"In A World This Cold" (Hal Mason au; part two)

(I don't even ship baggie or halgie but I prefer halgie and yeah this makes me sad lol sorry bye) ((I also thought I published this but I didn't))

"Perhaps we're just not supposed to love in a world this cold anymore." He looks at me and nods eventually.

"I'm sorry I invaded your tent and made you Dr. Phil." He says, going back to the Hal you knew. You laughed slightly, "Its fine, I don't mind." You smiled reassuringly.

"Did you and Ben...?" He raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, I broke up with him. It's just too much, were already fighting aliens and now we're fighting temptation and each other. I don't want anything to do with it anymore." You say, smiling tightly.

It wasn't the first time Ben and Maggie had kissed, you were done forgiving him and since he couldn't choose himself, you made it easy for him. You were already at war, it was ridiculous to even think you could find love in a hopeless, dirty, fucked up place.

"I told Maggie to choose, and she simply said his name. So, there's that." He says in a monotone voice. You bit your lip, not even sure of what you should say, so you kept quiet.

After a while, he cleared his throat. "I'll let you get to sleep, its getting late. Goodnight, (Y/n)." He says, standing and giving a weak smile.

"Night, Hal." You smile softly and he exited your tent.

"So what were you before the invasion?" You asked, looking over at him. He chuckled slightly, "I was just a dumb jock." He shrugs and you laugh slightly.

"Makes sense." You say and he playfully shoves you. You shove back and he laughs. "Okay, what about you? Prom queen or basket case?" He asks with a smirk and you scoff.

"Student council President." You correct and he lets out a loud chuckle. "Bullshit." He says through laughs and you hit his shoulder.

"I'm serious, I had the straightest of A's humanly possible, I was planning on going to Standford." You say, shrugging.

"Really?" He asks and you shrug again.

"It all seems so stupid now. Your whole life your told that you're eventually gonna graduate high school and then go to college, have a decent career, maybe even get married and eventually die. Nobody ever said there would be an alien invasion somewhere in the midst." He chuckled and you laughed slightly.

"They should've taught us how to load a gun instead of graphs. Guns would be useful even without the invasion since people are fucked up on their own." You hum in agreement and look around.

"It's quiet today." You say after a moment. He takes a deep breath, "Yeah. I don't know if that means I should enjoy it or watch my ass." You couldn't help but nod in agreement.

It had been a month or so since you and Ben broke up, him and Maggie were growing strong and you had gotten closer to Hal. You would say you had developed a minor crush on him, but you knew it could only end badly.

It was quiet as you two kept walking, trying to find a store or something that hadn't already been raided. You had your rifle in hand and Hal by your side, you felt safe in his presence.

"Think those have been raided?" You ask as he adverts his gaze to the surplus store your gesturing to. He shrugs, "Couldn't hurt to look." He says and you think about the fact that there could be a nest of skitters in there but quickly shook the negative thoughts away.

Hal was point while you flanked him, you both had you guns raised and ready to fire if needed.

"Clear." He calls out and as you walk all the way in, you were quickly knocked to the ground.

You gasped for breath as it knocked the wind out of you and heard the chittering of the rancid skitter that was on top of you. You tried reaching for your knife only to have it knocked out of your hand by the alien.

"Hal!" You screeched and not even a second later, you heard the echo of a bullet, felt the skitter fall on top of you, and its blood splatter on your face.

You cringed and whimpered as Hal got the thing off and away form you. "Gross." You mumble, wiping your face on your shirt.

"Yeah, totally clear." You say at Hal and he sighs. "I didn't see it and I saved your cute little ass. I think we're even."

You were forgiven when you called me cute, you thought to yourself.

You simply looked at the gun shop around you. It was a mess, there was paper and empty boxes around the floor.

"I'm gonna go look in the back before we leave." You say and look over at him. He was changing from his army green jacket to a black leather one and you tried not checking him out, but you failed.

"Does it look good? It has to by the way you're drooling." He smirks. You scoff and roll your eyes, walking to the back of the store.

You saw a few silencers and quickly put them in your extra duffle you brought in case you two did find something. There was a few other useful things, bullets, extra gloves, binoculars, a brown jacket, and a few other little things. It wasn't much, but it was something.

You had turned and jumped slightly when you saw Hal right in front of you. "Don't do that." You breathe out, trying to clam yourself.

He had backed you up until your back was against the wooden desk that was there. He leaned forward until his lips were right next to your ear and he pressed a soft kiss on your tender skin.

"Do what?"

-

whoa there, Hal. contain thy hormones.

may or may not write this into a smut like none of that was planned but you see, I have a dirty mind. It likes to wonder around, and I occasionally (often) let it.

SO ITS UNANIMOUS. PART THREE SHALL BE SMUT.
