Jordan looked at her, smiling at him as he pulled out a can of beans. He handed Asher a spoon and then nodded. "A good cuddle sleep makes everything better, and beans just make everything even better." Jordan said as he opened the can and took a bite. "So relax gorgeous, enjoy dinner and then we can take a well deserved rest."​

Asher laughed. He actually laughed at that. “I like your attitude towards beans. Is that just your attitude towards everything? Because I have yet to find anything- except Darling and she makes everyone want to murder so I am not holding that against you – that really doesn’t do it for you.” He took the spoon and took his own bite. “Beans and cuddles are clearly on similar levels.”

That laugh right there was perfect to Jordan, his smile wide as he heard it. "Meh. I have a few things that don't do it for me. Like Darling, Infected, and anyone who tries to hurt other people." Jordan said, and he knew what he said, but he also knew that Asher did not fit into that category anymore. "Cuddles are still far superior to beans." He added, taking a bite of the beans once more. "And no gorgeous, before you say anything, you aren't in that category of people hurting other people." Jordan said with a wink.​

Asher rolled his eyes. Of course he fit into that category. He was exactly who fit into that. “I have literally killed numerous people since I met you. Threatened others. Hurt them in ways that would make them not question my authority. You and that charm can wink at me all you want, but you cannot deny the fact that you do in fact like someone who does in fact hurt other people.” It as literally what he did. It was his best skill.

Jordan raised an eyebrow as he listened to him and chuckled a little bit. "True, but you aren't doing that anymore because you're out of that city." Jordan said, shrugging his shoulders as he smiled over at Asher. "And you have me, so you are already better than the others in that category. Like FEDRA or even some Fireflies." Jordan added, taking a final bite of his beans and cleaned his spoon and put it away.​

Interesting way to twist the conversation. People in the hurt other people category include FEDRA and Fireflies. Asher was less familiar with the Fireflies, but he knew FEDRA. He knew them well. He did not like being compared to them, but he knew it was true. He was comparing them before. That was why he was not so much in the best graces of his superiors. Or those who were his superiors. “Who’s to say that I won’t hurt anyone else just because I left that city? How do you know it was the city and not just me? I could be that kind of person.” And he was. He used to love what he did. It brought him power. It brought him satisfaction. “How do you know I won’t hurt you?”

Jordan adjusted himself as he looked at Asher with a smirk on his face. "Because you've changed. I remember what you looked like when I first showed up, that gun aimed at my face. And I see you now. You have changed, slightly. But it's there. And I know you won't hurt me gorgeous. I trust you." Jordan replied, taking his spoon as well and putting everything away in his pack. He wrapped an arm around Asher and looked at him, kissing the side of his head. "So, are you ready for cuddles?"​

Changed. Had he really changed that much in a few days? Maybe. He did feel different. Clearly. He did not shoot him like he should have. That was a sign of something anomalous. Asher watched as his companion put the spoons away. Came back. He looked down as his body suddenly was very aware of the arm that held him together. That was how it felt. Like he might fall apart if Jordan moved away. He swallowed as lips touched him. Closed his eyes. Cuddles. Such a silly thing to talk about with some guy who- who. Some guy? Some? He turned to face him, and they were so much closer than he was expecting. So close he could just- Stop. No. Didn’t he decide this was a bad idea? Well, why not? What else were they going to do out in the middle of a whole bunch of trees with animals that looked like they could murder him? What did he have to lose? Everything he had left. This was going to hurt when he was proven right. When Jordan came across the next person who called gorgeous and flirt with. Cuddle with. When he opened them, Jordan was there looking just as tempting as ever. Not just gorgeous. Beautiful. Handsome. All the words that talked about the best parts of people. With that smirk and the promise of knowing who he was. It felt so much like that was for him. So he took it. He kissed him. Again. He really could not deny the person who saved his life.

