"Okay a little to the left... Little more... Liiittle more... Okay fire!" Piper pulled the trigger to the sniper rifle. The sound of flesh and bone splitting apart as it fell to the red asphalt whispered through the moans of the dead.
"HOLY SHIT! DID YOU SEE THAT FUCKING HEAD FALL APART?" Victor gripped his head, his eyes wide like saucers, as he looked at Piper take off the blind-fold. She noted the awe in his eyes from the shot, giving Jason a sideways glance as he chuckled to himself from Victor's statement, while looking through a pair of binoculars.
"No, I completely missed it," Piper rolled her eyes as she passed him the gun, taking her shot of petrom.
Jason took his eyes away from the carnage that was going on, on the ground floor, and looked at what was happening on the roof. Lily clung to Jason's leg. Sure, she was happy there were more people in the group, but she was still too scared to talk to anyone. Kishoku was standing by vent that Duke and Jason turned into a make-shift grill, Akira watching over his shoulder, making him smile. Kyonto and Ebisu kept to themselves, separating themselves from the others, Ebisu was reading some book and Kyonto was cleaning his guns. He sipped on a beer, but that was about as far as it went for him. Haru was tinkering with some kinda radio, Risu helping him. Kai, Duke, Sabrina, Patrica, and Tyler were all talking on the couches- which Jason still hadn't figured out how they got up here- and laughing. Duke and Kai convinced Sabrina to let Tyler drink with them, Duke saying that he had his first beer when he was ten. And Kai saying that in a zombie apocalypse if he can shoot a gun, then he can drink a beer. Sabrina caved on more than one front. Both Tyler and her, had their first beers. Patricia drank hers like she drank soda, but she would never admit she was an alcoholic, no matter how drunk Jason got her. Alexis held the sniper rifle, it being her turn to shoot. Jason told her to shoot the zombie that looked like Berry Manolo. Said zombie fell to the ground moments later, a clean new hole replaced it's left eye.
Alexis smirked proudly, staring down at her kill from top the approached Alexis, holding his canteen in front of her. "Very good American- you may sniff my vodka." He waited expectantly, until she did so.
"Gee, thanks." if her tone was anymore sarcastic it would have sounded like she meant it. "Wrathe, your turn." She tossed him the gun, only he him to throw it back. "What the hell? It's not a drinking game if everyone isn't playing."
"Do not bother. Jason is little bitch, who could not shot wings off-" Victor's insult was interrupted by gunfire.
Jason had pulled out one of his handguns as he looked at the others through the binoculars. Without looking, he fired his gun at the ground below three times, as the sound of moaning was cut off. "What is that a double, or triple?"
"Fuck you!" Victor cursed as he poured Jason a triple shot for killing three zombies. Lily looked at Jason frightened as he downed the shot. He look told him all he needed to know.
"Don't worry, even drunk, I'm not gonna let anything happen to you. I promise." Jason ruffled her hair with a smile, as Duke walked up to them, putting his arm around Jason's shoulder.
"Yeah, I promise too. By the way my names Duke. What's yours, sweet pea?" Duke was drinking his four beer when she answered.
"M-my names L-Lily."
The liquor that was sliding down Duke's throat decided to come back up, as he spat it all in Jason's face, before looking at the girl incredulously. "I'm sorry, what did you say?"
"Her names Lily." Jason clarified, knowing full well what this meant.
(Flashback)
"Duke! Get your sorry buhind down stairs right now- or so help me- I will drag you down!"
Duke groaned into his pillow as he stretched. The morning light reflected off of his baby blue eyes, He turned over and sat up, the covers sliding off of his chiseled chest. A loud scoff alerted him at the door. His little sister was standing in the doorway with her hands on her hips. Her chocolate brown curls bellowed over her eyesight blue eyes. "What?" he yawned, his arms stretched out over his head.
"Would you put a shirt on!- this ain't Twilight!"
