Jeff climbed out of the bed and started pulling his clothes back on. Phil looked at him and sighed softly. "Jeff, come snuggle."

Jeff looked back at him with his brows furrowed. "What?"

Phil held his arms out. "C'mere."

"No," said Jeff, turning back around and pulling his shirt on. "I don't snuggle. Get your clothes on we have to find everyone."

"Is this all we're gonna be Jeff?" Said Phil, getting out of bed and pulling his clothes on. "Fuck buddies?"

Jeff rolled his eyes and put his weapons back on. "I've told you this is all we're gonna be several times now."

"Why?" Said Phil. "Why are you so stuck on just having sex?"

"It's the end of the world, Phil," said Jeff. "It's not the time to have a relationship. We can't get emotionally involved with each other."

"But-"

"No buts," said Jeff, starting to leave. "Now let's go."

Phil bit his lip and then grabbed Jeff's wrist to stop him. "Stay here."

"What?" Said Jeff.

"Stay here, with me," said Phil.

"Did you lose your mind on the way here?" Said Jeff.

"I'm serious," said Phil. "We're safe here, we have food, and shelter, and a bed."

"We can't abandon the group," said Jeff, glaring at him.

"It's not like they're looking for us," said Phil.

"How do you know that?" Said Jeff. "They could be out searching for us right now."

"Hunter hates us. They're not looking for us, I guarantee you," said Phil.

Jeff looked down with somber face but then shook it off, "Whatever, they're looking for us, and we need to go find them."

"Give it three days," said Phil, stepping in front of Jeff when he tried to leave again. "If they're looking for us, they'll find us by then. And if you still want to leave, we'll leave and if not, we'll stay here."

Jeff took a long breath and set his weapons down. "Three days."

Phil grinned and hugged him. Jeff immediately pulled away and walked downstairs. "Don't hug me."

Phil smirked and followed him. "Whatcha doin?"

"I'm hungry," said Jeff, grabbing a can of food from the pantry.

"Wow, real food," said Phil, as they sat at the table. Jeff opened the can with his katana and they started eating out of the can with spoons they found in the cupboards.

"We're sharing food," said Phil. "This has to be considered a second date."

Jeff smirked. "It is not."

Phil smirked back and grabbed Jeff's free hand, interlacing their fingers. "Is now."

Jeff smiled softly when Phil leaned in and kissed him. "I have to say, you've stepped your game up quite a bit since the last one. We've gone from a tree stump to a Victorian dining table."

Phil chuckled. "Anything for you baby."

Meanwhile, the rest of the group continued walking at night. AJ cuddled up to Brad with a worried look on her face, while the rest of them were looking around frantically whenever they heard a noise.

"Hunter," said Eve. "I really think we should stop somewhere."

"There's no where to stop," said Hunter. "We have to find a house."

"I hope Jeff and Phil are ok," said AJ, looking back where they came from.

"They're fine," said Hunter. "Jeff was born for this kind of world."

"But it's dark out and they're all alone," said AJ. "And we abandoned them."

"We did not abandon them," said Hunter, turning to look at her. "They ran off in the other direction."

"Maybe they couldn't get to us," said AJ. "And then they made it out and looked for us but we weren't there cause we abandoned them."

"I'm worried about them too," said Eve, softly.

Hunter took a deep breath. "We will rest right here for the night, and then in the morning we'll go look for them, alright?"

AJ grinned. "Ok!"

"We have to walk all the way back there?" Groaned Amy. "Doesn't that make this whole day pointless?"

"We have to save them!" Said AJ. "If we left you behind wouldn't you want us to come back."

"I seriously doubt they need saving," said Amy. "If anything when we get back there they're gonna be the ones saving us."

"Well it doesn't matter cause we're going back there to look for them," said AJ, crossing her arms.

Amy sighed and sat down. "Whatever."

Everyone started sitting down and took shifts guarding throughout the night, having to try and sleep on the solid ground.

"Ah," said AJ, smiling as she laid down on the ground. "No more walking."

"We'll be doing plenty more walking tomorrow," said Hunter. "Get your resting in now."

"Well," said AJ, with a grin. "This seems like the perfect time to get to know each other."

"No it doesn't," said Amy.

"Don't be a grumpy Gus," said AJ. "What'd you use to do before this?"

Amy shrugged. "I worked at a Hot Topic."

AJ gasped. "Me too!"

"I was a Hollister model," said Brad.

