☆ achromatopsia ── @/give-me-moose I F
On Asgard, to be born without color sight meant that the child had a soulmate they would one day meet. On Earth, to be born completely colorblind was considered a medical anomaly. It was called achromatopsia. (ao3)
☆ anywhere and nowhere ── @/anonymous I F
During the peak of Odin and Hela's terror, your parents were a particularly annoying pair of Vanir rebels, unwilling to give in to their rule. When they were... disposed of, Odin got hold of you and banished you to an island, far away from anywhere you'd been before in your short life. You're stuck there, so as not to be a hassle for the Allfather, and over the centuries, a pattern emerges. An injured man arrives. You heal him. You fall in love. He stays. He leaves. It feels like a particularly cruel trick on Odin's part when the latest one to arrive is his own son, barely alive due to his should-be fatal neck injury. Will this one be just like the others, or is the God of Lies actually telling the truth when he claims he can get you out of here? (ao3)
☆ one last time ── @/littlediable I A + S

☆ this heart is a fragile thing ── @/the_mad_lost_girl I A + F + S

On his way to his death his salvation arrives, but it is not his brother or mother come to plead for his life. His savior is a young woman from the village that does not look as if she has two copper pieces to rub together. But she does have a proposal that may save his life. A marriage proposal. By the laws of Asgard this act absolves him of his crimes…so long as he remains married. (ao3)

synopsis. it was the night before nanami kento left for shibuya, you can't shake the feeling that he's saying goodbye.
You laid in bed, your head pressed against Kento's chest, listening to the strong heartbeat of his heart.
"Sweetheart, I love you," Kento whispers, his hands brushing your hair gently. His arm served as a pillow.
"I love you too, Kento, with all my heart." You replied back.
Kento stays silent, the brush of his fingers against your hair was consistent. His breathing was silent. You wish you could stay like this forever, cuddled in his warmth, his arms wrapped around you.
He pulls you to his chest and places a gentle kiss on your forehead.
"Look at me." He says quietly, placing a finger on your chin, making you look into his eyes.
His orbs were unreadable. Many thoughts swirling behind them but they remained the same, looking at you like you were the air that he breathed, touching and looking at you gently like you were made of expensive porcelain that he was careful not to break.
"Hmm?"
He smiles at you, his thumb caressing the side of your face. Memorizing every detail, even the smallest and unnoticeable parts of you.
"I want know that every beat of my heart sings your name. I would never not think about you or not love you, even until my last breath." He says quietly.
This was not random or uncommon for Kento to say deep meaningful words to you. But it had struck you differently this time, it rendered you speechless. It was like he was saying goodbye.
"Every time I look into your eyes, my soul finds solace in a love that words fail to articulate, being here with you feels like home," He takes a deep breath, smiling down at you.
"Kento, what is this? Is everything alright?" You ask, a worried edge to your tone. You catch the slight grief and sadness in his words.
He shook his head, still smiling gently at you.
"If I return in this mission to Shibuya..." He starts.
It hits you, Shibuya. Yuuji Itadori, the student he considers as his child, Sukuna's vessel. You get pulled back into the reality outside of his embrace.
"Marry me."
You froze up, your eyes widened. It wasn't a question, Kento chuckled. A playful smile on his lips.
"I would get down on one knee at a better time, keep your answer until I do." He smiles at you.
You nod wordlessly.
Tears well up in your eyes as you tried to contain them. You felt the dull ache of your throat, as you choked back your tears of happiness.
A tear escaped from your eyes.
He wipes it gently.
"And when we do, we'll travel the world. Read books with you, enjoy life with you, and spend the rest of my days with you."
He added.
"After this, I'll quit my job. Will you agree to adopting Yuuji?"
He asks, looking at you for permission.
You loved the kid as much as he loved him. You knew Yuuji would love to have a family to take care of him, you adored the kid.
"I would, he's a nice kid. He deserves the world."
Kento smiles at you. The evening continued with soft conversations, whispered i love you's, playful banter until the both of you can't talk anymore.
Kento waited until you were asleep, watching you quietly with a contented smile on his lips.
"Wait for me." He whispered in the cold air of the night.
Little did the both of you know, he wouldn't come back. The plane tickets to Malaysia would rot in a compartment of the bedside table. His ties would land untouched in the wardrobe, his suits would hang, waiting for Kento to wear them again.
His pile of unread books would never decrease in amount nor increase in the pile, his dream vacations would not be crossed out, his bucketlist would not be fulfilled.
The ring he bought you would forever lay hidden in the place only he would know.
You would never get to wear it.
You would never get married to the love of your life.
You would never see him with Yuuji again.
You would never see him watch your children be a mix of his and your personalities and looks.
You can all thank @rottencoreflesh101 for this fic. After she deliver the most swoon worthy fanart to ever grace my eyes. This will have multiipe parts, longer and better. I will never stop simping for that picture. Also, just be warned, heavy smut at the end.
Your welcome~
.
.
Today was tuesday…. No wednesday. What day was it?
You took out your notepad, yeah, today was a tuesday. Did you need to scavenge for anything? Let's see, you have some canned goods and freshwater. You had your sanitary items and some medication. Could do with more pain killers though.
Traveling has never been easy, thank god you were able to find those combat boots, now your ankles have less chances of being twisted or sprain. Looking up at the sky, the sun was setting and darkness was approaching. Best to spend the night somewhere safe. You were out in the forest, in the middle of nowhere. A tree would do!
You climbed up a tree and set up a hammock you picked up and some tarpaulin over your hammock, to keep any possible rain from getting you wet. Once you were settled, you reached into your bag and pulled out a protein bar. Food was rare nowadays, with everything either being looted or gone off.
But that's fine, you could live like this.
At least you were safe
“Hey! Who’s up there?!” You froze. A voice. A long time has it been since you heard another person’s voice. You heard the shuffling of footsteps and the sounds of guns being clocked. You began to sweat under your many layers of clothes as anxiety and fear filled your body.
“We’re gonna give you the count of ten to get your ass down here or we’re gonna riddle you with bullets!” Shouted the male voice. This was why you haven’t heard other voices in ages, because those voices could belong to people who want you dead.
“TEN!”
You shuffled out of your hiding spot and quickly descended the tree, holding your hands up. It was a group of men, all heavily armed as they stared down at you with malice. “Where’s your shit?! Tell us now!” The head dog barked as another one kicked the back of your knees, making you fall to the ground.
“It's up in my hammock! Please, just take what you want!” You cried, this was it, they were gonna kill you, right here and now.
“Wait a minute, you’re a girl!” One of them stated before ripping your scarf away from your face, revealing your feminine features. Your hair which you used to keep short was no in a long tight braid since you lost your scissors years ago. It was really hard to come across another pair.
“Holy fuck!”
“I can’t believe this, are you seeing this?”
The leader squatted down and leaned his rifle on his shoulder. “Well, Well, Well, Look what we have here boys, a pretty little lady~ Forgive me for being so rude, tell me your name sweet cheeks.”
You had too many tears running down your face, you were scared, so scared. You didn’t want to know what they had planned for you, now that they knew of your gender. But you had lived this long, you’d do anything to survive.
“M-My name is (Y/n)....! Please… I’ll do anything! Just don’t kill me!” You wailed, hoping for mercy.
“WOOO! You heard that boys?! She said anything~”
You heard the men around you howling and whistling. You felt so dehumanized, in that moment, none of the men saw you as a human, a fellow survivor, just a piece of meat. “Well, (Y/n), as you know, humans are dying out quickly~, we need to- heh, ‘repopulate’.” The leader chuckled.
“Man… it's been so long since I’ve gotten my dick wet.”
“I wonder what she tastes like~”
“I bet she’s never had a taste of dick before.”
The leader chuckled at their comments while you just shivered. “Yeah, that's right, let me ask you something sweet heart, how old are you~?”
“I-I’m eight- eighteen..!” You sobbed, making more of the men howl. “Oh shit! You were only ten when this shit started then, huh? Well don’t worry sweetheart, we’re gonna look after you now. How about you thank us by..ugh..hehe.. Spread those legs for us…Just to taste the goods.”
You didn’t have much choice when you were forced onto your back, the men surrounded you from all angles and began to fondle you. Your breasts, your hips, your face, all unfree from their touch. “NO! No please! Not like this! Not like this!” You screamed as the men continued to laugh.
“You said we could do anything! Now don’t hold out on us!” They taunted, your jeans were pulled down to your knees and the leader began to undo his belt. “NO! Someone help! Help me please!” You cried.
“Someone shut her up!” The leader roared, a piece of cloth being tied around your mouth.
“Now love, Take my dick like a good girl-.....” He stopped his sentence to look over at something behind you. All of his team members looked in the direction he was facing. You tilted your head to look at what they were seeing.
A zombie.
Or… what you thought was a zombie.
He was large, maybe 6ft? You weren’t sure. He had muscles covering his body, as could be seen from his cargo pants and black shirt. His claws were sharp and his teeth were canine like, ripe for tearing into someone. He had a normal set of eyes and a flurry of eyes covering the right side of his body, no skin at all on his right arm. The abnormal eyes glowed a malicious orange and bruised dead veins covering his left.
He had long choppy hair tied up in a ponytail and those eyes of his, a soft lavender color that could trick you into thinking he was human if it weren’t for the dead veins around his eyes.
He wasn’t like any Zombie you had seen before, most were decade to the point of no return. He was like an eldritch monster from the books you’ve read.
“OPEN FIRE!” The leader screamed, standing up and pointing his gun at the zombie. The group all followed his lead and fired at the zombie. You curled into yourself and covered your ears, hoping for the fire to end. Once you heard them halt their actions, you looked up and saw the zombie.
It was still standing, its body covered in holes before he started to heal, and he healed quickly. Like one of those horror movies you saw from behind the living room door when your mom and dad would watch t.v., You were petrified.
“WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!? KILL IT!” The leader screamed. The first guy ran up to it with a knife but the thing headbutted him and snatched out his throat. He fell to the ground, choking on his own blood. The second and third guy tried to team up on it, blow its head off, but the creature had managed to grab them and slammed their heads into the ground, you felt flesh and blood splatter onto your face.
The leader and two other men turned tails and ran away. You watched the creature run after them and all you could do was lie there, frozen. With your jeans and underwear pulled down and the cold air hit your private areas. You wanted to cover yourself, but you had been so traumatized by what happened.
You couldn’t lift a finger, you felt frozen in place. Not only because you had nearly been gangraped but a zombie-like creature had torn three of those men to shreds. You were so scared. Even as the screams became distant, you knew those men wouldn’t escape. The sounds of gunshots and screams echoed in the forest.
“NO! PLEASE! I DON’T WANNA DIE! I DON’T WANNA DIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!” You heard the leader scream as he was suddenly cut off.
Even then, you couldn’t move, even as the creature came back, its body covered head to toe in blood. It stared down at you, it was going to kill you. It reeled its fist back and you closed your eyes.
The thing hit you in the head and you were dead.

