Chapter Text
Stomping, trees, a hand that took Jay While they ran from it, once again, just like before.
"Faster, come on Jay!". said Alex while holding Jay's hand, Jay was running and trying his best to keep up while a black mass of something chased them.
Jay stops running and stays looking at the operator, he falls on his knees and was about to hit the floor unconscious then Alex picked him up, scooped him and ran away.
"FUCK Jay!", he said and ran away, the thing just kept chasing the conscious one, while jay was unconscious in his arms, he new he was dead weight and had a fight in the truck before arriving there but he didn't wanted to left him behind, he didn't wanted to admit it but he cared about him, despited him at the same time, his feelings were complicated and he was conflicted.
While running he could see a door on the distance and found a shack so he entered and closed the door as fast as he could with his back, left Jay on the floor and said.
"wake up" . He moved Jay but there wasn't a response.
"WAKE UP YOU IDIOT!". he screamed, trying to make him wake up, looked by the tiny window, they lost operator, or that was at least what he wanted to think, he decided to take a tour, look for anything that could help them, food, resources or a bed, they really needed a bed, for Jay and for himself, he could sleep on the floor, he didn't care.
He went to the kitchen, it was an abandoned kitchen, it was really dusty and it was rusted, he went to the sink and tried working up the faucet, only a drop came out, they weren't that bad, but not good as well, he looked at the stairs and took a knife, made sure to step on the ladder first to see if it would support him, it did, so he took slow ans steady steps making his way up.
He took the knife firmly and looked aroun, they were three doors, he got closed to the first one and opened it carefully, a loud creek and a lot of dust came out, he stepped back and waited for the dust to disappear, there was a mattress on the floor, he enteres and there was s closet full of rotting blankets, the room and the entire house was made of brown wood, so it creeked more then enough while he walked, making him think he was gonna fall.
He decided to open the closet and bugs and more dust came out, he sneezed and bit and looked inside fanning himself so the dust dissaoeared faster, he found more blankets, he left them there, he walked to the second door and there was a bathroom and a third locked room.
He went back to the bathroom and it was very unkempt and of course, dirty, he decided to go to the next door and walked to the last door, it was closed, so he decided to go downstairs and wake Jay up.
"Jay, wake up".
Jay moved slowly and said.
"my head..."
He looked like a deer in Headlights, he was moving like he was dizzy so Alex decided to take him to the beds upstairs, he took Jay and put started going up.
"where are u taking me..." Jay Asked.
"Shhh...rest easy". Replied Alex, trying to be nice for once. -i don't want more problems with you.
Jay fell asleep and Alex out him in the bed carefully and took off his jacket hat and shoes, took a blanket from the closet and dusted it off outside the room.
"Alex...?". He looked at Jay and he was trying to stand up which made Alex panic and screamed at him.
"DO YOU WANNA DIE?, LAY DOWN, YOU KEEP ACTING STUPID, STAY THERE!".
Jay looked at him kinda sad and tried to hug him but Alex didn't correspond, stay quiet looking at Jay while he got close to him while his anger boiled.
"it's all your fault. You stupid fuck" A slap sound was heard and the sheets were stained red...Alex was angry , he was about to lose it.
Jay backed up and sat in the corner of the bed crying and shaking so Alex, clenching his fists, looked at Jay. And said.
"quit it!". Alex screamed and sat on the floor without saying anything.
Jay looked at him and got off the bed and got close to him.
-
"Alex...., Alex..." He tried to make Alex look at his bloddy face, he was crying and shaking.
Alex rolled him eyes, he didn't want to love him, he didn't wanted to like him or it was over, Alex looked at Jay angrily and ignored him, and closed his eyes while the blood of Jay stained his t shirt.
"Stand up." Alex demanded.
Jay scared, nodded and stood up, looking at Alex without saying anything, Alex took him by the hand and took him to the bathroom, it wasn't that clean but it was the only th6they had, it was better than nothing so he sat Jay down.
"Stay there."Said Alex so Jay did and said nothing, while Alex looked for alcohol and some cloth on his backpack to start to clean Jay wounds, the ones Alex himself caused, Jay was still crying.
"stop crying."
Alex said without remorse and feeling, Jay flinched by the pain of the alcohol and complained a bit, the pain passed when he stoped and the alcohol went away minutes later, his nose hurt a bit and his teeth were kinda red, something that worried Alex.
" Stand up! ." shouted Alex serious, raising his voice while jay stood up and took him by his hand taking him to bed.
"stay there". He said as Jay layed down and he took some blankets and put them over Jay. "Scoot" He said menacingly as he took his pants and shirt off and lay down with him.
He looked at Jay smile a bit as he closed his eyes, he looked kinda beautiful, Alex started feeling things he was trying to bury them deep down.
He was in pain, scared, hungry and paranoid, what if he finds the operator again, what if they died there, the bed was kinda uncomfortable but he pulled the covers up his head and tried to sleep.
Jay was in the edge of the bed trying not to look and get closer to Alex but at the same time he scooted a bit towards him hoping Alex didn't screamed at him, the heat radiating from Alex body felt inviting and really comforting after what happened that day.
He really thought things were gonna be different but they had to fight and Alex was mad at him again, he hated when Alex got mad at him, he turned over to Alex and started crying, which Alex surprising hugged him and said
"shhhh..." The warmth was like everything he wanted. He didn't wanted that night to end, he didn't wanted to feel like he was dying again, he loved Alex more than anything, but was conflicted about what had happened.
He decided to close his eyes and scoot over until morning.
