. "You listen Shane I am not going to hurt you even though I think I should I won't I don't even know what is goin' on anymore but if you think this is how our relationship is headin' to than fine by me, just stay away from Lori," his grip on Shane's shoulders were weak but strong enough to hold him up. Shane's eyes rolled involuntarily to the back of his head from the effects of the alcohol as tears went again.

Rick wanted so badly to knock him one again but he was his friend, his partner and he wasn't a violent man, only when it came down to it but not like this.

"I love you Rick…he breathed weak against Rick's face; his face wasn't quite a mess but it wasn't too pretty either. Rick was taken by surprise so quickly it stunned him a little. What kind of 'love' did he mean? Rick loved him but a brotherly kind of love, hopefully nothing beyond that. Shane let his hands roam forward and land on Rick's hips. He was now weak and vulnerable again, mind a mess and heart damaged.

"Shane you're fine," Rick replied and it wasn't what Shane wanted; he wanted him to tell him that he loved him too and hug him or something other than pin him back like he was some sort of animal. It upset him to the point of serious heartache.

Rick understood what Shane was doing; he fell to his knees eyes tightly closed tears falling like rain. "I'm sorry Rick, I'm so sorry oh god I'm sorry!" he held his own head pulling his curly locks until it hurt. Rick hated seeing him like this. "No stop it don't say that none of us had done anything wrong," Rick had fallen to his knees as well joining his torn friend who was wet with tears and sweat. Putting his arms around him Rick could feel the heat radiate from his body to him. "Yes Rick I fuckin' hurt you, I hurt you so bad," Rick had let him fall into him holding his head close to his own as their foreheads met. Rick did his best to keep his emotions from falling out, he needed to be strong for him but it was hard.

"That doesn't matter Shane we all do things we are not proud of," Rick's one free hand grabbed onto Shane's right thigh and squeezed the large muscle. It twitched beneath his touch and before long Shane's cries died and they each stared at each other heads still touching, eyes wandering and lips smacking. It came down to this; Rick wiped Shane's eyes and Shane wiped Rick's lips of the blood that had dried there in the cracks. Afterwards Rick shut his eyes to think licking his freshly touched lips tasting the salt and dirt from Shane's thumb digging his fingers deeper into Shane's thick thigh traveling upwards.

Shane's palm that held Rick's face reached around to pull his little hairs at the end of his neck moving the both of them backwards. Rick knew where this was going and didn't like it; Shane's body was crushing against him, their thighs meeting, and their hips grinding painfully when Rick gasped for fresh air. "Shane…we can't do this!" he breathed into his ear, letting his arms fall at his sides where Shane's arms controlled. Shane didn't let him move a muscle letting his lips tickle the delicate skin behind his ear. This isn't the first time this has happened between them; they are childhood friends and things happened back then that made them blush today…now looking back on those certain things and now at this particular moment made Rick wiggle uncomfortably.

"We can do this man…just relax," Shane's voice was husky and hard his lips meeting the right side of Rick's damaged jaw kissing it sweetly while one hand played with the opposite side.

Rick's brows knitted together as he groaned arching into Shane, his back still sore from Shane's beating. "Just keep quiet," Rick responded quietly letting his fingertips dig into the toned muscles of his partner's back growing intensely hot from the closeness and the sensual touching.

Shane's mind finally stepped into a relaxed state but there was still more time for the painful hangover to slip in; hopefully their intimate motives would ease the pain.
