The Thoughts I'll Never Tell (part 2)

Imagine: (Carl's POV) part two

We were all stressed and pacing around in a train car. We found everyone else but were being held captive by the people of Terminus. I was trying to come up with ideas on how to get us out of here but we were trapped. There's no loose piece of wood, no chipped corner. Nothing. Noting but darkness and the people I loved most. I just hope this isn't the last time I see them.

This train car was filled with black darkness. There was no light coming in. It smelled like dead rats and rotten food. The air was stuffy.  They took our weapons so it's not like we can even shoot the door down.

I looked over to see (Y/N). She sat in the corner with her knees up to her chest. She hid her face in her knees, she was probably crying. I got up and walked towards her.

No, (Y/N) and I aren't dating but I still love her. I see her as this beautiful and powerful warrior princess. She still sees me as a friend.

I slid down the wall and sat next to her. "Hey, you okay?" I asked, rubbing her arm. "No, I'm super scared their gonna hurt us" she answered. I placed my hand onto her cheek and wiped the tears from her face. (Y/N) leaned her head onto my hand. "No one will hurt us. I'll make sure to protect you" I said trying to calm her down. "Thanks Carl, I can always count on you. You're such a great friend" she smiled.

There it was again... "Friend". I was now officially hating that word. I groaned. "What's wrong?" (Y/N) asked me concerned. "That word. You keep saying it" I replied. "What word?" She asked, cluelessly placing her hand on my knee. "Friend. (Y/N) I don't want to be your friend. I love you. I'm head over heels in love with you. I'll even quote your favorite movie 'I'm hopelessly devoted to you'. (Y/N) I want you to be mine. Please, I can't take being friends when I love you so god damn much" I stated.

I gazed at her face, trying to seek out what she was thinking. "Carl, I don't really know what to say. I mean, obviously I would love to be with you but the thought of a boyfriend is more terrifying than walkers. I don't know what love is" she whispered, shyly. "So, I'll teach you what love is. Please, (Y/N) give me a chance." I asked her desperately.

(Y/N)'s head bounced up and down, nodding. I smiled and kissed her without thinking. "Sorry" I apologized, pulling away from her soft, pink lips. I think we both knew that I wasn't sorry though. I've waited for that small kiss ever since I met her. "It's okay. I liked it" she giggled. I placed my hand on her cheek and went to kiss her again when we heard Glenn cough. "Guys I'm pretty sure Daryl would rather hear (Y/N) sing than see you two kiss again" Glenn said.

(Y/N) and I laughed. Then we both sang "I'm hopelessly devoted to you".
