Fandom Getting Out of Pittsburgh { The Last of Us 1x1 with icedthemoon }

Asher McCoy and Emmett Adler
Former Hunter, Former Firefly | 29, 21 | Current location ;; Ohio

Can you help us. Asher sneered at the words. Of course Jordan wanted the handsome new men to help them. He turned his face away so that he didn’t have to see the look Jordan gave them. He didn’t want to see the actualization of what he knew would be their downfall. He gripped his stomach tighter and used his other hand to brace the nearest wall. He clearly wasn’t going to be allowed to leave. He wouldn’t give any of them the satisfaction of him giving in. Emmett ran his hand down Jordan’s shoulder, hooking his fingers lightly around the crook of his arm to gently tug at it as he walked away backwards so that he could still face them all. “We’ve already staked this place out. Let me show you the best places.” His fingers slipped away, a faint smile courting with his lips as he snagged Cameron’s hand and walked down a hall. He looked over his shoulder, eyes sparkling with the fun in this flirtatious game. He was not always a flirt. It seemed like a waste not to entertain someone like this. Besides, he was young and playful. Asher planned on not moving from his place on the wall.

Jordan did not see a reason why they couldn't ask for help. These two did not seem like they had any ill intentions towards them and in fact they seemed quite resourceful. He watched Asher turn his face away and use his free hand against the wall. He felt the hand run down his arm and he flicked his gaze to Emmett with a grin. The tug on his arm and the words made Jordan grin more and he turned to Asher. Without asking, he walked over, shoved himself under Asher's arm and smirking, turned to face them. "Lead the way." Jordan said as Cam chuckled, holding Emmett's hand as he looked at Jordan and Asher.

He should not have been so shocked by the movement and touch, and yet here Asher was with wide eyes and frozen limbs as Jordan forced his way against him. Around him. Part of him? It was infuriating. Why was he even there? He regretted all of his decisions. Of all people, he had been swayed by a pretty face and some charming speeches. Now he was being herded by that same force and several men so young they could still be children. “I can walk myself,” he muttered, though he didn’t resist too much. He hurt, and though he would not admit it now, it was nice to have the support. It was also nice to have Jordan close. It was always better when he was close. Asher’s fury was not quelled, however. He was not sure anything could do that. Emmett clocked the cranky face but decided that he liked the way Jordan was handling his less than cordial counterpart. It seemed strange for someone like Jordan to have someone like Asher with him. “Don’t go to any of the doors leading out of the building. They’re all trapped like the one you… found earlier.” He smirked at Jordan. “Unless you want to take a swing at getting past them?” He chuckled to himself then pointed at a couple of doors that they passed. “Can’t really get into most of these rooms, because they’re blocked and all. On this floor, there’s this room over here and on the second, there’s two that aren’t so bad.” He looked at Cameron. “Wanna show them where we are?”

Jordan knew that some people needed to be.. pushed or guided into this. And Jordan was stubborn enough to do just that. He heard that muttered sentence and merely chuckled. "I know, but I like this better gorgeous." Jordan replied as he looked up at Emmett and Cameron. "I'm definitely not going to go near the doors, and the room on this floor would be better, stairs are a little.. tricky right now." Jordan said as Cameron looked at Emmett and laughed softly. "Are we inviting them into our room so soon?" Cameron asked, giving Jordan a wink who grinned and winked back. "Because we can absolutely show them where we are."
 
Asher McCoy and Emmett Adler
Former Hunter, Former Firefly | 29, 21 | Current location ;; Ohio

Asher huffed but walked with them anyway. He chose to listen instead of saying anything. What was he even supposed to say to any of this? He was considering groaning at the unnecessarily flirty comment to the man who was clearly spoken for already, glaring at the wink sent to his Jordan. His. Without meaning to, it must have been the angle that he was standing, he happened to see how Jordan grinned. How his face changed as he reciprocated with his own wink. Asher’s eyes shifted back to Cameron and followed to Emmett who snaked his arm over Cameron’s shoulder. He did this sort of double step, something like a dance move, so that he was moving faster than them in order to get in front of Cameron and around, sliding his hand to Cameron’s neck, was temporarily flush with him straight on, slid his other hand on the other side of Cameron’s neck, and for just a moment, locked eyes with Jordan. Sent this smile that was absolutely shamelessly flirting. His tongue nearly poked out between his teeth. In was only a portion of a second, because then Emmett was on Cameron’s other side, hand now on the other shoulder as he walked, though his gaze was partially with Cameron and partially Jordan. “Well, it is the room on this floor.” His words flowed from him like an aged wine they had only had the pleasure to drink once before when they found that cellar. “And how could I say no to such a charming face?” Then he winked not at Jordan but at Asher. Asher who found his gaze turning to Jordan to see his reaction.

