An Emotionally Taxing Week With The Professor

(DISCLAIMER: This is kind of an 'the outbreak happens but then everyone returns to normal and keeps living their normal lives, except they all have collective trauma' AU, so, yeah.)

The man was fine on his own. He could handle himself. He's a grown man, for crying out loud. At least, this is what he thought before Emma Perkins came into his life. He's not sure how he functioned without her. Which is what makes this all the more scary. As it turns out, he's not the only one who feels this way.

Paul Matthews makes a friend of someone he never expected to, as he and Henry Hidgens try to function normally without Emma for a week.
