Thion 3XQ: Journey (SaTzu) [ON HOLD]

Chapter Seventeen

"So is this the relic?" Nayeon said while inspecting the box. After the girls had found the box they shoveled the mounds of dirt back into the hole. Momo's arms felt like they were going to fall off; she was so tired, that Sana then took over. They then transported back to the base where Tzuyu went to wash off the shovels and put them back. It was late in the night when all three girls walked back into the tent all dirty and muddy. Nayeon had woken up and asked them what happened. The other girls woke up from the sound of Nayeon's voice. They told them about the grave and how they had to dig it up.

"We believe so" Momo said.

"That seemed way too easy" Jeongyeon said as she stared at the box. So Tzuyu wasn't the only one who felt that way. Sana felt that way as well but she didn't want to think too much about it.

"Let's not dwell on that, we maybe found one of the relics so that's good enough for now. We need to show the Captain as well as the Queen. I think once we get all four together then we'll know" Tzuyu said. They all agreed to show the Captain first thing tomorrow morning. Right now, they were dirty and exhausted. As usual, Tzuyu invited Sana to her apartment to have a nice warm shower as well as to sleep.

"Aren't you going to invite me over for a warm bath too?" Momo batted her eyelids in a teasing manner.

Tzuyu rolled her eyes and lightly shoved her way, "No" she held Sana's hand as the older girl bid them all a goodnight. It had been a while since Sana actually spent a night and slept in the tent with the other girls. In the little time they were together, she'd gotten so used to waking up in Tzuyu's bed. The only downside is that sometimes she'd wake up to an empty bed because Tzuyu would sometimes go for an early run in the mornings, being a SGT meant she had to be fit.

"Are you hungry?" Tzuyu asked the minute after they entered the apartment. Sana shook her head, she was more tired than anything else and she could see how exhausted Tzuyu was.

"Go take a shower first, I know you're tired" Sana took off her muddy shoes and left it by the door. Tzuyu nodded, she wanted to ask Sana to take a shower together but decided against it, she was much too tired. After Tzuyu was done, Sana went in next, not taking too long as she'd usually do since she was also tired. She walked out of the room wearing Tzuyu's sweats. She's been wearing a lot of Tzuyu's clothes lately unlike the other girls who had been using Tzuyu's card to buy themselves clothes and other things.

Tzuyu was never rich growing up, despite being basically taken in my Chaeyoung's family she allows worked for herself. Being here at the base had its perks, not to mention she did get a really big pay for her first official mission. She didn't feel like she deserved it so she didn't mind Elkie using her card to buy whatever.

Sana walked into Tzuyu's room and found the younger girl sleeping already, she was wrapped up in her burrito blanket, Sana found it cute. Tzuyu tried to stay up until Sana was finished but she succumbed to her sleepiness. It was only when Sana climbed into bed with her that Tzuyu shuffled closer to the older girl and wrapped her arm around her waist and nuzzled into her neck.

"Tzuyu"

"Mmm?" Tzuyu was still half asleep.

"Do you really think that's the relic?"

Tzuyu slightly looked up to see Sana staring at the ceiling. "I don't know.. I'd like to think it is.."

"It's true as Jeonyeon said, didn't you also feel like it may have been too easy to find?"

Tzuyu slightly sat up, using her elbow to support her weight as she looked down at Sana who was now staring at her. "I know, but we have more important things to worry about right now. So don't think about it too much, okay?" She gave her a small kiss on her jaw as she nuzzled back into the older girl. "For now, let's just sleep" she mumbled. After that Tzuyu drifted off to sleep and Sana followed soonly after.