Jordan looked at Cameron and Emmett, finding the two rather endearing and quite a pair. Especially Emmett, he certainly seemed open to the flirtatious game that Jordan loved to play. Cameron chuckled, watching Emmett do a double step and end up in front of him, which slowed Cam for a moment while he grinned himself. Jordan saw that smile, almost saw his tongue poking through his teeth and he sent one right back, a grin and a wink as they walked. His voice was beautiful as well and he saw the wink right at Asher and that made Jordan even happier. Maybe this was what Asher needed. Maybe. He looked over at Asher and grinned, winking at him too. "Charming face indeed." Jordan said as he looked at his companion as they continued on.

Asher didn’t know what he was watching. In fact, what he thought should have been happening wasn’t, and that was horrendously confusing. He was not supposed to be… intrigued? Jordan’s face twisting up into that smile. It was the smile he gave Asher. It should have made him upset that someone else got it. It should have made him jealous. And he was. He was, right? Because that only made sense. Someone else flirting with the person who made it very clear that he wanted something special. Him flirting back with that someone else. Emmett interrupted his thoughts as they slowed. He paused on the other side of a door, gesturing with a bow inside. “Our humble abode. Why don’t you take a look?” He lowered his voice, thickening it like honey. “Come in and stay a while.” Asher really wasn’t sure what to do with this.
 
Jordan DeShay and Cameron Harris
Former Smuggler, Former Firefly | 27, 20 | Current location ;; Ohio

Cameron walked beside Emmett, throwing a grin or wink over at his partner then at the pair behind them. This was definitely interesting, and while unexpected, he didn’t mind one bit. Jordan was finding these two new men to be fascinating and intriguing. He’d return each grin and wink with one of his own. When they slowed in front of a door, Jordan stepped up with Asher and took a free hand and ran it from Emmett’s cheek down his neck and grinned. “Don’t mind if we do. I think we’ll stay a little while. Right gorgeous? We can’t turn down this offer from such a handsome man after all.” Jordan said with a grin on his face.
 
Asher McCoy and Emmett Adler
Former Hunter, Former Firefly | 29, 21 | Current location ;; Ohio

Emmett snagged the hand that so freely touched him. He kept it against his body for a moment, locking eyes with Jordan several seconds, and slowly lifted it from him and readjusted so that he was holding just the fingers as he brought them to his lips. “Be our guest.” He slowly lowered the hand as he bowed, one foot far back as he moved like what Asher felt resembled a dancer or some sort of performer. In another world, perhaps the one he just barely remembered from those early years, this man could have been in the theater. His parents told stories of the shows they used to go see. The fancy regalia and the extravagant songs. Emmett seemed like just that kind of person. Asher looked from him to his own partner who was sharing their experience with him. He drew him back in with every glance and every ‘gorgeous’ he uttered. Though what really drew Asher back in was the change in demeanor. Jordan was always compelling. He was always fascinating. He was so much more than some charming or pretty or handsome face. This was like they flipped a switch. He has so much confidence. It flowed from him, and Asher could not stop looking. When he looked at Emmett, it was similar. The more Jordan played, the more he seemed to create something in Emmett, which in turn made him reciprocate, which only exacerbated everything in Jordan. Emmett pushed open the door and waved them inside. It was a pretty basic room honestly. It had a lot of things shoved against one wall in the back. There was a single large window that was boarded up. A large section of the floor was cleared out so that they could set up their little camp. It wasn’t much, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t pretend. Emmett loved a good game of pretend.
 
