The girl - a clementine x male reader story

Chapter 130 - readjustment

Readers POV

You open your eyes slowly almost expecting for it all to be a dream but you can't help but smile a little when you realise you're home.

But you can't smile much thinking about everything you've done to get everyone to this point.

You look to your right and see clem isn't there. You guess you woke up late.

Scout lays across the foot of the bed with his eyes open as he breathes calmly. His long legs are curled up by his side as he lets out a big yawn showing his sharp teeth off.

You sit up in bed and scout raises his head and begins to pant happily when he sees you're awake.

You grunt as you move as a sharp pain goes up your side.

You wince as your body settles down again and scout gets up on his legs now towering over you as you sit up on your bed frame.

He licks your face.

You: yeah yeah yeah no need for none of that.

You say with a chuckle that makes your ribs rattle in your bruised body.

Scout whines.

You: we make a very good team. We haven't failed making it home yet.

He drops on your body with a thud and you let out a very long groan of pain which he seems to enjoy.

You: come on man. Look I'm sorry I keep dragging you into these strange situations. But you're the one that follows me so I'm not taking all the blame.

He whines as you stroke his ear and the stub of the other ear and run your fingers through his thick fur until you scratch under his chin.

You: as much as I'd love to stay in bed all day I've got work to do. You feel free to sit around though lazy arse.

You say as you push him onto the other side of the bed. You slip your legs out of the blanket and you sit on the edge of the bed. Your legs are quite bruised but around you chest, especially the rib cage, is covered in black and purple splashes.

It's also quite possible that you broke a rib but there isn't much anyone here can do.

You stand up and slip your clothes on with great effort.

You grab all your gear and begin walking outside.

You step outside with a heavy limp on your left leg and all of your gear now feel 3 times as heavy.

Everyone looks at you and seems happy to see you but you can read everyone's eyes. Each telling a different prospective.

Concern. Confusion. Disbelief. Suspicion.

So many emotions looking back at you but as you lock eyes with clem you see all her emotions laid out to witness. And it was all happiness. Just happy to see you awake. Just happy to see you home. Just happy to see you alive. Just happy to see you.

She walks over to you.

Clem: where are you going dressed like that like?

She says jokingly.

You: what?

You say looking down at your usual outfit like maybe you'd forgot to put on a shirt. But you were fully dressed and dressed no different to the rest of the year.

Clem: I mean with all your gear dummy.

You: oh. I'm a bit slow.

You say jokingly.
