it's ok, and that does not seem rushed at all! ^^

~

dan chucked airily and shook his head, walking with her as they began to walk again. he wiped off the blood from his hands and face. he looked to her as she spoke up again, "i can stand doing it because i know it's basically a choice of life or death," he said simply with a small shrug. he smiled a little and blinked when tyler grabbed his arm. he let her but slowly moved their hands down and he took hers in his own, intertwining their fingers comfortingly, telling her that he was right there, everything was. And he would not leave her side.

daniel noticed her bit her lip, seeming rather afraid and shaken up, "you're ok," he reassured her once again softy, with that closed mouth, dimpled, reassuring soft smile of his. he pointed to a building up ahead, "how about we look in there?" he suggested.

he then got an idea, "actually, where abouts did you start out with jo? where was the last time you saw him?" he questioned. because if she knew that and they could get back to that place, they could start looking in the buildings near there. as joey being only a kid, may not have gone far and just hidden in the closest building he could find.

"well, how about we search in that building just in case?" he suggested lightly, it's not like his idea would be correct, and a close building to them could be a good start. the more he thought about their intertwined fingers, her hand in his grasp, the more it made him think of grace.

daniel frowned, it just occurred to him, it was about time he moved on from her, stop grieving over someone who wasn't coming back, who took her life right beside him without any goodbye. he nodded to himself, with his spare hand he furrowed around in his back pocket. he pulled out a photo of him and grace, it was crinkled up, but it was the only one he had left. they both looked so happy, she was very pretty. she was laughing and he was kissing her cheek but smiling, there were in the snow. they looked so adorable, happy, they looked.... normal.

he smiled a little, but it was sad, glancing to tyler. he then, with one more look at the picture, he let it go. it slipped out of his fingers, taken away by the wind, "goodbye, grace," he had whispered as it flew from his grasp. he had tears eyes, but he was somewhat smiling, for tyler's sake. he sniffed and wiped his eyes with his spare hand, "it was about time i moved on," he whispered.

dan had realised, he had finally let someone in again, which is why he felt he could let his happy self go, just for a few seconds. because he knew that tyler would be there to comfort him.

[fancypost borderwidth=0px; font-size: 8pt; font-family: arial; text-align: justify;]
dan was letting grace go now because he knew he would have to some day, and now he had someone else to focus on, he didn't have his mind clouded with grace anymore, he was able to let her go and stop grieving, because he knew that tyler was going to be there for him. he then chuckled, he gentle soul was laughing at himself for getting in the state he was.

he wrapped an arm around her waist as she did to him, keeping his friend close. he looked up to the building once they reached it, it had at least 5 floors at a guess. he moved from her side and took the place in walking in front of her, he didn't want to risk anything. "stay close," he murmured quietly, not wanting to alert any company they may have when they entered this building.

daniel couldn't hear any zombies as yet, which was a good thing of course. out of human instinct, your immediate reaction would be to call for joey. but they couldn't, that would be the worst thing to do, that would be like sentencing yourself to death. any loud human noise would bring zombies running. he frowned as he noticed a slumped body in a corner of the room they had entered.

he kept his knife handy in his hand just in case this human was turning. but the body wasn't moving. he motioned tyler not to come any closer as he approached the body of a man, maybe around dans age a little younger, maybe more like tyler's age. he soon realised the boy was dead, he crouched down in front of the body, this was not a zombies doing.

he looked round his shoulder to tyler, "we need to be careful, it was a gun that killed this man," he murmured. daniel was extremely intelligent, you could see him working this all out in his head, and quickly. he knew his stuff. "which means there must be groups going around killing for supplies, anything they can get their hands on," he muttered, he shrugged, "another way of mugging basically," he simplified his words.

he sighed, turning back to ty, "come on then, lets keep going," he said, holding out his hand for her to take encouragingly. he made his way up the next flight of stairs, fully alert for any sounds, but this building was silent, you could hear a pin drop. which was a little concerning and did make your heart race a little.

[fancypost borderwidth=0px; font-size: 8pt; font-family: arial; text-align: justify;]dan groaned when she spoke and started to shove him, "no..." he groaned, eyes still closed. the more she pushed him, the more he fell closer to the side of the bed, he went to more so he could get up but instead he just fell onto the floor. he grunted, "ouucchhh," he grumbled, finally getting to his sleepy feet. he stood and yawned, rubbing his eyes and stretching. he grabbed his towel and sleepily went to go and shower.

