Phil had taken a nap to cool off from arguing with Jeff. When he woke up a few hours later, he furrowed his brows when he felt something soft against his face. Phil opened his eyes and sighed softly, seeing Jeff cuddled up against him. He wrapped his arms around Jeff and kissed his cheek softly before getting out of bed.
Phil walked downstairs and furrowed his brows seeing a huge pile of crumpled up paper in the corner. He slowly started to smile when he picked one up and found it was a drawing. Phil had no idea what it was a drawing of, but it was a drawing.
"Those are crumpled up for a reason," said Jeff with an annoyed tone, walking down the stairs.
Phil looked over at him. "What's this drawing of?"
"None of your damn business," said Jeff, taking the paper and tossing it back on the floor.
"Someone is grumpy," said Phil, as Jeff walked into the kitchen.
"I'm hungry," said Jeff, taking out a can of food.
Phil walked over to him and looked at the can. "How are we gonna open this now?"
"I don't know you figure it out, you're the bitch who lost my sword," grumbled Jeff, sitting at the counter with a pout.
Phil smirked and grabbed a knife out of one of the drawers. "I'll take you shopping to buy a new one."
Jeff tried to repress it, but got a small smirk before shaking his head. "I hate you."
"I like you too," said Phil, winking at him before jabbing the knife into the can.
They ate the can of food and then sat on the couch for a little while, with Phil running his hands through Jeff's hair. Phil looked over at him when he heard Jeff sigh softly. "What's wrong?"
"They're not looking for us, are they?" Said Jeff, looking out the window.
Phil got a frown as he looked at Jeff. He looked genuinely sad. "Jeff, don't worry about them."
Jeff just laid his head on Phil's shoulder with another sigh.
Phil wrapped an arm around him and kissed his cheek. "We can really stay here, you know? Whenever we run out of food we've got all the other houses. We can live here."
"Why do you want to be with me?" Said Jeff.
"Because, you're you," said Phil, running his thumb over Jeff's cheek.
Jeff got a small smirk and pecked Phil's lips. "That was such a line."
"Did it work?" Said Phil, moaning against Jeff's lips.
"Maybe," said Jeff. "Why don't you find out?"
"Don't have to tell me twice," said Phil, picking Jeff up bridal style and carrying him to the bed.
He laid Jeff down on the bed and they made out for several minutes. As soon as he slipped his hands under Jeff's shirt, they heard noise coming from downstairs. Jeff moved away from Phil and they looked towards the stairs. "Did you hear that?"
"Yeah," said Phil. They were silent for a few seconds before hearing the cupboards open and the cans rattling. Jeff immediately got up and grabbed his crossbow, but Phil stopped him from leaving the room.
"Let me go first," said Phil.
"Why?" Said Jeff.
"You can, sometimes, come on a little... Strong," said Phil.
Jeff crossed his arms. "What?"
"Oh don't act offended you know it's true," said Phil.
Jeff sighed. "Fine. Go. I see how it is."
Phil just smirked and shook his head, heading downstairs. He saw a very, very blonde guy digging through the food cans. Phil crossed his arms. "Can I help you find something?"
The man immediately backed up from the cans and pulled out a gun.
"Woah!" Said Phil, putting his hands up. "Just calm down, I'm not going to hurt you."
"No you, you're one of them," said the man, his hand shaking with the gun.
"One of who?" Said Phil, taking a step toward him.
"Stay back!" Said the man. "I'll shoot!"
Jeff heard the yelling and immediately came downstairs with crossbow in hand.
"It's ok," said Phil. "Just put, the gun, down."
Jeff saw the man holding the gun at Phil and immediately raised his crossbow. "Hey!"
The man got startled and immediately pulled the trigger.
"No!" Yelled Phil, as Jeff fell to the ground clutching his shoulder.
The man dropped the gun and stared wide eyed for a few seconds, before bolting away. Phil immediately dropped to the ground and pulled Jeff into his arms. "No no no no no."
"Phil..." Said Jeff, tears running down his face. "It hurts."
"You're ok, you have to be ok," said Phil, pulling Jeff closer and stroking his hair. "You have, to be, ok." He held him there for a few more moments before getting up and carrying Jeff upstairs. Phil quickly laid him down in the bed and ran into the bathroom. He pulled the drawers open and grabbed all the bandages he could find. Phil ran back over to Jeff and pulled his shirt off. Luckily, the bullet had hit in the shoulder instead of the chest.
Jeff grimaced when Phil moved his arm. "Stop!"
"You'll thank me later," said Phil, taking the bandages and wrapping up the wound. He bit his lip and tried to just tune out Jeff's cries and whimpers for him to stop. As soon as Phil finished he tossed the gauze aside and climbed in the bed, pulling Jeff against himself. He stroked Jeff's hair and kissed his forehead. "You're gonna be ok."
Jeff mustered a weak chuckle and managed a sentence in between groans. "Who ya, trying, to convince here? Me, or you?"
Phil just kissed his lips and nuzzled into his hair. "You're going, to be, ok."
AJ continued leading the group along the edge of the woods, continually looking for Phil and Jeff. Amy had managed to catch a deer they all shared, but they were still hungry.
Brad was panting softly behind her, before he sat down. "I... I need, a break."
Hunter furrowed his brows at Brad. "Are you ok? You look pale."
"Yeah, fine," said Brad, running his hands over his face.