Jordan noticed Asher look down when he wrapped his arm around him. He saw how close they were when Asher turned to look at him. So close. Jordan refrained from it though, his eyes searching Asher’s. He knew he’d flirt with others but he finally found someone he wanted to be with, someone that he was falling fast for. His eyes widened as he was kissed, then he closed his eyes, hand going to the back of his head to deepen this kiss between them.​

Saved his life. Saved him from his life. Jordan came in right when he wasn’t sure what he was doing or who he wanted to be and saved him. Saved him. As Jordan kissed him, he forgot about his fears that someone was going to come in and take him away. He forgot about the fear of who he would be without Jordan, because right now, all Asher could see was him with Jordan. Sitting on a blanket in the forest. Kissing him like they were the only people in the world. And maybe they were. Maybe this was a moment created just for them. Jordan deepened the kiss and Asher met him in intensity. Drove it a little further. Took it a little farther. He really, really liked who he was when he was with Jordan. He liked how the world felt when he was there. If his stomach didn’t hurt so bad, he might have done more. He might have moved. He might have, but he didn’t. He had never been so cranky with his own body.

Jordan held the kiss when he felt Asher meet him in intensity, and then he felt him take it further. His hands shifted so he could push them over his shoulders, and pulled away enough to catch a breath. "Wow.." Jordan chuckled breathlessly. He gently pulled on Asher's body, and lowered himself to lay down at the same time. Jordan's goal was to lay down with Asher on top so that he could use him instead of the forest floor like he'd teased him about earlier.​

Asher was thinking a much stronger word as his breath came rushing back to him like he was fighting for his life. He opened his eyes long enough to look at the man who turned his whole world upside down. This handsome man who already meant something more than Asher was willing to admit, because if he did, then he would have to accept the part where it was going to hurt so much more when they found the next beautiful man for Jordan to seduce. Just like Asher. It was such a big fear, and that was something he was only just realizing. It was a real, honest to goodness fear. He could not let himself get hurt like that. But just as he was deciding that he was going to move away from this inevitable bad, they were moving, and suddenly he was on top of Jordan, their bodies so very much touching. Laying down in a forest. “I can lay on a blanket and the floor, you know.” There was no bite in his words like he meant. He was too busy wishing that they were kissing still. His own body and mind were working against him.

Jordan looked at him, seeing their eyes locked and then he pulled him down. He hadn't thought that Asher was going to move away and he just wanted him closer. His arms wrapped around him and looked up at him. "I'm sure you could, but why would you when you can cuddle and lay on me?" He asked, his hand moving up to rest on the back of Asher's head, fingers curling into his hair. He pressed gently on the back of his head and leaned up, aiming to kiss him again, just as deeply as before.​

Their lips were tightly pressed together again, and all Asher could think to do was kiss him. Everything else was gone from his mind, because somehow, amazingly, Jordan shoved that part of him away. No more practical thinking. No more strategy. No more worry about animals in the forest who were going to stomp them and run them through with large antlers. It was just them on this blanket, and the desire Asher could not describe. He wanted to do several things. Say several things. His eyes shot open and he pulled himself away by inches. What was he doing? “Is this what you do with every guy you travel with through a forest?”

Jordan loved this, kissing Asher was unlike any other kiss he'd ever had. And Jordan had, had a lot of them over his life. He didn't want the kiss to end, and he wouldn't have ended it quite that soon until Asher pulled away a few inches. Jordan blinked, bringing his senses back as he looked at him. "Mm. No. I've never done this with another guy traveling through a forest." Jordan admitted as he looked at him, trying to figure out what was happening. "We should.. get some rest." Jordan finally said, quietly.​

He almost laughed. Almost, because this was ridiculous. Almost, because that would be admitting to something he was trying to avoid. Something he was afraid to see. Afraid because of what was inevitably to come after that. He knew how this worked. He had seen it before. That did not, however, stop him from saying things he knew would come back to bite him in a way he could not afford. Or at least he didn’t think. “Maybe next time, I’ll open my present.” He smiled slyly before letting his side slide off of Jordan and rest on the blanket. They were still just as close. No space. Not to mention the other half of him was still firmly on top of him. His hand drew lines on his chest. His head rested on Jordan’s arm. Away but not really.

