They walked for a few more hours, with Jeff and Phil managing to raid a house they found along the way. After managing to find a clear spot in the woods, they set up camp for the night. Jeff sat on a log and watched everyone apprehensively. Phil sat by him and looked where Jeff was looking. "What'cha thinking about? You look like you're brooding."

"This is a lot of people to drag around," said Jeff.

"Well, I know Amy can pull her own weight, and I'm pretty sure Hunter can too," said Phil. "Haven't really seen Eve do anything, but she's really sweet."

"Sweet gets you killed, that's the biggest Achilles' heel you can have," said Jeff. "Brad is useless, and AJ is just really awkward to be around."

Phil smirked. "How many times has did she hit on you today?"

"Too many," said Jeff.

Phil chuckled. "That would be my fault, I told her to go talk to you when she was talking to me."

"Yeah, she told me you sent her," said Jeff. "I was deciding whether or not to kill you for it."

Phil chuckled. "Well I'm glad you decided not to."

Jeff smirked at him. "You're just lucky you're the only other gay guy in this group. I'm going to bed."

"So," said Phil as Jeff got up. "Does that mean I should come too or-"

"If you want to get laid it does," said Jeff, walking into his tent.

Phil immediately followed him and shut the tent.

AJ sat next to Amy with a grin as they guarded the camp for the night. "Soooo how's it goin?"

"It's going fine, AJ," said Amy.

AJ waited for a few second before responding. "I'm fine too."

Amy sighed. "AJ, I feel like this will go a lot better if you don't talk."

"But I haven't seen you in fffoooorrrreeeevvvveeeerrrr," said AJ. "We have so much to catch up on! Like, Jeff shot a zombie from the trees and then jumped down like a ninja, and then Jeff took us to a camp, and them Phil fucked Jeff, and then-"

"Hold on," said Amy, looking at AJ completely bewildered. "Phil fucked Jeff, as in sex?"

"Yeah," said AJ, nodding. "And then-"

"Jeff is gay?" Said Amy.

"Well, technically Jeff is bi," said AJ.

"Ah," said Amy. "And him and Phil are dating?"

"Well, Phil always says they're not but I know he likes Jeff," said AJ. "He's very protective of him."

"Huh," said Amy, looking at Phil and Jeff's tent. "That, is, interesting."

Amy let AJ blab on for the rest of the night, only saying about five words herself.

Phil looked at Jeff's lithe body on the other side of the tent and sighed softly. "Jeff, why don't you like to cuddle?"

"I just don't," said Jeff. "Why do you always have to complain? Other guys would be ecstatic that I let them fuck me and they didn't have to cuddle me afterwards."

"I just don't want you to feel like a sex toy," said Phil, turning towards him. "You're more than that."

Jeff groaned and faced him. "Phil, how many times do I have to tell you, all we have is sex."

"I get that," said Phil. "But that doesn't mean that's all your worth."

"Why do you want to cuddle me so bad?" Said Jeff. "It is not that exciting a thing to do."

Phil smirked and yanked Jeff closer, wrapping his arms tightly around him. "Is so. See how nicely we fit together?"

Jeff tried to push away but Phil kept his grip strong. "Let me fucking go!"

"No, I don't think I will," said Phil, burying his face in the crook of Jeff's neck. "I am going to show you affection and you are going to like it."

Jeff glared heatedly. "I mean it, Phil. There is no affection here."

"Why no affection?" Said Phil, letting Jeff go.

Jeff immediately moved away from him and turned the other way. "Because if you start getting affectionate you get attached. There's no affection, or feelings, or anything. Just. Sex. If someone turned into a zombie, you'd have to be able to kill then at the drop of a hat, and you can't do that if you're attached to them."

Phil sighed again and laid on his back, deciding not to push it any further.

The next morning, Hunter was struggling to get a fire started.

"Why are we starting a fire?" Said Jeff. "We should be moving camp by now."

"Because we need to regroup and make sure we actually know what we're doing before we go anywhere and get ourselves killed," said Hunter, groaning when he once again failed to make a fire.

"If it's that hard I can go siphon gas out of that car we passed by," said Jeff. "That'll make it easier."

"You know how to siphon gas?" Said Phil.

Jeff nodded. "I know how to hotwire too, but I figured we wouldn't need a car if we were walking through the forest."

"How do you know how to do all that?" Said Phil.

"I told you I had a lot of part-time jobs before this," said Jeff. "I'm not proud of all of them."

"You stole cars?" Said Amy, with a smirk. "That's bad ass."

"Yeah," said AJ, fluttering her eyelashes at him. "Sooooo bad ass."

Brad huffed and crossed his arms. "I could steal cars if I wanted to, I just never wanted to cause I'm not a criminal."

Phil smirked. Brad and AJ had started arguing while they were walking earlier over her flirting with Jeff and his jealousy. Jeff was definitely the apple of discord in their relationship.

Jeff shrugged. "I didn't steal them for myself, I got them for other people."

"Why?" Asked Eve.

"I needed the money," said Jeff. "It was the only job I could get at the time. Job offers weren't exactly a dime a dozen for someone like me."

