Kinemortophobia

Woe To Us

The truck arrived in California. The survivors sighed in relief as they are getting closer to salvation.

"Alright, we're gettin' closer to Nevada! I can't feel it, ladies and gentlemen!" Reymar exclaimed in joy.

"Yep! Guess we're getting the victory this time, dude!" Cyra replied.

The two looked at each other for a moment and slightly smiled. They then looked back on the road.

"Hey.... About your confession in the store." Cyra finally spoke up about it.

Reymar slowly looked at her, feeling surprised that she brought it first. He gulped a bit, as he is both curious and confused at the reason why he talked about it.

Cyra slowly looked at him with a blushing cheeks. Reymar started to notice the red markings on her face, which made her even prettier than she usually is pretty. Without him expecting, Cyra gently pulled him closer to her with a soft smile.

Reymar gasped a bit, as his cheeks started to burn with an intense blushing.

"Let me reply to your confession, Reymar~" Cyra giggled as she suddenly kissed his lips deeply.

Reymar felt like he was in a trance as Cyra's soft lips touched his. It's like some sparks shone around him. With that, he let himself driven by his love and returns the kiss while also slowly wrapping his arms around the woman's waists.

The two remain this way for the next couple minutes, before finally departing their lips. Reymar slowly looked at Cyra, his smile remains like it is in a trance.

The others watches them.

"Damn." Ramil commented.

Nyx just shrugged while petting Ezra's hair who's sleeping with his head on her lap.

"Kinda reminds me of my boyfriend..." Tintin mutters to herself.

The ride continues. Ramil pulled some croissants from his pocket to which he found from the store earlier. He decided to share it to the others.

"Who wants some crow-sants?" Ramil said to them.

"What?" Bea asked confusedly.

"Crow-sants. You know, this." Ramil replied and shows some croissants.

"Isn't that pronounced 'Cro-siants'?" Bea tries to correct him.

"No, no, no. You guys are wrong. It's pronounced 'Curasan'." Eight corrected them both.

"Cura-what?" Both Ramil and Bea got confused.

"It's pronounced 'Quaso'. Not 'Curasan' or 'Cro-siants' or 'Crow-sants'." Tintin joined in.

"Oh, come on! It doesn't matter what it's pronounced! Just take it and eat, will ya?" Ramil got annoyed and gave them the croissant.

They decided to just silently grabbed the croissant and began to eat. Nyx watches them and silently chuckled while petting Ezra's hair.

After a while, Ezra finally wakes up and looked up at Nyx who's stroking his hair with her finger. He smiled and blushed. Nyx returned the smile as well.

"We're gettin' close to the evac center." Nyx smiled as she told him.

Ezra smiles softly and snuggles unto her touch, "Finally."

It is already evening, but they were fortunate to not encounter a single Necro. However, sometimes fortune had jinx following it behind. Erich quickly stopped the truck after seeing a horde of Volatiles running towards them with a Green-banded leading them at front. The horde started charging towards the truck.
