Imagine this, you and 10k, you’re sitting up straight and he’s slouched, his head is resting on your chest facing the same way you are. You’re running your fingers through his hair keeping him calm letting him close his eyes and sleep, he’s relaxing.
Imagine that, becausE HE FRACKING DESERVES IT!
Summary: 10K and Y/n argue the
existence of Aliens.
Word count: 285
Requested? No
A/n: N/n= Nickname
“No, I’m telling ya, they exist.” 10K insisted
“Hmm, wrong.”
“You’re just
sceptical.”
“I’m
realistic,” you corrected.
You and 10K
were arguing the existence of aliens, he was gullible and naĂŻve whereas you
were right.
“Are you two
still on this?” Both Murphy and Doc asked in unison, Doc more amused.
“Well he’s
still wrong.” It seemed so simple in your mind. “There is no proof, I believe
in science and science says no. Other living organisms? Yes. Probing fictional
creatures that will visit? Hell. No.” You explained.
“How do you
explain the 2004 lights in the sky?”
You smirked
knowing the answer, “light reflection from close satellites.”
“No! Common
N/N. Why not aliens? E.T, extra-terrestrial, un-worldly, un-earthly, creatures
from other planets?”
“Because no.
You know what I heard? 1982 Si-fi film, Lights, illusions and Doctor Who.”
“UFO’s?” He
raised an eyebrow.
“Any flying object is a UFO is you’re an idiot,
a plane can be a UFO until you identify it. Face it, you’ve lost, go ride your
bike into the moon.” He sighed in response, jokingly, of course.
“Here’s a
tip of wisdom kid.” Doc started, “you can be in a happy relationship, or you
can be right.”
“Thank you,
Doc.” You concluded.
“I’m not
letting this go, you remember the torn up Z’s in Rozwell.”
“Are you
kidding? You used that weapon.”
10K realized
the flaw in his argument,” this proves nothing.”
“Drop the
mic.”
“Drop the
subject, you’re still wrong.”
“Click in a
Z formation Mr Sass.”
“Was that a
zombie pun?”
“Mayyybe.”
“I hate you.”
“I love you
too, even if you are a Bigfoot believer.”
“Hey don’t
push it, he’s real to and The Loch Ness-“
10k only does neck kisses while having sex because he likes the warmth and the feel of your heartbeat against his lips. It’s almost impossible to pull him up to kiss him on the mouth, but when you do, He always opens his eyes, the sea blue/green of his fixed to yours.Â
His hands always find their way into your hair. He’s touchy-feely and he twists it round and around his fingers.Â
In bed is the only time you ever see him without his bandanna and goggles on, he gets self conscious of his hair sticking up in all directions.Â
“Hey, it’s cute, don’t worry I love it.”
“hmff”Â
He goes bright red and hides in your shoulder.Â
He’s quiet the majority of the time, but when he’s getting close, his breathing gets so loud that each one itself sounds like a moan. Every now and again he whispers your name under his breath.Â
When he finishes, he stays on top of you, panting and running his hands up and down your body, reminding himself that you’re here. That you’re still there with him.Â
He gets nervous afterwards, every time, like it’s his first time all over again. Or even like the first time he met you. He’s facing away from you, and you have to stroke his hair to calm him enough to relax or sleep.Â
The sofa is the most comfortable thing that you’ve lain down
on in months. As soon as your head hits the cushion, you drift off into a sleep
that you wish could have never ended. That you could have stayed there forever,
suspended in the delicious purgatory, the weightlessness of both mind and body.
Sadly, forever doesn’t seem like an option. When you wake, it’s still dark, one
beam of light falling across the carpet of the room from the large bay window.
You shift and let your eyes lazily close again, bathing in the bliss of safety
and that indescribable feeling that you only get upon wakening in the morning.
You can hear voices across from you and you build up an image in your head.
“Is she awake?”
10k is splayed over an armchair, legs dangling over the
sides. He’s watching you, putting his rifle down against the wall.
“No, she’s been asleep for hours” Addy replies. “Don’t you
dare think of waking her.” She’s perched in another chair, Z whacker across her
lap, head resting on her hand, staring out of the window. “She needs it, I haven’t
seen her sleep in I don’t know how long.”
