Lucas x reader zombie apocalypse auÂ
a/n - Happy birthday to me and all of my lil libra bbyâs out there <3
Warning - forehead wound/bruise, awful chat up lines and teeth rotting fluff.
You met Lucas in the early days of the outbreak when you were looting and youâd stuck together since. Your companionship was strictly platonic until one night you went to him crying about how youâd never get to experience anything a person would in their life before the world went to shit; dating, jobs, marriage, having a family etc etc. Honestly, he didnât know what to tell you apart from the fact that he wanted to know what your lips tasted like so naturally, one thing led to another and youâd ended up bagging your first boyfriend at the beginning of the end. Congrats.Â
That was all fine and well until Lucas stopped allowing you to do little jobs and clear outs of any houses you came across just in case things were to go south and you hated that felt like you were pulling your weight less and less but Lucas wasnât willing to take any chances. This refusal to put you in harms way got to the extent of him coming back from foraging with a gash in his eyebrow and a large bruise settling onto his cheekbone after being ambushed.Â
You ran to him âWhat the fuck happened?âÂ
Lucas smiled holding a bag of goods âTold you Iâd provideâÂ
You swatted his arm out of your face âI couldnât care less about that, I care much more about you and the fact youâre bleeding, this wouldnât have happened if youâd let me come with you?âÂ
He huffed âOut of the question, Iâm not risking putting you in danger.âÂ
That was enough to set off the quiet rage that had been brewing over the past week â And I canât keep watching you put yourself in these dangerous situations for the both of us when Iâm giving you nothing in return!âÂ
He smirked, dragging his thumb across his lip to wipe away some dried blood while staring at you âYou give me your loooveâ
This only infuriated you more âLucas this isnât funny! Yes you might be thinking youâre doing me a favour by keeping safe by not letting me go but how do you think I would feel if you left and just never came back?â You tried to swallow the lump in your throat to no avail.Â
Your voice wavered âWhat if anything happened to you? Iâd never be able to forgive myself because if I wasnât there, I love you but you have to think of what I want too, I want to keep you safe just as much as you want to protect me. So please, let me do my partâÂ
Lucas stepped closer, realising the full extent of your upset and realising how selfish heâd been in his thinking. He engulfed you in a hug, arms securely around your waist and face pressed against your neck, his voice vibrating off it when he spoke âIâm sorry, I got caught up in worrying over you without thinking of how you would feel. I promise anywhere I go youâll come with.â He brought his face away from your neck to press a small kiss to the place he was leaning against moments ago âI love you.âÂ
âAnd I love you stupid now let me clean up your faceâ you huffed, wiping the tears from your cheeks.Â
â Will you kiss it all better for me baby?â He grinned, lifting his eyebrows suggestively.Â
âNo but I can do a magic trick involving my boot and your assâÂ
