10 Ah, even heaven is against our wedding! What should I do, doll?

Sunbeams slipped into a room through a small glass of window, making rays of light scattered straight across bunk beds in the room. The bed's occupants then started to arise unwillingly from their sleep as the morning finally came again.

Zhiqiang furrowed his eyebrow as he twitched from his sleep, feeling so comfortable on the warm bed that he felt like to just lazy around on the bed longer. But he knew he had to wake up and face the world again. He groaned a bit and nuzzled his warm pillow even deeper. A tremble suddenly spread over his pillow. Zhiqiang froze, a bad feeling rang in the back of his mind out of sudden.

Did his pillow move just now?

Zhiqiang held his breath uneasy. After a while, he finally opened his eyelids in nervous, widening his dark eyes as soon as he saw his suspicious came true.

Damn it, this pervert!!

Zhiqiang jumped up from his 'pillow' with a flustered expression. But a pair of strong arms immediately warped around his body like octopus and pulled him back to the warm body. Zhiqiang cursed aloud, but owner of that warm body just flipped him on the bed so he was under him and nuzzled his neck affectionately as if he had always did this before.

"Dom!!" Zhiqiang hissed in anger, but his flushed face betrayed his embarrassment. He punched the blond man's body which pressed his body in irritation. But the blond man just tightened his arms and nuzzled his neck even deeper. "Noisy…" a rough and hoarse voice came from his neck.

Damn it!!

Zhiqiang cursed in anger. No matter how he struggled, his body could not escape from the man's strong arms. He really wanted to beat this giant octopus, but he knew his strength could not compare to the man. No, he had to calm down! He took a long breath, feeling tired out of sudden even though it was still early in the morning.

Damn it, this pervert! When did he come to his bed?! He swore he slept alone last night!

"Dom, wake up!! I have to work!" He hissed at the man in annoyed tone.

The blond man's body twitched a bit when he heard his words. Then a displeasure voice was heard from his neck. "Why did you tell people about your job? You should just come with me to hunt." The man complained like a child whose toy was just taken from.

Zhiqiang rolled his eyes. "Unlike you, I still need functioning like a normal people."

An angry growl was heard from his neck in response. "This world isn't normal anymore. What the hell for did you pretend to be normal?!"

Zhiqiang let out a sigh, but chose not to answer. "Come on, I wanted to go up." He persuaded the man who still hugged him in tight grip.

There was sound of discontent grumbles from his neck. After a while, the blond man finally was loosening his arms and raised his head to face the black haired man.

Zhiqiang held his breath as he suddenly caught under a pair of blue eyes. His dark eyes stared at the blue eyes tensely for a moment. There was no expression on the man's face or even on the blue eyes. Dominick was just staring at him emotionlessly without any sound.

Zhiqiang opened his lips but no sound was out as he did not know what to say. Their eyes just stared at each other in tensed silence for a while. A suffocate feeling attacked his chest when the man still did not say anything. His heart started beating faster and louder, did not know because of nervous or fear. He swallowed difficulty. "Dom…"

Dominick blinked at his call. His emotionless stare vanished in a flash as if it was just an illusion. The man smirked a little at him before finally letting go of the younger man. He sat up from the bed and yawned in drowsy like a normal person who just wake up.

Zhiqiang stared at the man for a moment before shaking his head. He sighed, deciding to not think about the strangeness of the man. He looked over to other bunk beds, finding the occupants were still sleeping on them. However he could heard sounds of people waking up from outside. The sunrise must be just appeared.

Zhiqiang sat up and took out something from under the bed. It was two plastic wrapped cans. Inside it was a leftover of meat from dinner last night that he purposely saved for a little observation. He opened the plastic wraps for the first can, holding his breath immediately once a strong, pungent smell reached his nose. He covered his nose and looked over the meat inside clearly.

The meat that was used to be fresh last night now looked yellowed green colored with a lot of slimy and sticky liquids covering the rotten meat, a sign of a lot of bacteria infected it. There was even a black and green dot of fungi on the surface of meat.

While the meat in the second can was a bit better looking than the first. There were slimy and sticky liquids but the stain of fungi was a lot lesser than the first. The differences were because the second meat was roasted first, while the first meat was not.

This was his third observation. The first was letting the meat exposed to the air openly and waiting the meat rotting. He found the meat could not last for more than two hours before the meat started to rot. The second was covering the meat tightly in the can, and checked it again after a few hours. He found the meat could last for more than two hours, but the difference really was not big.

