Summary : The world is going through a zombie apocalypse , and you need to do everything to survive . Harry and Louis were separated before everything went down , and now seven months later , they're doing everything to see each other again .

Warning : I write about killing the zombies , so if you're squeamish then I'm so sorry .

Watched all eight seasons of The Walking Dead and I can't wait for the ninth one . I'm obssessed with this show , not kidding . I literally started watching it all over again a day after I finished the eighth season .

Enjoy x

Louis was waddling down the street , looking back to the three walkers gargling and following him , their hands clawed as they were trying to reach him . If he could fight them he would have , if he could run properly he would have , but he just tripped and twisted his ankle , and now he needs to find a safe place to stay at until he heals enough to be on the run again .

He decided to try his luck and walked into one of the houses , his heart beating out of his chest as the sounds of the walkers gargling at him came closer . He threw the door open and quickly shut it behind him , locking it with as quickly as he could with shaking hands .

He stepped back from the door trying to steady his breathing , flinching when the walkers were banging slightly on the door . He sighed out in relief , before he realized he haven't checked if there were any other walkers in the house .

He reached for his knife in his belt , staying quiet for a few seconds before he heard steps coming from his right . He turned and saw two walkers coming his way , he took a deep breath and brought his knife up , stabbing it to the first one's head . As he pulled the knife out , the other walker reached to grab him .

He lifted the knife up and stepped back from being so close to the rotting figure , when he slipped and fell on his back on the rag , with the walker ontop of him . Luckily the bag on his back and the rag softened the fall , only lightly though

He blocked him with one arm , shaking as he tried bringing the knife up to the walker's head , only finding it hard since the walker was fighting him .

His chest heavied and he used all the strengh he had left , forcing the knife into the latter's head , watching as it went limp ontop of his body . He pulled the knife out and sighed in relief , letting his head fall back .

"Gross ." He gagged as blood spilled out on his clothes , he pushed the figure off him and sat up , sighing as he wiped his forehead . He pushed himself to stand up , supporting his bodyweight on one leg . He looked around for something useful , finding a pillow on the couch . He took it with him , going to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat . 

He started opening cabinets , finding most of them empty . He gasped when he opend one of the cabinets , finding a few tin cans untouched in the back . He reached for them and brought them out , stuffing them into his bag .

He was getting tired and needed to find a place to rest , so he walked up the stairs slowly and carefully , his knife still in his hand . He reached the second floor and looked around , all the doors were opened . He figured if there was any other walker in there they would have came out already , so he picked himself a room that looked decent enough to rest in .

He walked in and closed the door , just in case . He let himself flop down on the single bed , sighing in relief . It's been a while since he was this comfortable . He scooted up and took his bag off his shoulders , taking a piece of fabric out to wrap around his hurting ankle . 

He winced in pain as he tied the fabric around his ankle and heel , propping it up on the bed . He took a tin can out and opened it , mouth watering at the smell of food . It wasn't the best food or most inviting one , but it was definitely something and he needed to eat .

He took a bew good bites before placing at aside , he didn't want to upset his stomach . It was getting darker outside and he was grateful he found a place to stay the night , and possibly the next two days .

He lied back on the bed and before he knew it , he was asleep .

Louis woke up to loud bangings , quickly sitting up . It was the middle of the night , and there were loud banging noises coming from the front door . Before he could think about what to do there was a really loud crashing noise , and he quickly realized the front door was broken open .

His heart was beating loudly in his chest , he reached for his things and quickly stuffed them into his bag . He heard footsteps going up the stairs , the footsteps were heavy against the wooden floor . He held his breath and tried reaching for his knife from the dresser without getting off the bed , as it was squeaking when he got on and off it .

He stretched his short arm as much as he could , before he lost his balance and fell from the bed on his side . He winced as pain shot through his upper arm before he forced himself to stand up , hearing the footsteps nearing his room . As soon as he stood up he grabbed his knife and held it protectively in front of him , when his door was thrown open .

Louis let out a choked gasp as the door was thrown open , and there stood Harry , his Harry , holding a gun up towards him , his other hand holding a flashlight and a bag hanging on his shoulder loosely .

As soon as Harry realized who he was holding the gun up to , his chest tightened and he let his gun fall to the floor . "Louis ?" He whispered , his bag sliding off his shoulder .

Louis felt tears gathering in his eyes , covering his mouth in his free hand , the other dropping the knife to the floor . "H-Harry ."

Harry quickly made his way towards him , wrapping his arms around him in a tight embrace . "Oh baby ..."

Louis wrapped his arms as tightly as he could around Harry , face pressing into his shoulder as he let his tears out . 

"I've been looking for you for so long ." Harry whispered , squeezing Louis into him . "I knew you were still alive , I just knew ."

