Nice guys finish last. Chivalry is dead.
They will always be in the friendzone.
I'm sure you've heard something like this before in your life.
It's something I wholeheartedly believe in.
But that would all change when I met that idiot.
That frustratingly cute idiot at the end of the world.
The Gentleman of the Apocalypse.
The sun had finally started to rise again as the orange light pierced through the deep blue sea and dark blue sky.
It's a brand new day and we're on the road again.
Perci and I were having a peaceful walk together as we held hands without a damn care in the world.
Every zombie that stood in our way, we were easily able to crush.
The empty lifeless streets of the city had become a perfect place for the two of us to be alone.
"This thing is a little uncomfortable...."
I said this while holding a muzzle in my mouth.
"I'm sure you'll get used to it."
"I'm surprised we were even able to find something like this!"
"Pfft." Perci covered his mouth.
"You think I look funny, don't you?"
"I think it looks cute..."
"Seriously...Why are you like this?" I blushed.
We continued to walk around silently, when a random thought suddenly popped out of my head.
"Perci....there's something I'd like to ask you."
"Ori....what is it?"
"Are we actually officially dating?"
"I guess so? Are there supposed to be some procedures or standards before engaging in a relationship?"
"Well, we've only confessed to each other....We don't even have a proper label yet!"
"But, when I said that I wanted to be your knight in shining armor, wasn't that enough?" Perci held his chin.
"Hmm, you have a point. I guess that counts. So we can say that we're girlfriend and boyfriend?"
"Yeah, I don't think it's supposed to be any more complicated...."
"I might just be overthinking it..."
I hugged Perci and nudged my face on him.
"Ah....my apocalypse boyfriend. You're the best one out of all of them!"
"But we haven't even spent a week in this relationship..."
"Come on...I already know you're the best! Can you think of someone from my exes who's better?"
"Nope."
"You know, I really thought I would never have a boyfriend ever again. Since I used to hate men so much."
"Well, life isn't constant. Humans change. You can't expect them to have the same thoughts and feelings forever."
"So it's possible that your perspective of me will change then? Does that mean you could stop loving me at any point in time?"
I looked into his eyes.
"As a gentleman, I would never give up on true love. Even if I lose my passion for you, even if I lose my intimacy with you, I will always stay committed to my duty, which is to be with you forever."
