Devilish Soul (Negan x reader)

xi. sunlight

The sun danced up into the sky, the world was waking up. My eyes opened, and I looked up at Negan. He was fast sleep, and breathing softly. Standing, I got up and walked over to the kitchen area in the house we were in to look for food, and found empty cupboards.

I walked back over to Negan and kissed his forehead. "I'll be back, my love." I whispered, and walked toward the door. I walked out the door quietly and headed to the house next door, I knocked on the door softly, and Rick answered. He looked tired, and he was shirtless. He just stood there waiting for me to say something.

"Do you have any... Food...?" I asked shyly, not wanting to sound greedy. He rubbed his eyes and motioned for me to come in. I walked in and followed him to his kitchen. He grabbed me a can of fruit from the cupboard and handed it to me. "Fruits all we got. After..." He paused, looking at me, remembering who I came here with.

"After what..?" I asked, wanting to know. I hated when people didn't finish what they were saying to me. It annoyed the hell outta me. He stood there until finally gathering the courage to say it. "After Negan came and took all of our food, ammo, and mattresses. Oh and may I add, he burned all of our mattresses for the hell of it?" He took a deep breath. "Sorry, I apologize.."

He bit his lip and combed his hair with his fingers. "I-it's okay... I hadn't realized what Negan had done... I found out about... The bat... And I'm sorry for the loss of your friends.. I really am... Negan is too... He's changed... Ever since he met me, at first he scared the hell out of me, but after a while, I've gotten used to him, and I love him." I replied.

He gave me a sad look. "I'm sorry for shooting him, it's just... He's made me nervous for weeks... He just comes in and orders things from us that we don't have... He threatens to kill more people... I just can't take it..." He fell to his knees with tears in his eyes. I stood in shock, then I knelt beside him.

"We'll bring you some supplies during our next visit, I promise." I held out my pinkie finger, he looked at it and smiled a bit. He locked pinkies with me and shook pinkies with me. "Pinkie promise." I said, standing up. He stood up and smiled at me with gratitude. He could feel that I was going to keep that promise.

"Thank you. Thank you so much... I.. I have two children to take care of... And it's hard having to struggle like this in front of them..." He said, wiping tears from his face. I had thought he was stronger earlier, but he's just like me, worried about the ones I love.. He's human after all...

I smiled and walked out of his house. Negan was sitting outside of the house on the bench, holding his side. I ran up to him. "Negan.. You should be.."

He stopped me. "We should get going... I don't want to make these people nervous any more.." He said, standing up.

I walked him to the truck and started the engine. I'd never driven a truck this big before, so it was a strange experience. Rick came running up to the truck, I looked down to him and leaned out the window. "See you in a few days." I said with a smile. He smiled back and ran to open the gates for us. I shook his hand before we left, sealing our mutual deal for certain.

I drove the truck out of the gates, and that was all. I would tell Negan what plans Id set up with Rick, about the food and guns. But not now, I'd wait until later.

After a while, we made it back to the sanctuary and I walked Negan to his room. I lied him on the bed and put the blanket over him. He smiled as I lay beside him, wrapping my arm around him gently.

We fell asleep once more...
