Negan x reader

pt. 24

______________________________

My nails were digging into my palms as I sat stone faced watching Negan yell at the woman who tried to kill him. He had the savior holding her down cut her face slightly and the corner of my mouth twitched into a smile. "(Y/n), you're bleeding." Olivia says and I look down at the blood staned lace on my hand. "Oh, meh I'll deal with that later. Thank you for letting me know." "Here I'll get you some Bandages, come in the house with me." She says and I nod. I look over at Negan. He sees me and I point to the house showing I was going in. He nodded and went back to what he was doing. Olivia and I go into the kitchen and I sigh. "I'm sorry that happened today. I'm not sure how close you and Spencer were." I apologize and Olivia stays quiet. "Why did you defend him?" She asks talking about Negan. I pause for a little bit as she hands me some wrap for my hands. "I don't know anymore honestly. Since he found me I've been finding things out about myself. Things that would have worried me before. But now, now I just am kind of rolling with it." I state plainly as I wrap my hands. A gun shot goes off causing Olivia and I to jump. "Shit." Is all I can say before the two of us ran out the door. Someone that was in the crowd earlier was laying dead on the ground.

I covered my mouth and see Negan smiling. Cautiously I walk over to him and softly place my hand on his shoulder from behind. "Negan? What happened?" The man I had come to love turned his face to me with a smirk, blood still on his face from before. "Just some business sweetheart. Don't you worry your pretty little head about it." Negan says patting my hand. "Oh darlin, were you digging your nails into your hands again?" He asks seeing the wrapps on both hands. "I'm fine. Just was getting over whelmed." I smile softly and Negan side hugs me not letting go. I relax at his side finally taking a deep breath and letting it out closing my eyes. "Rick! Hey everybody it's Rick!" Negan exclaims holding me tighter. I open my eyes to see Rick carrying an injured man. "We had a deal Negan." My dad says causing Negan to smirk again. "I was helping you out. He wanted me to kill you so he could take over." Negan says using Lucille to point at Spencer's body. "And them, well I didn't want to have them killed but now you have one less mouth to feed." Subconsciously I was almost clinging onto Negan. Rick saw me and his eyes widened for a second before putting a straight face on for Negan. "You remember (y/n)? Right. She's just a peach." Negan says before kissing me. I knew he was doing this to get some sort of rise out of Rick but so was I. I kissed back and slowly pulled away before looking over at my dad and waving politely. Rick couldn't even look me in the eye.

"I just wanted to talk to you for a minute, then I'm taking this pretty lady out on a date." Negan explains with a cocky grin on his face. "Darlin, why don't you go wait in the truck. I'll be there in just a couple minutes. Hey, Arat, walk (y/n) to the truck and keep them some company will ya?" Arat, the savior that had cut the woman's face nods and I follow her. Walking passed Rick I smile. "Have fun Rick." My smile turns to a smirk as I  follow Arat. "So uh, you're pretty strong." I say trying to start up a conversation. "Hm?" Arat hums at me and I nervously mess with my hand wraps. "Oh, uh, well ya know. You took that girl down really quickly and you were able to get the gun away from her and hold her down while I uh, kicked her." Arat opens the truck door for me and I get in but keep the door open. "Yeah, thanks." She says acknowledging me. "So um, how long you been a savior?" I ask wanting to not be alone. "A while. You don't have to talk to me you know." Arat says handing me my parasol. "Most of the wives don't really talk with us." "Yeah but I'm not a wife. I'm just kinda here for human interaction. I'm more of a girlfriend roll." I explain taking my parasol and setting it at my feet.

"And as much as I actually hate social situations. I haven't spent a lot of time around other living humans for a while. So part of me misses it. You know?" I confess and Arat looks at me before nodding. "Lots of us came from situations where we didn't have others to help us, a lot of us also came from situations where the people we did have hurt us." She explains and I nod. "So, what's the thing with you and Rick?" Arat asks looking up at me. "Well he, uh, he's kinda my dad. It's a complicated relationship." "Rick's your dad, and you're "dating" Negan?" Arat double checks putting datting in quotations. I shrug and nod. "Aren't they kinda close in age?" She continues and I shrug again. "Haven't given it mutch though I guess. But I always had crushes on older male characters in books and movies as a kid soooo." Before our conversation could continue Negan walked over. "Thanks Arat. I got it from here." Arat nods and walks off. "Dont you look pretty as a flower sitting there?" Negan looks around then holds my hands. "You've gotta stop doing that. Are you okay? I know that was a lot to take in." He kisses my palms and looks up at me. "Well it's not every day you see your lover gut a man like a fish." I chuckle. "Hey, let's go get you berry picking. That'll make you feel better." Negan smiles softly before shutting my door and walking around to his. I watched as he got into the truck and held my hands together. "Negan, did you bring me here with you so that if or when Rick showed up you could get a reaction out of him?" I ask honestly wondering. Negan looks at me wide eyed before looking at the steering wheel. "Maybe darlin, I know how it hurts ya." He confesses and I feel a slight anger and shame. "So you did it not caring that it could damage me and our relationship? Just to get something out of Rick?" "(Y/n) it's not like that." "Just take me back to the compound. I don't want to go berry picking anymore. Rowan probably is wondering where I am anyway." I say before turning to look out the window. "(Y/n), come on darlin, I-." "I said just take me back to the compound." I repeat still looking out the window. Negan stays quiet as he starts the truck.
