~Jund's POV~ (Yes you read correctly)

"You are still eating that," Snake questioned from across the table. I looked up from my soup and smiled at him, wide mouthed allowing him to see all the contents. "That is disgusting," he mumbled looking down at the ground.

I chuckled after swallowing the noddles, then looked up at him again to see those gorgeous green eyes staring at me. "C'mon. You know you love me," I laughed, motioning towards myself.

"Yeah, when you aren't shoving soup down your throat then showing it to me... I mean- nevermind. You are a little shit," he finished, proudly. Time to wipe that proud look off that face.

"What if I was shoving something else down my throat," I chuckled, raising my eyebrows at the muscular man that I have had a thing for since I was thirteen.

"Shut the fuck up," he said quietly, adverting his gaze from me. I knew he couldn't stare into my eyes without saying something stupid, and to be honest having that kind of power over him was amazing. Then again, his eyes were pretty fucking amazing too, green eyes were rare, especially now a days, since the living repopulated with anybody. I mean, 2% of the world had green eyes in the first place, or thats what my book said anyway.

"Alright, Alright," I yelled defensively, throwing my hands in the air, a smug grin across my face, knowing I won. A small smile appeared on his face, and he let out a chuckle.

"God dammit. Fuck you," he yelled sternly, reaching over for my can of soup, which was completely empty. He looked into the can and scowled at me. "Thanks for saving some, Campbell! What a generous person you are," he stated. It was always hard to tell if he was being sarcastic, being he had such a deep voice, extremely sexy voice, might I add.

"Assuming you were being sarcastic, I know I am so generous! But, its your fault for leaving me with a can of soup... and a spoon," I laughed, knowing that was the truth.

"I was gone for two minutes! And please, even if you didn't have a spoon you would've devoured that. Even if you didn't have a canopener, you would've devoured it," he muttered, getting up from the table and walking down the hallway.

"Where are you going," I asked curiously, leaning on the table to get a better view of him walking away.

"Food. And, stop staring," he grumbled, taking a right turn into a doorway.

I smirked at his answer. I really don't think he minds too much, which I don't understand. I mean, he has told me before that he isn't against gays or whatever, but I am pretty sure he is straight. He mentioned his girlfriend once, almost broke into tears. I am not even very sure how he figured out I was gay anyway. I mean, I suppose because of all the joking, but that could just be mistaken as two guy FRIENDS joking around with each other. I never actually went right out and told him I was gay, and I would never mention I sort of possibly liked him.

I mean, technically isn't that incest? No. It isn't incest! Is it? No. No it isn't at all... how do I even know what incest is? I mean, he raised me from birth. He might as well be my brother, as he agreed on that term above father. I don't really see him as my father anyway, if he was my father he would be a pretty sucky one. But I also don't see him as my brother either. He is just a friend... a friend that raised you from birth and is probably about thirty years older than me. I groaned, accidentally out loud, but I don't care. What the fuck is wrong with me? Why him? Why have I been feeling like this since I was thirteen!

~Flashback~

My feet where beginning to feel heavy... well my whole body actually. The horde was catching up to us, Snake was running in front of me and I was pretty sure my feet were going to give out. I wasn't going to admit that though. I was tired of him saving the day, saving me from danger or whatever. At this point, I was still trying to figure out why I was feeling this way. I was labeling it as jealousy, although I knew it wasn't. I just convinced myself that was what is was, jealousy.

So when I saw him slowing down, waiting for me to catch up, my immeadiate reaction was to run faster... resulting in me falling over, letting out a strangled yelp as I scraped my elbow. I was trying to get up, but tensed when I felt a strong arm around my waist hoist me off the ground, and start running.

"PUT ME DOWN, NOW," I screamed, blushing madly. When he touched me, it just felt weird. This warmth spread through my body, tingles.

"Shut up, Jund. You can't run... I can," he said back to me. It also annoyed me how he rarely yelled. Despite being in stressful situations or when he was mad, he rarely yelled. He always used the same, calm, conversational voice. Anger burned through my body immeadiatly. I pinpointed this as jealousy, although now taht I think about it, it was probably just getting me pissed off that this made him slightly more attractive.

Being stupid, I reached for his machete in his belt and pulled it out. He turned his head towards me and dropped me as I swung it towards him. "What the fuck," he asked. I stormed off stomping, ignoring him calling out my name behind me.