The two stared at each other for a minute, before bursting into fits of laughter. Lily jumped onto Duke's bed, tackling him into a hug. Duke began to tickle her. Her giggles were soft and sweet like marshmallows. The two got dressed went don stairs, ate breakfast and left for training. Lily always went with Duke when it was time for Spartan PT, just so she could make fun of him after words. And it would be the last time she did so...
(End Flashback)
"Hey," Jason grabbed Duke's shoulder, catching his attention, before sitting next to him. After meeting Lily, Duke sat on a coach away from the others, reminiscing about his fallen sister. Duke mourned for her even to this day. Jason shook his head, knowing exactly what he was thinking. They drank their beers in silence... Well, relative silence, seeing as the music was playing behind them. "Sooo," Jason cooed, trying to lighten the mood, "how's my little Christian doing?"
Duke groaned in annoyance at the sound of his name. He didn't like people calling him that, but dealed with it when Jason did, because, well... It was Jason. "Not now, Jason. I ain't feelin' to right."
"Oh come on, I'm sure I can come up with something to cheer you up." Jason smirk.
"I really doubt..." Duke looked at Jason curiously, an eyebrow raised. When Jason nodded, Duke smiled a little. "Aw, what the hell? It's worth a try." Jason patted his back, laughing, as the two stood up.
(five minutes later)
"Okay, would someone please tell me what they're doing?" Piper was still confused about what was going on. Duke and Jason stood opposite each other, in front of a table with a two pump-action shotgun and ten shot glasses. Jason and Duke looked like they were about to drew guns in some bad western movie. Patricia sighed, as she began to explain it to her.
"Basically, Jason and Duke are gonna tear those guns apart, then put them back together, and take a shot. After the shot, they start all over- until someone screws up, or someone finishes his shots. Gt it, Govna'?" Patricia snickered at Piper, before receiving a smack in the back of the head from said Britain. She laughed despite the hurt, raising a hand to signal the boys to prepare. "Alright! On the count of three! One... Tw- Hey!"
Jason already grabbed his gun, laughing as he began to strip it down. Duke hastily fumbles with the shotgun- soon calming himself- at the sudden start. "That's called cheatin'!"
"Hey, if I didn't cheat- then I wouldn't really wanna win!" Jason smirked, putting the newly rebuilt gun down and taking his shot.
Duke put down the rebuilt gun, "Don't you know cheaters never win?", he proceeded to take a shot, then started again.
"Yeah!- tell that to my last six wins!" Jason smirked. The two burst into laughter as they continued the game. Strip. Rebuild. Strip. Rebuild. Shot after shot, after shot, after... shot. After...?
"What the hell?" Patricia was the first to notice that the two contestants had just taken their eighth shot, "Hold it- hold it- hold it! Who's fucking with the game?"
Almost instantly, everyone looked between Jason and Duke, seeing Victor standing there with a bottle hidden behind him. "What? What you looking at?- I do nothing." His eyes shifted back and forth. The silence was deadly strong, as the crushing weight of truth broke down Victor's heavily accented voice. Laughter filled the air as Duke, Jason, and Victor shared a drink- Jason and Duke taking their last shot and Victor taking a swig from the bottle. "This is boring! Let us play real game!"
"Ye- *hiccup* Yeah!Let's play- *hiccup* lets play... *hiccup* Lets play... u- *hiccup*m..."
"Duke, your drunk." Jason smiled at his friend as they took seats on a couch. Victor sat across from them as Kishoku and Haru carried over a table the boys brought up from downstairs earlier. Everyone grabbed a seat and crowded around the table as Akira and Kishoku carried over plates of food. they were about to eat when Lily, who was sitting on Jason's lap, looked up at him and asked, 'What about grace?', to which Jason responded... "Dear lord... Fuck you!- Lets eat!"
"What the-" Piper was about to complain about how Jason just cursed in front of a little girl and about grace, but Duke interrupted her.
"Amen!"
She sighed, and everyone began to eat. Idol chatter was very weak, and Jason didn't like the suffocating silence. Neither did Patricia, because she shouted, "Who wants to play 'I never'?" Unsure murmurs flitted across the table.
