Tallahassee was a man who had little to no regrets after the infection started, seeing as how his only son died before he could save him, and didn't have anything else left to care about but himself and killing every damn zombie in the world. He considered himself amongst the luckiest of people to survive the ever growing population of the undead, with his badass skills and all. But what he didn't expect was to meet the scrawny, nerdy, spineless, neurotic ex-college student on an empty highway in Texas. Much less fall for said spit-fuck. Which brought him to the current problem that he was facing right now.

After the incident at Pacific Playland, Wichita and Columbus were now glued to the hip, and always paired up together whether it was raiding a grocery store for food or staying up all night to guard the other two while they sleep. Tallahassee didn't mind this at all for a few days, for it gave him time to teach Little Rock all the things he wasn't able to teach his own son when he was still alive. Little Rock was a fast learner, and the southerner was quite proud of the little girl for coming this far on her own.

But as the week past by, the older zombie hunter wanted to spend some time with the ex-college student; but each time he tried to make a conversation with Ohio, Wichita would appear and either whisper something in the younger man's ear and lead him away into another room, or say out loud that she needed help with something, and it was pissing Tallahassee off to no end. 'Bitchita', as he now called her in his mind, clearly had Columbus under her spell; for the younger man didn't seem to notice how Tallahassee kept sending him looks, or how Florida kept glaring in jealousy at Wichita when she played with his curly brown locks of hair.

By the second week both Tallahassee and Little Rock were getting tired from being ignored by the other two in their group. Wichita was spending less and less time with her little sister, and it disappointed Little Rock that her sister would rather spend more time with Columbus than her own sister. True, she was happy her sister found love, but it was getting on her nerves that Wichita wouldn't even talk to her anymore.

Tallahassee on the other hand, was blaming himself for letting this happen. He knew that Wichita had Columbus wrapped around her finger, and was making sure no one else got close to him. He himself would have kept spit-fuck to himself, but didn't have any time to make a move on the ex-college student while struggling to keep them alive and safe. But now...now he was determined to get his boy back from the conniving Bitchita, and he would get him back no matter what it took. Getting up from his comfortable position on the couch, he stretched a bit before walking over towards the window, noting how the sun was setting steadily under the clouds. Florida admired the beauty of the sunset for a minute, then turned around and saw the person who was the center of his thoughts standing a few feet away from him, looking at him with a curious look on his face.

"Whatcha want, spit-fuck?" Tallahassee asked and looked around, noting that Wichita hadn't appeared yet.

"Ummm...I was wondering if I could have uh, first shift with you tonight?" Columbus said, and proceeded to look down at his feet. Tallahassee looked at the younger boy with surprise in his eyes and watched as Ohio fiddled with his hoodie's middle pocket.

"What? You don't want to be with Wichita tonight, Ohio?" Columbus winced at the older zombie hunter's words. It was true. Columbus was starting to feel..uneasy around Wichita lately, and desperately wanted to talk to someone about it. Namely Tallahassee. He always felt a bit more comfortable around Florida than with anyone else, even more than Wichita.

"Please?" Columbus finally looked up, and Tallahassee saw the desperate look in his boys eyes. Despite the look, the southerner grinned at the thought of Wichita hold on Columbus coming undone right now.

"Sure thing, Columbus. Let's go tell the girls about the switch tonight." Tallahassee couldn't keep the grin off his face as he and Columbus walked into the kitchen and saw that the girls were about to make dinner for them.

"Alright girls. Here is the game plan tonight," Tallahassee exclaimed as the girls and Columbus now looked at him, waiting for him to continue on with his plan, "For the first watch, instead of it being Little Rock and I, it will be me and Columbus. And the second watch will be you two girls. Understood?"

Wichita looked really pissed off at the news, and was about to say something to the hick until Little Rock bumped into her, giving her a look and saying, "That sounds fine with us, Tallahassee! Now you boys go into the living room or something so we can start making dinner." Little Rock shooed the boys away from the kitchen, but not before giving Florida a wink before she turned back and went back to helping her sister out with the food.

Tallahassee wasted no time in leading Columbus from the kitchen towards the living room, and headed outside on the patio, where there was a single table and four chairs around it, with lots of decaying plants surrounding it. The southerner pulled out a chair and gestured for Columbus to sit in it, satisfied when he saw a slight blush on his boy's face, and heard him mumble "Thanks." before he took out a chair beside Columbus, then surprised Ohio by sitting on the table instead of sitting in the chair he pulled out.

Once Tallahassee was comfortable from his spot on the table, he looked down at Columbus and decided to get his boy to tell him what was going on with Wichita. "So kid, what's up with you and Wichita?" He asked in a calm tone, never taking his eyes off of Columbus' face.

