Thread: What Do You Fear? [randomname98766789 and Amaranthine]

It felt surreal. Waking up, Bryce opened his eyes and what was the first thing he saw? It was Alicia Clark, her faces inches away from his. Even in the early morning, those green orbs were shining bright and full of life. Unable to even formulate words right now, Bryce gently lifted his right hand, placing it onto Alicias face. He gently started stroking the girls cheek before cupping it and pulling her head down for a peck kiss. However, after the peck kiss, Bryce decided that was not enough. The world now saw the dead rising and walking the lands. If you were going to kiss someone, you might as well go all the way. Sitting upright, Bryce pulled Alicia even closer so their lips could touch again. This time, his tongue pressed against her mouth, rubbing against her bottom lip before attacking her upper lip soon after. He allowed their tongues to dance together and battle for a few moments before pulling back. Now that was one hell of a way to get a good morning kiss. Good morning, Princess. Bryce finally answered, pushing himself up to sit onto the edge of the bed. If he was not careful, Bryce would have lay in bed all day and night long with the girl that he loved. Alright, lets get moving and see what everyone else is doing. Travis and Madison were already preparing to head out. Apparently, Chris was already gone so Travis needed to search for him. The poor kid was still slowly deteriorating. Bryce felt like he could relate to Alicias step-brother. Even though they lost their mothers under significantly different circumstances, but by similar means, Bryce felt bad for him. Nonetheless, he pushed the negative thoughts out of his mind and just grabbed Alicias hand. I dont know what else we can do around the house. I think we should head up to the ranger station. There could be some supplies that can help us. There was a chance some of the food storage was still in tact. Maybe they could find a weapon or two. Maybe there were clothes to take. Bryce figured it was best if they explored together. After waiting for Alicia to either confirm or deny, Bryce and his girlfriend informed Alicias mother of their destination. After telling them to be safe, Madison went off on her own to find Melissa. Meanwhile, Bryce walked with Alicias hand in his own towards the station. They started to search and funnily enough, he found a notebook and a pack of markers. It looks like I know someone that might want this to pass the time. Bryce loved Alicias artwork. She was so damn talented. When they left her home, they did not exactly have the time to grab her art supplies since that was not quite as important as food and water. But now, he found this for Alicia to use so he held it out to her with a big smile on her face. I love watching you draw. Bryce added, hinting that he would like to see something now even something simple. ----------------------- That night, Nick decided to go lounge around on the deck. Besides, he was losing his mind alone in a room with four walls. He hoped being outside and in the air would help him feel better. However, it appeared his sister had a similar idea. Of course, being the protective big brother, Nick first wondered if Bryce and Alicia had gotten into a fight or something. Was she coming here to cool down? Nick quickly decided that was not the case. Ever since Bryce and Alicia had admitted their feelings for each other, Nick saw this new glow on Alicias face. It was still there, so he figured it was not a relationship problem. Instead, they just talked for a bit. They did not have any particular subject they kept in mind and it was nice. Nick had missed just talking with Alicia. He missed so much in her life and he regretted it. Hopefully now, he had more than just a reason or two to change that fact. When Alicia left, he had to admit that he felt jealous. Jealous because she was going back to a room with someone she loved. She was going to hold Bryce in her arms and vice versa. And damn, if Nick did not want exactly that. Many nights, he and Anna passed out in each others arms. Sometimes, they just passed out soon after a rough sex session or after spending time just quietly cuddling. It was ironic how when the only thing he should care about was surviving, he started to care about living. He felt alive back then and he was a moron to think it was only the drugs. Anna did something to him, something that nobody had ever done before. It was likely nobody would ever do this to him ever again. Unfortunately, he was still alone and he did not have anyone to comfort him. He tossed and turned all night before leaving his cabin early the next morning. Of course, the one person he did not want to see was in the area where he was headed. Anna. Nick grabbed a granola bar quickly and averted his eyes. They were alone so the tension was thicker than ever before. Morning. He greeted coarsely, hoping to avoid any altercation. Madison and Travis were getting ready to head inland while Bryce and Alicia had just headed out on their own.
