You should probably learn to cook.
"Dudee staying inside all the time is boring" Lucas says while throwing a ball at his ceiling, in some attempts to not be bored out of his mind. "Chill, it's only been like 4
days" JJ says with a laugh Lucas lets out a dramatic groan as he sits up and walks towards the kitchen, grabbing his cigarettes and lighter. JJ follows him grabbing his axe on the way out.. just in case. They both sit at the table in the backyard, Lucas lighting his cigarette and then lighting the one JJ stole out of his pack. "What do we do, like shouldn't we try and find people? People who know what they're doing.. Maybe an adult or something?" JJ asks Lucas with a hint of concern and anxiousness in his voice. "Nah man we got this, guns, axe, knives what more could we need?" Lucas replies with a small laugh. He sounds so carefree but something tells JJ he's secretly nervous, maybe it's the way his hands shake everyday, he doesn't seem to sleep a lot either. They both head back inside, making sure the back door is completely locked. Lucas doesn't really care whether it's locked or not but JJ is paranoid that somehow a zombie will hop the fence and wander inside.
"You should probably learn how to cook." JJ says as they eat their dinner consisting of a microwave meal, they're lucky the power still works, if not they'd probably starve to death due to their lack of culinary skills. "You learn to cook, why do I have to do it?" Lucas asks defensively but in a joking manner "I don't know, you're older so you gotta take care of me." JJ says with a laugh "Okay first of all, i'm like a year older? And secondly you willingly came into my house, almost murdering me in the process. So YOU should cook. I deserve compensation for the trauma you've caused me." Lucas says jokingly as he eats his meal. "Okay fine, we can both cook, deal?" JJ asks stretching out his hand to make a deal with Lucas. "Hell no, i'll gather ingredients, you cook." Lucas says. They shake hands as JJ rolls his eyes and lets out a fake sigh. "Aye man, i already know how to hotwire, drive and i'm the one protecting us, I'm the main part of this operation. You gotta chip in somehow." Lucas says, earning a laugh and small shove from JJ.
The sun sets and JJ goes around the house making sure everything is safe, Closing all the blinds, making sure the windows are locked, Making sure the doors are locked and shut tight. After he's decided the house is safe enough for the night he heads to Lucas' room where Lucas is already in bed, fake sleeping. JJ lays in the bed next to him, close but not enough to push any boundaries. "Sleeping in here again?" Lucas asks as he props himself up on his arm and looks at JJ. "Yeah, is that okay?" JJ asks kind of nervously "Of course man, to be honest i don't wanna sleep alone either, all this shit makes it hard to sleep. You help though.." Lucas says, his cheeks getting slightly warm as he starts to blush a little, embarrassed about what he just said. 'I help?' JJ thinks to himself, once again his stomach gets butterflies, his head gets fuzzy.
'God i can't seriously like this dude i mean.. It's weird right? I'm just not used to having a friend like this.. It's normal to feel this way with your friends, right?!' JJ thinks to himself, getting completely lost in thought like always "JJ helloooo?" Lucas asks, snapping his hand in front of JJ's face, making him snap out of his trance. "Oh shit sorry, got lost in thought kind of" JJ replies with a small laugh, face getting red from embarrassment "What were you thinking about?" Lucas asks him, scooting a little closer and putting his hand on JJ's hip. "I uhh.. Just that I've never really had a friend like you before.. Maybe we met in weird circumstances but I like it.. Or whatever" He says nervously, the only thing he can focus on is Lucas' touch. "Yeah I get it, I haven't really had a close friend before either, the way we met was definitely a little weird but it's nice not having the house to myself for once." Lucas replies, pulling JJ a little closer.
"GET UP" JJ hears as he jumps awake, getting hit in the face with something "Ugh what the hell dude.." He says, clearly annoyed from the rude awakening. "Sorry I got bored, you sleep forever." Lucas says ripping the blankets off him like he does every morning. They do their morning routine of breakfast and an energy drink and going to the backyard to smoke. "Yo what the hell?" Lucas says as they walk back inside from smoking, the house is dark and there's no fans running like usua, the tv is cut off too. "Shit did we finally lose power?" JJ says as he flicks the light switch up and down just for nothing to happen. "Goddamnit." Lucas says as he shuts the backdoor pretty hard, clearly annoyed. "It's alright dude.. We got those batter packs from the store, they should last a while. Just gotta cook over a fire and shit" JJ says laughing earning a very unamused look from Lucas
