Alright my friends! Im sorry if has been so long since i last posted, School, ya know? Anyway, I never expected people to like my story so much! Its PURE IMAGINATION! I love the LFD games and ima hopin' they make another one real soon! ANYWAY-I was reading the reviews and i got so pretty positive ones, HOWEVER!, I want everyone to know i DO NOT WRITE VERY MANY STRIGHT STORIES. Meaning, that i normally only write Yaoi or Yuri. Being more or less a lesbian myself, I find it easier for some reason, honest to god reason. Right, so, there you have it, i hope i haven't lost too many readers at this point and thank you all for reading! It means a lot! By the way, I'm really sorry if the 'smut' or guy on guy action later on sounds so cheesy. I wrote this really late and kinda just...put something to gether. I promise to later on up-date it if i get more reviews saying i need to! THANK YOU ALL!~ (Or should i say TANK you all. XD get it? get it? Tank you -_-" Ok, im adone, i swear)
Ellis looked at his watch for the third time in nearly an hour. Rochelle and coach had fallen asleep long ago, but it was hard for him to tell if Nick had fallen asleep or not, the man was a quiet sleeper.
"Nick?"
He slowly crawled over to the older man.
"Nick?" He whispered. "Are ya awake?"
There was a soft groan in reply.
"What kid? Can't you see I'm trying to sleep?
"I-I can' sleep"
"So you gotta keep me up? What are you, five?"
"It's over somethin' you said"
There was a moment silence before he heard Nick shift to sit up.
"Yeah? What I say?"
"That ya like me too. Wha'-Wha' didja mean by that?"
Silence. Ellis began to wonder if Nick just said that to make him happy. He began to also formulate questions pertaining to the same subject until Nick suddenly answered, breaking his train of thought.
"Depends," He said after a long pause.
"Eh? On wha'?"
"What you meant"
What he meant? He meant exactly what he had said. He liked Nick and not just as a friend. He was often teased when he told Rochelle that they should get married and go on a cross country trip, but after he thought on it for a while, he realized that wasn't right, he had his sights and heart, set on Nick.
"I meant wha' I said," He said softly, but confidently. "I like ya. I….Wanna be with ya Nick"
"Yeah? Well, what if I told you I don't want to be with you?"
"I think….Well, shoot, it was fun while it lasted then, right?"
Nick scoffed, shaking his head and leaning back against the cold, concrete wall.
"Damn, you really are an idiot. Why would you want to be with me, kid? I treat you like a door mat"
"Nah ya don't!" Ellis said quickly. "I mean, here's the thing Nick, I look up ta ya. Ya may treat me like shit, but ya keep me safe an' ya care. It's like some unspoken attraction, I dunno, ya don' see it at first, but ya look back…."
He trailed off, looking away.
"Ah shoot, I dunno, I jus' like ya."
"Look kid, about that-"
"Damn, I knew it was a lie," Ellis mumbled not letting Nick finish his sentence. "I really am an idiot"
He turned to move away from Nick back to his spot on the ground, startled when Nick grabbed his arm.
"You didn't let me finish my sentence," He hissed, tugging the younger man back towards him. "If you're ganan keep doing that ,we're ganna have some problems, now aren't we?"
"Wha-Wha'?"
"I never said…"He looked over at the sleeping pair before lowering his voice. "I never said that I didn't like you idiot. I just asked what if I didn't want to be with you, is all."
"S-so does that mean?-"
"Maybe, kid, it's just…Shit, even I find it awkward."
"Wha' do ya mean?"
"You know, with coach and Rochelle around. It would be different if it were just us, but it isn't."
"Wait, you find that awkward? Really, you?"
"Hey, cut me some slack would you? Shit, I might be cold hearted, but I know when to show a little decency!"
"Ok, ok, fair enough then. Bu' wha' if I told ya there was a place we could slip to whenever we wanted to? Hmm? A place we can defend on our own?"
"Yeah, right, when pigs fly and hell freezes over twice, right?"
"Nah! I got one we could go to right now if we wanted too!"
Nick cocked a brow at the younger man, perking up slightly.
"Why the hell didn't you mention that before?"
"Ah, well, see, that's kind of ma…er….ma place. I like to disappear there sometimes"
"You son of a bitch. Well, now you can't not show me because you've mentioned it!"
"I dunno Nick-"
"You heard coach and Rochelle earlier, we're ganna be leaving Savanna soon, you gotta show me at least before we leave kid"
Ellis sighed, smiling a little and looking up at the older man.
" 'Marrows our next supply run, yeah?"
"Yeah, that's what Rochelle said" Nick nodded.