[fancypost borderwidth=0px; font-size: 8pt; font-family: arial; text-align: justify;]
dan frowned as he watched tyler scavenge through the papers in all the files and cabinets. he slowly came to her side for a closer look. he was confused, how did she know that meant joey had been here, "ok, well that means..." he murmured, now trying to figure it out himself. he looked around the room, going to the door. he pushed it back a forth for a minute, "it's stiff, meaning it hasn't been opened for a while,' he mumbled to himself. he then looked to the window, it was open.

daniel put his head through the window and looked down, attached to a pipe that was attached to the building wall was some kind of material that looked like some kind of rope, that lead all the way down to the ground. "well, i think your little joeys an escape artist," he said, pointing down the window. "which means he has more than likely gone that way," he said, pouting straight out the window.

he was suddenly grinning, "come on, a little detour never hurt anybody," he said, obviously daniel being daniel, he wanted to climb down through the window, not just back down the stairs. he clambered through the window, making sure there were now zombies around on the ground. he then turned round so he was facing tyler and grabbed the rope. he climbed down, feet on the wall, grasp on the rope.

dan looked up to her, and went to speak, but remembered he couldn't raise his voice. he beckoned her quickly down, they couldn't waste anytime and he didn't want anything to sneak up on her from behind in that building.

as tyler was climbing down the rope, he narrowed his eyes, seeing a dark figure appear in the room they had just left. uh oh. that was no zombie, it must've been one of the people killing to mug. "ty, hurry up," he said urgently. the guy leant over the window and watched tyler, giving a sickening, evil grin.

the guy then got out his knife, and simply cut the top of the rope. daniel's eyes widened, he ran forward and luckily caught tyler in his arms. his heart was racing, that was close, too close.

[fancypost borderwidth=0px; font-size: 8pt; font-family: arial; text-align: justify;]dan chuckled, "come on in," he called, "it's nothing you've never seen before," he joked, talking about him in the shower. he peeked round the shower curtain, "are you going to come with me today? or are you doing something else you have planned?" he questioned, now stopping the shower and stepping out of it, grabbing his towel and starting to dry himself.

[fancypost borderwidth=0px; font-size: 8pt; font-family: arial; text-align: justify;]dan nodded, "ok, don't worry i won't be long, i promise," he said. he got changed into some black skinny jeans, a grey shirt but with a jumper over the top. he often wore layers to hide his skinny body. he took her hand, "give me a kiss," he murmured. he kissed her gently and gave her a hug, "i'll see you later,' he whispered. he got on his shoes and jogged downstairs, calling a goodbye before leaving, walking with his head down and hands in his pockets, his signature look. he arrived at the cafe and grinned seeing his mates, waving. it was weird, even if he was the youngest and the only one still in school, he never at all felt out of place. kyle was 19, woody was 20 and will was 21, dan was still 17.

daniel's heart was thumping, he really thing for a minute he had lost her. he held her tight for a moment in his arms before letting her down. he grabbed her hand, glancing ack to the man who was stood in the building. she was right, "come on," he said. he kept her hand in his tightly and sprinted with her for a bit, just to get out of their sight.

he kept their fingers intertwined, their arms close, just to comfort her. and honestly, he enjoyed it, feeling close to her like this. dan chuckled lightly at her comment, "so he was organised then?" he said, looking up as they approached the next building.

he frowned, narrowing his eyes once again as he saw someone watching them through a window of one of the floors. he quickly made out that that person had a gun, aiming it at them. "oh for god sakes," he growled through gritted teeth. he grabbed ty and pulled her out of their sight and gun shot. he got off his bag quickly and started to fish through it.

daniel then suddenly pulled out a gun, it was only a pistol, but he had got it from the mugging he was definitely not proud of. he loaded it and looked to tyler. he sighed, "look, i know you are not a fan of killing, but im not taking any risks, this man is out to kill," he said firmly, putting his bag back on.

though you could see daniel was not afraid, not at all. he went back into sight of the guy, and in gun shot. "hey look! im right here, take a shot buddy!" he called, putting his hands up. the guy did take a shot, but luckily dan dodged it, it narrowly missed the side of his head. though dan laughed, "you missed!" he exclaimed.

while the guy tried to desperately re load his gun, dan took a shot, getting him square in the head. he sighed and looked to tyler with a small shrug, "it had to be done, im sorry," he said as he approached her. he held out his hand for her to take, "lets keep going," he said softly.

