Yeah. Officers could be the worst. It was so hard for Asher now that he knew someone who was an officer once. It was like that role in his mind was wavering. He could not comprehend it. He pushed aside the confusion and pointed to the last door. “What do you think is in there? If they had yet another kid, I am going to be highly impressed with these people. I don’t think I could even raise one.”

Kaleb looked at the door as Asher pointed to it. “It could be a kids room or their parent’s room.” He said as they stopped in front of the door. He opened the door and looked in. A large master bedroom was revealed and he looked around. Once again the room was left like it was lost in time. “Yeah. The parents room.” Kaleb confirmed as he went to move inside, curious to check it out.​

“And they had the bedrooms downstairs. That is a lot of bedrooms. That is at least five people.” Asher too moved into the room. He scanned quickly to make some assumptions. “Six.” He pointed to a photo that was clearly an older couple on the nightstand. “That was probably them. If we look around, we might even be able to find a picture of the kids.” He started on the left, looking at the dresser. “Actually, I guess one of those rooms down there could have been a guest bedroom. Still could be five.”

Kaleb looked at him and thought for a moment. "Maybe they were aiming for another kid? Or wanted to have enough bedrooms just in case." Kaleb said, as he looked at the photo. They seemed so happy and he sighed softly as he walked further inside the bedroom and checked out the dresser to the right, but there was nothing really worth it.​

Asher opened up a few drawers and other than a couple of little things, it seemed that this place was clean of anything that could be useful. He assumed that people had already come through and taken things, especially since this was towards the edge of the city. Plenty of people might dip their toes in for supplies and then head around it. “Big happy family. Think you would ever be for one of those? You, your partner, and a whole bunch of other people? I don’t know if I could handle that. I can barely handle Jordan on his own.” He smiled at the teasing jab.

Kaleb looked at Asher when he heard him, and tilted his head a little bit. "I don't know. It's not entirely possible unless we find more survivors to join us." Kaleb admitted, his eyes dimmed a little bit. "But if we're together, we can always shove those two on their own and still have a big happy family." Kaleb added with a laugh, hearing that teasing jab at poor Jordan. "Could be something, a dream maybe." He added, sighing softly. "Speaking of, we should go check on our wounded huh?"​

What an interesting answer. Asher found himself kind of staring or analyzing the man he traveled this house with a bit of amazement. Those words resonated somewhere inside of him, and he was not sure he was ready to understand why. He moved back to Kaleb’s side and took his hand again. Squeezed it. Really drew attention to that, because he liked having it in his. “I agree. We probably should make sure they haven’t done something stupid without us.” He started walking back out along with him, thinking some more, and decided that life was too short not to say something. “So, you would want to stay around us? A big happy family of four?” And he didn’t ask the question that he meant the most.

Kaleb looked at Asher when he took his hand, and Kaleb squeezed it back, smiling wide. He laughed, wondering just what would've happened while they were gone. Had one gone to join the other one? Who knows with their two men. He started walking back as well, and the heard his question. "Yeah. I would want that. A big happy family, the four of us. And who knows who we could meet along the way." Kaleb said as they came to the stairs. He took a deep breath and looked at Asher. "Same way going down as we went up?"​

There were a lot of things going on in Asher’s mind as they made their way to the stairs. He could see a world where it was the four of them. He could see traveling to the next town to set up camp with each of them. He could see how it might be to fall asleep knowing that they would have more than just two when they woke up. He loved Jordan. There was no question about his love for Jordan, but right now, he wasn’t sure how he felt about Kaleb, and that was confusing. But not as confusing as how it had been when he first met Jordan. That was certainly a wild ride. If Jordan got to have people like Carlos, could Asher also have people like Kaleb? “You try moving down those steps, and I will be right here when you need me.”

Kaleb looked at him as they got to the stairs. He could only imagine what was going on in his companion's head honestly. He put his foot down on the first step and followed it with his bad leg. Then he did it again, another step down. He made it halfway before he paused to breath, hand going out to hold onto Asher's arm. "I just need your arm as a little stability and I should be able to make it the rest of the way with that." Kaleb said, looking at Asher with a soft smile on his face.​

Asher distracted his thoughts with Kaleb. He watched him as he moved down. Really paid attention to how his leg wanted to work. He moved so that his arm was where Kaleb needed it to be. “Then you can have it.” He smiled too, small but warm. “I know you can make it. You’re that kind of person.” He matched Kaleb’s movements so that he was always exactly where Kaleb needed him to be. His thoughts ran to the men they left downstairs, and he wondered if one of them had decided to wander to the other. He felt like he would not be surprised if they found them together. Or perhaps he would not be surprised if they were still out cold.

Kaleb smiled at Asher, seeing that small yet warm smile on his face. "Thanks." He said with a grin as they matched movements and he made it to the bottom of the stairs. Kaleb knew that Carlos was most likely still out cold, but he wouldn't be surprised if he woke up and crawled into bed with Jordan. Those two were something else. "Shall we go see what our men have gotten up to since we've been gone?"

