Jordan could almost see the conversation after he was freed and the inevitable 'I told you so' most likely sprinkled into it as well. "Well. That's kind of my thing." He said before he grinned. "And don't mind me just.. hanging around." He added, chuckling as he watched Asher step inside, with his pistol drawn. He looked around and in the doorway a shadow stood, watching them. "Uh.. gorgeous. We're being watched." He said, pointing at the doorway. The shadow ducked away, and vanished from sight before a voice laughed. "You aren't infected." It said, the voice echoing around them.​

Asher was so engrossed with making sure that another attack did not befall him that he did not react to Jordan’s words. He whipped around to see nothing in the doorway. This was what he was afraid of. Survivors. Hunters. It did not matter who they were. They did exactly what he would do. “No,” he answered. “And I presume you aren’t either.” He stood still a moment, listening. If there weren’t any more traps here, then they were not likely staying in this building. A creak from somewhere behind him. He turned that direction but did not see anything. He spared a glance at Jordan’s bindings before looking around them again. He would not be difficult to get down. He did not want to risk turning his back too long yet.​

Spoiler: Cameron

Jordan looked around to find the source of the sound and he sighed, as he felt the blood rush to his head from hanging upside down. Cameron ducked through the shadows and came around the other side of them. He was facing the black haired ones back and he undid the tie that held Jordan up. The red haired one dropped to the ground with a groan and a huff. "Ow." He said, landing stomach down on the ground and sighed. Cameron slipped out of the shadows and snorted a laugh. "Well. You two ruined my infected trap." He said, crossing his arms over his chest.​

Asher stayed where he was as Jordan dropped to the ground. He wanted to go to him, yes. He also wanted to stay alive. With the stab wound still healing, if he put himself in the wrong position, that was both of their deaths. He narrowed his eyes. “It’s not ruined. You could set that back up.” His eyes darted to the side and then back to the new person in the room. He was young. Far younger than he thought would get the drop on him. He silently cursed himself for that. “Where’s the other one?” ​

Jordan looked up from where he laid as he rolled onto his back and coughed, gaining his breath back. His body was sore. Cameron narrowed his eyes as he looked at the man before him. "What other person?" Cameron asked, not giving away the fact that his partner was around too. He didn't quite trust this man, though the one on the ground seemed calmer. "Gorgeous, what makes you think there's another one?" The man asked, shifting to sit up.​

There were only so many places in this building that someone could be with the way that it was crumbled. Especially if they were setting up traps to catch infected. This young man was outside watching. That meant the other one had to be close. Was he the one watching to make sure the trap was set? The other wouldn’t be on this floor. That would be too dangerous with infected roaming. He would higher. Without moving, he replayed the images of the building in his head. Where would he go if he was watching? Watching for his partner? Watching in case he needed to flank? Asher had to be smart about this. With his quick reflexes, he whipped around, side facing the unknown man as well as one hand with the pistol, and stretched his other arm out as far as it went, second pistol aiming up at a balcony where he could only barely see someone mostly hidden in those shadows. He had both covered now. He would not waver even that stab wound very much did not like this. “That one.”​

Cameron bit his lip as he saw that man whip around, his side facing him but he saw the pistol and he saw that he was pointing at Emmett too. "Hey, okay. You're right, there's two of us but.. we're not trouble. We've just been traveling and made this place our home for the day. We set traps at each door so we aren't ambushed by infected. Now will you lower that gun?" Cameron asked as he tried to get things calmer. "But my partner isn't coming down until you aren't aiming that pistol of yours." Cam added as Jordan groaned. "Asher! Lower the pistol. They're fine."​

Spoiler: Emmett

Did he believe this man? He was now at the wrong end of a gun. So was his partner. Their trap was useless, though now Asher knew about the ones at the rest of the doors. Good. This was information that they probably should not have shared. How very trusting. “You don’t’ know that,” he answered, trying not to sound cranky with Jordan. He was, after all, the one who decided to assume there could never be any traps or hunters despite the fact that traps and hunters were exactly how they met. “Not everyone can be charmed so easily by your pretty face.” “I don’t know. I kind of like it.” Asher’s attention snapped back up to the man who was in the shadows but was now leaning over the balcony. He opened his hands. “No threats here.”​

Jordan had managed to get to his feet, brushing the dirt off his shirt as he picked up his pack and flung it over his shoulders. He looked up at the man leaning over the balcony and chuckled, winking at him. "Oh come on gorgeous, lighten up a little." He said, smirking at Asher. Cameron looked up at Emmett too, and laughed even though he was on the wrong side of the man's pistol, Asher if he remembered what the other man said. Jordan turned to the black haired one and held his hand out. "Jordan, what's your name beautiful?" Jordan asked as Cam chuckled. "Cameron. Nice to meet you. Hey, love. Come on down!" Cam called to his partner as he looked at the other two.​