It seemed if he really wanted to save meat supplies, he had to find a way to preserve them. This speed of infection was too fast.

"Done with your test, doctor?" A teasing voice was heard in front of him.

Zhiqiang looked up at the blond man and sneered coldly. He threw the cans into a plastic bag, preparing to throw them outside later. He ignored the man and walked toward the bathroom in the room. But as if displeased of being ignored, the man suddenly pulled his body back and warped his arms around his waist.

Zhiqiang yelped in surprise. His feet walked back in unsteady steps before stabilizing himself. He immediately glared at the culprit who hugged him from behind. "Dom!" he hissed in irritation.

Dominick grinned with a please expression. "You haven't given me a good morning kiss," he complained like a pouting child who asked for his favorite candy.

A warm flush immediately filled his ears. Zhiqiang glared harder at the man. "Stop it! What if other people wake up and saw us?!" he hissed in warning.

Dominick instantly frowned in displeasure at his words. "So what if they saw? You are mine. Let them saw it, I don't care as—"

"What the fuck?!"

A shout suddenly was heard from the back of room alongside a loud crashing sound. Groaning sounds immediately heard as all occupants in the rooms was waking up one by one.

Zhiqiang felt a dread in stomach as he looked over the source of the shout just now. It was young man in his late teens with a short blond hair. A lot of freckles stood out on his cheeks which were paling in green colored once he saw their ambiguous position.

He stood up from the floor with a finger pointing at them in disrespectful. "Y-y-y-you faggot!!!" He shouted in anger and disgusted voice. The people beside him immediately woke up too and looked over them. They widened his eyes in confusion and surprise at them.

Zhiqiang frowned, crossing his arms over his chest. He did not care about Dominick anymore even when the blond man tightened his arms over his waist. He just raised his eyebrow and stared coldly at the impudent kid.

"What did you say?"

The young man's face instantly changed from green to red in anger. "Y-y-you—how dare a fag like you to be this room?!! T-this is disgusting!! To think I am roomed with a disgusting faggot—" he freaked out with shivering his body.

Zhiqiang rolled his eyes in disgust. "Oh, I am sorry then to make your holy person dirty, but I guessed this little dirty would be too much for your miniscule mentality, especially for a snotty brat like yourself."

"W-w-what?!!" The young man exploded with a red face.

"What did you just say to my son?!" An older blond man stood beside the young man exploded in anger. He stared at Zhiqiang with full of loath and disgust expression.

"Dad, you have to report this!! How can that faggot roomed with us?!" the young blond complained with a whinny voice full of disgust tone.

A woman with blond hair immediately walked toward the young man and soothed him in soft tone. "Don't worry, honey. Mom will report this to your uncle. I am sure, that…" she glanced at Zhiqiang with a disgust expression, "…man will immediately be thrown away from the base."

Zhiqiang frowned. He was about to say something when a man with black hair who had a seeming Hispanic descent looks suddenly walked forward to the middle of them with his hands facing the blond family.

With a panicked voice, the black haired man tried to mediate the fight. "Hey, hey, wait a minutes! Don't be like this! We are trying to survive together here! So don't—"

"Shut up!! Who the hell did you think you are?! My brother is a colonel here! You think you have the right to rebuke us?!" The father of blond family immediately shouted back in anger.

The black haired man instantly paled. "T-that—"

Tok! Tok! Tok!

Loud knocking sounds suddenly were heard from the door of the room. All occupants in the room instantly looked over to the door.

A black haired woman who was currently standing closest to the door then decided to open it. She looked up in surprise seeing a tall and upright blond woman was standing outside the door. "C-captain!" she called in surprise.

The mother of blond family immediately lit up her eyes. She then walked toward the door with a gloating expression at the gay couple. She opened the door fully, showing Captain Garcia was standing there.

"Captain Anne!" The mother called out in familiar nickname. "Captain! You arrived in the right time! You have to help us!" She glanced at the gay couple in disgust.

Captain Garcia frowned a bit. "Is there a problem?"

The mother immediately put a pitiful expression at the female captain. "Yes, you have to help us! It is so horrible! It is still in early morning but that man was attacking my son!" she said glancing at Zhiqiang who was still hugged by Dominick.

"Hey, wait a minutes!!" The seeming Hispanic man immediately interrupted in panic.

"See! Captain, He even rebuked me! They all grouped together to attack my son!" The mother instantly said pitifully at the female captain without hesitation, causing the black haired man widened his eyes in shock.

"Hey, you—!!"

