DISCLAIMER: I don't own any of them. Not Columbus, Tallahassee, Wichita, or Little Rock. I wish I did. Oh God do I wish I did... But, here's the story anyways. :D

He never could tolerate the cold well. He always had some sort of jacket nearby just for that reason. All it took was a cool breeze and he'd have pneumonia.

Columbus wrapped himself tighter in his hoodie. He shouldn't be outside, seeing as how the temperature was struggling to stay above forty degrees. The truth was that it was too cold outside, but that was better than how stifling it seemed in the house they'd broken into. He'd had an argument with Wichita again. She'd called him a mistake. Told him that she'd slept with Venice, one of the survivors they'd stumbled across in their aimless trip across the country. She then accused him of being gay anyway. So he'd left.

He heard footsteps behind him and sighed. It was probably Little Rock trying to make him feel better or apologizing for not telling him the truth about Venice. Something heavy and warm dropped on to his shoulders and he recognized the black leather jacket. Tallahassee stood next to him in a black t-shirt and jeans, hands in his pockets.

"You're gonna get cold." Columbus mumbled.

"You're the one that gets sick every time we turn around. You probably shouldn't be out here anyway." Tallahassee pointed out.

"You heard what she said. How am I supposed to take that? I'm one of the last guys on Earth and she's still not interested."

Tallahassee threw an arm around Columbus's shoulders and sighed, "Some women ain't ever happy."

"Especially when I'm in the equation."

"That's just self-depreciating."

"And true." Columbus muttered. He slid his arms through the sleeves of Tallahassee's jacket and zipped it closed. It was warm and smelled faintly of whatever sort of cologne Tallahassee had used back when stuff like that mattered. The wind kicked up and he shivered despite the extra layer of clothing. Tallahassee pulled him closer and Columbus didn't mind as much as he might've thought.

"Truth be told, there was always something about Wichita that I didn't quite like." Tallahassee murmured.

"Really?" Columbus looked up at him.

"Any girl that would play a cute kid like you? Gotta be something wrong with her."

Columbus blushed at the "cute" comment, but didn't say anything. At least Tallahassee wasn't threatening to hit him...

"Come on, spit-fuck. We should get you inside before you get a cold." Tallahassee turned to leave.

"Why do you call me that?" Columbus asked.

"Kid, that's as close to a term of endearment as I come. Take it or leave it." Tallahassee smiled.

"Why only me?"

Florida rolled his eyes and asked when they started playing "20 Questions".

"I want to know." Columbus said stubbornly.

The older man approached him slowly. Columbus was beginning to regret his decision. He took a step back and found himself cornered with Tallahassee in front of him and a burnt out RV shell behind him. Tallahassee put one hand on either side of Columbus and leaned close.

"I-I'm sorry I didn't..." Columbus froze. Was... Was Tallahassee kissing him? It was different from kissing Wichita. He didn't have to worry about being laughed at for taking a clumsy lead. Tallahassee seemed to be doing all the thinking for him. He felt a hand wrap around the back of his neck, fingers tangle in. his hair, and tilt his face upwards and he pressed closer to Florida, clinging desperately to his shirt. The wind blew harder and colder than before. Despite the heat between himself and the self-proclaimed "One Man Zombie Hunting Army" and the two jackets, Columbus shuddered, something Tallahassee didn't miss.

"Now we're really going to get you inside."

"Let's not." Columbus murmured, eyeing Tallahassee's lips.

"I never said we had to stop once we got inside. But it's a hell of a lot warmer. And what better way to fuck with Wichita?" Tallahassee winked. Columbus grinned and allowed himself to be pulled to the house.

A/N: So, just a little side note, I will be adding more one-shots and drabbles to this. No idea how many, but we'll see where it goes. :D