Amy narrowed her eyes and grabbed his hand, looking at the cut. "This isn't a cut, this is a bite!"
The group looked on in horror as Brad stood up. "No! It just scratched me I swear!"
"Then why is it all swollen?!" Said Amy.
"It probably just got infected is all, I didn't have anything to bandage it with!" Said Brad.
"If he says it's a scratch it's a scratch," said AJ, standing in front of Brad.
Hunter took a deep breath and ran a hand over his mouth. "We are starving, exhausted, traveling with a ticking time bomb, and we're hopelessly looking for two people who are probably already dead or zombies themselves!"
AJ gasped. "Hunter!"
"Well sorry to crush your spirit AJ but it's the truth," said Hunter. He was silent for a few seconds before sighing. "We've been at this too long, we're moving on."
"No!" Said AJ. "We're so close to finding them, I can feel it."
"Well then you and your infected little boyfriend can stay here, we're leaving," said Hunter.
Just a second later they heard a shot rang. They all looked over from where they heard the shot. "What was that?" Said Eve.
"A gun," said Amy.
"Phil!" Said AJ, running off in that direction.
"AJ!" Said Brad, chasing after her as best as he could. "You have no idea what's over there!"
Amy sighed and started walking after them, followed by Eve and Hunter. They walked just a little ways and saw a gated neighborhood. Unfortunately, the zombies heard the gun shot as well, and were slowly migrating into the neighborhood as the gate was open.
"They're in there," said AJ, turning to Hunter. "I know it."
"If they're in there, they're staying in there," said Hunter. "There is no way we're getting past those zombies."
Amy scanned the area and her face fell when she caught an object shining out of the corner of her eye. She gently nudged Hunter with her elbow. "Hunter."
Hunter looked over and sighed inwardly, seeing a bloody katana snapped in half laying in the grass.
"What is it?" Said AJ.
"Nothing," said Hunter.
AJ looked over and gasped, covering her mouth with her hands.
"AJ," said Brad, putting an arm around her. "It's ok."
AJ shook her head and pulled away, taking out her gun. "No, they are not, dead." She ran towards the gate and started gunning down zombies.
"Shit," said Amy, chasing after her and helping gun down the zombies. The rest of the group followed suit as AJ made it into the neighborhood.
Phil was holding Jeff in bed and stroking his hair when he heard the shots. He gently pulled away and walked to the window, his eyes widening. "AJ."
"I'll be right back, I promise," said Phil, getting a soft whine from Jeff in response. He ran down the stairs and out of the house. "Midget!"
AJ looked over and grinned, sprinting over to him. "Phil!" She jumped on him and wrapped her legs around his waist in a hug as the rest of the group finished off the zombies.
"Where's Jeff?" Said AJ, as she hopped down.
Phil immediately looked back in the house. "He's hurt, he got shot."
"He got shot?!" Said Amy.
"Yeah, this prick just came in and started stealing the food and shot Jeff," said Phil, jogging back into the house. He went back upstairs and got back in the bed, pulling Jeff close gently.
Phil pecked Jeff's lips softly as the rest of the group came in. "Are you ok?"
"I'm tired," croaked Jeff.
"He looks like he's lost a lot of blood," said Amy, looking at all the blood on the sheets and pillows.
Hunter walked over to Jeff and moved his hair out of his face. "You don't look too good buddy."
"Well sorry I'm not attractive right now I just got shot," said Jeff, coughing the last part out.
Hunter smirked. "He'll be fine, we need to bandage it better though." He grabbed the extra bandages but as soon as he touched Jeff's arm, Jeff pulled away and further into Phil. "No! It hurts!"
Phil pulled away and got off the bed with a sigh. "Jeff it's helping you."
"Phillll," whined Jeff.
Phil grabbed his hand and interlaced their fingers as Hunter grabbed Jeff's arm again. "It'll be over before you know it. Just keep looking at me." He winced as Jeff squeezed his hand and cried for Hunter to stop.
As soon as Hunter finished Phil climbed back in the bed and cuddled Jeff again. He kissed his forehead as Jeff calmed down. "It's over."
Amy started walking downstairs. "I'm gonna go scope this place out."
"We'll come too," said AJ, with Brad following her.
Hunter sat on the edge of the bed and patted Jeff's hip. "You're alright."
"Why would you do that?" Said Jeff.
"I was saving your life," said Hunter. "You'll appreciate it later." He then looked at Phil with a sigh. "Brad's bitten."
Phil's eyes widened. "What?"
"He got bit when we were running out of the forest," said Hunter. "He's saying it's just a scratch but it's getting worse."
Phil ran his hands over his face. "Fuck."
"I just wanted you guys to know so we could figure out something to do," said Hunter. "AJ almost lost it when she thought Jeff was dead, there is no telling what she'll do when Brad is actually dead."
"Why did she think Jeff was dead?" Said Phil.
"We found his katana," said Hunter.
"You found it?" Asked Jeff.
"Yeah, it was broken in two and bloody," said Hunter.
Jeff glared at Phil, and Phil sighed. "You still have a crossbow."
Jeff just grumbled to himself and buried his face into Phil's chest.
Hunter chuckled and got up. "Make sure he gets rest, I'm gonna go check this place out with the others."
"Alright," said Phil, putting an arm back around Jeff's waist. He sighed when Hunter left. As happy as he was to see all of them again, he really wouldn't have minded just living here alone with Jeff.
