You admit that you are clingy.
It's the way that your family showed love so it's the way that you show love. It warms you up inside when somebody gives you affection and it makes you feel better to be physically touching those that you love.
Whether it's a cuddle or just an arm resting on their body, it makes you feel loved and glowy.
When you first got together with 10k, he felt surprised by the amount of affection that you showed him. You were always wanting to hold his hand, rest your head on his shoulder and you had to always cuddle in your sleep.
While 10k got used to this, he still wasn't used to showing affection as that wasn't the way that he was brought up. He was also extremely shy and even though you hadn't seen any other survivors in months, he still blushed a bright red when he initiated anything.
But that was alright for you. You knew that he still loved you, even if he didn't attach himself to you like you did. It didn't bother you and you both went through the apocalypse happy.
You were on a supply run, stalking through the grocery store looking for supplies. You let go of 10k's hand reluctantly and began searching the other side of the shelves, quietly slipping cans into your bag.
You heard shuffling behind you and you whirled around to find a woman there, pointing a gun at you. You put your hands up, eyes wide and mouth ready to scream. The woman glares at you, trying to find out your intentions.
You see a few more people walking down the aisle toward you, eyeing you. The woman puts her gun down after looking at you for a few more seconds.
'Are you gonna hurt me?' You squeak out fearfully. The woman chuckles and shakes her head.
'If you won't hurt me.'
You shake your head as you see a woman and three men approach the woman, looking at you. The woman shares a look with one of the men before holding her hand out.
'I'm Roberta Warren. This is Addy, Vasquez, Mack and Murphy.'
You nod. 'I'm Y/N.'
'Are you alone?' Warren asks.
You shake your head. 'No, I'm with-'
You're cut off by the sound of footsteps and you see an older man walking toward you, 10k following with a smile on his face. You rush up to him and embrace him, hugging him tightly. You didn't know if you would see him again, didn't know that these strangers would be kind.
He places his hand on your back, gently rubbing it but not embracing fully. You let go and look up to see the blush on his face as his eyes rest upon the other people. You wrap your hand around his bicep and lean into him as you both walk toward the rest of the group.
Vasquez has an eyebrow raised as the old man smiles at the two of you. 'Found the boy in the other aisle. They're good ones, I think we should keep them.'
Vasquez rolls his eyes and Warren shakes her head. 'We can't just keep everybody that we come across.'
'Plus they might have somewhere else to go,' Addy adds.
You smile slightly. You do like this group and it would be fun to be with other people. You look up at 10k, whose smile is saying the same thing. The old man claps his hands and chuckles.
'They want us to keep them too!'
Warren sighs and then looks at us. 'Okay, but we have something to tell you..'
