I don't own anything. Just the storyline.
Kurt's POV
Urgh. I wish my sleep would stop being interrupted all of the time. After my break down in front of Mercedes she makes it her mission to cheer me up.
So films (anything that isn't to do with love) and junk food (ice cream and popcorn) it was after the 4th film I eventually drifted off to sleep.
Well I was asleep until someone started throwing things at my window. I was sure that only happens in films, nowadays a phone call or text would suffice.
Huffing I eventually get out of bed to go to my window, I open it and look down. Well I'm sure this has to be a dream no way in hell would B be standing in my back garden throwing things at my window.
I turn to go back to bed, but a shout from the window stops me.
"K- kurt!"
No way that was B, he's a zombie for Christ sake he can barely speak let alone shout. But the stutter. I turn back and look out the window again; sure enough he is still there.
"Wait there I'll be down in a second." I stage whisper to him, I see him nod before turning back to my room. I pull on a top and my dressing gown, then head downstairs to let him in.
"What are you doing here?" I ask him as I drag him back up to my room.
"You l-left." B says sadly.
"Yeah, erm, I'm sorry about that." I apologize.
"We're ch-changing."
"Who?" I ask confused.
"Zombies."
"Really hate that word. Do you know that? You're just suffering souls. Anyway, what do you mean you're changing? Are you all turning into bonies?" I ask worried.
"No. Human."
"What do you mean human?" I ask, but before he has chance to reply I quickly interrupt. "You're changing into humans?" He just nods. "How?" He shrugs his shoulders and smiles slightly at the look I give him.
"S-sorry. Er, I dunno. Heart its b-beat-ting."
"Oh my god! B! This is brilliant news!" I shout enthusiastically, before I remember the fact that there are other people in the house. "We need to tell everyone." I stage whisper.
"Kurt?" Mercedes says through the door.
"Yeah, come in Cedes." I say as I drag B over to my bed to sit down.
"I was just wondering what all the noise was about." Mercedes says as she walks into the room. She freezes when she sees B sitting on the bed. "Is that…" She says with a smile.
"Yes, Mercedes this is B, B this is Mercedes." I introduce, they both say a quiet hello before I turn back to Mercedes. "Not that I don't love you Cedes but what are you doing here?" I ask.
"Oh, well by the time we finished watching films and you fell asleep, your dad told me to stay here, so I stayed in your guest room."
"Oh, I guess that makes sense." I say walking over to sit next to B.
"So… What are you doing here B?" She asks. B looks at me and I see that he wants me to explain.
"They are changing Cedes. He felt his heart beat, and I assume as he said 'we're' it means that its happening to others as well." I look to B for confirmation, to which he nods.
"But, what does this mean?" she asks confused.
"Its end-ding." B stutters.
"What's ending? The apocalypse?" she asks. B nods excitedly.
"We need to tell everyone, starting with my dad. It would be easier if we had proof, but that would mean taking B with us to the Army base as dad won't leave there for anything. But there is the small problem of getting across the busy town square without being caught." I think out loud.
"Well, he looks a little more human at the moment, if he has a shower, a change of clothes, and maybe some makeup, to give him more of a human colour, I think we could pull it off." Mercedes suggests quickly, excited with her idea.
"Of course!" I shout happily. Whilst B just looks confused and a little scared. "Oh, B what's the matter?" I ask concerned.
"You-you're d-dad is going to k-kill me." He stutters scared, looking at his hands in his lap. I reach over and grab his hands in mine.
"Look at me B, look at me." I plead until he slowly lifts his head and looks into my eyes terrified. "He's my dad, he wont do anything that he knows will upset me. I will protect you." I say softly. He gives a small nod to show that he is going to help with the plan.
"So, lets get going." Mercedes reminds us of her presence.
Blaine's POV
I had forgotten what it felt like to have a hot shower.
The scolding droplets cascading down my body at a rapid pace, loosening my muscles as they go.
The closest I have come to a shower in what feels like forever is when it rains, but that just makes my dead cold skin even colder.
The best thing about this shower is it warms my skin up and makes me feel a little bit more human.
Of course it is also good as it is washing any blood and muck that is on my skin off. And a big plus is I don't smell so vile anymore.
"Are you okay in there B?" Kurt shouts through the door of his en suite.
"Yeah." I shout back as loudly and clearly as possible.
"Okay, I picked some clothes out for you, they're on the bed, I'm going to go to the guest room with Mercedes. When you're dressed, come and find us, I'll leave the door open so you know what one we are in. Okay?" He shouts through again.
"Yeah." I repeat.
I hear shuffling outside the door and then the sound of the bedroom door shutting.
After a while I decide that its probably best I get out of the shower and get dressed, there's no point avoiding the inevitable.
Stepping out of the shower I grab the towel hanging up and wrap it around my waist. I wipe the steam off the mirror with my hand and look at myself for the first time in a very long time.
