FLESH AND BONE (Zed X Reader)

"Test patient zero, you are now allowed to come in," I say as I hold down the speak button.

A zombie walks into the testing room. The walls are all gray with the lights of a hospital.

I feel bad for any zombies that wants to partake in this trial. This lab is not homey at all. I don't want the zombies to feel timid in this place.

"State your name."

"Zed."

"Are you comfortable with myself and my team to exam you before we start the trials?"

"Yes."

I turn to my team and encourage all of them to go. Since this zombie-I mean Zed has his Z band on, he is safe to interact with. I slip on the safety gloves. Then I put on my safety mask. I open the door to the testing room and walk inside. My team is already checking Zed's vitals, eyes, and mouth. I walk over to the group, handing them another tool they need.

"So Zed, tell me about yourself." I want to get him distracted, that way he won't be afraid. Although, he does not seem afraid of us at all.

"Well, I am a senior at Seabrook High School."

"That's cool! I go there as well. Are you in any activities?"

"I play football."

"Oh, you're our star athlete."

"How come I have never seen you around?"

"I don't go to school most days. I spend a lot of time here."

"How come?"

"This internship means everything to me. This will look good on my resume and it gives me a better shot at getting into Mountain Brook College."

"No way! I want to go there too."

"What are you going to major in?"

"I haven't thought that far. All I know is that I want to play football there. What about you?"

"I am thinking about double majoring in biology and chemistry with a double minor in physics and psychology."

"That does not sound like much fun. Why that?"

"I want to be a doctor and all of those will be on the MCAT to get into med school."

"You seem really driven."

"I really am, I want to help people."

"How did you get this internship?"

"My aunt pulled some strings."

"Who's your aunt?"

"The mayor."

"You're Addison's cousin?"

"Yes, how did you know?"

"She is my ex."

"Oh, you're the guy she cried over for the past summer. She is determined to get back with you this semester just giving you a heads up." Even though Addison is one of my only friends, I never paid any attention to her whining about some guy. Men are a waste of time. It's 2023, we don't need men anymore.

"She is already trying. I just can't forgive her after she started showing interest in another guy."

"I'm sorry to hear that. The good news is, your examination is over."

"Is that it?"

"Now that we know your health conditions, we can start preparing for what we want to do to you tomorrow now. Have a nice rest of your day. Get lots of rest for Tuesday. Also thank you so much for wanting to be one of our test subjects."

"Of course, thanks for the help!"

The Next Day After the School Day

"Y/n are you still working on the lab? You seriously need to take a break," says Bri.

"There's no time for breaks, I gotta get this planned out for today."

"You need to come to the party tonight to get your mind off of this," adds Addison.

"I don't have time for that. I need to work for my future."

"Your future can wait a little," says Addison.

Addison and Bri help me up. They start to pull me to the parking lot where we get into Bri's jeep. I am helpless at making any decision. I decide to just buckle up and hope this party doesn't involve underage drinking since I am the responsible one in this trio.

A/N: Hey everyone, I am so happy to be back. I did have on announcement since a lot of you are wanting a Someday 2. I gave my best attempt at reviving that story but unfortunately, I do not think it will ever happen. Y/n and Milo's lives were going to end up growing apart and eventually breaking up so I decided it was best to just leave the story where my sixteen year old self decided to leave it at. I hope you guys like this little teaser of what's to come with this brand new story. Also if the Disney Plus show Doogie was your thing... Nico might just be coming around very soon.
