Carl Grimes & Chandler Riggs One Shots

Let Go - CARL

Carl's POV

I keep having the same dream, I keep having the same thoughts, my heart keeps skipping a beat when I see her, my heart keeps telling me to admit what I'm feeling, but my brain says that I lover her as a friend. My heart and my brain agree in one thing, I love her whether it is as a friend or more.
I can't seem to understand the fact that all those dreams and thoughts are actually me falling for her every single moment.
Is it because she's my friend? Or is it because I don't wanna lose her? Like I did with my mom.

This is the fifth night, without any good sleep, my dreams keep getting vivid each night, but I'm so scared to get to the good part and then have the realization that it was all a dream.

Third Person

Carl gets woken up by a airplane paper hitting him in the eye, "seriously y/n?" he says while rubbing his eye, "your father asked to wake you up, you look to peaceful so I decided to poke you in the eye with an airplane paper" y/n said with a smile, "as you can see I've pretty good aiming" she ends her sentence, "what does my father want this early?" Carl ask getting up, "1st it's about 12pm and 2nd, maybe he might want to send you on a run?", "As if y/n, I'm the only one here who hasn't gone in a run" the boy says putting on his boots, "that's a lie, Judith hasn't", "don't try to act smart y/n, even you have gone with Glenn and Daryl on runs", "well that's because I'm a bit more experience, don't you think?" Y/n say reminding him of the things she had to go through to be more experienced than Carl

Third Person

"Dad, why do you need me?" Carl asks and Rick hands him a gun, "wha-" Carl is interrupted by his dad, "I heard you wanna go out there" Rick says which makes Carl give a side eye to y/n knowing she told Rick how Carl feels about not going on runs. "You will go when I believe you're ready, and as far as I'm concerned, you don't even shoot well, Carl", "Yes I do, what about when I killed Shane?" Carl says trying to prove his dad wrong, "You told me you were trying to aim to his arm and you shot him in the head", "what about when I killed the Walker that almost ate Beth" he says refusing to face his lack of skills, "be for real Carl, we know that was me" y/n says stepping in the conversation, "stop with the nonsense Carl, you wanna go outside and kill some walkers? Learn how to shoot first, y/n will teach you" he finishes the sentence leaving y/n with her mouth open, "No offense Rick but what does Carl's lack of experience gotta do with me? Plus I'm not the best one at shooting " Y/n said clueless that Carl was actually looking forward to a lesson with her, "You are the one that wanted Carl to learn, and you're also the only kid that has actually more experience than Maggie and Beth combined. I asume kids can teach each other"

So obviously Rick was trying to help out his son here, not by improving his shooting skills, but by putting y/n as his teacher. Rick knew since the day Carl brought y/n that his son had a little something for that once 12 year old girl, but after hearing his son talking to Judith one night, he was more than sure that his son had fell in love.

Y/n's POV

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I'm the one teaching Carl but man am I loosing patience, he's not horrible but to be honest I was suppose to be playing chess with Merle right now.

"Come on Carl you know what do" I said reassuring him, "Do I? I've only hit the target once and that's because I was close to it, I'm not trying to get close to a Walker you know?" Carl replied with his stupid attitude, gosh that chess game with Merle is sounding quite good right now.