"Ok, I'll show ya ta'marrow. It's only a few miles from here an' there's a few little shops we can check along the way. I ain't sure if there's any supplies left in the actual building"
"Fine, fair enough overalls. Anyway, is this place ganna be close to our next safe house? 'Cuz after supply run, we head straight for the next one."
"Uhm, well, golly Nick, lemme see the map again"
"It's on the table, go get it and try not to wake the other two in the process. I've seen what you're like around Witches"
Ellis stuck his tongue out before shifting to stand up and silently sneaking his way towards the rickety table that stood in the middle of the room. Nick found it highly amusing at how quiet the kid could be contrary to when he was out on the run with the others. Fighting to stifle a laugh, he watched as the young man returned with a candle and the map, setting the candle to the side as he spread the map out.
"Well, ok," he said as he looked at it, leaning down to read. Nick resisted the urge to shove his face into the map. "Here's tha safe house we're in right now,"
He pointed to it with his finger and frowned.
"Here's my get 'way,"
He drug his finger towards the middle of the map, pausing.
"So that's 'bout a three mile walk from here to there, not counting any stops due ta infected. That ain't so bad. But our next safe house is abou' four or five miles from ma get 'way. That's also not count'n the infected that'll try to stop us also and tha places we have ta stop at ta check. Are ya sure ya wanna make the stop, Nick?
"Look, you don't wanna stop kid, we don't have to. But I'm game, so let's go for it."
"Well alright!" Ellis grinned, folding up the map and putting it to the side. "Should be fun!"
"Shhh, shush, keep your voice down or you're ganna wake them up" Nick said as he looked over at the sleeping man and woman on the ground.
"Oh! Sorry" Ellis whispered, covering his mouth. Nick shook his head at how childish the other was, trying his damndest not to laugh or even smirk. He watched the young man, who mused himself with stretching, nearly every little bone of his popping, before the older man reached forward; hooking his arm around that trim little waist and scooping him into his lap, smiling.
"There was another reason why I wanted you to hush down you know"
Ellis's face turned scarlet red fast and he stared up at Nick with eyes of a startled child.
"N-Nick?-"
"You were right kid, I….I do like you for some odd reason, shit, seems impossible, huh? But you, you're something different, you know that?"
Ellis mewled softly as Nick held him tightly
"B-but the others-"
"We'll be quiet….tonight at least." Nick purred softly. The older man pulled the other closer as they pushed their lips together, both hands running up and down the others sides, which caused the younger man to shiver. Ellis's hands clutched the fabric of the older man's jacket and shirt, tugging slightly the two wrapped their arms around each other, the kiss only deepening. Ellis wasn't expecting Nick to go after him; in fact, he didn't even think Nick had a thing for him considering the way he treated him. It had taken Allies a lot of courage to even admit that he liked Nick and even then he realized during his walk that he coward out after words by running away, but it looked as though his courage, no matter how long it lasted, had paid off.
I-I thought you wanted to wait," Ellis said breathlessly when they broke apart a while later, Nick said as his mouth moved from the others lips to his neck slowly. "'Cuz now well…hnnn…we c-can't-"
"Can't what?" Nick whispered in his ear.
He got no reply, instead, Ellis's face turned another wave of scarlet, Nick giving him a questioning look.
"Kid?"
"D-don' whisper in m-ma ear…." Ellis said pleadingly.
"Ahhh," Nick chuckled softly. "So that's how you play?"
"N-nick?-….."
Nick grinned wide. Some people couldn't help how certain things turn them on, but this was just cute.
"Are you one of those people who like dirty nothings whispered in your ear?" He continued to whisper as he nipped playfully at the others neck. "Or is it anything in general that turns you on?"
Ellis closed his eyes, taking a deep breath.
"I'm warning you Nick-…"
"What are you ganna do? Huh? Grow stiffer on me? Oh, don't kid yourself," He said rolling his eyes at the look Ellis gave him. "I can feel that.
Nick snickered at the embarrassed man with pleasure. As much fun as it was to tease the young man, and it was a lot more than he anticipated, they would need some rest for the supply run tomorrow and whatever else might happen while they were out. He kissed the younger man's lips with a sigh.
"We need some rest if we're ganna be out tomorrow, Ellis. So let's get some while we can"
Ellis began to grumble under his breath with a glare.
"You expect me to sleep after that!?"
"If you want to go out tomorrow with me"
He continued to grumble, but crawled off the older man, settling in between his legs and leaning his head back on the others chest.
"Then I'ma sleeping on ya! Besides, the floor ain't no fun alone"
"Ah, fine, just, try not to move around a lot"
"Naw, I'ma peaceful sleeper!" Ellis promised.
Nick rolled his eyes, wrapping his arms around the young man's waist and resting his chin on his shoulder.
