Chapter 4-First Love?,

Village Farm,5:00 p.m

It has been a month since the X-Virus have attacked the people in Heron Village and also a worst state in Metropolitan City. Thus, the virus infected them turning into awful and ugly zombies. The government have employed all of the country's assets to comprehend the creatures from kept controlling the area. One of the main asset was the service from I.S.F Department Force that had been assigned to overcome them but unfortunately, it was a dead-end for the forces.

The high chancellor of I.S.F, Teresa had only a idea as for the last chance and last hope to stop the worst catastrophic in history. Finally, she assigned the high commander of I.S.F Elite Squad, Thomas Edison to investigate the main source of the virus that seemed been reported from the Heron Village, a rural yet far away village.

As Thomas was still in a progress investigating the village area, he had been assaulted by a group of villagers that seemed also have been turned into zombies because of the X-Virus. He had a hard time where he was standing between 'life and death' where his gun was running out of bullets. He was a few inches from being stabbed with an axe by a zombie that snarled him from behind.

Fortunately, a blonde male teenager saved him by shooting that zombie with his shotgun. He was Newton Isaac where he worked as a hunter. He and Thomas were collaborating together overcoming the assault around them. Suddenly, a bell rang that caused the zombies stopped from attacking them. They finally walked away from the area and leaving to somewhere. Since from that time, Thomas and Newt were agreed to work together and they continued with the journey to investigate the Virus.

"Thomas, you're not afraid that you're doing alone?"Asked Newt curiously, realising that Thomas was only alone in the investigation.

Thomas shook his head, grinning proudly as he answered, "Nope, I'm brave enough to investigate alone. I'm the High Commander of Elite Squad,remember?"

Newt giggled happily, looking happy when he with Thomas. He said, "Of course!You're absoobloodylootely cool. Being in the elite squad with an astonishing bravery and intelligent mind."

"But you're also happy being a hunter right?"

Newt nodded, "That is absolutely correct. Being a hunter is always my bloody life job. I can be a good hunter and look for a profit from that job."

Thomas also felt very happy when he being with him. He felt something that caused him in the state of ease and calm. To his honest, although he just met him for the first time, he really wanted to get closer to him. He really wanted to be always at his side.

...

A few minutes later, they both have reached the village farm. The first impression when they entered the area, the place was very creepy, foggy and dreadful. It was a 'dead' place, lonely, quiet and scary. They could only heard the sound of creepy breeze around the farm.

"Honestly, Newt..I feel not good here.." He shivered in afraid. He folded his arms and rubbed his shoulders.

Newt agreed with him, "I'm very afraid enough to be in such a bloody creepy place like this."

But Thomas had to complete the mission. So, he decided to keep moving, "Let's move on.."

Newt nodded and they started walking together slowly. They were also observing and watching the area as the precaution in case if there were any threats upcoming. But they have limited sight because of the foggy surrounding that could make them can't see the surrounding very clearly.

"Being a hunter, I never had experience such an afraid feeling before..."Newt expressed his thought to Thomas.

Thomas replied, "Worst that I have been experienced was when I'm with my team, confronting the cruelest gang in Nightlight District. They wanted to take over the district and claimed for independence."

"Well, at least you have that experience. Compared to me, nothing..." Newt smiled, he felt jealous a bit with the commander.

Thomas laughed cheerfully as he calmed his partner, "Aww, don't be like that, Newt... It is just a small mission and this would be my biggest challenge mission throughout my carrier. You know, being a hunter also was my ambition when I was a kid. Because the hunter was brave and excellent in shooting, just like you."

For the first time in Newt's life, he was blushing lightly when a sudden blush formed on his cheeks. He felt very happy with the compliment from him as he was getting more proud to be a hunter. He felt that his words was a deepest encouragement that he wanted to remember it forever.

"T-Thank you, Thomas..."Newt thanked him shyly.

Thomas replied, "My pleasure, comrade!"

Suddenly, the moment being interrupted by another threats. The zombies were appearing from inside the barn, rest house and underwater on the small lake. Thomas and Newt quickly ready with their weapons and they started targeting them.

"I wish I never found this village again if the people become like this.."Newt murmured.

Thomas asked, "Feeling regret?"

Newt smiled as he turned at him, "You should know my face expression. Bloody shuck!"

The zombies started getting closer to both of them. Then, they began shooting the zombies each by person. They shot them with so much forces that many zombies were dead and fell down.

They knew that for their upcoming journeys, there would be a same threat again as they had now. So, they have to make sure that all of their equipment was enough.