[fancypost borderwidth=0px; font-size: 8pt; font-family: arial; text-align: justify;]
im a little busy, sorry it's kinda sloppy love. also, i was wondering, maybe once they find jo, they could realise they do want something more than friendship and they could kiss or something, but not act on it too soon and just kinda be together, but... not? if you get what i mean. sorry im useless at explaining lmao ^^

~

dan sighed, he felt bad because of tyler's reaction, but it had to be done, and he knew she knew that. "hey, hey, hey hey, shhhh," he whispered softly, bringing her into a hug before they started to walk again. he rubbed her back, "im only doing what needs to be done, i don't want you dead, i am not taking risks," he whispered, "im protecting you, i promise, and i really hope you can see that."

he slowly pulled out of the hug and started to walk with her again, keeping her hand tightly in his. he gave her an encouraging smile and squeezed her hand back, "yeah that's a good idea, i think that jo may of gone further than this anyway, maybe he had the same idea as us, find somewhere quiet."

daniel kept tyler close as he walked swiftly with her away from where they had just caused chaos. every now and again you'd hear a scream of pain, a gun shot, or a zombies yell. he looked at ty when she looked at him after the gunshot. he pulled her into his side and kissed the side of her head again, he was so comforting in that way, his sweet little motions.

after walking for about 20 minutes, they were totally somewhere else. dan actually hadn't been in this place before, it was new to him. "so, do you still think buildings are the best place to start looking? would he remember to get to higher ground?"

[fancypost borderwidth=0px; font-size: 8pt; font-family: arial; text-align: justify;]
aw thank you very much xo

~

dan had laughed at her extremely late reply, but he understood she was just taking in her surroundings, getting lost in thought, he did it a lot himself. "am i boring you?" he teased. he then nodded, "right, come on then," he said, heading with her to the apartment complex she had spoken about. he put his gun into the back of his trousers and under his t shirt, so if they bumped into someone they wouldn't feel threatened or try to attack through fear. though he did keep his pen knife in his hand.

once they reached the complex, he looked around the ground floor, again like the last building there were in, was dead silent. no bodies, nothing. after a minute of looking around the room, daniel jumped at the sound of something being dropped a few floors up, maybe the one directly above them.

he swallowed hard and kept tyler close, "that could either be a zombie, a killer, or jo," he whispered. "stay behind me," he murmured. he slowly took his gun from out his trousers and kept it tight in his grasp. he very slowly and carefully started in the first step. luckily, the wooden steps did not creak, yet.

daniel was holding his breath, he could hear his heart thumping, he wished, he really hoped it was joey. slowly, he made his way up the satire, keeping ty behind him. he then heard moving around in the room there would approach after going up the stairs they were on.

once they got to the room, luckily in complete silence. he leant against the wall with tyler just beside the door. he took deep breaths and looked to her, "i will go first, you stay here until i know who it is," he said extremely quietly.

should it be jo??

[fancypost borderwidth=0px; font-size: 8pt; font-family: arial; text-align: justify;]dan talked with his mates, they had decided on creating this band 'bastille.' also, being he only one still in school, and he didn't have long to go, he decided to just drop out and focus on the band as his career. he knew it was a risky idea and kate probably wouldn't approve, but he decided he would. once they were all done and organised the days they would rehearse and how the hell they would start this up, they all left. dan walked back to kate's, well, home, swiftly. he opened the door, "kate? im home babe."

[fancypost borderwidth=0px; font-size: 8pt; font-family: arial; text-align: justify;]
dan took a deep breath and slowly put his gun away, not able to resist her pleading eyes. "stay there," he mouthed to her, putting a hand up in gesture. he kept his pen knife in his hand, you could never be too sure. like always, he counted down to prepare himself, it basically seemed to cam his body, keep the adrenaline steady before he would move.

daniel quickly opened the door, only to be surprised by a young boy, sitting in the middle of the room, fiddling with files and papers and what not. a huge grin slowly spread across dans lips, the little boy was a spitting image of tyler, he knew it was jo.

thank the lord, one day of searching and we had found him! i don't think ive ever been so delighted to see a little boy on his own in the middle of a zombie apocalypse he thought to himself.

