Description
“Carl! Wait up!” You called out, running after the one-eyed teenager. It was midday in an apocalypse and your best friend/crush, Carl Grimes, came to you, asking you wanted to go on a run. You immediately say yes since Carl was always with either his dad or Enid.
“Come on, hurry up” Carl smirked at you as he ran faster just to tease you.
    “I would if you slow down!“ You yelled.
    " I thought you were faster then this, Y/N!” Carl teased, chuckling.
   “Carl!“ You shouted as he ran faster, slowly getting out of your sight. You were fast but Carl somehow ended up being faster then you. You breathed heavily as you ran faster “Wait!” No answer “Carl!?” You yelled as you ran more. “Carl! You there?” No answer "Carl?“ you shouted, getting a little concerned. You came to a stop, taking a breather. You looked around, hoping to see Carl but he was no where in sight.
“Did something happened?” You wondered. “Carl!?” you cried. “Carl, this isn’t funny! Come out!” Nothing. “Carl, please!” You cried, again. “Did something happened? Carl!” You looked around some more when you suddenly heard a stick snapped behind you.
    You turned just to be tackled by your friend with the sheriff hat. You both laughed as you both rolled on the ground before coming to a stop with you on top.
   "You, jerk!“ you exclaimed once you stopped, grabbing his hat and hitting him with it. “I thought something happened!” Carl just laughed, blocking the hat with his arms. He's amused by this. “You’re impossible”
   "Hey, I saw an opportunity and I took” Carl chuckled.
   "You did scare me, I thought you were captured or ran into a walker…“ You muttered, getting off of him, sitting next to him. He looked at you as he slowly stopped laughing.
   "Hey, I’m sorry” Carl said, sitting up. “It was kind of mean, I didn’t mean to scare you. After all that happened, I just wanted to at least see you smile”
   "And that’s what came to mind?“ you looked at him with a questioning look. After Carl lost his eye and Rick went temporally insane, you were practically depressed. You thought Carl was gonna die and the very though was enough to make you cry. Ever since he woke up, he was insecure about his eye but did spend time with you. He notice changes and it’s obvious that he didn’t like it.
"Yeah…sorry” Carl rubbed the back of his neck before scooting close to you “At least I got to see you smile, I missed that about you.” You looked at him and sighed before tucking some hair behind your ear.
   "I’ll forgive you this time” You said, smiling softly. Carl chuckled and smiled back at you.
   “Wanna continue?” Carl asked.
   "Nah, I wanna rest here for a little bit” you said. Carl shrugged before grabbing his backpack, obviously gonna read a comic. You sighed and laid down, staring at the sky. As you stared at the clouds floating by, you remember how you met Carl and the group. You were separated from your parents when you young. You were scavenging for food when a group of zombies suddenly trapped you. Luckily, a Korean guy appeared out of no where and took you to safety, his name was Glenn. He was surprised to see a young girl by herself so he took you to a prison which was his group’s base.
    You were quiet and scared at first but you came around; you became friends with Carl and Beth, sharing a cell with a woman named Carol, and your job was to look after the kids with Carol. You were with Michonne when the prison was destroyed. You did lose people on the way but you stood strong with Carl being there for you and you developed feelings for him on the way. Your group then joined Alexandria where you befriended Ron Anderson and Carl befriended Enid. You were upset when Carl started taking an obvious liking towards Enid but you kept shrugging off. After what happened, you noticed that Enid and Carl got closer which made you more depressed. You didn’t say it to Carl but that was the main reason you stopped smiling. Carl means a lot to you but you were scared of revealing your feelings since it might ruin your friendship. Every time you tried to tell him, you get tongue-tied and end up staring at him like an idiot.
   "Ugh! you’re such a coward, Y/N!“ you yelled at yourself in your head. You snapped out of your thoughts when Carl gently grabbed your hand.
   “Y/N, can I tell you something?” Carl asked
   “Uh, sure?” you said.
   “Well, um, for a while I-” Carl then jerked his glance towards his right, looking around concerned.
   “Carl?” You asked, sitting up. “What’s wr-”
   "Wai-wait, wait, shh” Carl said quietly, placing his hand over your mouth. He looked around some more, alerted. You blinked before removing his hand.
   "What is it?“ You whispered, looking at the trees then at Carl.
   “I thought I heard something like shouting” Carl stated.
   "I didn’t hear it..“ You replied.
   "It could be my imagination” Carl muttered before looking at you.
   “Should we move somewhere else?” You asked, getting a little concerned. “Just in case”
   “Yeah…” Carl nodded “Just in case, come on” You immediately stood up as Carl put his comics in his pack before getting up. Right when you heard something, like something getting shot. Next thing you knew, Carl yelled in pain before collapsing to his knees.
    "Carl!“ You kneeled next to him, seeing an arrow in his forearm.
    "Got one!” You heard a man yelled in distance.
    "Y/N, run” Carl ordered as he got on his feet with your help.
    “But your arm!” You pointed out.
    "We’ll take care of that later go!“ Carl gently pushed you before you two took off. You heard the men yelling as they started chasing you like it’s some hunting game. You blindly ran beside Carl, who was holding his wounded arm, through the big forest as the men ran after you. You feet hit the ground hard as you ran faster and faster. “This way!” Carl grabbed you and pulled you in one direction. You continued following Carl as you heard the men behind you:
     “Where’d they go?”
