A Love That Happened Pre-Z (Murphy X Reader) (Z-Nation Fanfiction)

Love Like That

You were next to Warren and Murphy was at your side. She looked over at him and asked,

"How'd you two end up together Pre-Z?" I looked at her and Murphy said,

"I told ya. I was a chick magnet Pre-Z." I slapped his chest, playfully, and he made a funny noise, as I said,

"We grew up together."

"Same town, two people in love...I know the story." Warren said, smirking at me. I rolled my eyes and she looked up at Murphy, saying,

"You two really are in love." I nodded and Murphy smiled down at me, saying,

"Yeah."

Warren's POV

I looked at Murphy and he looked at (Y/N), smiling. Just from the look in his eyes, you could tell, he truly and surly loved her. More than he could possibly explain. More than anyone could explain. The way she looked at him, explained the love they shared for one another and no words could explain their relationship.

"(Y/N), hang back for a second." I called, making her pause for me. Murphy staying by her side as well. Humming, she looked at me and I looked over to Murphy, saying,

"I need to talk to her alone...if you don't mind?" Murphy looked at (Y/N) and she squeezed his hand, nodding. Hesitating, Murphy nodded and left us, glancing back one more time before completely walking away. Looking at me, (Y/N) ran a hand through her hair, saying,

"What's up, Warren?"

"So, you two really do love each other?" I asked, becoming curious. Chuckling, she walked with me and answered,

"We were together our entire life...What can I say? I fell in love with the guy next door. He got arrested, our son was killed, then all hell broke loose."

"Son? You had a son?"

"We had one son, Timothy. He was-"

"Memories should be left in the past. Him being dead, is better than him living in this world." Murphy interrupted, sounding upset and pulling (Y/N) away from me, causing her to sigh. Watching them, I noticed Murphy's arm wrap around (Y/N)'s waist and (Y/N) leaned into him, looking up at him.

Reader's Point of View

Looking up at him, I leaned into Murphy and he wrapped his arm around my waist. Smiling down at me, he hesitated and started,

"I'm sorry about that (Y/N)..."

"It's okay, Murphy, it's hard for me to talk about him too. I understand." I replied, keeping pace with him and intertwining my fingers with his, staying quiet for a long time after.
