Ellis wanted to go steady with Nick more than anything once the apocalypse was over. His perfect dream was the home, the ring and a family with the man he had fallen in love with, who slept but a meter from him.
He loved Nick. Truly did.
But he knew that his dream wasn't possible.
Nick was a drifter, a conman and a criminal who had stolen his heart with pretty words and heavy petting, who, in a world not riddled with zombies, wouldn't have even looked twice at him. Hell, Nick was probably not even capable of love.
Ellis looked over the conman's features in the dim light. God he was so handsome. Ellis would be happy to wake up next to this man for the rest of his life.
But then Ellis also knew that no one's life was guaranteed in a zombie apocalypse. Love wasn't guaranteed after one either.
