Was this where either Carlos or Asher thought this night was going to go? Nope. Did either of them hate that? Absolutely not. Carlos had spent the better part of two years trying to show Kaleb that it was okay to love whoever and however the heart desired. Asher had spent longer trying to be okay with love. Any kind of love. Be okay with love that bloomed, love that almost was, and love that was lost. Almost lost. Found. Carlos nipped at Jordan’s bare skin, running lips and tongue and teeth alike. He smiled uncontrollably at Kaleb who now had the same position as him. That was his beautiful blue eyes. Mm, he taught him well. Asher would agree if this were a conversation that they had. They might later. A throaty hum threatened to break through its toothy cage. Kaleb was so different to Jordan in the best way. He pulled at the fabric of his shirt to maybe help out his beau. Maybe to help out himself. He liked the touch. And maybe, just maybe, this was just the beginning of something beautiful.

Jordan hummed at the teeth and lips and tongue on his skin, and his hands ran over the fabric of Carlos' shirt, hoping to help, his eyes flicking over to Asher. He spent so much time teaching him that love was beautiful and it wouldn't end in heartbreak. And sure they'd been in a rocky patch for a while but the love was still there. Kaleb heard that throaty hum from Asher and he helped him take off the shirt as the moon rose over their farmhouse, sending moonlight through the windows as the night went on. Both Kaleb and Jordan were both asleep as the sun started rising above the fields, shining through the windows and dancing into the room.​

After such a beautiful and long night, even Asher was fast asleep as the morning sun rose around them. He was just as happily curled around his loves and Carlos who was somehow over or under literally all of them. That was because one bed was too big for just two people. Carlos was always happier with more people. He too was dead to the world. Nate on the other hand was ready to get up and do that next morning. He did not necessarily have a plan, but he thought that maybe working on figuring out how to go about surviving was probably a good choice. Seeing what food and things he could acquire and what he needed to trade for them. Though, he also woke up in Alex’s arms and that made him want to linger a little longer.

Kaleb was the first to stir, yawning as he woke up. Somehow he’d become entangled with Asher and Jordan, one arm curled around Asher and Jordan’s leg was wrapped around his. Kaleb was also wrapped around Carlos too and a smile came to his face as he slowly woke up. Meanwhile, Alex was sound asleep which as rare for him. He had his arms wrapped Nate and was holding him close, soft even breaths coming out as he felt the warmth of the sun bathe over them from the window.​

Nate stayed there for a little longer before pulling himself from Alex’s embrace. He had far too many things to do to stay there all day. He quietly made his way out of the room and peered over at the wide open door of the room across the way. He narrowed his eyes and decided to take a look. Huh. No one there. Was he up later? How did Kaleb get Carlos up? He shrugged and headed down the stairs. He yawned and wandered but realized that he still could not find Kaleb and Carlos. Well, that was strange. Naturally, he went to check on Jordan and Asher, but their door was closed. They must have been asleep still.

Alex was dead to the world and really didn't notice when Nate left the bed. He was actually enjoying the fact that they didn't have to wake up and move and travel. Kaleb got up, peeling himself away from his loves and standing, stretching himself out. Last night had not been what he'd thought would happen, but he wasn't exactly complaining. Kaleb wondered if the other two were up yet, and so he snuck out of Jordan and Asher's room only to run right into Nate as he shut the door. "Oh. Hey."​

Nate was going to turn around and see if maybe they were outside when suddenly there was a Kaleb not only right there but up against him. He stumbled back a little with and “Oh!” He was a little confused to be honest. And then he wasn’t confused anymore. His cheeks flushed about as red as an apple. A hand ran to the back of his head as he backed further up to give them both space. “Oh, um. Hey.” So this was awkward. “Good morning?”