"Fuck you," I shouted, flipping him off as I walked off with his machete.

~~~

When we arrived at the house I immeadiatly stormed off to my room, slamming the door and pacing around, ignoring him calling after me. He knocked on my door,"Jesus Jund! What the hell is wrong with you!" I fought back tears at this, I really didn't know.

I struggled for something to say, so I settled with being a pissed off brat at him. "You are what's wrong! You almost got us killed back there," I yelled back bitterly in response, finishing off quickly at the end as I felt tears threatening to fall.

"I'm the one that almost got us killed? You are the one that was stomping around and screaming the whole time we were walking back at the railroad track! I tried to get you to stop, but you practically cut my arm off," he yelled through the door. I tensed. I didn't like it when he yelled. It was scary, I was always used to him being calm.

"You tried to touch me," I accidentally whispered out, covering my mouth almost immeadiatly after, muffling a sob. Why did I want him to touch me again, to hold me? Comfort me?

"Well yeah. You were exhausted, then you were just stomping around. I had to pick you up so you would stop," he murmered back. He sounded guilty, and I felt a pang in my stomach, realizing those weren't the best choice of words.

"Yeah, well don't do that. I am not a baby anymore," I muttered back bitterly. Although I wanted the feeling, I couldn't let him know. He might leave me, like everyone else.

"Can I come in," he sighed.

I froze. My eyes were puffy and full of tears. "Uh-um- no! No you can't," I struggled to stutter out, pretty unconvincingly.

"Jund are you okay? I am coming in," he stated, worry in his voice. He attempted to open the door and I leapt at it, holding it back as best I could. He was a lot stronger than me though, and I could see his green eyes peeking through the door at me. "What did you do to your hair," he asked.

I blushed slightly, remembering myself globbing on hair gel a couple minutes earlier, enraged with myself. Don't know why, but whatever.

"I found hair gel in here... now leave. I'll come out later," I whispered. I heard his heavy boots clunk away. I sighed in releif, but allowed myself to bury my head in my knees. What was that?

~End of Flashback~

"You okay," he asked, sitting down across from me.

I nodded wearily," Yeah. Tired as fuck, though." That wasn't a complete lie, because whilst I was replaying that memory in my head, I felt myself wear down slowly.

"Go get some sleep. I baricaded the door, we should be alri-" he was cut off my a sharp bang, and groans from outside. "Well shit. Time to go," he murmered, getting up and walking at a slightly quickened pace to get our bags.

I warily got up, helping him with the less heavier things, and followed him through the back door.

~~~

"Jund, we gotta stop. You look exhausted, I am exhausted. Can't we camp out for the night," Snake asked from behind me. I looked back at him immeadiatly in shock.

"You? Tired? Shouldn't I be the tired one," I asked, fighting back a yawn to confirm my previous statement.

"You are tired. Both of us are. We need to rest. Can't we set up camp," he asked.

"Not with the horde so close behind," I mumbled back, slowing my pace slightly to allow him to catch up.

"Jund. Since when are you in charge? When we find the next house, we stop," he yelled to me, taking back his dominant role as leader.

"Okay. Good luck with that. There are no houses around-"

"How about that one," he said, pointing ahead at a small building on the horizon. He smirked as he ran ahead. "C'mon Mr. Not Tired," he chuckled.

~~~

I sat up, sweat drenching my body. I looked across the room at the small amount of light. Snake sat in one of the only pieces of furnture in the small shack, a comfy brown recliner, holding a candle and a book. I was sleeping in the other, a small metal-framed twin bed, with only sheets for warmth. Summer was slowly fading into fall, which was still pretty warm for wherever we were, but at night it was pretty chilly.

"You okay," the comforting deep voice asked. I shook my head no, making the older man raise an eyebrow at me.

I shook my head, partially because no, I wasn't okay. Not after having a nightmare about him leaving me. Also, because I was cold, and the thin ripped sheet wasn't helping much. And finally, I wanted to feel him. I always enjoyed the rare occasions that we would just sort of sit and cuddle.

It may be weird to thing the badass Snake, wearing a badass green bandana over his oak brown hair, which was long and tied into a really badass pony tail, which complimented his muscley body, to be a good cuddler... but he was. It was so comforting to have his warm, strong arms wrapped around you, cocooning you from the outside. I was surprised that he would even cuddle me like that, even when I was younger. He was always so comforting, protective over me.

He got up and walked over to my bed, and I closed my eyes as I felt the dip in the matress. "You enjoy this don't you," he asked as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder, allowing me to curl up into his chest, using him as a pillow.

"You do too. Don't even lie," I murmered in reply, taking in his scent and his heartbeat.

"Eh. Only for you, Campbell," he said, I could sense his smile in the tone of his voice. It was always so sweet how he still called me Campbell, despite me being maybe nineteen or twenty now... I sort of stopped counting. A sudden realization came upon me... Snake was a lot older than me. Thirty years? What was the average lifespan of a human? Seventy Eighty years? Snake had to be at least forty-nine by now. What would happen when he was gone? I depened on him! He was all I had.

I didn't realize I was sniffling until I heard his soothing voice," Shhh. It's okay."

I sat up quickly, now feeling the tears run down my cheeks. "YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME," I demanded. His eyes widened in shock, probably used to me asking him to not leave me, never demanding. He sighed deeply, opening his mouth to say something. "NO! YOU CAN'T YOU PROMISED BEFORE... SNAKE HOW OLD ARE YOU," I demanded.

"What? Why-"

"JUST TELL ME," I demanded.

"Please, stop yelling," he asked quietly, swping some of my hair from my face. I shivered under his touch.

"Sorry... sorry... No! Stop trying to change the subject! Would you answer my question for one time! How old are you," I demanded again.

"I-I can't tell you. I've told you before I-"

"No. Tell me now."

"I am fifty-two," he sighed deeply. Something was up. He was lying, I could tell he was lying. His eyes always dart from mine when he lies. But, that was a reasonable answer... He could be fifty-two... why was that lying?

I gave him a questioning look, but accepted it. "O-Okay," I stuttered, letting myself snuggle back into his chest.

"Goodnight," he murmered quietly, blowing out the candle on the nightstand next to the bed.

"G-Goodnight," I stuttered back unsurely. He wasn't fifty-two. Definitely not... but why did he... but I couldn't answer myself as I drifted off to sleep.
