Code Zulu Alpha: Nerd in the Apocalypse!

417 Real Reward - Did you guys see something?(Chapter preview)

I woke up in the early morning being embraced by Kaley and Tatiana. I could see their sleeping faces and I got to thinking about what Tatiana said last night.

"A reward, huh? She did win the matches… hmm..." I closed my eyes to think of something nice I could give her.

I noticed that our blanket was getting loose on Tatiana's shoulders so I gently pulled it back so she wouldn't get cold. However, she suddenly turned around and almost stole away the blanket we three were sharing. Kaley was now the one grasping for it but I gently pushed her when I removed myself from them so she could get closer to Tatiana's side so I could tuck her in.

In the process of lifting the blanket, I caught a glimpse of Tatiana's ink which we talked about when she just arrived here. She had two where the first one was a rose with a dagger on the back and the other was a skull baring its fangs. It was crudely done and it must've hurt because it was done to her when she was still in her teens.

"Hmm..." I then had an idea and I turned the lights on at my working table.

I simply grabbed a paper and a pencil then I started sketching.

I tried to take from her past ink and combine it with an Ancient Slavic Warrior tattoo. It resembled tribal tattoo designs and I started with a rose in full bloom, looking at it from above. It started with thin and wavy lines slowly transitioning to much thicker and straighter lines to make a circular-jagged border from it.

The next thing on the list was instead of a dagger on the back, I used the hilt of her sword I gave her but I added more details on it including the tip of the blade emerging from the other side. What followed was a tribal pattern that embraces the rose but stops near the hilt of the sword making it look like the omega symbol upside-down. The design was like interwoven nordic lines but one line was wrapped by vines with thorns and at the end of the lines near the hilt were Slavic heads of a wolf looking in opposite directions. I made sure everything was symmetrical and I added some shading and depth on some parts so that the other objects would pop out more than the others.

I think I did a pretty good job but I also prepared extended mags for her FN Five-Seven so it could hold 30 rounds, a bottle of expensive Vodka, and a few coupons that could allow her to order me to cook anything she wanted to just for insurance.

"I think this is… okay? Do I need to add a pair of Adibas?" I thought to myself, half-sure.

However, to clear things up, I wrote a note to apologize for choking her out two times, knocking her out and making her forget it happened in the first place. I was about to head back to bed because I still have more than an hour to sleep but when I turned around, Tatiana was behind me wearing a complex expression.

Tatiana looked at the things I've prepared for her and then her eyes went back to me. She wasn't speaking a word but she picked up the design I sketched for her.

"Is this… for me?"

"Y-Yeah… I thought about what you said last night so..."

"..."

"I don't want to talk about shit about the person who tattooed you because she might stab me if we ever meet in prison but I figured it needed a little… touch-up..."

"..."

"Is it bad? It's bad, right? Sorry, I just made that in a few minutes. I'll think of a better one or perhaps I'll get Daisy to-" then she cut me off.

"No, it's… very… very beautiful... it really is. Sorry, I just don't know what to say..." Tatiana looked down on the floor for a moment before she looked back at me.

"This is not the Tatiana I know..." I thought to myself because I was confused as fuck.

"Oh, you like it then… g-great! I also prepared a few backups just in case you didn't like it but good thing you did. There's a note there but- nevermind… sorry I choked you out twice yesterday… I was really sleepy and I shouldn't have done that when I promised you a reward of some sort."

"..."

"Okay… ummm… I'm gonna sleep for a few again so… see you in the morning?"

"Okay..."

"I'll leave you there for now… okay?"

"Okay..."

"..."

"..."

"Okay… I'm sleeping now..."

"Okay..."

Tatiana was just staring at the things I prepared for her as I slowly inched to the bed, watching what she would do next. My eyes just eventually dropped and the last thing I remembered was that she was still in front of the table while a small lamp was lit beside her.

Well, I didn't have to find her when I woke up.

Tatiana was back on the bed with us, sleeping soundly while her arms were wrapped around me. I then felt a kiss on my cheek and I discovered that Kaley woke up as well. I returned her kiss with my own before we shook Tatiana's shoulder to wake her up.

"Hmm? What?" Tatiana was still groggy.

"It's morning now! Wake up!" Kaley chuckled.

"Oh… morning… Kaley… go first… I'll clean him up after you're done..." Tatiana said, eyes still half-closed.

"..." Kaley and I facepalmed.

"What? You two fuck in the morning, correct? Oh- do you want me to go first? Can I just open my legs? I'm still sleepy- Ow... Is that Kaley? I think it's Kaley… It hurts..."

"Tatiana! We still have a lot to do today! Wake up!"

"I'll wake up after I cum..."

"ARGH~ TATIANA!!!"

"And this is the Tatiana I know..." I laughed inwardly.

Kaley eventually made Tatiana wake up when she lifted her straight into the shower. Kaley saw the sketch that I made for Tatiana and she was smiling brightly, telling me to make one for her as well.

"You're trying to steal Tatiana away from my harem, eh?" Kaley joked.

"What? Away from you? Impossible." I went with her joke.

Tatiana was just smiling though Kaley caught a glimpse of her staring at me.

"Ooh~ Did it work somehow? Hmm?" Kaley was grinning from ear to ear.

"Hmph! Almost, it almost did. Well, I fingered myself while the two of you are sleeping so I figured I was just horny after I came. Two days without cumming takes a toll on you, I tell you." Tatiana chuckled to get a reaction from Kaley.

"What?! You did?! You should've woken us up atleast! Well, you still have your extra time with him so that's that. You could have it with me or both of us if you wanted to as well. Anyway, are you gonna have that design tattooed on you? It looks really cool! It would look good on you!" Kaley said without a hint of jealousy.

"I think I'll have my old ones covered..." Tatiana was surprised at Kaley's response.

"Really? If you will cover your old ones, let's try and work with colors as well. I'm thinking yellow and red or with something like black and blue..." I suggested.

We talked for a while before we finished our shower.

Rin and Cynthia woke up late and the bags on their eyes suggested they were up late and studying. Their hairs were frazzled and all over the place but Cynthia remembered that she would come with us so she immediately pulled Rin inside the shower.

It took a while to get everything ready before we once again headed for the City of Malabon.

Lawrence was just waiting by the outpost and we picked him up and drove the rest of the way. As a little precaution, Tatiana's Humvee was at the front while the rest of the vehicles were following behind. Aside from that, instead of directly driving to the love hotel or the City Hall of Malabon, we drove around it to have two of the four other teams we brought to watch over the bridges were the human threat from the City of Navotas could come from.

It was still inside the territory of the City of Malabon but it would be better to receive an early warning instead of receiving them while we were taking care of a lot of the dead. They parked in an inconspicuous position and we started to drive towards the love hotel in the distance first.

The vehicle we prepared was still in the same spot but I already saw a glint of a scope a few meters before we arrived. I already radioed in and Max mentioned that they took turns watching everything outside. Marvin and the rest of the soldiers started teasing them but their expressions were different. A few of us noticed that and the jolly atmosphere slowly changed.

"Did you guys see something?" I asked with a serious look.
