*** Jeonghan is on the floor when he finds him, fletching an arrow with unwarranted viciousness. The feathers are uneven. His hands keep slipping on the wood, blood still in his hands, the sleeves of his jacket soaked. Seungcheol is worried he’s gonna get himself splinters but if he says anything about it Jeonghan will just blow up. “Are you gonna say sorry.”
Seungcheol takes that as permission to approach. “No,” he says. “His name is Chan by the way.”
Jeonghan whacks him with an arrow, then throws it and punches him on the shoulder. All these scavenger hunts are building his strength. Seungcheol feels a little proud.
“I don’t care what his name is,” Jeonghan says darkly. “You don’t have to save everyone!”
That’s their problem, Seungcheol thinks. Jeonghan cares about everyone so much it hurts him the most when something unfortunate happens. When they lost Jihoon, Jeonghan was inconsolable. Seungcheol didn't leave their camp for weeks to take care of him.
It's not that Seungcheol grieves less. He just prefers caring about what's in front of him, and what they can look forward to. He kinda has to.
He clears the arrows in Jeonghan's lap and puts his arm around his shoulders. Jeonghan leans on him automatically and it makes Seungcheol smile despite everything.
"What's the point of surviving all this, if not to have more people around?" If they ignore the undead just outside their fences, it's almost nice. Seokmin is trying to start a vegetable garden and he's close to brainwashing Seungkwan to help him. Mingyu got it into his head to start decorating their "houses" and no one has the heart to remind him they need to be ready to leave whenever. They think he's trying to impress Sooyoung but she's already busy running their watchtower schedule with Minghao even though she just arrived a week ago.
He wipes Jeonghan's hands with a clean-ish shirt from his backpack. He had trembled so bad earlier trying to staunch the blood from Seungcheol's shoulder, muttering "You're okay," over and over. He's not sure if Jeonghan was saying it to him or to himself, but what's important is they got back home in one piece, and they got Chan out of his overrun apartment complex. Chan looks like a good kid.
"There's no point surviving this without you," Jeonghan says, voice small. He grips Seungcheol's wrist.
[FILL] halcyon days
