"Ok. We still have to walk a bit. Keep your eyes peeled." Chris informs all of you.
You nod and walk right after him.
You walk through the ruins of a town. You notice something and strap your rifle on your back. Running towards it you shout back "Can someone help me here ?!"
almost immediately Piers, Chris and Marco are at your side. You place your hands on the rock and push. You all grunt and pant but soon the rock falls down.
And then it hits you, this is your dad's land-rover. You gasp a bit. Reaching for your climbing axe you use it and break one of the windows.
"What are you doing ?!" Chris asks, completely confused.
You ignore him and reach inside the car to open the door. Once it is open, you climb in. 'Dad says he kept them under his seat.' you remember. You look under the driver's seat, and you find what you are looking for. You pull it out and jump out of the car.
You hold it up. Now you answer Chris "This is my dad's car. We were in there when....anyways, he told me he kept this under his driver's seat."
Marco, Piers and the rest of Alpha gather behind you. You already blush, just knowing he is standing right behind you. You feel his warmth against your back.
"And what is that ?" Chris asks again, a bit more curious this time. You put the knife-like things on your forearms. You snap your wrists and two blades stick out.
Many gasps are heard and you explain "My dad was a passionate hunter. He always had to carry a knife with him, that poked him somewhere. Some time later he found instructions how to craft these things. He wanted to give me my own on my next birthday. I guess it's a bit earlier. Anyways, is it ok if I use them ? They are good for close combat." You finish.
Chris looks at you with something that you would describe as protectiveness. You turn around. Finn looks at you in awe, Marco just smirks and Piers, who's standing right next to you, looks at you with a light blush, at least you think it is. Maybe it's just the cold. 'Yep. Most likely it's the cold.'
"If you know how to handle it and you don't attack us with these, I'm totally ok with that."
You grin widely.
"Ok. Let's get going. We have a long way to walk."

After some time you are in a forest. It's very chilly and you shiver with every wind that blows through the trees.
"Ok. I think we need to set up a camp. We need some guys to get fire wood, one or two to hunt some meat and the rest will set up the tents !" Chris orders.
You immediately raise your and and stutter "I-I will g-g-g-go and hunt some m-meat."
You need to move. Maybe you will warm up a bit.
"I'll go with her !" A voice shouts. And you immediately recognize it.
"Ok. (y/n) and Piers will go and find something to eat." Chris repeats. You mentally facepalm. 'Just my luck.'
Piers approaches you and stands beside you. Chris nods at the both of you. You look at Piers and motion him to follow you.
"Listen. I'll climb up there. I'll look around for something we can eat."
He nods and you begin to climb.
Once you are up there, you settle down between V-shaped branches.
"Do you see anything ?" Piers asks.
"Not yet. Oh wait...there's a deer. Alone. I can reach it from the trees. I'll go for it. Follow me."
Piers does as you order him to. You jump from branch to branch. You motion Piers to stop.
"Crouch down there. I'll get him."
You fix you stand and jump down. Snapping your wrist you aim for the deer's neck. You get it and the deer gives a cry.
Piers comes out and exclaims "Are you okay, (y/n) ?" He crouches down next to you and examines the deer.
"Yeah...I'm okay..." you answer panting.
"Can you help me carry this thing ?" You look up at him. Your (e/c) eyes are lost in hazel orbs. You snap back and look down to the deer, blushing.
"Of course." Piers says and swings it over his shoulders.

The walk back to the camp is silent. None of you dares to speak. It hurts. You miss talking to Piers. You miss his corny responses and his cocky attitude. You miss his laugh and the protectiveness you feel around him.
Back at the camp, darkness is already surrounding you. You are scared to hell, but you get yourself together and sit down on the camp fire.
The soldiers tell stories, they laugh and the atmosphere is great.
You feel a tap on your shoulder and turn around.
"Can I talk to you ? Just you and me ?" Piers asks almost hesitantly. You nod and you have that feeling in your stomach again as you stand up and follow him to a nearby tree.
"Listen (y/n)..I..I'm sorry if I upset you. It's just...I-I like you...more...than just...friends. If you don't feel the same or I did wrong, then I'm sor-"
Piers is cut off by you, pulling him down by grabbing his nape. You lock your lips with his and the heat in face increases extremely. He doesn't react to it and you think you fucked up, again. You are about to pull away and run away, but Piers wraps his arms around your waist and chest, holding the back of your head lovingly. Now he also responds to the kiss and smiles into it.
Your heart could die of palpitation. You feel so happy right now. But you break away panting.
Piers chuckles and presses a kiss to your forehead.
"I think I didn't do wrong ?" He asks with the cocky grin you missed so much. Unable to speak you just shake your head and bury your face in his chest. Piers presses a light kiss on top of your head.
You pull away "I'm sorry for running away. I just felt so embarrassed. I thought you wouldn't feel the same and I fucked up an-" You ramble on. You're cut off by Piers pecking your lips.
"No..I like you...No...I don't like you.." Piers says in a monotonous voice. You look at him with a frown.

"I love you, (y/n)."

"I love you too Piers."

Piers lifts you off the floor and spins you around. He holds you up and you lean down, kissing him passionately. During the kiss he sets you down. Piers breaks away and asks a bit breathless.
"Do you want to be mine then ?"
Your smile broadens and you throw your arms around his neck and jump into his arms. You whisper near his ear "I'd love to."
You smile at each other and kiss again.
After a few pecks your now boyfriend asks "You wanna join the others again ?"
You sigh and nod. Piers grabs your hand in his and intertwines his fingers with yours. You walk back to the camp. 'Oh my god. I can't believe it ! All the time he felt the same. His hands feels so warm around mine.' Your brain proceeds the events that just happened.

"Ohhhh look who's back." Marco teases. You look at Piers and he seems to sense your thoughts. He sits down near a tree trunk, leaning against it with his back. You sit down between his legs and lean your back against his chest. Piers wraps his arms around you and intertwines one of his hands with yours.
The others look at you. But only Chris says "Took you two long enough." he sips his coffee. You lean your head back to see Piers' reaction. He's raising an eyebrow and then he notices that you look at him. He pecks your lips and tightens his hold on you.
The other soon ask you questions about the two of you, which really doesn't make sense because you're a couple for like 5 minutes.
But soon enough everyone sleeps. You are laying with Piers holding you from behind.
"I won't let you go. He won't get you. I promise." he whispers, kissing the back of your head lovingly.
"Thank you. I love you." you whisper and hold his hand.
"I love you too." Piers whispers, secures his hold and you both drift off to sleep.
