Awake (Male Jill x reader)

Short Epilogue

"I just need you."
—

Slowly Julian starts to open his eyes, squinting at the light he reaches up to cover his eyes. Rubbing them as he yawns from his good night of sleep.

Glancing around he finds himself in the back of a truck. He sits up abruptly in alarm, groaning when his head hurt from the sudden movement. Squinting his eyes he looks around. Seeing no one he slowly start to get off the truck, standing on the ground frowning as he feels a lot better. Then as if all his memories come back he whips his head around looking for you.

"Look who's up." He hears and turns to see Dodge walking up to the truck with a basket.

"Where's Yn?" He asks and Dodge chuckles.

"Nice to see you, too."

"Dodge."

Dodge smiles and nod his head in a direction. Julian immediately goes for the house they seemed to have parked by. Dodge was holding a basket, from having scavenged for supplies with you inside. Julian came back to life, but just asleep, he's been sleeping in the truck for a good amount of hours while they drove. You had sit with him on your lap the whole time, stroking him and giving him comfort in his sleep. But after stopping you laid him down to help Dodge scavenge the house.

Julian runs inside the house and looks for you. He just glances outside the kitchen window when he notices someone outside in the garden greenhouse. Making his way out and toward you, he looks at you while you examine the different plants and herbs to see if any were salvageable. You found a package with seeds and put them in the bag you had. Turning around you see someone in your peripheral vision, glancing up expecting to see Dodge you freeze. Julian takes a few slow steps toward you and you turn to him.

Getting closer he grabs your face and crash his lips on yours. You kiss back and hold him close. Eventually he pulls back and lean his forehead against yours.

"I love you, Yn. Thank you for saving me. And I'm sorry, I should never have pushed you away.. twice actually, I.. I just.. I know you deserve so much better than me, but.. would you give me another chance? To start over?"

"Are you kidding me right now!?" You look at him in disbelief.

Then you sigh deeply and caress his head in a loving way, pulling some hair behind his ear.

"Stop caring about what I deserve.. care about what I want, Julian." You tell him.

He looks deeply into your eyes, seeing the love and adoration you feel for him.

"I want you.. I just need you, Julian."
