Summary
     A well-needed break to help relieve tension.
Notes
     Inspired by cris-art. Some of the dialogue toward the end was used
     from a caption on Cris's picture found here.
Each step that was taken felt heavy and taxing. Food supplies were limited and
every place they found was decimated and ransacked. Even finding a place for
momentary rest was becoming hard these days. Billy wasn’t even sure how long it
had been since they found a quiet spot and, perhaps, he was trying not to even
think about that.
A light nudge drew his attention and he looked over at Teddy with a questioning
look. One hand pointed out to the horizon and he had to squint to see anything.
That was one thing that impressed him about Teddy, he had damn good eyesight,
which was extremely useful during a time like this.
What he was pointing at on the horizon, though, looked much like a building. Or
a house, to be exact. “Want to test our luck?” Teddy asked softly. Billy
reached over and took Teddy’s hand, squeezing softly with a nod.
As they approached, he felt his heart starting to sink. Apparently, their luck
was running out. His patience was starting to run thin from all the frustration
and hardships they’ve gone through. It was a wonder he had any sanity left.
The pair stopped at the bottom of the staircase, looking up at the half-burnt
structure. There was no way to lock themselves inside and they would be open
targets. If they stayed there, they might as well have put out a sign out
front, “FRESH ZOMBIE FOOD — ALL ZOMBIES WELCOME.”
Sinking down to his knees, he released Teddy’s hand to bury his face in both of
his hands. This wasn’t fair. Nothing in the world was fair. Perhaps he was
being childish, but even after all this time and how this had become his
reality, there were times where he yearned for the times where survival wasn’t
his main priority.
And then he was surrounded by a hug. Those warm arms pulling him into an
embrace from behind seemed to ease his concerns and fears, if only by a little.
If none of this had happened, he never would have found the love of his life.
Right now, that seemed more tragic than everything they’ve suffered through.
“We should see if there is a barn,” Teddy whispered into his ear before helping
him off the ground. “It seems like this is a farmhouse and maybe, just maybe,
it survived.” Once again, they were hand in hand and they rounded the house.
The intense relief that washed over them when they saw the semi-intact barn,
but it wasn’t a guarantee that everything would be okay inside. So, they slowly
crept to the door, peering around to check if the area was before pushing it
open. After all, it wasn’t exactly the most quiet process getting such a large
door open — which they found out a number of months earlier. That was another
story, though.
It seemed fairly secure inside, outside of the partially collapsed ceiling.
That didn’t matter, though. As long as the loft was secure and they had a
ladder to climb, that was the important part. They were more afraid of zombies
than the elements of their surroundings.
Both of them pushed the door closed and walked over to the ladder. Teddy held
out one hand and bowed slightly. “After you,” he murmured. Even after all this
time, there were things Teddy just wouldn’t stop doing.
“Such a gentleman.” Before climbing up, he planted a soft kiss on Teddy. There
was a small snicker as he began to climb the ladder and looked down at Billy.
“…What are you laughing at?” His eyes narrowed at his boyfriend.
Smiling innocently, Teddy just shrugged. “Oh, I don’t know. I might be looking
at my boyfriend’s very nice ass and legs as he’s climbing.” For that, Billy
almost felt like kicking his shoe off in Teddy’s face, but he’d let it slide.
After all, it had been such a long time since they were able to relax and have
fun like this.
Billy looked around the loft and kicked some hay to the side to clear a sitting
spot. The bag that was resting over his shoulder was discarded to the side. Now
that they were moving less, he realized just how cool it was starting to get.
“It’s going to be a bit cold tonight, I think,” he commented as he sprawled
back.
There was a soft thud as Teddy dropped the bag aside and suddenly he was in
Billy’s line of vision. “Any ideas of how we should keep warm?” A slow smile
crossed his face at the implication of the question. He watched as Teddy took a
seat next to him and slowly sat up.
“No idea…” he murmured as he shifted slowly closer. Only an inch lingered
between them as their eyes met. “I need you,” he whispered, all hints of
teasing dropping from his voice. All he craved was Teddy’s touch right now. It
ached to the point of a need.
Looking down between them, he smiled gently and took one of Teddy’s hands in
his own. The glove was tugged gently away and the scar was completely exposed
now. While there were painful memories attached, it also reminded him just how
much they made it through.
