Another short one. But at least I double updated, right? I was dying writing this, I hope you laugh as much as I did while reading it.
Prompt: Lilly spots some odd "markings" on Carley's body and is determined to figure out what they are. Kinda AU, drugstore setting. Doug is stool alive and all of that shiz.

"Carley, come here." Lilly urged Carley, pulling her by the arm.
"What?" Carley asked, clearly annoyed. Lilly had been asking to see her all day, and she didn't even know what for.
The group was gathering around now, ready to see what Lilly was about to go off about. There weren't really excited to see Carley get chewed out, they were there mostly to make sure Lilly didn't get violent or anything like that. As if she wasn't short tempered before, she was even more so now.
"What's this?" Lilly asked, pointing to Carley's neck.
"What are you talking about?" Carley tried to hide herself behind her hair, but it was kind of too short for that.
"This." Lilly said, moving Carley's hair and observing the mark. Upon closer inspection, it was a... Hickey.
"It's nothing." Carley said, breaking free of Lilly's grasp. She had no right to examine her.
"It's a hickey." Lilly said.
"And you care because..."
"Who did it, Carley?" Kenny asked, laughing.
"Let me guess." Lilly said, "Doug."
"Yeah, you do spend a lot of time with that boy." Larry said. Carley didn't see why they gave a shit, but it was the apocalypse, and that was big news for people now. And as a news reporter, Carley knew how it was to love gossip.
Doug blushed.
"Was it you?" Lilly asked.
"No, Carley wouldn't even think about letting me touch her." Doug admitted. "I'm afraid I'm sort of out of her league."
"Then who the hell was it?" Lilly asked aloud, looking back at Carley.
"Lee." Carley admitted quietly, but Lilly heard her loud and clear.
"Lee? Seriously?" Lilly asked. Larry just glared at Carley in disgust.
"I KNEW IT!" Glenn and Kenny shouted at the same time.
Katjaa looked at Kenny, a confused look on her face. She had Duck on her lap, who was just as confused. She wasn't even sure that she should be having him around while this conversation was going on, but where else was there to go? Was she going to run outside? And the drug store was small, they would've heard anywhere they went. She just had to sit there and pray that he wouldn't ask about anything.
"We knew that they were gonna hook up. Carley and Lee, I mean." Glenn explained.
"Yeah. I mean, you have to be blind to not see those heated glances they've been giving each other." Kenny said. "Almost like they couldn't wait to fuck."
"Kenny!" Katjaa scolded.
"Sorry, hon. I just had to say it." Kenny said, and Katjaa just glared at him.
Kenny turned to Lee. "So... What did she do to you?" He asked.
"Kenny..." Katjaa tried, but it was too late. Lee was already rolling up his sleeve.
"This." He pointed to a spot on his shoulder, proudly showing the spot off. It was... A bite mark.
"She bit you?" Kenny asked. "Damnnn."
"She's a zombie?" Duck asked, oblivious. Katjaa shot Kenny a "See?" Look.
"No, no." Kenny assured his son, just as he burst out laughing.
Carley was already doubled over, laughing hysterically. Lee did the same.
"What's so funny?"
Suddenly, everyone whipped around, surprised. It was Clementine.
Lee gulped. He had forgotten about her.
"I don't know. I said that Carley was a zombie because she bit Lee, and they all cracked up." Duck said.
"Lee? She bit you?" Clem asked.
"Yeah, and he gave her a hickey, whatever that is." Duck said. Everyone cracked up again. Even Katjaa joined in.
"Lee, why did Carley bite you and what is a hickey? What are you not telling me? And once again, what's so funny?" Clem's cluelessness was adorable and it made Lee laugh all the more.