Kaleb reached out to steady Nate when he stumbled back and chuckled softly. He saw those red cheeks flushed and he let go of Nate when he stepped back. "Hey. Good morning. I hope you slept well." Kaleb said as he looked at Nate. "I don't think any of them will be waking any time soon." He added, pointing his thumb at the room he'd just come out of. "Did you have any plans for today?" Kaleb asked curiously.​

Any of them. Which meant that they were all in there. Huh. Well, he couldn’t say that he was too shocked by that. Having met Carlos, he had a feeling that he was not stranger to all kinds of love. Nate shook his head. “Not any solid ones. As much as I would love to read every book that could help with this potential surgery to answer any and all questions that anyone may have, I also know that we need to survive. We need a lot of things to live in here. I know Jordan and Asher have a lot in their old house that can get us started, but we are going to need food. I guess I want to start up some sort of trading system? I don’t know. What about you?”

Kaleb tilted his head slightly as he heard him, curiosity in his blue eyes. "Surgery?" He asked, before his brain registered the rest of what his brother said. "Oh.. I see, probably a smart idea to do that, and get our own food here so we don't always have to run down for breakfast. Especially with the two that love to sleep the day away." Kaleb said with a chuckle, thinking about Jordan and Carlos. He was a little surprised though that Asher was still asleep. Alex was slowly stirring now that he was by himself upstairs.​

“Uh huh,” Nate answered as he started walking back down the hall. “Surgery. Um, Hayden’s leg is a problem so I might have thought up a solution. Not sure yet.” As they spoke, Asher also came out of the room as well. Nate turned back and waved. “Mornin’.” Asher, still very tired, slowly raised a hand. “Hey.” His voice was so much lower than everyone’s normally, and now that he was clearly still tired, it was even more so. “What are we doing?” Nate shrugged and disappeared into the living room.​

Kaleb tilted his head as he listened, and a smile crossed his face. "Well, if anyone could fix that leg of his, it's you Medicine Man. You've fixed us all up." Kaleb said, as he heard the door open. He looked back at Asher and heard him, that even lower voice as he was clearly still tired. "Hey. Sleep well?" He asked, noticing Nate heading into the living room. "We were talking about a surgery. Should we wake those two up and head for breakfast or let them sleep?" Kaleb asked, looking at Asher. Alex on the other hand woke up and yawned, slipping off the bed and headed downstairs, entering the living room and seeing Nate. "Morning beautiful." Alex said, stepping towards him with a smile.​

Nate was standing in the living room considering a wall that he had been considering since he ran through yesterday morning when Alex was suddenly there. He didn’t hear him come down the stairs. His smile was as big as when they first met. He slid both arms around him in a hug he could not explain. “Mornin’!” He stayed there several more seconds and eventually pulled away. He pointed to the wall. “Bookshelf? For central things that everyone likes. We can have our more tailored interests in whatever other room we like, but this could be for everyone to share. So we never forget who we all are.” Asher was not awake enough for the people who were significantly more awake than him. He was so often awake earlier, but he was tired from the night before. He puffed out a laugh and nodded. “After the night they had? Let them sleep. We can bring them back a breakfast. Or lunch. I’ve met both of them.” He slid his hand into Kaleb’s before deciding to amble his way to the living room with the other two. “Are you still talking about a surgery?”​

Alex smiled at the hug and he hugged him back, kissing the top of his head. He looked at the wall when Nate pulled away and pointed at it. "That's a good idea. I like having the bookshelf there." He said, nodding. "I like the idea of having a space for us to share books and then perhaps having books like your medical ones that you love in our room." Alex suggested as he looked at Nate. Kaleb smiled at Asher, hearing that laugh and chuckled softly. "Yeah, we can bring them food. Those two deserve to sleep in. It's been a long time coming for Carlos." Kaleb admitted as he felt the hand slip into his and he followed to the living room. Alex looked at them and shook his head. "Now we're talking about bookshelves and where to put one, and we're thinking over on that wall." Alex said, pointing to it.​

Asher felt like he was missing something, but that was how he felt much of the time that they were all together. He shrugged and looked at the blank wall. “That does seem like a bookshelf kind of wall.” He squeezed Kaleb’s hand for his attention. “Is that where we are keeping our books that we read?” Nate raised a brow. “You guys have books? I want books. Oh!” He practically jumped with the memory. “We still need to move all of your things over from your other house! Do we want to do that today? After breakfast? Maybe we can get breakfast and then tell the boys that we need those muscles.” Nate grinned. “I know they like to feel strong.”​

