Time Is Limited (Zooey Kern x M!Reader)

Ten

As the weeks went on, Zooey kept her word. She took a sebatical and moved in with Y/N. He was still able to do things as normal. The doctor said that he could fall at any moment and they needed to be prepared for it.

Zooey made sure that he had his groceries and everything. His appointments were attended. She even lied to all of their friends since Y/N was always a very private person.

"You know you don't have to do this." He told her as he walked into the kitchen. "You have a life. Go and live it. Don't spend it with a dying man."

Her heart broke at his words. She hated the idea of living in a world without him. She truly loves him so much that she would do anything for him. She would be anything for him.

"I want to be here Y/N." She told him as he shook his head at her.

"No you don't." He told her before he left the kitchen. She put the knife down before washing her hands and drying before following him. She found him stood on the porch.

"I do want to be here Y/N." She told him confidently. "I have wanted to be here forever and I know that I will never be able to have that life I dreamed of with you, I am cherishing what time we do have left. So don't do that. Don't push me away."

He sighed before he turned to face her. He watched as the moon shone in her eyes. Her perfectly green irises. The faint porch light cast shadows upon her face.

"You are still so breathtakingly beautiful." He told her with a smile. "I am happy that you are the one here for me."

Y/N and Zooey both were dancing on the dancefloor on their wedding day. Their parents were watching the couple with proud smiles on their faces.

Y/N gazed at Zooey lovingly as they danced together. He thought that he couldn't fall in love anymore but he did. He saw his whole future in her eyes.

"You are truly the most beautiful woman I have ever met." He told her softly. "And I can't wait to spend forever with you."

"I love you so much Y/N." She whispered before she leaned up and kissed him. They both smiled when they broke apart.

"I love you so much more." She rested her head on his shoulder. Just enjoying the closeness between one another. The way they wanted to be.

Y/N was sat watching Resident Evil. It was one of his favourite franchises. When he was younger, he had an obsession with the games.

Zooey was just waiting for him to fall. She knew that it could happen at any moment and she had to be ready for it.

She smiled as he sat there with his eyes glued to the TV. His favourite scene when they are on the train fighting the licker. Trying to kill it. What she couldn't was the tears in his eyes.

He thought that he had made peace with dying, but is anyone ever truly ready to die. Especially when he has only just got Zooey back. The woman who has always had his heart.

"Do I have your heart?" He asked her as she looked at him in shock.

"You do. You always have." She said as she approached him. "I'm just sorry that it's too late and I ruined many years that we could have had together."

He gave her a look that she hadn't seen in years. A look that he only reserved for her. He lifted his hand up to her cheek and smiled at her.

"I really want to kiss you but I don't want to break your heart with this thing." He whispered as Zooey's heart raced. She just leaned in as she looked in his eyes.

"Just kiss me." She breathed out. He soon closed the gap and kissed her with so many emotions. She soon wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer to her.

When they pulled away, both breathing heavily. He had a smile on his face with his eyes closed. Just as she did.

"I have missed that." He smiled as he opened his eyes and gazed lovingly at the woman before him.

"Me too." She whispered as her arms remained around his neck as she stole small kisses.

He thought that he was in heaven. With the woman he always wanted by his side. The woman he always thought about, even when he didn't want to.
