"Fucked Up Sweethearts." (TWDG Marlon Fanfiction)

Chapter 5

***

After getting Clementine, she and A.J. went back to Marlon's office to talk about some things they could do to help out. Now that he had three extra people to feed, they'd have to hunt for more food, which would be hard to do since stock was getting low.

I was sitting on a couch that was in an open area right outside of the office, waiting for Marlon and them to get done. I couldn't stop thinking about what had just happened between Marlon and I. Clementine probably already knew, which made me also think about what would happen if she told everyone. I didn't think that she would, but if she did, I would have to consider the consequences.

The door soon opened, and Clem and A.J. walked out of Marlon's office and down the stairs to the main level.

I stood up from the couch I was sitting on and walked over to Marlon to see what was going on.

He looked into my eyes, a grin forming on his face as I walked up. It was the same one he first gave me when he properly introduced himself. It'll never get old.

"What's going on?" I asked him looking away, now watching Clem and A.J. walk down the stairs so that Marlon wouldn't see the blush forming on my face.

"Clem's going with Louis and Aasim to hunt. Mind coming with me to clear out a few deadheads so they got a clear path when they come back?" He asks me. I was surprised he even asked me that considering just a few days ago he wouldn't let me go with them to clear them out because of my arm. That was healing pretty well, by the way.

"Sure. I don't mind." I say to him, then following with him down the hall and down the stairs to exit the building. There was a lot of awkward silence between us, and all I could think about was us having sex. The feeling, the sensation, just everything. That was probably the wrong thing to be thinking about right now, but I couldn't help it. Marlon soon broke the awkward silence.

"So, uh, about what happened..." He started off

"What about it?"

"We can't tell anyone, okay?" He said, stopping me in the middle of the hall and turning my body to face his, his eyes gazing into mine.

"I wasn't planning on it, but now I want to know why I shouldn't tell anybody?"

"I just feel like it'd start some drama, and we really don't need that around here right now." He answered me simply with a shrug.

"Fair enough." I said to him as we then continued our walk down the hall, just chatting about random nonsense as we walked out of the main doors to the campus.

Willy and Mitch were already outside, relaxing in the couch that was by a fire pit on the campus. I looked around some more, and Marlon made his way over to Willy and Mitch, asking them something that was intelligible to me.

I then watched Willy get up from the couch and run over to the watch tower, climbing up the wooden handmade ladder as he made his way up to the top.

When I looked back, Marlon was already headed back towards me.

"I'm having him check and see how many there are. If there's not too much, we'll wait a little bit before clearing them out." He explained to me as he sat down down on the steps that led to the main doors of the school.