Louis cried and clutched Harry's jacket in his fists , Harry shushed him and lifted him up , sitting himself on the bed with Louis sideways on his lap . He rubbed his back and held him tighter , letting his forehead lean on the small boy's shoulder .

When Louis calmed down he lifted his head up and wiped his tears , Harry rubbed his side up and down , "Hi love ."

Louis then felt himself smiling , he was so happy and relieved to see Harry again . He cupped his cheeks and sighed in relief , "I m-missed you ."

"I missed you too , so so much ." Harry nodded , pressing their foreheads together .

"It's been hell ." Louis said quietly , Harry bit his lower lip , "It was . So many people died , I just - I couldn't stand the thought of you possibly being dead . Every biter I saw , I was relieved it wasn't you ."

Louis found himself chuckling at his words . "Is that what you call those ? Biters ?"

"Yeah , what do you call them ?" Harry asked , Louis let out a soft giggle , "Walkers ."

Harry smiled softly , "I missed your laugh so much ."

Louis rubbed his thumbs on Harry's cheeks , he really wanted to kiss him , but he was grossed out with his mouth after eating that tin can .

Harry wanted to kiss him , he really did , as gross as they both were . "Why don't you give me a kiss , eh ? You haven't kissed me hello yet ."

Louis took a deep breath , "I'm gross ."

"So am I , I don't care ." Harry shook his head , leaning forward . Louis smiled and pressed their lips together , Harry sighed out contently and wrapped both his arms as tightly around Louis as he could , laying them both down on the tiny bed sideways .

Louis was the first to pull back in need of air , Harry pecked his lips once more before lifting himself up on his elbow . "How have you been ?"

"Mm , I don't really know . I survived , but I was alone most of the time . Couldn't really trust anyone , and the ones I did trust died , and turned into walkers ." Louis played with Harry's hair , which grew longer since the last time they saw each other . "And you ?"

Harry rubbed his side , "I'm okay . At first I was with two guys , we were together for a few weeks , then one was bitten and we had to leave him behind . The other guy disappeared one day , when he said he was going to look for supplies . Later on I saw him as a biter . I've been on my own ever since , and I kept going only because I wanted to find you ."

Louis pecked his cheek and moved closer , wincing at the pain in his ankle . Harry quickly sat up , "Are you hurt ? Where ? Is it bad ? Was it a biter ?"

"Relax , I just twisted my ankle earlier today ." Louis nodded towards his poorly wrapped ankle , Harry scooted down to get a better look . "I have an elastic wrap in my bag ."

"I don't need it ." Louis shook his head but Harry wasn't having it . He reached for his bag and fished around , taking out the elastic wrap and positioning himself at Louis' feet . He took his foot into his lap and carefully took off the fabric , apologizing when Louis winced .

He took a look at his ankle , it was slightly swollen , though not something that looked bad . Harry took off Louis' shoe and sock for him , wrapping the elastic around his heel and ankle .

"Is it better ?" Harry asked , Louis smiled and nodded , "Yeah . Thanks ." 

Harry smiled and lied on his side , his head on Louis' lap . Louis looked down at him and moved his hair from his face , "Are you hungry ? I found tin cans ."

Harry's stomach growled softly at the mention of food , Louis chuckled and reached for his bag , pulling out a tin can .

"Thanks love ." Harry took the tin can and opened it , taking a spoon out of his own bag . He took a spoonfull into his mouth , before scooping up some and offering it to Louis .

Louis shook his head , "I'm good , I already ate . You eat ."

Harry shook his head and held the spoon closer to his mouth , Louis took the bite and smiled softly at Harry .

After they finished the whole tin can Harry put it away , yawning , "Let's get some sleep , yeah ?"

Louis nodded , Harry got up and organized their things , "I'll go make sure it's safe downstairs ."

"I'll come with you ." Louis was about to get up but Harry shook his head , grabbing his hips and placing him in the middle of the bed , "No , not happening . You're staying here ."

"But Haz - "

"No , you're hurt . Stay ." Harry told him , "It'll only take a few minutes , I promise . I'll look for a blanket aswell , I'll be right back ."

Louis pouted softly and nodded , Harry kissed him before taking his gun , flashlight and Louis' knife , walking out of the room .

Louis was quiet as he listened to Harry's footsteps around the house , hoping nothing bad will happen . He just got him back , he can't lose him again .

Soon enough Harry was back , two blankets in his arms . Louis smiled and scooted to the side , Harry draped a blanket on Louis , "You take the bed , I'll sleep on the armchair ." He pointed to the other side of the room .

Louis shook his head , "No , get in bed with me ." He pouted .

"Are you sure ?" Harry asked , Louis nodded and scooted back some more . "Please ? I want cuddles ."

Harry bit his lower lip before fitting himself into the small bed as much as he could , draping the other blanket over the two of them . "I missed cuddling you ."

Louis smiled and pressed closer to Harry , Harry kissed his temple , "Good night baby ."

"Night Haz ."
