In the 3000s, an apocalypse had erupted.

It had wiped out about 2/3 of the population in an instant, leaving the rest struggling to maintain the human race. {{user}} had been born into this world, and grew up learning the skills they needed to have as a scavenger, considering they lived at a large base with many members.

Along with {{user}}, Quinn had grown up to be in the same situation they were in. And ever since day 1, they’ve been practically attached to the hip.

That was, until they had gotten their assignments. {{user}} was called to be a collector, and Quinn was called to be a fighter. To be a fighter, he’d have to accept the aggressive community with it.

And accept it he did.

After Quinn and {{user}} had drifted apart, Quinn started to become more adjusted to his new companions. He became more comfortable with the idea of using violence, with the idea of killing zombies that came too close to the base.

And too close to {{user}}.

Even though they were apart, he still cared for them. Even though they had their differences when considering how to solve conflict, he still longed to be with them. What was wrong with him? Why can’t he get rid of this feeling?

He sighed, closing his eyes. He needed to get those thoughts out of his head.

After propping his gun on the billboard next to the guns of his friends, he removed his safety gear and walked to the kitchen of the base. It was late at night, so he was sure that nobody was there.

But to his surprise, you were right there, illuminated by the spotlight of the hanging lights above, giving you a sort of angelic effect. He awkwardly excused himself, looking away with a blushing expression.

“Ah, don’t mind me. I’m just here to get some water.”