"I'm not surprised," said Amy.

"What about you, Eve?" Asked AJ.

"Oh, um, I was just a sales associate at Sears," said Eve.

AJ looked at Hunter and he sighed. "I worked at a gym."

"Again, not surprised," said Amy.

Hunter smirked and flexed a bicep, getting the group to laugh.

When Jeff and Phil were done eating, they sat on the couch and stared at the blank TV.

"I never thought I'd miss cat videos," said Jeff.

"I never thought I'd miss TMZ," said Phil.

"I never thought I'd miss alcohol," said Jeff.

"I definitely don't miss alcohol," said Phil.

"No?" Said Jeff, looking over at him.

"Nope, " said Phil. "Never touched that nasty stuff. And how do you miss alcohol? Didn't you just turn 21?"

"You say that like I have followed a single rule my whole life," said Jeff, making Phil laugh.

"You've got a point there," said Phil.

"I had older friends, and when they came over they always brought alcohol," said Jeff.

"When did you first start drinking?" Said Phil.

"When I was sixteen, I think," said Jeff.

"Did you smoke?" Said Phil.

"Sometimes," said Jeff. "I think I've done just about any bad thing a person can do at least once."

Phil got a small smirk. "I'm not even gonna ask if you did drugs."

"You don't want to know the answer," said Jeff with a chuckle. He then sighed, pulling his legs in and resting his chin on his knees. "I wish electricity was still a thing. This TV is teasing me."

"Use your imagination," said Phil, putting his arm around Jeff.

"I don't have an imagination," said Jeff, shrugging his arm off.

"Well, what did you use to watch?" Said Phil.

"Whatever was on in the stores I worked at," said Jeff. "I didn't have a TV."

"Oh," said Phil. "What was your favorite thing that came on?"

"I guess the soccer games," said Jeff.

"You like soccer?" Said Phil.

Jeff nodded. "I used to play it."

"Did you steal cars to drive to your games?" Said Phil with a smirk.

Jeff smirked back at him. "Shut up."

Phil chuckled. "Who'd you steal cars for anyway?"

"A biker gang," said Jeff.

"You stole cars for a biker gang?" Said Phil, raising a brow.

"Yeah, I never asked why they needed them, I just did what I was told," said Jeff.

"Why'd you stop?" Said Phil.

"Well, I was twenty at the time, and the guys were all around forty, and they started getting a little touchy," said Jeff, looking down. He almost shuddering thinking about it. Over time the biker gang got increasingly friendly. It started innocently enough with just cat calls every now and then, but once they started getting physical it was just too much.

"Oh," said Phil. "I'm sorry."

Jeff shrugged. "I'm kinda glad the apocalypse happened. When I quit on them, they said they'd come after me."

"You know, for someone who had the most fucked up child and teenhood ever, you turned out really well," said Phil.

Jeff chuckled. "I was a criminal, that's hardly turning out well."

"You did what you had to do," said Phil, giving Jeff's hand a small squeeze. "And you stopped it. You're a good person."

Jeff looked down and shook his head. "I hurt people, Phil. I stole cars when it was all those people had. I am not a good person."

"That's not you anymore," said Phil, grabbing Jeff's chin to make him look at him. "We all have pasts we're not proud of. It doesn't make you any less of a good person. I told you before that you're incredible and I meant it. What you've done doesn't matter, it's who you are now that does."

When Jeff still looked unsure, Phil sighed. "Do you believe everything happens for a reason?"

Jeff shrugged. "Maybe."

"Well, this apocalypse is a fresh start for you," said Phil. "It's a chance for you to build the life you want, and the person you want to be."

Jeff looked up at him. "Are you saying the whole world ended so I can redeem myself? Cause that's a lot of pressure."

Phil chuckled. "Something like that." He put his arm around Jeff again and this time Jeff leaned into it for a few seconds with a small sigh before getting up. "I'm going to bed."

"Me too," said Phil, following after him.

Jeff walked upstairs and laid down in the bed. Phil smirked when he walked in the room. "You know, you'd probably be more comfortable without your jeans on."

Jeff smirked back. "Then take them off."

Phil climbed over him and kissed him, laying down on top of him. Jeff moaned and locked his arms over Phil's shoulders. Phil slid his hands down Jeff's sides as he moved to kiss his neck. Jeff moved his hands down to Phil's pants but Phil moved them. "Patience," said Phil, pinning Jeff's hands above his head.