Gently, his thumb brushed over the marred skin and his eyes lifted to meet
Teddy’s gaze. “I love you, T. Don’t ever forget that.” Before Teddy had the
chance to respond, he covered his lips with a deep, but tender kiss.
As the kiss intensified, he was pressed down against the flooring of the loft.
His hand slipped from Teddy’s wrist and pressed palm-to-palm, fingers twining
together. In the past, he wondered what was so interesting about holding hands,
but now he couldn’t imagine not doing so. It was such a simple, but intimate
act.
There was a soft clattered of metal as Teddy worked to get both of the belts
open and he inhaled sharply when he felt Teddy’s still-gloved hand rub him
through the front of his pants. He was reeling and needed to catch his breath
which meant, unfortunately, breaking the kiss. “Tease…” he hissed out as his
body arched up.
“Only to the one I love.” Light kisses traced his jaw. The gloved hand was
brought up to Teddy’s mouth and it was tugged free to finally expose his other
hand. It was oddly erotic seeing Teddy tug that dirty and beaten up glove from
his hand. Odd how the thought of “kinky” changed during a time of crisis.
“I do need my hand for a moment, though.” Reluctantly, he let go to let Teddy
get ready what was needed. He watched as Teddy pulled his jacket off and tilted
his head. Suddenly, his hips were jerked up some and Teddy shoved the coat
under. “Don’t want my boyfriend literally freezing his ass off.”
Laughing some, he pulled Teddy into a quick kiss. “Now hurry up before I push
that considerate boyfriend of mine down. I need you, T.” There was a hint of a
growl to his tone as he shot Teddy a heated look to prove this wasn’t just some
idle threat.
“Then I’ll keep you busy while I get your pants off.” Two fingers were pressed
slowly into Billy’s mouth and he instinctively began to suck. While his
attention was set on those fingers, Teddy kept true to his word and worked to
get one of his legs free. First his shoe was tugged off, then the pant leg.
Teddy sat back with a look of admiration on his face, then slowly slipped his
fingers from Billy’s lips. The gaze he set on Teddy was much darker than
before, almost consumed with lust. Legs spread as Teddy reached down and he
could feel one of them teasing at his anus.
Fingers tightened on Teddy’s arm as he rocked closer. “Stop hesitating, T. Let
go. Fuck me so hard that I’ll feel this all night.” A startled, but pleased
sound came as Teddy shoved two fingers in. That stretch almost hurt, but it
felt amazing.
“Yes… Just like that,” he whimpered as his hips arched up, giving Teddy more
access. The fingers worked to spread, almost to the point where it felt like he
was being torn apart. This was exactly what he needed. Biting down on his lower
lip, he tried to focus on breathing as that seemed to be a daunting task in his
current state.
Teddy’s second hand reached to start stroking him, further distracting him from
any pain. The feelings drew out small, shuddering sounds as he squirmed under
Teddy. His cock was twitching from the strokes, leaking small amounts of pre-
cum.
Apparently the pre-cum was exactly what Teddy was aiming for as he collected
what he could and drew it off of his cock. The grin that was spread over
Teddy’s face made Billy shiver as he slicked himself up with the semi-sticky
fluid.
Truth be told, he was anything but prepared for Teddy, but he didn’t care. His
body wanted him, despite whatever pain having him inside might cause. Legs
spread a bit more, welcoming Teddy completely.
Teddy fumbled to push his pants down to his knees, almost frantic now. Watching
closely, he took in the sight of Teddy baring himself, thumbs hooked in the
pair of boxers, pulling them down with the jeans. He licked his lips just
before Teddy leaned in to push deep inside.
That sharp pain and pleasure that shocked through his body caused him to cry
out, tears moistening the corners of his eyes. If he didn’t need this so bad
and if the pleasure part of it wasn’t so amazing, he would have pushed Teddy
off of him from the pain.
Just as he was about to seek out Teddy’s hand, his boyfriend was doing much the
same and he found his hand being pinned down to the wooden planks. There was a
soft scratching from the old and slightly damaged boards and he would have to
look for splinters later. For now, he was just focused on the feeling of being
surrounded and filled by Teddy.
Each thrust felt rough and raw, but it was exactly what he needed. They hadn’t
been intimate in for such a long time that it all had come to a head and now
was exploding. His right leg wrapped around Teddy’s lower back, trying to pull
him in deeper.
One of his hands move to slip to Teddy’s head, knocking the cap aside. His
fingers gripped tightly into Teddy’s hair, grounding himself with the other man
and pulling him down into the kiss with a fierce need.
