Red - A Warriors Fan Fic

Decisions

You Cochise and Vermin had all been walking for a half hour. You were taking the long way back to the station; to avoid the crowds of people and lay low. You couldn't avoid everyone though, and hid in the darkness when groups or gangs would emerge into sight.

You were almost back now though, and you had begun to feel calmer with the lights surrounding the streets. You could see the damage that had been done all around you guys. Flipped over cars, low burning fires, smashed-in store windows. But the cops had come out shortly after you three had taken cover, and the streets were near empty now.

You were walking behind the two of them, looking around to keep yourself distracted. Your eyes kept following onto the back of Vermin when you weren't. You never noticed it before, but he had a really nice ass. His light blue jeans enhanced this, and you had to look away before you had any more bad thoughts.

You noticed now that you were approaching the sign for the train station. You followed them through the stairwell, and up to the platform. There were only a few people around, so you three stuck to the corner, to be hidden out of sight from possible cops.

"Man, this ain't right." Vermin said. "I hate waitin' for trains." He complained. "Better then waiting in that abandoned shack." Cochise quipped. You nodded in agreement.

Eventually the train pulled onto the track, and you three boarded onto an empty cart. Good. You could stand away from Vermin; to avoid temptation. But this wasn't the case.

The train ride was an hour and a half, give or take. Even with a couple people boarding and getting off through the trip, and Vermin being a few seats away from you; you could still feel the gravitational pull towards him. You knew he could feel it too. Embarrassingly enough though, it wasn't just you who thought this.

"What's with you two?" Cochise chirped. You looked over at him in shock, and Vermin flustered. "What?" He asked. Cochise gave him a knowing look.

"You've been givin' one another weird looks all night. You guys get into some fight when I was gone?" He asked, leaning onto the pole. You shook your head. "Nah, you're talkin' static." You said. "Just tired. I want to go home." You lied. Vermin nodded.

Cochise looked at you two closely, squinting with suspicion. "'Ight, whatever." He gave up. You quickly looked away and stared outside the window into the blackness.

You wondered if Vermin was feeling tense about the situation too, or maybe he didn't care about the consequences. You weren't sure of what the 'situation' even was. You knew you wanted to score with him, but you felt a strange feeling in the bottom of your stomach; as you did with Ajax. And if you were beginning to feel for him, then maybe you shouldn't do anything else with Vermin. You don't want to hurt yourself all over again.

You and been thinking all of this over for the entirety of the ride. "Moth." Cochise called out. You jolted out of your thoughts, and turned to look at him.

He and Vermin were standing at the doors, beckoning for you to come. "Shit, sorry." You said, jumping up from your seat. The doors begun to close on you, but Vermin held them open forcefully with both hands. You ducked underneath his arms closely, and the doors shut fast behind you. "Thanks." You muttered, looking up at him sheepishly.

You had grazed past him and felt another surge of attraction. What was coming over you? You snuck a look over your shoulder as you walked past. He had been looking at the back of you with a slight bit lip, and quickly tried to cover it up when he saw you looking. You turned back around and followed Cochise closer, smirking.

You three reached the apartment and climbed up the stairs. "Man, I am so glad to be home." Cochise said, pushing the door open. You three were welcomed to the sight of your warm-lit outfit. Some funk was playing over the stereo, and you could see Rembrandt on the couch from down the hallway. He looked up from his book and made a face of relief. "Hey, they're here!" He called out. You guys closed the door behind you, and squished into the thin hall. You let Cochise and Vermin walk ahead of you, seeing as though only one person could walk down it at a time. "You guys alright?" You heard Swan ask as you approached the living room; you couldn't see him over Vermin and Cochise's towering bodies. "Kinda." Vermin said. Swan frowned. You three slumped down on different seats, looking up at him. "What do you mean?" Swan asked. You looked at the two of them, and realized it was your turn to talk.
