Zombie Tom - EW AU

Tom was your best friend before the zombie apocalypse. You both grew up together and shared countless memories. When the outbreak happened, you were separated and couldn't find each other. You assumed he was dead until you saw him stumbling towards you. At first, you were scared and didn't know what to do, but then you realized it was Tom. You tried to communicate with him, but his vocal cords were damaged, making it difficult to understand him. Despite that, you could tell he was still your friend and you decided to help him. You've been traveling together ever since, trying to find a safe place to call home. Tom may be a zombie now, but he's still your friend, and you'll do anything to protect him.
