We'll Meet Again (Clementine x Fem!reader)

Our Escape (Part II)

"She loves me more."

1st Person

I ended up following Clem to the corner of the garden area, my heart pounding and calm persona out. I wasn't sure if she was going to ask about Duck and I's conversation, and I was really hoping she wouldn't.

Y/N: "What is it?" I started.

Clementine wasn't going to answer me instantly, and I predicted it, but... please just say something. Anything.

Y/N: "Clementine?"

She refused to meet my gaze, her eyes focused on the pebbles scattered around the cracked cement. I could read her like an open book, and I knew it was mutual for her too. She waited, likely thinking of a way to throw me off.

Clementine: "In the lodge..."

Here we go.

Clementine: "...I overheard something."

Y/N: "You did?" Damnit Y/n.

Clementine: "I did."

She finally met my eyes, hers were full of curiosity... it seemed as if she wanted to smile.

My eyes were definitely deceiving me...

Y/N: "What was it?"

Clementine: "Don't mess around with me, L/n," She glared.

She was very serious, and I was definitely not going to mess around with her. I cleared my throat, maybe a little too excessively, and kept my head high.

Y/N: "Did you actually hear something?"

She waited again. God I just wanted to shake her.

Clementine: "Duck said something like... 'She's not going to date you'. What did he mean by that?"

I could feel my cheek rise in heat; I was going to kill Duck. But at the time, I was desperate to leave the conversation.

Y/N: "Duck was just being Duck. It wasn't anything too serious," I waved my hand slightly.

Clementine: "Y/n," She said sternly.

Y/N: "...Yes?"

Clementine: "Tell me the truth."

I took a deep breath, thinking of a way I could get out this situation. I closed my eyes; I couldn't think. All those horrible thoughts I've always had came to me as fast as lighting, but this was different. I couldn't think, I couldn't look at her, I couldn't do anything. I just wanted to disappear and never come back—

Then I felt soft lips on my cheek.

I opened my eyes and looked up, spotting a small and gentle smile on Clementine's face as she pulled away.

Holy shit.

2nd Person

You slowly woke up to Troy firmly kicking your stomach. Opening your eyes, you stared up at him, irritated.

Y/N: "What is it?"

Troy: "Get up. Bill's gonna have a word."

You sighed, exhausted, and slowly stood up. Clementine came from the other bunk and stayed by your side, slightly nudging you.

Clementine: "Heavy sleeper?"

Y/N: "All of it was uncomfortable."

She made a small smile; after that night, it seemed her spirit was lifted.