"I...I wanted to talk to you about that," Columbus began, "I am beginning to feel...uneasy and uncomfortable around her now. And it's been like this for the past few days now. I mean, I thought at first when I met her that I fell in love with her. But ever since we escaped Pacific Playland, that feeling just started magically disappearing, and now all I want to do is..." Ohio stopped himself before he could blurt out, 'spend more time with you cause I found out I love you.' and looked away from Tallahassee, trying to fight down the blush the was now appearing on his face. He really didn't want to ruin the friendship he had with the older man now just because he was very much attracted to the southerner. Maybe it was best if he kept this to himself...

While Columbus getting lost in his own thoughts, Tallahassee couldn't believe what he was hearing from his spit-fuck. So Wichita didn't have have him under her spell after all, and he was just going along with whatever she wanted to do. Smiling a true smile for the first time in what seemed forever, Tallahassee moved himself around on the table,so that both of his legs were on each side of Columbus' chair, grinning when the kid looked at his legs in surprise, but still meeting him eye to eye. Florida decided it was a good time to get the boy to know who he truly belonged to...

"Hey Collie. Look over here at me. Cause I know damn well that my legs aren't that interesting." Tallahassee chuckled as his boy looked up at him with surprise clearly written in his dark green eyes.

"Wha...what did you call me?" Columbus asked, his heart racing in his chest at the thought of Tallahassee giving him what sounded like an affectionate nickname. As he looked into Florida's clear blue eyes, he felt himself get lost in those ocean blue eyes, and wanted to stay that way forever.

The older zombie hunter leaned in until their foreheads were pressed together, and smirked a bit when he saw the spit-fuck's face go red, and knew in that instant that his boy had feelings for him as well. Florida suddenly lifted his left hand, keeping his eyes locked with those enchanting green eyes as he ran his hand through his Collie's hair, loving the feel of the soft curls that easily curled around his own fingers.

"You don't like it when I give you a new nickname, Spit-fuck? Well too bad, cause in my mind, you'll always will be my Collie." And with that said, Tallahassee closed the distance between them, pressing his lips firmly against Collie's mouth in a sweet but possessive kiss. Pretty soon, Tallahassee wanted to taste even more of his boy, so he licked and nipped at Ohio's mouth until he finally got the desired response from his Collie, who opened his mouth to moan in pleasure.

Within no time at all Tallahassee had plunged his tongue into Collie's mouth, growling deep in his throat when he felt his spit-fuck wrap his arms around his neck, pulling him to the point where the older zombie hunter was practically sitting on his Collie's lap, making both men moan in pleasure at the heat growing between them. It was in this position that the girls found them in when dinner was ready a few minutes later.

"WHAT THE HELL?" Wichita yelled out, getting pissed by the second as the two males suddenly ended their passionate kiss, both panting heavily as they tried getting their breaths back, as if they didn't even hear Wichita in the first place. At first they totally ignored her, and they were both content to just look into each other's eyes, knowing that they both now had feeling for each other, and knew absolutely nothing would come in between them ever again.

"HEY! I'm talking to you two!" Both men were snapped out of their thoughts and looked over at the fully pissed off Wichita and the giggling Little Rock behind her. Tallahassee gave Little Rock a quick wink and looked back at Wichita, and gave her a smirk that pissed her off even more.

"What does it look like? I'm enjoying my free time with my Collie." Tallahassee exclaimed, lazily wrapping his arms around Columbus, who was content to bury his face in the southerner's neck while gripping the back of his jacket with his fists.

"IT'S OVER BETWEEN US, COLUMBUS!" Wichita screeched out and stormed back in the house, more than likely planning to either leave them or just ignore them from now on. After a few minutes of complete silence, Little Rock spoke up, "Dinner is ready you guys. And congrats on getting together!" And with that, Little Rock grinned at them and also went back inside the house, her mind now thinking of the ways she can 'spy' on her new favorite couple.

For a few minutes, neither men said a word to each other, and were content to stay in the positions they were in. But as soon as Columbus felt his stomach grumble, he pulled away from his southern hick, and smiled at him. "So what do you say we get some food, Tally?"

Tallahassee blinked at him, and then gave his boy another quick kiss on the lips and gave him a grin. "I don't know about that, Collie. Cause right now I am perfectly comfortable sitting in my new seat."

Columbus blushed even more, just now realizing that his Twinkie-obsessed cowboy was straddling him, and decided to to respond by lightly pushing his Tally off of him with no success at all.

"So, ready for the first night shift together, Collie?" Tallahassee said, amused that he got his collie all flustered up by a suggestive comment. Columbus nodded at him, and he knew right then that he would do everything in his power to keep his boy with him at all times, and to show him that he truly cared about his feelings, and not putting him under a spell, like Wichita did.

Life, Tallahassee decided, was good again, now that he had his Collie by his side.
