What if 10k is actually a really cuddly sleeper? like he’s fine if he’s sitting by himself, but if his s/o is near him when he’s asleep, he’ll end up with his head on their chest and arms around their waist, smiling in his sleep and quietly snoring.

Follow the crows

dragon-chica:

Crows.
They were starting to get on your nerves, but they were definitely up to something.
For the last two miles or so, they’ve been circling above you squawking like there’s no tomorrow (which in this day and age it might just be) then flying west of you, squawking all the way then flying back to circle you and repeat.
The two had gotten your attention quickly it was impossible not to notice them, being so loud and you’d caught on to their little tactic pretty quickly.
So, not really having anything better to do and having all the time left in the world, you followed them.
You’re following crows.
If zombies never happened you’d think you were crazy to be following crows, but when in the Apocalypse, crazy is key.

A few minutes later you started to hear more crows, coming from the same direction your ‘guides’ were taking you.
You stopped on a hill for a second, lifting your binoculars from around your neck and checking out where all the ruckus was coming from.
A huge flock of crows, probably around thirty, minus the two above you, all perched on the ground and objects around on area and squawking loudly, there had to be something there worth checking out.

Shouldering your bag you picked up your pace following the crows above you and heading for the flock.

When you reached the crows they got louder, as if yelling at your for something, and hopping out of your path just enough to walk through.
In the middle of them all, with two crows close to him was a boy, just a kid, laying on the ground covered in blood.
He wasn’t turning Z but he sure wasn’t moving either.
You dropped your bag and rushed over to him, all the crows went silent when you dropped to your knees next to the boy.
Not seeing any obvious cause of death on his torso you turned his head, checking for any wounds to see if he’d been mercy’d but finding none you put your head to his chest, straining to hear any signs of life-
“CAW!”
You quickly fell backwards, not without giving a small screech of your own in surprise.

The boy, very much alive, was sitting up giving you the look a panicked animal would, the crows were cawing again and flapping their wings as if celebrating.
The boy turned his head, frantically scanning all the surrounding area before looking back at you.
You put your hand on his leg slowly, trying not to startle him further “Hey, are you alri-”

Before you could finish your sentence he jumped up and took of running towards the red covered buildings in the distance, not being able to just leave him out here alone you grabbed your bag and chased after him.
“Wait up! Kid!”
He was insanely fast for a kid  but you caught up to him as he reached the buildings, trying to open the doors.
“Kid, c’mon” you rested your hand on his shoulder and he spun to face you “sister” was all he said and ran into the building, you right behind him.
He flipped each corpse he came across and you followed him, machete in each hand ready for any Z’s.

You went through each room in the building, finding nothing alive (or dead-alive if you prefer for zombies)
You tried getting his attention but all he did was caw at you once and keep running, this time towards the back and surrounding buildings, checking any corpses he saw, trying to find someone.
You sliced down any approaching Z’s, clearing every one from the area by the looks of it. But he didn’t find whoever he was looking for.
Having searched everywhere with no luck, he stopped, standing perfectly still and staring at the ground and mumbling a quiet “sister”

You put your weapons back in their sheaths and walked up to a few feet behind him and stopped, this time not trying to talk or get him to explain anything.
He turned back to you, you could see tears in his eyes not falling and he ran into your arms.
You were surprised by his impact but returned his hug and rubbed circles on his back

“Shh, shh. It’s ok, are you looking for someone? Your sister?” you felt him nod against your jacket.
You stepped back and looked him in the eyes “Do you have a name?”
A simple enough question but he thought about it for a moment “5k” was all he answered.
You decided not to question that “Alright 5k, how bout I try and help you find your sister, would that work?”
He nodded and cawed at you
Letting out a sigh of relief, you couldn’t let him be left alone, not that you had any clue where his sister could be.
You adjusted your bag and stood up straight, glancing around you “So, which way do we go 5k?”
He looked up, watching all the crows who now seemed to be flying without any purpose and pointed in the direction of the far off trees and looked back to you with a caw, maybe asking you?

You shrugged, “Good as a direction as any.” You started walking, checking to make sure he was following you when you felt a tug at your back pocket.
He had pulled out your slingshot and was aiming and stretching it
“You like that? You’re welcome to use it I guess”
He sped up slightly to walk next to you
You glanced towards the sky and saw one of the crows following above you, this could be interesting.

Bloody Valentine

“Mack! Mack!” you said running up to him, he looked up from the bushes when you got closer to him “Hey (Y/n), what do you need?”
You rubbed your hands together as you came up next to him, it was still pretty cold, morning frost covering everything in sight
“I need you to distract 10k for a few hours, please please?” you jumped up and down beside him, both because you’re excited and because you really need to get blood flowing before you turn into a Y/ncicle
“I’m kind of busy right now (Y/n), don’t have time” he said while pushing another shrub out of his way.

