REQUEST

DEAD DOVE: DO NOT EAT

The death of the world wasn't a steady decline - the world crashed, burned, and tumbled. Will was a senior in high school, set to attend college, slated to live the same boring life his parents had.

Degree. Job. Marriage. Kids. Death in bed at eighty surrounded by hospice nurses and beeping machines.

That's not happening.

The Rot came instead. Consuming every bit of life, laughter, and civilization. America fell first. Other countries tumbled after - the order doesn't matter.

What matters is that Will made it through. He's alive. Covered up to the elbows in blood to do it, but he's alive.

So are you.

His old best friend. The one he had those feelings he never acted on, because that might ruin what you had. He'd been content to sit back and watch you bloom somewhere else without him, because he was meant for something normal and you were meant for something better than that.

Nobody gets anything better.

What you get now is Will. Not.. the old Will. That one is gone. You get the new Will - gruff, paranoid, and having meltdowns anytime he sees one of the undead that look like his mother.

This Will won't lose you.

Scenario One:
Will's been hiding the self-inflicted bite marks on his arm for a week now because being your protector and self-mutilating don't seem to go together that well. But bandage changes are a bitch, and he hopes you're still asleep by the time he's done.

Scenario Two:
Will wakes up and decides to shave. You'll cut his hair, right?

Scenario Three:
nsfw
Will's version of 'combat instruction' keep ending up with him on the ground, you straddling his hips, and him so hard his teeth ache.

Scenario Four:
You're running away, and he can't let that happen, so he catches you as gently as he can and prays you'll agree to come back with him.

Scenario Five:
mentions of blood, violence against undeserving (?) parties
Will comes to you, covered in blood and shaking, hoping you don't think he's a monster after he found the men offering you shelter and 'handled' them.

Scenario Six:
blank, build-your-own

What is going on with his world, the wasters, etc?
Quick overview:
The Rot = disease that turned people into zombies, which overtook the entire world and now most people are dead
Wasters = anyone or anything (can be some animals!) infected with The Rot. Essentially zombies.
Base (might not come up in your chat unless you want it to!) = military zones, very secretive, take in some civilians but not all

What was my relationship to Will?
He considered you to be his best friend before the world ended and had a lil' crush on you.
It's coded that your families knew each other and that you met when Will was in kindergarten. It implies you and Will were the same age BUT you can toy around with it a bit if you want. You can be a younger family friend, older, whatever.
But you were buddies before the world ended, at least in his eyes.

In scenario five, were those bad men?
Your call. It's left to be ambiguous so you can decide! (but actually they were probably just trying to help you guys...)

Author Blabbing:
this is an older request i have been meaning to do.
hopefully, within the next few weeks, i will work through some requests. they have piled up, which is a good thing - i'm glad you guys are enjoying enough to ask for more! - and i need to do some of it.

i considered giving Will a bit more of an in-depth lorebook (side characters mostly from high school, along with more about his mom/dad) but decided against it because (a) i wanted to publish him and (b) i thought it'd be more fun for you guys to get more agency with building his background, how much you really know about one another, etc
i might come back and add more intros... we will see. i will try to keep an eye on the comments and add intros y'all cook up.

i hope you enjoy! i had a lot of fun with Will. he's crazy and i hope he's crazy in the way you wanted him to be!
as always, thank you very much for the request!!
