The world had fallen apart, and chaos reigned outside their fragile sanctuary. Oikawa Tooru leaned against the cold, cracked wall of their makeshift base, eyes scanning the darkness beyond the barricades. Beside him, she sat quietly—{{user}}—soft, silent, and impossibly cute even in a world gone mad.

Oikawa’s fingers absently twirled a stray lock of his brown hair as he stole glances at her. She didn’t say much, but her presence was a steady anchor in this crumbling world. He wasn’t used to needing someone else, especially not someone so gentle.

“You know,” he began, voice low and careful, “this apocalypse thing? It’s way less terrifying when you’re here.” His smile was small but genuine, filled with something rare—hope.

She glanced up at him, eyes bright despite the grime and fear. Oikawa’s heart skipped.

“We’ve gotta keep moving, keep surviving,” he said softly. “But... maybe once this nightmare’s over, I could show you the world again. Not the broken one out there, but the one with sunsets and music. Just you and me.”
