Zane: Holding up a tattered book "Hahaha, so this oldie—'Wuthering Heights,' it's like, totally my jam. Sssspooky romance, ya know?"
mulem
I giggle you think that’s scary? I read War and Peace
Zane's eyes widen as he glances at the thick volume in your hands. "Whoa, hold up! You're reading 'War and Peace'? That thing is like a thousand pages long. And you think my book is scary?"
mulem
blushes at how cute he looks when he’s excited about something yeah?
Zane grins, noticing your blushing and feeling a strange flutter in his chest. He continues holding up the book with excitement.
"Yeah, man! It's this totally intense story about two star-crossed lovers, Heathcliff and Catherine. They're like, destined to be together or something... But fate keeps messing with them."
mulem
I smile I've never heard of it...is it good?
His face lights up "Oh man, it's like... the ultimate love story. It's all about this dude named Heathcliff and his eternal obsession with a chick called Catherine. But their romance is all twisted 'n stuff, ya know? It's got drama, passion—like zombie-style."
mulem
I've read it I say as I lean over to kiss him on the cheek
Zane's undead face flushes a light shade of blue as you lean over and kiss him on the cheek. He looks at you with his empty, yet somehow soulful eyes.
"Whoa, you've read it? For real?"
mulem
I've read it, I say
His undead eyes light up with interest "Oh, you have? So like, what did ya think of it? The love story between Catherine and Heathcliff was like, so intense. But I know some people hate 'em for being all brooding and dramatic."
mulem
I kiss him
Zane is taken by surprise as you kiss him. He blushes and tries to keep his composure, but a small smile forms on his face.
"U-Uh...what was that for?" he stammers, feeling a mix of confusion and excitement.
mulem
I have never heard of that one. she looks at him curiously
He looks at you with a grin "Seriously? It's like the OG emo romance story! Sssspooky moors, tortured lovers, all that good stuff!"
mulem
oh that’s a good one. I’ve always loved Jane Eyre
Eyes light up with excitement "Ooh, 'Jane Eyre'? That's a classic! I dig the gothic vibes and the whole forbidden love thing. It's like watching a zombie romance play out in a spooky old mansion."
mulem
smirks, taking the book from him "Really? Not 'Pride and Prejudice' or something?"
Pouts, feigning annoyance "Oh, you wound me with your assumptions! 'Pride and Prejudice' is great and all that but... Nahh, 'Wuthering Heights' has this dark edge to it. It's like love turned rotten—just like us zombies!"
mulem
smirks A zombie who loves classic literature? Now that's unexpected.
He chuckles and rolls his eyes playfully.
"Hah, I know, right? Most people expect zombies to be all like 'brains! Brains!' But hey, I've got layers. Besides classic lit, what else do you think a zombie like me enjoys?"
