"Ronnie boy! Get up! It's Alexandria day!" Negan exclaimed, banging on Ron's door and waking him up.
"I'll be there!" Ron called back, excited to see Carl and all the other Alexandrians.

He got up, quickly going over to get ready.
Carl was all he could think about.
He couldn't wait to hug him and kiss him again.

Ron skipped down the halls with his bright smile the sanctuary had never seen.

"What's got you so happy?" "Fat" Joey asked as Ron walked outside.
Jessie and Pete had always taught Ron not to comment on people's bodies, but Joey seemed to like that nickname.
"Yeah. I've like never seen you smile like that before kid. Or, well, ever, now that I think of it." Gary asked, leaning on the truck.
"A man can't just be happy?" Ron asked.
"You've got a girlfriend in Alexandria or something? I can't see another reason for such excitement." Fat Joey said, smiling himself now.
"Woah! Hold on there fat Joey! Ronnie boy here, is gay. Don't go jumping to conclusions like that." Negan said, walking over with Lucille over his shoulder.
"Oh. Oh! Sorry. You got a boyfriend in Alexandria or something Ronnie?" Fat Joey corrected his previous question.

"Not this fucking shit again I swear to fucking god." Ron said, storming off in anger.
"What did I do? Should I not have asked that?" Joey said, genuinely concerned he had upset Ron.
"I don't know man. He gets real touchy about relationships." Simon said, having watched the interaction.
"You know how we found that kid in the woods all banged up?" Negan said, looking at the rest of the group.
"Yeah. I'm still surprised he lived, and I'm not just talking about the bites." Dwight chimed in.
"Me too. I think a boyfriend or something of the sort had something to do with that shit." Negan said in a hushed tone to the other men.
"Really? You think his boyfriend stabbed him like that and threw him to the walkers?" Joey wondered out loud.
"Could have. I don't know. I wouldn't say anything else about boys to him. Obviously there's some sort of trauma there." Negan said, wishing he could help Ron through it some how.

"Are we fucking leaving or what!?" Ron shouted, throwing the door open and walking towards the men.
"Yes! Get your ass in the truck and let's go kid." Negan exclaimed with a smile.

...

"The saviors are coming today. I'm sure Ron will be with them. Remember, he doesn't want Negan to know that he has a history here.
Let's act like we don't know him, ok?" Rick reminded the Alexandrians.
Carl crossed his arms. He hates acting like he doesn't know his own boyfriend.
"I wish I didn't know him." Mikey joked.
"Literally shut up." Enid said.
She was happy Ron was ok, and found Mikey's jokes quite annoying.
"You're not even funny." Carl said, also annoyed.
"I think I am." Mikey said quietly to himself.

...

"Rick! How I've missed you!" Negan joked, walking towards Rick.
Rick said nothing, rather looking around at the group of saviors descending upon Alexandria, Ron included.
"Don't worry. They won't hurt anyone. We're just here for a pickup. Although Ron over there, the boy with the blonde hair? I can't make any promises." Negan made another joke, knowing that Ron was the most docile of all his lieutenants.
"Yeah I'm sure." Rick replied, thinking Ron looked quite harmless whether he knew him or not.
"Was that sarcasm?! Rick I didn't know you were capable of that." Negan said with a big smile.

Ron stood a bit awkwardly.
He didn't want to be to friendly with his fellow saviors or Alexandrians.
He didn't want the either side to think he liked the other, although he definitely preferred the Alexandrians.

Bang!

A gun shot caught Ron's attention.
"What the hell was that?!" Negan said with anger.
No one should be shooting anything without his permission.
