The both of them turned around and Arthur began to swinging his hatchet to ‘Bitch from Antarctica' while Brian striking his bat to ‘Bitch from Pluto' and send her flying back on her track and stumbling with another zombies when it fall. Arthur keep slashing his hatchet steadily at her head, and Brian bashing the bat at her feet and with a final blow on her head by Arthur stopping her movement completely.

      ‘Bitch from Pluto' getting up and began to running to Brian again with both arms spread wide. If there’s no blood and that creepy smile, one might think that it just want to hug Brian. But not this ‘Bitch from Pluto’. So he swing his bat again and he go for its head this time, after knowing that it was easier to kill them if their head—or brain is damaged more than their other body parts.

      And that was a fact everyone who loves zombies movies or comics would knew. So of course it drop dead on the floor after its skull busted beyond oblivion.

      The other zombies also advancing toward them excitedly again. But now they’re ready.

      Brian taking his sickle from his open backpack and striking it perfectly on ‘Bitch from Underworld’ neck and made a wide wound on her neck. Next, he’s striking her head with his bat as hard as he can to the corridor wall. The finishing blow is done by Arthur on her neck once again, and her head rolling on the floor while blood spurting from her.

      “You know, you should totally gives me a Valentine’s chocolate when we’re out later.” Arthur said nonchalantly and started to striking another ‘World Bitches’ with his iron rod and he keep striking it at the same spot on it’s head.

      “ARE YOU FUCKIN' KIDDING ME?! IT’S A FUCKIN’ ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE AND YOU’RE STILL THINKING ABOUT THE FUCKIN' VALENTINE’S CHOCOLATES?!!” Brian shouted at Arthur with bewildered expression—a little distracted—while smashing the zombie head he formerly know as the ‘Bitch from Salem Lot’ until she’s not moving from the ground anymore.

      “Well, since you look so comfortable using that bat I gives you, you could at least-Ugh—“ the zombies that just turned before finally reached them and tried to take a bite at Arthur hand while he’s focusing his attention to the female zombies and totally forgetting about the only male one, but Brian that have finished his business with ‘Bitch from Salem Lot' immediately striking his sickle sharp tip at the feral looking zombie head and pulling it away from Arthur “—OH! I’m saved!”

      “Saved your ass! Focus on survive first you dipshit!” Brian scolded and yank out the sickle from the male zombie head he don’t know who and stabbing it again until it lay lifelessly on the floor.

      The aftermath is rather uneventful, with the both of them panting heavily and leaned against the wall, blood flooding the floor and wall. The blood of course also splashed on Arthur and Brian body, but it seems like the blood alone wouldn’t be able to infect them.

      After steadying his breath, Arthur decide to be the first to make a sounds.

      “Phew. That was something.”

      “Something that almost kill you.” Brian exhaling loudly form his mouth.

      “At least we didn’t get hurt. I thought I’m gonna die back then.”

      “Yeah, and how in the world you still managed to care about the damned Valentine shit in this kind of shitty situation?” he asked with an annoyed look at Arthur.

      “That’s exactly why!” he said that with an exclamation on his voice, “I’ll never get to get your valentine’s chocolate, so I at least want to reassured myself that I would live a bit longer to get it one day. Just think of it as me wanting to have something to live for.” He shrugged and smiled weakly to Brian.

      “…Seriously, your motivation in life is to get my valentine’s chocolate? Are you an idiot? Huh? Who the fuck living their life only to wait for their crush to give them a damned chocolates? Huh? Huh? Only you. You, you big idiot!” He pointed his index finger at Arthur chest when he said the last sentence.

      “Ahaha… I know its sounds totally idiotic, but you see, I only want yours.” He laughed pathetically.

      “Seriously, you really are the biggest idiot I’ve ever met in my life!” Brian grabbed the back of Arthur head and tug it down to met his lips with his. The kiss lasted for a second or two, but it felt like eternity before Brian letting off his grip from Arthur head, and whispered on his ear, “You said a kiss was fine, right?” And the seconds that happened, Arthur only reaction is staring at Brian clear green eyes with his two widely opened eyes. Completely caught off guard, his mind stopped working for the moment.

      Before he was able to proceeded what just happened, Brian have turned around and walking away from him. He saw red creeping in Brian ears and Arthur seemed to be glued on his spot. His brain is still slowly trying to putting down together everything that happened a few seconds before. And its suddenly click.

      Brian is ‘kissing’ him.

      Kiss, as in touching or pressing one lips with the other person to show affection, love, or passion. That kind of kiss. Not that Hershey’s Kisses chocolate.

      That kiss.

      And he blushed. The always grumpy Brian is blushing. Or maybe he just imagining everything. The kiss might even been a result of his imagination, he reasoned, because the act of Brian doing this kind of thing only ever happened in his imagination.

      Brian turning around when he noticed that Arthur is still standing on his spot and not following him, and he shouted to him, “What the fuck are you waiting for? Come on. Let’s get the fuck out from this damned place.”

