Leveling Up Wives In The Apocalypse

“That was… strange,” Mathew commented on Daria’s words once she finally disappeared from their view.

The look on his face was pretty peculiar. Yet, the hardships connected to traversing the area of the collapsed southern wing allowed the young man to hide his expression.

“It might surprise you, but I can actually understand her,” Nadia replied in a feeble voice. And then, before Mathew could take another step, she leaped forward only to snuggle up to his side.

She didn’t say anything further, opting to immerse herself in the warmth of her partner’s arm instead.

“Dear?” Mathew asked, looking down and to the side at the girl’s head. He couldn’t look Nadia in the eyes as she hid her face in the side of his shoulder.

‘Isn’t our height difference too damn convenient for her?’ Mathew complained in his insides. Yet, he had a very minimal amount of self-preservation instinct that stopped him from voicing this complaint.

“I can understand her,” Nadia finally spoke up. Yet, her voice was muffled by Mathew’s shoulder against which she pressed her face. “No,” she then shook her head to the sides. “I can understand the two of them,” Nadia corrected her initial statement.

Yet, rather than elaborating to help Mathew figure out what the heck did she mean, Nadia finally let go of his arm before rushing ahead.

“Can you help me understand the two of them, then?” Mathew requested, watching Nadia’s nimble movements. She had no problems catching up with him earlier. And now, she only needed two moments to hurry up ahead.

Yet, rather than escaping into the central point of the school that still stood, she turned around on her heel and looked at Mathew’s face with a look of determination behind her eyes.

“You want the two of us to get even, don’t you?” she asked.

‘Her voice is not flirty at all,’ Mathew noticed, only to then bite down on his lips.

He was a survivor of the apocalypse. The advantage of two weeks’ worth of experience that he had over others sadly didn’t extend over to the topic of relationship, nor did it give him an easier time understanding what Nadia meant.

“If you are uncomfortable with it, then forget it,” Mathew said.

It was the safest path out of all the routes he could pick. And the one that required the least courage out of him.

“I won’t let you off without you saying it out loud,” Nadia smiled lightly.

‘Did she notice my awkwardness?’ Mathew thought, only to shake his head.

“Fine,” he said as he lowered his head and took a deep breath. He then raised his eyes back at the girl and looked directly at her face. “I want to watch you pleasure yourself,” he said as he took a step forward. “I want you to do it while looking me in the face,” he added, taking another step forward.

He then leaped forward only to reach out and grab Nadia’s hands as he brought them to his lips and planted a delicate kiss right on top of her knuckles.

“Is this the right way for us to get even?” Mathew asked as he allowed the weight of his and Nadia’s hands to bring them down and away from their faces.

A happy smile grew up on Nadia’s face… Only to suddenly mix up with embarrassment just a moment before she averted her eyes to the side.

“You guys really can’t stop flirting for a damn second,” Leila suddenly commented from behind Mathew’s back.

‘Woah,’ the young man jumped up, letting go of Nadia’s hands like some sort of a school boy caught up on the act by a teacher. Yet, this momentary surprise came and went… but Mathew’s shock remained.

‘How could she move through this place without me noticing it?’ he thought, baffled by such a possibility.

“Is there anything wrong with that?” Nadia asked, shaking her head to get rid of her embarrassment.

Even though she claimed to understand what was going through Daria’s and Leila’s heads, that didn’t mean she was happy when interacting with the former.

Leila looked at Nadia’s face, refusing to open her mouth for a moment. This silent confrontation lasted only a short while. Afterward, Leila lowered her eyes and shook her head.

“No, there is nothing wrong with that at all,” she stated before lowering her head even further and moving past the couple. “I’m sorry to bother the two of you,” she apologized before hurrying up inside the part of the school that still stood despite all the damage done to its load-bearing walls.

“That was different from what I expected,” Mathew muttered, still shocked by the complete lack of sound that Leila made while approaching their back.

In an open field with nothing but grass or soft floor to walk on? It would be doable. But in a field covered in ruins of an entire wing of the school’s building?

“Same here,’ Nadia admitted, looking in the direction the girl disappeared in. Yet, before long, she turned her eyes back to Mathew; the determination in them now reignited. “So how about we stop dawdling and….”

“No,” Mathew denied Nadia’s request before she could even voice it out. “For now, there is something else that we all should do,” he said before taking a step forward. “And it is to take a shower while the water is still running. Who knows when we will have the chance to do it again,” he pointed out before hurrying after Leila’s steps.

The apocalypse started several hours ago. And according to Mathew’s experiences from his past run, the basic utilities of the city would continue to work only for a few hours into the next morning.

That gave them more than enough time to fill all sorts of containers with relatively drinkable water… but it also meant that a luxury such as a shower was only possible while those utilities still worked!