“(Y/n)! (Y/n)! Wake up now!” You heard your dad whisper loudly, shaking you from your sleep.
“What is it daddy…?” You yawned as he pulled you out of bed and went through your wardrobe. “Come on! Get dressed! We have to go!” He said quietly. You heard the sounds of sirens and screams from a distance outside.
You looked out the window, you could see fires start from beyond the line of houses in front of yours. You didn’t understand what was going on, being so young, danger didn’t seem real in your mind. Your father grabbed your clothes and started stripping you of your pajamas.
“Dad! I can do it myself!” You said, yelled, not liking your father manhandling you. It woke you up as you’ve never seen your dad look so worried before. “Hurry up, quickly!” he urged, grabbing your school bag and dumping your school books out of it before shoving clothes into your bag.
“Is she dressed yet?! Liu is coming over right now to pick us up!” You heard your mother call. ‘Uncle’s coming?’ you thought as you threw your pajamas off yourself and into the clothes your dad gave you, a simple tracksuit, socks and a pair of trainers.
“(Y/n)! Are you ready!? Let's go!” Your father yelled, holding out his hand. You didn’t know what was happening or what was going on, you were scared. In an effort for some comfort, you grabbed your teddy bear, a small one your grandma gifted you before she died.
You took your fathers hand and he ran down the stairs with you in tow. Your mother was waiting by the door with two backpacks. “Come on! Liu will be here any minute! We have to be ready when he gets here!” She squealed in panic. She handed your dad his back pack as she slid on her. Your dad handed you your bag as he slid his on, you copied your parents, not really understanding what was happening.
Maybe it was because you didn’t know what was happening that made it so scary, making you hold on to your bear tighter. “(Y/n)! No matter what, stay with us, don’t wander off too far, okay?” Your dad said. Your mother’s phone rang, she picked up the call quickly.
“Liu!?”
“I’m coming down the road! Get ready to hop in!” Your uncle said to the speaker.
Your father grabbed you as your mother quickly opened the door. Outside was utter chaos, people, running and screaming. People with decayed flesh walking around and eating others. Blood, guts and gore. It was traumatizing to your young mind.
You all ran out as you saw your uncle’s jeep speed down the road. You all ran to the road where your uncle made a speedy stop. “QUICK! Get in!” He ordered. Your mother opened the back door and your father let you down, you quickly climbed into the backseat as your father sat beside your uncle.
Your mother tried to climb in after you.
“AAAGGGHHH!” She screamed as a decayed man came from nowhere and bit down on her neck. You watched the creature tear out your mother’s throat right in front of you. “NO!” Your father cried. You couldn’t react. Your Uncle hit the gas and you all zoomed away, your dad reached back to close the door, while you looked back and witnessed zombies coming to feast on your screaming mother.
That was the day where life as you knew it ended completely
*

*
You woke up, being encased by a large blanket, and your head was on something soft.
It was a pillow. You peaked out from under the covers and you looked like you were in some cabin, perhaps? You were in a big bed and at the end of the bed was a place with roaring flames. You sat up and looked down at yourself, you were no longer in your clothes, rather a large shirt. Someone had taken you out of your clothes.
You hopped out of the bed and looked around the room. You had to get out of here, wherever here was. The only things in the room were your bed, your closet and a window. You rushed over to the window and tried to open it. But it was locked, it looked like the morning sun was coming in. You needed to find a key. You went over to the bedroom door to look out of the keyhole, you recognised some movement going on beyond the door until you saw a pair of legs walking towards the door.
“Shit..!” You cursed and slipped into the closet. You held your breath as you heard someone enter the room, you heard it grunt and growl, realizing you weren’t in the bed. You calmed yourself, waiting for them to leave.
The creature ripped open the closet doors, forcing you to be face to face with the being that killed six grown men with ease. “Oh god…” You whimpered as it took your arm with its own deformed with with millions of eyes before tearing you out of the closet. You screamed as you hit the floor and covered yourself with your arms.
This is it, it was gonna kill you right now-
“WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING!?” It roared. You froze, it spoke, its voice was rough and hoarse. But a human voice nonetheless. “You can… Can you talk?”
“No, I’m fucking meowing- OH COURSE I CAN TALK!” He barked, you had to cover your ears due to how loud he was screaming. You looked up at him, sure he looked scary but it seemed as though he was capable of intelligent thought and speech. “I-I don’t get it. If you could talk all this time, why didn’t you speak before-”
“Oh what? You mean when those human happy meals where trying to rape your ass? You reckon they’ll be more scared of a mindless bloodthirsty monster or a semi decent living bioman that's capable of being persuaded. Yeah no, I choose violence.” He said.
It put you off as he said ‘happy meal’. “Are you… gonna eat me?”
“Nah, I might just put you to work.”
“Work?” You didn’t know what he meant by work, and you hoped it didn’t mean what you thought it meant.
He tossed you a long skirt, a small top and a pair of sandals. “Come, follow me outside.” He motioned, making his way out of the room. You tossed on the clothes, the top was a bit tight, doing nothing to hide your nipples through your shirt, as you exited the room, you noticed your clothes in a pile by the living room. You grabbed your scarf and hung it around your shoulders before making your way outside.
*Bark!*
*Bark!*
You were frightened when a pack of dogs, both big and small came running over to you, jumping up at you, inspecting you. “Guys! Down! Down!” The thing said, pushing his dogs to the side gently. You were a bit nervous but full of awe. You haven’t seen dogs in years. The thing bent down and gave them pats on the head.
“One of your jobs for me is to help me look after these guys.”
The dogs were of different breeds, bichons, dachshunds, german shepherds, samoyeds, great danes and other breeds you didn’t know the names of. “Are all of these… your dogs..?” You asked.
“Yeah, I rescued them, took them in. But I have loads of things to do around here, I have no time to keep up with their schedule.” The thing said, giving a bichon chin scratches. You look around the area, it looks like what used to be a small village. A field with crops with corn, hay, vegetables and maybe even fruit trees.
There was a barn where you could hear the sounds of animals. You ran over to the barn and looked inside. Cows, chickens, sheep, pigs, horses! “You farm all these animals?!” You said with wonder. It was amazing enough to see dogs but different farm animals? The thing joined you as you looked at the cows, the horses, the pigs and the cows again.
“Ugh…. yeah. You're pretty excited about this..” It groaned.
You didn’t answer, You had never seen so much life around you, for years, you’ve witnessed everything around you die. To see so many animals alive and well, you felt tears run down your face. “Ugh!? Why are you crying now!?” He barked.
“I- I don’t know!” You cried.
“Jeez, I should have left you out there if I had known you were in this much trouble.”
You stared at him with a saddened and surprised expression. Your lip protruding.
“I-I was just kidding!” He said, holding his arms up.
He led you out of the barn where the sun peaked out from behind the horizon. It bathed on your skin and it felt nice. “Listen, I don’t bring people here, period. You can stay as long as you put in the work, I don’t want you freeloading here, capche?” He ordered.
“Y- Yes!” You squeaked.
So far, this mean zombie seemed okay! He wouldn’t do anything to you, well, you hoped.
“What’s your name? I didn’t catch it.”
“I’m (Y/n), what's your name?” You asked.
“Sanemi, just Sanemi, okay?” He said. You shook your head.
*
*
Sanemi took you around the small compound he had built for himself, one house stored all the canned goods and spices one could ever hope for. All the electricity was run by a wind turbine a few miles away; any water was to be fetched from a nearby river. It was also great for fishing.
*
*
You were extremely fascinated by all of this, he had his own little town up and running but no one to live in it but him and his animals. “You run this place all by yourself?” You asked.
“Yeah, but it ain’t without difficulty. If something goes wrong with the turbines or water runs low, I have to make a hefty trip that takes a day or two. I would get worried if I didn’t have all these zombies around my perimeter.”
“What?” You asked dumbfounded.
“Oh yeah, you don’t know, do you.” He brought you over to the front gate where there was a loft that could be climbed up.The wall itself was at least twenty foot tall securing at least seven- eight acres of land? You didn’t know math that well but jeez, it was a lot of land to cover with at least eight watch towers. They were built with logs but armed with thick metal fence coverings so it made it difficult to see outside.
“There's no way you build all of this yourself!” you stated in awe.
“Well, I’m not exactly human, I don’t really need to eat or sleep so it was easy enough, besides zombies don’t engage with me.
You two climbed up and he gestured his arm over the wall. “See for yourself.” You looked over the wall and nearly got sick. Zombies. So many fucking zombies. Too many zombies to fucking count. “What the fuck…”
“You see, Zombies don’t engage with me because I’m what you can say.. Superior to them. My pheromones tell them to back off away from, even command.” You watched him snap his fingers and all the undead people looked in your direction.
He nodded his head to the left and then went in that direction before he lifted his hand up, making the stop. You were so struck with awe, not only was he some super zombie, he could coordinate zombies to his will. “Sanemi… what are you..?” You asked.
“I was a survivor from the experiments. The whole idea for the zombies is what you see here, me. I and others were designed to be perfect soldiers, superhuman soldiers. You saw me getting shot to hell, didn’t you?” He asked, folding his arms
You nodded, but what he said early made a question pop in your head. “Others? Others like you? Where are they now?” You asked.
A sad look graced his features.
“Honestly, I have no clue. We all split up after we escaped containment, we wanted to find our families. We weren’t some orphans they picked up, we were taken from our families.”
“That's horrible…” You gasped, putting a hand over your chest.
“I never found my family, I can only hope they’re okay somewhere out there or that they died painlessly.” He shook his head before heading down the ladder. He was obviously lonely, he had no one to talk to, only the companionship of his dogs and his farm animals. You too had been alone for a long time.
Eight years since the apocalypse began. After the first two years, your uncle was taken from you. Then it was just you and your dad. He died a little over two years ago, three months shy after you turned sixteen. After he died, you stayed by yourself, your dad never trusted other people.
You never trusted other people. Women were killed off surprisingly quickly. You learned at an early age what sex and rape meant. You remember your dad sat you down and told you all about it. How that many men were cruel and only saw women as objects.
That you should always trust their sex drive to make decisions for them.
You’ve lived in fear and anxiety, more of the living than the dead. Alone for two years until Sanemi found you. He may have been some weird zombie guy but you were just two lonely people in a cruel world. That would change.
“Sanemi!” You yelled, quickly climbing down the ladder to join him. “What?” he asked.
“I’ll do my best to help you out, Sanemi! From now on, I’ll be your best friend!”
“What the hell..?”
*

For the rest of the day, he ran you through the chores that had to be done. He ran you through what had to be done for the animals, collect eggs from the chicken pen, milk the cows, allow them all out to graze. Feed the dogs, check them all twice in case of medical emergencies.
“We don’t eat the animals here on the homestead. When we want meat, we’ll go fishing or hunt for wild game.” He said, you nodded.
He showed you the garage, inside was a truck and a car.
“I don’t use ‘em much, only if I know if I’m gonna be gone a while. I run checks on them every once in a while so they don’t fail on me when I need them.” You took the checklist on the table and looked through what had to be done. “I’ll show you how to check them another time.” He said.
He brought you to the farm where you looked at the different fruit and vegetables he had planted. “If you see any insect roaming about, bring the pigs over. They’ll scout for the insects and eat them, but make sure they have breakfast first, I don’t want them eating all the food.” He informed you.
“What about things like hunting and fishing?” You asked.
“Listen, you can’t really leave the homestead without me, my pheromones keep the zombies away from me and whatever living creature is with me. I would appreciate it if you look after things here with the dogs and all, anything outside, leave it to me, okay?”
You hummed.
For the first time in forever, you felt safe, secure. You could work without fear of being hunted, this was a dream, you were scared to pinch yourself in case you woke up. “Thank you Sanemi!”
“Yeah, yeah, whatever.”
*