"How do you play?" Haru raised his hand, earning a few odd looks. He slowly lowered his head in shame, earning a laugh from Jason and Victor.
"Count us in!" The two said together, raising a shot in approval.
"Screw it, why not." Alexis shrugged. She was bored, and this might be somewhat fun. Keywords being 'might' and 'somewhat'.
Everyone else either shrugged, or nodded, in agreement. So after they were done eating and removing the trash- i.e. throwing it over the edge of the roof- they put the rest of the alcohol Duke, Chris, and Victor snagged from the bars on the table and took seats. Lily didn't sit on Jason's lap this time, instead sitting next to him, while eating a piece of cake. Kishoku either made it, or found a bakery, Jason wasn't sure. Patricia approached her, putting her hands on her hips as she glared down at the little girl. "Move." Her voice was threatening, and even without a gun, she still scared Lily. Lily promptly jumped into Jason's lap, shaking slightly. Jason rubbed her back, smiling as he shook his head at Patricia. Patricia just shrugged in response, not caring in the least.
"Next time she does that, just tell her no, and ignore her. 'Kay?" Jason whispered into her ear. His hot breath burned against Lily's flesh, making her skin crawl as thoughts of her father crept back to her. Seeing this, Jason kissed her forehead in apology, before speaking to the group. "So who's first?"
I'll- *hiccup* I'll go first!" Duke shot into a standing position, raising his glass.
"Oh, good!" Jason grinned widely, "I'll get drunk, and you'll be sober. Just like it should be!"
Duke was going to say something, but his mind was a haze of thoughts and blurs. "I've- *hiccup* I've never... I've never, um... *hiccup* I've never cheated on a test i- *hiccup*- in school." a chorus of 'boo's followed his sentence, as Patricia, Alexis, Victor, Ebisu, and Kyonto took a drink.
Haru was next, picking a slightly better one. "I've never had to deal with the thought of a zombie apocalypse before." Everyone thought it over and let it slide. Everyone but Jason, who took a swig of his drink. When everyone looked at him he shrugged.
"Hey I saw Night of the living dead, House of the dead 1, and 2; Dawn of the dead, Land of the dead, and 28 days- and weeks- later. I was prepared!"
"It's true," Patricia nodded in addition, "He even set up a calling link so whoever had his number could call him through some government satellite."
"How do you...?" Piper and the others were to confused to complete the sentence.
All of the sudden Patricia pulled out her phone and dialed a number. A few seconds later, Barbie girl was playing and Jason pulled out his cell phone. He pressed talk and then speaker, as Patricia spoke into her phone. "If you haven't noticed, I've been texting him the entire time!" Her voice echoed through Jason's phone, before the two of them turned off their phones. The group looked at them incredulously.
"Are you kidding me?" Piper was furiously, "You could have told you damnit!"
Patricia just shrugged, "Didn't seem important enough."
After Piper cooled down, the game continued with Sabrina. "I've never... had my first kiss." Her face flushed wildly from the confession. Almost everyone took a drink. I say almost, because Duke, Haru, Ebisu, and Akira didn't.
"Seriously guys?" Jason questioned, looking at the four red faced teens, stopping at Duke. "And you? Still?" Duke shrugged, not bothering to speak, seeing as he knew exactly what Jason would say. "Man even Tyler's had a first kiss," say boy nodded, "I swear you two are this close to having your man cards revoked."
Scattered chuckles and giggles swept the group, while Chris took his turn. "I've never trusted people a lot."
Only six people took a drink, including Duke and Jason. "Wow, gettin' deep," Kai teased, clapping his hands, "Okay, my turn! I've never dated my best friends sibling."
Jason and Patricia were the only ones to take a drink this time. "Seriously Jason? Do you even have limits?" Piper raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, actually I do. I draw the line at British people," Jason was trying not to laugh as he spoke, while others did so, "There's just something about that accent that bothers me. "'Ello, Govna! Would you like some tea and crumpets?'" Piper's eye twitched as everyone burst into fits of laughter from the bad imitation.
