loneliness is overrated [open]

Ian was trying to find some sort of safe haven, he had been roaming most of the night sinche he had been ran out of his makeshift tent by at least five walkers. He ran a hand threw his hair and smiled a little as he saw the little hospital come into veiw. A small sigh of relief washed over him and he climbed his way into it through the window.

He could hear a few low moans of some walkers as he made his way through the short halls and small rooms. As he ran into walkers, what was left anyway it looked like someone had cleaned the place out a good bit, he tore them down useing his hunting knife. He was able to find a small room that seemed relatively safe, tapping on the door to see if he heard movement. After a moment of silence he jimmyed the door open

He hadn't expected to see a familiar face passed out on the couch it made him smile none the less. Oli, he hadn't seem him since before the end, he looked good for the most part. Roughed up and possibly hungover, but he was alive that honestly was all that mattered to him. He walked over to him and sat on the ground in front of the couch, grabbing the water bottle he drank the rest and tapped the blonde on the head with it. "Rise and shine, it's the end of the world" he said in a soft tone.

Oliver Vail

Ian had been waiting for the boy to wake up, a jolt went through hs body when he did. Not just because of the brilliant blue eyes Oli had but because he found two pistols in his face. He did not move though just looked at the blonde while he tried to wake up

"yes, it's Ian, i'd ppriciate you moving your guns out of my face" he said with a playful smile. He was in the same amount of shock Oli was that he was okay, but no guns were in his face, "glad to see you're okay Oli" He said and patted the boys knee, only thing he cold reach right now.

Oliver Vail

Ian cocked his head a Olivers smiles and the way he talked now, was this because he wasn't under his dad anymore? 'I could get used to this' he thought with a sly smile. Leaning back propping himself up wth his hands behind him "Yeah I can see that" He said, trying not to laugh at how many times the boy had checked him out. Maybe he had a chance with him now.

He scoffed at Olivers questioning, he didn't know anything about Ian, it made him a little sad but it also gave him a chance to show him. "No, I've been alone most the time, I know pretty surprising right. I seemed so helpless, shallow, and too stupid to do anything" He said with a crooked smile. He sighed and closed his eyes 'get it together Sutner, you're not in danger don't put that persona onto him' He thought and open his eyes again.

His face reddned a little, Oli called him hot. He knew though he tried ot to play into that to get his way, it was nice to hear it from a boy you liked, the first  oy you liked. "The only people I had help me, were big gruff dudes and scrawny tech guys." He shrugged. "Useful cause I'm stealthy and brutal when I kill" He bit his lip. 'Stop..' He raked a hand through his hair.

He was so used to being agressive when he met people so they didn't hurt him or try to take advantage of him. He hated he was doing that to Oli though it didn't help he had pointed a gunn, no, two guns in his face. "Do you have any more water, I drank half of yours and I'm still fucking thirsty." Yep there it was, the swearing.

Cracking his neck he stood up and held a hand out to Oli, he wasn't sure why, probably to have some excuse to touch him while he acted like he was gonna help the lanky boy up. "Unless you have some kind of stash of food and water tha youre willing to share, or you know where some is I need to find something. Not only am I thrsty' Not just for the pretty blond boy in front of him but for actual water.

"I'm hungry as hell too, haven't eaten in.. shit like 10 hours?" He cocked his head again. something he had picked up while being out here in this shit strom. Another sign that he wasn't fully there besided they way hee talked sometimes and that smile he gave people.

Ian shrugged at Oli response to him saying he was stupid. "That's what I got a rep for, the shollow absent minded popular guy." He said. He was pretty used to people telling him that, hell most of the 'girls' he dated were the same way. Ian yawned and rubbed his face, he could feel the tiredness start to set in as he was talking to Oli, no sleep and very little to eat or drink was a pretty natural state now a days.

