Once Luke finished explaining everything to Clementine, he went outside to talk to Nick. "You're such an asshole Nick." Nick leaned against the side of the cabin."Maybe, but you explain that stuff way better than I ever could." Luke shook his head. "Dammit Nick she asked a lot of questions and shit do you know how awkward that was!" Nick just chuckled he could tell Luke was trying to sound mad but he clearly wasn't. "Yea man I'm sure it was real awkward explaining stuff like that to an 11 year old that is probably more mature than both of us combined, if anything you'd be the one to make it awkward." Luke punched Nick arm playfully before kissing his cheek. "whatever man." it was still early from what Luke could tell, it was probably still two hours before noon. They enjoyed the peace and quiet of the moment. There weren't any walkers in sight, not that Luke nor Nick saw. Nick stayed a couple more minutes before looking back at the cabin door, nodding at Luke and walking back inside. He found Clementine who had her legs awkwardly crossed sitting on the old couch, quietly humming a tune. Once she saw Nick she stopped humming and gave him a smile. "hey." "hey Clem." Nick went over to sit with her. "You wanna go hunting? Were getting low on food." she just shook her head and looked down. Nick wouldn't admit it but he was worried for the girl, all she'd gone through, always going on runs, killing, doing things no child should ever need to do. He couldn't blame her if she didn't wanna go this time. "Alright Luke and I are goin to catch somethin to eat, we'll be back before sundown." she simply nodded, and gave a weak, obviously forced smile. Nick patted her head and stood up walking outside again. Luke was now sitting on the front steps of the cabin. Nick sat next to him and took his hand before speaking. "We need to go hunting Clems not feeling it today so she's stayin here i told her we'd be back before sundown." Luke nodded. "I'll go get my machete..." he stood up, his fingers still entwined with Nick's, he gave Nicks hand a squeeze before letting it go and going inside the cabin. Nick followed shortly after. He went upstairs to his room, grabbing his rifle, a rope ,and a small pouch with a bottle of water and food inside of it. Just in case. He waved at Clementine goodbye before meeting Luke outside the cabin.
-later that day-
It had been nearly 5 hours since Luke and Nick had left the cabin. They had caught a deer big enough for the 3 of them to hold up for a couple more days. They walked back to the cabin slowly dragging the deer's body with them. Then suddenly Nick tripped stumbling into Luke causing them both to fall on the ground. Nick mumbled an apology but Luke didn't hear it, he was too focused on Nick's bright blue eyes, Nick had fallen on top of Luke. Now they were staring into each others eyes, their faces so close. Ever so slowly Nick leaned in for a kiss. The kiss sent electricity through their bodies, just like their first one did, it made Nick static. Luke deepened their passionate kiss, but it took him by surprise when Nick stuck his tongue inside the others mouth, their tongues glided together and as much as Luke was trying, he couldn't stop a soft quiet moan from escaping his throat. Nick ran his tongue along Luke's bottom lip, making another moan escape his throat. Soon they switched roles, now Luke was the one dominating Nick's mouth, making him moan quietly. They both knew were this was heading, they couldn't do it here, in the middle of the woods. Luke pulled away form Nick, both men were gasping for air, that was definitely the most accelerating kiss of their lives. Nick rolled off of Luke so he was lying next to him. He turned his head and smiled at the brunette. Once Luke caught his breath he spoke. " We should uh...we should go back before Clem starts to worry..." Nick nodded. "yea..." he got up before helping Luke to his feet. They continued their journey back to the cabin.
