6th December 2019.

Three Months Later.


Oliver is sat when Kara walks up behind him.


Kara: Nightmares again?

Oliver: I just wish there was something I could have done. 

Kara: You tried to stop her, she didn't listen. 

Oliver: I can't even open the later, fuck, Kara.

Oliver: I miss her, she was my friend. 

Kara: I know, I mean it sucks but, Oliver, no offense but we can't dwell on things. When Emma died, I was ready to die. I didn't have any reason to stay alive. But I knew she wouldn't want me to be sad all the time or to die, so I kept fighting. You should too.

Oliver: What about now? Do you have anything to live for?

Kara: Yeah. You, the group. 

Oliver: You're right. 

Kara: I know. Now let's get out there and kickass. 

Oliver: Right now?

Kara: Yes.

Oliver: It's dark out, everyone's in bed. 

Kara: That's why now is the best time.

Oliver: You know what, fine. Let's go.


Oliver throws on his shoes and grabs his gear and the two head out,  they spend the evening hunting for food and killing Walkers.


Oliver: In the almost four months we've known each other, we have never had a conversation about relationships.

Kara: Damn, here we go.

Oliver: So, boyfriends?

Kara: Well, before the outbreak I dated a guy named Rick. He was cool but smoked way too much weed. Then, Daryl, he had a motorcycle but I'm pretty sure he was a satanist. Carl, he was alright, but he left school after losing an eye.

Oliver: How'd he lose an eye?

Kara: Well, you know America, guns, and shit.

Oliver: Fucking hell. 

Kara: Yeah. Oh, and during the Apocalypse, there was some guy called Glenn but nothing really happened. 

Kara: How about you?

Oliver: Fuck, a long time ago now, me and Abi were together. I had a few crushes on people but nothing really happened. 

Kara: That is honestly so sad. 

Oliver: Shut up.


Oliver and Kara laugh whilst torchlight bounces off their faces.  


Kara: You and Math never?

Oliver: No, not my type.

Kara: What is your type?

Oliver: You know, it really just depends on the person. 


Oliver and Kara decide to sit on a fallen tree and talk. 


Kara: I'm glad we met, Oliver.  

Oliver: Me too. 

Kara: I mean before we met, I was, well you know. 

Kara: You've really changed my life.

Oliver: I'm really glad, Kara.


The two look at each other and smile.


Kara: Oliver, I have to tell you something?

Oliver: What is it?

Kara: Well, I..

Kara: I kinda..

Kara: Fuck it.


Kara kisses Oliver and for a moment, everything made sense. 


Oliver: So you, uh?

Kara: Yeah.

Oliver: Wow, I'm shocked.


Oliver kisses Kara back.