Jordan DeShay and Cameron Harris
Former Smuggler, Former Firefly | 27, 20 | Current location ;; Ohio

Jordan felt Emmett snag his hand and he watched him with amused eyes and a smirk on his face. That smirked morphed into a grin as he felt the fingers on his hand lift and was pressed to his lips. He winked and chuckled, feeling his hand lower as he watched Emmett bow, and saw that foot go back. What a showman. He was definitely a showman. Jordan chuckled again, a low deep sound. "Don't mind if I do beautiful." Jordan said as Cameron loved every second of this little connection between Emmett and Jordan. He loved seeing his partner when he was in his playful performer mood, and seeing the two of them go back and forth was fascinating. Finally once Emmett pushed open the door, Jordan was moving inside with Asher, looking around the little camp. "It's nice, cozy and looks quite comfortable." Jordan said, looking around.
 
Asher McCoy and Emmett Adler

This was one of Emmett’s favorite games, and he loved games. He loved playing pretend. When he was a young boy, he was always running around pretending to be something else. He hardly had time to be Emmett, and really, for a long time, he didn’t know who Emmett was. Was he the confident young man who was happy to flirt? Was he a reserved student still in the throes of learning? Was he the good soldier who would do whatever it took to defend his home? He didn’t know, and even now, he was not sure. Cameron was so helpful with that grounding. He reminded him that he did not have to be anything that someone else wanted him to be. He also loved games. That was what drew Emmett to Cameron. As they moved inside, Emmett turned his attention completely and pulled Cam in for a large hug. No reason. Asher walked alongside Jordan, still at a loss for what to do or how to feel. The hand on his stomach had slackened so much that it was practically not even holding it anymore. The pain was still there, but his mind was elsewhere. It was on Jordan mostly. He wanted to ask a question. Several really. He was not sure how though. So instead he plopped himself down on the ground in this camp.
 
Jordan DeShay and Cameron Harris
Former Smuggler, Former Firefly | 27, 20 | Current location ;; Ohio

Cameron loved watching Emmett play pretend, to play games. He was always there to help ground him and remind him to be who he wanted to be. He smiled at the large hug from his partner and he hugged him back. He never minded the affection, from hugs to kisses, and he loved seeing how Emmett was around others, seeing him playing around. Jordan watched the two and chuckled, before he saw Asher sit down on the ground. "Alright, so what are two handsome men like yourself up to? Just traveling or headed anywhere interesting?" Jordan asked as he stood near Asher, watching the two men with a warm smile.
 
Asher McCoy and Emmett Adler
Former Hunter, Former Firefly | 29, 21 | Current location ;; Ohio

When he woke up this morning, Asher hoped that they would find something interesting, though he never would have imagined that it would have been this. This. What was this? He scooched himself back until he was leaning on something to keep himself from falling. He peered up at Jordan, more interested in watching him than anything else. It was amazing that someone could be so fascinating. Cameron, as much as he liked the game that he was playing with these new people, was not sure how much he trusted them. There was not much to tell, but he was not willing to give that up quite yet. First impressions were important and also very well could have been a lie. Still attached to Cameron, Emmett leaned back, arm tightening to held him up as he looked at Jordan. “Just passing through. What about you? What’s a dynamic duo like the two of you doing in a place like this?”
 
Jordan DeShay and Cameron Harris

Jordan looked at Emmett as he heard his question and grinned. "We're just traveling west, checking out the states." He said, winking at Emmett and Cameron. He looked over at Asher, with a grin as he looked back at Emmett. "And this is the first city we've seen since we started our journey." Jordan added, watching the two men. Cameron chuckled as he nodded, noticing that he was still attached to Emmett, and he was happy. He loved his partner, though he looked past at at the man sitting behind Jordan. He saw him looking at Jordan like he was fascinating and wonderful. Hmm. Interesting.
 
Asher McCoy and Emmett Adler
Former Hunter, Former Firefly | 29, 21 | Current location ;; Ohio

Asher’s awareness of the other two was minimal at the most. He was aware of Emmett only in that he was aware of Jordan speaking to him. He was aware of Cameron even less and only in that he was attached to Emmett. Never before had anything confused him or maybe fascinated him like Jordan did. He leaned back at little more, trying to get comfortable, though there was only so much with where he wound was. He put one hand behind him, using that as stability. He consciously moved his attention away. To the other two who were there. Emmett nodded like this information was interesting, and it was. “Ah, first city. How fortuitous that you met us.” He grinned wide, smiling with all of the charm of a 21 year old who could have been a theater kid in another life. “Isn’t that exciting, babe?” He gently pushed a a handful of hair behind Cam’s ear. “Where are you lovelies from if you don’t mind my asking.” Asher trusted literally no one, even if these people were interesting and not at all doing what he thought that they would. He did trust Jordan though, despite his better judgment he supposed, and left that up to him to answer.
 
