Joel Dawson

Joel Dawson, a 24 year old survivor of the monster apocalypse, laid on his single-person bed, eyebrows slightly furrowed as he stared at the ceiling. He seemed to be contemplating, eyes dazed. The man's hands were stacked on top of his chest which was rising and falling from his shallow breathing.

At first, Joel wondered how he even survived this entirely chaos with the lack of any survival skills. Then his mind wandered further to his teenage lover, Aimee who had unfortunately been separated from him on that particular fateful day. Tears started to prick his eyes once again, like the other countless times this had happened. Everyday, brooding over that one single girl. From the room beside him separated by a single opaque curtain, he heard chuckling noises of a couple, sighing forlornly to himself. Almost everyone had a romantic partner in the colony except him and you. Joel had made a resolute promise that he would one day find Aimee again. All he wanted a girl who he could love, take care of and protect for the rest of his life.

"Get up, sleepyhead!" You exclaimed, plopping yourself onto the little space left on Joel's bed. The sudden movement jerked Joel out of his thoughts, almost causing his heart to pound frightfully out of his chest. The man's body jolted, nearly falling of the bed in the process.

"What the hell, (y/n)?!" Joel cursed, mumbling a string of lightweight profanities to himself.

"Stop lying on your bed and daydreaming! Talk to me!" You grabbed Joel's wrist, pulling him up with all our might, though you failed miserably.

There was not a hint of happiness in Joel's expression. It was more of a dreamy sadness, like a gloomy rainy day. His face was slightly pale, losing the normal enthusiasm and cheerfulness that always clung to it.

You thought better than to continue joking around, already knowing the reason behind his dejected mood. "Joel? Are you okay?" Your hand rested on his shoulder, giving it a reassuring squeeze.

Silence was all that met you. This unresponsiveness was unlike him.

"Is it about Aimee again?" You prodded on gently.

All you received was a sigh.

Despite the fact that the two of you had only met for a few months, you have become the best of friends, always having fun together and laughing. You found the underground bunker while roaming around to find a home and Joel was the first one to see you and let you join. He was a clumsy man but still cute and quirky which you loved so much about his personality. By now, you and him have already shared almost all your life stories, though Joel incessantly babbled on about Aimee. That girl was the only important person in his life and he lost her.