The first few days were a bit awkward but you got the hang of it.
Milking cows was a lot harder than you thought you had to learn them to a fixture and secure them, approach them slowly and keep them calm, wash and dry their udders before milking. First time took you two hours to complete because you were unused to dealing with Animals.
Another thing you had to do was repair old clothes, which was the easiest thing to do. You had been repairing clothes long before, but Sanemi had lots of clothes, while you had… well… not many.
You also had to make rounds with the dogs to make sure they got their exercise. It was hard to keep track of all of them at once. But you managed, You also had to go through the job and remember all their names. Thankfully they all had name tags.
“Come on guys! Inside you go!” You ushered as they rushed inside the cabin. They all had their separate cabins all fitted with dog doors, ‘This zombie thought of everything’ you thought as you went into the kitchen and took out the dog's food, a few pigeons, deer liver, kidneys, lungs, some chopped up carrots and a boiled egg for each of them.
Also some grated cheese, he said Bruno especially liked cheese..
About twenty bowls were prepared before you could let the dogs in to eat. You left as they fed and went to the cabin, Night time was approaching so you went through the checklist to see if there was anything left to do. On the wall was a whiteboard where the chores Sanemi assigned for both him and himself. You checked off dog duties and ran your eyes down it.
Nope, nothing left.
“Hey, you did your chores?” Sanemi asked, walking in from the kitchen. “Yup!” You fistpumped.”I think Mary and the others are starting to get more comfortable with me!” You smiled. Mary was the biggest heifer in the herd. “Really? That's good, anyways, how does pheasant sound for dinner?”
“I think that sounds lovely~!” So far, you’ve only eaten canned goods, cold but good. You two set up the porch ready to cook, Sanemi set up the fire to cook the chicken while you were left with the vegetables. It really excites you, cooking. You chopped a mushroom as finely as you could before Sanemi came beside you with the defeathered pheasant.
“Don’t chop it up too finely, we ain’t cooking for the queen or nothing.” He chuckled.
“I thought you said you didn’t eat.” You asked.
“I said I didn’t really need to eat, but I even needed nutritions. Besides, there ain’t nothing like a home cooked meal.”
“You got that right, jeez… I can’t remember the last time I ain’t something homecooked.”
“The most I’ve done is just roast something on a stick.”
“You never cook?”
You both laughed, he did seem mean at first but he was surprisingly easy to talk to, sure he would just listen as you talked but it was nice. You chopped the vegetables, cooked the rice and fried the green beans while Sanemi cooked the pheasant in a creamy stock.
You sat under the porch and looked at the moon while eating your food, it was hot and savory. Sure, you could do a better job but you could appreciate what you were given. “Hey Sanemi, Could you eat me if you wanted to?”
“Sure.. If I wanted to.”
“Yeah… but Zombies eat everything around them, they sustain themselves with people and shit but you don’t need to.”
“Correction, Zombies don’t actually need to eat at all, but it's just a function the virus has on their brain telling them to eat. Since… y’know.. They’re dead.”
“But, you're alive.. Aren't you?”
“Well…. Technically… I did die.”
You felt awkward and kind of disturbed… he died?
“It was weird actually, I was infected and normally, when the virus shuts the brain down, I was able to retain control. But, even as a zombie that could retain all its old abilities, I was still considered a failure.”
“Huh..? Why?”
He lifted up the arm covered in eyes. “Does this answer your question?” But you couldn’t help but feel confused. “What? Were they not expecting that?”
“Nah, At first, I was fine, but my body started to mutate.”
“Can you actually see through all those eyes?” You questioned, taking his hand, the only part of his arm not covered in eyes. You observed them all, some were big, some were small. The spread throughout his arm, up his shoulder and neck before ending at face.
“Yeah, although it does give me a headache so I turn off the part of my brain that gives the ocular function.”
“You can do that?”
“Yeah.”
You stared at him for a bit. “Cool.”
“Yeah.”
*

“Hehe…. Hold her down boys…”
You were frozen in fear, you were cold, as you laid in the mud, watching these men observe you as if you were nothing but a piece of meat. “Please…. Don’t-”
You couldn’t say anything else as your private areas were violated. The only thing you could focus on was their grins, their evil smirks and the merciless eyes as they prayed on you while you were defenseless. They enjoyed seeing you in pain, it brought them joy.
“I wonder who’s baby she’ll carry first~” The leader said before they all removed their cocks from their pants.
“NOOOOO!” You screamed, sitting up in bed. You looked around, no one was there, just yourself, shivering alone in your empty bedroom with a cold sweat covering you. The only thing you could hear was the sound of crickets and the dogs barking. “Oh god….” You sobbed, curling your knees up to your chest and crying.
“(Y/n)!” Sanemi shouted, bursting into the room, scanning it to see what was causing you distress. “Hey…what's wrong…?”
“It's nothing…. It's stupid…” You whimpered, looking away. He came up beside you on the bed and sat by you on the edge. “I know I’m a bit…………. Difficult. But I am willing to lend you an ear if you need it.” He said.
You didn’t want to bother him with your worries, after all, no one has time to listen to another person’s woes, but when you looked at him and saw the genuine look on his face. You let it all out. You jumped on him and stuck your head into his lap before crying out all your tears.
“I-it was those guys…! The ones you saved me from! I see them in my dreams… I can’t stop picturing them hurting me the way they did…! Sometimes, they go farther and I’m unable to control what's going on.. I’m helpless… I don’t know how I survived so long on my own. I just know… if you weren’t there, they would have hurt me so bad…”
He ran his skinless hand through your hair, massaging your scalp.
“Don’t you worry about anything like that anymore..” He said smoothly as he took your head and lifted it until your eyes met him. “I promise, as long as you stay here with me… I will never let you feel scared or unsafe again.. You are one of my people now…” he said.
You wrapped your arms around his body and snuggled your head into the crook of his neck, his eyes no longer bothering you. He just shushed you while rubbing small circles on the small of your back. “You're soaked.. Go take a shower. I’ll change the sheets.”
You got up and walked to the bathroom where you changed out of your sweat riddled clothes and stepped into the shower tray. You turned on the cold water before letting the liquid hit your body, You let it drip off your body, making sure you were thoroughly washed before wrapping yourself up in a towel.
“Sanemi will protect me…… he will…” You said to yourself as you wiped the condensation from the mirror to look at yourself. You were plumper, every day, you survived on half a can of tinned food everyday, scavenging for whatever supplies you could find and sleeping with one eye open, all just to stay alive in this god forsaken world. Now you had a warm bed in a fortified place, two meals everyday and an intellectual bioweapon who can rip a man into two in under a second.
You would do anything to keep this life.
“Hey, I got a spare shirt for you out here.” Said the man outside your door. You peeked outside to see a skinless hand holding a long shirt. You quickly took it and slid it over your form before stepping outside.
“Bark!” From around the corner.
From around the corner, a samoyed over to you, stood up on his back legs and did a stretch while holding on to you. “Hey Beasley..” You said, giving him a rub on the head. Beasley, the least aggressive dog you’ve ever met. He just likes to sleep, eat and cuddle. He wasn’t much of a guard dog but he was always good company.
“Come on, head to bed.” Sanemi said, your sheets had been changed and Beasley hopped into bed. You got in and laid beside Beasley, cuddling your fluffy companion, but something felt missing. “Nemi..” You said you were tired and didn’t realize you didn’t pronounce his name properly. His face was red but you didn’t notice.
“Y-Yeah..?”
“Can you stay with me tonight…?”
He didn’t say anything, just slowly made his way into the bed. The window was open to let in the fresh, cold air of the somber night. He swapped your heavy duvet for a blanket and he stayed close to you as you fell asleep, his mutated arms wrapped loosely around you as you slept.
“She called me Nemi….” He whispered.
.
.
.
.
“YOU LITTLE SHIT!”
He screamed as a bottle was smashed across his face, he could hear his mother scream in turn before she felt her arms around him. “Stop it Kyogo! You're killing our boy!” She screamed.
“It's what he gets for stealing money out of my goddamn wallet!”
The only reason he stole the money was because his father always spent it on booze. His little sister was crying this morning because she was so hungry so he stole the money so his mom could make a home cooked meal like she always did. His face hurt so much, blood stained his shirt.
“I swear! I’m gonna break his fucking arms, then his legs, then I’m going to smash out his fucking teeth-”
*KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!*
“Child protective services! Please open the door or we will break it down with force!”
“Who the fuck called cps..? Was it you?!” His father grabbed his mother and began to shake her about like a rag doll. “No Kyogo! I swear! I didn't call anyone!” She sobbed, scared.
“You lying fucking bitch!”
His father pummeled his mother before the authorities broke down the door. There were so many loud noises, his father trying to fight off the police, his mother crying and his younger siblings…
“NO! Please don’t take my big brother!” Genya cried as he was carried out the front door and into the back of a car. “This child is to be placed in protective custody!” Said a woman in a suit before she drove off with him.
“Nemi! NEMI!” His poor brother cried, trying to chase down the car.
A first, he thought she was going to bring him to the hospital, but they never went anywhere near the hospital,
They went out into the rural area where there were a bunch of men waiting for them.
“I have taken the specimen into custody, if anyone asks for him, we can say his parents have been permanently denied custody of him.”
“Excellent, well done.” Said an old man before he was taken out of the car and the social worker drove off.
He was in that facility for a long time.
.
.
.
.
“Are you ready to head out?” He asked as you zipped up your jacket. “Yup, I’m ready.”
After a few weeks, you convince Sanemi that you needed more clothes for yourself and medicine.
On laundry days, where you had to wash all the clothes you had, which wasn’t a lot, you would have to wear his clothes which was kinda embarrassing. You heard that a girl would only really wear a man’s clothes if she was dating him.
And, his pants and shirts didn’t really fit you properly.
Plus, Sanemi didn’t have much medicine on him, only enough things in case something happened to one of the animals. You two left the house and went to the garage. “What shall we take today? Car or truck?” You asked.
“Egh.. We’ll take the car.” He said, hoping in the driver’s seat. You next to him and pat your thighs as he puts the key in the ignition. You two drove to the front gate. “Hold on, I’m gonna open it, Don’t leave the car.” He said exiting the gate, you saw him push open the gate with both arms and it made you wonder, how heavy were those gates?
They looked to be exactly 10ft tall, enough to fit his truck through and they had steel plates covering both sides to your guess. Outside, you could see the herd of zombies wandering about, you sweated, you had never been so close to a herd of zombies before. Your dad always made it clear to you to steer clear of any herds.
Get away as fast as you could or find a good sturdy place to wait them out. Zombies, as you knew, couldn’t see. You didn’t know about their sense of smell so their only real sense to help them find you was their hearing. You could spend hours in a tree, remaining as quiet as a mouse and a zombie would never find you.
Sanemi got back in the car and drove out, just enough so the car was no longer in the gateway. “Okay, I’m gonna close it now, just be cool okay. These guys won’t hurt you as long as you are with me.” He got out and walked back over to the gate. It took you by surprise.
How calm he was in the face of danger. These zombies just continued to wonder about it, not even bothering to approach the car. You saw one guy stand by your window, it spooked you that it wasn’t trying to get you. You looked back at Sanemi as he went back to the gate.
You saw one try to wander inside but Sanemi quickly grabbed it and shoved it away, it fell to the ground and didn’t get back up. You saw Sanemi quickly lock up the gate before getting back inside the gate. “You see, the trick is to never let up on ‘em. They’re nothing but bags of bones so you gotta treat ‘em as such.”
“Okay… Well, if I did that, it would have just tore into me.”
“True.” He said, he put his foot to the gas and you both drove off.

