A/N: Hallouw! I'm sorry, but this first chapter shall be quite short, it's sort of here just so that I can get into the story, and you guys too! But anyways, this is my first BoyxBoy fanfiction, so please bear with me. And thank you so much for reading! xoxo
They all sat there - under the drenched and slightly damaged plaid - waiting for the brain-dead idiots to pass by. Liam had tried to calm Niall down by whispering lullabies into his ear, with Zayn humming in the background. Harry had been so worried over Louis - who was supposed to grab some ammo in the shed nearby - that the only thing he had been able to do was to sit in fetal position and trying not to run after him.
“Guys! The shed was surrounded by zombies, I was unsure if I would even be able to get out without firing the shot-gun once or twice.” Louis laughed as he attacked Harry from behind with a hug. The bond between the two of them had grown so strong over the past weeks that they could barely go twenty minutes without each other. And they knew God damn well that that was extremely dangerous in the situation the five of them were in. And of course Liam and Niall were closer than ever too, but since they were so close before the whole infection started spreading, you barely noticed any difference.
Harry’s arms flew around Louis as he started holding him tight. “For goodness sake, Louis, I thought you were dead!” He cried out into his chest; tears filling his lungs.
“Ha! It will take a lot more than some living dead idiots to kill me.” He grinned at the devastated boy in his arms, knowing that it wasn’t true what he had just told his best friend. Liam threw a glance at Louis before hushing him and pointing towards the lake nearby, where there was a lost zombie walking around completely lost.
You could tell that it had obviously caught on that there was something worth eating nearby. Louis immediately became completely serious as his arms tightened their hold around Harry.
“If it comes close to you, I’ll blow its fucking head off.” He whispered through his gritted teeth and screwed his eyes shot as the zombie came closer.
Niall started to tremble in Liam- and Zayn’s embrace. “I don’t want to die.” He stuttered as he hopped a little bit closer to Liam. As Niall’s eyes started to tear up, the smell of rotten skin became stronger and Louis’ hands made their way towards the loaded shotgun.
“Aint’ anyone gon’ die on my watch.” He said as he stood up and aimed the gun on the zombie. Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger and suddenly a head just blew off. Blood was scattered everywhere. Louis walked over to the living dead’s now dead body and fired and extra time to be sure that it wouldn’t try to harm his precious Harry – or any of the others.
Niall let out a deep breath – and by the sound of it, he had probably been holding it in for quite a while - and buried his head into Zayn’s chest.
“It’ll be alright, Ni. We’ll survive all of this, we’ll find the cure, and we will re-build earth from scratch.” Zayn tried to calm him. All of them knew none of those things would ever happen, but those were the things they liked to tell themselves when everything seemed hopeless.
“I-I will have a house by the beach.” Niall cried out and started thinking about what he would be doing right now if the apocalypse never would have broken out.
“You will have a great house by the beach.” Liam reassured him.
“And I will marry someone great.” Niall mumbled and placed his head in the crook of Zayn’s neck, the smell of the cologne Zayn still used - as something to keep him on the ground and as a memory of how it used to be – sort of made him relax. It was the only thing that still smelled fresh.
Louis took Harry’s hand and helped him up. “We need to leave and find shelter for the night.” He said and started looking for a path that led out of the forest. His eyes landed on a thin trail of flattened grass, a clear sign that a group of people with brains had recently walked across the woods. Louis pointed with his index finger and grabbed Harry’s shoulder. “Survivors.” He said and started following the tracks. The rest of the boys snapped their heads towards Louis and started following.
“Louis, what if they’re not kind… What if they try to kill us?” Harry asked worriedly; his hands shaking as he grabbed Louis’.
“Then we’ll just have to kill them first.” Louis smiled at him and kissed his temple. “As I said, nothing will be able to harm you as long as I’m here.” Harry’s grip around Louis’ hand tightened as his eyes went teary. “No, no, no, babe. Don’t cry.” He whispered and wiped away the younger boy’s tears. “Everything will be alright.” He giggled at how unnecessarily worried Harry was acting.
“Alright, could we hurry up a little? Niall’s starting to freak out.” Liam said and Louis watched as Niall was hiding his face in the security of Zayn’s neck.
“Yeah, let’s go.” Louis said with a nod and started to follow the small path through the forest.
