At first I didn't know how you would be able to pull off that kind of story with a romance in only 4k words but good job! It feels like the great prequel of something, and while I am perfectly content with only this, I would totally read a multi chapter story about them and what happens next.
Thanks for sharing this with us!

Well, it was good! Hope you continue, I like this apocalyptic stuff, hehe! Still, i would have liked a bit more build up... Anyway, good job!

PLEASE, a warning about the slash content. While I'm not going to vilify you for writing it, please be considerate of those who are DEFINITELY not interested in reading it.
