“you’re a peach” she hummed happily, standing up quickly to follow him. “i’ll get you back for this.”

[nixoisms-blog]

    “ c’mon, “ he chuckled whilst giving her a subtle wave in the direction of his abode. “ you can start by never callin’ me a peach again. “

      “so if i get you steak would you sleep with me? or is that too unromantic and i should just surprise you with extra rations instead?”

[nixoisms-blog]

    “ maybe throw in a foot rub or something of the like -- then we’ll talk. “

[maddiscnparker-deactivated20170]

brows raise and a nefarious smile pierced her lips. ‘ ‘course i’m serious! why would i suggest such a thing and not be? besides, what’s the worst they can do to us ? take our weeks rations? i’m not like most of the rest, i’m not afraid to get my own food. i was out there too long for that. ’

    an incredulous huff passed his lips that still hung loose in disbelief at her words. even he hadn’t had the balls to do anything as harebrained and ludicrous as sneaking out without authorization. and past curfew, he reminded himself as the setting sun shone its remaining few orange rays upon valdez. “ fucking... fuck -- shit. “ he mumbled to himself, rising from his spot at the table. “ we could die out there, you do realize this. we could potentially be making the most idiotic decision of our miserable lives. “ he stated plainly to the girl but with a new found excitement lacing his tone.

   ❛ my god. aren’t you generous. ❜ aya examined the crackers before taking an experimental bite. ❛ oh. i don’t know why, but i was expecting them to be more than just food. better, somehow. ❜

      “ mama raised quite the gentleman. “ he nodded, making a show of picking at his top row of teeth with the blunt edge of his nail. thank god he’d just washed his hands. images of blood circling the drain as he cleansed himself of the grime brought back from their run flashed before his eyes, sending an involuntary shiver down the male’s spine. “ there’s your first mistake. i make it a priority to keep my hopes as low as possible around here. i’d suggest you do the same. “

    almost immediately, she relaxed her muscles after he finished speaking, knowing that he was completely right. it didn’t take her long to return her breathing to a normal, slow pace. however, always one to have the last word or punch, ruby jutted forward spitting on the girl who was also being held down. knowing his arms were still on her, she raised her hands in defeat. exhausted, her body shifted to leaning on his, an exasperated sigh leaving her lips. “you’re right - you’re right. okay? jesus. i definitely don’t want to be out there.” the thought made her skin crawl. “can you please get your hands off of me ??” 

[nixoisms-blog]

         he could visualize the falter in her composure as she listened to his words ; the first accurate thing he’d said in a while, pertaining to matters that actually held meaningful value. but he was plagued with a question as he struggled to maintain her fighting form. why was he even exposing himself to this situation? he hardly knew this girl, yet here he was sticking his neck out for her. it all came back to being in the wrong place at the wrong time, he guessed. supporting her weight easily as he watched her begin to simmer down, nixon heaved a sigh of his own. “ oh, yeah -- you’re not gonna try anything stupid like that again, though. right ?? “ he mused, eyebrow quirked in question as his fingers began to loosen their grip on her arms.

‘ so then why are we still standing here? ’ shoulders roll as a brow raises. ‘ i say we ditch and get something to eat. i’m sure i could find some type of weapon that’ll do for tonight. ’

[nixoisms-blog]

    “ your... serious, aren’t you ?? “ he inquired with the absence of a joke in his tone, eyes narrowed slightly towards the blonde. “ you wanna go outside the walls... without permission ?? just us. “

[aliaswrites-deactivated20170213]

   aya hadn’t been aware grow ops had survived the apocalypse. they wondered how they hadn’t noticed. maybe this was an isolated incident. ❛ yes, lucky you, ❜ they deadpanned. ❛ give me a cracker, and you can sit for as long as you want. ❜

[nixoisms-blog]

       meeting their demands by holding out not one cracker but two between his middle and forefingers, nixon didn’t wait for verbal confirmation on their behalf. he had a feeling he wasn’t going to get it either way. “ simple demands. i can deal. “