You reached the town, it was small, and had everything a town would usually have.
You two first stopped off at a pharmacy, the front of the store had been looted and what not, save for hair care and skin care and what not. You grabbed some deodorant and used it, you had gone too long without it. And of course, pads and tampons. Oh glorious pads, where art thou? There were a couple of stragglers inside but Sanemi smashed their heads in quickly.
“There ain’t nothing here, it's best if we move on.”
“No, wait.” You said. You remember your mother worked for a pharmacy once, most pharmacies have back rooms where they store the important things. Moxifloxacin, Oxycodone, Prednisolone and Diazepam, you know, you weren’t suicidal or anything but it helps when life gets rough. Bandages, normal pain killers, gauges were also a must.
You went behind the counter and looked around, surely enough, there was a key peeking out from beneath an old lunch box. You grabbed it and went further back, Sanemi followed you and sure enough, there was a back room.
“Oh crap, I didn't think it was still locked.” he said as you inserted the key in the door. “Most people don’t bother with the backroom, most people would just grab what they can and skedaddle.” You noted, opening the door.
*RING*
The alarm bell set off and your eyes found its location immediately. “SHIT!” You cursed. Sanemi acted fast, jumping up and breaking the alarm. “Crap, There are gonna be zombies on us now!” You gasped.
“Don’t worry, I’ll keep them off us, you just take your time on getting what you need.” He reassured before leaving the back room. ‘Take my time?’ you thought. Anyone else would have told you to hurry up, you peered around the corner to see him absolutely annihilate twenty zombies coming towards the store.
“Huh, I guess I don’t need to worry.” You said to no one but yourself.
You know what, it felt good to have a zombie bodyguard.
*
*
*
*
You excited the pharmacy with three whole shopping bags worth of medication, you had a backpack prepared but even that wasn’t enough to hold everything. Sanemi stood amongst the dead bodies with his hands on his hips, looking around.
“Coast Clear?” You asked.
“You took your sweet time.”
“You said I could. Besides, I got lots of things that would help me out if I were in a pickle.”
“Whatever..”
You went back to the car and stuffed the bags into the boot before driving to the mall, you were a bit put off by the sight. You usually stay away from big places like malls, the easiest place to get trapped in. Hardest place to escape.
But with Sanemi here~
“Do you mind if I get some dresses..?” You asked, fiddling with your thumbs as Sanemi knocked a zombie out of the way as you both entered the clothes store. “Why would I care what clothes you get? Get whatever you want.”
You honestly did enjoy wearing the skirt, you haven’t worn a skirt in years. It made you feel pretty.
:3
“Sanemi! Sanemi! What do you think?” You asked, twirling around in a long pink dress with strawberries and puffy sleeves. “Eh!? Y-You look fine! Come on! Just grab what you need!” he said with painfully obvious red cheeks before he turned around.
Of course, you had grabbed one of those plastic trolleys and began to pile in everything you wanted. Jackets, jeans, skirts, cardigans, dresses, skirts, socks, underwear~ You grabbed many packets of the lacey underwear.
What? You were an adult! You remember when you were a child, you feared the older popular looking girls with low rise jeans and the brightly coloured thongs over their hips. But now that you were older, you could appreciate the aesthetic they were going for.
The 2000’s were something.
*Clash!*
You heard something bang around the clothing department. Sanemi put a hand in front of you. “Stay here, Imma check it out.” He said as he went off in the direction of the sound.
You hoped it was just another zombie. You quickly threw a raincoat into a trolley before taking a knife from your holster. “Please come back..please come back..”
“Who are you?” You heard an unfamiliar voice. You slowly turned around to face its owner.
A man was there, he stood around 5’4’ you think. He had medium length hair that reached his shoulders, He had heterochromia eyes, one gold and the other a deep turquoise. But that wasn’t what terrified you most. His mouth spread from, ear to ear and along with a row of large teeth on each side.
Perfect for tearing into someone’s chest.
“Well? I’m waiting, answer me. Unless you’d rather die here-”
Was that an echo? Fuck it, you were getting the hell out of here!
You dropped everything and spirited in the opposite direction, pushing everything out of your way, you looked back to see if the tiny zombie man was following , you didn’t notice the pink haired girl before you clashed into her. You both got knocked down. Your head felt fuzzy but you shut it to regain your vision. You look at the girl on the ground opposite you
“AGH!”
“AGH!”
You both screamed in sync as you saw Sanemi appear from behind her. “Sanemi!” You yelled, scrambled over to him and stood behind him. “Obanai! The girl squealed as she approached the slit mouthed man who was chasing you.
The two deformed men stared each other down, they slowly walked towards each other, this was it. They were gonna start a massive brawl. The were bring so many zombies here-
“Son of a bitch.”
They joined hands like that one scene from predator with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carl Weathers. You could only stare in awe. Was this a movie? Was this a reference to the Predator movie? What was going on?
“Wait! You know them, Obanai?” The pink headed girl asked. She had green ends and her eyes were also green. She was evidently two inches taller than the man she was with. “Um.. I know him, I don’t know the girl behind him.” he said.
It then clicked in your mind.
“Sanemi, is he also one of the kids that were kidnapped and experimented on?” You asked.
“Yeah… It's been a long time, man.”
“So it has. How have you been?” Said Obanai, well, that's what the girl called him.
“I’m fine. We have a lot of catching up to do-”
“Guys! Zombies!” You yelled, pointing to the large group of undead walking through the doors of the clothes store. “Say we wrap this up after we deal with these guys?” Sanemi suggested.
“Agreed, Girls, get behind the counter where it’s safe.” Obanai said.
“Don’t have to tell us twice!” The other girl said before she hopped over the counter, you followed suit. You two sat while you heard the boys diminish the dead's numbers.
“Hi! I’m Mitsuri, sorry for bumping into you~” She said.
“Hi, I’m (Y/n). I guess I’m sorry too.” You said, scratching your neck.
“It’s fine, I don’t really see many intelligent zombies other than Obanai.”
“Me neither, I literally just ran into Sanemi a few weeks ago, I’m still getting used to it.”
“Me and Obanai have been together for years now. Seeing him is normal compared to normal people.”
“I feel like you and I have a common fear.”
“What is it?”
“We fear the living over the dead, they’re assholes.”
“Ain’t that the truth?”
The sharp toothed man peered over the counter where you hid. “It's safe to come out, they’re all gone.” He said. The girl grinned, standing up and leaning over the counter. “My hero!” She sat on the counter and flipped her legs over to the other side before pecking him on the lips.
‘Are they…together..?” You thought. Sanemi approached as you stood up, he leaned against the counter, looking at the smaller man.
“What have you been doing all this time?” Sanemi asked Obanai.
“Well, I did find my family, but I left them quickly. Turns out I didn’t really want them in my life, but thankfully I ran into Mitsuri here, we've been traveling the country ever since.” You noticed them reach for each other’s hands and held them tightly.
“I never found mine but I have a homestead that I’ve been looking after for years now. Got a farm, a few animals. I picked (Y/n) up a few weeks ago and she’s helped out. If you want, you could stay with us as long as you’d like.” Sanemi suggested as you stepped closer to him.
“Is it safe?” Obanai asked
“Pfft! Is it safe?” You chuckled. He gave you a death glare, you stopped laughing. “The walls are twenty feet high and the place is powered by wind turbines I do regular checks on. Sometimes gangs happen upon it but the zombies in the area usually make quick work of them before they can even breach the walls.” Your boss informed you.
“Oh Obanai! Can we please go? This homestead sounds nice and it sounds like a big change from our regular routine!” Mitsuri begged. “What’s your regular routine?” You inquire.
“We camp out in abandoned buildings, Obanai always has to clear them out though.”
“Sick, I just slept in trees with a hammock and some tarpaulin. The beds are better though.”
“You have beds!?” She squealed.
“I take it as a yes then?” Sanemi asked.
“It seems I have no choice.” Obanai signed.

“Oh my god! Look at all these tomatoes!” Mitsuri gasped as you snipped a ripe one off its tree and placed it in the basket Mitsuri held. It was the next day after your journey into town. Obanai and Mitsuri settled into one of the unused cabins on the homestead.
*
*
Like you, Obanai and Mitsuri had to earn their keep so you both did most of the chores inside while the men handled the heavy duty business outside.
“So, You and Obanai are… involved?” You asked. She smiled before picking up a tomato. “Me and Obanai are married~'' She giggled. You took a double take. “M-Married?” You said in awe. You didn’t think things like marriage even existed in this world anymore.
“Yep, Me and Obanai were walking through a city once and happened upon a jewelry store~” She held her hand out to show off the ring on her rings, a silver band with a pink diamond heart. “I liked it so much, things like jewelry are precious to girls, y’know? So he took it from the case, got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife~!”
“That's sweet.” You cooed, to believe romance was still going strong in such a cruel world like this.
“How did you and Sanemi meet? He said he picked you up, or whatever that means?” She giggled.
Your mood immediately dampened. Despite you meeting Sanemi being a blessing, that day still traumatized you to no end. “I um… I… I’d rather…” You didn’t want to be rude, but you couldn’t tell her. Even speaking about it made you shake.
“H-Hey…. If you don’t want to talk about it, that’s fine…” Mitsuri said before bending down, a little cat had sat by her feet so she wanted to pet it. “Before I met Obanai… it was just me and my family.. But bad people came and took them away… I thought.. I’d always be alone after that but Obanai came to me.”
She smiled as the cat reciprocated her touch by purring. Obanai may see rough around the edges

“Me and Obanai were thinking of trying for a baby..” Mitsuri said to you as you both sipped tea on the porch while the men chopped wood out front.
“A baby? Don’t you think it's too early to start trying? I mean, you’re both so young.” You blurted out. Six months, six months had passed and spring had come back, it was still a little cold but you had plenty of blankets to keep you two warm.
“I know, but me and Obanai have gone through so much already and now we’ve finally found somewhere to raise children safely. He’s already talked to Sanemi about it and he says it's okay.” She pondered, tapping her finger against the cup she had. That brought you to the bigger question.
“C-Can they actually…. You know..?”
“Reproduce? I don’t see why not, they’re not like other zombies, they’re technically still alive.”
“Okay, But what about their mutations? What if the kids have some kind of deformity, it's not easy to raise a kid like that.”
“Oh, I see your point-”
“Mitsuri.” Obanai hissed while walking up to the porch. “Come one, I think it's time we head inside for the day.” She stood up without a word and let him lead her away. You looked over at Sanemi who gave you a disappointed look. What did you do?
*Whine..* You looked over at Beasley as he sat by your feet. “Hey boy….” You said, rubbing his head. You don’t think you did anything wrong, sure, it's Mitsuri and Obanai’s future but children… that was something big, not something you can just carelessly think about. Six months ago, you would never have dreamed of bringing another child into this world.
That would be just selfish, this world was cruel and chaotic. Safety and security was never a guaranteed deal. “Come on boy, time for din dins.” You said, leading him to the cabin.
*

“You should really keep your nose out of other people's business.” Sanemi Implored as he stacked away the dishes you had just cleaned. “I was trying to just give some insight. I have nothing against you or obanai but you two aren't normal. What if the kid has some kind of deformity they’re not ready to handle. I just want her to properly weigh out the pros or the cons.”
“Or, the kid could just be a normal kid.” He chastised.
“You don’t know that yet, do you? Does anyone know? Is it a risk they could take, what if this kid hurts her?”
“Again, we don’t know. Just let them do what they wanna do!” He yelled, storming off. You smacked the washcloth on the counter. What was his damage? This shit happens, besides, Mitsuri and you were friends now so you didn’t want anything bad to happen to her.

“Useless! Useless! Useless!” One scientist screamed as he looked upon the deformed boys in their cages. Each of them crying and weeping. “The dosage! It should have perfected their bodies! No!”
“Well sir, Their bodies have adapted well to the trials, their speed and strength have increased significantly, we also detect that their iq’s have gone up highly. We’ve done some x rays, some of these children have already replaced some of their organs with brains and hearts
“Still! They clearly have no control over their fucking appearance- Shinazugawa doesn’t need a million eyes on his arm.”
“I do believe we can find a solution for the super soldier experiment.”
“What?”
“The dosage we used is clearly too powerful for them to control. But there's a way to cancel out the effects for the second generation. Have their sperm impregnate female women.”
“They are kids!”
“So? There is always I.V.F, we can-”
“There’s been a break in the contamination unit- the undead are coming!”