Jordan DeShay and Cameron Harris
Former Smuggler, Former Firefly | 27, 20 | Current location ;; Ohio

Jordan looked at Emmett, watching him with Cameron and he grinned back, seeing that grin on his face. "Yes, fortuitous indeed." Jordan replied, biting his lip as he looked at the two. Cameron looked at Emmett, a soft smile and light blush on his face at the gentle push of hair behind his ear. "It's very exciting love, we haven't seen anyone in a while." Cameron said with a smile. Jordan looked back at Asher, and then to Cam and Emmett at the question. "We're from Boston." Jordan said, which was a half lie and half truth. He didn't know these men and he wasn't about to mention Pittsburgh, just in case. Cameron blinked as he heard that and tilted his head. Boston. His mind drifted to his old friend Nate who said he was in Boston often. "Did you know any fireflies there?" Cam asked, tilting his head. "Um. I met Marlene once or twice when I was with my mentor, but I don't usually ask names." Jordan said as Cam nodded, figuring that the likelihood that Jordan knew his old friend was low.
 
Asher McCoy and Emmett Adler
Former Hunter, Former Firefly | 29, 21 | Current location ;; Ohio

Boston. Asher almost laughed at that. He wasn’t from Boston, but there wasn’t any reason not to say anything about it. Jordan clearly made an effort not to include the potentially hazardous place that was Pittsburgh. He knew about the Fireflies of course. They tried to help overthrow FEDRA once upon a time. It didn’t work. Besides, the people of Pittsburgh knew enough to do it without the help of some wannabe heroes. He decided that he could be from Boston for now as well. Emmett was intrigued. “Right. Cam, that’s where your buddy was from, right? Um… oh shoot, I’m sorry I forgot his name. I never met him.” He shrugged. “Anyway, so you’re not fireflies obviously. Don’t blame you for getting out of a QZ.” He stretched his arms up and bent backwards into a full back bend as he stretched. Asher cocked one brow as he watched. What had he gotten himself into? It occurred to him that these were the kinds of wandering people that he would have caught if he were still in Pittsburgh. He wasn’t sure how he felt about that.
 
Jordan DeShay and Cameron Harris

Jordan looked at the other two as he tilted his head, listening to Emmett. He wondered who Cameron's buddy was, and if he'd know him. Probably not if he was a firefly but maybe. He did smuggle for them too. Cameron looked at Emmett and nodded. "Yeah, uh Nathaniel." He replied, looking at Jordan who shrugged. "Yeah, we aren't fireflies. We were smugglers." Jordan replied, which made Cameron nod as he heard that, though Jordan's eyes were on Emmett and his stretch, a smirk on his face. "So, where are you two handsome men from?" Jordan asked, watching them with a curious expression on his face.
 
Asher McCoy and Emmett Adler
Former Hunter, Former Firefly | 29, 21 | Current location ;; Ohio

Emmett, from in his back bend, hummed. “Smugglers.” He lifted one leg up. “Bad boys.” Brought that leg so that he was close to needing the other leg before he could walk the legs over. His eyes found Jordan’s watching. “We like a bad boy.” He winked and then threw his legs over his body and eventually rolled himself up to a standing position. It may have been a bit of playful showing off but it was also a very good stretch at the beginning. “California,” he finally answered. “San Francisco specifically. Well.” He shrugged as he continued his stretches, pulling his elbow across his chest. “Mostly. I was in Dallas for a while and was transferred up to San Francisco.” Asher sat silently as he watched, his body having relaxed a modicum.
 
Jordan DeShay and Cameron Harris
Former Smuggler, Former Firefly | 27, 20 | Current location ;; Ohio

Jordan's eyes were trained on Emmett, watching his leg move up as he spoke, and he watched him throw both legs over his body and eventually stand up. He couldn't help but wish he was flexible like that. But watching Emmett made up for the skill he didn't have. "California. Never been there. But my mentor came from Texas. His brother was in the Fireflies, I wonder if you knew him. Uh Tommy?" Jordan figured it wouldn't hurt to bring him up. What was the worst thing that happened? He didn't know him. Oh well. Cameron was enjoying this little show, watching Emmett stretch. "Best thing the Fireflies ever did was transfer you to San Francisco my love." Cam commented as he leaned back against the wall.
 