Jordan smirked as he heard that comment from Asher, and saw that sly smile. "When you're better, you can open your present." He said with a return sly smile. Jordan watched as Asher slid his side off of him but they were still close. Jordan's arm wrapped around Asher as he felt the hand drawing lines on his chest, and the head on his arm. "Get some sleep gorgeous." Jordan said, kissing the top of his head before his own shifted so he could rest it on Asher's. This was perfect to Jordan, and eventually it lulled him enough that he found himself falling asleep. "Good night Asher." He whispered as he allowed himself to drift off to sleep.​

With everything that had happened the past several days, Asher didn’t know what was going on anymore. Was he doing this thing with Jordan or not? Was it a sometimes thing? A yes thing? It clearly wasn’t a no thing since he kept kissing him. They were such good kisses, too. He didn’t have a whole lot to go off of for comparison. He had kissed a couple of people before. They were interesting in the moment. Not like this. Not like kissing what? A pro? Yeah. Maybe. That made him anxious again. Made him unsure. Remembering that this was who Jordan was all the time. It didn’t matter that it was Asher who was laying with him on the forest floor. Didn’t matter it was Asher’s head he was using as a pillow or Asher who he wrapped his arm around. He fell asleep after a long time debating the same debate that he had been for days. It was a restless kind of sleep as his body ached as it tried to heal.

Jordan smiled as he held Asher as close as he could, enjoying the closeness as he fell asleep. The night felt short as Jordan slept, dreams filtering through, some made him smile and others were more like nightmares. Losing Asher to the wound, him being shot instead of being stabbed. Jordan curled closer to Asher in the night, as if he could keep him alive in his nightmares, and use him as a grounding force at the same time. He was still fast asleep when the morning light filtered through the trees, finally getting real sleep in the early hours of the morning.​

Asher slept about as well as he always did. Which was not well. He was not shocked by this, because he never slept well. He often did not remember what kept him awake or from sleeping too long, but he knew it was bad. When he awoke, the sun had not yet risen. He was tangled in Jordan’s embrace, arms and legs alike all together like they had merged into one. They? Or maybe Jordan. It was like he had melded into Asher as they slept. He wanted to like it. He really, really wanted to like it. And oh god he did. That was the worst part. He really, really liked it. He never thought of himself as someone who would be happier with someone else. He was supposed to be so independent. But now? He didn’t know. How long could Jordan sleep? He seemed like he could be out for hours. Okay. He pulled out of Jordan’s grip enough to sit up. Enough to push away at the blankets and shirts to look at the wrap on his wound. Enough to pull it off to check it. It was doing better at least.

Jordan was fast asleep, he really could sleep through a lot. What woke him up was the person leaving his grip, pulled away from him. An annoyed and tired groan slipped out of Jordan as his eyes blinked open. Any dreams or nightmares were chased away as he looked at Asher, sitting up and checking his wound. "Morning gorgeous." Jordan said as he yawned, but he didn't move from where he was laying on his side. "How's it looking?"​

Asher McCoy

The annoyed sound was what actually got Asher to notice Jordan was not simply rolling or readjusting. Maybe he didn’t sleep for too long? Maybe he was easily disturbed in his sleep. It was too early in their travels to know something like that about a person. He looked back at his companion. “It looks like I got stabbed the other day.” He groaned because that wasn’t something that would be better any time soon and started the long process of wrapping it back up on his own. “You going back to sleep now?”
​

Jordan looked at him and snorted a laugh, shaking his head. "Okay wise guy, you know what I meant. Does it look better than it did before?" He asked, shifting so he could try and look at the wound too. "And no, I'm awake now. We should get something to eat before we move." As Jordan spoke, he pulled at his pack, grabbing the can of beans and spoons, looking at Asher with a soft sigh.​

Asher snorted. “Yeah, it looks better. But it also still looks like I got stabbed the other day.” He moved a little to test out his muscles. “Yep, that still sucks. A lot. Don’t think I will be running any time soon. Or walking quickly. Or doing anything useful at all.” He groaned as he put his hand out for one of the spoons. “Thanks.” He really wished that he could be better now, but apparently there was no healing that fast.
​

Jordan heard that snort and rolled his eyes at Asher with a sigh of his own. "You are a little ridiculous, did you know that?" He asked, watching Asher. "It's not going to be magically better after a night of cuddling." He said with a smile on his face. "You're welcome." Jordan replied, taking a bite of beans and then looking at Asher, watching him carefully as he made sure that he too could eat some beans.​
