Title: Take A Bite Of My Heart Tonight
Rating: R
Pairing: Jalex (eventually)
Summary: Alex and Jack have been dancing around their feelings for each other for years, but who knew it would literally take the end of the world to bring them together?
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
After stunned silence a lone sob is choked out of the youngest males’ mouth. He honestly had no idea that he was this emotional, but honestly, who could blame him? Four of his closest friends had just died because of some bloody science experiment going wrong. As more sobs fall from his mouth he covers his face with his long fingers; not wanting to make eye-contact with anyone, they might be dead soon.
Alex looks towards his best friend with sad; big eyes before walking over and wrapping his arms around Jack’s waist and pulling him into a hug as the younger buries his head into Alex’s hair and lets out some sobs. Jack’s fingers hold tightly on Alex’s waist as he tries to calm himself down. He’s being selfish; everyone’s upset.
“Come on…” mumbles Rian, trying not to cry. “We… we should get rid… get rid of the b-body?” he says softly almost like a question.
Evan nods his head a little in agreement. “Yeah…” he says softly before stepping gingerly towards their dead friend, weapon held close just in case Colussy just in case he wasn’t actually dead. Because honestly he had to be prepared for absolutely fucking anything, for all they knew the zombies could suddenly come back to life as a vampire, perhaps, and kill them all with shiny and pointed teeth.
“I’ll help…” offers Grieco whilst wrapping his hands in some sort of material, conscious of the fact that even touching their friends’ corpse could pass on the mutation. “I’d… I’d cover-r your h-hands if I were you, Ev.”
Nodding, Evan rips some material from one of the old curtains and wraps it around his hands before Grieco and him bravely pick up Colussy and stumble their way outside.
Jack looks down to his best friend again with teary eyes. Lifting his hand he gently wipes away Alex’s little beads of tears that had dribbled down his slightly pink cheeks. “Please don’t ever leave me, Lex…” he mumbles softly as he meets Alex’s wide brown eyes.
“I won’t… promise, Jacky,” mumbles Alex before linking their fingers together and pulling Jack down to sit with him next to Rian who was still playing around with his Samurai type sword with a frown on his face.
“We can’t leave here without one another, guys,” Rian says as he looks at them, fingers running up and down the handle of his sword-it was preferred over the previous axe.
Evan and Grieco walk back in then, the group all sitting close to each other in a sort of huddle. “Yeah, so even if one of you has snapped at the other or had some pussy argument…” Grieco sends a look at Alex and Jack. “You don’t leave, got it?”
Everyone nods their heads solemnly. It’s not like either of them were exactly planning on leaving the room which was the safest place in the whole building. No way. That would probably be one of the most stupid things any of the men had done.
“So when you shower you’ll go in pairs and every four days we will go to the kitchen and try and find some food,” adds Grieco, looking at all of them. He had practically taken over the leaders place.
They all silently nod their heads.
“We’ll have shower trips every two days, got it? And no fussing over lack of shampoo and you lot can’t sing in the shower- and we have no conditioner. We gotta ration our shampoo, got it?” says Grieco. “And we don’t got access to hair dryers-“
Jack and Alex look horrified.
“So yes. Alex, Jack, your hair will go frizzy, cope. No hair gell of spray neither, so we’ll all look like shit but that’s not important right now.”
All of them nod their heads; the rules all make sense.
“So showers now?” asks Alex as he twists his fingers with Jack’s. He needs something to forget about the deaths. “Please? I fucking stink…” he adds with his dark lashes fluttering in a way that he hoped would persuade his friends into letting him shower.
“Okay. Jack, Alex and Rian, go shower and when you get back we will, got it?” Grieco says, running his fingers through his black hair.
The three of them nod and stand up. Rian spinning his sword in his hands whilst Alex and Jack pick up their own weapons, together they walk down to the locker rooms; eyes wide and scared as dark was starting to paint over the school.
Jack’s fingers are still playing loosely with Alex as the walk into the old locker rooms.
“Don’t look at my junk,” warns Alex with a smirk before checking the room and pulling off his shoes; shirt; skinny jeans. He can already feel his best friends’ big brown eyes running up and down his exposed body and he feels somewhat embarrassed even though they had seen each other naked so many times it’s crazy.
Rian’s already in the massive group showers which he had hated at high school when Alex walks casually in his hand messing up the back of his hair. Jack follows behind with a somewhat smile on his face- Rian figured that was cos Jack was always happy to be naked.
“Be quick and Jack, please stop checking Alex out!” Rian says as he washes.
Alex rolls his eyes and does a little pose before thrusting- making Rian cringe. “I’m sexy, what can I say?” before turning on another shower.
Jack just keeps quiet and takes his own place in the shower before cheekily slapping a hand to Alex’s arse.
