Noah’s P.O.V-

We were dragged to the washroom and shoved inside, I threw my arms out to steady Wesley before he face-planted the floor and gave the gorilla dude a glare, to which he responded by slamming the large metal door. The clang echoed loudly, bouncing off of the marble sinks… giving me a headache. I glanced around taking in little details, there was a row of showers and adjacent to them were a row of sinks with mirrors overhanging. The once white tiles were a really dirty gray colour, but also smeared with a deep crimson. It kinda made me feel really uncomfortable because I’d just imagined how many people must have died, in order for Finlay and his team of psycho's to succeed this time. He was so completely twisted it wasn’t even funny. I turned to Wesley now and shrugged, as I spoke… from my mouth this time.

     “I think we should make a pact.”

    "What kind?" He asked and smiled. I went back over to him and took his hands as I held his eyes with my own.

     “We don’t give them what they want. Nothing. Now that we can communicate with one another like that, we don’t need to literally speak in front of them. So until they give us a decent answer as to why we’re here, we remain mute. Okay?” I know it’s really difficult to not speak and all, but why should we?  

           "Okay."He agreed and nodded."now about that shower," he looked over to the one shower in the room.

           “Yeah, we should really freshen up now. Um… how do you like, you know… want to do this? Separate cubicles or… together?” I grinned at him, hoping to make this situation slightly better than it had been since the last time we were alone. I obviously wouldn’t make any extravagant moves on him because we’d just kissed, but… I don’t mind us showering together, I think it might even make me feel more human… hold on, I forgot, Wesley can hear me now… this is kinda awkward.

         "You're cute." He giggled then looked at the shower,"we could shower together." He nodded and looked up at me then blushed "I uh mean if you don't mind."

     “Hell no… um, I mean no of course not. Come here with me.” I led him over to the shower, linking our fingers together. Wow, do I feel nervous now. I turned to face him once we were standing just outside the large shower cubicle… at least it’s large. With a soft smile, I asked.

     “Do you want to get in, and then I follow after you?”

        He shrugged and started undressing in front of me,'get undressed silly.' He sent.

I didn’t know where to look at first, mainly because his body was perfect and his skin looked really soft. Okay… I really need to stop thinking now because he can bloody well hear me. So with a nervous grin I sent back. ‘Alright, don’t nag me. You’re starting to sound like my sister.’ I pulled off my t-shirt first, letting it float to the disgusting floor… I’m so glad it wasn’t my clothes. I tried not to blush when I realised that he was like… really naked now… what had been my theory again? Oh, no touching… got it. He’s so mean… ‘Yeah you heard me, you’re a tease.’

        He stuck his tongue out at me like a kid,'sure dear.' He stepped under the water. I couldn’t help but chuckle at his childish behaviour, he doesn’t seem bothered by the fact that we’re naked… okay, I suppose if you can’t beat them, join them. I stepped under the water behind him and reached for the shampoo which sat on a shelf in front of him. Putting a small amount on my hand, I became the worlds’ biggest snob. This brand of shampoo is terrible… I refuse to wash my hair with this crap. I miss my home… my clothes, my shampoo… it’s so not fair. I gently massaged it into Wesley’s hair trying to think of anything but being naked with him right now. I used some of the body wash on his skin, my fingers tingling with how much they wanted to explore. Behave, Noah! In the end, I rested my head on his shoulder whispering with a groan.

     “You are so cruel.”

      "I know I am." He smiled up at me. In that moment I couldn’t help but kiss his neck, just gentle little pecks, nibbles… I’m being good, I swear. I took both of his hands and pushed them to the wall of the shower… still being good. Don’t judge me, I’m a guy after all and I’m in the shower with the hottest form of human… I’m banged to rights. I asked him softly.

     “Are you okay?”

       "Perfect." He looked up again," I'm perfect with you." I froze when I heard him say that and turned him gently so he wouldn’t fall. I can’t actually believe this is really happening… what do I do? I want to proceed further but I just… I don’t know it’s complicated. What if he’s just scared… going along with it? Should I reveal more of my feelings even though it’s not been that long? I’ve never felt this way before and I’m really scared. Even the zombies don’t scare me this much.

