This is a cheesy fanfic for the Lethal Event by djstandsfordeadjockey... It takes place after the comics I drew....
It's been hours, possibly days since Eden and Kruller hid in his office. "H-how long do you think we'll have to stay in here?" Eden asked with a hint of shakiness in her voice. Kruller looked at her, his eyes a mix of fear and sadness, though it was hard to see it through his aviator sunglasses. "I'm not sure... Hopefully not much longer..." He was silent for a moment, listening for sounds. "It's been quiet for a while now. I should check to see if anyone needs help..." His voice quivered, and Eden knew he was terrified, seeing right through the brave act. As he rose from his position, Eden grabbed his arm. "W-wait! What if you get infected too?!? Krulls, I don't know what I'd do without you..." Tears were forming in the corners of her purple eyes.
Kruller immediately floated back down beside her, trying to comfort her. "Hey... Hey, sweetheart... It'll be okay, no crying, alright?" He takes her hands, looking into her eyes. "I promise I'll be back... I'm just going to look around the shops for a sec. If I see anything dangerous, I'm out of there!" He looked to the side sheepishly, "I mean, you know me, right? Afraid of my own shadow sometimes, heh heh..." At that, she was able to stop the tears from falling, giggling a bit. "Yeah, but you're MY big scaredy baby..." She said, blushing. "And you're MY little donut! With sprinkles!" Kruller responded, blushing equally as hard.
"Just, please come back quickly... And be careful..." He nodded, letting go of her hands and floating towards the door. "I'll be back in a jif!" And with that, he crept out the door, flashlight in hand.
A few tense minutes passed, and suddenly a loud shout of "OH SWEET MERCY!" rang out, making Eden jump in alarm. She was juuuuust about to go out the door to check on him, when he burst through the door, panting. "K-Kruller, WHAT HAPPENED?!" She practically screamed. He tried to regain his composure, taking a few steadying breaths. "Just...Just got scared by a mouse in the vending machine..." He managed to get out through heavy breaths. Eden paused, a blank stare on her face... Then laughter ensued.
"Pfff-You-you made me think something horrible happened!" She got out through giggles. "S-sorry for laughing..." She nervously looked away, covering her smiling face. Finally recovering, Kruller put on a mock-offended tone to his voice, "Hey! That mouse was like, the size of a car!" He said, pretending to pout. Eden floated over to him, hugging him and breathing a sigh of relief. "I'm just glad you're okay..." He returned the hug "Me too..." He mumbled under his breath. Pulling away, he said "I didn't see anyone else on this floor... Either everyone has our idea, or..." He gulped at this, "...They've been infected..." Eden looked nervous at this as well. A silence fell over the two of them. They both floated back toward their hiding place, hands clasped together. They were prepared to wait this out for as long as they needed.