“She looks so peaceful” 10k mumbles, Addy looks over at him,
pulling a gooey face and making a long drawn out awwww sound. He huffs in
response.
“What?” he asks, in a tone that makes you think that he
already knows the answer. What Addy says next though, is what hooks you on the
conversation, you have to hear the rest. There’s a long drawn out period of
silence in which you nearly drift off back to sleep, and then she sighs.
“I’ve seen the way you look at her.” She whispers in a
teasing voice. Your cheeks redden and you thank God for the darkness in the
room, the single light shining weakly in the opposite corner. What way does he
look at you? You’ve never noticed anything out of the ordinary.
“You’re imagining things” He mutters.
“Oh, no I’m not, lover boy”
“Come on, be quiet” There’s an urgency in his voice. It
makes you wonder whether there’s a grain of truth behind what she’s saying. You
want to turn over and away from him, perhaps even leave the room. But if you
did that now, they’d know you’d been awake the whole time. So you lay perfectly
still, arms wrapped around yourself.
“She’s out 10k!” she reassures him. “trust me, you could
scream and she probably wouldn’t stir, it’s what happens when you don’t sleep
for five thousand years” A bright light passes in front of the window, Vasquez
on patrol for Zs, It silences the two for a couple of minutes and then Addy
pushes the conversation on.
“Tell me you don’t have feelings for her.” She teases. “Tell
me honestly and I’ll let it go.”
“Addy..”
“Don’t make me whack you 10k.”
“Fine, okay.” He sighs, shuffling in his seat to sit round
and lean his elbows on his knees. There’s another gap of silence as he rubs his
eyes with the heels of his palms. “I like her. I like her a lot.”
“I knew it!” Addy squeals, clapping her hands.
“SHHHHHHhh!” 10k pleads. “She needs the rest.”
“You guys are so damn cute” she tells him. “Everyone knows
something is going to happen between you, so just let it happen!”
“It’s not as simple as that, she has to like me back, I can’t
just assume can I?”
“It is obvious that she likes you too.”
“Not to me it’s not” There’s a sound that you imagine is him
getting to his feet, steps pace across the room and back again. Addy watches
him go, eyebrows raising. 10k isn’t normally the one to do stress, he deals
with things as they happen, and then moves on when it’s not relevant.
“Just ask her.” Addy pushes, getting to her feet as well.
Her Z- whacker carves through the air as she throws it up into the air once and
catches it again, before moving slowly towards the doorway. She’s obviously
going out to take over watch from Warren and Vasquez, but first she turns back
to 10k and points a finger at him, giving him a soft smile.
“Hey, Just sit and talk to her.” She whispers. “Everyone
needs someone, forever isn’t assured these days.” The door swings to a shut,
and there’s quiet except from the ticking of a clock somewhere nearby, and 10k’s
pacing. Finally his steps stop. You jump as his hand touches your shoulder. Your
eyes fly open, and meet his.
“Hi” he whispers “sleep well?” He rubs your shoulder a
little, raising Goosebumps all over your arm. You manage to nod and pull yourself
up into a seated position. 10k waves a packet in front of you, eyes glinting.
“We’re on the move in a couple of hours, but I found some
protein bars” A smile lights up his face, The orange glow from the lamp hitting
him in a way that makes him look like a piece of art. Chiselled out of marble
maybe, painted by hand. Â You pull
yourself up more, making room for him to sit down next to you. He crosses his
legs and starts to open the packet, the metallic paper making the most gorgeous
ripping sound.
“I wanted to share them with you before we had to start
moving.” He breaks off half of the oatbar and passes it to you, hand visibly
shaking. Your fingers brush his as you take it and you take a deep breath.
“Thank you” you sigh, placing it on your knee and brushing
your hands off on your top. You watch as he peels the wrapper down further and
then sits still, considering the food without touching it. His eyes remain
fixed on it, but you don’t think he’s really seeing it.
“You okay?” you ask him, worried about what he’s thinking. A
blank look on his face, he looks at you and then away and out of the window.
