Clementine X Male Reader Season 2

Chapter 21: Working Hard

Y/N POV

We looked for weaknesses in Carver's base but to no success. It's morning now and Clem and I are going with a woman to the Armory.

Becca: Who are they?

Shel: Their sime of the new people. They were with Carlos and Sarah, and--

Becca: (groans) Sarah? I wish she'd stayed gone.

Shel: She's had a hard time, Becca.

Becca: So have we. We're not sitting on the ground like babies.

The woman opens the armory door.

?: Go on inside. Bonnie's waiting.

Clem and me enter and the woman leaves, closing the door behind her.

Bonnie: Hey, I guess you're startin' your day with me.

Bonnie motions for Clem and me to have a seat, there was only one seat so I sit down and Clem sits on my lap.

Bonnie: We're loadin' magazines.

Clem and me pick up a magazine and fills it with bullets.

Bonnie: That's it, you got it.

We continue working.

Bonnie: I suppose I owe you two an apology... I wasn't truthful when I came across y'all at the lodge, and I was shown a kindness I never would've expected from a group of strangers. But now folks are dead, and I can't help but feel I'm to blame. But the plan was for no one to get hurt. I truly believe that was the intent. At least, it was mine, goin' into it.

Clem: That's because it was your fault. You lead them to us.

Bonnie: If I could change it, I would. I promise you.

Clem: And we should believe you now? All we know about you is that you're a liar.

Y/N: Yeah.

Bonnie: I understand you're both mad at me, and you've got every right to be, but I wanted you to know I regret my part in all this. I apologize... which don't account for much, but it's all I can offer right now.

Y/N: Well you know Carver Is crazy so I don't know why you're surprised that things got violent.

We continue working.

Bonnie: How was your first night in the yard? I know it ain't so comfortable... but it's safe. Which is more than I can say about a lot of places out there.

Clem: We were hungry and cold.

Bonnie: They didn't feed you? Bill said you'd eat every night.

Clem: We haven't eaten since yesterday.

Bonnie: I'm sorry and you got them skinny arms, and you ain't wearin' a jacket...

Y/N: I give her my sweater if she needs it but luckily I was able to keep her warm last night.

Clem blushes.

Bonnie: That's cute. I was supposed to go... when Luke and Carlos and all them left. I was plannin' on leavin' too. When Luke approached me about it, I-- I thought he was crazy. I mean, we're safe here. We got power. We got food. And Bill, he... he wasn't always like this.

Y/N: Why didn't you leave?

Bonnie: If I'm bein' honest... I guess I chickened out. I justified not goin' by tellin' myself it's easier to try an' change somethin' that's broken than start all over. Take this situation with the herd... that's the type of thing that rips a community apart. He keeps things in line... he's got a lot of this stuff figured out. I don't know... I guess I just wanted to be somewhere comfortable for a while.

Clem: Herds have come through before?

Bonnie: Yeah. It's happened a few times. We've always come out on the other end alright. It's something I think about whenever I consider leaving. I mean, it ain't easy keepin' a group this big fed and protected. I don't envy that position. Figure that'd make anyone a little stressed. I'm not defendin' what he did. That was... I'm alive because of him. That's just a fact. And there's somethin' to that.

Clem: He killed Walter!

Bonnie: Only to protect his own people. Kenny could've killed us all.

Y/N: But he didn't.

Bonnie: Bill overreacted. He was in the heat of the moment and he overreacted. Luke had ideas about how things should go, but they didn't line up with what Bill was thinkin'...they butted heads, then Rebecca started showin', and that only made things worse. Maybe Luke was right about him... I wish he was around, but... I just hope he's safe.

The radio on the table crackles.

?: (over radio) Hey, Bonnie, are the couple down there? I need to come get them.

Bonnie picks up the radio.

Bonnie: (over radio) Yeah, their here.

?: (over radio) Okay, I'll be right over.

Bonnie: I'm sure it's fine. Oh, almost forgot. I grabbed this for ya.

Bonnie gets up and retrieves a puffy blue jacket, which she then hands to Clem. Clem puts it on.

Bonnie: Huh? What do you think? I found it at the lodge y'all were at. Think it might be for skiing. Had to wait for no one around to be around to get it to you.

Clem: It's cool. I like it.

Bonnie: I'm glad. I thought it was cute, but I didn't know what you'd think. You better watch yourself. I think some folks might be jealous of that cool jacket of yours.

I look down in sadness.

Clem: What's wrong teddy bear?

Bonnie: That's a cute nickname.

Y/N: It's just now I don't need to give you my sweater anymore.

Clem: But that's a good thing. Now we'll both be warm.

Y/N: I know it's just that it made me feel good to gave you it when you were cold.

Clem then walks up to me and kisses me on the lips and I rest my hands on her waist.

Clem: You have already done so much for me Y/N. I want you to stay warm too but if you want i'll still wear it.

Y/N: Okay.

I pull her into another kiss and firmly hold her waist but the woman from before walks in.

?: Oh, there you two are. What's with the ugly jacket?

Y/N: I think it adds another layer of cuteness to her.

Clem blushes.

Bonnie: Tavia.

Tavia: What?

Bonnie: Never mind. I'll see you later, love birds.

Tavia: Come on.

We then follow Tivia to the roof.