You eyed Obanai from the corner of your eye as he carried a sack of something with him, walking down the gravel path. You had just finished doing your weekly inspection of the vehicles when you saw him. Ever since your conversation with Mitsuri three weeks ago, Obanai has begun to give you the cold shoulder, that in itself made you angry.
So you decided to confront him.
“Hey! Obanai!” You yelled, marching over to him, he stopped to look at you. He had taken to wearing a face covering to hide his mouth, but you could see his annoyed expression through his heterochromia eyes. “What is it..? Can’t you see I’m busy..?”
“Why are you being so rude to me? Aren't we friends?” You ask.
“You and me? Friends? No. We are just neighbors. You are my wife’s friend and my long lost friend’s woman, that is all.”
“His woman? What are you on about? Me and Nemi aren't together like that.”
“Sure, keep telling yourself that. It's gonna happen eventually so just accept your place.” he grunted before trying to walk away.
“Is this because of what I said about you and Mitsuri trying for a baby? I wasn’t trying to be antagonistic, I was trying to be a realist.”
“You were so ‘worried’ that our baby would be deformed. Worried it’ll look like me? A freak?”
“You know that's not what I meant!”
He spun around and shot a glare at you. “Then what the hell is it supposed to mean exactly?”
“Pregnancy can kill her, childbirth is extremely dangerous! We don’t have a doctor or anyone who has any idea on how to be a midwife. Do you really want to go through with this? Many women die when doing this and we have no one to help us through this. Plus, she will be pushing out a zombie baby or whatever you call it. The fetus could hurt her or anything could happen, have you and her taken into consideration about all the possibilities of what might happen if you do this.”
At that point, you were rambling, you didn’t want to lose the only other girl on the homestead.
However, he did take your words into consideration.
“If you're so concerned about my wife’s health, then why don’t you learn how to be a midwife?”
You began to stutter. “W-What..what..?!”
“You heard me, I’m not repeating it.”
“But-! I don’t know how I’ll learn about that kind of stuff-!”
He walked away and you growled. Why did he have to be such a dick?!
.
.
.
.
“Guys~! We have a big announcement!” Mitsuri squealed at the dinner table; You were half way through your carbonara when she said that and your heart froze. You and Sanemi both looked at Obanai and Mitsuri as they held hands. “I’m pregnant!”
“Congrats.” Sanemi said, a pleasant smile on his face as he slapped Obanai on the back.
“I’m happy for you Mitsuri..!” You say, a fabricated smile on your face as she beamed with glee. “Oh I know! I’ve always wanted a big family of my own and now me and Obanai are gonna have our first baby! I’m so happy!”
Of course you were happy for her, a child is always happy news under the right circumstance. But now, you were confronted with the matter at hand. You need to somehow keep her alive if she does have complications since it appears you're the only one who’s concerned about that shit.
Once dinner was over, you took a map and pinned it to the corkboard. Your first thought was how were you going to help Mitsuri when this baby came. First things first, you need to learn all you can about child birth and how to help a new mother.
But where would you get that type of information first?
You looked around the map, there was the local town, the abandoned factory… the town of the coast you haven’t explored yet and-
An old university campus.
Would there be books on Midwifery there..?
Well, you guess before the world went to shit, people would have to train in that kind of stuff in maternity hospitals so yeah. Maybe midwifery was a thing. It has to be. You can’t just have anyone be a midwife.
“Well, you sure were nice at dinner- what the hell are you doing?” You heard Sanemi growl, entering your room. You didn’t care for his antics, Obanai told him about your conversation and he blew up at you for trying to involve yourself. You weren’t really on speaking terms with him so you could only imagine he came in here to bitch at you.
“Midwifery.” You said, taking down the name of the university before thinking where would you find information on midwifery. University campuses were different from your average college. There were multiple buildings for different sectors. Like science, economies, health, art, law, business, athletics.
And each of those buildings would have their own libraries centered around their bases of study.
“Wait.. you seriously want to help…?” He asked before you looked away from the board to give him an equally angered and shocked expression. “Of course I want to help Nemi! We have nine months until she gives birth and we need to make sure we’re prepared for the worse and seeing as I’m the only other woman and the only one who’s taking this seriously, I need to be there for her if shit goes down!” You yelled.
You looked back at the board. You needed to gather stuff for this baby. A crib, baby clothes, blankets. You once heard that white noise helps babies with babies so maybe you could find one of those cd’s that produce it.
“Hold on… You wanna go to that campus? Loads of dead people walking about the last time I went there.”
“When was that?” You ask.
“I dunno, Two years ago.”
“That's a lot of time for them to wander off.”
“They were students from eight years ago who never escaped.”
“Well then, looks like I need to be careful then.” You said, walking away and grabbing a bag. “You're not honestly thinking of going by yourself!” He grunted. You spun around and gave him an unimpressed face. “Why? Are you going to stop bitching at me or will you come help me?”
“I’m not bitching..!”
“That's not how I saw it.”
“You were the one nagging about them getting pregnant.”
“That's called ‘Being concerned for your friend’s health and well being’, completely different from what you’re doing.”
“Ok! Fine! I won’t ‘bitch’ anymore but we’ll do this my way!” He said.
You honestly couldn’t care how it's done, as long as you get the instructions on how to help your friend not die in childbirth.
.

“Huh.. campus is quite barren today..” You say as you step out of the car and look around. Your parents have always wanted you to attend a big university when you were younger. Never thought you’d ever be on one until today.
“Okay, where to?” He asked, as he turned the engine off before slamming the door closed.
“Preferably the science or health building. We need to find a map of the campus, then go from there.” You informed me before walking onward. A few stranglers but Sanemi kept them at a distance.
There was a large map of the campus by some shrubbery. “Okay, it's on the far east of this place.” You said, taking the note down. “Okay, let's go then!” Sanemi barked as you two made your way over. You noticed that this area was quite desolate, not a zombie in sight.
“I didn’t expect this…” He said, looking around. You didn’t either. You were expecting trouble. Well, maybe this was trouble but you didn’t realize it yet.
“Is that a horse?” He said, pointing over to a line of trees, sure enough, there was a horse there, tired to the fence. You two approached the creature, it seemed calm. Now you know something was up. “A herd would have been on this horse in seconds.” You said, looking at your undead companion.
“I know. Maybe there is someone like me in the area.” He said.
“Another like you?” You already had to deal with two zombies, you couldn’t stand another. “Let's just get what we need and go.” He said. You nodded your head and headed inside the building, once again, desolate.
“Library is on the second floor. Let's go.” You said as you both jogged up the stairs and inside.The place was huge, understandable.
“Okay, I need to find books on pregnancy and midwifery.” You said as you both scanned the aisles with Sanemi close behind you. There were many books but you found some stuff. “Skills for Midwifery practice…. Fundamentals of midwifery… postnatal and neonatal midwifery skills…”
Won’t these books just tell you the same shit?” He asked.
“Maybe, but then it’ll be better to cross examine, see what they say they have in common and apply that to practice.” You said, putting the heavy books in your bag. You scanned the shelf to see what else you would need. “The art of zuò yuè zi, the journey to a mother’s recovery.” You read out loud before stuffing that into your bag also.
Most of these books were written in the early 2000’s to early 2010s. Some could be outdated, that's why you were grabbing as many as you could. You were also grabbing some books for Mitsuri, books on pregnancy and how to look after yourself.
“You sure we need this many books?” He asked, carrying some for you.
“Yes, Nemi. we only have nine months to get it right.” You warned.
*Crash*
“Giyuu! Did you seriously not see that vase?!”
“I did see it. You were the one who knocked me into it.”
“Ugh! You are unbelievable!”
You both peaked around the corner to see who was speaking. A girl and another zombie man.were by the biology section, the girl holding a stack of books while the guy was just standing there.
The girl looked normal enough. Black hair with dyed purple ends, tied up in a butterfly shaped hair chip. Purple eyes and cherry red lips. She wore a raincoat, some black pants and hiking boots.
Now it was the guy that had you concerned. This guy had no skin on his arm, his mutated muscles exposed to the air with deformed bones sticking out in some areas, near the shoulders and elbows, and the tips of his fingers. Razor sharp. He had bruised veins like Obanai and Sanemi but the corners of his mouth looked like they had been stapled together. His hair was long, reaching the small of his back and he had eyes as deep blue as the sea.
“Why are we here? I thought we were heading to Innsmouth..”
“I told you! If we are going to understand your virus, I need to know more of the facts!” She said matter of factly.
“Well fuck me… It's Giyuu…” Sanemi snarled.
“Another one of your long lost friends-”
“A fucking asshole.” He said. That took you off guard. “What did he do..?”
“He’s a fucking poser.”
“I am not a poser.” Giyuu said, looking over at your direction. You quickly hid, looking at Sanemi. “He could hear us?!”
“I never called you a poser.” The girl said. Looking at him strangely.
Sanemi dropped the books, came out from his hiding spot and looked over at him. “Tomioka.” He said.
“Shinazugawa.” The other guy responded.
“W-Who is that..?” The girl said, getting a fright. The two men approached one another, Sanemi smirked.
“You’ve become visually incapacitative even though you have more than a hundred eyes spread along the right side of your body. Sad really.”
“You got uglier.”
“Asshole.”
You pop your head from around the corner and your eyes meet the other girl’s.
“Ugh… hi..?”
“Hello.” She said,
“Well, I think we’re done here. “(Y/n). Let's go.” He said, coming back over to you and picking up the books. “Seriously? Just like that?” You ask.
“Just like that.” He said.
“W-wait! Hold on!” The girl said, coming closer to you.
“Shinobu. Don’t.” Giyuu said. But she continued on anyway.
“Midwifery? Are you pregnant with his child?” She asked, almost surprised as she looked between you two. “N-NO!” You yell a little bit too loudly.
“It's another woman in our group. With someone like us as well.” Sanemi responded.
“Oh, is that safe? I didn’t think it was possible.” She said,
“I didn’t either but it happened.”
“How….. far along is this woman..?” The girl asked.
“Why do you care?” You asked.
“So hold on, you're saying you’re a qualified midwife?” You reaffirm.
“Because, I worked as an intern for the infirmary down in Rokuro city. I’ve had a hand in many births.”
“I wouldn’t say I’m qualified but yes, I have enough experience.” You looked back at Sanemi and he shook his head. “No.”
“Come on! Mitsuri needs this!” You yell.
“So I don’t trust her from a hole in the ground.”
“Well we don’t trust you either so we’re leaving.” Tomioka said, trying to pull Shinobu along.
“Stop!” She commanded.
“You said you were going to Innsmouth, what for?” You asked, she shook Giyuu off her and looked back at you. “Innsmouth is home to the Ghosts.”
You didn’t need to be told, the ghosts were a radical group from all over the country who were searching for a cure, taking down different communities to do so. “Why would you want to go to them? I heard they’re crazy.”
“They’re not crazy! We believe that Giyuu can help find the cure-”
“That's bullshit, we can’t help make a cure, the scientists said so. The only thing we can do is control the pheromones that control them.” Sanemi stated as tomioka lifted his shoulders. “I tried to tell her that.”
“Look, even if you got to the ghosts and made a cure, how do you know they won’t just monopolize it for themselves?”
“My sister was a member of the ghosts, she was the one who learned of the zombie experiment that started this and was able to find Giyuu here before she died. It’s an honorable cause she died fighting for.” She said,`you felt bad for her, but still, pity doesn’t equal trust.
“Listen, I understand you probably have good intentions, but in this world, you have to look out for those closest to you. I’ve seen first hand what the ghosts are capable of and I can’t trust anyone who’s affiliated with people like that.” You responded, taking your books and holding them close.
“Shinobu.” Giyuu said, making the girl look at him. “There is no cure. I’m sorry-”
“No! Save it! No matter what the virus, there is always a solution to cure it. If I understand what your virus is made of, I can find a way to reverse engineer it and create a vaccine.” She said as if it was a fact. You had to applaud her tenacity.
“Listen, if you are serious about finding a cure, ghosts aren't the way to find it. If anything, they lost the plot ages ago.” Sanemi said.
“Even so, I won’t give up. It's what my sister died for.”
“Well, It looks like you could find most of the materials here…” You said looking around the building.
“How about this..” Sanemi says.
“You make up your mind, We are settling at a homestead on the west of the old town if you wanna come, but if you do decide to join up with the ghosts, don’t you dare try to get us involved.” He warned before turning around. “Come on (Y/n).”
You followed him closely, looking back at the couple… you just hoped they didn’t choose the stupid path and join up with the ghosts. They are what killed your father.
.
.
.
.
“CATCH THEM!”
“DON’T LET THEM ESCAPE!”
You and your dad ran endless through the dark forest, neither of you dared to use any flashlights in case it gave away your position. You ran faster than your dad, trying to get away from the group of people chasing you.
*Boom!*
“ARGH!” You dad roared, falling into a ditch. “Dad!” You screamed, jumping in after him. He held his leg, the bullet had gone straight through his thigh. “Damn it!” He cursed.
“Come on dad! You have to get up!” You begged, you helped him, taking his arm and hanging it over your shoulder to allow him to use you as support. You two made your way out of the ditch, you tried to escape with your father as fast as you could.
However, you could hear them getting closer.
“(Y/n)! You need to leave me behind… I’m only going to slow you down!” He pleaded but you shook your head. “Fuck that! I’m not leaving you behind!” You shouted, you slipped and the both of you went down hill. Your trousers were soaked in mud but even so, you tried to pull him up. “Come on-!”
“(Y/n)!” He shouted, making you freeze.
“You and I both know how this will end!”
“No we don't! Please Dad! I can’t lose you!” You cried.
He held both your hands in his, close to his chest. “I’ve taught you…. Everything you need to know. I’m an old man…. My time is up. If you get out of this alive, then my death will not be in vain.”
“DON’T SAY THAT!” You screamed, trying to pull him up. “COME ON!”
However he wouldn’t get up. “Dad…?”
“Go…” He pulled out his gun and began shooting.
“Over here! Gunshots!”
You heard voices approach,without thinking, you hid behind a small boulder and watched the group corner your dad. “Where’s the girl you are with! Tell us!” They demanded.
He simply spat on their shoes. “Make me…!”
One of them took out a crow bar and toyed with it. “You asked for it.”
You had to look away as they began to beat your father viciously, you heard him try his best to hold back his screams of pain. It was too terrible but he didn’t say a word. They eventually left and you could only look down at the corpse of your beloved father before bursting into tears.
It should have been you…