"hey little fella," he said softly, his voice quiet. "it's ok, im not going to hurt you, i promise," he whispered, picking his pocket knife away, "my names dan, im here to help," he said, now crouched down to joey. "im a friend of your sisters, look, i can take you to her now. yeah? come on then,' he said softly, his voice still soft and quiet. he picked up the little boy, he wasn't sure how old joey was but he looked young, maybe with his disability it made h look a lot younger than he was, dan would have guessed around 7 or 8 maybe.

he carried the little boy slowly out, a closed mouth smile was fixed on his lips. as he walked out the door with joey in his arms, he looked to the awaiting tyler, he didn't even have to say anything.

[fancypost borderwidth=0px; font-size: 8pt; font-family: arial; text-align: justify;]dan chuckled seeing her look sleepy and she yawned, he placed his hands on her hips, "napping by any chance?" he teased giving her a kiss. he looked around the house, "you've done a great job though!" he praised, the place looked spotless. "oh i was thinking, i want to take you out for a meal tonight," he smiled, gently stroking her hair out her eyes and off her forehead, placing a kiss there instead.

[fancypost borderwidth=0px; font-size: 8pt; font-family: arial; text-align: justify;]
daniel didn't feel awkward at all, he was just so happy for these two siblings, they finally found each other again. he watched, leaning his side against the wall, arms crossed over his chest with a big smile on his face. he was so happy to see tyler so happy, her and her happiness caused him his happiness.

he watched the little boy scurry back into the room quite happily. he turned back to suddenly have tyler in his arms. he chuckled slightly and kept her close, her head buried in his chest. "it's my pleasure," he whispered, kissing the top of her head for a log moment, his eyes shut. he swayed them slightly, to calm her, and just because it fit the moment.

he stroked her hair, resting his cheek on her head, "im so happy i could help, find a person as amazing as you," he whispered. "and im over the moon we found joey, i don't think i would be able to forgive myself if we didn't," he admitted. he really was determined to find this little boy, all for her.

which at that thought, made everything come down to earth, down to reality. how could he be so blind? of his own feelings? of course he had feelings for this girl, otherwise why would he be so protective? so loving and caring? help her even with the high risk of death? leave his home behind? all for her.

daniel looked down to her, studying her face as she studied his. this was more than friendship to him.... this was his everything, he couldn't believe he was just realising all this. he was in love with her, he'd fallen for her. even though he hated himself for falling so easily, he was glad he had his feelings sorted out.

slowly, he raised a hand and gently stroked her hair out her face, tucking the strand of hair behind her ear affectionately.

[fancypost borderwidth=0px; font-size: 8pt; font-family: arial; text-align: justify;]dan sighed when she brought up the band, and school. "alright, well you know all the others are out of school..." he started, rubbing the back of his neck. "and of course i will go to prom with you, but.... we decided that it was best for me to drop out," he murmured, "it would allow me to focus in the band, we could make a career out of it... i would be earning money, buy us a place, really start our life," he said, gently caressing her cheek. "it may sound crazy now, but just think about the amazing opportunities this brings, the band could get big! you never know..."

[fancypost borderwidth=0px; font-size: 8pt; font-family: arial; text-align: justify;]
aww this is so sweet cxxx

~

daniel couldn't help but smile when she did, he studied her eyes, seeing how happy she was. his eyes then dropped to her lips, he knew he shouldn't think about it, but he was. but to his surprise, she slowly leant in.

dans heart was thumping in his chest as their lips very slowly connected, both their eyes falling closed. it was strange how normal this felt, how right it felt. he felt himself bringing her closer to his body, their lips in sync perfectly with each others. his hand had come up and rested on the back of her head, fingers tangled in her hair.

after what felt like forever, the kiss slowly ended as they both pulled away for breath. it was as if for those 10 seconds or so, the world around them had completely vanished, like they were in their own little bubble. he looked at tyler, a grin now spread on his lips as he laughed lightly, their faces only inches apart. he was unsure what to say, so he just said a simple, "sorry," with a laugh, as if he was apologising for kissing back, though they both knew that the two of them enjoyed it.

daniel knew it from the moment they met, yes it was fate that brought them together, even if he didn't believe im fate, this hate convinced him. soul mates? he always thought that didn't exist either, even when he was with grace, it never convinced him, but now, he was slowly but surely changing his mind...