      Arthur startled at his voice and looked straight to Brian. Arthur gaping for a second before his lips turned upwards and formed a grin like a man who’s have won the billion dollar lottery and running lightly at the still red faces Brian.

      “Dream or not, that face he made just now worth the wait.”

      “The fuck are you making that face? It’s even more creepier than the fuckin’ zombies before,” said Brian as Arthur made it beside him.

      “Welp, I’m just happy to get your Valentine gift! Its not chocolates, but still, its sweeter than the real chocolate!” Arthur said happily, still grinning from ear to ear while looking at Brian that still couldn’t made the deep red color disappeared from his face.

      Brian decide to ignore him and muttering “Real chocolates doesn’t even taste sweet,” with small voice while looking straight to the door at end of the hall with the label ‘EMERGENCY’ and ‘EXIT' written in red above it on the other side from where they came in, far away from the hall that full with blood and dead zombies. If being a zombie doesn’t count as dead already.

      “I swore to God that if I ever met the person who’s designed this place, I will throw them to the herd of zombies out there to be the their free eat all you want dinner.”

      “If they’re not a zombies already.”

      “I don’t give a shit. I’m gonna beat them down for making an unnecessary long corridor to reach a single exit.”

      Arthur laughed, and Brian only scowled.

      “So, any idea where we should go next?” Arthur ask him after his laughter died down.

      “Hm… You see, remember my uncle Phill? The nutty one? He’s actually the only one in my whole family that really cares for me—“ Arthur injected “But he’s nutty” “—I know. So shut up. Well… he’s also a doomsday nutty. The one you see spending millions on food, shelter and shit to prepare for shitty situation like this to happen. Although he’s actually preparing for earth to froze over like on the ice age, but he had stacked up foods and other supplies for years in his secret bunker—safe house, as he call it—and it will be enough for us to live for years, and I kid you not, his food supplies is stuffing the place all over you literally can eat like pig and it will not even reduce in number.

      “He have no wife or kid since his former wife had leave him because of his… hobby. He’s quite fond of me since I’m always listening silently when he talks about the doomsday that going to come at thanksgiving while everyone just running away and turned their blind eyes and deaf ears at him.

      “But anyway, he really close to my mother and despise my dad, so I do have something I could say ‘share the feeling of' with him. I rarely comes in contact with him after all the drama that happened after my mom death, but he did send me some cash regularly, despite my refusal for accepting the money.

      “Oh, and he’s a paranoid kind, so he never told anyone about the location of his safe house beside me—well, not the one that I know off. He had told me where to go when disaster strike, and I have no idea how he will react if he know that I’m bringing over someone with me, but I hope he’ll understand. It just a few mile out from the town. Around half a hour by car? If we got cars though. It should be safe there. Maybe.”

      “’Maybe'? Are you even sure its fine for me to come with you?” Arthur giving a doubtful look at Brian. Brian only shaking his head lightly.

      “No way in hell I’m going to abandon you here. And did you got any better idea?”

      “Nope.” Arthur said with straight face and they’re stopped in front of the emergency exit door.

      “Figures.”

      “What’s that supposed to mean?!”

      “Nothing.” Brian opened the door slightly.

      “Argh, whatever. Let’s just meet that uncle Armageddon of yours and kept holed up in his safe house or whatever for as long as we can. No worries though, I will still repay you fairly and greatly on white d-Ouch! That’s hurt!”

      “Shut your trap and dirty mind. There’s more outside. And I mean it.” Brian hit Arthur temple when he closed the door after he peeked to see the situation outside.

      “Well… I’ll worry about your presents later then. Now—“ cracking the bone on his neck and doing a small circular movement with both of his arm, warming up, and giving his half-smile at Brian “—shall we start the party?” Brian raising his brow at Arthur. “Come on now. It’s not like they’ll let us pass without trying to have a taste of your sweet flesh.”

      Brian rolled his eyes, but then also raising his baseball bat into a ready to kill position and nodded.

      “Then, let’s hope we don’t get a hangover tomorrow morning.” Brian said with a serious expression, the blush finally gone completely from his cheeks, and Arthur is grinning again, taking his metal rod in one hand and hatchet in the other, ready.

      “On three.”

      “Two.”

      “Can I got another kiss before we go?”

      “No.”

      “Boo.” Arthur pouted.

      “Shaddap.”

      “Come on, just one more kiss?”

      “…I’ll give you one if we’re still alive after this.” Brian said and blushed a little. Arthur grinned a toothy grin.

      “AWESOME! Then… ONE! LET’S START THE MASSACRE!!!” he shouted, and Brian rolled his eyes again.

      “Zero. Let’s kill these motherfuckers.”

      “YEAHHHHH!!!”

      Brian opened the door, to the zombies filled road and screaming humans, and the two of them facing and knocking down everything that look like a zombies on the way in the now not so calm, normal, snowy, chilling winter day on February.

      And thus begin their life in the zombies infested world.
