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

【11】Dating In The Apocalypse

Welp with the coronavirus going on, I guess the apocalypse really is happening irl

~~~

"Wow, Katsuki. Your house is nice!" I complimented. "I can't wait to see your room—if that's okay."

"Sure, cuz I probably can't stop you from doing it anyway."

He led me upstairs and stopped at a door with several warning signs hung on it. They said things like: "Enter at your own risk", "Go away", and "Risk of explosions". I couldn't tell if they were being serious or not.

When Katsuki opened the door—I was speechless at what his bedroom looked like. The walls were painted black, screamo band posters were hung on the ceiling, a picture of Deku and Mitsuki had darts in them—but the strangest thing he had was a chair in the shape of a hand and a pirate ship bed.

"Uhh. . .why does your bed look like a pirate ship?" I asked.

"Cuz my stupid parents never got me a new one."

"Can you even fit in it?"

"I don't sleep in it—I sleep on the futon in my closet."

"Uhh. . .why the closet?"

"I didn't know there was gonna be a pop quiz!"

I sat down in the hand chair and looked at his collection of Garbage Pail Kids cards which were plastered all over his bed. I only shook my head. Katsuki got bored quickly and started throwing darts at Deku's photograph on the wall.

"Katsuki, what are gonna do after all this is over?"

"Dunno, babe." He then threw another dart. "But whatever we do, we do it."

I then looked down and felt my heart race. "But what if something happens to you? I played this one game called My Time At Portia and it gave me trust issues cuz like, this one chick died in it."

"Then play Call of Duty. Everyone dies in that one and nobody cares."

"Katsuki, I'm trying to talk to you! Can't you be serious for one minute?"

Slowly, he put the darts down, walked over to the pirate ship bed, and sat crisscross applesauce.

"Thank you," I said.

"What's the scoop?"

"I just don't know how we can get through this! There's nowhere to live around here and I don't know how we can even get rid the Nomu," I confessed.

He slowly walked over to the hand chair as I was talking and placed his finger on my lips to interrupt me. "Shhhhh. You hear that? It's the winds of change." He then sat down beside me. "Listen, babe. I can't predict the future. Nobody can. But I can promise you that I will give my last dying breath on this earth to protect you. I don't plan on trying to get rid of all the Nomu—I plan on getting us out of here to find somewhere safe to start over. And any of our friends that wanna tag along can come with, but my mission is to save you, not those hosers."

I smiled and leaned my head against his shoulder.

"We're in this for life," he told me.

I screamed inside. What did he mean by that? MARRIAGE!?!? Or did he mean it in a Girl Meets World kind of way? I knew better not to ask any questions. Katsuki would elaborate in his own time in his own way. In the meantime, I was content knowing I was loved during this time of hardship.

"Katsuki! I have an idea!"

"What?"

"We should go on a date!"