This was not how this was supposed to go. In situations like this, people did not react this way. Asher turned his attention back to Jordan who was conducting greetings like this was some sort of cordial outing instead of the very dangerous situation that it should have been. This was him, wasn’t it? It was because Asher was with Jordan. There was no way that there could be any other reason for it. “Is his name Love?” Asher asked, not bothering to hide how snide it was meant to be. He did not appreciate any of it. It was too different to what he was used to. The other one stood up straight, grabbed a low hanging cord, and in one sweeping motion, hefted himself up so that he looked like he was stepping off the top of the balcony as he swung forward and managed to gracefully lower himself enough to step away from his makeshift rope right in beside Jordan. “It could be since he calls me that enough. Wouldn’t that be the sweetest thing you’ve ever heard? So, can I see this face I’m not supposed to be charmed by?” Asher lowered both weapons since this was clearly not going the way he thought. He smirked at the question and crossed his arms.​

Jordan looked at Cameron, then at Asher before hearing the question. Cameroon laughed, hearing his question and caught the snide way it sounded. "Well that depends, is your name gorgeous?" Cameron retorted as he flicked his gaze over to see Emmett ducking into the room beside Jordan. Jordan flicked his eyes and looked at the newest member. "Well hello there. I'm the charming one of us, name's Jordan. What's yours handsome?" Jordan asked, looking at the newest member with a smile on his face before looking over at Asher. "Are you going to come join us or be Mr. antisocial gorgeous?"​

Asher grunted from exactly where he was without moving. “Love, handsome, beautiful, gorgeous.” The newest member of their crew grinned as he repeated the words almost like they were part of a song he was close to singing. His voice had an air to it. An air of poetry he always thought. “Like a prince,” he spoke like a breeze. Asher scoffed. “Emmett, though I don’t mind Handsome. Or Love.” He stayed close, inspecting that face as his hands rested on his hips. Then he stepped to the side and around so that he was beside Cameron, back facing Jordan. “Want to put this back up? Still could be useful for the night.” He flicked his gaze over his shoulder at the other. “Unless there are more of you.” Asher decided this was enough for him. He did not even look at them, because he could already see where this was going. This was what he feared.​

Jordan looked at the newest member of them and smiled, hearing that air to his voice. "Mm. I like you handsome. Nice to meet you Emmett." Jordan said as Cameron watched his partner move around to stand beside him. "Yeah, we can put it back up." Cameron agreed as Jordan shook his head. "There aren't any more of us. Just me and gorgeous." Jordan replied, walking over to stand beside Asher. "How are you feeling after all that excitement? How's the.. y'know." He said, gesturing to the stab wound. Cameron looked at Emmett and proceeded to help him set the trap back up.​

While Emmett and Cameron worked, Emmett whispered to his partner. “Do you trust them?” Emmett thought he might trust the one but not the other. He was wary, though, that this could be an act. He met plenty of people who would do what they had to in order to get what they wanted. Asher shoved one of the pistols back into its holster and looked down at his stomach. It was painful. “Fine,” he growled as an answer. He walked away to move to a wall and lean his back against it. He wanted to check to see if it was more than just angry, but he did not dare expose himself with new people.​

Cameron looked at Emmett and sighed. "I mean, I trust the red-head but I'm still wary of the other one." Cameron whispered back, as they worked on resetting the trap. Jordan stood so he was in front of Asher, blocking him from the other two. "Hey, don't growl at me, it's not my fault we found people. Now, I'm blocking you from them, so go ahead and check if you wish too." Jordan said, crossing his arms and sighing softly.​

As they finished Emmett frowned. “Is that because he’s charming?” he asked as he pretended to be worried abut that. He never had been and did not see himself ever being that worried. He loved a good story too much, and what was more beautiful than them withstanding the test of charming and beautiful men? When he looked back over, it seemed like trouble in paradise. Though Jordan may have been blocking them from Asher, but he could still see the scowl on his face. He could not hear the words, though. “I said it’s fine,” Asher snapped. “Why don’t you go flirt with your new friends? That is what you do, right?” He slipped to the side, determined to not be around when that inevitably happened. He was so angry that he let himself fall for this. He knew it was a bad idea.​

Cameron saw the frown on Emmett's face and saw him look over at the other two. Cam could see the scowl on his face and he reached a hand out to snag Emmett's chin and pulled him back towards him. "He might be charming, but I've got you love. I don't need anyone else." Cameron said. Jordan heard the snapped words and rolled his eyes, watching Asher slip to the side. "Oh gorgeous." He said softly, watching him. Jordan was torn for the first time. He never got attached, tried not to, even as he flirted with several men and women alike. But for the first time, he wanted to flirt with Emmett and Cameron, but he was also concerned and wanted to follow Asher. He stood there, stuck and confused.​

The fingers on his chin broke Emmett’s resolve to pretend. He grinned and closed the little gap between them, hooking an arm around Cameron’s back. “Oh, I know.” He flicked his eyes in the general direction of the other two. “But that doesn’t make him any less charming.” He slid his gaze back to his partner. “And handsome.” He shook his head. “You snared some beauty.” Asher was going to storm away except that hurt, so instead he moved far enough to feel separate. He checked the guns and groaned. They could use a reload and he was not feeling up to it. ​