Meanwhile, at some point Jordan had woken up and he didn't enjoy being lonely, so he slowly made his way out of his room and entered Carlos and Kaleb's, laying down on the bed and curling up close to Carlos before he proceeded to pass out again.​

When Carlos suddenly had a buddy like a barnacle behind him, he woke up exactly long enough to cuddle like they were one beautiful mass, be about a thousand times happier that he had someone with him, and then passed out again. He was a simple man. Asher gave him a firm nod. “I am sure one of these rooms is going to be empty.” As they walked down the hall, he looked at the open doo that used to house Jordan. He slipped away from Kaleb and looked inside. “Yep. Empty. I told you.” He grinned as he took Kaleb’s hand again and walked to the next room where he paused the door open and smiled at the two curled on the bed.

Jordan had felt Carlos cuddle him, and then he passed out once more. Kaleb chuckled hearing that and nodded. "I'm sure." He said, following Asher to the first room and he watched him slip away only to find an empty room. Kaleb shook his head, and sighed as he felt Asher take his hand. He followed him to the other room and tilted his head slightly at the two curled on the bed. "What an adorable pair don't you think? We have good taste in men."​

Asher laughed as he looked at the two men. They were both highly attractive, and he had to admit that he did like seeing them together. “You are not wrong. They do look like they belong together like that.” He grinned. “So, what do we do about this adorable pair that we’ve found? We could wake them up. Join them.” He shrugged as he looked at Kaleb.

Kaleb smiled and chuckled softly, shaking his head a little bit. "Hmm. Perhaps we should join them. They don't need to be awake yet." Kaleb said, moving into the room, letting go of Asher's hand. He slowly climbed on the bed behind Carlos, tucking himself into his back before he looked at Asher with a smile and a gesture of his head to join them.​

Asher watched this with an affection he didn’t know he could have. Or at least not that much. “Alright, I’ll bite.” He smiled as Carlos readjusted in his sleep to steal one of Kaleb’s legs with his own. That was pretty cute. He climbed onto the bed and wedged himself between Jordan’s arms, snaking through until he was the little spoon for him. He slid his hand along Jordan’s until their fingers were laced together. All four of them cuddled onto a bed was goofy but also one of his favorite things now.

Kaleb felt the leg steal his own and he simply pressed closer to his love. Jordan felt something wedge between his arms and he readjusted himself to wrap his arms tightly around Asher, feeling fingers interlace as he pressed his face into the back of Asher's neck, taking in the scent of his love. Kaleb pressed his face to Carlos' back and wrapped an arm around him and holding him like a slightly shorter big spoon.​

This was where they stayed for a while. The four of them nestled onto one bed. It really was the way that they all wished they could be more often. Or at least the way that Carlos and Jordan likely wanted to be. Or maybe even Asher a little too. He felt so real with this group. Like this was who they were supposed to be. He might have thought this was silly or ridiculous, but that was how it happened with Jordan too. Fast and beautiful. He laid there until he just couldn’t take it anymore. He moved a little and whispered, “okay, is anyone else awake?” Carlos, still asleep, did not answer.
​

Kaleb and Jordan were both happy where they were. Jordan was still passed out and dead to the world really, and he probably wouldn't wake for a bit. Kaleb on the other hand was about half awake, and he blinked, hearing Asher's words. He shifted and lifted his head to it rested on top of Carlos and he could see Asher a little bit. "I am." He said softly. "Carlos isn't." He added with a quiet chuckle.​

Why was he not shocked by this? Of course it was just him and Kaleb again. Asher twisted around and lifted his head to be onto top of Jordan. “These boys really could sleep forever, couldn’t they?” He ran a hand through Jordan’s hair. “They’re lucky we love them so much.” He bent down and kissed Jordan’s cheek before joining Kaleb again. “At this point, we might as well give them the rest of their day.”

Kaleb chuckled softly, looking at Asher and nodded. "They really could." He agreed, shifting so he could cross his arms on top of Carlos and set his chin on his arms. "They certainly are." He added, smiling at Carlos as he also ran a hand through Carlos' hair. It was so thick and he could only imagine what it was like clean. Jordan shifted at the kiss, opening his eyes half-way. "Hey there gorgeous." He whispered as Kaleb smiled. "Maybe they'll wake themselves up." Kaleb said amusement in his voice.​

Asher changed his attention to Jordan as he started to wake up. “Hello sleepyhead.” He stroked his cheek, tracing smile lines. “You ready to get up now?” The movement and sound from around them eased Carlos from his slumber. He too started to shift, and instead of saying something adorable like Jordan, he yawned so big and audible that it was like they were moving an inanimate object. Asher laughed. “At least you’re still human unlike him.” ​

Jordan smiled at the stroke to his cheek as he looked at Asher. A yawn escaped him as he stretched in place. “Mm. Maybe. This is pretty comfortable though.” Jordan said quietly. Kaleb heard Carlos yawn and he felt a big smile on his face. “Morning love.” Kaleb said softly, leaning up and kissing Carlos’ cheek. Jordan chuckled as he heard Asher and looked at Carlos. “But he’s adorable human or not.” Jordan said, one hand rubbing Asher’s side and the other going to run through Carlos’ hair, his hand brushing against Kaleb’s who drew it back and blushed, looking away.​

Asher looked from Jordan to Carlos and then Kaleb and that cute little blush. He knelt down and nestled his head into Jordan’s neck. “Your adorable self will suck me back in, and then we’ll just waste away.” Carlos thought that was a great idea and reached up to grab Kaleb and pull him down with him. He would never get to keep him there, but he was happy to try. He smiled. “I am adorable, aren’t I?” he asked with a sigh and another yawn. He would have done something to Jordan, but his hands were full trying to keep Kaleb with him. ​