Kaleb looked at them and nodded, feeling the squeeze to his hand. "Yes! That is exactly where we will keep all the books we read. Though.. it's just one for now." Kaleb said with a soft laugh. "I'm sure we can talk to Emmett about getting a handful of books at a time in exchange for something he'd need." Kaleb added. "Then we can bring those books back and get new ones." Kaleb looked back at Nate, hearing him. Alex chuckled hearing that and nodded. "That's not a bad idea. We can go have breakfast, grab some for them and I'm sure they'd love to show off their muscles." Kaleb said, looking at Asher with a grin.​

This kid wasn’t wrong. He pointed to Nate with a grin. “I like the way you think. Everyone wins in this situation.” He turned to Kaleb and smiled. “Your trading idea is also very practical, and I appreciate that about you.” Nate liked the praise. He clapped once to grab everyone’s attention again and nodded towards the door. “Okay, well, I think we should beat the rush of other people who also want breakfast. I love people. Not like they do,” he gestured down the hall towards the remaining two of their crew, “so I don’t need them all the time.” With Alex’s hand still in his, he all but ran to the front door.​

Kaleb chuckled, hearing them and looked at Asher, nodding. "I have some good ideas, sometimes." Kaleb said with a laugh as he look over at Nate. He heard the clap and both Alex and Kaleb turned to the sound. Alex, still holding Nate's hand, was just about running to the front door with him. Kaleb took Asher's hand and followed them a little slower, shutting the door behind them as the four of them headed towards the gate. "This is certainly a wonderful home you've found and I'm glad we found you again. It was so hard leaving you back in New Mexico two years ago." Kaleb admitted as he looked at Asher while they walked.​

Asher watched as the two younger men ran out the door and towards the gate. He had a feeling that this kind of energy was going to get tiring, but it would be in an endearing kind of way. Jordan and Carlos also had a lot of energy, though not like this. Alex and Nate were still young enough not to have lost that whimsy like he had. Granted, he stalked, maimed, and killed people for a living for a very long time. That took the whimsy out of all of them. He almost sheepishly looked at Kaleb as he spoke. “When we split apart, I thought that was the hardest thing we had ever done. Then we had to learn how to be ourselves again, and I learned that it was much harder to just be us. You and Carlos were such an important part of our lives even though it was such a short amount of time.” He smiled as they moved through the gate. He waved the other two on so that they could keep going as he closed the gate. “I am glad that we have you back.”​

Kaleb did not have the energy even though he wasn't old by any means, he just enjoyed going slow. He walked with Asher behind the two running towards the gate. He flicked his gaze towards him and heard his words, nodding a little. As they moved through the gate, he smiled softly. "I'm glad we're back too. I'm glad to be here too, it was time to stop traveling. And I told you that it wasn't goodbye but seen you soon." Kaleb said after the gate was closed and they were headed down the path towards Jackson.​

Nate and Alex arrived at the gate into town first, and Nate handled getting them inside so that by the time Kaleb and Asher arrived, it was ready for them. He closed it as well and then was back at moving quickly down the streets, occasionally getting turned around. This was why he had Alex. Asher knew that Kaleb was right. He remembered those words, and though he believed that they meant them, there was a part of him that was not sure it was going to work. “It was a long time. I was… afraid that we wouldn’t find each other again.” He looked down the streets of a home he never expected to have that was full of so much family he never knew he would get. “You always could surprise me. I shouldn’t be shocked you did it again.”​

Alex smiled at Nate as they headed into town, and even as they moved down the streets, he kept Nate from getting too turn around. Kaleb looked at Asher and smiled, hearing his words and he sighed softly. "I've always been full of surprises after all." Kaleb said with a chuckle as he looked at Asher. He knew that they'd meet again, and he had been determined to make it happen. The perfect moment had finally presented itself and there they were, together again. The cafeteria was getting closer as they walked, Alex suggested to Nate that they wait for Asher and Kaleb before they go in, since they reached the cafeteria before the other two.​
