chapter xv - superpower

"you know that was badass and it needed to be said. you shouldn't feel bad about it," negan says as he pulls out of alexandria.

"thanks, i just lost the only other people i love. glad you find that badass."

"well it was, even if you are in a shitty mood."

i huff as i sit back, "he's gonna hate me forever."

"he's a teenager, he'll forget about it eventually. and rick is an adult, if he's gonna hold a grudge he's got a lot of growing up to do."

"i guess so."

"you know you look really good today."

"i can't tell if you're trying to get in my pants or if you're being sincere."

"both, it's my superpower."

'bet you got more than one superpower', i think to myself. once i realized what i thought i wanted to physically slap myself but i refrained, negan probably thinks i'm crazy as it is.

"mind if i steal that comeback?"

"which one?"

"the 'if you have any more questions refer them to the office of fuck you'. that one was good."

"nah, i don't care. it needed to be said."

"yes, it did. those nosy ass people are always in someone's business."

"language," i scold him.

"if mason wants to say it, i'd applaud him. it's funny as hell. isn't that right mason?"

"as hell," he repeats.

negan chuckles as i turn to him, "that's a bad word, we don't say that."

"mr. negan says it," he argues back.

"mr. negan shouldn't be saying it either," i face him, "but he's a grown-up. you can maybe say those when you're older." he pouts as negan laughs.

"don't worry bud, i'll teach you all the fun words."

"no you won't. i'll make sure of it."

"oh yeah? how do you plan on doing that?"

"no more negan time," i smile.

negan and mason make stupidly cute pouty faces, "you're telling me you can say 'no' to these faces? come on."

i roll my eyes, "fine, but i'm serious, no cuss words. we don't need him calling someone a bastard for nothing."

"so if he has a reason he can say it?"

"that's not what i said-"

"it is."

"well that's not what i meant."

negan starts to respond before he slows the vehicle to a stop. "shit," he mumbles.

i look up and see what he was talking about. a huge horde is blocking the road a couple of miles down.

"shit," i mutter.

simon pulls up beside us, "boss, what's wrong?", he turns back to face what's ahead of him, "oh shit."

"oh shit is right. there another route around this?"

"yes sir, but it takes three hours out of our way if we want to make sure we avoid them. you got enough gas for that?"

"yea, you?"

"yes, sir."

"well then, let's go. lead the way simon."

simon nods before rolling the window up, we all turn around and head in the other directon. "not how i planned on spending the day, but at least i'll get to work on you a little more," he smiles.
