Found Paradise In Hell : Resident Evil AU (Todoroki Shoto X Reader)

Chapter 9 : Secrets Finally Revealed

Things turned out to be great, it seems like no one suspected me for now. It was satisfying how everything was at this moment. Shoto held me by my waist as we made our way towards the main hall.

Class 1-A and B trailing behind after us as we led them to our destination. Everything was truly great, and for a moment I forgot all of my worries. We all laughed and passed around jokes about Monoma and Bakugo who were in the back of the group currently bickering about class 1-A's victory.

Their friends had to hold them back from tearing each other apart. 'Poor Kirishima and Tetsutetsu.' I laughed along with them, Shoto smiling beside me. Mina who was at my right began to joke about some stuff.

By the time we were done with the whole competition it was already nearing 5 PM. I continued to joke around with all the girls and some of the guys. At this moment I was so happy, but something happened. And then I realized, happiness doesn't last forever. It's only temporary, if you want it as well. You're going to have to fight for it.

A creature popped out from the direction of the cabins, it was limping slowly towards us. It had the form of a human, but you could barely call it that anymore. Its shirt had rips and tears at the hems and blood scattered around it, most notably from his shirt and mouth. The smell of rotting corpse was prominent in the air, whilst groans and moans of pain sounded off from the creature.

The creature looked familiar to everyone, but then again they couldn't be sure. It was too different from the Nakamura Haru that they knew, the smartest boy in their entire grade. But no one could deny the strikingly disheveled bright purple hair that looked almost exactly the same as his, that hair color was what made Nakamura stuck out like a sore thumb. But what made Nakamura Haru stick out to both Shoto and (Y/n) was the fact they could recall that he was the cashier that flirted with (Y/n), that was just recently as well.

The pupils of the creature were clouded over by some white mist, as though it was in a cataract. He was deathly pale and his blood red veins were prominently visible, especially in his eyes. His face looked like it was dead, cuts and bruises all over. The heavy smell of metallic broke through the air.

If you looked closely at him you could spot the red blood dripping from his mouth with bits of food all over as if that was the aftermath of him throwing up. Upon close inspection of his neck, you could spot the remains of a bloody gauze pad and pieces of medical tape on it, which was forcefully ripped off of him. Exposing the massive chunk of missing flesh on his neck, with dark bite marks surrounding the area.

It was patient zero or otherwise known as the first infected...

However I could tell he hasn't turned yet officially, because his color of his pupils were still somewhat visible. Not fully white and because of the fact that he hasn't lunged at someone yet in the intentions of eating them, he might be dead but his consciousness was still present. That is why I hadn't made my move. Partially this was also because I was contemplating on letting go of this life that I built with everyone.

Regardless if there was an antidote for the virus right now with me. He's gone too far for us to save him, the only thing we could do for him now was to put him out of his misery. To make sure he doesn't harm anyone else, to make sure the virus doesn't spread. Once the virus takes over, there won't be anyone stopping him. Except for me or a gun... If he manages to bite someone as well, I'll have to either find an antidote or kill them before they turn.

"Ah! What is that?!" Uraraka screamed when she set her eyes on the creature.
"Holy shit! It looks like it's barely holding up!" A random guy from class-B yelled
"Someone get some help!" Mina shook me
"Oh God, I think I'm gonna be sick!"
"He looks dead!"
"He's a fucking zombie!" They weren't wrong
"We must assess the situation first!" Iida yelled and karate chop the air
"We must inform the teachers as soon as possible and bring him to recovery girl!" Kendo backed Iida up
"Shit. But it's so soon..." I whispered frustratingly
"What's so soon?" Shoto asked but I didn't reply.
