TONY: That's everything, you know? There's nothing you don't know at this point.

ANYA: I've heard that before, but alright.

ANYA: Night, Tony.

TONY: I didn't want to upset you so I didn't mention it. I should've said it sooner, I'm sorry.

ANYA: I'm not upset that it happened. I'm not surprised, really. I'm upset that... I have to keep prying and bothering you about stuff to just get you to tell me things about your life and stuff.

TEXT MESSAGE 📩 TONYA

TONY: I know you're probably mad I didn't tell you and I don't blame you if you are. I just didn't think it was important, okay? She didn't get pregnant.

ANYA: Alright.

ANYA: I'm not mad, I'm just tired of being thrown.

TONY: Um, I was almost a dad once?

[half hour later]

ANYA: Okay.

[anyapearce]

TEXT MESSAGE 📩 TONYA

TONY: I know it's not easy.

TONY: I just don't know what you wanna hear. Do you want me to tell you how many times I hooked up? Or to tell you about museums and sights? Because it sounds like you're asking me to tell you something I've been hiding from you like there's more and there's not.

ANYA: Is there something you've done that if the situation were reversed, you would want to know about it?

TEXT MESSAGE 📩 TONYA

TONY: :(

TONY: I'm sorry, okay?

TONY: I don't know what to say anymore to fix that. You just have to trust me again.

ANYA: I know you're sorry.

ANYA: It's not a switch I can just flip. You can't just expect me to get over it and just trust you, that's not how it works...

TEXT MESSAGE 📩 TONYA

TONY: The only way I can get you to trust me is by trusting me again.

ANYA: Well, I don't. I question everything that you say.

[anyapearce]

TEXT MESSAGE 📩 TONYA

TONY: I don't know how to give you that. I've already told you all there is to say, babe. I don't know what else you could possibly want to know. Just ask me, I'll tell you.

ANYA: That's what you said last time. How am I suppose to ask you when I don't know what to ask? That's why I asked you to just tell me about your time overseas.

TONY: Wanting space?

ANYA: I don't WANT space. I want to stop feeling like there's stuff about you that I don't know. Stuff about you that you're hiding from me just because you don't want to deal with my reaction.

TEXT MESSAGE 📩 TONYA

TONY: And I hear you. I just want to know how much longer you plan on keeping this up.

ANYA: Keeping what up?

[anyapearce]

TEXT MESSAGE 📩 TONYA

TONY: No, you're not. You're blocking me out.

ANYA: I'm not blocking you out. I told you what I was thinking.

[anyapearce]

WHO: Tony McIntosh & Anya Pearce, mentions of others.

WHAT: Zombie Apocalypse prompt (#2).

WHERE: Their camp.

WHEN: The course of a few days.

DETAILS: In this AU verse, they’re married and have a five year old son.

TONY

When Tony had the chance to look over his shoulder at the tent where he left Anya, he realized she didn’t have much of a choice and staying was probably more dangerous than running about. However, having her out in the open with Anthony put him on edge.

“I’m not rushing off to save everyone else! I thought it was just one and you know what? It only takes one of them to spread it so sorry I didn’t want one of our own creeping into our tent in the middle of the night!” He snapped back, making Anthony begin to cry and point behind them. Looking in that direction, he saw a stray walker stumbling towards them but he was quick to push Anya aside and stab him in the head before his limp rotting body fell to the ground and he looked back at the two. “We gotta get out of here.”

ANYA

Anya longed for a world where she could raise her son normally. Right now, for the most part, he was still a normal boy, but growing up in this world was going to change him. He would have to adapt to how things worked now, and so would she, if only Tony would let them. 

“You still rushed off to take care of someone else, when their husband could have taken care of them!” She bit back, holding Anthony closer as he cried and pointed. She had been about to take out her own knife to take care of things, when he pushed her to the side to take care of things himself. As annoyed she was at him taking matters into his own hands again, so dropped the argument to agree with him. “I already grabbed our bag, you take him, and I’ll clear the way.” She said before adjusting the bag on her shoulder and took off before he could argue, heading toward one of the cars.

TONY: Talk to me, please.

ANYA: I am talking to you.

TEXT MESSAGE 📩 TONYA

TONY: How am I not fighting things right now?

ANYA: Nevermind. Just forget it.

[anyapearce]

TEXT MESSAGE 📩 TONYA

TONY: Fair enough? That's it?

ANYA: How is it that you can like someone for as long as you say you've liked me and you NEVER told me. I get that you were worried about the Jace thing... but it's been over 10 years and you kept it a secret for that long. It's like you just lay back and let things happen without trying to fight for them, and I'm not gonna tell you to fight for things. It wouldn't count. So, yeah, all I have to say is fair enough.

TEXT MESSAGE 📩 TONYA

TONY: I don't have a choice? It's what you want so I'm giving you space. That doesn't mean I want it.

ANYA: Fair enough.

But, if it’s not broke don’t fix it, right?

I don’t think that really applies in this situation.
