So, this exists: teen zombie romance.
From the amazon description:"R is a young man with an existential crisis--he is a zombie. He shuffles through an America destroyed by war, social collapse, and the mindless hunger of his undead comrades, but he craves something more than blood and brains. He can speak just a few grunted syllables, but his inner life is deep, full of wonder and longing. He has no memories, noidentity, and no pulse, but he has dreams.Oh and this is also becoming a movie. Movie reviewers, get your "trying to get warm bodies into movie theater seats" puns ready.
After experiencing a teenage boy's memories while consuming his brain, R makes an unexpected choice that begins a tense, awkward, and stragely sweet relationship with the victim's human girlfriend. Julie is a blast of color in the otherwise dreary and gray landscape that surrounds R. His decision to protect her will transform not only R, but his fellow Dead, and perhaps their whole lifeless world."
NO MOM, HE'S DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER ZOMBIES! YOU CAN'T KEEP ME FROM HIM, I LOVE HIM!

"I know I should've hated him for divesting my boyfriend of his brains, but there was something about his eyes when he got all carnal like that that said, 'Mwwwwaaaawwwwwwrrr.' It was then that I knew there was MORE to him than being a lifeless murderer." top