“Nothing.” He mutters.
“It’s something.” You state. “You can talk to me.”
He doesn’t move, and so you bite your pride, and use one
hand to turn his face towards you. His eyes focus on you, wide with shock. You
smile, embarrassment making your skin burn. You take in a deep breath and then
move your hand from his head down to his hand, taking it and intertwining your
fingers.
“I like you a lot too.” You tell him. He blinks once and
then doesn’t blink again for what seems like longer than you thought would be
possible. It takes a while for him to realise that you must have heard his
earlier conversation, and then he blushes as well.
“Oh” he breathes. “You do?”
“Yeah 10k, I do.”
You squeeze his hand gently and then lean forward to peck
him on the cheek gently. A smile breaks out onto his face, and then he kisses
you, on the lips this time. It’s fleeting and soft, but it means the world. His
lips hover for a while above yours, and his smile gets wider.
“can we just… just savour being together while we have this?”
he asks gently, voice a little husk. “While we know that we’re safe, because I
could lose you tomorrow and…”
You cut him off, kissing him again, pressing into him, arms
sliding up and around his neck. His arms go around your waist, and he rests his
forehead against yours. Your hot breath mingles between you, skin on fire
wherever it manages to touch. He holds you so tightly that all that exists to
you is him. You’ve never felt safer in your life and it’s heaven.
“I love you.” You let slip on a sigh. He doesn’t move except
to try and pull you even closer.
“I love you too, please just stay here. Stay in my arms?”
You tuck your head under his chin and he squeezes you, his
heart beat almost merging with yours. It feels as though you’re becoming one
entity. You can hear everyone moving about the house. But it seems so far away.
It feels as though you exist in a bubble with 10k, and you’re going to remember
this moment as the best time of your life for forever more.
Summary: The group starts to take notice of how 10K acts around you, all the while you remain ignorant
A/N: Just a short little one-shot that I hope you guys like 🙂
At first, the group never took notice of how 10K would act shy around you, cheeks lightly coloring a rose pink while his eyes never strayed from your form. How if he decided to say something, his words would slightly stutter before he completely shut up and let you talk. How when you rested your head on his shoulder, he would freeze up, glancing at you from the corner of his eye before relaxing his body, carefully patting your arm before giving it a small squeeze.
The first to take notice of 10K’s infatuation was Addy, who, upon spotting the pink tint on his cheeks after you brushed your hand against his, took him to the side and tried to get him to talk.
“I think someone has a little crush on our dear old (Y/N),” Addy pestered, backing the young man into a corner of the house they were staying in for the night.Â
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” 10K tried ducking under her arms that were caging him in, but Addy managed to keep him in place.
“C’mon Ten, you can’t fool me! The glances, the light touches. I mean, you’re blushing,” Addy emphasized, arching a perfectly shaped eyebrow while poking him in the chest. He chose not to say anything, eyes looking anywhere except for the redhead before him. She sighed, giving in to his wishes and moving away, but not before saying, “This is far from over, lover boy.”
The next to notice was Doc after he spotted you walking away from 10K, the undeniable blush in full bloom as he skimmed his fingers over his cheek. The older man walked over to him, standing in front of the dazed young man who was staring at your retreating form. Doc focused on where exactly 10K’s eyes were set on, only to discover that he was staring at the curve of your hips. Doc laughed, breaking the boy’s attention before blushing an even darker shade of pink, moving to turn around and flee.
