"Hm. This'd be really awkward if I gave a shit about your feelings." Nick stared Ellis straight in the face, using his best poker face to not show he was lying.

Ellis had decided that a zombie apocalypse was the best time to declare he liked Nick and had kissed him. Nick -- although his did enjoy the kiss -- had pulled away, holding Ellis at arms length. Thus their current situation.

"'Scuse me?" Ellis asked, eyes widening. He had never encountered anyone so blatantly rude, and it took him by surprise.

"You heard me…." Nick said, letting go of Ellis and making to walk away. But Ellis was a trooper, grabbing onto Nick's arm and spinning him around, mad now.

"No. You don' talk to people like that, Nick. Even if you think yer better an' stuff 'cos you got yer swanky lookin' suit for 300 bucks and cause you came from the city." Ellis said, glaring at Nick. He stared at the conman for a few seconds before smacking the med kit Nick was holding to the ground and stomping away.

Nick looked down at the med kit, and then at Ellis' retreating back, then back to the med kit and before he could help it, he was smiling evilly. Now that Ellis had been feisty, Nick decided he wanted to play a little game, after all, what else was there to do in a zombie apocalypse for fun?

The next day, Nick made sure to tease Ellis as much as possible, being abnormally nice to him and brushing against him every once in awhile. He even refrained from smacking him in the face with Gnome Chompski when he just wouldn't shut up.

Ellis kept shooting him strange glances, trying to figure out what was going on. The thought even crossed Nicks mind once that Ellis looked damn cute when he was confused before the conman smacked himself repeatedly with the goddamn gnome.

"Hey, Ellis. You know that shit I said earlier? I was only joking…" Nick said into the hick's ear, making Ellis jump about a foot. Rochelle and Coach looked over and Ellis glared at Nick.

"Go 'way." He muttered, obviously still mad about Nick's reaction. Nick just chuckled, knowing that after two weeks of his game, both had had enough of the teasing. Nick killed a zombie running towards Ellis, giving the brunette a smirk.

"Comeon, Ellis … You know that you still like me." Nick crooned, not even realizing that this wasn't a game anymore because somewhere in their current hell, Nick had decided that he really liked Ellis too.