“Oh my goodness! Is this dress for me?” Mitsuri beamed as you handed her the white dress with pink cherry blossoms printed on it. You used a nice soft cotton material to make it, from old curtains. “I hope you like it, I used a zig zag stick to help it stretch for your later months.”
“Aw… (Y/n)!” She cooed before hugging you. “This is so thoughtful.” You hugged her back. “It's the least I could do, after all you are a mama now.”
“You hear that baby?” Mitsuri asked her tummy. “You already have a family who loves you very much!”
“Hey, (Y/n).” Said Sanemi as he climbed up the steps to the porch, where you and Mitsuri sat on rocking chairs. “Hey Nemi, what's up?” You ask.
“Wanna come riding with me?” He responded
“Where to?” You asked.
“To the river on the west side, we can go fishing and what not…” He said.
“Aw! That sounds so romantic!” Mitsuri blushed. You gave her an incredulous look. “R-Romantic?”
“Go on! Don’t let me hold you back!” She beamed, making you leave the porch with the white haired zombie. You were all but kicked out, making you both look at each other. “Just what is up with that girl?” He asked.
“I dunno. That's just her I guess.”
You saddled up the horses and Sanemi brought the fishing rods. “Should I change?” You asked. You were wearing a long flowery patterned dress with a wooly cardigan and a simple pair of ankle boots. As you were saying this, you were tying your hair up in a low bun.
“Nah, just bring your rifle.” He said. You both grabbed some rifles before you mounted up onto your horses. The horde wasn’t that frequent nowadays. Mitsuri didn’t like hearing the dead at night and frankly, neither did you so the horde has kept its distance thanks to Sanemi and Obanai. Just a few stragglers here and there, nothing too worrisome
The horses always got startled when the dead were near, but lots of training kept them calm, no doubt they would have been torn apart if Sanemi wasn’t there. “Come on Shimmer.” You called out to your horse as the pair of you rode off.
The deeper you two rode off into the forest, the better you felt as you smelled the fresh open air. “You reckon we’ll get many fish today?”
“Sure, I got plenty of worms and what not, I also gotta go check on the windmills today!”
“K!” You responded.
“It was a half an hour’s ride to the windmills. Your community already had solar panels but the windmills gave that extra boost through underground pipes that kept the generators running. There were a few dead people attracted to the frequent movement of the windmills but Sanemi had installed an electric fence to keep them out.
You led the horses inside the enclosure, where you got off and tied them up safely.
“Come inside?” Sanemi asked. You nodded before heading inside.
“So what do we have to check on-?”
You were lightly pushed against the wall with Sanemi leaning over you, startling you “N-Nemi..?” You asked.
“You know… I really do like you, you know..?” He said. Now that took you off guard. “Huh..?”
He stepped away and took your hands in both of his. Listen. I know it's been seven months since we’ve known each other… and you might not be receptive to what I have to say.. But I wanna be with you.”
“Woah! W-What brought this on..?” You ask.
“Listen, You and I are both human. Even if I am a monster… both of us deserve some semblance of a normal life and I think… we could make each other happy if we tried…”
“Are you saying this because you genuinely like me… or are you saying this because I’m the only other woman that isn’t taken?”
“Well why else do you think saved you, huh?” He said it was obvious.
You were taken aback.. “What are you saying…?”
“I’m saying I saved you because I'm a man with needs. I need a woman by my side and you are in need of protection. It's mutually beneficial for both of us.”
“I-I can’t believe you!” You cried, running over to the door, trying to open it, but he kicked it back closed. “Hey, I’m not letting you leave until you agree to be with me.” He said.
“How can I be with you?! You just said my only worth to you is that I’m a woman!” You sobbed, looking away from him while covering your face.
“That's not true! I love you alot, I would do anything to protect you and keep you safe.” You just continued to sob into your hands, not wanting to look at him. You considered him a dear person, you cared about him deeply, maybe you would have been more receptive to advances in the future but how he said it like this.
“Sanemi… I can’t even look at you right now!” You wailed, you felt his hands wrap around your wrists, prying them gently away from your face. “I can make you so happy.” He said, before leaning down to kiss you.
You wanted to pull away and screamed but he kept his lips pressed to yours and pinned your arms up high above your head. He was so strong, you nearly felt your feet leave the floor. You had to stand on your tippy toes. You felt his big slimy tongue invade your mouth, pushing your teeth apart and tangling it with your own.
“N-Nemi-!” You tried to say, he pulled away from you for a second before saying-
“Don’t fight it.” before going back to his advances. He pulled you away from the door, keeping his skinless hand on the small of your back while keeping his other one on the back of your head. You pulled at his shirt as some form of resistance but it didn’t seem to work.
“I love you..” He said before you both found yourselves on the floor. He kept you straddled in his lap, rubbing your back while using his tongue to wrestle yours. It was so humiliating, so horrible. But you couldn’t stop yourself from reciprocating his actions.
You hated this. But you loved him.
You held each other close, you hated him, but you loved this.
Why was your heart confusing you at a time like this?
“See? This is how things between us should be..” He said into your ear while rubbing your back.
“Nemi….” You cried, you could only hold him close to you, seeing as you had no one else.
.
.
.
.
“Agh!” You shot up from your pillow, huffing and puffing. Another terrible nightmare plaguing your dreams. This time, it was the day your uncle was snatched from you. You, him and dad were journeying across an old rickety bridge when you were chased down by another group.
He fell off the bridge and you never saw him again.
You couldn’t go back to sleep now.
You got up and wrapped a blanket around your shoulders before leaving your room. You debated about entering Sanemi’s room but you couldn’t bring yourself to face him after what happened.
You just took a book and sat outside, on the porch. You sat in your rocking chair and lit the lantern on the little table between the two chairs before you proceeded to read your book.
You remember that Twilight used to be a popular book that all the girls used to read. You haven’t read it before so now would be a good time.
“Oh… (Y/n)..”
You nearly jumped out of your skin, thankfully it was only Mitsuri standing there. “Oh… hey!” You said, putting the book down. “Oh, are you reading twilight?” She asked.
“N-no…”
“Don’t worry. I actually quite like that book. I don’t care what others say, their love is true!” She said, sitting on her chair. You both sat in relative silence.
“So.. why are you up this late?”
“Yeah, not that they’re hard but I’m so used to sleeping rough, you?”
“Well, beds are quite hard to sleep on.. Y’know?”
“Yeah..”
The moon was quite lovely tonight. “Hey.. Mitsuri.. What was it like? Getting with Obanai for the first time?” You asked.
“Oh! So intimate!” She giggled.
“Please tell me..” You begged.
“Well, I must say, Obanai has always been strong in his approach. When we first met, he never left me alone. He was by my side everyday. We slept together, bathed together…”
She went quiet for a bit before she continued.
“The first time… was a bit.. Unconventional for me.”
“How so?”
“Well, sometimes. I get.. Bad dreams. I see my family as I see them leave me… i remember after one particular time, I cried for Obanai to comfort me but… he escalated things a bit…”
You felt your heart drop.
“But after a while.. I came to realize that was just part of his love language. He’s always been gentle with me… and he always lets me know how I’m the only girl for him”
Yeah, because she was the only vulnerable girl he could sink his teeth into and claim for himself.
.
.
.
.
Okay…guys.! Time for breakfast!” You entered the dog house, but none of the dogs were at the door. “Guys..?” You asked as you ventured into the next room where most of the dogs slept, most of them gathered by a singular dog who wouldn’t get up. It was Bruno, he was a St. Bernard who loved to eat cheese when he could.
He didn’t look well.
“Oh no…” You ran out of the house and scanned for your zombie man. “Sanemi! Sanemi!” You shouted. He came running at the sound of your voice. “What's wrong?!” He asked.
“It's Bruno..! He looks sick!” You cried.
You both ran back inside the house to see Bruno. He didn’t look well at all. “Bruno..! Hey buddy! Come on.. Bub! Don’t you want some cheese..?” He asked, but Bruno wouldn’t get up.
You and Sanemi stayed with him until he passed. Both of you are horrible upset, clinging to Bruno, hoping for the old guy to magically wake up. But he didn’t. You guys didn’t move until Obanai came and urged you both to give him a proper burial.
You all set out towards the windmills where you buried him facing the sunrise.

