Metro Exodus: Artyom X Male Reader

Chapter 5

King here it is very late at night but I'm in the mood to do the yamantau area because I have played through it at the moment and feel like giving the cannibal part a try

"Artyom, wake up"

"Hey, come on Artyom"
Anna sighed softly as she shook the male's shoulder, Artyom responded by lifting his head gently and looking at Anna
"Come on sleepyhead Y/N already managed to slip out from your grip two hours ago"

She teased and helped Artyom sit up, the said male rubbed his eyes and stood up, Alyosha stood up from his spot near the desk
"Finally your up, you had us worried when you stayed asleep for too long, Y/N and Duke are in the kitchen area with the rest Stephen is trying to impress Katya with his guitar skills, but the Colonel wants to speak with you sounds important or he just wants to yell at you again"

Alyosha joked as Artyom opened the sliding door of the train, stepping out into the hall he looked to his left and spotted Krest taking a smoke break at the end of the train he waved at Artyom
"Hey Artyom come join me for a little smoke break blyat, oooooh this one is strong"

He coughed hitting his chest a bit as he had taken a puff from his makeshift Cigarette, Artyom looked to his right to see the kitchen area he could see the others in there, Artyom started walking, he stepped past Katya and Natya's room, Stephan was in there a guitar resting against his stomach playing a few notes to Katya, he had gotten that guitar for Stephen from the bandit camp in the Volga a second one rested against the wall on the small pullout cot Artyom smiled as Katy and Stephan noticed his presence
"Hello Artyom Stephen here was showing me a song on his guitar"

The medic smiled gently as she turned back to look at Stephan who was adjusting the strings of his guitar, they didn't have or own and guitar pics so they had to improvise and use a few quarters but Artyom had one, well at least a makeshift one Y/N had given him for his 16th birthday back in the metro
"Hey Artyom come and join we've got an extra guitar for you if you want it"

Stephan said whilst nudging the other guitar with his foot
"Maybe next time I've got to talk with the Colonel first"

He signed and Stephan chuckled slightly, Artyom continued down the hallway to the kitchen where Duke and Y/N were playing cards, Sam and Idiot were arm wrestling, in the far end near the workshop he could see Tokarev and Natya, Tokarev was teaching the young girl how to sew as they were using Sam's rifle strap as a beginners base
"Well look who's awake, I told you he wasn't dead"

Duke laughed as he placed down his cards and Y/N only sighed in annoyance, his hair was up in a small bun but a few strands fell down his face like bangs
"Yeah yeah now can it Duke is it illegal to be worried? No? Then shut up"

"I was just tired from the mission on the bridge, we did have to wait until 4 am to start"
Artyom signed as he took Y/N coffee from his side taking a sip the said H/C male grumbled as he stacked the cards up, Sam and Idiot were not even close to winning as they had outmatched each other occasionally one of them would try to pin the others arm down
"No, but you were panicking as if you two were dating"

"Fuck you, Duke"
Y/N snarled at the male gripping the card stack in his hands, Artyom placed a soft hand on his friend's shoulder to calm him down and keep the peace, Damir was watching Sam and Idiot arm wrestling before looking at Duke
"You really shouldn't tease the man who could stuff your rifle full of mud like back in the metro"

He teased as Duke huffed, Y/N gave a victory air fist bump before he began to pass six cards to Duke and then six cards to himself
"Artyom you should head on over to the bridge, the colonel looks giddy as hell, and its a bit concerning"
