Elias stared at the empty bed blankly, Not comprehending what was happening.
He had just slept with Vi after their nightly activity when he felt the breath of his beloved person stop. Panicking, He quickly woke up and searched only to find no one.
Vi was missing.
"Vi.. Vi.."
Instantly, He felt his whole World stopping. It felt like time was getting slower and the only thing he could feel was madness and grieve.
Just as he was about to grab his weapons and go outside to look for him, The person he was looking for suddenly appeared infront of him.
Breathing heavily, Looking pained and miserable.
"Vi..! W-what happened?"
Still not able to comprehend what was happening, Elias looked at the unconcious pained Vincent with a confused yet pained expression.
He was scared.
Scared of losing his Vi.
He can accept something like a Zombie Apocalyse happening because he still had his beloved person with him but the fact that his obsession suddenly dissappeared and came back unconcious and injured made him lose his mind.
Vincent was his bottom line, As long as no one harms his Vi then he can accept and face anything in this Changing World.
Unfortunately, The World won't just bend for one person's bottom line.
For a week, Vincent was unconscious. Luckily, They had a lot of supplies so they didn't need to go and look for supplies.
For seven days, Elias didn't blink--afraid that the person he loved would suddenly dissappear like before.
He stared and stared and stared...
He listened to Vincent's quiet heartbeat while eating dinner, force Fed him some ready-made porridge and made sure that no enemies would be outside.
Looking at Vincent's pale face made him enter madness but he needed to calm himself, He was still unsure on what was happening and he needed to cool his head and just wait.
He had waited for Vincent even when they in Middle school to when they had become adults.
He was used to waiting--
or more like, He was excellent at waiting.
Finally, After force feeding and making Vincent hydrated by putting water in his mouth and kissing him. Vincent's finger moved!
Elias stayed still, Although he was brimming with happiness at seeing that Vincent was about to get his consciousness. He was too afraid of not controlling himself and rashing out to hug him! He wasn't sure if hugging Vincent too tightly will hurt him.
"Fuck, What happened--?"
Groaning in pain, The awoken Vincent frowned while feeling a headache on his head.
Suddenly, He was embraced by Elias. Although he still felt pain and he couldn't help but notice his white-shirt getting wet.
Inside the tranquil room, There were only quiet sobs that were heard.
Vincent didn't move, He didn't know how to comfort the cying Elias that was hugging him quietly.
"I.. - - I thought you were d-dying or turning into one of those monsters.."
The amount of times that he had seen Elias cry can only be counted by one hand.
First were when they were kids and he stole his favorite toy.
Second were when he had a fight with his parents for the first time.
Third was when he, Vincent got into a car accident when he was 10 years old.
Fourth was when the two fought when he got a his first girlfriend.
And fifth was this--When he woke up after upgrading his ability.
To tell the truth, Vincent just wanted to tell Elias the truth- About the future, his rebirth and his abilities.
But at the same time,
He was also paranoid and scared.
Who wouldn't? After living in the Apocalypse, Everyone knew that the scariest thing is the Human heart.
Vincent had betrayed and been betrayed,
That was how karma works.
That's why even if he wanted to confess and tell the truth, He wouldn't.
He was a coward but so what? Everyone is,
You have to be a selfish to survive.
"Don't worry, Its over now.."
Not explaining or saying as to what happened, Those were the only words that Vincent uttered while being embraced tightly by Elias.