"You have so many tricks up your sleeve," said Phil. "Is there any skill you haven't mastered yet."

"Well, I'm not much of a knitter," said Jeff, getting the group to laugh.

"Well, gas would be great," said Hunter, giving up on the fire for now.

"I'll go get some," said Jeff, grabbing a container from his box of supplies and walking towards the car.

"I'll watch your back," said Phil, following him. They walked for around ten minutes before they found a station wagon on the edge of the forest.

Phil smirked, when Jeff leant down to siphon gas out of the car. If Jeff wanted no feelings, he would give it it him.

Jeff squealed when someone picked him up and slammed him down on the car. "Phil!"

"I'm horny," said Phil, pinning Jeff's shoulders down and kissing his neck.

Jeff kicked Phil off and he fell to the ground. He got off the car and stomped away with a glare. "Fuck off!"

Phil smirked and got up, following after him. "Is that not what you want? Pure sex, no feelings?"

"You have no idea what I want!" Said Jeff, sitting down on a fallen tree and crossing his arms with a huff. "You don't know me!"

"So, let's talk about you, then," said Phil, getting a much softer tone and sitting down next to Jeff. "What makes Jeff, Jeff? I'm all ears."

Jeff scoffed. "Go suck a dick."

"Well, this is going well so far," said Phil. "You would think after saving your life you wouldn't be as much of a bitch to me."

"You really wanna know who I was before all of this?" said Jeff, glaring at him with blatant distress on his face. "I was nothing. I had nothing."

Phil staid silent and just listened while Jeff began to open up.

"I didn't have parents, I didn't have loved ones, or friends," said Jeff. "I was living off of a bunch of stupid part-time jobs and a shit apartment just to survive."

Phil bit his lip and twiddled with his thumbs. "Where was your family?"

"Hell if I know," said Jeff, looking down somberly at his feet. "I was in foster care at five, and I ran away from it at fifteen."

"You've been on your own since fifteen?" Said Phil, looking over at him.

"Yeah," said Jeff, softly. He looked up at Phil. "I was happier alone. There was no one who had to pretend to care about me."

Phil put his hand over Jeff's, giving it a small squeeze. "Not everyone is just pretending to care about you, Jeff. Some actually do."

Jeff pulled his hand back and looked away. "Yeah, whatever."

Phil sighed a little, figuring that's as much as Jeff was gonna open up to today. "Come on, let's get the gas and get back to camp before Hunter blows a gasket."

Jeff laughed a little and followed Phil back to the car. Phil watched Jeff suck the gas out of the car and bit his lip. "You're pretty good at sucking things."

"I'm not sucking your dick," said Jeff, getting the gas in his container.

"Aww come on," said Phil. "Why not?"

"That's gross," said Jeff. "That thing has been inside me."

Phil smirked. "It'll taste fine."

"No," said Jeff, getting up and starting to walk back to camp. "Nothing goes in my mouth but your tongue."

Phil sighed dramatically and followed him. "Alright, but that is a bitter pill to swallow, so no more sucking gas around me, that's just teasing."

Jeff laughed and smirked at him. "Don't watch."

When they got back to camp, Jeff poured a little gasoline on the fire and Hunter very carefully managed to start it. Phil sat down next to Brad when he saw AJ yet again hanging off of Jeff. "Don't worry Brad, she's barking up the wrong tree. You don't have anything to be jealous about."

"I'm not jealous," said Brad, crossing his arms with a defensive tone. "What would make you think I'm jealous?"

"If looks could kill, Jeff would be dead right now," said Phil.

Brad sighed and looked back at Jeff. "He can do so much stuff that I can't."

"So what?" Said Phil. "You're still the one AJ sleeps with, not him."

Brad smirked a little. "Point taken, but I could do without her kissing the ground he walks on."

"Well, how about I distract Jeff for a little while, and you go CALMLY explain to AJ why you're jealous," said Phil, getting up and walking up to Jeff. "Hey, Jeff, I need your help with something in the tent."

Jeff looked away from AJ and smirked, mouthing 'thank you' before following him into the tent.

Eve looked confused as Jeff and Phil went in the tent. "What does Phil need help with in the tent?"

Amy chuckled and ruffled Eve's hair. "Oh Eve, you're so innocent."

Eve thought about it for a few more moments before it finally clicked and her eyes widened. "Ohhhhh."

"Hey, AJ," said Brad, grabbing her hand and pulling her to the edge of the camp so they could talk in private. "I know I've been, well, a basket case about Jeff and stuff, but I just really like you, and seeing you drooling all over him, makes me jealous."

AJ smiled softly. "You don't have to be jealous, Brad. Jeff is awesome and all, but you know what you have that he doesn't?"

"What?" Said Brad.

"He's not you," said AJ, standing in her tip toes to kiss Brad. "And that's all that matters."

Brad smirked. "Well, I would invite you back to my tent, but I think two couples having sex at the same time would just be awkward."

AJ laughed and they walked back into camp, sitting down with everyone around the fire.