*sob* *whimper*
You couldn’t stop yourself from crying that night, you never knew what it felt like to lose a pet until now. Bruno was an extensive part of your family. Now he is gone, you’d never forget the slobbery kisses he would give you whenever you had cheese to give him. Heartbroken by the fact you’ll be able to pick up his slobber soaked balls after a game of fetch.
You couldn’t imagine how Sanemi felt.
“(Y/n)....?” Said the devil as he knocked before entering.
“Nemi..!” You rushed off your bed and over to him, you held him tight while expressing your sadness. “He was such a good boy! He was taken from us too soon! It isn’t fair!” You wailed. You couldn’t have anyone else leave you now. You didn’t think you could take another heartbreak like that.
“He was…. An old dog… He lived a good life. That’s all that matters.”
“Nemi…! Nemi…!” You looked up at him with tears in your eyes. “Don’t leave me..! Don’t ever leave me please..!” You wailed.
“Never.” He said as he brought you back over to the bed. You held onto him tightly for comfort, you just wanted to forget the pain, after your dad died, you promised yourself you’d never let yourself get attached to anyone else again. It's far too late to leave.
He removed his shirt and unbuckled his pants. You felt his hot rod massage itself on your covered pussy. You felt extremely wet down there and you didn’t know what to focus on, the pleasure in your body or the pain in your heart.
“I love you…” You heard him whisper as he removed your nightdress, pulling it off your shoulder and sliding it off your body. At first, you couldn’t comprehend what he was doing. He pulled you into a kiss and you deepened it. You just wanted to forget it all.
“I love you so much…” he whispered, pulling your panties down, off your legs.
“Tell me you love me… tell me you’ll never leave me..!” You begged, sobbing into his shoulder.
“I swear I will never..agh! Leave you!” He said, stroking himself.
“Nemi… if you leave me too… I’ll actually kill myself…!” you cried.
“If you died… I’d kill myself… I’d rather us both die then go on without the other..!” He said Somehow, his disturbed words made you feel better. He took off his pants and boxers, freeing himself of clothes entirely as you laid there, observing him in all his glory.
He had his eyes on you and only you.
And you loved it.
“Have my children (Y/n)...! Our babies would never leave us. They’ll never leave their precious mother. We’ll spend every day together. You, raising our children while I protect us from all the evil that would hurt us! We’ll be the perfect family!” He cheered.
“Yes…! Yes..!” You cried. If you were in your right mind, you would have refused. But you needed his confort. Something no one else would have given you. “I’m going in..” He said as you felt his massive cock intrude your folds.
“Agh!” You cried, not used to the intrusion. He went in slowly, breaking down your hymen walls and letting you sheath his shaft. “Agh… Oh (Y/n)... you have no idea how long I’ve dreamed of this moment..!” He cried. You could see tears peeking through his eyes, yet his mouth displayed a maniac-like grin on his face.
He looked like a psychopath in that moment but you help but give in to the feeling between your legs.
“We’ll get married..! We’ll have so many kids together and it’ll be all of us together! Nothing will ever get in between us!” he began to pump his cock into your cunt, and there you felt the waves of ecstasy over take your body. “AGH! Nemi! Oh Nemi!”
“And if someone had the balls- agh! To get between us..! They’d have to die!” She moaned, lifting your legs above your head while holding both your hands. “You'd be the same if someone tried to steal me away, wouldn’t you?!?!”
“YES!” You screamed, his balls slapping against you.
“I can’t wait to see you… your little belly swollen with our child, the perfect combination of us both! You know why they’ll be perfect?! Because they were born from our love! Two lost souls who found each other and made something beautiful! That’s what we’ll tell them!”
“Nemi! Nemi!” You cried. His words were everything you always wanted to hear, even if they sound delusional, it felt so amazing to be desired the way you do by him. “Nemi..! I’m! Something happening…!” You wailed.
“You’re about to come! Don’t worry, we’ll come together and it’ll be alright!” He assured as he quickened his pace. The faster he got, the more delusional he seemed to become, like it was all a dream to him that he would wake up from any moment. “I love you! I love you! Iloveyou! Iloveyou! ILOVEYOU! ILOVEYOU! I LOVE YOU!” He repeated like a broken record, only getting louder and louder until you felt an explosion in your pussy.
“Agh!” You cried.
“FUCK!” He roared as you felt him shoot his creamy white goodness into your cunt. It was then you came down from your high, you almost forgot to breathe. You felt his heavy breathing in your ear as sweat dripped off his body. “Incredible…” He whispered.
The blankets were thrown off the best as he laid down and cuddled you against his chest. “Your tears wouldn’t stop flowing. It was beautiful. Everything in that moment seemed so beautiful. Sanemi was no freak. Just a boy who was wronged by the world as were you.
Can i request for one where in reader can talk to animals and transform into any animal/creature but didnt know the extent of her powers so one time when the team was out on a mission and the team was fighting an enemy that would shoot out fire at random times, the team ends up having a hard time so reader thinks of a dragon and out of nowhere she becomes one shocking everyone...up to you how you can end it :)
The mission had started to get out of hand, hydra men coming out from everywhere like they’re just regenerating as quickly as the team were taking them out. They also had catapults that would occasionally throw flaming boulders your way. Soon enough though, you and the team were well and truely out numbered, everyone being tackled down and taken out. You needed to use your power for the greater good and it needed to be good. Constantly changing from a Rhino to a Jaguar to take out men was getting tiring and also vulnerable. You’re still unsure the extent of your power but being under the heavy influence of Game of Thrones, you decided to try your luck.
Dragons.
Whether you could become Toothless or Drogon, you couldn’t care less at this point in time, your only thought is to help out the team and knock out as many soldiers as possible. You picture what you want to become and before you know it, you’re becoming bigger and standing taller, feeling much more powerful. You shake off the soldiers that had tackled you and move one arm out to push people over.
The men started to come out like a war had just started so you take a deep breath in and breathe out with much more force. It all felt so natural, the fire within you comes out in an instant setting hundreds of men on fire. You turn to your teammates and lightly knock over the soldiers that had managed to take them down.
Once the men stop coming and all are laying dead on the ground, you calm your mind and return to your normal self, collapsing on the ground. It’s already exhausting enough constantly changing from one animal to another, yet taking on such a huge animal and it’s power. You lay on the ground and quickly your fellow team mates surround you.
“I had no idea that you had that in you, kid. Good work!” Cap compliments you and claps you on the shoulder. You breathe out heavily, “Same.”
Stark kneels down to you and grabs your hand to help you sit up. “I have to say that was pretty damn awesome, kid. You’re absolutely crazy but in a good way.” He laughs and you can’t help but crack a smile.
“I guess I’m no longer ‘the big guy’ anymore,” Bruce jokes.
You shake your head, “No, you can keep that, thanks.”
Nat and Clint laugh before grabbing one of your hands and pulling you to your feet. The three of you walk back to the ship laughing and making jokes about your incredible transformation. You start thinking, if I can change into a dragon - a mythical creature, then maybe I can—
Your thoughts are cut off when you start to change into a Griffin. Absolutely crazy but in a good way!
“We’re never going to see her ever again, y’know she’s Harry Potter obsessed especially with the creatures in those movies.”
Drabble: ”A fic request: Bucky/Reader/Loki pairing. Reader is a Sherlock level genius but she extremely silly and a daydreamer and Bucky and Loki are the ones that keep her grounded.”
Pairing: Bucky, Loki x Reader
Word Count: 1169
Warnings: none
They had never met anyone like you, no one had. In all honesty it was scary to see someone of your age as smart as Bruce, if not smarter. Your mind was constantly working, it’s gears running at full speed at every hour of everyday. Your keen eyes were one to quickly spot out something that was off, your mind immediately coming up with a formula to fix whatever was wrong. No challenge was too difficult for you. Well, expect for keeping still.
You didn’t know how else to cope with your whirring mind other than acting out. It wasn’t a bad acting out, just more of a hyperactive, hyperaware acting out thay often got you into trouble. Your jokes were constant, and not one person in the Avengers compound was safe from you and your energetic antics. But if you weren’t running around, your fingers nitpicking at things or itching to hold something, then you were zoned out, your eyes glossing over as you spent however long your mind allowed you to be off in your own little world. No one really knew what to think of you. One minute you could solve the most intricate puzzles, the next you’d be bouncing around the compound before you finally fell into a daze. No one really could figure out how to keep you sane long enough, until they showed up.
Bucky was the first puzzle, you soon figured out. His years spent in the dungeons of a HYDRA compounds left him scarred. He shielded himself from the world, but you were determined to crack the code that had rewired his brain, and to the chargrin of everyone else, you did. You had managed to find a way into his mind, but not with the ill intent to harm him, but to free him from the bonds they held him captive to HYDRA’s ways. Bucky found himself becoming curious about you, about how this seemingly random person was able to break his trance. But he wasn’t the only one to feel the same. Even after giving him peace, you still found yourself coming back to Bucky, but not to study his mind, but to study him. You found him calming, in a way. Even the rest of the Avengers noticed a change in your behavior as you began to stick to Bucky like glue.
You were less frantic, less prone to zoning out when you were bored. In fact, it seemed that Bucky had unlocked something in you, something that made your mind even sharper then it was before. His presence was enough to calm your constantly racing nerves, something that you had always hated. But he calmed you. He made you feel light and feathery, like a lone leaf that got caught in a cool spring breeze. You loved it. And soon you found that you loved him.
But when a new visitor came, one that was related to a certain Asgardian god, it put everyone on edge. Not only did the Avengers find themselves keeping an eye on their own backs, but they also watched your reaction to the mischievous god. You were finally level headed, in the clear from your frantic energy, and they didn’t want that to mess up because Loki didn’t know how to act. But they were surprised. They watched as the god merely eyed you, a glint shining in his eyes as he watched you muddle over your projects. He observed your behavior, catching how the slightest touch from the Winter Soldier seemed to keep you grounded and level-headed, bringing you back from wherever your mind wondered to. Your mind still worked at a million miles per hour though, your eyes catching even the slightest change in behavior and emotion, but your features remained stoic, free of any change.
Thor watched on, anticipation feeling his nerves as he watched his brother creep up behind you. He half expected you to react to the sudden presence, to reel around and attack Loki, but he knew you. You never were one to use your fists to resolve things, your mind was powerful enough to send even the most vile criminal cowering in fear. So when you merely glanced up to Loki, your eyes staring into his curios green ones, Thor felt a sigh of relief fall from him. To make things better for Loki, as well as you, Bucky was sitting nearby, his cold eyes staring blankly towards Loki, almost as if he was warning him to make a move against you.
You simply ignored the god, your eyes returning to your work as you kept silent. His presence wasn’t disturbing, oddly enough. Bucky kept a keen eye on him though, his fingers inching closer to one of your hands until you felt him tug against your fingers. His touch sent a shot of peace through your veins, the hairs on the back of your neck standing up when he gave your fingers anotner slight pull. This continued on for months. Loki standing by as he watched you work with Bucky lingering beside you, at least one part of his body keeping a protective hold on you. It wasn’t until his fifth month at the compound did its residents notice the serene aura that surrounded the three of you.
Some how Loki had weaved his way into your little group. Just as before you were calm, your eyes dancing around from one thing to another as you leaned into Bucky’s side, but you kept quiet. The Avengers had nearly forgotten your old behavior, constant movement or unrelenting chattering whenever you would sit upon the couch. Your usually glazed over eyes smiled up at Bucky, your head falling against his shoulder before you glanced to Loki. He too was sitting quietly by your side, his lip caught gently between his teeth as he watched the television. His hand was held tightly between your own, your fingers dancing against his knuckles gently. It puzzled everyone, to know that he and Bucky had the same tranquilizing affect on you.
The Avengers watched in awe at how grounded you seemed to be. The affect that the two men had on you was astounding. Though your antics had taken a complete 180 degree turn, you mind had seemed to evolve. You were more alert, more active in your head as you worked out problems that were seemingly invisible to the normal eye. No one had a clue as to how that worked, not even Bruce, Tony, or Vision. The Avengers had confided in Stephen Strange, but not even his intelligence could compare to the wiring of your brain. They didn’t push it more than they needed though. The longer you were in the presence of Loki and Bucky the better you seemed to get, and that made them happy.
If you were safe, calm and happy with the two, while still being able to help them, then they were happy too. And they refused to take that away from you.
A/N: So this is finally here! I have been working in this since I teased it to you guys and even though it just a little introduction for everyone, I hope you all love it. I might make this a series so let me know what y'all think. I literally did research for this like search actual courses at NYU, looked for apartment prices, but it was fun. Anyway, hope you all enjoy!

