Wow guys I'm so sorry it's taken me awhile to post! Life's been pretty busy, I started up a Dungeons and Dragons group and we played through our first session (I was Dungeon Master. And I am the greatest DM ever.). Not only that, but I'm writing a script for a zombie apocalypse web series! We're starting filming in a couple of weeks. Lol sorry I'm just excited about it all so I thought I'd start by telling ya'll. Anyways, here's the latest instalment of Bunkers and Badasses (With Badasses)! Sorry it isn't so long or lovely, xP My biggest inspiration is playing with my bud, and he's been too busy to play with me lately.

Bunkers and Badasses (With Badasses)
Chapter 4: Leveling Up
~*~

We'd finally earned enough experience points to level up our characters, Tina passing around a ton of books for us to choose new skills for our characters. Zero and I had stopped passing notes to each other, which kind of made things a little bit extremely awkward at the table. Maya, being the first to finish leveling up her character, stood up.

"I'm going to get some snacks with us because I figure that it'll be awhile before the rest of you finish leveling up. What does everyone want?"

"CRUMPETS!" Tina shouted.

"MEAAAAAAAT!" Krieg screaming, waving his fists in the air. Axton smiled over at the siren, telling her that he'd like a beer.

Salvador grinned "I'm fine with anything, Chica!"

Writing a final thing down on my character sheet and trying to make it seem like I wasn't rushing to get out of there, I awkwardly smiled up at Maya "Can I come with? I'm done too."

Maya glanced at the ninja beside me, and I continued to stare at her pleadingly. Finally Maya nodded "Come on then, let's go. I'm guessing you want pizza?"

"Pepperoni." Zero and I said in unison, causing me to stiffen up while the Salvador and Axton laughed about us having identical minds. It seemed like eternity before Maya and I finally left the building, heading towards Moxxi's with money in our hands.

"So, mind telling me why you and Zero all of a sudden-"

"No."

"Oh come on Gaige. We both know Tina's going to notice something's up and try to fix it."

"…"

"You're becoming a lot like him you know." Maya sighed, a smile on her face "You two complement each other very well. You're becoming more and more like each other-"

I pouted "Maya…"

Maya laughed "It's not a bad thing, Gaige. And the two of you like each other a lot so… if you're worried that he's just kidding around, don't worry. The two of you are perfect for each other."

Snorting as we walked into Moxxi's bar, I replied "You have got to be kidding Maya. Me and Zero are just friends. Hi Moxxi!"

"Hey Sweetheart," the beautiful woman told me with a wink "Getting some food for Tina's little game? Hello Maya."

"Hey Moxxi," Maya greeted "Yeah, we are. Can we have some beers and a pepperoni pizza to go?"

"Sure thing Darling," Moxxi said elegantly as she went to work.

As the older woman worked on getting our food prepared, the blue-haired siren next to me continued to chatter.

"You know that a heart emoticon appears on his mask when he's looking at you sometimes, right?"

My eyes widened "Really?" I asked her, a blush forming on my cheeks.

Maya smirked "So are you just going to admit you like him or what?"

Just as I was about to argue, Moxxi walked towards us and handed me our order "Well aren't you a turning the prettiest shade of pink. Tell the boys I say hello."

Mumbling thanks, Maya and I headed back to the City Archives. Tina nearly tackled me to the floor when we returned.

"BESTIE! Everyone finished leveling up their characters AGES ago! WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG SHORTY?!"