Ian smiled, Oliver didn't really seem to believe that he could be brutal or stealthy. Though Ian was sure he'd find out pretty soon. "Yeah, you'll probably see it soon if we run into some of those friendlies around here." He blinked a bit "What do you mean if I don't bite the dust first, i've survived this long and I don't plan to die anytime soon." He had to hold back some of the hurt he felt, maybe getting another chance with Oli wasn't gonna happen..

A jolt went through Ian when Oliver grabbed his hand, despite all that was goin on his hands were still kind of soft, and warm it made Ian tingle a little bit. He looked up ay Oliver when he stoodd up and smiled at him. IF he was being honest he wanted to kiss him but he wasn't sure how the blonde would react to that so he just stood there focusing on the blue of his eyes.

That moment pased all too soon because Oli had let go and walked over to the counter to get his stash. Ian would be lying to himself if he said he hadn't checked the other boys butt out when he was walking away. "You should help me because, I asked kindly. Better than most who demand it." He said sauntering over to where the boy stood behind the counter with a smile.

It was his turn to check Oliver out though he did it while he digging in the bag. His eyes followed Olivers movements as he sat the chips and water down. Grabbing the water first he took the cap of and drank a good bit of it. He sat the bottle down and wiped his mouth a little bit of the water had dripped down his chin. "Thank you." He said.

Grabbing the bag he walked back over to the couch and plopped down ad tore it open grabbing a few chips and popped them into his mouth. "You" he pointed to Oliver "are an angel sent form heaven" He said giving a big smile.

Ian snorted "You can't really hold anythinh against someone if they're dead, but like I saod that won't happe anytime soon" He in a stern tone. He was enjoying his time wth Oliver, he hadn't seen the boy in a year and a half. He was a cute as he was last time he saw him too.

Ian couldn't stop the next words that came out f his mouth. "Why don't you let me get to know you?" His eyes widened but he couldn't take it back, and he really did mean it, he wanted to get to know Oliver. Eating a few more chips he leaned his head back on the couch and sighed.

Jumping slightly he looked over at Oliver when he put his long legs in his lap. "Nah, not really youre fine." He said before looking away, his cheeks getting red. He took a deep breath and rubbed his face again. He drank the rest ofhis water and tapped Olivers knee with the empty bottle.

"How long have you been in the shit hole?" He asked looking around the hospital trying to find something ese to talk about while he tried to contain his composure

Ian rolled the chip bag up and set on the floor beside the couch laying his back again on the back he rubbed his face and shook his head trying to get the tired ness out out him. It wasn't working very well but he was trying.

He stretched putting one arm above is head and tilted it the side so he could look at Oliver. He nodded as Oliver talked watching him, it seemed a little weird the way he stared at him but he didn't say anything he kind of liked it. "Yeah they get distracted easily..." he trailed of as Oliver reached over to brush something off his face. While his hand was still there alomst refexively he nipped his thumb. Looking away as Olivers hand moved back.

Trying to refocus on what Oliver asked he shook his head. "Uh, I've been moving around trying to find somewere to stay but i've had no luck. Run out by rogues or walkers." He shrugged. "I walked from where I was about 10 hour back to here. There were some walkers on my trail but I was able to get away" He smiled "Like I said, stealthy"

Ian liked the red face reaction he got out of Oliver, he was pretty sure he just full on flirted with the blond but he didn't mind much. Ian put on a mock look of hurt "I don't stink that bad do? I mean im sweaty was hell and could use a shower but meh." He shrugged a little bit

He smiled a little and raised his brows at Olis cute remark. "You're cute all the time.. no homo" He laughed a little. At least his assumptions were correct about Oli beng gay.

Ian felt a bit of dissapointment go through him when Oliver moved to sit normal. "I planned to be here as long as you did, kinda wanted to leave when you did." He said watching the blonde. He leaned up and put a hand on his shoulder "still have a headache huh? I think I have some advil or something." He said and whipped his bag off his shoulder to dig through the pockets. "Got it"

He stood up dropping his bag and hopped over the counter to get Oliver a water to take the pills with. Humming as he came back over he held both out "Here, take this" He said crouching down in front of him.