Piper searched hr mind for something to call him, but nothing seemed to be good enough to use, or even able to get a twitch from him. So she settled with- "Ninny."
Jason, who had been laughing non-stop, stopped immediately, a blank-confused look on his face. "What?"
Piper didn't bother to answer him. Instead, Tyler went. "I never had a drink until now." Everyone shrugged, seeing as he was still a kid, there wasn't much he could have done.
"Alright," Alexis stood up as she outed herself, "I've never had sex." The scattered fits of laughter, small hints of giggles, and Jason's outright laugh suddenly stopped. A blush burned at her cheeks as Alexis hurriedly took her seat. Everyone was quiet, the only sound being the faint moans from the dead below. Jason, Victor, Piper, Chris, Kai, Kyonto, and Kishoku took a drink. None of them made a snide remark, no matter how bad they wanted to.
even Jason was quiet, though his eyes were looking Alexis up and down. feeling someone watching her, Alexis turned her gaze from her drink to the group. Jason, seeing her red face lift, quickly looked away as he took another drink of his beer. Patricia raised an eyebrow at him, to which he smirked at, winking at her. Patricia just rolled her eyes, taking a swig of hers as well. Feeling the silence has gone on long enough, Victor's heavy voice shattered it. "I never offed little sister, that is for sure."
"Oh come on, really?" Victor laughed as Jason took another drink. The majority of the gave off a confused vibe, but soon understanding set in and the confusion was replaced by horror. Lily hugged herself closer to Jason, knowing about the fate of his other sister. Jason gave her a soft smile as he ruffled her hair, and kissed her forehead. Now it was Piper's go.
"I never had to deal with Jason until this started!" Piper stuck her tongue out at him as the laughter returned from earlier. Duke, Patricia, Sabrina, and Jason himself took their drinks.
It was now Kyonto's turn, but as he leaned over to tell his sister what to say, Jason shot into a standing position. He slammed his fist into the table as he shouted at The green and blue haired teen. "Hold it right there, damnit! I've known you since that day in Carlos' lounge- and I have yet to Hear your voice! This is a game that requires you to speak, so your gonna speak!" The two continued to glare at each other in silence, then Jason smirked as he straightened himself, crossing his arms. "Or you can be the little emo bitch of the group."
Kyonto's glared hardened. The silence grew thick as the two's eyes were locked in a staring contest. Just then, Kyonto slowly rose to his feet, his eyes never drifting from Jason's. everyone was tensed, anticipating a fight between the two boys, as Victor pulled out a camera. "I never make friends." Kyonto's voice was very masculine and husky, as if he just laid and he was answering the phone. But it was also dangerous, as his tongue flicked with venomous words. It sent chills down everyone's spine. Everyone except Jason, who ignored the silent threat and crushed Kyonto into a hug.
"Aw! Isn't he cute! I'll be your friend!" Kyonto clawed at Jason to release him from this death grip. When he finally did, Kyonto grumbled something about killing Jason in his sleep, and Ebisu was up.
"I've never been kissed." Ebisu flipped to the next page in her book, before Jason jumped out of his seat again.
"Are you kidding me? Sabrina already did that one!"
"Doesn't matter," she shrugged, "It's something I've never done."
Jason didn't bother arguing. If she was anything like her brother, Jason knew it wouldn't matter. He just took his drink with the others and waited for Kishoku.
"I never wanna die," Kishoku nodded. again the 'boo's returned as Kishoku shrugged. Victor and Jason were the only ones to take a drink, saying that if they never wanted to die, they wouldn't be as amazing as they were. Akira was next.
Akira was drunk- and for someone who never really drank, she was putting them away."I never wanna be apart from Kishoku!" She wrapped her arms around Kishoku and buried her rosy cheeks in his chest. A couple of 'Aw's circled, while Kishoku's face began to heat up. He wished he could enjoy this moment with Akira, but with everyone watching them, it was- A soft sound can from Akira. Is she... Kishoku lifted Akira's chin slightly, to see that she had passed out on him. Laughs came back as they continued on to Risu.
