Asher was bad with his words. He always had been and he had a feeling that he always would be. This was a truth that he could not and would not deny. There was no reason to do so. He knew himself well enough at this point, or at least he should after so long. He was old enough by now to realize his own faults. He thought he had it all worked out. He thought that he knew what he was doing. He thought. But the broken voice reached up and grabbed at his throat. That hand reached up for him, and he realized the mistake that he had made in not explaining his actions. In trying to do something that only he understood. It took all of his willpower not to shatter. He grabbed the hand and brought it to his chest as he lowered down to the ground. “You aren’t.” He was on his knees for only long enough to look into those sad eyes. “That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you.” On the floor of this closet they were going to leave, he did what it wanted to do for a long time, but couldn’t. He pushed Jordan back against the wall as he crawled into his lap and wrapped himself around his partner. Covering him. Shielding him from everything else. Every horror that haunted his love. He wanted to leave nothing uncovered even though that was impossible. “I’m right here with you.”

Ezekiel loved how modest and humble Alex was. It was probably one of his favorite things about the man. The fact that his brother never lost that part of himself was wonderful to see. He grinned. “A month? Yes, I can see how that must have been hard.” He shook his head. “It took me how long? Far longer than a month. Though I do wish I could have been exactly that, watching your own love play out. Rooting for you as always.” He sighed. ​

Jordan had been alone for twenty-seven years, then he met Asher. And he wasn’t alone, in fact he had probably the best friend he’d ever wanted. They had three wonderful years together until Joel died. Then Jordan had felt alone, again. But it was worse this time, because he was with Asher and yet, he’d never felt more alone. He couldn’t see past how he wanted to keep these demons from hurting his love. So he stayed away. He stayed as far away as he could. Until Carlos and Kaleb came back. Until he realized that he could share these demons and not hurt Asher. Tears fell down his face as he heard him. As he felt himself pushed against the wall, the body covering him. Jordan buried into Asher, his crying was silent but he could feel the tears like waterfalls down his face. “Thank you.”

Alex chuckled, shaking his head. “It was very hard. But worth it. I’ve never met someone like Nate before. He’s.. wonderful, and thoughtful, and kind. Sorry. I’ll uh get back to cutting the final pieces.” Alex said, blushing a little as he walked over to the pile to grab a piece of wood.​

There was a part of him, a very small part, that still wanted to run. It wanted to get out before this went badly for them again. Either Asher would say the wrong thing or Jordan would disappear. Maybe they would both walk away, run away, instead of being with each other. But the majority of him refused. He made this decision a long time ago to stay with Jordan. He made the decision to be a better person with him. So he would be that better person. Asher held him so tight because he was afraid that Jordan might slip away if he didn’t. “Stay with me, lovebug. And I’ll stay with you.” After a time, Asher pulled at Jordan’s chin to coax him up. Wiped away those silent tears he knew was there.

Ezekiel looked at the wood and raised a resigned arm. “I don’t think you’re the one to be sorry. I’m the one who… distracted us.” He smiled though his mind was still ill at ease. He appreciated Alex. That conversation helped quite a bit. It did not take away the problem, but it made it easier. ​

He didn’t want to run anymore. He didn’t want to be alone. And in this moment, Jordan knew. He knew that what he wanted to do was worth it. But he’d need to overcome his sadness at the guitar to do it. A plan was forming even as he sat there crying. “I’m not going anywhere gorgeous. You’re stuck with me. Even when I look a mess from crying.” Jordan replied feeling his voice strained a little. His head was pulled and he moved it up, looking at Asher. His eyes were sad but a small smile was breaking through.

“Yes well, I did initiate the conversation.” Alex replied, bringing the wood to the clamp so he could keep cutting it. “But it’s my job as your younger brother to help you.” He said with a smile.​

That little smile was enough to make Asher smile too. “When you’re a mess, I love you the most.” He rubbed at raw cheeks where tears tried to stain Jordan’s skin. Not on Asher’s watch. They had to keep him looking as attractive as always. His thumb ran over lips. “That’s when you’re the most you.” His hands slid to the back of Jordan’s neck to pull them close as Asher kissed his forehead. “I know that’s how he liked you too.” It was a risk talking about him. This was the problem. They didn’t talk about it. They ignored it. They needed to accept it.

