Code Zulu Alpha: Nerd in the Apocalypse!

I easily loaded all of the magazines but at the same time I finished, my door just opened and Kaley came with a face towel draped on her shoulders. She looked a bit exhausted from what Tatiana put them through but she instantly gave me a smile when we locked eyes.

Kaley jauntily approached me, "Hey! Sorry, I took too long! I'm so~ sweaty from--"

I smiled before I cut her off, "Nah, you're just right on time. Check it out!"

"Is that the-- Wow~! Can I?"

"Sure. For as long as you want."

Kaley wanted to get her hands on the Reaper so bad but she grabbed the towel from her shoulders first and wiped herself all over. Furthermore, when she noticed that her top was just too wet, she took them off and she was left only wearing her sports bra and the rest of her outfit.

She started wiping her sweat again while I was looking at her with an amused expression.

I finally waved her off, "Kaley! It's just sweat! And you don't even smell bad!"

"S-Shut up! Can't you see it's new! D-Doofus..." Kaley glared at me while pouting, leaving some air on one side of her cheeks.

"Just lift it up!"

"Hngh~ I don't want to dirty--"

Cynthia just knocked a few times from behind our door, "Kaley? Are you coming? Rin's already in the shower! Oh! Hi~! Wanna join us? Tatiana's just wrapping her arm and she'll be there too?"

I just let out a smile before I shook my head slightly, "I would love that but~ you know, I already gone earlier."

"Oh… Okay! Kaley already said she wanted you for herself later so I thought--"

Kaley suddenly rushed for the door, "Cynthia! Stop blabbering about--"

'Ah...'

"But you said--"

"It doesn't matter what I said! Just-- Just go on ahead! I'll just grab a towel!" Kaley exclaimed before pushing Cynthia away and then looking at me embarrassedly.

I instantly joked, "You know I'm tired, right?"

Kaley rolled her eyes, "Tired my ass! Oh-- Right! I'll just take a closer look later! I'm really sorry and sweaty so-- Bye! I'll make it up to you later! It's a surprise! Don't fall asleep!"

"Sure..."

Kaley hurriedly pulled out a towel from our cabinet before she ran outside and closed the door. With that said, I was pretty excited about the 'surprise' she was talking about. I kinda knew what we'd end up doing but even if we almost always do it every single night, we'd always look forward to it like it's the first time since forever.

I just turned off the lights and went under our covers.

Time continued to pass and it seemed like Kaley was taking her sweet time. I swore I could've finished an episode or two of my favorite shows and Kaley still wasn't coming through the door. With that said, being in comfortables clothes, feeling the cold breeze, and laying on the bed with the lights off started to make me drowsy.

I lost control of my body and I suddenly fell asleep.

Time passed for an unknown number of minutes or hours and I just suddenly woke up feeling like I just dozed off for a few seconds. I looked to my side and noticed that Kaley wasn't next to me but something really~ interesting was happening from under our covers.

'Wait a sec… Am I being-- Fuck...'

I noticed everything too late and I just let out a sharp exhale when something warm just coiled around 'me'. At the same time, I felt soft lips right at the base for one moment but it would slide to the tip, and back to the base once more. The same motion was being performed over and over and I couldn't help but lift the covers.

Once I saw the figure, I was 100% sure that it was who I thought it was but I was stunned when she made eye contact.

'Aoi...'

She just glanced at me momentarily but I started cumming right then and there. My body just trembled all over but the person below me didn't stop what she was doing. She kept going on and on while swallowing everything I let out, licking off what she missed when I suddenly exploded.

After that, she licked her lips before letting out a cheeky smile, "I told you to not fall asleep! Surprise~!"

"K-Kaley?! I thought you were--"

Kaley's smile grew even wider, "You thought I was Aoi, didn't you? Hmph! I just wore these contacts and you couldn't tell us apart! My nipples aren't even inverted but they're you know… puffy and hard--"

I immediately turned her over and I went on top of her. However, I was wearing a solemn expression with a look of concern.

"Kaley… You know I love you, right?"

Kaley looked confused as she stared at me, "Wait… W-What's wrong? Didn't you like--"

I sighed, "I... sure, but-- You don't have to-- Ow! Kaley?! What was that?! I was just about to tell you that--"

Kaley shook her head before she let out a smile, "About to tell me what? I don't have to dress up-- Well, wearing contacts isn't exactly dressing up but… I really got jealous from the way you talked about her earlier and it really seemed like you miss her so… I just thought I'd see your reaction when-- I guess we already knew, huh?"

