A/N: two birds by Regina Spektor just really reminded me of Poe so here's a short fic I made about it<3
Warning: death mention and angst<3
Y/N has been best friends with the literary genius himself for years. Both would often stay up all night discussing plans about LA and their future there together. It was as if their dreams came true when they both finished college, finally renting a car and even a few new faces decided to tag along!
Say that they're always gonna stay together
Unfortunately both their plans to LA was rudely interrupted by zombies. After all the hardships they went through, of losing both Howie and Tess, they both made it to a hotel to rest. The Las Vegas skies are beautiful at night, it almost makes you feel as if you'll make it out alright...almost.
"Poe" I began, he raised an eyebrow expectantly "yes?" "Promise me, we'll both get out of here together...and then we'll go to LA, alright?" I raised my pinkie , finally facing him. He smiles before bringing his own to intertwine yours
But one's never going to let go of that wire
Douglas somehow is back, and he definitely wants revenge. Although hesitant, Poe was ultimately able to convince them to go down first. Y/N looks towards the clock before looking back at the elevator door, hoping to see Poe again soon. "Y/N! Miss me?" Poe grins, walking out the door and catching up them. He tries his best to look happy, knowing this might be the last time they see him smile, or see him...ever.
"we're right on time" i look at the clock before looking back at Poe. He smiles and nods his head towards the door "let's get out of here then". I immediately ran out, Poe walking slowly behind me
I stretched and sighed in relief, the nightmare is finally over. I looked towards my side, beaming happily at the man beside me...well the man who's supposed to be beside me.
One tries to fly away and the other...
"Poe?" I hesitated to look behind me, not wanting to face the truth. And so I kept my back turned, tears staining my face