Ezekiel looked at the wood like it was a foreign project that was new to him and not what he had been doing for a while. “Aren’t the older brothers supposed to do that instead?” He asked though they both knew that age really didn’t change how they were for each other. ​

Jordan let out a soft chuckle as he looked at Asher. He felt the rub on his cheeks and his smile grew a little more seeing the one on his partners face. He felt the thumb run over his lips, and then the hands on the back of his neck. He moved with Asher, humming at the kiss to his forehead. “Are you so sure? I’ve heard him tell me more than once to stop crying.” He chuckled softly, before he pulled his arms free and reached beside him. A hand running down the guitar. “I’ve decided something gorgeous.” His voice quiet as he looked at Asher once more.

As Alex cut the wood, he looked at Ezekiel and chuckled, shrugging his shoulders. “Mm maybe. But younger brothers can to.” He said with a smile as he sawed the wood for the arch. Onto a couple pieces left to go.​

Asher nodded. “Sure. Tough love to your face but all smiles and pride when you were elsewhere.” He grinned at some of the memories that he never really thought about being fond until now. “What else did you think we talked about when you weren’t around?” He didn’t do a lot with Joel, but sometimes he did. Sometimes Joel wanted to talk to him specifically about Jordan. And sometimes Joel wanted to talk specifically about being a hunter. It wasn’t often, but it was often enough. He let his gaze follow Jordan’s fingers. “What’s that, lovebug?” he could only imagine what Jordan wanted to do.

Ezekiel already finished preparing the wood, so as Alex finished cutting, he retrieved their hand sander and picked up the ones Alex already did to start making those edges a little easier to work with. They didn’t have to be perfect yet, but to attach them, they were going to need better edges. “Well, astute younger brother, do you have any other words of wisdom for me?”​

Jordan chuckled, hearing that. He knew that Joel had spoken with Asher alone before but he never bothered to ask what they talked about. “Oh I see. Even when you aren’t with me, I’m on your mind.” Jordan said with a smile. He hummed softly before he looked at the guitar again, then back to Asher. “I’m going to play the guitar again. I haven’t done it since.. his death but I miss it.” Jordan replied as his fingers strummed a note or two. “Then I’m going to sing for you.” He added. Jordan was actually a good singer, had a low melodic voice and he’d listen to music in the QZ when he could.

Alex was finishing up the wood as Ezekiel was sanding the already cut pieces. He looked over at him and shook his head. “Not really.” He said with a smile as he put the last cut piece down.​

Asher watched Jordan take in the guitar. Strummed it. Oh. It really had been a while since he played. Asher loved watching Jordan play. He liked to watch him move those fingers. Some of the songs were intricate, and it seemed impossible that someone could do that. He would listen to Jordan and Joel play sometimes. Occasionally with Ellie as well. It was kind of beautiful. “And I’m not supposed to think about you all the time if you’re singing to me?” He brushed his own fingers across the instrument. He never played and never wanted to. That was not a skill for which he had the patience; a funny thought since so many of his skills stemmed from that.

As he worked, Ezekiel debated on the conversation options. He decided to bring it back to where it was before. “Then I think it is only fair we talk about you and your highly excitable medic then. Delve into that like you’ve delved into my relationship. Took you a whole month to know that was love.” A whole month. It made him laugh. After Ezekiel spent months and months, they had some short amount of time before they knew. “How did you figure it out?” He could not help but be curious. He practically had to have Kaiden spell it out for him.​

Jordan chuckled as he thought about the happy memories with that guitar. The first time he played for Asher. He was done living in the past, it was time for the future. “That’s going to happen more again. That I can promise you.” Jordan said as he sighed happily. “Alright, we should probably do what we’re supposed to be doing hm?” Jordan said with a soft laugh.

Alex looked at Ezekiel, and chuckled. “I guess that’s fair.” He said as he sighed happily. “Well, it’s funny really. We didn’t realize it, either of us, until we met Carlos and Kaleb. Carlos, as you’ve seen, is very friendly and loves people. And he was flirting pretty good with me, and in fact he was my first kiss. But it was watching him and Kaleb, the ultimate pair, in love and happy that made me begin thinking and questioning my own feelings.” Alex started as he brought the last cut pieces to be sanded properly.​

Asher pulled his hand away from the guitar. Sometimes, he almost felt like a normal person in a normal relationship when he was watching Jordan play. It was like they were living out what they should have had years before that. “You mean kissing each other like we’re teenagers with nothing better to do?” Even in the apocalypse, that never changed. He did not allow Jordan to say any different. He captured those lips in his own as he demanded attention. He knew they couldn’t stay like that forever. This was, after all, his idea for what they were doing today. Carlos, who thought this might have been the cutest thing ever and was almost moved to tears, swung Kaleb’s hand that he still held. “I believe that was actually packing your things and moving them.”