     I took his face in both of my hands and took a breath before saying.

     “I’d never hurt you, you know that right? I mean I know I’ve teased you and stuff but… I wouldn’t physically hurt you. I just want you to be certain… I’m a guy.” I suppose I don’t want him to regret it. His first moments of kisses and embraces being with a guy that not too long ago, teased him.

            "I'm not going to regret anything."He told me,"really I won't." He smiled reassuringly at me. I returned his smile and then leaned down to claim his mouth. It was a sweet and passionate kiss that remained perfectly in sync. My hands moved slowly to his waist, pulling his body close to mine. ‘Wouldn’t it suck if we were interrupted now?’ I smiled against his mouth as I sent that message across.      

      'yah it really would.' He smirked then pulled away. Almost with a groan I held onto his waist and asked in a breathless whisper.

     “Why’d you stop?”

      "Because I can."He said then poked my nose then ran his hands threw my hair. "Your eyes are pretty. They've turned liquid silver." My heart halted in my chest, he’s so mean. I find it really strange how I can feel like this. I’d never thought I would… but in this short time of being alone… he’s become really precious. I caressed his face and smiled.

     “You’re beautiful. I never even noticed that before, and I love every sparkle in your bright eyes.” I want to keep him forever. I don’t care if there is only one of those stupid anti-virus’s, I’d find it just for him. ‘I would… I’d give my life and very existence for you without a second thought.'

       'I'm so lucky to have you.'  He smiled and just laid his head on my chest.  'Who would've called it that we'd be together?' I closed my arms around him and held his small body against mine, protectively. ‘I’m the lucky one and I bet even Allison wouldn’t have been surprised you know. You had a decent friend in her.’ I don’t really want to think of anyone in the past tense… but it really does seem unlikely that they’re okay, doesn’t it? I mean what are the chances that everyone we love is still alive? I hugged him tighter against me.

     “God am I glad I stopped to take you with me. I couldn’t live without you, Wesley. I love you so much.” I’m actually really thankful that we are in the shower, because I felt my eyes stinging with tears as the thought of what if I’d left him behind came to haunt me… those niggling monsters that whisper what if?

     "I believe. Even before this we had feelings for each other and decided to ignore them until now." He said," and I don't think t you would've not gotten me."

That actually made me chuckle softly, and I retreated slightly but still held him against me as I spoke in amusement.

     “Oh really? That’s quite conceited of you, you know… I like it.” I gave his mouth a light peck and then sighed in disappointment. “I suppose we should get dressed, and stuff… get warm. I don’t want you to get poorly.”

     "Okay. " He yawned then turned off the water."dress me?"  He looked at me like a child. Oh man, why does he look at me like that? I can never resist that. He’ll be the death of me I’m certain of it. I grinned and spoke playfully.

     “I’d rather not, but it’s your call.” I held his hand as we stepped out of the shower. I noticed that there were two white robes hanging on hooks near the heater and quickly led him to them. I grabbed the first one and wrapped him inside it, then let out a laugh.

     “You look so cute! It’s way too big for you!” I couldn’t control my laughter, just because the joke is on me really… he is too adorable, so much so that I am finding it really difficult to keep my hands to myself. Is it too soon to say openly that I want him?

   "I wuv you."He smiled cutely. I pulled him into a hug, wrapping my own robe around him so that he was just that little bit closer to me. I nibbled his ear as I grinned.

     “I want you.”  

He smiled,"have me."

  I pulled away but kept him there inside my robe. I planted a kiss on his mouth again, then opened his robe slightly so that our skin was touching. I knew that I wouldn’t force the issue but I built up enough confidence to ask him, shyly.

     “Tonight, are you willing to sleep naked with me? I swear I’ll behave myself."

He started to giggle and nodded ,"yes."

I blushed a little as I felt my body starting to tingle with super hot pins and needles. I grinned nervously and responded “Cool.”
