To be blunt, I'm lazy, and pretty much the only reason I'm still motivated to do this is thanks to a CERTAIN someone. And the guilt trip from people actually liking this story and wanting more. So if you want more, be vocal or the guilt trips won't be enough to spur this lazy ass on. But seriously, thanks for reading this wreck of a story (I have noticed I am not being consistent with personalities, maybe locations, and things of the such and I'm sorry about that.) and thank you for reading.

Adam was on his back on the floor, breathing heavily, after cooking a meal that would be considered too much even at an "All you can eat buffet". Kimber and Saeko looked at him a bit worriedly from the dining table. Meanwhile, Lily finished her second plate of dinner and slowly looked at Adam from the corner of her eye. Adam felt it and immediately started to crawl towards the table, while breathing like he had just went for a run around the city, to put more food on her plate.

"A..are you okay?" Kimber asked while looking over the table a little to see him from his spot on the floor. "Fi...Fin..." Adam was wheezing as he pushed the plate to Lily, allowing her to start eating his great cooking again. Kimber winced as Adam proceeded to crawl to the sectional to rest from his own battle.

Adam was asleep almost as soon as he laid down on the couch.

Kimber came into the room a few minutes later, trying to be quiet so as not to startle him. She walked over to the couch and gently sat beside him. After stroking the hair on his head, she had an idea.

It wasn't the best one for the currently situation, but really, when was there a situation where anything was good for anything else during these end days?

So Kimber slowly moved from beside him, to above his head, and gently lifted it up, and resting it in her lap.

She was blushing a little from the audacity of her action, but still was glad she had done it. She proceeded to continue to stroke his head. She looked down onto his sleeping face. Kimber didn't know why she liked him so much, but she still did.

'I mean, all he's done for me is carried me back to his home and take care of me after that branch almost fell onto me-... why did he come flying down from the very same spot the branch fell?'

Kimber had figured it out. Adam was the one who had broke the branch. Sure, it probably wasn't on purpose, but he still did it; and for that, Kimber needed revenge.

She pinched his nostrils shut until he started stirring but released it soon after. She also took small amounts of revenge on him by rustling his hair out of place (this wouldn't do much, as he didn't have a large amount of hair on his head in the first place, and she would probably fix it when she played with it again very soon), tickling his face in random spots, and any other small thing she could think of to annoy him.

Kimber soon stopped pestering him as he slept and sat there with his head in her lap, looking down at his peacefully sleeping face. She pouted with her cheeks puffed full of air and furrowed her brow. 'You're a meanie that kinda got me hurt, but not seriously, and you pay me back by giving me a place to stay and becoming a full time maid for us.'

Slowly dragging her fingers across his cheek, she pondered as to why he was going this far for the 3 girls. Guilt? A sense of justice? Maybe to fulfill some hidden perverted desire of his?

She looked down at Adam and he quietly snorted like a pig in his sleep. Kimber stifled a small laugh at him. She was smiling now; not caring about his reasons, but happy that he was as kind as he was.

Whispering, she said to him: "Thank you~ You weird big brother figure!"

It was later in the night and Adam had gotten up to check on the "Crops" and water them a little. They were sprouting nicely for the time they had been planted.

Since he had finished watering the crops, Adam went ahead and enjoyed the view from the roof, as he had done before, when he was alone.

The city was still the same; dark, burning in some places, mostly abandoned, with the occasional human (or not so human) scream.

Same old, same old.

Adam had done enough today, and he was still tired, so he took one last gaze along the dead city. He then returned to the warm environment the four of them were creating together.
