Chapter Text
Q doesn’t know when it started, all they remember is walking to their next class with Grim and all of a sudden Ace rammed into them. “Q! Thank god I found you, we have to leave.” Ace pulled them up and started to run again, Q grabbed Grim to not lose them and they ran into Deuce.
“Ace! Q! Why are you two rushing?” Deuce crossed his arms, Ace looked around before pushing all four of them in an empty classroom. Locking the door, he gestured to them to stay low and so they did.
He took a deep breath. “Trein is dead.”
Q and Deuce looked at him, disbelief painted all over their faces. “Ace are you pranking us?” Deuce asked incredulously, Q was speechless. Ace looked at their faces and opened his mouth to deny it when..
BANG!
The trio flinched and Q looked over to the door, someone was at the door. Professor Trein, he was outside, Q turned to face Ace and scold him for what they thought was a prank. They froze as Ace paled, his figure shaking softly and he was mumbling something. Q managed to hear a few words, it was ‘no's' and ‘go away’.
They quietly scooted over, grabbing Ace’s shoulder making him jolt. “Ace.. What aren’t you telling us?” Q asked softly as not to make Ace panic more, Deuce glanced at them, looking at Ace for answers as well. Ace took deep breaths until he was calm enough to explain what exactly happened. “I.. I was in history when Jamil came in, he was all.. Bruised up and bloody and shit. Trein-sensei tried to get him to the nurse and asked me to carry him when.. When Jamil lunged forward and bit off Trein’s..” He paused and shuddered at the memory, before continuing. “Trein’s throat.. It was scary and bloody, Q..” Upon closer inspection, Ace had a bit of blood on him. Some on his face, a few more on his uniform.
“Oh.. Oh my god Ace..” Q wasn’t sure how to respond or better yet comfort the poor Hearts soldier, but it seemed Deuce knew how to comfort someone. (unlike Q) Deuce came over and wrapped his arms around Ace, rubbing his back as Ace silently sobbed. Trein or someone who looked eerily similar to the professor had already left the outside of the door, Q doesn’t know why nor do they wanna know.
“I wonder where the other students are..” Q mumbled, loud enough for the other two to hear.
“I saw Jack ‘n’ Sebek before you two found me.” Deuce had a still shaky Ace leaning on his shoulder, rubbing his shoulder. It was kind of a cute moment for those two, considering they bicker on the daily.
A question suddenly popped up in Q’s mind. They cleared their throat to get Ace’s attention, and said male looked at Q. “Why were you panicking earlier when you ran into Grim and I?” Ace remembered why he was panicking and began to explain. At the end of the explanation, something fell on the floor causing them all to flinch.
“What was that?!”
“I don’t know!”
“Shut up.. You all are so noisy..”
"What is going on?!"
"Lilia-sama!"
"The zombie apocalypse has begun.."