I stammered, "I-I-I… I d-don't know what t-to say right now… My… I can't even think straight--"

After what Kaley just said, my mind just became in shambles and I lost my mood. I didn't know what to feel after what we just did and exchanged right after, I just got off her and laid on my back. I was staring right at the ceiling and I wasn't speaking a word.

Kaley got surprised at what I just did and she sat upright, facing me, "Hey… Hey! It's just-- I'm sorry… I went too far… I didn't think it through and I just dressed up looking like someone you wanted to see right now… I'm… I'm gonna go sleep in the vacant room if--"

"No… wait. Stay. I'm sorry… I… I think I overreact--"

Kaley suddenly went on top of me and her eyes were watery, "N-No! You didn't overreact! It's perfectly justified, okay? Please, j-just be mad at me. What I did is really in bad taste... I just treated your relationship with Aoi as a joke and I'm still making it about me… I… I thought I could handle it but… but..."

Tears slowly fell on her cheeks before she wrapped her arms around me.

As soon as that happened, I got angry at myself because I made her cry once more. I swore I wouldn't let that happen again but I just did it once more by talking too highly about someone I used to see who wasn't even here. However, the whole situation was just too complicated to be put into words, and even if both sides or only one side was at fault, we shouldn't make that the thing that would keep us apart.

I held her tight as I said softly, "Hey… you didn't do anything wrong, okay? To be fair, even if you did, I fucked up too."

"..."

"I just had a hard time processing everything that happened. I wasn't even mad that you dressed up like her..."

"Lies..."

"Did I really?"

"..."

"I didn't, right? But~ I'm mad about two things… maybe three..."

"..."

"First, I'm mad because all this time, you still don't see yourself as I see you. Sure, sometimes you'd dress up as a few fantasy characters I'm very fond of but you don't have to dress up like Aoi for me to like you, okay?"

"Still..."

"Fine, it really was in bad taste but the thoughts in my head, while it was happening, weren't that great either… That was the second thing I'm mad for… If I didn't stop myself, I would be fucking you while thinking of her… There's a difference because I'd still think of you while you're in a costume but this is… really different… Add to that I just woke up and I wasn't sure what was actually happening..."

"Do… Do you still have feelings for her? If by some chance-- No… What would you do if they get here? Or if we get over there?"

"I'm with you, remember?"

"Hngh… That's not what I'm saying… I'm saying--"

"Do you really want me to be honest?"

"..."

"Kaley..."

"Y-Yes..."

"I do. I'll always have feelings for her… It's just that..."

"Just what?"

"I was saving it for your birthday..."

"W-Wait… You're s-saving what?"

"It's done."

"What's done? That Reaper? I--"

"You idiot, I wasn't even done writing what I wanted to say when I wanted to do it. Get off of me for a bit, I'll take it out..."

"W-Wait... What are you--"

Kaley's face was a mess when I sat her by the edge of the bed, and she looked so lost when I took out a small box from one of my safes. With that said, once realization struck, Kaley just started crying even more when I knelt in front of her, opening that small box with the finished ring inside.

It was made with the diamond I made last time placed on a platinum band with intricate carvings.

I let out a smile before tears started coming out of me as well, "Kaley… u-umm... insert super moving and tear-jerking speech right here… Ow! Stop! If you waited a while, it would've been perfect! You just had to make me pull this out! Do you know how many times I sneaked away to make this?! I'm running an OP community here, geez!"

Kaley was crying and laughing at the same time, "You doof… You're so stupid, you doofus! Just say something made up or whatever!"

I wiped the tears off her face, "Okay, okay. Oh! How about this? Kaley, I could promise to hold you and cherish you. I could promise to be in sickness and in health. I could say til death do us-- Ow! What gives?!"

"That's from Grey's Anatomy!"

"But you love that show!"

"Hngh~! I really do but-- Just think of something else!"

"We're taking too long! Let's keep to the best part. Kaley, will you m--"

I didn't even manage to finish popping the question when she went down on the same level as me and hugged me tight. Both of us were crying-laughing nonstop and we felt like idiots. Couples fight but it's stupid to continue fighting when everything was laid on the table, no matter how complicated everything was.

If you wanted it to work, you make it work.

Once I slipped the ring on her finger, it was a perfect fit and Kaley never looked so happy.

We started kissing each other but I'm sure as hell we wouldn't end it with that.