 Earlier Citizen Z had announced that it was Valentines day, luckily 10k was still asleep giving you the perfect idea for what you were going to do today instead of just sitting on the 3 floor’s windowsill and shooting random zombies in the distance with pebbles (It’s so funny when they get confused. (Murphy doesn’t think so))
Mack groaned not finding what he wanted in the bush and went towards another one.
You folded your hands “Please Mack? I really need your help” you begged.
Mack looked up at you, rather annoyed “And what would you propose I do to distract him?” he moved the leaves of another plant around the building’s base to reveal and severed Z head that started trying to bite him
You stabbed the head with your knife, making a small ‘ew’ at the black blood pouring out of it’s mouth “I just need you to keep him busy for a few hours, take him on one of your guys’ guy talks that always take forever and creep him out” you kicked the Z head making it roll into the parking lot
“As much as I enjoy making him squirm, no. I’m busy today”
You huffed, you were trying to ask nicely but if he insists.
“ADDY! MACK IS BEING MEAN MAKE HIM HELP ME” you shouted, seconds later hearing a loud ‘Mack’ in return making said person groan, adjusting his wool hat and leave his shrub searching to go bother 10k 

{Time skip, brought to you by the adorable fact that 10k looks at guns the way most people look at puppies}

Dragging the last body into place you step back to admire your work, you go back in the office building and soon see 10k, who looks extremely uncomfortable, next to Mack.
10k sighs in relief when he sees you, finally he’s able to escape Mack

“(Y/n) there you are,” 10k said quickly leaving Mack and jogging up to you “I didn’t see you when I woke up then Mack made me go on a walk for ‘male bonding time’ his topics get worse every time.” he shivered just thinking about it
You laughed and grabbed his hand pulling him towards the stairwell "No time to waste 10k, I got a surprise for you!“

When you got up the 3 flights of the building and onto the roof you dragged 10k towards the edge, making him tumble oh so gracefully behind you, you spun around to face him with your arms wide open "Ta-da!”
Written in about 18 dead Z’s below was ’I ❤ 10K’
“Happy Valentine’s day Tommy! I couldn’t find any Happy Valentine’s sales so I hope this is alright”
10k laughed quietly, looking over at the message “I love it" he wiped some blood that had splattered onto your cheek "my bloody valentine.”
“Oh and also” you dug around in your bag for a moment “I found this on the bottom leg of the K down there” you pull out a unopened package of gum and hand it to him

Mack and Addy were the next to join you on the roof, and walked to the edge to see your message"Aww that’s so sweet! Mack why don’t you do anything like that for me?“ Addy said and smacked his arm
"Ow! Maybe I was too busy making 10k uncomfortable to have time”

You stood next to 10k, leaning on the buildings ledge as he shoots down the zombies who wonder near the parking lot and he mutters his count with each shot.
Looking over, you smile when you see Mack pull the scraggly looking bouquet of smashed daffodils from his walk with 10k out of his coat when Addy isn’t looking

Doc walked up next to you and looked over the edge “Really kid? corpses?”
You shrugged “It’s hard to be romantic in the apocalypse”

@writingsofawaywardnerd @10k-au (I’m sorry for failing at this, I tried!)

The chain explained (or not)

{Takes place: the lunch room of that camp where freaky priest attacks, season 1}

“So kid, why exactly do you carry a chain in your pants?”
Doc asked, Addy giving a similar questioning look, before both getting distracted by food

10k freezes in his tracks, his mind going back a few days (or more like the night before) you and him had joined the group.

The dim lighting in the abandoned motel you’d secured, lit with only a small candle on the nightstand giving the room a low yellow glow.
The only sounds beside the wind outside being the creaking of the old wooden bed and 10k’s moans and ragged breaths
10k tightened his grip on the loosely wrapped chain secured on the headboard and letting out another moan as you peppered his neck with wet open mouthed kisses
remembering the feeling of you straddling him, the feeling when you sucked on that spot of his neck, (the certain spot that somehow always seemed to be bruised) when his eyes rolled back when you tightened your grip on his arm and bit down a little harder, giving a small whimper at your actions-

An apple was placed on his tray, pulling him out of his thoughts “You alright kid?” Doc asked, pulling him further “C’mon you’re holding up the line”

10k swallowed thickly, face flushed with bright red cheeks “I-I just thought it could be of use sometime, never know when a piece of chain might come in handy”
10k slid into a spot at the table, quickly took a bite of his apple, hoping this conversation to be over.

You slide onto the bench next to 10k, wrapping your arms around his neck “So, when do you think the next ‘sometime’ will be? Because I find it’s very handy” you whispered in his ear, hot breath fanning his neck, promptly making him choke on his apple, red faced and regaining everyone’s attention.
