Cold winter

A Left 4 Dead Story

Rex started to get used to every morning waking up in a warm bed next to Sven.

This morning the smoker was still asleep and Rex felt bored waiting for his friend to wake up. He decided to sneak out from the dark bedroom to look around the rest of the building. He closed the door silently to avoid waking Sven up, the door gave away a squeak but luckily the sleeping smoker didn't wake up.

He started to walk down the corridor, walking by all those other apartments. Somewhere almost completely burned down, others had broken windows or doors. The smell of burned flesh from other infected made the hunter dizzy and feeling sick, he stopped and looked around his back, looking if someone was following him, but no one there, and it was awfully quiet. Some stood on the drive way and on some parking spots outside, so abandon by those humans that doesn't exist, not anymore. Some cars where filled with blood, others where drenched in it. Rex continued walking down the corridor, he looked down on the blood filled floor, and there was something black lying there on the floor.

''A gun?'' Rex asked himself. He kneeled down and took it up. He inspected it, he had never seen a gun this close before, he has always wondered how the survivors manage to kill with these things,' how does it aim?' The curious hunter thought for himself. Just when Rex was going to lay back the gun he suddenly heard something further down the corridor, it didn't sound like a scream. It sounded like a shriek, but not from an infected nor survivor. Rex knew himself by his huge curiosity he would not let that sound pass him by, no way. He let go of the gun and got down on four and walked slowly towards the strange sound. He felt like a dog crawling on all four, but he felt also safer and ready to attack if something happen. The sound stopped for a second and so did the hunter, he started to wonder if he'd just imagined it.

The hunter heard his stomach growl; he was really hungry from all the exploring. He sniffed the air, but there was no food near. Rex could go back to Sven but he wanted to do a little by himself to.

''Where have you been?'' The hunter heard an angry sounding voice behind him, he looked over his shoulder only to see a very pissed off smoker standing right behind him.

Sven kneeled down and took his arms around the hunter from behind, the hunter blushed madly.

''I..i was ju..''Rex stopped himself when he felt Sven's hands moving further down the blushed hunters stomach, wich made Rex blush even more, he grabbed Sven's wrists as he felt the smokers warm hands was going under Rex sweater, touching his pale and thin body.

Sven closed his eyes, still moving his hands, exploring Rex small body.

''Mm..mh..''Rex gave away a moan as he also closed his eyes, and leaned his head back against Svens. Sven smiled gently, moving pass the hunters waist.

''W..wait..'' Rex tried to take Sven's hands away, he wasn't ready for this, not now. This was not what he wanted, he was scared and shaken. Sven felt how the hunter was shaken by this and moved his hands up again from Rex lower parts. Rex was still shaking, and now breathing heavy through his mouth. He felt guilt for letting Sven go this far. Sven turned around to see the hunters face, Rex Face was red, his chest going in and out, catching back his breath. Rex felt warm water raining down his cheeks, 'what is that?' he thought for himself. Sven took his own hand to dry the hunters cheeks away from all those tears.

''Tears'' Sven said, smiling gently, Rex looked up at him.

''Tears?'' Rex asked, he was still a bit nervous, he didn't want to look in Sven's eyes with that red face, he felt so ashamed by going out on his own without asking first. Sven smiled and took his hands on both the hunters' cheeks, and parted his lips and kissed the blushed hunter. Rex could feel how he stopped shaking, the tears stopped almost completley. Sven hold the kiss for a moment longer, but Rex didn't mind it, he had never had a kiss before and he felt warm and comfortable. Sven leaned his head back for a second and took a deep breath. Rex eyes where almost completely wide open, he was a little shocked. Sven took Rex in his arms and carried the hunter back to his apartment.

''Sven..i can walk by myself' 'Rex said gently, still blushed all over his face. Sven smiled, lowered his head for a bit and kissed Rex forehead gently. The hunter looked away, mumling something for himself. Back in the apartment Sven laid Rex on the bed.

''I was worried..'' The smoker said sharply, looking Rex direct in the eyes. Rex didn't know what to answer that with, he felt uncomfortable suddenly, especially for having Sven looking at him with those serious eyes, he felt embarrassed and ashamed because of it. Rex took one of the pillows and laid it over his own face to cover his guilt, or was it to not see Sven in the eyes?

The smoker sighed, took one of Rex Hands and holds it tight against his chest. The hunter could feel the smoker's wild beating heart pounding in his chest. Sven took the pillow away from the hunter and lay down beside him. The warm smoker took his arms around Rex, and then they laid there, Sven hugging Rex tight against himself. Rex curled so close he could against the smokers chest and yawned a bit, giving away a small sound.

''Sven..'' The hunter whispered silently, looking up at Sven's face.

''Yeah?'' The smoker answered before he gave away a big yawn himself.

''I'm hungry'' Rex felt suddenly that he had broken a good moment. Sven widened his eyes a bit and looked down on Rex confused. Rex smiled shyly, he couldn't blame himself for being hungry when he hadn't ate for two days.

''Fine I'll see what I can find, on one condition'' Sven said and the hunter looked up at him.

''You will wait here, okay?'' Sven added. The hunter nicked with his head at the serious smoker. The smoker rise up and went out through the door.

Rex sat up in the bed; he could hear Sven's footsteps fade away outside the apartmen. Rex was thinking of everything that had happen that night, but he went dizzy as soon as he tried.

'Same old apartment' he thought for himself.

He looked out through the dirty window, towards the sky. Seems like the day will end sooner than he thought.
