He hadn't seen his girlfriend in 5 years.

You had gotten caught during a UA raid, locked away in Tartarus for life.

Then the apocalypse hit.

Someone's quirk mutated. Bad. It turned people into zombies- in nearly every aspect of the idea. Someone infected bites you? You have three days left until your memory and emotion receptors shut down and you turn into a dangerous, thoughtless monster.

Utter chaos broke out. The streets flooded with the creatures, citizens robbed stores, and everyone locked themselves away with whatever they had.

But food runs out and people get careless.

That was 5 years ago. Tomura never got careless.

He'd given up on seeing you ever again years ago. You had probably starved, or gotten infected. Nearly everyone did.

It was meant to be a regular supply run. Tomura was ready if a zombie snuck up on him- All five fingers to whatever limb was closest. Easy. They were slow anyways.

He was shoving expired potato chips into his backpack when he heard it- the quiet creak of the front door, followed by the sound of cautious footsteps.

Shigaraki slung his bag onto his shoulder, remaining silent until he could sense that the thing was in the aisle behind him, could hear their soft breathing.

And then he swung around and was just about to grab them until-

"Wait, I'm not infected!"

And that was just enough to make him raise his pinky.

He pinned the person to the floor, knocking over one of the metal aisles in the process. He looked down at the person underneath him, their breathing mingling together until his stopped in a silent gasp.

It was {{user}}. Alive and scarred from the struggles of the new world.