That was so often the case it seemed with so many of the people he knew. Everyone realized their love when someone else interfered with it. Someone else flirted with someone. Someone else did something. Ezekiel learned more about himself when Atarah acted out of a love he realized he did not want or reciprocate. Alex had another man flirt with him and then love someone else to prove his love for an entirely different party. It was impressive really. “How was that? A kiss with someone like Carlos.” Ezekiel was not sure if he could handle that. Not because his kisses with Kaiden weren’t… enthusiastic. It was the air of who Carlos was. He could only imagine it was similar to Jordan. “Also, the ultimate pair. Interesting. You should compare them to Jacob and Soren. I would like your opinions then.”​

Before Jordan could confirm those words, he felt Asher kissing him and he kissed back. His hands moving to cup Asher's cheeks as he pulled from the guitar. He knew what they were supposed to be doing and he heard Carlos' words out in the bedroom. He kissed Asher for another minute or two before he pulled back and looked at him. "I think our loves are right." Jordan chuckled as Kaleb sighed, feeling Carlos swing their hands. "Will you let them be?" He asked with a chuckle as he looked at the two with a happy smile. He loved this, seeing them come back together.

Alex looked at Ezekiel when he asked and chuckled softly. "It was very intense, enthusiastic, and passionate. For someone so in love with another, so much so that he's marrying him, he is very passionate with his kissing." Alex said, remembering that kiss. "And I'll have to spend some more time with Jacob and Soren to draw a proper conclusion but I'm certainly interested in seeing how they are and comparing the two."​

It seemed stupid to miss kisses like that, but Asher did. He knew they’d had those since working through some of this, and they’d shared plenty with others too, but he really missed the feeling of being part of a whole like that. They became one in those moments. When Jordan pulled away, he groaned and rested his head on Jordan’s shoulder. “No,” Carlos answered. “I don’t think I will. Unless I get kisses too.” Asher rolled his eyes. “No one else gets kisses until this room gets packed.” It was too cruel to expect them to wait for any more than that. He straightened and nipped playfully at his partner’s neck. With a smile, he hooked a finger under Jordan’s chin. “And you can have more of that later.” He pointed to the guitar. “If you bring that with us.” He winked and moved out of the closet.

Ezekiel stood up and grabbed a second sander. He placed it in front of Alex. “New skill time.” He did not bother telling him how. He assumed Alex could watch him as he continued. “He does seem like he is passionate.” There were so many different types of people out there. “Okay, so. To continue the real conversation. Nathaniel. I can tell you love him. Like I love Kaiden. Tell me where you are in this blossoming relationship.”​

Jordan missed these kisses, and he absolutely wanted to have more of them. He planned on having more of them, for sure. He heard Asher groan and felt the head rest on his shoulder as he chuckled, hearing Carlos. Before he could speak, he heard Asher and groaned softly. Jordan felt that head leave his shoulder and he hummed at the playful nip at his neck. The finger hooked under his chin had him gazing up and looking at him. "This guitar is going to get a lot more use with that kind of motivation." Jordan replied as he saw the wink. He stood up and grabbed the guitar, moving it out of the closet with him and setting it on the bed. Kaleb looked at it, he'd never seen a guitar before and he was interested in hearing Jordan. Perhaps he'd sing for all of them. "Alright, let's get this room packed. It probably has the most of our stuff in comparison to the rest of the house."

Alex grabbed the sander, as he'd been watching Ezekiel. He copied his brother's movements as he heard his words. "He is very much so." Alex said softly before he smiled softly. "While, we've mostly just kissed and hugged, and we.. well.. the first night we were here we uh.." Alex's face was beet red as he looked down. "So, I guess we're in the initial stage? I'm not completely sure." Alex admitted as he looked at the wood he was sanding.​

Asher looked back at Jordan with a grin he hadn’t worn in a long time. Sure he smiled for Kaleb, and he was cordial when he needed to be. It was different with Jordan. It was always different with him. “You see something, we take it. There are bags in the closet. You can start filling those if you want. I’m going to grab some boxes or something.” He disappeared out of the room. Carlos happily sighed. Others’ romances were just as satisfying as his own. “Are we moving all your furniture or what?” He asked as he started pulling things out of drawers and off of shelves. “Because these muscles need challenges to show off.”