Seeing as Risu couldn't speak, She wrote hers down as Jason explained to the group she couldn't talk. When she was done, she passed it to Patricia, who read, "I've never been to a party like this before." Everyone except Sabrina, Tyler, and Haru took a drink. "Okay my turn!" Patricia thought up a good one, but doubted anyone would drink. "I've never had a threesome." Everything was quiet as Jason slowly took a drink, trying not to get caught as the others looked at one another.
"seriously?" Piper's voice shot out at him. Jason flinched momentarily, before finishing his beer and grabbing a new one.
"No limits, remember." Alexis rolled her eyes.
"Oi! British people, remember!" Jason shot them both a wide-eyed look. Piper sighed in frustration. "Alright let's see," Jason squinted in thought of something funny. but coming up blank, he said the first thing to come to mind. "I never loved any girl, like I loved my sister Clare." those who didn't know Clare- being the wide majority- took a drink. Duke, Piper, and Patricia being the only ones who didn't. Lily felt her eyes water and a frown form. She felt like Jason betrayed her. She was on the brink of tear, when Jason added, "Or my new sister... Lily." Jason and Lily looked at each other. Her piercing blue eyes made her look of happiness all the more comforting for Jason, as she wrapped her arms around him. She giggled into his shoulder as tears of joy fell from her ice blue eyes. Jason looked at the others again and smiled. "Okay, who's turn is it?"
(Ten minutes later)
"I never want to be a zombie."
The group- well, a few of them- were still playing 'I never', and Jason was plastered. Duke managed to sober up a bit, but was still drunk, and Patricia was somewhere in the middle. Jason often complained that the others were really plotting against him, seeing as he had the most empty bottles in front of him. He took another drink, sawing that he used to wish he was a zombie. The others laughed at his ridiculousness as they continued.
(five minutes later)
"Uh... I've never gotten drunk before?" Alexis was unsure of her choice.
"Oh come ON!" Jason finished his beer.
(Twenty minutes later)
"Oh come on! It's only 8pm!- How are you two drunk?" Piper stood over Jason, her hands on her hips.
"Hey! Listen to me, damnit... I'm-I'm not... I'm not drunk, okay?" Jason was laying on the table, a half empty bottle of booze in one hand and a can of monster in the other. He vaguely heard some stumbling and craned his neck, to see Duke trying to make his way over. "Duke? Hey, wassup, buddy?" Jason rolled over, falling off of the table. He used the table to help pull him up and made his way to a DUI worthy Duke. The two crashed into each other, using one another to steady themselves. It was then that Duke swung out, trying to hit whoever pushed him, before realized who it was.
"Oh hey Jason!" Duke smiled at his long-time friend, but a frown soon followed it. "What are you doin' in Alabama?"
"Duke... We're on a roof..." Jason's amber-green eyes were hazy, but you could still make out the condescension.
Duke was quiet for a moment, before looking at the at the floor, then at the area around them, then back at Jason. "Oh yeah!" his smile returned to him.
Jason shook his head, wrapping him right arm around Duke's shoulders. "I love man."
"I love you too, Jas-"
"No! Okay?- shutthefuckup! I love you- No! listen to me, damnit. I love- I said shutthefuckup, okay?- I love you man. I really do." Jason and Duke were hugging now, tears falling down both of their eyes.
"I love you too, bro!" Duke's southern accent made his words come off as sobs more or less.
The others around them watched. Some with bemused laughter, others with slightly disturbed glances. Lily was eating with Victor, watching this touching- yet awkwardly disturbing- moment. She looked up at him, confusion written on her pale skin. "Uncle Victor, is big brother gay?"