Masterlist
_____
You connect your phone to your bluetooth speaker as you prepare to clean your room. Moments ago your roommate, MJ, left with her girlfriend to go get the three of you dinner so you took the time to just blast music and clean. You are currently going into the fall semester of your Sophomore year at NYU where you are majoring in Biotechnology with a minor in Bioethics. You met MJ, who is majoring in Law with a minor in Law & Society, last semester in a Black Women in American History elective class where you two instantly clicked. It was something about her honest nature that drew you close to her. Upon becoming better friends with her, which was a task in and of itself, she eventually shared a with a piece of information that she didn’t give out willingly: she was bisexual. When she told you about her sexuality, though blunt, it seemed like at that time she was still getting used to saying it out loud, and the fact that you made her feel comfortable while she began to explore this side of herself was probably the ignitor to you guys moving into an apartment together, because you were the one she wanted to share all the new experiences with. You guys found a cheap one bedroom about 30 minutes from the University in which you have the actual bedroom because she insisted that she wanted her bed in the living room anyway. It took you two from mid-Spring semester through most if the summer working a paid internship in your respective fields along with a part-time job to make enough for the deposit, but it was well worth it. You two do still have to work those jobs to pay for rent and groceries and what not, but in the long run you’ll have a place that you two can stay even after you graduate.
Just as a song was ending you heard the front door open and close so pause your music and exit your room to the sight and smell of chinese take-out on the kitchen counter, but a lot more than the three of you would normally have.
"What’s with all of the extra food?“ You ask as you open a box of orange chicken and grab a piece, then smile at MJ’s girlfriend, Armani. You always thought she was really pretty, she’s dark skin with natural hair to die for, an athletic build that came with wider hips, killer thighs, and a little pudge on her lower stomach, and a beautiful smile that would warm the heart of anyone.
"I have a friend coming over. He lives three floors up.” MJ reaches around Armani and kisses her cheek while she grabs a carton and the chopsticks next to it then makes her way to the couch, Armani doing the same after grabbing 2 glasses and filling them with ice and water.
"How long has this ‘friend’ lived three floors up?“ You grab the carton of orange chicken and a fork from one of the drawers and sit on a pillow on the ground in between the two.
"Him and his friend moved in last month. A couple weeks after you two did.” Armani answers, then gracefully places some fried rice in her mouth. You look skeptically at MJ, but shake it off and take a bite of chicken.
"So, what does this friend of yours do?“ You stick your finger into one of your space buns and twist a section of it around it in and effort to maintain the coils, then trace the braid leading back to it, letting your fingers gently run over the gold hair cuffs.
"He’s majoring in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, uh- he’s currently in an internship program with Tony Stark- oh, and he’s not too bad looking-”
"Wait, he knows THE Tony Stark? Like Iron Man?“ You face grows a devilish smirk while you raise an eyebrow at this new found information, more for show rather than intended manipulation.
"Now, you and I both know that you don’t care about whether or not he knows Tony Stark. You don’t get starstruck like that.” You point your fork at her and give her a “Bitch you right” look before taking another bite of food. “I’m just trying to help your hopeless romantic ass.” Armani hits MJ’s thigh but before your able to retort there’s a knock at the door. You get up from your spot to answer the door, taking the precautionary peek through the peephole. All you see are doe-like brown eyes trying to peek through but once the person backs up you see cute white boy with short brown hair and adorably thin lips.
"If you see a guy with absolutely no lips, let him in.“ MJ calls to you, earning another smack from her girlfriend. You open the door and attempt to smooth out your pajamas which consisted of Nike Pros and an oversized T-Shirt that was unintentionally tucked in.
"Hi, I’m -uh- Y/N, MJ’s roommate.” You shake his hand and step aside so he can get inside.
"And best friend from what I hear. I’m Peter, by the way.“ Peter realizes that he already shook your hand so, having no idea what to do with his hands, he places them in his pockets, giving you a dopey grin. His build was somehow simultaneously skinny and muscular, being somewhat thinner than what you would usually want in a guy, but his muscle tone was out of this world, his tight black shirt definitely helping his case. He wasn’t to tall, not much taller than you, but at this point it didn’t matter. The way he looked at you was filled with such admiration that you’re surprised you didn’t melt on site.
"Hey Tweedle Dum, where’s Tweedle Dumber?” MJ asks Peter, ducking Armani’s hand this time, turning to her and stealing a kiss before looking back to Peter for an answer.
"Ned had to work. So it’s just me tonight.“ Peter gives MJ a sarcastic grin then turns back to you.
"Uh, what would you like Peter? You can claim teriyaki chicken, beef with broccoli…” You walk to the counter and turn to face where he was standing. He approaches the counter and grabs the teriyaki chicken, giving you a nervous grin. “You can have the chopsticks.” You hand them to him and he accepts then but with slight guilt.
"Y-you didn’t have to save these for me. I don’t mind using a fork or something.“ He tries to hand you back the chopsticks but before your able to insist, you two hear MJ’ voice from the couch.
"She’s only doing this because she doesn’t know how to use them.” Her face stays neutral for a second after calling out the fact before giving you her iconic shit eating grin. All you can do is give her the stank eye then turn back to Peter and shrug because she aint lyin’.
"Oh, well-uh-okay. I guess that means one day you’ll have to learn, and I wouldn’t mind teaching you.“ He chuckled nervously, his voice still containing a bit of a suggestive tone to it before heading over to the couch, grabbing another pillow and setting up on the floor on the right side of Armani’s legs.You stood in the kitchen for a moment, not knowing what to do after that smooth offer Peter just gave you that seemed a bit suggestive due to his tone.
"Hey Peter, do you want something to drink?” You ask as you head over to the fridge and finally look over at him, watching him grab some chow mein from MJ.
"Do you have Fanta orange soda?“ He looks over, but before you got lost in his eyes again you search through the fridge and find two cans, so you grab them both and make your way back to your spot.
“I didn’t know Y/N was into white boys?” Armani whispers into MJ’s ear, making her laugh a bit as she swallows the food in her mouth.
“She doesn’t completely have a preference, but the fact that she’s into generic White Boy™ over here is kinda surprising. But I wouldn’t have invited him if I didn’t think it would work.” MJ pats herself on the back then looks back up at her girlfriend, who sported a face with could make the hardest of criminals snitch on everybody they know. “Ok, I had know idea that this would work. But look, it is. So, let’s let it.” Armani chuckles at her girlfriend who was being uncharacteristically charismatic, then places her head on MJ’s shoulder.
Peter thanks you as you hand him his soda, giving you another sweet grin, then silently offers you some teriyaki chicken, in which you graciously accept by grabbing some and putting it in your carton. You do the same but he decline, which leads to the entire group distributing food until everyone had a good amount of each thing so you guys can finally begin watching your movie, once you decide what movie to watch, of course.
Hey. Just wanna talk…why am I not on the universal tag list. I feel slighted bc I’m missing these phenomenal ass pieces from your talented ass. Put meee ONNNNN
Warnings: fluff, cute banter between the avengers, mentions of abandonment
Summary: Reader calls every guy in the avengers ‘dad’ but they don’t know that.
A/N: this has been in my drafts for months, enjoy
Set after Age of Ultron
You don’t know when it started but now it’s a big thing. All the male avengers act like a real father, so naturally you secretly started calling them all ‘dad’. Of course you’d never called them that out loud, but you knew that you were okay to call them that. Your biological father was never your dad. He fell into the drugs and alcohol hole after your mother abandoned you. In the end, your father took you to New York and abandoned you in the middle of the night. It was better that way.
A day after being abandoned, three men picked you up and took you to be an experiment for HYDRA. Two years later, SHIELD picked you up and recruited you into the Avengers with your new ability; invisibility. HYDRA managed to make you invisible with your clothes on whenever you want. It was a privilege being able to disappear. After a rough childhood, you hated being centre of attention, you didn’t like talking to anyone and you didn’t want anyone to find you.
You and Peter visit Wakanda for a week on Avengers business, but what happens when Shuri and T’Challa decide to become matchmakers?
A/N: no warnings on this one, but I hope everyone is recovering nicely after that new Endgame trailer ;)
————————————————————
T’Challa’s hug is practically a choke hold, and you laugh as Shuri slaps his arm.
“Brother! You are going to suffocate her!” She scolds. “Let go!”
He does, and turns to his sister with a playful glare, but she takes his place and gives you a hug that is somehow more tight.
“Good to see you haven’t changed Shuri.” You chuckle and turn to look at Peter, who is taking your bags off of the jet. “How is everything? I heard in the news that your Vibranium manufacturing suffered from the snap.”
“Those reporting buffoons know nothing. We are fine. You, on the other hand-,” She tugs your arm, “-owe me tea. All of it. Every drop. Herbal. Green. How is everyone?”
“Everyone’s doing great.” You laugh. “Tony and Pepper’s kid is fit as a fiddle, Bucky got a new service dog named Pringles, and Scott proposed to Hope last month.”
“And how is Sam Wilson?” T’Challa hums and scratches his chin with a grin.
“Natasha spilled Italian Wedding soup on his crotch last week.” You laugh. “So he’s not getting too cocky.”
“Good to hear.” T’Challa laughs and turns. “Peter? How are you doing with the unloading?”
Pete looks up at you three and runs a hand through his hair. “Um…everything’s going fine Mr. Black Panther T’Challa…sir…Your Highness.”
Shuri looks at you with a raised eyebrow. “Is he teasing him?”
“No, he’s just incredibly socially inept.” You chuckle. “Just call him T’Challa, Pete.”
“T’Challa.” Peter corrects and slowly walks over. “Nice to meet you, sir.”
“The pleasure is mine.” T’Challa shakes his hand with a smile. “My sister and I are fans of the Spider-man.”
“Really?” Peter looks at him wide eyed and turns to Shuri, who nods with a laugh.
“My brother and I are curious if you stick to vibranium. Perhaps you could swing around the city sometime?” She winks. “For research purposes.”
“Sure!” Peter grins at you, and you chuckle.
“Is it alright if we find our rooms?” You turn to T’Challa. “We’d like to put our things away first, if that’s alright with you?”
“Of course. A member of the Dora Milaje will escort you.” He smiles. “Lovely to see you Y/N. We’ll meet up with you in Shuri’s lab in an hour or so.”
“Sounds great.” You smile, and watch as he walks away. You turn and look at Shuri, who is still standing beside you. “What are you up to?”
“Well I was going to escort you myself, but it seems as though that will have to wait. I have a meeting with a bureaucratic dickw-”
You hear T’Challa scold Shuri from somewhere behind you and laugh. “Sure. I’ll see you in an hour.”
Shuri runs off and you turn to look at Peter.
“You can stop panicking. They’re gone now.” You laugh.
“I wasn’t panicking! It’s just-they’re literally royalty!” Peter exclaims. “I don’t know how to interact with the king of Wakanda!”
“I once saw T’Challa walk into a window because he saw his crush.” You snicker. “Trust me, you don’t need to feel intimidated by him. He’s just a normal guy.”
“That runs a country!” Peter throws his hands up in the air as you walk. “And Shuri is literally one of the greatest minds on the planet!”
“Yeah, I can’t help you there. Shuri is pretty great.” You laugh. “I don’t know man, just imagine her as a younger female Bruce Banner.”
“I’m trying to be less intimidated, and your suggestion is to think of the Hulk?” Peter laughs. “Great. This is gonna be great.”
“I don’t know what to tell you Pete. I’d give you more basic advice, but I’m pretty sure the Dora Milaje will kill you if you picture either of them in their underwear.”
————————————————————
“She likes him, brother. I know it.” Shuri insists as she types away on her laptop. “You should read the text messages she sends me.”
“Let’s say she does like the spider-boy.” T’Challa sighs. “It’s still none of our business. We are not Y/N’s matchmakers.”
“You’re a genius brother!” Shuri claps her hands together and runs at him. “We’ll get them together!”
“That is not what I said and you know it.” T’Challa points accusingly at her. “Y/N and Peter’s relationship is not for us to meddle with.”
“You can stop trying to sound responsible, brother. You’ve made your point.” Shuri waves him off. “I am going to get them together before the end of the week!”
“Shuri, I really don’t think-“
“Hush, brother. I am not letting the stick up your butt ruin my ship. ” Shuri swats him away. “Either help or don’t.”
“I will help.” He fixes his collar. “But only so that I may watch you make a fool of yourself.”
“I still have that footage, and I am not afraid to show it to the Dora.” Shuri sasses, and hears footsteps coming. “They are here! Sh!”
You walk into the lab with Peter, only to find T’Challa and Shuri smirking deviously. You look at Peter, and over at them.
“Your scaring me.” You joke. “What’s with the demonic smiles?”
“Oh nothing.” Shuri waves you off and turns to her laptop. “I was just talking to my brother about shipments. Did you two find your rooms alright?”
“Okoye helped us out, so yeah.” You laugh. “Peter was terrified of her. I think he peed himself a little.”
“Y/N!” Pete elbows you lightly and you fall over him in laughter. Shuri grins widely at the two of you.
“Okoye can be intimidating.” T’Challa smiles at Peter.
“And?”
“That’s it Pete.” You laugh. “She’s the general of the Dora Milaje. You literally can’t not be intimidated by her.”
“You aren’t.”
“Ah yes.” Shuri smiles. “But Y/N has been visiting us for nearly ten years, since she was a little one.”
“I didn’t know that.” Peter turned to look at you quixotically.
“I practically lived here for a year when I was ten.” You smirk. “I told you this on the flight, but you were busy watching meme compilations.”
Peter blushed. “Sorry.”
“You’re fine.” You laugh and rest a hand on his arm, and Shuri screeches.
You spin your head, to find her typing on her computer.
“Did you just-”
“No.”
You and Peter frown at each other, and T’Challa clears his throat.
“Can you two go grab me my Kimoyo beads? I left them up there.” He points to the top of the spiraling walkway at the center of the lab.
“Sure.”
You walk away with Pete, and Shuri spins on her heels.
“Did you see it?” She squeaks. “She touched his arm! It was like the fanfiction you read on-“
“Do not even dare!” T’Challa glares at her. “You are going to make a fool out of yourself by doing this.”
“I will be Y/N’s maid of honor, and you, dear brother, will be locked in the freezer if you say anything to them about it.”
————————————————————
Shuri groans and slams her Kimoyo beads down on the table in the middle of the room.
“Hello to you too, sister.” T’Challa doesn’t look up from what he’s reading. “Rough day?”
“Nothing I do with them is working!” She exclaims. “I’ve tried everything! It can’t be done. My ship has sunk.”
“I’m glad you’ve finally given up on this.” T’Challa hums. “Now fork over your part of the bet.”
“No!” Shuri pouts. “My footage!”
“Don’t make me get mama! Delete it now! Accept defeat.” T’Challa raises an eyebrow at her. “You cannot do anything for them right now.”
“No! I will not give up on Y/N and Peter.” Shuri stands. “I have one trick left! And that is being straight forward with them!”
“What does that mean?” T’Challa frowns as Shuri runs out of the room. “Shuri? Where are you going?”
Shuri runs down the hallway and towards your room, ready to tell you to take your chance with Peter.
————————————————————
You groan and lean over Peter on the bed, lightly pressing your hips down on his in need of friction and tugging his hair slightly. His hands travel up your shirt and he sighs into your mouth.
The door to your room slams open and you leap off of Pete, looking to see Shuri standing in the door, staring at you and Peter wide-eyed.
“What is this?” Shuri exclaims. “You two are in here making out? Since when are you together?!”
“Oh…uh.” You rub the back of your neck and sigh. “Peter and I are dating. We have been…for like three months.”
T’Challa appears behind Shuri and crosses his arms. “Well, well.”
“Please don’t tell Mr. Stark!” Peter blurts and then looks at you apologetically.
“Are you telling me that I have been trying to get you two together all week, and you are already dating?!”
“I thought you knew.” You apologized with a shrug. “T’Challa knows.”
“What?” Shuri frowns and spins on her heels, to look a frightened T’Challa dead in the eyes. “You knew?”
You cringe. “Oops.”
“I told you that you couldn’t do anything for them!” T’Challa defends.
