Chapter Eight: Shaken Up

♢♡Jonathan♡♢

"I-Is he okay?!" I gasp, eyes widening. "He's fine, just fine. Well, no. He's shaken up and kinda freaked out but he's not dead or injured" Lui sighs, turning again. "I can just say he'll be really, really glad to see you guys. How do you know him?" Lui continues. I blush and look ahead, seeing a camp set up behind fence walls. I smile.

"It's a long story" I lie, kinda. Lui nods and the fence door slides open. Lui waves to the guy in a makeshift watch tower as we pass through before he grabs my arm and points towards a small fire. "Evan's over there, Chilled has been trying to calm him down for awhile, so don't run and don't shout" He warns before patting my back and jogging away.

I walk towards the fire and some guy only a tiny bit shorter then me bolts up. "Who are you?" He asks, moving in front of something. "I'm Jon, who are you and where is Evan? He got an concussion and he was attacked before we got separated" I say quickly, starting to freak out too.

"Okay okay, he's sleeping. He was freaking out and I got him to lay down. I'm Chilled" The man sighs, stepping out of the way. Evan is on the ground in his little red sleeping bag, fast asleep but still shaking. "Brock is a nurse, c-can I get him?" I ask, looking back at Evan when he whimpers in his sleep.

"That's probably a good idea" Chilled agrees so I run off, quickly finding Brock talking to Brian and David. "Brock, Evan, it's Evan" I say breathlessly, and the shortest of the group's eyes widen. He runs the way I came and Brian looks back and forth between him and me again. "Is Evan okay?" He asks, David just looks confused.

"I.. I don't know. I have to make sure he's okay" I sigh before jogging back over to Evan and Brock. Evan is still sleeping, still shivering, but Brock is giving him a run down. "High fever..." Brock mumbles, pressing his fingers to Evan's neck. "High pulse..." Brock sighs, pulling down Evan's lips. "No black gums." He says firmly.

"Okay, Jon, get in the sleeping bag" Brock says, standing up. This Chilled guy snorts and I blush, glaring Brock down. "What?! Why?!" I complain. "I don't have any equipment and Evan needs the body heat. The fire and the sleeping bag isn't doing enough and he needs to break this fever. So, get in the sleeping bag and hold Evan close. Hopefully he'll pick up on your heartbeat too and his will slow down" Brock growls out of annoyance.

"Fine, fine" I grumble, feeling the heat on my face get worse. I squirm my way into the sleeping bag behind Evan and make sure he's still facing the fire, looking up at Brock and glaring. Chilled has walked away. "Are you going to watch me spoon Evan all night or are you going to go talk to your boyfriend and his brother?" I sneer.

"Dick" Brock snorts, walking off. I sigh and slide my arms around Evan, pulling him tight against my chest. Evan's shivering slows down only a bit and I sigh, finally letting myself settle. Evan rolls over and nuzzles into my chest, letting out a shaky breath. I rub my hands up and down his back with a sigh, hoping he's still asleep.

Evan settles back into my arms and stops shaking, thank God. I smile a little a close my eyes, it's barely dark out but I don't care, I have no where to go as long as Evan is still like this. I hope he's okay when he wakes up.

♢♡Time Skip♡♢

I wake up to sniffling and whimpering, which isn't new considering where in the damn zombie apocalypse. I look down to see Evan squeezing me, crying against my chest. I tighten my arms around him and Evan's breath hitches before he tucks his face into the crook of my neck.

"Heyy Ev, hey. It's okay, you're okay" I purr, petting Evan's hair. He shakes his head and presses closer against me, still sniffling away. "Hey hey, calm down. I got you, I'm here. Go back to sleep Ev, I won't leave you" I promise, patting his back a little. Evan's sniffles reduces to hiccups and he grips my shirt, huffing out a whimpering.

"I-I-I was s-so w-worried" Evan whimpers, shaking like a leaf. "I know, I know. Calm down Ev, I have you, you're okay" I sigh, tilting Evan's head back and kissing him. Evan hesitates for only a second before pressing his lips firmly against mine. Evan sniffs and wipes his nose on his wrist, looking up at me with brown puppy dog eyes.

"Th-Thank you J-Jonathan" He secoighs before curling back against my chest. "Of course" I chuckle, patting Evan's back. "Now go back to sleep, you need the rest" I assure, getting a nod out of Evan. He falls back asleep pretty quick and I fall back asleep easily knowing he's alright.