Victor laughed, from both joy and from what she asked. Victor had never had a niece before, and when she said it it felt right. He smiled down at the auburn haired girl. "Let us hope not. Otherwise, these good looks will be danger for me." Lily giggled as he flexed his arms, striking different poses.
"Don't worry there, King-Kong," Alexis walked up behind him and leaned over his shoulder, a teasing tone in her voice, "The only thing those looks will do is blind eyesight, not break hearts." The others laughed as she walked away, Victor's eyes on her back as he pouted.
"Ouch, my achin'-" Duke awoke from the late morning sun. He shielded his eyes from the harsh beams of light, as his vision caught sight of a sleeping body next to him. Raven black hair poked out of the blanket as it shined against the sunlight, a light slender arm was resting on it, and soft feminine breathes reached his eyes. Duke instantly knew who it was. Sabrina? His mind demanded that he back away as quickly as possible, but his instincts told him to stay. After much mental deliberation, Duke agreed with his instincts. It was a damn Apocalypse, he needed to be selfish for once! Duke wrapped a muscular arm around the sleeping body, pulling it closer to him, until his body was pressed firmly against it. He shifted his legs into a more comfortable position, and-
"The hell are you pokin' me for?" Jason shot into an upright position.
Duke's face blanched. He quickly fumbled with his belts, pulling out one of his guns. "Relax man, it was just my gun. My navy revolver!"
"yeah, you wish you were as firm and powerful as a navy revolver." Jason countered as he wrapped the blanket firmly around him, before making his way to Lily and the others. Everyone was at the talk eating breakfast, which Kishoku was still cooking. He saw Jason walking towards them and pointed at a coffee maker, seeing as he had a piece of toast in his mouth. Jason nodded his appreciation and made a cup for himself, then went to sit with Lily. the 8 year old smiled as Jason approached her, her mouth full of eggs and bacon. Jason kissed her forehead and smiled back, before sitting down. Duke joined them soon after collecting himself. He threw on a shirt and sat with them. Everyone was quiet as he pour a glass of orange juice, looking back and forth between the two friends. It was an understatement to say things were awkward. Right as Duke was about to speak though, Jason cut him off. "If you mention what just happened, I'll cut your fuckin' dick off. Okay?" Jason smiled at his childhood friend, showing him that he was forgiven, as well as saying don't fucking touch me again.
Duke smiled back at him, nodding," Right."
Returning to the silence, but not for long, as Victor's deep Russian voice verbally raped the air. "Gaaaaay~!" Jason was the first to laugh, followed by Duke, and slowly everyone else. They all returned to their breakfast in relative peace, until a cranky blond ruined it.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP! Even at a time like this- there's no fucking peace and quiet? Damnit!" Everyone turned to see Patricia in nothing but her panties, before turning away and giving her multiple comments and putting her clothes on- to which she replied, "I didn't sleep with clothes on before this shit- like hell I'll start!"
Jason was the only one not to turn away. Instead he smiled at her, tossing her his jacket to cover herself. "Morning, Trish!"
"Morning, J." Patricia came up to Lily and glared at her. "Move." Though her tone was threatening, and she scared Lily to death, the little red head turned away from her. Patricia was taken back by this, as the little girl stood- sat- her ground. Patricia huffed and looked at Jason, patting his lap, offering her a seat. She rolled her eyes, a small smile playing at her lips, as she took to sitting on his lap. She gave him a quick peck on the nose in thanks as he offered her his coffee. Everyone watched, some bug-eyed, and others like they were lost and confused. The two looked at Kai, who shot them a look that asked what was on everyone's mind: Are you two...?
"Exes." the two answered in union.
The table of teens erupted with outbursts, mostly from Piper. Jason had to explain that they dated for a bit, back before Piper started dating Grey. They split up after a... 'failed experiment', To which Patricia began to blush. "What's wrong, Jason? Couldn't get it up?" Alexis cooed teasingly, earning laughs from a couple of the guys.
"No, no, that wasn't the problem, it just didn't happen." Jason quickly answered, knowing his manhood was on the line of that question. Patricia's face was getting redder and redder, until she couldn't take it anymore.
