Humanity (Carl Grimes Gay)

Bruises

'Hey , Layne ?' Carl says , coming to sit on the bed 'Dad said I could go on a walk , do you wanna come ?'

'I can't , love'

'Well why not ?' He furrow his eyebrows

'I'm restricted from basically doing anything'

'Oh yeah ...' The frown that appeared on his face broke my heart , but I couldn't change what I did 'I'll just stay here with you then'

'Don't , go take your walk' I grin 'You're young - you should get your energy out'

'But you'll be lonely ...'

'I'll be fine' I sigh , lying on my back on the bed , feet locking at my ankles 'I'm sure Niyk would enjoy taking a walk with you'

'Niyk is too busy sucking Lyric's dick' He pouts , climbing up my body to straddle my waist

'Baby doll , stop' I chuckle

'I'm serious !' He squeaks before frowning 'I miss Luke'

'I know you do' I nod 'But don't single Niyk out just because of it'

'I'm not ! I'm just not good at making friends' He rolls off of me and faces the wall

I chuckle , sweeping some hair from his neck 'Stop pouting , love'

'You don't understand ...'

'But I do , I promise I do'

'Hate to break up your spooning session , but we're burning Tony if you wanna come' K.C. knocks on the cell door before walking away

'You wanna go ?'

'I don't really wanna see someone's dead body get burned' He sighs

'Look - I was mad , okay ?' I explain , sitting up to slip on my boots 'I'd appreciate if you would realize that I don't need you to support it ; I just need you to accept it'

'You're a murderer'

'Do you know what he could've done to you ?' I sneer , standing up and turning around to look him in the eye

'...Yes'

'You're welcome'

-

I decided I would go - i mean , I was the one that killed him . Carl can be mad all he wants , but I did all these people a favor . All they were gonna do was torture him so why not go as far as killing him ?

I walk outside and walk to our fire square , looking at everyone's faces . Lance was holding Tony's dead body by his ear , letting him drag across the ground

'Would anyone like to say anything ?' Bailee asks quietly

'Just burn his ass' Johanna rolls her eyes

'Cool' Lance nods , tossing the dead corpse into the fire

Bailee begins sobbing - Jesus Christ , were they fucking ?

Lux spits into the fire before balling up his fists 'He took most of our food , all of our time , almost Layne's arm - so don't fucking shed a tear'

'He's right' Lyric shrugs 'But he's gone now so let's not get mad about it any more'

'Alright , I think we're done here' Lance speaks up , beginning to walk away with K.C. , Johanna , and Lux

'Why're you so upset ?' I ask , looking a Bailee

'Because this is what we've turned into' She sniffs 'It's awful'

'Bailee , I'm gonna say this nicely' I deadpan 'You're an idiot'
