He watched the other with worry, he seemed rather nervous. Maybe it wasn't the best idea to invite a horde, but they needed to stop them somehow, and why not use an ironic way? Zack seemed more hesitant about killing or anything along the lines, but he had to see that it was one of the only ways, that he could think of, to get these military guys off of their tails. Even if it did fail, it'd be a free for all, and Zack wouldn't be able to get infected. Of course that wasn't the same case for Hide as far as he knew, but that didn't matter. When the other spoke, he nodded, "Hit it." He said, ready to roll down the window and start shooting when Zack drove.

[color=#FFFFFF]OOC:[color=#FFFFFF]IC: [color=#000000]Feeling way to anxious for comfort Zack nodded as he turned on the car. This was absolutely positively insane. Who in their right mind would try to draw the zombies to their location? Well, Hide would, it seemed. Stepping on the gas he spun the wheel around and headed straight for one of the soldiers hiding in the bushes. Causing the poor soul to jump out of the way with a mixture of fright and shock written all over his face. Having scared one of them, and surely surprised the rest, Zack continued on trough the woods. Making sure to turn often, and always suddenly, to make it harder to chase them. It was greatly helped by the fact he had no idea where they were going either.

When the other turned the car on, he rolled down the window, and shoot at the sky, and one or two soldiers he saw. Although Hide made it not his intention to hit them, he still took aim. He took extra care in making sure not to some how not hurt himself, or fall out of the car when Zack took off. He shot until the gun ran out of ammo, shaking slightly from adrenalin. He hated how it was like a drug to him, it made him always want to do more and more dangerous things and what not, just to feel it.

[color=#FFFFFF]OOC:[color=#FFFFFF]IC: [color=#000000]Winching every time Hide fired the gun Zack forced himself to focus on just the driving. He was nervous by nature and had never had any positive experiences with a gun being fired. Most of the time he heard them go off they were being fired at him. Having one go off so close to him now was terrifying, even if he trusted the shooter. If he hadn't trusted Hide he would perhaps have panicked and tried to flee. At least, that was what he imagines he would do in such a scenario. Hopefully he didnt ever feel the need to actually run away from Hide again in the futu- Noticing a zombie pop up from seemingly nowhere in front of them he took a sharp turn to avoid hitting it, while grabbing the back of Hides short with one hand so he wouldnt fall out. Not that the blonde was strong enough to actually pull the other back if he really did fall. It was more a reflex than anything else.

When the other grabbed his shirt, he looked over to see him turning, which caused him to jump back from the door, and to the other. He landed next to Zack, his head hitting the other's leg. His breath caught in his throat, and his eyes went wide. Thoughts were racing around his head, too fast to hold onto a single thought. That was too close to comfort, but it didn't seem like that was the end. With how tight the other turned, he half expected the car to flip, but he kept the negative thought down. It couldn't happen, could it?

[color=#FFFFFF]OOC:[color=#FFFFFF]IC: [color=#000000]As the others head hit his leg he drooped one hand down quickly stroke the black hair once, before using both hands on the wheel again. "Y-You alright?" Zack was more worried for the areas growing zombie population than for the cars future drive ability. This was a off road vehicle designed to go up and down mountains. He feelt safe it wouldnt tip just from this, which it thankfully didnt. It did sway dangerously on just its side wheels for a second or two, though.That had been so close. Much to close. "Looks like your plan worked. Now hold on, please."

He was happy for the small stroke, which held calm his nerves, but he nodded, "Y-Yeah." He was shaken up, its not like everyday you're thrown around a bit, and it was a little more intense since it was the only one he ever remembered. He only sat up when the car was back on all four wheels, and buckled up. "No need to ask me twice," he said, trying to lighten his own shaken mood. He was glad the other was driving, he would've panicked.

[color=#FFFFFF]OOC:[color=#FFFFFF]IC: [color=#000000]Despite the zombies pooping up more frequently, to the point of him actually needing to slow down to avoid any collisions, he feelt quite calm. He would have said he was actually enjoying himself, a first in a long time, if it hadn't been for a few issues. Mainly the soldiers tracking them so they could cut Zack up into tiny pieces at some lab, and do who knew what to Hide. The zombies starting to crowd outside was of course another bump in the road, metaphorically speaking. He hadn't run any of them over yet. Preferably he wouldnt need to either. Just in case it would damage the cars frame.
Speaking of a crowd. They got back on a forest road, somehow managing to find it as they were aimlessly wandering trough the woods. Deciding to follow the road, for now, at least, Zack slowed down somewhat. Casting a look at his... Boyfriend? Well, he had been the one to say they should be a couple. Hide hadn't exactly disagreed, so yea, probably. Just thinking that feelt so weird. A good and fuzzy weird, true, but still weird. Smiling to himself the blonde reached over and, getting a hold of Hides hand, rubbed his fingers soothingly. "You okay? You dont look to well."

He lost himself in his thoughts as they drive along, slightly bothered. He tended to get into periods where he grew more or less angry at himself as he tried to force himself to remember his past. Had he been in a crash before? It would explain the strange scar on his side, but that would mean he would've had more, right? Or something. It puzzled him greatly, causing even more distress then usual. He frowned at the outside world, he was almost certain something had popped into his head when he was thrown to the side, but what was it? His train of thoughts were interrupted by something grabbing his hand. Jumping slightly, it took him a heartbeat or two for him to realize it was just the other checking in, he let out a soft nervous chuckle, and shy smile, "O-Oh, yeah. I'm all good... Ahhh sorry, got lost in thought." Hide admitted softly.

