Clint is woken up by her loud cursing and now they're in it together, both figuratively AND literally. #27 IKEA by @nympheline Teen, post-Avengers, angst: Clint and Natasha will never have normal lives. They have accepted this as fact. Once a month, they pretend by putting on some old rings and going to Ikea to pick out furniture. Or to Home Depot to look at paint samples.

Rotting - [BTS] Halloween!Jungkook Au

[A/N] Please don’t associate my zombie with the kinds that you see on tv or the ones you read in books. It will be slightly different than what you expect.

My name is Jungkook. And I’m a zombie.

Location? The morgue. Jungkook was awakened by a spell. And prior to his wake, he had flashes of his past life.

A voice I can’t remember whom from. Her laughter and taste of her lips, seem to be the only thing that is human to me. I know my name was Jeon Jungkook from the tags they tied on my right toe when I pushed myself out of the metal locker made for the dead. I was losing consciousness every now and then.

Stumbling through the empty hall, lit by a flickering light bulb. Besides my name, and the girl in my head, I had no other memories. How I died, who my family was, where I’m from. Nothing. My nails are blackened from the lack of blood, and my visions are hazy. My wrist were bruised and my toes stiff..

My steps became wobbly as the time passed and I made it outside. I saw the sun, but the heat didn’t get to me. I was slowly losing senses. But I was sure of one thing. That girl that remained in my memory must have something to do with me. Walking barefooted, people avoided me. I saw my distorted reflection in the mirror by the traffic light and understood why.

Oddly, no one seemed bothered to call the authority. A simple glance to the large screen explained to me why.

“An epidemic of plague.”

“A zombie like movements.”

“Non contagious. So far.”

Maybe they thought I was having a plague. But really, I came from the morgue.. Have they not realized that zombies do exist? Me. My steps are getting heavier. It was getting more and more difficult to synchronize my movements. I shut my eye and clung to the pillar closest to me and tried to remember how she looked like.

If before I could see the shape of her clavicles and the eyes, now, I could hardly process the images before me. My feet is now directing me to a street. I let it take me where it wants. Maybe it would lead me to her. Whoever she is. “My name is...J-jungkook.” I stammered.

My voice were muffled. My lips are heavy and tight. I’m breathing through my mouth now. Wow, it reeks death. How long was I dead?

The words on the road doesn’t look like words anymore. They float and all jumbled up. I shake my head in an attempt to regain my lingual skills but to what extend? Zombies can’t read. Zombie shouldn’t be able to read. I was running out of time.

Before I completely loose the ability to speak, read or recognize a face, I should see her. I have no idea why, but if she was the last memory I had, alive, I should at least tell her I’m here, don’t I? Sort of. Will she freak out though? Should I changed to something better? I don’t even remember where my house was.

Wait.

I shut my eyes once again and this time I heard my own laughter. And hers, conjoined. I was spinning her around a living room it seemed. I remembered pinning her down on the bed, the next flash. Then I saw her folding the laundry while I changed the channel. We lived together?

I’m hungry.

With my speed, I won’t be getting there anytime soon. I looked like a drunkard and before I know it, I was grabbing a stray cat by the neck and was gobbling half of it down my throat without noticing. I rolled to a plastic and ripped the top apart with my teeth, to rinse my mouth.

Disgusting. It tasted awful.

But I have to eat. I was hungry. Really hungry. Standing by a staircase leading up a semi-abandoned apartment, I heard a glass bottle broke. So I snapped my head around to the direction of the sound.

She had a huge set of eyes. Her lips, parted slightly and I get flashes of how it tastes like, again. But I know my current circumstances wouldn’t make her want to kiss me. I smell like death, look like death and even walked like death. Was the hell full?

She approached me slowly. Tears pooling in her eyes. She recognised me. I felt a thud in my heart that wasn’t beating before. She tugged them. She extended her hand hesitantly, and tears fell on each side of her supple cheeks. The one I remember kissing. Upon sliding her hand down the side of my face, the contact she initiated had given me another plunge of memories I don’t remember having.

