It had been a few days since the big argument and the tension between you two had begun to affect the rest of the group who could see that the once close friendship you had with Rick Grimes was slowly falling apart.
As much as you could avoid the man who patrolled the streets you walked though, the small glances and pointed eye contact was still there. You didn't want to lose your connection with the father of two but he had somewhat forced your hand in the situation.
Your all consuming thoughts had distracted you from reality as you walked down the almost empty streets late at night in Alexandria.
You had always found that time of day the most peaceful, but one man was about to change that. "Y/N." The gruff yet sweet voice of Rick Grimes rang out behind you, loud enough for you to hear yet quiet enough to only alert you.
"What?" Turning to face him, you spoke with a hint of attitude, giving him the message that you didn't really want to speak with him.
"We need to talk." He simply stated and walked away, giving you no choice but to follow the stubborn man. Eventually you both stopped in between two houses on the outskirts of the safe zone. "I'm sorry. You were right."
The words hit you as you wasn't expecting an apology to come from Rick Grimes' mouth. "Yeah, I was." You honestly didn't know what else to say as you felt a slight awkwardness wash over the both of you. "But, I shouldn't have been so-"
"Upfront about it?" He cut you off and you nodded as he took a step closer, tilting your chin up with his fingers. "It was all my fault." He admitted, edging closer as you found yourself doing the same.
You had never noticed how breathtaking Rick Grimes truly was. It wasn't until this moment that you noticed all the small details about him, especially his eyes.
Your eyes met his one last time before your lips connected in a tense yet caring kiss. All the built up emotions from the past few days just came flooding out and you couldn't have been happier.
"I told you that I would never leave you." You whispered once you broke apart.
"Good."