[color=#FFFFFF]OOC: Rushed, sorry.[color=#FFFFFF]IC: [color=#000000]Nodding Zack begrudgingly turned his gaze back to the road. Though he refused to let go of Hides hand, continuing to softly rub the others fingers. "Oh, n-no... Im just glad youre alright." He shoot him a quick glance while smiling. He was just glad to hear he was fine. Being thrown about a speeding car like that could be dangerous. "You didnt hurt yourself when you fell, did you?"
[color=white]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[color=white]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -
He started to rub the other's hand in response to his worry, smiling softly. It was nice to know how the other did show concern for him. When he traveled with a small group before he met Zack, he always felt a twinge of jealously at the couple that headed to pack, and was now glad he found someone he could be comfortable with. Hide's smile widen as the other shot him a glance and smile, and shook his head. "No, I'm fine. Thanks for worrying though, I really mean it." He said, rubbing the other's fingers carefully.
//haha it's cool!!

[color=#FFFFFF]OOC:[color=#FFFFFF]IC: [color=#000000]Zacks eyes grew visibly more relaxed as he sighed. "Good. I wouldnt like seeing you hurt." He had never had anyone he liked want to be more than friends, and mostly not even that. Perhaps that was why he was worrying so much for Hides safety. Or maybe that was just because he didnt want to be lonely anymore. Noticing the road was starting to disintegrate back into woodland terrain he squished Hides hand with his own before letting go. Using both hands on the wheel. "So... Eh, where do you want to go from here? I think I know where we are compared to the shelter where we meet, though I am not sure. So, do you want to head back that way? Or go somewhere else?" The blonde wondered shyly. He had no place where to go, and besides surviving, no real goal in mind either. Considering Hides memory loss he suspected the other didnt either, but he wasn't sure. Maybe he at least had some good ideas as to what they should do.
[color=white]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Relief flushed through him as the other relaxed. He hated it when other's around him were worked up or something, it tended to cause himself to get stressed out. He was slightly disappointed when the other let go, he felt rather cheesy in wanting to say he didn't want to though. And childish. But he shook off the thought at the blonde's question. "I was planning on heading north, plenty of places that are more green and nice there." He hesitated slightly, "And... I had promised to meet someone there... But it was a long time ago..." He shyly mumbled. What a stupid idea.

[color=#FFFFFF]OOC:[color=#FFFFFF]IC: [color=#000000]"North..." Zack nibbled on his bottom lip in thought, trying to figure out what way that was. Looking up to see where the sun was coming from he adjusted the car accordingly, having to turn them almost completely around. "I dont have anywhere to be heading myself, so we can go north. It sounds like the best option anyway. And hey, we might still run across your friend. They might have been delayed just as much as you have in getting there." He smiled encouragingly at Hide, picking up somewhat on the last part turning to a mumble. If Hide had a friend that might still be alive he should help him find that person. Even if he hadn't been so fond of Hide as he was it was the right thing to do.

He watched the other figure out which way to go, which thoroughly impressed him. He tended to use how certain things grew to tell him the way, but Zack had figured out which way it was just by the sun. At the words and the smile, the dark hair colored male smiled wide. "Thanks Zack." He enjoyed how his frie- boyfriend was the way he was. He may be skiddish and all, but he was nice and it made getting along with him easier.

[color=#FFFFFF]OOC:[color=#FFFFFF]IC: [color=#000000]Felling the car jump slightly at the uneven ground Zack slowed down some so it wouldnt be as uncomfortable. As far as he knew they didnt have anyone following right now. Besides, if anything did show up he could just increase the speed then. "Isj. Dont think any of it. I am just wandering aimlessly around here anyway. ... In a way I think having some sense of where to go is good. Maybe I should be thanking you, Hide." He blushed at the last part, using one hand to tuck some of his hair away from his face and behind his ear. His blush depend a few seconds later when his stomach let out a complaining grumble. "Heh, right. We didnt get a change to eat anything." He hadn't even noticed how hungry he was until now, probably due to the close to capture incident.

He was glad when the other started to slow down, his stomach was getting a little queasy at the speed and bumps. He grinned wide as Zack blushed, it was rather cute, and always made him smile, he wasn't even sure why though. He chuckled at the sound of the stomach growl, and winked at him, "Don't worry. I'll get us something." He said looking back. He scrambled to the back, landing with a soft "omph" sound. He opened up the box, looking through it.

[color=#FFFFFF]OOC:[color=#FFFFFF]IC: [color=#000000]Zack followed Hide with his one eyed gaze until he disappeared behind the seats, at which he turned back to watching the road. "Thanks a lot Hide." If it hadn't been for the bodies littered here and there these woods could actually have been quite pretty. It was all covered in green growths and life. Life in general didnt seem to care whether they made it or not. Reminders like these were so bittersweet. "We should probably organize our supplies so were eating the least durable stuff first."
[color=white]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[color=white]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -
"No problem." He purred. At the last comment, he nodded in agreement, only to realize the other can't see him in the back seats, "Got it boss." He teased Zack softly. Grabbing from the random selection, he moved so he could rest his head on his shoulder, it was a bit awkward, but it didn't hurt or anything. He placed a kiss on his cheek. "How's this?" He asked holding up the random piece of food in his field of view, but didn't obstruct is view.

[color=#FFFFFF]OOC:[color=#FFFFFF]IC: [color=#000000]He had already blushed at the tease, now he blushed at the kiss as well. Zack glanced over to the foodstuff his boyfriend (hee, such a lovely chain of coincidences that was) was suggesting. Eyebrows going up in wonder. That was one of Hides mystery can, He had absolutely no idea what it contained. "Huh... I suppose its alright? Could I get an identification, please?"