I groaned away. She recoiled her hands. I sounded like I was angry. I huffed harshly. That’s not what I intended, but things are getting harder to control now. “What have I done...” I heard her say, remorsefully. Have I been wrong? Was she not what I remembered her to be?

She helped clean me. Brush my teeth for me. Put a set of new clothes for me. But I know I still smell bed. My flesh are rotting. Just not yet. I opened my mouth to speak but she turned away to grab an album. When she flipped them open, I saw my face. Of what I used to be.

We were... married.

“That’s you.” She sniffed. And I saw her tiny smile from the corner of my eyes. She was still wearing the wedding ring. And so was I. In my rotting flesh, I found out that I was a married man. And the last memory I had was my wife’s face. Another thug in my heart. Can a zombie be human again?

Clearly, I shouldn’t have died. My wife widowed and from the toddler bed, it seemed that we were expecting. I felt horrible. “I bring you back to life because I missed you.” She admitted. She hugged me. Really tight. I was conscious about the smell that I might have but she didn’t care when I resisted her.

Her scent. Was delicious. The way a healthy skin of a human felt, supple and full. I closed my eyes in order to memorize her. Her everything. I was taken back to the times when I was living. I kissed her lips at every chance I could. Hugged her before we part. Whisper how much I love her. Bed her, loved her, cared for her.

But then, I had to die.

I still can’t remember how.

She pushed me lightly away, and wiped her tears angrily. “Turn me.” She said. What does she mean by that? Turn her to what?

A living dead? Like me?

She said a kiss longer than a minute would change her. She said she didn’t want to live a life without me. It’s been three months too long. A life without me wasn’t worth fighting for. And in dire desperation, she cast a prayer that resulted in a creation of a wretched being, disapproved by God; Me.

I couldn’t say a word in return because she had her lips fully on mine in a split second. It was as if I was human again. Teeth clinking, harsh bites on the lips, tongue dancing in our liplock. I was entirely mesmerized. I missed her so much. I could feel my soul just wet from her touch. I was...alive.

The memories came rushing in. Flawlessly. The nights we spent with each other, hungry for love and touch, lust in our voice and nail marks. Our quiet mornings, the blissful aftermath and the sores that comes with pleasure we inflict on ourselves. I missed it.

I protected her till the end.

An open road. She ran without looking. I pushed her off the grid and the lorry strucked me.

That was how I died.

A fool in love. A women worth dying for? But I realized one thing. She was alive. And I wasn’t.

She had to live. I didn’t.

I repelled from the addictive kiss eventhough I reckoned for more. I didn’t want to do it. I don’t want to changed her into me. The dead must die. The living must live. With my tumbling words and growling voice, I took the pen from the table and forced her to strike me in the heart.

She cried, “No.” Over and over again. So I had to say something.

“If you love m-me, you’ll let me go.” I shakily took her wrist so that the pen goes right to my chest. “I can’t.” She breathed, her eyes pleading me. “I’ll wait for you... I’ll wait for you.” I repeated. I don’t know what else to say to convince her.. I wanted her to love someone. I wanted her to be loved.

I wanted her to move on.

I don’t want her to love the me that is already dead. I am very much alive in her heart and that was all I could ask for. She didn’t have to do this. She didn’t have to go against the order of the world and brought back the dead. I will always love her and I will continue to love her.

That was how I died, knowing.

She wouldn’t stab me. So I had to stab myself. She roared “No!”

But I disintegrate into ashes as I should be and disappear. The order is now in session.

The plague ended.

All because I, who wasn’t supposed to live, lived and died in the hands of my lover. There are things in life that shouldn’t be crossed. And these are necessary to keep the order going the way it should.

I don’t lose her. And she doesn’t lose me.

I only had to wait. But she needs to keep going. This was fate. Our fate.
