Jason reciprocated the gesture. Smiling, his eyes remained wide open while watching the brunette as she spoke to him. “Yeah, you’re right, baby. Soon enough, we will need to get back on dry land. We’ll have a lot of business to attend to. Right now, though, it’s late and nobody is really up. We should just lay here, cuddle, and get some sleep. In the morning, we’ll figure everything else out.” Right now, Jason did not want to think about the negativity around them. He did not want to think about the horror waiting for them in the world.<br/><br/>It was obvious now that humans were just as bad as the infected. The young man did not care too much about the horrible things they had to face. Instead, all he cared about was being with Alicia, in the moment. “Let’s not talk about that now. Let’s just focus on each other, okay? That’s what I want to do right now. We’ll deal with the problems when we get there. But for now, I just want to hold you and kiss you. I want to keep forgetting about everything else that happened and that might happen in the future. I love you so much.”<br/><br/>After the last admission of love, Jason grew silent, deciding to get into a proper cuddling position. Her back was against his chest. His arms wrapped around her, hands locked together against her waist. Once in this cuddling position, Jason started to pepper kisses along her neck and her shoulder, feeling the strong need to be as close to Alicia as possible. He was so fortunate to have her, so lucky that today did not turn out in a much more tragic way. “You are everything to me. I’m never going to let you out of my arms again.” He whispered quietly, nuzzling his nose against her cheek.<br/><br/>He grew silent again, content to just simply cuddle with Alicia as they waited. His eyes closed, his face basically buried in her hair. It tickled his face and even though most guys might have found it annoying, it just felt like home for him since it made every inch of his body touch Alicia’s in some way. That was the best feeling to have, period.
