any zombie au i would write with simon would be like. he rocks up to the settlement that ur staying at and you do Not like him
he's off-putting, he has weird flat eyes that look right through you, he's massive and it keeps kicking some deep-buried prey mindset you have into first gear
but he's able to do the work of two men easily enough. an arsehole, yeah, but he's willing to go further out than most and all he wants in exchange is one of the houses to get out of the rain
maybe other people have an issue with the way he looks and speaks, but he's useful enough that they don't say it too loud
you don't know how to voice that you don't like the way that he stares over at you, how he barks at you to get back if you ever do find yourself in the same group - takes the lead into any unexplored buildings and treats you like a nuisance
he firmly tells you that you won't be going back out if he's not there and lets you bitch all you want but you find that no one will let you leave if he's not there
the settlement setup seems to be working for now, so he's letting it be, but god help you when he decides everyone is interfering too much with the two of you or he decides you guys are better off making your own way
he'll be off in the middle of the night and you'll be coming with him - and you're not exactly asked for your opinion on the matter
