Blood In The Water (TWD Clementine x Male Reader)

Goodbyes

Y/n's Pov
The gate of Richmond creaked open as me, Clem, Javi, Kate, Gabe, Mari, Jesus and the others from Hilltop walked outside.

Jesus: We'll let you all say your goodbyes.

Jesus and his men stepped away to give the six of us a little privacy.

Mari was the first to react. She ran over and wrapped her arms around Clem, before doing the same to me.

Mari: You made up your mind?

Y/n: Yeah, I have.

Mari: Good luck out there Y/n, and thanks for everything. I'm gonna miss you.

Y/n: I'll miss you too, Mari.

She then gave me a kiss on the cheek before walking back over to her family.

Gabe came up to me next and stuck out his hand for a handshake. I did the same and we shook.

Gabe: Good luck, Y/n. And I'm sorry for how I was towards you.

Y/n: I'm sorry too. I supposed we were both being dicks to each other.

Gabe: *Chuckles* That's true. Thanks for everything you've done for me.

I then pulled Gabe into a hug.

Y/n: You are welcome.

We let go of each other and he walked over to Clem.

Kate: Stay safe out there, Y/n.

Y/n: Of course. You know me, the safest person around.

Kate laughed as Javi approached me. He reached out his hand and we shook.

Javi: You've really grown, Y/n. Your not that dark, brooding kid I met. You're a kind, selfless and badass young man.

Y/n: Thanks Javi. In truth, I owe it all to you. You're the one who showed me who I could be. So thank you.

Javi: You can call us even after everything you've done for my family.

I looked over Javi's shoulder and watched as people were rebuilding the city.

Y/n: You know... these people are gonna need a leader. And I can't think of anyone better.

Javi: I don't think I'm cut out for leading a community.

I put one of my hands on Javi's shoulder.

Y/n: I know you are, but if you don't want to lead it's okay.

Javi looked behind him at all the workers.

Javi: I'll try my best to be the leader this place deserves.

Y/n: That's all anyone can ask.

We then hugged each other for about twenty seconds, before letting go.

Javi: Good luck out there, Y/n L/n.

Y/n: Good luck in here, Javier Garcia.

Javi then pulled Clem into a hug and whispered something into her ear.

They then separated, and it was time.

Clem and I turned and walked away from Richmond, waving back as the Garcia's walked back inside. The gate closing, cutting off our view of them.

Jesus: You ready?

Y/n: Nearly, just one more thing I gotta do.

I then took Clem over to where we could say goodbye in privacy.

Y/n: Here...

I held out my hand, and in it was the tiny revolver I used to kill Joan.

Y/n:... take this and give it to AJ.

Clem reached out with a shaky hand and took the gun, placing it in her back pocket.

She then, without warning, wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me into a deep hug.

We stood there in a comfortable silence, before I opened my mouth to talk.

Y/n: Clem?

She lifted her head from my chest. She stared into my eyes as I did the same to her.

Y/n: I just want to---

I never got to finish my sentence because Clem did something I wasn't expecting, even though it's something I wanted to do for a long time.

She kissed me.

I was in too much shock to kiss back, but before I got the chance, Clem pulled away, face red from embarrassment.

So me being me, I messed with her.

Y/n: Really?

Clem: I'm sorry, it's just I've really want to do that for a---

Y/n: You waited until now, the moment we're separating to kiss me?

Clem caught on that I was messing with her and started laughing, he arms still around my neck.

Clem: Hey, I didn't realise I had to do everything.

Y/n: What do you mean you did everything?

Clem: Well I initiated the first hug and the first time we held hands. I thought you would do the kiss, but I guess not.

Y/n: You're so annoying.

Clem: I hate you so much.

We both then leaned in as our lips connected once again, but this time, with much more emotion.

I don't know how long we stood there for, but it wasn't long enough.

Clem pulled away and buried her head in my chest, tears falling freely down her face, as I rested my chin on her head.

Clem: I'm gonna miss you, dork.

Y/n: I'm gonna miss you too, idiot.

We both then reluctantly let go of each other and turned and walked away, not looking back.

Jesus: You ready to go?

I lokkwd at the ground and took one deep breath.

Y/n: Yeah.

I looked up at Jesus with determination.

Y/n: Let's go pay Negan a visit.