Sanding was a far easier and less time consuming job than sawing for Ezekiel, so they wet moving through those pieces quickly. He smiled at the blush. “Not too far in. It is still a bit… overwhelming maybe? New and beautiful.” Ezekiel certainly had been overwhelmed by his own at the beginning. He was simply swept away by it. He wondered if Alex and Nate would have a relationship that settled or one that never seemed to leave those magical beginnings like Jacob and Soren. “You have plenty of time for it to grow.”​

Jordan saw that grin, it was one he hadn't seen in a long time and it made his heart race like it always did when he was with Asher. He went back into the closet and grabbed the bags, setting them on the bed. "You wanna show off your muscles beautiful? We will be taking a bookshelf with us, but aside from that, the farmhouse has enough furniture for us." Jordan said as he started grabbing clothes from the closet and filling a bag. Kaleb started helping Carlos with the dressers and pulling stuff out of them.

Alex looked at Ezekiel and shook his head. "It's still surprising more than overwhelming. I'm surprised that he loved me, and it surprised myself when I realized it. But, I can't wait to see it grow." Alex said as he continued sanding. It was much easier than sawing to him, and he found himself moving through it pretty quickly. "Okay, so after sanding, what do we do next?"​

The best part about not being the kind of person who wanted too much was that there wasn’t too much that they needed to pack and move. Asher grabbed a couple of boxes from around and even popped next door to someone who notoriously had a lot of boxes, and eventually came back to the rest of them already starting on the packing. He threw the boxes down and joined in. “One bookshelf we can do without even breaking a sweat,” Carlos joked. “Good,” Asher teased, “I don’t want to smell you.” Carlos laughed and he and Kaleb went through the dressers quickly. Asher pulled down books and things from the bookshelf and packed them into the boxes.

Ezekiel was intrigued by that statement but chose to reflect on it in a little bit. “Ah, you tell me. We did a lot of pieces just now. More than the base ones. We work well as a team. That and I get overzealous sometimes. They are usable pieces now. We don’t have any of the curved pieces, but I think we actually did the majority of others.”​

Jordan was working on the closet, and he'd gotten it all out and packed into a bag when Asher came back. He looked over at Carlos, hearing him and chuckled as he shook his head. Kaleb helped Carlos go through the dressers and pack that stuff into boxes. Jordan helped Asher once he was done with the closet and soon the bedroom was all packed up. "Alright, time to haul this stuff downstairs and to the cart." Jordan said as he threw a bag over his back and grabbed the guitar. Kaleb grabbed the empty boxes and bags, it was the best thing he could carry with his leg.

Alex looked at the pieces and tilted his head as he thought about what he wanted to do. "Well. We can get the base and bottom pieces together to start, and go from there? That will tell us how many curved pieces we need to make." Alex suggested.​

Asher picked up one box and moved down the stairs. Carlos stacked several boxes and did the same. He was not necessarily showing off though he wasn’t exactly not either. He grinned at Kaleb. “I’ve got yours, love.” He winked as he moved. Asher was the first out and to the cart. He was straight back up grabbing another box as was Carlos until they managed to move everything from the bedroom there. “Where to next?” Carlos asked.

Ezekiel was enjoying this time with his brother as well as seeing how much he and Alex thought alike. He might have actually done the middle section first to then build the base around that, but he understood Alex’s logic. With this being his project, Ezekiel wanted to go with his way. “Sounds like a good start to me.” If something went wrong, that was why Ezekiel was there. He could help fix that. “There are a lot of ways to attach these pieces. Wood glue is valuable, and I have a good stash, especially since we have people like Hayden who can reverse engineer so many substances and make more. However, that won’t be stable enough on its own if we want to use it again.” He pulled out the paper again and began drawing a diagram of the end of the wood. “We can attach screws that are seated inside the ends of the panels that we can slide into the other pieces and apply the glue there as well. That would be doubly secure. We can also add brackets, likely to the backside where no one will see them, especially if you plan to cover the arch sides with anything.”​

Kaleb laughed as he watched Carlos stack several boxes to bring down, and grinned at the wink. "See, I knew I kept you around for a reason." Kaleb said as he and Jordan headed down the stairs as well. Once everything was loaded from the bedroom, Jordan hummed softly. "Well. We can do the living room, but there isn't really anything we need from the kitchen, oh and the bathroom. So bathroom and living room, I can't think of any other places that we actually have stuff, can you gorgeous?"

Alex listened to Ezekiel and thought about the best way to assemble the pieces. "I think it might be a good idea to do the screws and wood glue. I don't think we need brackets on them." Alex said as he stood there. "That way, if we have more than one wedding, we can reuse the arch again." He said, winking at Ezekiel at the 'more than one wedding' piece. He enjoyed spending time with Ezekiel, and like any younger brother, teasing him too.​
