Downhill (An Eddsworld Zombie Apocalypse Au)

Spices

After an hour or two, Matt entered his make-do home again, still holding his bat. Walking through all the broken glass, eventually reaching his room, finding that Edd was still knocked out. 

"Ugh. Are you-...are you serious!" Matt yelled, annoyed that the only other human being he could find was still unconscious. He turned towards one of the mirrors, adjusting his outfit. He buttoned up his dark violet color pea coat, brushed his pumpkin orange hair, and cleaned off his goggles. Smiling, he looked into his own lavender eyes. "I'm beautiful..." He sighed to himself dreamily.

He sat down in an old chair, resting his feet on an small table, still smiling. He looked into a hand mirror he had, about to speak, but he stopped. He looked at Edd, who let out a small yawn as he got up.

Edd looked around, "What...what...happened?"

"I accidentally knocked you out because I thought you were a zombie...whoops..." Matt sighed, looking away, trying to avoid eye contact.  

"Oh...Well...At least-..." Edd stopped and looked at Matt, "Well, I'm Edd!" the short green-hoodied boy smiled. Although something seemed...odd...about Edd, Matt smiled. 

"Well, my name is-"

"Paprika!"

There was a long silence. "No...that-...that wasn't even close..." Matt's smile faded as he gave Edd a confused look. Why would his name be Paprika? Who in their right mind would name someone Paprika? "It's Matt..."

"Paprika it is!" Edd was still smiling. Matt sighed, he gave up, he could already see Edd had a few screws loose. "Whatever...So...how'd you get here?" Matt asked.

"Uh...I just was running for my life." Edd twitched as he spoke, "There were like...a million zombies after me..." 

"Oh..." Matt gave him a forced smile, giving a fake laugh too, "W-well, at least there's another human out here..."

Edd stood up and grabbed his shovel, "I'm not human." he stated, still smiling. 

"Um..." Matt was getting a bad feeling, "Yes you are, Edd."

Edd looked around the room silently, then exited to the kitchen.

"Edd?" Matt followed him, "Edd?"

Edd grabbed a knife and put it in Matt's pocket. He looked up at Matt, "I think we're gonna be friends...best friends..."

Matt wanted to run away from this insane man, so badly.
