Harley climbed from Negan's lap with a light smirk, pressing two fingers to her lips before putting them to his.
"Another night."  She repeated before pulling down her shirt again and tiptoeing back to bed.
The gruff man sat up slightly, tilting his head after her as he watched her hips sway naturally; Negan grumbled, pressing his palm to his forehead before slouching further in his position and covering his lap with his jacket. Harley climbed into bed, tucking herself under the comforter as she rested her head on the mattress.
She still wasn't sure if she could sleep, hearing the echoing growls of the monsters not far outside; how anyone could sleep in any condition out among those things was beyond her. Harley forced her eyes shut, pulling the comforter further up to her ear, pressing both hands to muffle the noises.
It drove her battier than the voices already in her head.

The next morning, Harley peeked her face out from under the covers, wincing at the light shining through the window. A knock at the door caused her to slowly turn her head, squinting her eyes at the hefty figure in the doorway.
"Negan?" She mumbled cutely, slowly shifting to sit up.
"Sorry, Harley. Just me, with breakfast." Joseph muttered, holding up a plate and cup of water.       Immediately, Harley's mood changed, perking up and flashing an egregious smile.
"It's my big man." She lightly clapped her hands together, "What's to eat?"
Joey looked at the plate in his hand, "Uh, toast and fruit. We didn't have anymore eggs."
"That's okay. You don't gotta lie...you want those eggs all to yourself." Harley snarled playfully, leaning forward as she shimmied her shoulders, "It's okay. I won't tell."   She winked which caused Joey to avert his eyes and blush.
"Here you go. W-when you're done, Negan wants to meet you outside."  The robust man set down Harley's plate then her glass of water.
Harley nodded, "Okay, thank you...What's your name again?"
"J-Joey."                    She grinned devilishly as she reared up on all fours, "Joey...thank you."
Negan stood outside, holding Lucille over his shoulder as he spoke to his legion of followers. His eyes scanned across the faces among him, not sure where one of his men had gone off to.
"Where the fuck is my man Dwight?" He staggered with emphasis on each word, his voice raising to cause a slight shock among his people.
Everyone remained quiet, not sure of how to respond to their leader's question; while Negan waited around for someone to come forward with an answer, one of his men stepped close and whispered that half of their medicine supply was gone.  He kept a stern face, his jaw tightening as he nodded over his shoulder to his man.
Negan could only come to his own conclusions, feeling that the situation would arise sooner or later.
"That motherfucker!" He chuckled deviantly, causing his people to cringe.      Negan brought Lucille down and took a hefty swing at the air, then turned and caught a glimpse of Harley emerging from the RV.  A slight smirk appeared on his lips as he took in her outfit: jeans and a long-sleeve shirt, still wearing the same boots she had been found in.
"Well ain't it my little ray a sunshine?" He returned Lucille over his shoulder as he held his hand out for her.
Harley grinned as she strode towards Negan; the leader shooed his people away, pointing a finger to his men as they knew what to do.
"Not a ray of sunshine yet." She scrunched her nose girlishly before beaming at the melee weapon over Negan's shoulder.              He noticed her shifting eyes and his smile broadened, "You wanna hold her, don't you?"
Harley kept calm as she shrugged, "I mean, I guess."
Negan chortled, amused, "Alright, well why don't we go on a little test run?"
"What do you mean? Ou-outside of here?"
"What? Don't think you could handle it?" Negan furrowed his eyes playfully at the petite girl before him.
Harley scoffed, rolling her eyes at the big man before her. "Oh, believe me. I can handle it."  She poked at his chest.
"Alright, then let's load up and head out for an hour."
The blonde pursed her bangs from her face, "Make it two."
Negan smirked boyishly while chuckling, "Oh-hoh, you are so on, peach."
