sorry i haven't updated in forever! but here is a little conversation between glenn and maggie when they first met on the farm getting to know each other
——
GLENN POV
I just wish things were normal. I don't know how long Hershel will let us stay here but it's probably not long. I wish i could just—
"What are you doing?" A voice says. I visibly flinch and get up. Its Maggie. I don't know much about her besides that fact that she's Hershel's eldest daughter.
"Why do you always sneak up on people." I sit back down and she leans against the pole on the porch.
"I don't know it's fun I guess." She laughs. I laugh too. Its nice to find some happiness in such dark times. Maggies like a light at the end of a tunnel. "Let's play a game." This caught me completely off guard.
"Game?"
"We can go back and forth saying things about ourselves." She smiles. I feel like im in school again introducing myself to the kids in my class.
"You first." I say.
"My birthday is July 22nd 1988. Your turn." She says.
"Mine is December 2nd of 87." I respond. She's 21 or 22 I honestly don't know today's date.
"Im allergic to strawberries." Strawberries? Really? I let out a small laugh because that's cute for her. "What's so funny!" She laughs with me. "I seriously am!"
"Ok ok um I'm not allergic to anything but one time i ate 20 flowers petals and threw up all night long when i was 8." She laughs even harder at this.
"What would possess a child to eat so many petals!"
"My sisters said I'd get magic powers if i ate them and little gullible me believed them." I say rubbing the back of my head.
"That's too cute!" She called me cute. Obviously she thinks child me was cute but I still unwilling blush at the comment. "Ok my turn, when i was 10 i had my first kiss with a neighborhood boy even though it was a peck on the lips my daddy got so mad that i wasn't allowed to speak to him unless we were at school. One day he shows up at our doorstep with strawberry lollipops and begs my dad to see me. After dad said no he gave Beth the candy and she gave me one. Literally almost died that day."
"Star crossed lovers i suppose." I joke. I can see Herself as the overprotective type. I like Maggie but if it'll cost me never seeing her again i'd rather keep quiet. "I guess it's my turn then. My whole life I've played baseball."
"Is that why you wear the cap?" She asks.
"That and the fact that its the only thing I have from home.." I start to sniffle a bit. She walks over to me and hugs me.
"Im sorry."
"It wasn't you I swear it's just sometimes I miss my family." At this point we're still hugging.
"Even though you've lost a family you've gained one too." She pushes away and smiles. "Ricks group is your family and so is everyone on this farm."
I think this was the moment I decided I was in love with Maggie. I kiss her. She kisses back.
"I— I don't know why I did that im sorry.." I'm profusely apologizing.
"Its ok. I liked it. Just don't tell my dad." Her cheeks are as red as cherries. We're about to kiss again before a voice speaks.
"Maggie?" Its Hershel. We disconnected faster than the speed of light. "Come inside now." He's glaring at me.
"Goodnight Glenn!" She says before running inside giggling.
Hershel is still staring me down. "Aren't you gonna come inside?"
"OH! Uh yeah I was just contemplating staying out with Dale but I guess I can join everyone else inside because thats what totally normal people do." I hate keeping secrets but I have to. For our sake.
