I Lived, Nerd【Katsuki Bakugou x Reader || Zombie Apocalypse AU】

【9】Denki Mode: ON

We all set camp in a laundromat since the Nomu hadn't been in there for whatever reason. We put sheets we found in some random dryer over the windows so the Nomu couldn't see us. I curled up to my Hello Kitty blanket and drifted off to sleep.

The next day, I woke up to the hissing sound of a busted pipe. I didn't think anything of it because I had a loser mom that didn't teach me anything. So, I went over to Katsuki and tried to shake him awake—but he wouldn't wake up.

I guess he's just exhausted, I figured. So, I tried again, but to no avail. I then started to freak out. I had always fantasized about Katsuki in health class, so I had no idea how to tell if he was dead or alive! I scooped him up in my arms and started sobbing.

"Katsuki?" I repeatedly uttered in horrible voice acting. Each time I said his name, my voice got more choked up and higher pitched until I started to shrill like Mariah Carrey on helium. I cradled him in my arms and screeched to the ceiling, "AAAAAAAGH!!! NO, THIS ISN'T HAPPENING! THERE'S NO REASON FOR ME TO GO ON! WHAT—WHAT AM I FIGHTING FORRRRR!?!?!?"

"Has. . .Kacchan died!?" Deku shrieked. "But—but we were best friends!! Oh, the horror!!!"

"Did all the anger finally give him a heart attack?" Mirio wondered aloud.

I held my unconscious boyfriend close and wept into his hair. Around that time, Tenya approached us and knelt down to see what the problem was. He took Katsuki's wrist and felt for his pulse.

With a sigh of relief, he answered, "He's still alive. But his pulse is slow. I think he needs mouth-to-mouth recitation."

I flung Tenya ten feet away from us and barked, "If anyone's giving my boyfriend mouth-to-mouth—it's me!!"

"Spoken by the girl who flunked health class," Tenya condescended. "We need someone properly trained and certified in the art of CPR!"

He was right. True love's kiss worked for poison apples—but CPR worked for someone unconscious or dying.

"Isn't CPR for people whose hearts have stopped beating?" wondered Deku.

"Nonsense. I've seen the Dwayne Johnson action movies several times!" Tenya gloated. "Those are accurate enough!"

So, Tenya pinched Katsuki's nose and prepared to do CPR, but as he leaned closer to his mouth to breathe life into him—Katsuki punched him in the face before anything happened.

"Katsuki!!!" I pulled him into a secure embrace. "What happened? What's the last thing you remember?"

"Huhhh? Got cold, turned on a dryer, opened the door, and slept with my head in it all night. . ." he sounded like he sniffed too many Sharpies. I held Katsuki by the hand as he pointed to Mirio's floral skinny jeans and muttered, "Pretty flowers~"

"What kind of mushrooms were on your pizza?" Deku wondered.

I thought, Oh, dear. He's gone Denki on me. I can't lose the only sane person in this world full of crazies!!

"Why are you acting so out of it!?" I panicked.

All Katsuki could say as he looked into my eyes with a Deku grin on his face was, "You're purty. Wanna be my girlfriend?"

It was then that I realized I was in this for better or worse, sickness and in health. I was probably the only sane one left. So, I screamed, "IT'S A GEEK PARTY!!!

Tenya heard a faint hissing noise and turned to the dryer, just to see a busted pipe. "Guys! I think there's a gas leak! Maybe that's why Bakugou is acting so loopy."
