[center][h1]Ethan, Ingrid and Nikki[/h1][/center]

(Collab with [@Wick])

As Ethan laid in bed watching films with Nikki, it didn't really take long for her to fall asleep. After a while he decided to tuck Nikki in and let her get a good nights sleep on her own. He switched the tv off and quietly shut the door not wanting to wake her. Within a few minutes Ethan had gotten into bed with Ingrid who was sleeping and cuddled up to her, kissing her neck, he closed his eyes trying to get a good nights sleep. 

 Ingrid woke up to find Ethan laying partially on top of her. His leg was pinning her to the bed so she couldn't leave without him knowing. As she moved a little his arm reached out and pulled her back. She chuckled at him. She leaned down and whispered into his ear. [color=a2d39c]"Hey handsome I need ta go check on Violet an Nikki unless you want me ta love on ya first."[/color] She said smiling.
 
Ethan playfully kept hold of her pulling her closely. Tiredly groaning he replied with, [color=00a651]"Too tired... Need sleep..."[/color] Ethan started messing around quickly kissing her neck and her cheeks. [color=00a651]"Lets stay here forever. That's the better option."[/color] With an over the top stretch and a massive yawn he carried on talking. [color=00a651]"I command it, you can't leave."[/color] He rolled on top of her and kissed her on the lips, smiling.

Ingrid looked at him and laughed when he protested getting up. When he determined they should stay there forever it made her smile bigger and when she was commanded she grinned and started to argue that he couldn't tell her what to do up until he squished her by rolling on top of her. Her argument turned into laughter and then kissing. She ran her hand through his hair and hugged him to her [color=a2d39c]"I'd love nothin' better than bein' with you forever."[/color] Ingrid stretched out and grabbed his backside and chuckled.

Ethan smiled at her answer as he looked her in the eyes. [color=00a651]"Good, then that's what we'll do."[/color] He started to kiss her abit more passionately. Ethan stopped kissing her for a second, [color=00a651]"So..."[/color] He looked at her with a cheeky grin on his face. [color=00a651]"You mentioined something about a bit of loving."[/color] He lightly bit his bottom lip then took off his top and chucked the covers over them. 

Ingrid's eyes lit up. She was already nude uner the blankets and when he jumped underneath the covers he would quickly find that out. She smiled and pulled him to her whil she undid his pants and started yanking on them. In just a few seconds his pants landed on the ground as Ingrids laughter turned to passion in his arms.

A couple of hours later

Nikki had left the new girl in her room. Nikki was still thinking about the day before and Kyle's infidelity. She got up and decided to look in on Violet. She saw Enzo asleep and holding her hand and she smiled. Nikki took Violet's pulse and her blood pressure. Then she went to change the dressing on the wound. It looked better than she expected. She gave a sigh of relief and a silent thanks. Nikki was finishing up when she saw Matt come out of his room. 

[color=00aeef] "How's our patient doing?" [/color]Nikki laughed a little. [color=00aeef] "She is doing great I think. Blood pressure and pulse are good. She has color in her cheeks and a boyfriend sleeping with his head next to hers. I'd say she is doing well. The wound looks good too. It looks like the infection is little to none."[/color]

[color=a2d39c"That sounds great!" [/color]Ingrid said. Nikki looked up to see her and Ethan coming over.  Matt nodded.[color=00aeef]   "Yes it is" [/color]

[color=00a651]"See, I told you that Matt would heal her."[/color] Ethan told Ingrid with a smile, trying to make her feel a bit better. Ethan knew that she'd felt guilty for what had happened to Vioet, even though it was an accident.[color=00a651] "But I think it's best letting her rest for now, Sasha can keep checking up on her to change her bandages and she's got the new lad looking after her if she needs anything."[/color] Ethan took a minute to think, changing the subject he continued to talk, [color=00a651]"Is there anymore buildings that need clearing or did you get the major ones yesterday?"[/color]

[color=f49ac2] "We only started yesterday there is a lot more yet to do. We need to stock up before winter hits." [/color]Nikki responded.

[color=00a651]"Yeah stocking up sounds like a good idea, I have zero idea how to hunt or how to grow crops."[/color] Ethan replied to Nikki. He started to come up with some ideas. He'd only ever been on one supply run with the group from Dana Point, seeing that people were growing food, they didn't need to go on them, [color=00a651]"I'm guessing there's a supermarket or just a food shop around here. That seems like the best place to start unless you checked there yesterday, I have no clue where everyone checked, I was a little preoccupied."[/color]

Nikki nodded,[color=f49ac2]  "we can take one of the cars and go over to the store and see what is left."[/color] She grabbed the keys to the car with the biggest trunk and she grabbed her coat and sword. She tossed a crowbar to Ingrid. [color=a2d39c] "What weapon do ya want Ethan?"[/color]

Nikki left the room to get the others together while Ethan picked out a weapon.

Ethan walked back to where Nikki was with his hatchet hanging from his waist and a bat in his right hand that was leaning on his shoulder. [color=00a651]"I can drive if you want and I'm good for weapons... I've never really had much practise with a gun so that'd be just a waste of bullets. Besides I've got a pretty good swing."[/color] Ethan laughed as he lightly slapped his bat into the palm of his left hand. [color=00a651]"You sure you want to come?"[/color]

[color=f49ac2] "Of course! You aren't scaring me off that easy. Besides, I could do with some ass kicking. It might be the only thing keeping Kyle alive at the moment."[/color] She tossed him the keys and shoved a piece of stale bread into her mouth. [color=f49ac2] "I swear this baby hates food."[/color]

Ethan shuck his head laughing catching the keys. [color=00a651]"Well let's just hope there's a load of bland food that's not gone off."[/color] Ethan joked to Nikki. He wrapped his left hand around ingrid and kissed her on the cheek. [color=00a651]"Let's get going then."[/color]