"I WAS SCARED, OKAY?- CAN WE MOVE ON, PLEASE?" Everyone laughed at Patricia's outburst. Everyone, but Sarina, who sighed in relief.
Kishoku walked to the table, carrying a tray of more food. He told the others that this was there wasn't much here to work with. Jason told him that he would go back to the Sam's Club and get the carts of food they stashed in the truck. Duke also mentioned that the cars weren't too far away, and that the hummer still had all the food Jason packed in the day this all started. As the eighteen teenagers ate their meal, Jason recollect the talks he had with some of them last night...
(flashback: Talk with Kishoku)
Jason sobered up somewhat and was cleaning his guns, when he heard a commotion behind him. He turned around to see Duke, and Victor trying to pull Kishoku off of Haru. Immediately he shot out of his seat and ran into the thick of the fight, grabbing Kishoku by the neck, cutting off his breathe, and slamming him against a wall. Kishoku coughed, sucking in a deep breath of air as he tried to regain his lost breathe. "What's going on guys?" Jason smiled sweetly at the brunette in his grip, "Seem to be having a lot of fun without me. Someone fill me in!"
Lily spoke up, before any of the others had a chance. "Haru and me were playing hide-n-seek, and It was my turn to find Haru. And when I found him, he ran away from me, so I couldn't tag him! And when I tagged him, he tripped and-"
"HE HIT AKIRA!" Kishoku yelled in Jason's ear, trying to pull Jason's hand away from his throat, only to have him tighten his grip.
"No interrupting the kid's story," Jason shot him a condescending look, before returning to Lily, "And then?"
"And then Haru tripped and crashed into Akira!" Lily finished her speech.
"That true?" Jason looked at Haru, who's face was bloodied and bruised.
"More or less. I tripped," Haru shot Patricia a glare, who simple looked away and sipped her beer, "and ran into her. I tried saying sorry, but this guy punched my, before I could get a word out."
Jason nodded in thought, then looked at Kishoku. "you get all that?" Kishoku grunted in response, seeing as the lack of air was getting to him. Jason released his grip on him, dropping Kishoku to his knees as he coughed erratically. He took in long deep breathes, trying to compose himself. "Say your sorry." Jason's voice told him.
"What?" the brunette shot him a glare, but flinched at the look he was given.
Jason was smiling at him. No form of malice or anger in his eyes or features. Just carefree bliss. "You read things wrong and beat an innocent man. Say your sorry."
Kishoku didn't like that he was being told what to do, but he knew it was the right thing to do. He stood up and walked over to Haru. Haru was shaking with slight fear, constantly wondering if Kishoku was gonna take another swing at him anyways. He saw his arm lift, he closed his eyes and flinched uncontrollably, earning a couple chuckles. When he opened his eyes, Kishoku had his hand stretched out and was looking away. "I'm... I'm sorry I-"
"*cough* Whoopedthatass! *cough*" Kai patted his chest, adding to the effect of his cough, earning more chuckles
Kishoku rolled his eyes as he finally finished. "I'm sorry I hurt you."
"It's no problem. Happens all the time!" Haru shook his hand and smiled at the brunette, "But I'm glad he apologized."
After everything was taken care of, Jason returned to his guns. A little while later, Piper took a seat in front of him. Jason looked up a bit and smiled quickly at her, before returning his attention to his guns. "Are you ever going to talk to me about it?" Piper's concern danced on her tongue as her accent made her words sound more urgent than they should.
"About?"
"Clare."
Jason froze. He put down his guns and looked Piper in the eye, but then looked up at the approaching person. Piper turned around to see Kishoku standing there. "Um, I could come back later." Kishoku took a small step back.
"No it's fine, me and Piper can talk later." Jason gave him a reassuring smile, then looked at Piper, "We will. I promise." Piper stared into his amber-green eyes, before sighing in defeat and leaving. Jason grabbed his guns and began cleaning them again as Kishoku took a seat. "So what did you want to talk about?"
