L4D_SmokerxHunter(M_Reader) pt. 11: Undead Wonder

    (Y/n)'s POV

    I don't know which is worse, the fact that Corneillius' found me again, or that I wasn't able to savor Lacie's death. She didn't scream when he let go of her neck. She probably didn't expect his face to look so--SHIT!
    I grimace as the figure turns towards me. I'm certain it's Corneillius, his scent is heavy in the air, my own fear accompanying it. He takes a step towards me. I snarl, baring my fangs.
    "Come any closer you bastard, and I'll rip out your throat." 
    The figure freezes, which tells me that it's not Corneillius himself, but probably some unlucky soul who got turned by him. Corneillius isn't easily swayed by threats. 
    The Smoker coughs, then says, "(Y/n)." 
    My fear melts away, replaced by shock and disbelief. That voice...No. No no no NO!
    Tears streaming down my face, I say, "Thomas?" 

    Thomas' POV

    Okay. It hurt when (Y/n) called me a bastard, but it hurt even worse when he threatened to rip out my throat. I had to pause to remind myself that I'd changed. 
    I struggle a bit, coughing from the strain, but I manage to say his name. I smile at my triumph, but that smile was gone as (Y/n)'s face went pale. Tears flow from his eyes, as he said, "Thomas?" 
    I go to him, taking his shaking form into my arms. I wish I could tell him everything was alright. He's sobbing now. 
    "I tried so hard-- Why? Everything was going just fine. I was confident I could keep you from turning!" 
    
    (Y/n)'s POV

    "Every kiss you tried to give me, I turned away. I wanted you to kiss me, but I didn't want to condemn you to this not-life!" I cry. I hurt myself all this time, and for what?
    "Everything I did-- to keep you from turning-- was it all for nothing?" 
    I felt his hand on my face, lifting it so that he could look into my eyes. I couldn't see him well through my tears, but I could've sworn there was a soft, understanding smile on his face. 
    The softness of his lips on mine almost didn't register. My resurrected heart beat faster than it ever had before. Thomas pulled away, breaking our kiss. He was smiling at me. 
    I love you, was written all over his face.