Asher McCoy and Emmett Adler
Former Hunter, Former Firefly | 29, 21 | Current location ;; Ohio

Emmett let his elbow go and let himself twist and twirl all the way around like he was a wind-up doll. He shot his leg out to the side to catch himself so that he was facing Cameron. “I agree.” He brought his fingers to his lips and blew a kiss to him. He lifted a leg and shot it out and around so that the momentum spun him again, shoving it down at the right moment to be facing Jordan and Asher. His hands sat on his hips which made him stand up straighter. “Hmm, I knew a Tommy once a long time ago. I’m not sure if he’s the one you mean. That part of my memory is fuzzy. I was pretty young.” He smiled. “Still am.” He pushed one foot out so that he could straighten in, bend the other, and lean backwards, hands still on his hips as he looked down. He swapped to the other side. “What did you smuggle, bad boy?” Asher, who was not nearly as enthralled by the performance as Jordan, felt that this was definitely something he could not answer even if he wanted to.
 
Jordan DeShay and Cameron Harris
Former Smuggler, Former Firefly | 27, 20 | Current location ;; Ohio

Cameron grinned at the kiss blown to him and winked at him, watching him as he continued to move around. Honestly, Cameron could watch Emmett all day and never get tired of it. Jordan hummed softly as he watched the two, his eyes following every move, every twist and lift. "I didn't know him honestly. I just heard about him from Joel." Jordan shrugged as he chuckled, hearing him. "Yeah, you younger men. So much more agile than us." He said, watching him. "We smuggled anything and everything. From guns, to explosives, to simple things like I smuggled spray paint once. That was hard to find. If someone wanted to pay for it, it would be found it and smuggled in."
 
Asher McCoy and Emmett Adler
Former Hunter, Former Firefly | 29, 21 | Current location ;; Ohio

Guns, explosives, and spray paint. Mm, that did sound like Jordan. Asher smirked at the answer, amused by what it was that they smuggled. He leaned back, relaxing just a little more. Emmett nodded. “Huh, interesting. So you’re a resourceful guy. A good one to know.” He spun around, doing almost some sort of ballet move where he bent his leg around and eventually found himself sitting on the floor. “That is very good to know indeed.” He stretched his arms up high and let himself fall all the way back on the floor. “Even if you are old.” He smiled to the ceiling. Asher actually puffed a laugh. Sure. Old.
 
Jordan DeShay and Cameron Harris
Former Smuggler, Former Firefly | 27, 20 | Current location ;; Ohio

Jordan looked back at Asher, seeing him relaxing a little bit and grinned at him before turning back to Emmett. "I try my best to get what people want or need. Even if they don't quite know it yet." He replied, glancing back at Asher again and winking. His head turned back around as he heard that comment and snorted a laugh, about the time he heard a puffed laugh from behind him. "Well, better be careful there youngster, age comes for us all." He replied, chuckling as Cameron laughed, shaking his head and grinning. "Yes but we may grow old, but we don't have to grow up right baby?" Cam asked, looking at Emmett.
 
Asher McCoy and Emmett Adler
Former Hunter, Former Firefly | 29, 21 | Current location ;; Ohio

Asher loved every time Jordan turned to him to wink. To make a face. To include him. It was like he was in on some sort of joke, and maybe he was. He knew that the first comment was definitely about him, and though it probably should have made him angry that someone would be so presumptuous about him, it really didn’t. Not when it was coming from Jordan. For the first time, he did not feel like he should be jealous of whatever flirty thing Jordan was going to do with whoever came by. It was strange to him. He grew up with his parents who were devoted to one another. They preached being each other’s one and only. Could Asher still be Jordan’s one if not his only? Emmett chuckled as well. “Oh no baby. We are never growing up.” He hopped onto what might have been an old desk now on its side. He reminded Asher of the old story about Peter Pan, the boy who never wanted to grow up and was always running around and showing off his gymnastics abilities. That was who Emmett was. Peter Pan. “And we shouldn’t have to! When you grow up, then there’s no more fun. There’s no more pizazz. How does anyone live like that?”