He smirked when he continued kissing Jeff's neck and Jeff squirmed underneath him. "Phhhiiillll."

"What do you want, baby?" Said Phil.

Jeff just moaned when Phil ground against him. "You know what I want."

"You want me to fuck you, baby?" Said Phil, bringing his mouth to Jeff's ear.

"Yes," said Jeff, with a whine.

"Are you gonna let me cuddle with you afterwards?" Said Phil.

"Yes," said Jeff.

"Promise?" Said Phil.

"Yes just fuck me!" Said Jeff.

Phil smirked. "With pleasure." He let Jeff's hands go and pulled off Jeff's shirt, before pulling off his own. Jeff pulled his face back down and kissed him for a few seconds before undoing his pants.

AJ laid beside Brad on the ground and sighed. "Are you sure Jeff and Phil are ok? I'm really worried about them."

"They're fine, AJ," said Brad. "If I know Jeff and Phil they're off somewhere fucking like bunnies."

AJ laughed and Brad smirked. "What we really need to worry about is getting a damn tent. Sleeping on the ground is not ok."

"Yeah," said AJ, squirming to get more comfortable. "I feel bad about leaving them, though."

"We're going back for them," said Brad.

"But they don't know that," said AJ. "What if they're all sad in the woods and crying cause they think we're gone forever."

"Babe they're fine," said Brad, putting his arms around her. "Now get some rest."

AJ sighed and snuggled into him. "Ok."

"Ack!" Said Eve, shaking her hand. "I put my hand in mud."

Amy smirked over at her. "Don't shun the mud, embrace it."

Eve smirked and tossed some at Amy, making her gasp. "You embrace it."

"Oh it's on now," said Amy, tackling Eve into the mud.

"Hey!" Said Hunter as they started shrieking and giggling. "You are being really loud."

"Sorry," they both said, crawling out of the mud.

Hunter shook his head and grumbled to himself. "Women."

Amy smirked and grabbed a pile of mud, sticking it in the back of Hunter's shirt. Hunter squealed when the cold substance ran down his back and everyone laughed. He glared at Amy. "That is NOT funny!"

"Is so," said Amy. "You scream like a girl."

"No I don't," said Hunter, crossing his arms. "Now quit screwing around. You're supposed to be guarding with me."

"Alright alright," said Amy, getting up and grabbing her gun.

A little while later Phil laid panting on top of Jeff before rolling off and cuddling him. Jeff tried to pull away but Phil tightened his grip. "No, you promised."

"But," said Jeff, trying to push away. "I don't like cuddling."

"I do, and you promised, so too bad," said Phil, keeping Jeff tight in his arms and kissing his forehead.

Jeff groaned and leant his face against Phil's chest. "Wwwhhhyyyy?"

"Just accept it," said Phil with a smirk as he felt Jeff relax in his arms. He gave Jeff a quick peck on the lips before burying his face in Jeff's hair. Phil smiled when he felt Jeff snuggle into him, even wrapping his arms over his shoulders.

"We fit together so nicely," said Phil.

"Don't push it," said Jeff, making Phil chuckle.

Phil rested his forehead against Jeff's. "Jeff how do you feel?"

Jeff just opened his eyes and looked at Phil. Not a word passed between them but Phil knew what Jeff wanted to say. He could see the want for affection in Jeff's eyes but there was so much reluctance and fear clouding it over.

"I'm never gonna leave you, Jeff," said Phil, pecking his lips. "You don't have to be afraid."

"I'm not afr-"

"Yes you are," said Phil. "We all have fears, that's what makes us human."

Jeff smiled softly. "You're never gonna give up on this, huh?"

"Not a chance," said Phil, snuggling into him again. He ran his fingers through Jeff's hair while Jeff closed his eyes again. "Have you ever been in a relationship?"

"Just one," said Jeff.

"How long were you guys together?" Asked Phil.

"A couple years," said Jeff. "He was my drug dealer, and he started turning into a major dick. I wanted to get off drugs but he kept bringing them to me to try and get me to stay with him so I broke it off."

Phil stroked his hair. "You've had a really rough life, you know that?"

Jeff chuckled and buried his face in Phil's neck. "Tell me about it."

Phil smiled softly and wrapped his arms tighter around Jeff. There was one thing Phil worried about with Jeff, though. Jeff was just starting his twenties, and Phil was nearing his thirties. Those were two very different points in a person's life. How much did they really have in common outside of sex?