     “You two, go that away. Drake, come with me!”
     “In here” Carl gently pushed you in some hollow tree and he crawled in after you, grunting in pain. You two huddle together, trying to make as much room as possible, as two men came into view: they were jeans, jacket with hoods up, piece of cloth covering their mouths, one holding a shotgun and the other holding a crossbow. You knew immediately that they were bandits.
     "Which did they go?“ the shotgun one asked.
     "I don’t know, we lost them” the crossbow claimed. Carl held your hand as he gently pulled you close, wrapping his good arm around your waist. You gently rest you head on his chest, holding your breath.
     "You have to be fu-“ the shotgun one started to curse but stopped, taking a huge deep breathe. “Those kids could’ve from any of those rotten communities. We could have gotten the jackpot” It clicked, the bandits would gonna use you and Carl for ransom to get more weapons and supplies but you knew about bandits, they always find a way to cheat in this game call life.
     "I shot the bigger one, they can’t too far with him wounded” the crossbow one sad. You looked at Carl’s wound, to see more blood gusting out. You need to take care of the wound before it gets infected.
     “Alright, let’s go this way” the shotgun one said. They soon disappeared from your sight and you heard their footsteps get lower and lower. You sighed in relief and slowly crawled out. Carl tried to convince you to let him out first but you were already out with gun in hand. You looked around some more to see that they were gone. You sighed and turned to help Carl once you noticed him crawl out.
    "Carl, wait, we have to get that arrow out but not in the open. Go back in” You helped Carl crawl back into the hollow tree and gently set him against the inside of the tree. You wanted to take Carl to Alexandria or any shelter but he could loss too much by the time you get there.
    You taking off your Y/F/C jacket, wrapping it around the arrow and around Carl’s arms. You were scared, you never treated an arrow wound before but you couldn’t just leave it there.
    “Now, this might hurt” You gently grabbed the arrow and carefully pulled it out. Carl started grunting in pain; he start flinching but you gently pushed him down before gently started pulling again. Carl let out of yelp in pain and he grabbed your arm. “I’m sorry, Carl.” You whispered “J-just hang out” You started pulling on the arrow again before your arm flinched back. Carl grabbed the ground, grunting. You pushed on the jacket hard, applying pressure to stop the bleeding. Carl grunted in pain even more. “It’s okay, Carl. You’re gonna be okay…” You pressed a little harder “You doing okay?” Carl groaned in pain but nodded
    “Yeah…I’m fine…” You looked at Carl, his eyes were half-close and his chest lowered.
    " Carl?“ you stretched out your hand and caress his cheek, gently moving his head so he can look at you. “You sure you doing okay?”
     “I…just feel tired…” Carl said softly.
     “No, no, no. Carl, can you try to stay awake?” You asked. Carl just groaned. You sighed and gently placed your hand on his arm. You’ve been there, applying pressure to the arm for a few minutes as Carl. The bleeding seem to have stopped, you sighed again but this time in relief. You gripped your jacket and ripped the sleeve off. You began wrapping it around the wound. “Well, this won’t be as good as bandages but it’ll do..at least until we get Alexandria”
     “Thanks…” Carl sighed quietly.
     "Don’t mention it…at least you’re alive” You said. “Still feel tired?” Carl nodded slightly. He was quiet and it worried you. You looked at him before looking out the tree. You begin to crawl out but you felt Carl’s hand as he grabbed you. You gasped and looked at him.
     "I’m sorry” Carl said, looking at you.
     “Why are you apologizing?“ You asked, sitting back down. “You did nothing wrong”
     "It’s just-this wasn’t suppose to happen at all…“ Carl stated.
     “What do you mean?” You asked. “Carl, what exactly were you planning?”
     “I-I-” Carl grunted, holding his arm and glancing down. You tilted your heard, waiting for Carl to say something but he didn’t. Instead he stretched out his hand, gently placing it behind your heard and yanked you towards him. Yours lips crashed into his as he kissed you. Your eyes stayed widen once this happened. Your heart was pounding hard and your hands slowly wrapped around him as you kissed him back. You two stayed like for a few minutes before Carl broke the kiss and looked you. “That’s what I planning” Your face was burning red.
     “So…I-uh, well-” You cleared your throat.
     "I’ve wanted to tell you that I liked you for a while, Y/N” Carl admitted.
     “You did?” You asked, shocked.
      "Yes, still do” Carl said. “It was during our time staying at the church when I realized I liked you” You started smiling and threw yourself on him, hugging. “Ow!” you quickly got off.
      “Sorry, sorry!” You said quickly “I’m just happy because I like you, too since we were on our way to Terminus.” Carl smiled.
      “Wish I’d know sooner” Carl stated.
      "Wish you told me sooner” You said, looking at his wound. Carl chuckled before stretching out his hand, caress your cheek. You got closer and gave Carl a peck. Carl chuckle before awkwardly saying:
      “We should, uh, probably go back.”
      “Are you feeling alright? You asked, concerned for his wound.
      “I’ll be fine” Carl said. “We can’t stay like this forever even though I want to” You smiled little as Carl crawled out of from the tree and you followed:
      “me, too”
