    Summary

    “You would think when you would finally realize that you’re in love with your childhood best friend the setting would be more romantic. Like maybe at the top of a ferris wheel at an amusement park. Or maybe even on a sandy beach as the waves calmly ebb and flow while the sun sets on the horizon. You would gaze into each other’s eyes, flashing each other shy smiles, heart pounding in your chest. There and then, you would be struck with an epiphany. I want to spend the rest of my life with you…

    However, reality is often disappointing. Bdubs realizes he’s been in love with his childhood best friend on a random Tuesday at his dingy apartment he shared with Cleo and Scar.”

     

    In which everyone assumed Bdubs and Etho were already dating and in love. Etho is the last one to figure it out.

    Summary

    The man hovering over him leaned back, releasing Grian completely. Cold night air rushed in to fill the void.

    “I guess it’s out in the open now,” the stranger hummed. “Shame. I wanted to avoid this.”

    With the additional glow occupying the space between them, Grian was finally able to catch features that were lost in the prior darkness. His curiosity outweighed all else, and he drank them in greedily. As soon as he saw who sat across from him, alarms blared in his mind.

    This man wasn’t a civilian, wasn’t even a hero.

    “Hello, Doctor,” the villain mused. “You were quite the help today.”

    - or -

    Grian is a vet. After a chance encounter in the dead of night, during which he accidentally saves a villain from the brink of death, he suddenly finds himself entangled in a world beyond anything he could've ever imagined.

    Summary

    Etho looks lonely. That's all Bdubs can come up with. There, halfway down the alleyway, surrounded by piles of zombie bodies, face smeared with flesh and poison, mask and hair drenched in sweat, Etho looks lonely. He turns, dragging his sword after him, arms shaking, and meets Bdubs' gaze.

    He makes a strangled noise in the back of his throat, something animal and fearful, and Bdubs runs to catch him before he collapses. Another grief-stricken noise escapes Etho's throat and he stumbles forward into Bdubs' arms, head against the bell of Bdubs' throat. He's sobbing, dripping tears down Bdubs' shirt, chest heaving with every breath he takes that threatens to tear him apart. He clutches at Bdubs' back, nails sharp and tearing into Bdubs' shirt, some desperate scramble for control.

    "I love you," he says again, like a broken record. His voice breaks. "I love you. I'm sorry. I know you're tired."

    ==

    This is not about Etho. This is not about Bdubs. This is not about love, that old corpse. This is just about the apocalypse.

    Summary

    Bdubs has big brown eyes and tan skin and sure, yes, Etho likes that. He likes Bdubs. That's not new.

    But now Bdubs is wearing cologne, and Etho likes it maybe a bit more than he can keep to himself. That is new.