A hand began to stroke his stomach and it caused him to bite down on Teddy’s
lip. The tongue stroking his upper lip urged him to release his jaw, letting
his mouth fall open. Teddy’s head tipped to the side ever so slightly to deepen
the kiss and then he felt Teddy’s tongue brushing against his own.
At some point, without realizing it, both of them had let their eyes slip shut.
The darkness wasn’t as scary as it normally was. Not with Teddy’s strong hands
on him and the sensations coursing through his veins. All he could feel was
safe and secure right now.
It was as if their bodies were trying to meld into one. The passion coursed
between them like a heartbeat and Billy had to cling onto Teddy’s hand as if it
were his lifeline. The hand stroking his stomach set his nerves on fire. This
was exactly what he needed.
The heat was started to boil inside of him with every hard motion from Teddy
and he wasn’t sure just how much longer he could hold on. All he wanted was for
this to last forever, but all good things must come to an end, so he would
savor it as long as humanly possible.
Legs wrapped around Teddy as he was so close to actually reaching orgasm. His
boot-clad foot dug into Teddy’s thigh as his whole body tensed up. With every
thrust, Teddy’s cock pressed against his prostate, sending waves of fire
through his veins. Fingers were practically clawing through Teddy’s hair now.
Not only was his back arching up for more, his hips were rocking to meet every
thrust. As skin met skin, there was a slapping sound that echoed through the
barn. Lewd moans and grunts escaped from them both and it was impossible for
Billy to hold out any longer, completely blind-sided by a particularly hard
thrust slamming against his prostate.
The hand that had been threaded in Teddy’s hair moved down to his own cock to
help draw everything out. Toes curled as he bit down on his lower lip, small
whimpers coming out of him as his stomach and the bottom edge of his clothes
were stained with semen. He was sure there were small spurts hitting Teddy as
well.
His boyfriend kept thrusting through, even after he slumped back. Teddy was
close, he knew, so he tried to encourage him on with gentle rocks. His legs had
loosened some, but he tried to cling on as hard as he could, tightening his ass
around Teddy’s cock.
“Come for me,” he murmured out in a satisfied tone. Fingers trailed down to his
stomach that was now covered in semen and brought it up to his lips to tease
Teddy. His tongue traced lazily along to clean his hand completely.
Obviously, this was too much for Teddy to handle as Billy felt himself be
filled. Through half-lidded eyes, he was able to enjoy the sight of Teddy
coming to orgasm, every muscle in his body tensing. Every small jerk as Teddy’s
muscles spasmed were like electric shocks through his sensitive body.
Not wanting to completely crush him, Teddy quickly slid out and flopped down
next to Billy, panting hard. “Damn… that was…” Teddy’s breathy tone made him
smile wide as he moved one hand to wipe some sweat from his forehead.
“I know… I’ve never been so happy to find a fucking barn.” He laughed softly
and Teddy took his hand, cradling it in his own. They shifted closer and Teddy
slipped one arm under his head, giving him a human pillow.
Teddy’s smile was just so infectious that Billy couldn’t help but smile even
more wide. “I think after four weeks, every ‘fucking’ place would have been—”
“Wait!” He sharply cut Teddy off, sitting up with wide eyes. “Four?! It’s been
four weeks?” His jaw hung open as he stared down and that light laugh didn’t
ease him any. “Four fucking weeks…” Finally, Teddy was able to ease him back
into the cuddle.
A soft kiss was pressed against his temple as he fully settled in. “S’gonna be
cold tonight. And I noticed your ribs are starting to show more. After this,
we’ll have to find you a supermarket and raid it to give you a feast.” Teddy
moved his sleeve across Billy’s stomach to clean him up, causing him to shiver
slightly.
Smiling, he lightly nudged Teddy. “Shouldn’t that be more of a mutual feast?
It’s our anniversary of meeting soon, isn’t it?” While he wasn’t the best with
keeping up with the date, it seemed that Teddy was keeping track, for whatever
reason.
“Mm, soon. I’ll make sure to let you know.” With that, they pulled closer
together, trying to share what heat they could and Teddy groped for his bag.
Their blanket had seen better days, but at least it was some sort of cover.
“Sleep well.”
“Always with my Teddy bear,” he whispered as his eyes slipped slowly shut,
completely at peace, for once in a long time.