Cameron grinned as he looked at Emmett, feeling the arm hook around his back. He looked over at the other two before looking at Emmett again. "True, very true. He is quite something. I seem to have a knack in finding people like that." He said, smiling at his partner. Jordan looked between them and then turned towards Asher and followed him. "Gorgeous, let me help you." He said softly, holding a hand out but not sure how he could help him at all.​

Emmett narrowed his eyes at Cameron but that didn’t stop him from smiling. “This is why I should be worried about all these people around you.” He put a hand on Cam’s chest. “Because you’re a cutie and a flirt. I’ve got to be careful.” He winked then stretched his arms and legs. That display earlier coming down from the balancing was fun and worth it but also a bit much. Asher did not even look at him. He couldn’t. If he did, he was going to see those beautiful eyes and forgive him. He was going to fall right back in this, and it was going to hurt so much more. He already knew it. Instead, he shoved both of the guns into the pack and turned to move away. “It’s fine. I’m going to explore this building. If they’re in it, it probably doesn’t have infected. You don’t have to worry.” He finally looked up. “Don’t follow me. Okay?” And he turned to leave, because he couldn’t be in there anymore. “Go enjoy yourself or… whatever.”​

Cameron saw Emmett narrow his eyes and he chuckled, hearing him. He smiled at the wink as well. “That may be true. But I’ve also got you.” Cameron said, winking back at Emmett. Sure these new people were interesting but he loved his partner, and he always would. Jordan looked at Asher, he heard him and sighed softly. There was no way he’d be able to enjoy himself if Asher left. “Gorgeous.. don’t go. Don’t run from me.” Jordan said, stretching a hand out to brush against Asher’s arm as he took a step towards his turning figure.​

Emmett ran a finger down Cameron's lips. “And what happens when someone else wants you? It’s not you I’m worried about.” He slid those fingers down Cam’s cheek and around his neck to the back, his other hand joining it there so that he could pull them close. “Though, I’m not too worried about some harmless flirting either. Guess I’m pretty secure in this beautiful thing we have.” He flicked his gaze behind them for a moment. “I still don’t trust the other one. I don’t know if it’s a good idea to keep them with us.” Asher’s entire body stopped moving at Jordan’s touch. No, he couldn’t let this happen. He couldn’t let a pretty face and a gently touch lead him down some path that was going to be bad for him. He should have stayed in Pittsburgh. It may have been horrible, but at least he knew how to work with that. He could still survive. Here, he wasn’t even sure he was doing that. “Lovebug…” The nickname was painful. How could he have already done this to himself so quickly? “I have a feeling you’re exactly who I should run from.” He turned and walked away. Walked because he couldn’t go any faster than that anyway. He hoped Jordan would stay there. If he followed, he wasn’t going to be able to keep up the pretense for too long. The pain in his stomach was too much for that. ​

Cameron smiled at the finger down his lips, to his cheek and behind his neck. “True. But anyone else who wants me will just have to get over it because I don’t want anyone else but you.” Cameron replied, following Emmett’s gaze for a moment. “Em. I have a feeling that these two need us. I don’t know how to explain it but I do. So what do you say?” Cameron asked, looking at Emmett. Jordan heard Asher’s words, that nickname and watched him turn and walk away. Jordan was not about to let him go, not injured like that or at all. He merely followed him, like a shadow. “Are you sure it’s me that you’re running from or yourself?” Jordan asked as he walked.​

Emmett gazed at them as well and smiled at his partner. “I think you’re right.” He hooked his finger into the collar of Cameron’s shirt and tugged at it as he started making his way to the other two. Asher threw his head around and glared at Jordan. “What is that supposed to mean?” He snapped, holding his stomach now. He had not been aware of this as he decided to go. His other hand raised to shake as he spoke. “You don’t know anything about me. You don’t know who I am or what I should avoid.” He narrowed his eyes as he saw the other two coming. He cursed under his breath. He shoved his jaw shut and refused to say anything else. Emmett just smiled and pretended like the glare wasn’t one of the most hateful things he had ever felt. He put a hand on Jordan’s shoulder. “Anything we can do to help?” ​

Cameron smiled at Emmett and felt the finger hooked into the collar of his shirt. He felt the tug and followed Emmett with a smile as they walked over to the other two. He might flirt a little with others and he’s had a few flirt with him but Cameron was in love with Emmett, had been since he met the other Firefly in California. Jordan heard the snapped words from Asher and saw him holding his stomach. Oh no. He saw the other hand raise and shake. Heard his words and sighed. Jordan then saw him curse under his breath and his mouth shut as he felt a hand on his shoulder. “Hmm. Can you help us find a spot to rest in Handsome?” Jordan asked before he looked at Asher. His stern gaze caught on him. “As for you gorgeous? You’re right. I don’t know as much about you as I’d liked but that’s something I plan on changing.” Jordan told him with a wink.​
