Okay! Now, I wrote this one because I have a story for you! You know... besides the one below. heh...
First, a question! Has anyone ever been asked out during the movie at a theater?
Because this gal has. Just the other day, actually.
I've seen a few movies this past week, starting first with WWZ then MU today and this weekend DM2. Now, (slight spoilers for WW2, but not really anything that wasn't in the commercials) as the zombies were climbing over each other to get over the wall in Jerusalem (and I'm thinking how adorable Segen is even with one hand), the boy next to me leant over and asked in a whisper, "What's your name?" Now, me, being the ultimately shy girl that I am, instantly turned bright red. I replied, like you should, and we shook hands. He made a few more comments about the movie to me and my dad on the opposite side of me. Then, in the scene reminiscent of Snakes on a Plane, he whisper-asked, "Do you have a boyfriend?" My heart racing, face burning, and palms sweating (partly due to adrenaline from watching people eat each other), I shook my head, too flustered to speak. The boy asked a few more questions and ultimately I turned him down, though I felt very terrible.
So... has anyone else been asked out during the throes of the zombie apocalypse?
I don't own Hetalia.
Alfred motioned for them to move quickly, but then he immediately held up his hand, stop!
They all heard a clicking noise, teeth chattering together. Matthew could also hear his heart pounding in his ears and he was terrified the Zeke could hear it as well. How couldn't it? They could hear everything else!
Alfred motioned once more and Matthew crawled quickly across the alley to the other side to his brother. Gilbert was right behind him in a moment. He grabbed his hand and smiled worryingly.
Alfred led them along the wall until they came across another alley. This one was empty, thank God, and soon the pharmacy was in site.
The neon welcome sign had long since burnt out (but that was before the Sweep) and the lights were out. Most of the shelves were empty. The get-well-soon cards and anniversary gifts were all still there. No one would be celebrating those for a while.
The medicine files were raided, but the locked boxes were mostly left alone. Some had dents, but still there.
Alfred picked the locks to a few, looking for the essential and then taking ones that could possibly come in handy. Just in case items.
Gilbert and Matthew raided for food. They found fruit gummies and crackers mostly, but in the back, where the stock was kept, Matthew found an entire box of jerky. His mouth watered and he and Gilbert celebrated silently with a quick kiss.
Alfred came back to find them, holding up the bag of medicine and a jug of water. They all smiled triumphantly.
Distributing their goods evenly, so they could all carry something and not be too loaded down, the three began their trek back to their hideout.
The same alleyways were crossed, the one that had a Zeke was now empty and that didn't bode well deep in Matthew's stomach. A Zeke you couldn't see was the most dangerous. Those buggers sure could tackle.
Alfred knocked rhythmically on the door and they could hear quiet shuffling as the others inside quietly moved the blockade out of the way. They were quickly ushered in and the items were placed back against the door.
Arthur checked over them like a mother hen for wounds and wasn't satisfied until he'd done a full exam. Francis kissed their foreheads and then led them further into their hideout. Katerina was sitting on the couch, a pensive look on her tanned face. Michelle, next to her, had the same look.
Ludwig and Feliciano were in the kitchen with Feliciano's twin brother, Romano, and Antonio.
Matthew, Alfred, and Gilbert set down their spoils and their family flocked around them.
"We can't go back to that pharmacy for a while. Two weeks at the least," Alfred explained. "It gave us some good stuff this time, but if we go back too soon, we may run into someone."
"Or something," piped up Peter.
"Exactly. Tomorrow, me and Gil and Ivan are going to try and make it to the strip mall down the road from the pharmacy. It's getting close to winter and with no heat, we'll need some clothes. We can raid the vending machines and the courtyard for what it's worth."
Matthew shook his head. "No, Al. That's too far for just three people."
"It's too far for more," he replied gruffly. "Three is just fine. One to lead, one to watch out, and a third to watch our tails. Anymore and we risk making too much noise or running into someone we don't want finding us."
"At least wait a day! We just got this food and water, Al," Matthew pleaded. "You can go some other time!"
"We'll need to stock up now when there's still stuff to pick through. Once winter hits, the snow will have the sound we make travel longer and that won't be good if the Zekes have that good hearing that we think they do. We also can't risk getting sick, Mattie. A simple cold could do us all in."
Alfred stood tall to his brother who was fretting and fumbling. "F-Fine, but don't do anything stupid, eh! Don't take more than you can carry and still be able to swing a bat. A-And… if one of those things bites you, I swear to God I'll kill you myself." Matthew glared at his brother and then left the room. Gilbert followed after him.
Arthur set a heavy hand on Alfred's shoulder and gazed at him, nodding quietly.
"I'm going to take a nap," Alfred said, a frown on his face, as he left the room as well.