“Now, hold on there kid. Were you checkin’ her out?” Another loud laugh escaped Docs lips, slapping a hand against 10K’s shoulder while trying to lower his voice. “Never thought I’d see the day. Good for you kid.” And with that, Doc walked away, leaving a baffled and embarrassed 10K to stare at nothing in particular.Â
After that, Addy and Doc were always trying to find ways to get the two together. When the group would sit around the makeshift fire on cold night’s, they always made sure the two were sitting next to each other with Doc on 10K’s other available side and Addy on yours. If Warren made everyone split up for supply runs or to scope out an area, they would always switch partners at the last moment to make sure you were both going together. And when everyone was piling into the truck or whatever vehicle they were using that day, they would always make sure to shove everyone else into the cab while you two were left to sit next to each other.Â
Soon enough, the others came to the realization that 10K was harboring a large crush, if not a real feeling of love for you. It would have been less obvious if Addy and Doc weren’t trying to pair the two of you up every second of the day. Except, the only one who didn’t notice anything going on with 10K was the person who he was crushing on: you. At every glance, every lingering touch, every small smile and quick cheek peck, you had never seen a reaction from the boy. And it broke his heart because he wanted you to see his reactions.Â
It was the only way he could really show how he was feeling without opening his mouth and making a fool out of himself. So almost a month later, when you innocently gave him a hug of gratitude for saving you from becoming Z chow and pulled back just enough, you noticed that he was looking at you with a flushed face and an awkward smile.
Citizen Z flirts with the reader over the video chat and 10K gets jealous and sassy. I can just imagine 10K being jealous and because he’s quite young and never really had a girlfriend before? I don’t know…
__________________________________________
The screen lit up with Citizen Z’s grinning face on it, there was a small camera above this which you assumed meant that he could see you too.
“Hey, its Citizen Z!” You grinned up at the image on the screen.
“Hi! (Y/N). Looking gorgeous as always.” You blushed lightly as you were confused at the action. Luckily you were saved by the embarrassment as Citizen Z asked to see Murphy, who was standing beside 10K and moved him out of the way slightly so he could come in to view. This action made 10K rub up against your back and you turned around to look at his eyes but he was looking stoically ahead, seemingly at Citizen Z.
You faced forward continuing to listen to Citizen Z talking about the mission and where you would be going to next.
“The mission is a go, thanks to yours truly. That’s good news, right?” Citizen Z’s voice rang out.
“Good news would be a package of Oreos and a couple gallons of milk.” 10K muttered sarcastically, glaring up at the virtual image of Citizen Z.
Citizen Z instructed you on where to go next and you all piled out of the small room, making your way towards the truck. You climbed in to the truck bed along with 10K but he made an effort to deliberately sit as far away from you as possible.
“10K, what is the matter with you today?”
“Nothing,” He muttered, looking anywhere but at you. You raised an eyebrow.
“You know I know when you’re lying right?” You lifted yourself up and sat down beside 10K, your legs touching.
“Tell me what’s wrong, please?”
“I said nothing. Why don’t you go back and talk to your boyfriend.” He mumbled.
Boyfriend?
Oh.
You burst out laughing and 10K looked towards you with even more hurt in his eyes. “He’s not my boyfriend, 10K.” You managed to get out between laughter,
“I don’t think the apocalypse is the time for long distance relationships" 10K didn’t reply but you could see the pink on his cheeks and the stiffness of his body.Â
“Anyway. I’m just waiting on the right guy,” You smiled gently towards him. You had a feeling 10K might like you but you didn’t want to act upon it just in case. You knew about how much interaction he had with women in the past. Being so young when the apocalypse started. He was definitely a man now though, his now muscular arms proving this.Â
“Puppies and kittens,” You snapped yourself out of your daze as Warren alerted everyone to the incoming zombie.Â
10K lifted his rifle up with ease and fired a shot that was slightly over your head. You had no fear because you knew 10K’s aim was always on point. The zombie dropped to the ground and 10K lowered his rifle, leaning back against the truck beside you, your legs still touching.
“Well I hope you find the right guy.” He muttered.
“Yeah, I think I have.” You said, smiling sincerely at him. 10K looked back at you confused. You simply leaned over and took his hand in your own, threading your fingers together, facing back towards the road, the wind from the moving vehicle whipping through your hair. 10K squeezed your hand slightly in return, his features going from confused to happy, leaning back on the truck beside you.
“You know, you’re cute when you’re jealous” You smirked.
When everyone is at the Zeros’ and the girl is, (what do I even call it) making the biting gesture at him? 10k really doesn’t know what to do (the poor boy is so uncomfortable with ah, all the attention he’s getting) and he just kind of sidesteps to stand behind you while your talking with Doc