"What has happened?" Captain Garcia interrupted with a cold voice. Her eyes were sweeping all occupants in the room coldly, causing them to immediately silence in fear. She stopped at the doctor after there was no one who was willing to say anything.

"Doctor Zhou?" Captain Garcia asked the black haired man, causing some people in the room widened their eyes in surprise hearing his title.

Zhiqiang glanced at the blond family with a cold smile. "It is nothing, Captain, just a crude kid who was making a ruckus in the morning. Thanks for the help, Captain."

Captain Garcia frowned and glanced at the blond kid that was mentioned. The father immediately wanted to complain but silenced by the female captain's cold stare.

"I see. I hope there will not be a problem in this room." The female captain said as warning. She glanced once coldly to the all occupants in the room before stopping her eyes on the doctor again. "Doctor Zhou, can I speak to your husband for a moment?" She asked, surprising all people in the rooms.

"Husband?!" The blond kid shouted in shock which was immediately silenced by the female captain.

Zhiqiang glanced at the blond kid for a moment before looking at the female captain again. "Dominick? Why do you want to talk to him?"

"I just checked your resume yesterday, and realized you husband was a boxing athlete before this disaster." Captain Garcia nodded in grateful. "The military wanted to invite him to join the troops," she said shocking all people in the room, especially the blond family who were fuming in anger.

Zhiqiang glanced at Dominick. Actually, he already suspected this would happen when he saw the man wrote his job description honestly. He nudged the man to let go of his arms from him and talk to the female captain. But Dominick only glanced at him a bit before dragging him along toward the captain without loosening his arms a bit from the black haired man.

Zhiqiang sighed and dragged his feet to follow along. They talked outside the room, though not really giving them privacy as his roommates was still ears dropping them from the door of the room.

Captain Garcia explained to them all works that a new soldier needed to do in the base. There were three types of job that a new soldier could choose, guarding the base, mapping new routes, and hunting resources from outside.

If Dominick agreed, then he had to report to main post to receive his task. His job would be rolled depending of the situation.

After thanking the female captain for the invitation, Zhiqiang watched in silence as the captain walked away. He then glanced at the blond man who had not let go of his arms yet. "Are you going to join in?" he asked in curious.

Dominick looked down at him. A small smirk was curled on his lips as he asked the younger man. "What do you think?"

Zhiqiang frowned. He knew the man was not a type that liked to follow rules. He was sure the man would prefer to destroy the rules instead. He did not know if it would be alright to let the man join the military. It was not the man that he was worried about, it was the military. What if this psychopath did something bad to the military?

After thinking a moment, he eventually said, "You should join them. Maybe you could get some important information from the military."

Dominick's blue eyes lit up once he heard his words. Those blue eyes glinted in indescribable emotions as they stared at the black haired man. But a bright smile was curled widely on his lips. "Why did I felt you just become a lot cuter, doll?"

"What?!" Zhiqiang narrowed his eyes at him as warning. The man just grinned innocently then before the black haired man could react he pulled his face forward and kissed lips soundly.

Zhiqiang yelped in surprise, grabbing the man's shoulder in flustered motion as the man ravaged his mouth impatiently. His hot tongue swept inside his mouth, licking and sucking all breaths and sweet liquids from inside.

After a few second, the man finally let go of him. His blue eyes glinted dangerously as he stared at the black haired man. He licked saliva from his own lips and let out a satisfied smirk.

Zhiqiang glared at him in anger. However warm flush at his cheeks betrayed his embarrassment. He turned around to avoid the man, but paused once he saw all his roommates were watching them with a gapping mouth.

The blond kid slammed his mouth in shock when he realized the fag stared at him. Disgusts instantly spread all over his body. He pointed at the black haired man in anger. "Y-y-y-you—!!"

Zhiqiang frowned. His dark eyes narrowed as something suddenly rang a bell in realization inside his mind. He turned sharply at the blond man. "You did it on purpose!!" he hissed at the man in a low voice.

Dominick just smiled with an innocent and harmless expression as if he really did not know what the younger man accused him for.

Zhiqiang narrowed his eyes further in suspicious. "You really did it on purpose right? The kiss just now, and the thing in the morning before."

"What do you mean, babe?" The blond man asked still with his innocent smile.

Zhiqiang glared at him suspiciously. "Don't you dare to play me again!" He hissed in warning before walking away toward the room with a huff, all the way cursing the psychopath.

Dominick just stared the black haired man with an almost imperceptible smile curled on his lips
