New World [Gay Chandler Riggs/1D fusion fanfic]

Chapter 23

Chandler's POV

I was ready to cut off my leg with my knife; after standing on it all this time it would have been less painful. Cole tried to help me lay down but I couldn't relax "No Cole, not yet" I said, leaning against the wall for a quick rest "I have to do something before I can relax". Cole raised an eyebrow "Chandler look around you, this place is safe". "If I listened to people when they said that where they were staying was safe, I would have been dead a long time ago; you shouldn't trust them either".

"I don't trust them, Chandler, I trust my sister" Cole repiled. I saw his point, but unless I checked for myself I wouldn't be able to sleep comfortably. "Fine, let me go with you; the last thing I need is for you to fall somewhere" he sighed. We walked passed the stores that Cole's Uncles and Jordan's family were staying in and walked to the end of the airport.

Every exit either had a soldier standing next to it or was barricaded shut; I had to admit this place was pretty secure. As soon as we came back from walking the airport Cole unrolled the sleeping bag, gave me some painkillers and I knocked the hell out.

Cole's POV

"You know when you finally got a boyfriend I didn't think you'd pick...someone like him" my sister said behind me, turning around she was carrying several bags. "What do you mean?" I asked as she sat next to me. "I always assumed that you'd go after someone like you: bookish, quiet, polite; Chandler looks like he'd be able to walk through a wall just because he'd be too stubborn to go around. Or are you just with him because of the sex?" she chuckled

"Um..." was all I said but my sister laughed "Really? You're still a virgin? Geez bro get some of that" Ana said as she pushed me with her elbow and nearly caused me to fall on Chandler. "It's different, Ana; Chandler has some very serious, deep emotional scars that he's just starting to work through." "You know what else helps people get over their past? A good lay, just saying" Ana said with a crooked smile.

"I'm assume you lost your virginity then?" I asked. Ana nodded "Yeah, the guy's dead now but I'm speaking from experience when I say that good sex helps people; that guy helped me get over Uncle Niall's death". I snorted "Ana you're vastly different from me, even though you're my twin you and I couldn't be more different" I said as I gently moved some hair out of Chandler's face, in his sleep Chandler pushed his head into my hand.

"I'll talk to him after he wakes up, establish dominance and all that" Ana said as she unrolled her own sleeping bag. I chuckled "Chandler might actually stand up to you, you should have seen him go off on Jordan the other day" I joked as I wiggled in between Chandler's arms to go to sleep. "I missed you Cole" Ana said after a moment a silence "I missed you more sister" I said before I buried my face into Chandler's chest to fall asleep.

I was woken up by soft voices the next morning, opening my eyes I was looking at a wall; rubbing my face I sat up and saw Chandler and Ana talking together, whispering. "Look it's absolutely none of your business" Chandler was saying. "He's my brother, my twin brother, so yes it is; I want to make he's safe" Ana shot back. "That doesn't mean you need to know anything about my past" Chandler snapped.  

Ana crossed her arms "I don't like your tone right now". Chandler snorted "And I don't like how you're trying to pry into my life". I was disappointed, I wanted so badly for my sister and Chandler to get along but I guess I should have seen this coming: you can't have two Alphas in a pack.

"Good morning" I said, Chandler's head whipped around "Hey, how did you sleep?" He asked as he got to his feet and walked over to me; Ana's eyes narrowed as Chandler left, apparently she wasn't finished with the conversation."I slept ok" I answered Chandler kissed me on the cheek but after, whispered in my ear "Tell your sister to back off or things are going to get really bad, really fast".

"Hey kids" Uncle Liam said, holding the baby and dissolving the tension "How did everyone sleep?" Ana stood up "Well everyone seems to be awake, let's go see Oshihiro for your job interviews".

-

All of us sat in the chairs that appeared in Oshihiro's apartment; all of us faced her desk and she had some papers in front of her; Ana and another guy stood beside her.

The guy was a greek god of a man; his shoulders were so broad that he could have easily hugged Ana and I at the same time, his tight shirt hinted at the defined, chiseled physique hidden underneath the cloth but his large, bare biceps were shown proudly as he had his arms crossed at the moment with a thoughtful look on his face, watching the girls. The guy was a redhead, but instead of the bright orange hair that some redheads had, it was a deep dark red; not quite brown, no one would have described this guy as a brunette. His face was somehow insanely hot but still boyish and adorable at the same time, his warm brown eyes just invited you in.He was also tall, about Dad's height, which meant that my forehead would have been on his nose. 

"This is Sergeant Neuhart, Ana's subordinate and the head of security here" Oshihiro said, Neuhart gave a slight nod as Oshihiro went on "So everyone here has a job: you work, you eat. Pretty simple and fair right?" Oshihiro pulled out a deck of playing cards "We use cards as currency, Ace's are one, two are two, three are three and so on, the face cards are all eleven; today we will decide what your job is and how much you'll get paid. Your boss will give you cards based on your wage and you can use them to buy food and water and whatever else you want".

Ohsihiro pulled out a pen "Ok so we'll just go down the row and just tell me what you used to do before all of this happened and we'll see if we can work with that" she turned to Chandler, Eric and I who sat at the very end "We'll get to you three last since you're younger and probably didn't work". "So, Jordan is it? What did you use to do?" Oshihiro asked as she uncapped her pen "I was the general manager of a Starbucks" he said Oshihiro nodded "Leadership role" she mumbled to herself "Was that the only job you've had?"

Katelyn hid a smile behind her hand and Jordan turned a bright red "Well...um...no...but I don't think it's...relevant...to what you're...looking for" Jordan stuttered. "You don't have any idea what I'm looking for" Oshihiro said, tapping her pen against her desk with slight annoyance like a school teacher.Jordan nodded "I was...um...an exotic dancer since I was eighteen until my early twenties" he said to the floor.

"You were a stripper?" Oshihiro said as everyone turned to stare at Jordan; Jordan coughed "Yeah, that's actually how I met Katelyn" he said before looking at her. "Now that's a story I have to hear" Uncle Zayn said with a smirk that only made Jordan turn even more red. Oshihiro folded her hands together "You'll work in one of the shops then for 5 points an hour" she said before writing it down on the paper in front of her

Katelyn and Aurora were both graphic designers which didn't impress Oshihiro at all; Zayn became a mechanic to work on the fleet of vehicles they had and Liam actually become a pilot after mentioning that he's flown a helicopter once during a search and rescue. Both of them would work for eleven points, dollars, whatever, an hour.

Finally it was our turn "Chandler, I would like you to join Ana's team and help secure supp-" Ohsihiro started saying, but Chandler cut her off "No". Oshihiro's eyebrows went up "Excuse me?" Chandler placed an arm around my shoulders "No, thank you". Oshihiro placed her elbows on her desk "If you don't work you won't eat, we don't give handouts here". "Alright" was all Chandler said.

Oshihiro turned to me but before she could speak Neuhart said "Captain, I would like request a series of exercises to be done with the dogs, I believe they can be used in the security of the airport". Oshihiro nodded so Neuhart started walking to the door "Cole, please come with me and bring your dogs" he said over his shoulder. I got up and followed him out, I could feel Chandler's eyes on me as I walked out.