I can see that I am clearly a zombie as my eyes are a slightly different colour; one might say they look dead. My hair could use some serious TLC and my skin colour is a lot lighter than the tanned skin I had as a human.
However I can see that I'm starting to change once again.
There is a slight colour in my cheeks where the blood keeps pushing through my veins after being dormant for so long.
I sigh and walk into the bedroom to see a pair of skinny black jeans, a light grey polo top and a blue jacket. On the floor by the bed are shoes that look at least two sizes too big, which explains the 3 pairs of socks next to the clothes along with a tight black briefs.
I dress quickly, folding up the too long trousers at the bottom and rolling the sleeves of the jacket up so that I can use my hands. Clearly these are Kurt's clothes. I don't know why that thought makes my stomach flutter but it does anyway.
I walk out into the hall slowly and look left and right until I notice a door to my right is open.
I can hear Kurt's and Mercedes voices faintly but I continue walking towards the room until Mercedes says something to Kurt that stops me dead in my tracks.
"…That's why you cannot be in love with a zombie." She says to Kurt.
"Well, I am, and there is nothing you or I can do about it okay?!" Kurt says defensively. Wait. Love? How can he love me? I'm a zombie. A zombie that killed his boyfriend. This makes no sense.
"What is you're dad going to say. You cant just go up to him and say 'you know that zombie that kidnapped me? Yeah well I love him.' Don't you understand how this would never work out?" she tries again.
"I love him, and I'm willing to do anything to make it work. No one ever said love is easy Cedes." Kurt says quietly. I decide I've heard enough and walk a little louder towards the room so that they are aware of my presence.
"You look much better, but I still think you need some make up. Come sit over on the chair and I'll make you look like a human." Mercedes says with a smile as I walk into the room.
I follow her instructions and then look at Kurt across the room, who looks away as soon as our eyes make contact.
Well this just became extremely awkward.
Mercedes gets to work quickly, but the room remains silent.
"There, done. And you look very handsome if I do say so." Mercedes says with a wink.
She leads me over to a mirror and I see that she is right about the make-up. It's almost impossible to realize that I am a zombie, unless you look closely and see my eyes.
"Lets go." Kurt says standing up and heading to the door.
"If anyone says anything to you, remember to act human." Mercedes says as we walk out onto the street.
"Okay." I reply quietly.
We walk quickly across the town, which despite the hour is busy. We are nearly there when someone stops Kurt to talk to him.
"Where are you going at this time?" The soldier asks with an extremely deep voice.
"To see my dad. Is that okay?" Kurt asks sassily.
"Yes, I suppose. Who are your friends?" He asks looking at Mercedes and especially me suspiciously.
"Seriously, what is with the Spanish inquisition?! We really need to get going, so if you'll excuse me." Kurt says annoyed walking around the soldier and into a large building.
"What's your name?" the soldier asks me as I walk past him. "I don't think I've seen you around before."
"Hello, my…erm…my name is…er… B, what's yours?" I try and fail to act like a human.
"Come on, B." Mercedes says grabbing my arm and dragging me into the building.
The building is clearly their base as there are guns everywhere and huge cars and vans lined up all over.
Mercedes continues to pull me in the direction of Kurt, but quickly pulls me behind a truck and hisses at me to 'be quiet' when I try to question it.
I hear Kurt speak then.
"Dad, can I speak to you please?" he asks.
"Do you finally want to tell me the truth?" a man with a deeper voice asks distracted by a gun in his hand.
"I told you the truth, but that is kind of why I came to see you. I suffering soul, I mean zombie, came to see me and he told me something that you might want to know."
"What?!" Kurt's dad shouts. "You met up with a zombie?! I hope you killed it. They're not people Kurt, you can't just be friends with them!"
"He is a human. If you would just let me speak for a second I will explain." Kurt shouts back, before taking a deep voice and continuing. "The zombies are starting to turn into humans, their hearts are beating dad. I witnessed it with my own eyes."
"I don't care what you think you witnessed, they all need to be killed. Now take me to this so called zombie that is changing."
"No, because I know you will try to kill him, and I cant let that happen."
"I will not ask ag-"
"He's telling the truth." I interrupt as I walk over to Kurt.
"B! What are you doing?!" Kurt hisses at me.
"Sir, we are changing, I am proof of that and many more zombies are also proof of that. Love is turning us. That's all it takes, we just need to love and be loved, and then we can reverse what has been done. We need to stand together to fight the bonies, you cannot do it without us I promise you that." I say to Kurt's dad, whilst ignoring Kurt.
"You're the zombie!" He shouts at me. "You will not tell me what I should do, but I will tell you what I am going to do, I'm going to kill you then continue with my plan to kill the rest of you. You got it?" He says angrily before raising his gun, a shot is heard, and then everything goes black.
