14. Seen enough?

If there was a bit of ambiguity from her as she spoke, Hunter would definitely feel disgusted. Not because of her looks or anything but for not understanding what 'wrong time and wrong place meant'. But there wasn't so he nodded. "Thank you."

"No problem, we have to help each other." She smiled and checked his leg again, helped him walk and when there wasn't a problem she said goodbye. Hunter took a deep breath. If Lilly knew his backstory it would be problematic. But he wanted to know what he did in the past eleven years. By the way, according to Jack's ID he should be only eighteen years old now. Doesn´t that mean he was much older than the youth?

"Ten years older" he mumbled. That's a lot. But he doesn't remember more than being seventeen so actually Jack is a year older than himself. Like this it seemed more okay to be friends.

He tried walking again and besides feeling light numbness in his leg, it wasn't even a problem to jump. Good thing, he didn't have to use the wheelchair anymore, he finally gained a little strength since eating solid food. Even if it were just snacks. Being hungry was meanwhile a default setting.

Now the smell had gotten really unbearable so he began to wash up. He looked at the room, the window was not nailed shut but there wasn't wind and it wasn't cold, the temperature outside was absolutely balanced- neither hot nor cold. In the hospital it was colder... He remembered sleeping on the dead Jack and had to laugh. But he slept really well when Jack's heart started beating again. It was a really soothing sound. Till now this apocalypse was much more fun than his school life.

There was simple but modern furniture in dark red and black in his room, it was very much to his liking. There was sand everywhere and he really wished for a vacuum cleaner, but there was no electricity so - no. He had no idea if he could sleep on the bed with sand corns everywhere, but he could make do with the floor in the hospital so this would be a strange moment for beginning being picky.

It took forever till he was finally clean. Nick came over and brought him new clothes that fitted well. It was a black hoodie with washed out jeans. Hunter took the shaver and foam to Jack's door, Lilly mentioned it was across his, and he knocked. "Come in."

Hunter chuckled and opened the door saying "Now it's the other way around,..." He stopped as he looked at Jack being all clean and shirtless with only a towel around his hips. His body was really.... hot. Toned muscles that formed beautiful lines, he would love to draw him. "Wow, your body is awesome!" He complimented after a short contemplation if it would seem more gay to say it out loud after staring or not saying anything after staring. Not that he was gay, especially because he was straight he didn't want to be misunderstood. He even had a girlfriend.... though...after eleven years probably not anymore or he should be already married...but he had no ring on him.

Jack laughed "Thank you very much, please feast your eyes on me." He finished wiping his feet and took the jogging suit to Hunter asking hopefully "Do you think this can be cleaned without water?"

"It..." Hunter first looked at the oily and dirty fabric which smelled funny, then at Jack's sparkling, pleading eyes (?) and couldn't bring himself to say no. "Give it to me and I see what I can do..." .

"Kay'' Jack took the plastic bag Loki gave him while he was wiping himself down. He took the clothes out, put the jogging suit into it and gave it to Hunter. Then he changed into a new shirt and beach shorts in front of Hunter who was staring again. He felt a bit superior as his package was a little bit larger than Jacks.

"Seen enough?" Jack asked and Hunter nodded woodenly, Jack began laughing and the other followed suit. He placed the plastic bag with his new mission by the door and held the razor in front of Jack.
