Imagine #20 Louis x Reader

Requested by @tomiioka

(Spoilers.....duh)

Okay dudes just a warning, I am literally crying as i write this so be warned that this is an emotional one. I also listened to Hold On by Chord Overstreet while writing this (which is the song featured in this chapter), so if you want more emotion, I suggest listening to it.

I threw all my weight into the swing of my ax, slicing the walker's head clean off. The blood sprayed across my face but I didn't care anymore. We had to get back to Ericson's before nightfall. Louis and I had gone past the safe zone and we were paying for it. I looked to my left and saw Louis fighting off a few walkers. I saw him fall to the ground and try to fight a walker off of him. I ran as fast as I could to him and with a swift kick and a swing of my ax, the walker was dead. We quickly killed the other two and began to run.

"We're almost there y/n, we can make it!" Louis exclaimed as the gates of Ericson came into our sight. We bolted through the woods and bashed the gates open. I quickly closed the gates behind us and finally took in a deep breath. We were finally safe, we were safe.

I turned around to smile at Louis, but immediately stopped when I saw the look at concern on his face. He lifted up his pant leg and I covered my mouth to stop my scream. On  his ankle was a large bite mark. My heart shattered into a million pieces. He dropped to his knees and I saw a few tears slide down his cheeks.

Louis was going to die.

~~~~~

I sat with Louis at the piano and held his hand. His hand was hot to touch but at this point I didn't care. I looked at him and his skin was already starting to become paler, and he refused to try cutting off his leg because of the rate the symptoms were coming at. He took his jacket off and wrapped me up in it because it was starting to get cold and he was sweating profusely. 

"Y/n, I need you to promise me two things okay?" He looked at me with a glimmer of hope in his eyes. I looked back at him and nodded.

"One, I need you to promise that after I'm gone, you won't let me turn, I know it's a big responsibility but I want you to do it, Romeo and Juliet kinda thing, except Juliet doesn't die." He laughed before coughing. 

"I promise." I told him with tears welling up in my eyes.

"Lastly, I want you to promise that when I am gone, you'll continue to survive. When the walkers disappear, this world is gonna need a leader like you to restore this world and remake it in your vision." He told me and gripped my hand tighter.

"I will, I promise." I told him again.

Louis smiled before slowly standing up. He stumbled over to the piano bench and sat down.

"One last time?" He questioned, with the smile still shining on his face.

I nodded and wiped away my tears before joining him in smiling. I sat down beside him as he started to play our song. It was slow and melodic, which made me love the bittersweetness of it all even more.

"Loving and fighting, accusing denying, I can't imagine a world with you gone." I sang.

"The joy and the chaos, the demons we're made of, I'd be so lost if you left me alone." He sang back.

We continued singing back and forth and I continued to let the tears fall down my face. At some point during the song I realized how much Louis truly meant to me. Of course it would come in the time that I was going to lose him forever. 

"Hold on I still want you." He sang.

"Come back I still need you." My voice cracked.

After the song was done he enveloped me in a deep hug. I imprinted his warmth and touch into my brain, I never wanted to let him go. I looked up at him as he looked down at me. I reached up slowly until my lips met his. The kiss was soft and sweet.....just like him.

"I love you y/n." He told me.

"I love you too Louis." 

He went into a coughing fit and fell onto the floor. I sat down beside him and smiled at him when he stopped. His hand tenderly touched my cheek and I held it there.

"I'll see you in the next life my love." He told me and I nodded.

Louis' eyes slowly drifted shut and soon I felt his hand go limp. I let the last of my tears fall and then slowly let his hand drop down. I looked up at the piano and saw my gun resting on top of it.....