[fancypost borderwidth=0px; font-size: 8pt; font-family: arial; text-align: justify;]dan shook his head, "i know, i know it's crazy and a little stupid but please jut hear me out," he she softly. "we will for at least the first year or more be jut doing little pub shows to get known, only local little shows," he whispered, "and if it really doesn't go anywhere, i could ask woody if i could get a job in the music shop where he works." he kissed her nose, "it's going to be fine, and if we ever, ever get the honour of going on tour as a band, then you will be coming with me, every step of the way," he promised.

[fancypost borderwidth=0px; font-size: 8pt; font-family: arial; text-align: justify;]dan smiled and kissed her back softly, "ok, and yeah the movie is at 7 and then im taking you for a meal," he smiled softly. "i love you so much baby," he whispered, kissing her once more. he pulled her close to his chest, rubbing her back gently to help calm her body too. he shut his eyes and fell asleep minutes afterwards, they had just shared a lot of effort, making dan rather tired himself.

[fancypost borderwidth=0px; font-size: 8pt; font-family: arial; text-align: justify;]
dan chuckled and even blushed a little, shaking his head and looking down sweetly. he poked her nose back playfully and smiled as she took his hands in her own. he brought their hands up to his lips and kissed the back of her hand. he turned, looking over at joey and he walked in ever so silently, that was the connivence of being small.

"it's lovely to finally meet to joey, ive heard an awful lot about you," he said kindly, shaking his hand gently. as perfect as this moment was, he was fully aware that there could be anything or anyone around them at any time. he rubbed tyler's back, "we should get going," he whispered, looking out to see the sun setting. he then looked to tyler and jo, he smiled seeing the little boy doing the exact same lip bite that tyler did, they were so similar.

he decided that it would probably take too long to get all the way home safely with this 12 year old before dark. he looked into the room where they had found jo, there was a bed that he was sure tyler and jo could fit on, he didn't care where he slept. "let's stay in here," he murmured, it was still silent; and if a little boy like jo survived in here for at least a couple days, they could definitely survive a night. it was calm around here.

he lead the two siblings in, setting his bag down and getting out his blankets, putting them on the bed. he then smiled his signature, dimpled closed mouth smile at them, "im sure it's safe enough for us to stay the night," he spoke softly, his voice lowered just in case. he locked the door just in case, you could never be too safe. better to be safe than sorry.

everything was turning out so perfectly, they had found jo, they had well... kissed, and he guessed they were probably together now. it was all working out great, even to the point he was doubting this was real, and in moments he would wake up in his tree house, alone. but no, to his delight this was all reality.

[fancypost borderwidth=0px; font-size: 8pt; font-family: arial; text-align: justify;]
daniel was definitely not using tyler as some kind of rebound from grace; he would never, ever do that do anyone, especially tyler. he wasn't sure what they were now, though he did know for sure what he wanted them to be. he'd have to wait and see.

dan sighed and looked to the door with a light shrug, "i doubt it, not after all this," he murmured rather sadly. he gently nudged her chin softly with his two fingers, in an affectionate way. "get some sleep, i will watch, don't worry," he insisted kindly. he took her hand and led her over to the bed. he helped tuck her in beside jo.

he smiled softly down at her, "and i will be right here when you wake up," he whispered. he leant down and placed a long kiss on her forehead, his eyes closing for that brief moment. once he had pulled away he opened his eyes and looked down at her, his thumb gently running across her cheekbone, "goodnight, tyler," he whispered.

daniel then sat down with his back against the bed, legs stretched out. he was quite happy to be in guard, he would rather get no sleep than have one of them killed. he kept his gun in his lap and his pen knife in his hand. in his spare hand, he had reached up and taken tyler's hand, it was again one of those comforting reminders she needed that he was there, always would be.

he noticed the young boy was already fast asleep, looking pretty comfy in a strange way. dan would get him fed in the morning, not wanting to disturb his slumber. he was happy that kiss happened, but he just couldn't stop thinking about it. he wanted a relationship with tyler, but with everything going on, was that a good idea?

he decided it was, it would inevitably bring them closer, he could protect her easier, comfort her easier. and he was almost certain it would make the two of them so happy, it definitely would him. he shook his head slightly, they would discuss it tomorrow, right now he had to focus in keeping these two safe. these two people that he could probably now call his family. he smiled at the thought.
