Finn groaned in a loud exaggerated tone, slamming her head into the steering wheel in front of her.
"What're you doing?"
Xzavier asked, a chuckled at the end of his question. Finn looked up to him from the open car door of the blue Honda. They'd been walking for hours hot wiring every car they passed too see if it'd crank up. Sure, Mable and Ollie got to decide the more the merrier but her and Xzavier were the ones stuck with the work.
"It's not working."
She lazily slumped back against the driver's seat.
"Surprising."
Xzavier's voice was tinged with sarcasm. She groaned again, louder this time.
"Would you shut up. You're going to attract something."
Finn got out the car, slamming the door behind herself in frustration before running a hand through her short hair.
"We've been looking for a car that'll crank up for so long I think my body's going into starvation mode."
Xzavier rolled his eyes.
"You're body is not going into starvation mode, we left like two hours ago."
"Yeah and in those two hours we've walked a million miles, killed like 50 walkers, and hot wired every car in America. I need a break."
Xzavier scoffed at Finn's professional complaining, crossing his arms as he gave his best friend an annoyed stare.
"Literally none of that is true. In the last two hours we've seen like 20 walkers, of which we only killed 12. We've tried hot wiring 6 cars and you got a second degree sunburn on your nose."
Finn quickly ducked down next to the Honda, looking at how bright red her nose and forehead had gotten in the car's rear view mirror.
"Yep."
She stood up straight.
"I'm taking a break. Fuck those guys."
She looked around at the choice of houses before picking the closest one and speed walking towards it. Xzavier sighed.
"Finn, we should really keep looking for a working vehicle."
"Chill out, we have all day."
She didn't even turn around to speak, keeping her pace steady. She wasn't wrong. They left early in the morning, maybe an hour before the sun came up and now they were stuck outside until the screechers left the building that night. Hopefully they'd be driving back. Xzavier quickly started after her,
"Finn, wait. You need to check for walkers-"
"I know, I know. You act like this is the first time I've done this."
She rolled her brown eyes as she stopped next to the door. Xzavier stopped on the other side.
"I always have to act like it's the first time with you. I never know what crazy shit you'll pull."
Finn chuckled under her breath.
"You know me so well, someone might think you have a crush on me."
Xzavier glared at her and the brunette made a kissy face. He pushes his glasses farther up on his nose as he rolled his eyes before cocking his gun and opening the door. He quickly lifted his weapon to aim, walking down a short hallway that ended in a staircase and a doorway.
"I'll take down stairs, you take upstairs."
Finn nodded before silently starting up the steep stairs. Xzavier moved into the living room, checking in every closet and under each table and then the bathroom. A loud clatter from the kitchen caused him to jump. He stepped towards the kitchen entrance slowly, tightening his grip on his gun. A bang, like something fell from the counter, rang through the house and Xzavier quickly moved against the wall so whatever was there couldn't see him. His heart was racing and his hands sweaty despite the hardened expression on his face. He was about to turn the corner and look when Finn, out of no where, jumped on him.
"All the rooms are clear and there's a huge-"
Xzavier quickly pushed Finn into the wall, shielding her from the doorway as he covered her loud mouth with a hand.
He said nothing, only gesturing to the kitchen with a tilt of his head.
Finn didn't follow his gesture and instead wiggles her eyebrows with a suggestive gaze. Xzavier's face contorted in confusion before Finn's tongue licked the palm of his hand.
"Gross!"
Xzavier pulled away, wiping his hand on his pants in disgust while Finn laughed. Another loud bang in the kitchen alerted both of them and they quickly readied their weapons and turned the corner. A rat scurried across the kitchen floor and into a whole next to the door. Four pans sat upside down on the floor.
"Rats."
"There's a huge sex swing upstairs."
"A what?"
Xzavier was completely taken back by what Finn had just told him.
"I know!"
She laughed,
"Its amazing, you've got to see it. Come on."
Finn grabbed Xzavier's hand, their fingers intertwining, and led him up the stairs to a room on the left. She stopped at the open door, the giant master bedroom filled with nothing but a sex swing, a bed, and a collection of dildos in the corner.
"Oh my god, this isn't happening."
"That's what I said!"