[lukashq]

breaking the crackers into smaller pieces, her attention turned to the other as she noticed the smug smile that was laced on his lips before bringing the broken piece to her own, pulling it in with her tongue. ‘ regret giving me crackers? well, i got into it with another townsman because they threw an unannounced hit and cracked my nose. i wasn’t given rations for the next week and i ate all my others from last week so no, you won’t regret sharing. ’ 

[nixoisms-blog]

    insert foot in mouth. nixon blanched at the female across from him, shock evident in his gaze that fell from her eyes to the remaining crackers in his hand. she must have been starving and the lack of rations on her part meant nearly a full week to go without. without a word, the male glanced around to see if anyone was watching before he slowly pushed the rest of his meal towards her nimble hands. “ i know it’s not much, but s’all i’ve got for the rest of the day. “ he mumbled softly, chancing a quick glance upwards to connect their eyes briefly before looking away. “ find me tomorrow, i’ll see what i can do. “

        “ i’d like to think that the boring ones are all DEAD by now. and while unlikely,  i would be thoroughly disappointed if you did bore me ; although if you’re struggling i could suggest some topics of conversation. ”

[nixoisms-blog]

     “ oh yeah, the first wave of destruction and despair wiped out all those who were too intellectually unfit to keep up with the likes of us. then so on, so forth. and alas -- here we are. one of the remaining few men and women alive to tell the tale. i’m interested in these topics of conversation, actually. what’cha got ?? “

[avvius]

‘ hey, i’m short on entertainment — i don’t know what on earth that is, but i’m guessing that it’s not a lot of fun. ’

[nixoisms-blog]

     “ you sure know how to make a fella feel great. the cinnamon challenge ?? consider yourself lucky -- you’ve been spared the inconvenience of seeing a bunch of sorry shits choke on a spoonful of powdered cinnamon for pleasure. “

[ofnikolai]

“now i didn’t say we were inviting the whole damn town and zombies to join us did i? let’s find a quiet room to drink and relax, i need it.”

[nixoisms-blog]

     “ your wish, my command. “ he mused lowly as he stood from his seat, turning to make sure she was prepared to follow. “ i’ve got a nice little stash back at my place. “

[aliaswrites-deactivated20170213]

    ❛ hmm. maybe. ❜ they shifted their head away from uninteresting text in order to study his face. ❛ where did you get the weed? didn’t know that was possible in a hellscape like this one. ❜

[nixoisms-blog]

     hesitating with half a cracker dangling by his lips, nixon stared at her expectantly and then down at the work set out before her. “ oh, i’m -- sorry, i didn’t realize. “ he rushed as crumbs tumbled off his chin. “ uh, well, long story short, there are perks that come along with being in good with the guys who monitor electric. buddy of mine grew a bit a while ago and by some miracle, it turned out to be pretty decent. “

[maddiscnparker-deactivated20170]

watching his actions, the blonde’s eyes narrowed. ‘ i just want something better to eat than what we’ve got at the moment. ’ she shrugged staring at his crackers. ‘ wouldn’t you like to have something other than stale crackers?! ’

[nixoisms-blog]

       “ like doesn’t even begin to describe it. i would give anything to not have this shit for dinner on a nightly basis. throw in a can of beans, or somethin’ here and there. make dinner time exciting again. “ he chuckled, shoving another cracker into his mouth.

         ‘ protection overrules runners, kid. that’s how it’s always been, and that’s how it’s going to continue to be. and last time i checked, only one of us has constant access to a GUN. you really wanna try & piss me off ? ’

[nixoisms-blog]

    “ ya’know what, fuckin’ forget it. you’re so far above us all on top of that high horse of yours, aren’t you ?? can’t be touched, can’t be bothered. let me tell you something ; you think you’re a poor, lonely bastard who can’t maintain personal ties now, just wait. keep doing what you’re doing and you’ll really die all alone. and you wanna fight dirty, be my guest. soon as the playing field’s even, come find me, jackass. “
