You're Mine

❤︎Negan's p.o.v.❤︎

I looked over at my beautiful girl, she was asleep. I made sure to make note of her every movement. I looked down at her leg to see it had stopped bleeding, that was the best thing that had happened today. I wasn't going to let any of those Alexandrea pricks hurt my girl ever again.

"You helped the weak before this?" Gabriel said, bringing me out of my thoughts. I looked over at him.

"Kids. You don't show them the way, well, they turn out like garbage. Little assholes become great big ones, so you show them the way. Adults, they need it, too -- the government, laws, religion, guilt. People are weak." I said thinking back to before all of this bullshit happened.

"Everyone?" Gabriel asked.

"Everyone." I answered simply.

"You're weak." Gabriel said, causing me to smirk. "Killing the innocent."

"Right and goddamn wrong." I answered back at him. "I'm weak, but me 'killing the innocent'? That ain't why, Gabey." I slowly removed my arm from around my girl's shoulders causing her to wake up and look at me. I leaned in, placing a kiss on her lips before I stood up.

❤︎Y/N p.o.v.❤︎

The growling intensified as Negan stood up from his place. I know I only slept for a few minutes but I needed it more than I thought. My body was so tired and I felt so weak. The growling and thumping on the walls filled my ears as I fully became awake and aware of my surroundings. I kept my full attention on Negan and what he was doing when suddenly one of the boards from the other side of the tailor came breaking into the trailer causing me to jump from the loud sound and I looked over to see the arm of one of the dread clawing in. Negan leaned against one of the walls and I looked up at him nervously. "We'll wait a little bit longer, see if my people can pull it together." Negan said, I could tell he was starting to get annoyed and impatient.

"Why are you weak?" Gabriel asked, looking over to Negan.

"That's the wrong question. It is how I am weak." Negan looked from me over to Gabriel as he spoke. "You see, the thing is, I am also strong. Everyone is a mix. You can use your weaknesses to drive your strength, and obviously, I am strong as shit. I took this place, and it was a damn free-for-all -- a loose confederation of assholes, an army made up of gangs of animals, and I brought it all together. The last guy that was in charge, he wasn't in charge of shit. He allowed people to be weak. I don't. I make them strong, which makes this world strong. You're gonna see, Gabey. See, I'm gonna make you my new special project. Gonna make you nice and strong, too. We're gonna find your special purpose. Hell yes, we are." Negan finished with a smile.

"I'm strong. I've killed. I was at the Satellite Station. I was a part of that."

"Oh." Negan whispered. "Then you killed my people while they were sleeping." Negan removed his body from the wall walking over to Gabriel. "Well, look at you, swinging your dick. Sure, Gabe. That's strong. But that's not what I'm talking about." Negan said, standing above Gabriel looking down at him.

"Tell me how you're weak." Gabriel said. "We might be dead soon. You may be dead." Gabriel looked over to me and then back up to Negan. I felt my heart drop for a moment at the reality around us. "Wouldn't you want to confess before all that happens? Wouldn't you want absolution before that? Forgiveness?" Gabriel stood up to his feet looking Negan eye to eye. "Costs you nothing more than saying the truth aloud. You don't think you have anything to confess? People you've killed?" Gabriel asked Negan knowing he has got to have just one thing to confess for forgiveness.
