Z4 Zeddison Post Someday Reprise:
“You know, I was worried that zombie-ing out was going to be it for us. Bye bye Zeddison, bye bye happiness, hello brains.” Zed muttered into Addison’ hair, face masked by the darkness of the cabin.
Turning in his arms, Addison brought her hand up to lightly stroke his cheek. “Zed, surely by now you know that this is something real. I’m not leaving you for things outside of your control. Besides, you’ve stuck by me as i’ve gone through several existential crises and haven’t gone running.”
Pulling her closer, the two sank back into silence. Both grateful that Willa and Eliza had insisted on giving them some space following the stress of the day.
Breaking the now comfortable silence, Zed stated I love you. I know we’re still way too young to really start making plans, but I hope you know I fully plan on marrying you someday.”
“Someday, huh? Someday sounds good. let’s maybe get through college first, but I fully intend on being Mrs. Necrodopolis a few years from now.”
Pressing a kiss to her boyfriend’s lips, Addison let herself imagine their future together. Three more year of college, a wedding, a house, maybe a couple of childen— and hadn’t this past week proven to be good practice for that, with Nova and Victor proving to be mini versions of them?
Pulling herself from her thoughts, she said “You know? I’m glad we ended up here. Like, this has been crazy, but somehow this chaos has actually made me feel so much more secure about just, like, life in general?”
Zed suddenly snorted. cracking a grin, he responded. “Totally. We’ve figured out how to prioritize the things that really matter, and got the answer to one of the biggest questions in any relationship.”
Laughing as the absurdity of their camping trip turned pseudo parenting unpaid counselor job hit fully hit him, he choked out, “Hey Addy, would you still love me if I was a worm?”
Cocooned in the darkness of the cabin, with the soft laughter and conversations of the teens outside filtered through the walls, all Addison could do was pull him into another kiss.
