summary: Your boyfriend, Carl, asks you to "help him with something in his room" which you know exactly what that's code for. The two of you enjoy your alone time upstairs, until you're rudely interrupted...

The tomato in your hand glimmers in the sun as you place it in the basket with the others. Your favourite song blasts your ears through your earbuds as you admire the calming atmosphere of tending to the community gardens. You take a deep sigh, enjoying the relaxation that you hadn't felt in a long time. Just then you feel a light tap on your shoulder. You turn your head to see the silhouette of Carl casted by the sun. He reaches out a hand and helps you to your feet as you pull out your earbuds with your free hand. 

"Hey (y/n), how's the tomato picking going?" he asks, twiddling his thumbs.

"Pretty good. I still have a few more bushes to pick through but-"

"You should take a break." You furrow your eyebrows at Carl.

"But I-I just started I've only been out here a few-"

"I need some help. In my room..." Carl raises his eyebrows at you, and it clicks. This isn't the first time he "needed help in his room". You smirk at him and he blushes, too embarrassed to spit out what he really wanted. 

"Alright then. Martin," you shout over to your friend who also worked in the garden with you,"Carl needs some help at his house, mind taking over for me?" Martin nods at you and waves, signalling he's more than happy to pick up your slack. You almost reach for Carl's hand, but refrain, and he begins to walk to his house. You knew he'd desperately been wanting to keep your guys' relationship a secret. For one, he didn't want to put any target on your back. Negan knew how to manipulate and use people to get what he wants, and he didn't want you to be put in any danger. But also, he didn't want to tell his dad and Michonne about it in fear that they'd make a huge deal out of it, and start to tease him about being in love and embarrass the hell out of him. Or even worse, disapprove of you guys.

You start up the stairs of the Grimes' house, the place seemingly very quiet and empty. Carl leads you to his room, holding the door open, and then shutting it behind you. You hear him huff a sigh of relief, finally having you alone. He reaches out for you, gently grabbing your hand. You smile as he pulls you into a big hug. His face buries in your hair as he holds you as close as possible. You feel his warm breath on your neck, causing your heart to beat faster. You feel him nuzzle his face into you, before reaching up to your cheek, leaving you a small peck, that turns into another, and another. His face pulls away, looking at you closely. His face is coated with a deep blush, and he pants lightly.

"I missed you." he breathes, still holding you close. You giggle a little. 

"I saw you yesterday."

"Yeah, at a town meeting. Not alone. Not like this." He places a hand on your cheek, rubbing it with his thumb a little, before pulling your lips to his. His lips shake on yours as you kiss. You move in sync, your hands tangling up into his hair and pulling him in closer. You feel your face burn with passion, and your chest thump from your heart. Carl begins to smile in your kiss, unable to contain his happiness. He continues holding you tightly as your kiss slowly turns into small pecks, and then you pull away. You both pant heavily into each other's faces, flustered, but satisfied from the kiss. 

"That never gets old." Carl chuckles, smiling down at you. You giggle, feeling proud that your kisses still make him flustered and excited. 

"I hope it never does." He smiles at your response, leaving another quick kiss on your lips. You feel your lips buzz as he pulls away, making your whole body warm.
