Robbie the Zombie X Reader: The Rose Series
White Roses: Purity, Innocence, silence, secrecy, Heavenly
It was a nice quiet afternoon, the sun was shining and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky as Robbie sat behind the “Septic house”. He liked the feeling of the sun on his skin, it made him actually feel some warmth even though he didn’t produce his own body heat, he turned his face to the sun and closed his eyes. He probably would’ve fallen asleep had he not felt something small and soft rubbing on his hand. Slowly, his eyes opened, and he looked down to see a small brown and white bunny sniffing at him.
“He… Hello… Friend.” He spoke, carefully moving his hand so the bunny could sniff him better which it seemed to do happily. “How’d… You get… Here?” He questioned, tilting his head to the side as it quickly hopped away from him, had he done something wrong?
“Sorry, didn’t mean to scare your friend there.” [Y/N]’s voice came from behind the zombie and he turned his body to look at them before turning back to the bunny.
“It’s… Okay. [Y/N] is… A friend.” He told the bunny, which hopped closer to him and began to sniff again as [Y/N] sat down next to him.
“Seriously dude, are you like an animal whisperer or something? The only way a small bun like that could even think of approaching me would be if I was asleep or something.” They said, watching him with a smile, it was always so cute to watch how he interacted with animals. No matter what it was, any animal would just instantly warm up to the zombie.
“I… Dunno.” He said with a shrug, moving to run his fingers over the bunny’s soft fur and it didn’t seem to mind.
“I brought you something.” [Y/N] spoke after the two had a moment of silence, that brought the zombie’s white eyes over to them, finally taking notice of the small bundle of white roses that they were holding.
“Those are… For me?” He questioned, watching them nod and hand them to him. The bunny tried to hop even closer to Robbie, seeming mad that he wasn’t paying attention to it anymore as he began to sniff the flowers. “They’re… Pretty and… Smell nice.” He spoke with a smile, offering them for the bunny to sniff as well. [Y/N] couldn’t help but laugh as the bunny took a nibble from one of the roses, watching Robbie rip them away from the small creature and startling it. “No!... Not… For food!” He tried to scold it, frowning till he felt a hand on his shoulder.
“It’s okay Robbie.” They spoke softly to calm him down. “Bunnies love eating flowers and it’s still a young one. It doesn’t know any better yet that it shouldn’t eat special ones, the fact that they tried to eat one probably means that they liked them just as much as you!”
“Oh… Sorry Bun…” Robbie said, though holding the roses closer to his chest now to keep it away from the bunny. “Thank you… [Y/N]… For these…” He spoke, smiling as he looked down at them.
“The color made me think of your eyes.” They said, earning a small laugh from the zombie. “But they also symbolize innocence and being heavenly.” They explained as he began to inspect the flowers more.
“I’m… Heavenly?” He questioned looking over at them with wide eyes, he’d heard himself be called innocent by his brothers many times, not to mention the community often called him that as well. But heavenly was a new one, and if he had the ability to blush, he probably would be at the moment.
“Yeah, of course you are!” [Y/N] said happily, as Robbie once again looked at the roses and this time smiled to himself. “I think the bunny agrees with me.” They laughed as the small bunny put its front paws on his leg and twitched its nose.
“Yeah… You’re… More important… Though.” As he spoke he kept his eyes on the bunny, once again he felt that if he could blush he would be. “I’m… Happy that… You think… That.”
After that there was silence, the two just enjoying each other’s presence as Robbie tried to keep the bunny away from the flowers and [Y/N] leaned their head on his shoulder. This was nice, he liked spending time like this, especially when it was with [Y/N]. They were always so nice to him, being around them almost made him feel like he was a normal person and not a zombie. But… He was a zombie and having sat in the same place for too long his legs were starting to grow stiff.
“[Y/N]…”
“Yeah?”
“Could we… Go inside…? Maybe put… Flowers… In water?” He asked as they lifted their head and looked back to the house.
“Yeah, we can go back in.” They said before standing up and brushing their pants off, stopping themselves as they noticed that Robbie hadn’t gotten up yet. “Need some help?” They asked and he nodded, feeling slightly embarrassed about it. So much for feeling normal. The offered him their hand and he happily took it and let them pull him up, careful not to rip the stitches that were keeping the arm on, Henrik would have their head if they did. “There ya go! Your legs aren’t hurting you too bad, are they?”
“No… I’m okay… Thank you…” Robbie said, keeping the flowers close to him still. “For… These too…” He added, motioning to the roses.
“Anytime Robbie. If you want, I can show you how to preserve them a little later.” They offered and he nodded, he just wanted to keep them alive for now.
“You’re… The best.” He smiled as they began walking back to the house, having said goodbye to his new bunny friend.
“As are you.” They said, moving quick to plant a small kiss on his cheek… Maybe he should be glad that he didn’t have the ability to blush, he’d probably be as red as Jackieboyman’s suit if he did.

Some love for the zomboi! Of course there were obvious reasons for picking white roses for the reader to give to Robbie, but I also liked the idea of someone telling him that they thought he was “heavenly”. I had fun writing this one and hope you all enjoyed reading it! I accept any and all feed back. Thank you for reading!
