Oh and th reason I'm writing this, is basically because I'm bored and I have no idea of what to write for my other stories.
Enjoy!
"Shower's free," Nick said. He walked into the room wearing the jeans and black t-shirt he had found for himself. Ellis was still in the same position on the bed and Nick had no clue what was wrong with him. "Overalls!" Nick yelled, snapping the hick out of his dream like state. "Huh?" he asked, confused. "I said the shower's free." "O-okay. T-thanks Nick." He stood up and walked towards the door pulling his t-shirt over his head.
"Here Ro," Ellis said, handing Rochelle the coveralls and his t-shirt and boxers. He had a towel around his waist. "Go on," she said, "the hot water is gonna be all gone, knowing Coach." They laughed and Ellis walked through the little room he was sharing with Nick and into the bathroom. Once the door was closed, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned the shower on.
When he stepped in, the warm spray felt amazing on his dirty body. They only got to take showers on rare occasions, so all of them would savor the time they got. The water changed from clear to red, to brown and then back to clear.
Out in the room, Nick was lost in his thoughts, mostly about Ellis. He knew he felt something for the hick, but he never, ever dared to show any emotion towards him. Sure he looked out for him when they were fighting off hordes and special infected, but he never let on that he felt any deeper than friends. After a little while, Nick was too lost in thought to notice that Ellis had stepped into the room until he heard the bathroom door shut. "You ready ta go ta bed?" Ellis asked. "Sure Overalls, but you sleep on the right side."
The climbed into bed, each trying to stay as far as they could on there sides of the bed without actually rolling off the bed. It was a peaceful night for the most part. That is, until Ellis had to go to the bathroom. He woke up and he felt something warm around his stomach. Fuck Nick! He cursed. He grabbed Nick's arm carefully and lifted it off of his flesh and rolled off the bed. "Where are you going," Nick asked, his voice thick with sleep. "I go' ta take a piss. Ge' on your side of the bed." Nick just grunted and rolled back to his side.
Ellis just stood up and walked to the bathroom. Dammit Nick! He thought, why the hell did you have to get so close to me. He just shook his head and walked out of the bathroom. Ellis debated on getting back in the bed or going to the room with Ro or Coach. He decided just to tough it out the rest of the night and crawled back in bed. "Night Nick," he whispered, before shutting his eyes and falling into an unconscious world, where the infected didn't exist…