"Look, about what happened-"
"Kishoku, do I look like I care?" Jason put down his guns and looked at the brunette in front of him, "Do I look like the kind of person who ant someone to leave the group over one misunderstanding?"
"But-"
"Dude, you hit someone you thought hurt your friend, I get that." Jason deadpanned, shrugging a if it was nothing. "It's not like I've never done it. Besides, Haru forgave you, so really the only person who wants you to leave is you!"
"How did you...?" Kishoku was confused out of his mind. He was sure, Jason wasn't around when he made his verdict.
"Because you look like one of those guys who feels he has to protect someone every minute of the day. Like you have to make sure they're still breathing when you wake up, and that if any harm were to come to them, you'd kill it. You just want to protect Akira, right?" Kishoku dropped his head in shame. "Do you really think you can protect her better than the other fifteen will?"
Kishoku shook his head, "I guess your right."
"Please, there's no guessing- I am right!" Jason grinned widely. Kishoku rolled his eyes and returned to Akira. He whispered to her and her eyes got bright. She looked at Jason with sparkles in her eyes, mouthing her thanks. Jason just shrugged and returned to his guns.
(Talk with Alexis)
"Yo!"
Jason looked behind him to see Alexis walking up to him, carrying two beers. He gave her a smile, inviting her to sit with him. "Hey there!" They sat on the edge of the roof, their feet dangling off the roof and they drank. "So what brings you to my corner?"
"Oh nothing, just saw you being all emo and whatnot. Thought I'd brighten it up a bit." Alexis sarcasm was part way real., but she soon got serious. "I need to talk to you."
"Sure, why not? It's not like everyone hasn't already." Jason's sarcasm was completely on. Everyone came up to him and wanted to talk, it was like there were taking turns.
"Yeah well, my turn. Look I don't do well in group, okay? I'd rather be on my own than depend on others to have my back." Alexis glared at her drink as she spoke. "You and your friends seem close and all that, and-"
"Why did you help me?" Jason interrupted her.
"What?" Alexis was caught off guard by the question.
"Why," Jason enunciated, "Did you help me? Earlier, when we ere fighting that horde of freaks. There were times that I could have died, from a gun jam, or reloading, and trying to save a friend. But I didn't. It was you whole shot that zombie when my gun first jammed, wasn't it?" Alexis' blush was concealed by the dark of the night, as she took another drink. "Why did-"
You know you should just be grateful I did!" She stood up as she shouted, but keeping it low enough that the others wouldn't here, "I didn't have to help! I could've let you all died- but I didn't! Because-"
"Because why?" Jason's voice was calm as he drank his beer.
"Because...! I-I don't know, because-"
"Because you wanted to have someone to talk to?" Jason raised an eyebrow. He stood but, standing a good five inches taller than her, "Because you were lonely?" Jason smirked, taking a small step closer to Alexis, her blush getting thicker. "Because you wanted a friend?"
Alexis fought away the blush and glared at Jason. "You know your a real ass."
He laughed and took a big step back, being careful of the ledge. "What can I say, I've been called worse? Look You saved me- saved us- because you were lonely, and wanted someone to watch your back, right? Well here we are! Are you really gonna let us slip by?" Jason looked down at her chest, staring at it for a good two minutes, before Alexis' fist crashed into his jaw.
"WHAT THE FUCK?" Alexis didn't bother controlling her voice this time.
When Jason recovered from the attack, he answered, "What? I can't have you going soft on me!"
"OI! If you two are done with lovy-dovy, come sing song with us!" Victor bellowed. Jason's eyes lit up like a kid on Christmas, as he dragged Alexis over to the others. Victor, Haru, and Duke were waiting for them. When they arrived Victor explained what was gonna happen. "Okay, we sing VODKA song!" He then received odd looks from everyone, but Jason, who surprisingly knew the VODKA song. Victor explained it for the others anyways. "Basically, you make something up for vodka, then you sing like BINGO. OKAY WE START!"