After the zombies in the area have been neutralised, both of them were decided to take a long rest since the sun was about to set and the night will appeared soon.

"I think it's time for us to have a rest for a while. We will continue the journey in the early morning tomorrow."Said Thomas as he put his gun back inside his gun pocket.

Newt agreed, "I agree with you, Thomas. Moreover, I had been went out for hunting for almost a day but unfortunately, I didn't get anything..."

Thomas grinned. They just packed off their equipment and they continued walking for a few hundred metres until they finally found a small cottage yet a beautiful cottage. They thought that cottage could be a temporary shelter for replenishing their energy at least until early morning tomorrow.

Once they got inside the cottage, they found that there were nobody inside. It was all empty like the owner of the cottage have left the place for long time. But, despite of the emptiness, it gave them at least some advantages where they could use the whole furniture for cooking, resting, bathing, and finding peace.

"We can get hold here until tomorrow..."Newt said.

Thomas nodded, "Yup!You're right!"

...

When the night has appeared, they used the time to replenish the energy as they made some upgrade on their weapons. While waiting for the light dinner to be ready, they took turn to get cleaning on themselves from any dirty. After that, Newt wore his usual clothes back and walked to the kitchen to finalise the cooking. While Thomas was doing a little research about the virus and the background of the village as he made some arrangement on his gun.

Newt came to the bedroom and said, "Thomas, dinner is ready.."

Thomas looked at him. He smiled happily as he replied, "W-Wow...you can cook?"

Newt blushed a bit but he just got himself under control, "Just a light meal. Bloody hell, I should become a mum then?"

Thomas laughed uncontrollably until a tear fell down from his eyes. He wiped his eyes as he said cheerfully, "I'm apologise, Newt. Y-Yeah!I'm coming now.."

Newt also had a small laugh because of his own joke. But at the same time, he thought, "Me become a mum? Oh, what the hell that I'm babbling about? It's just a metaphorical theory that can kill me."

Both of them were enjoying the with the meals that have been prepared. It just took a short time where they returned back into the bedroom for resting moment.

"Where do you want to sleep, Thomas?It's okay if you want to sleep on the bed. I'm just take on the floor since inside the cupboard there is a Toto." Asked Newt.

Thomas was disagreed when he wanted to sleep on the floor. He objected, "No!I don't want you to sleep on the floor. It's not fair! You can sleep on the bed beside me. It's big enough for both of us."

Newt blushed again and this time, he turned away, pretending to look elsewhere. Actually, he wanted to hide his blush that seemed can be seen by him. When he has calmed, he looked back at the commander and he said,

"B-Beside you?A-Are you sure?"

Thomas laughed, "What? You think I will doing something inappropriate to you?Newt, honestly from me...you're really cute and smarty-handsome but I won't do anything to you..."

Newt blushed again. His blush got redder and darker than the first blush that he had just now. He never thought about himself throughout his life and it was the first time he was being admired and praised by a person. He looked down for a while, feeling shy with his partner.

Then, he answered shyly, "O-Okay, then...I-I will sleep beside you."

He walked slowly to the right side of the bed. He took off his shoes and began climbing on the bed. Thomas giggled at his shy acts, thinking that he never being with another male in his life.

"Good night, Thomas..."He laid down on the bed and he straight away greeted him.

"E-Eh?We haven't talk about anything yet..."Thomas giggled again.

"We have to continue tomorrow morning. Better if we rest from now."

Thomas knew that Newt was very shy of all sudden. But it doesn't matter for him because maybe, it was his first time being alone with a same gender. Perhaps, he also was feeling a bit uncomfortable and insecured. He just smiled and a few minutes later, he laid down his head on the pillow and turned off the light.

Before he went off to sleep, he stole a glance at Newt for a while. It seemed he had already sleeping.

He said slowly and softly, "Newt, what I said just now...I really meant it. I'm really impressed with you, your outstanding ability and your credibility as a hunter. You're the best hunter that I've never seen before. Instead of your expertise, you're also really cute. You're...the first person..that I began to..fall in love with.." He smiled a bit, staring at his face for the last time. At his thought, he really wanted to kiss his forehead. But he just had to forget his wish because it could never happen. He adjusted himself and finally, he drifted himself into a deep slumber.

But actually, Newt wasn't really sleeping. For the real truth, he was a late sleeper and he was pretending to sleep early. He opened his eyes, as he was really shocked with Thomas's confession just now.

"You really...mean it?"He said inside his heart.
