{Clementine's POV}
After everything, it's already nighttime. The stars sparkle at the night sky. I gather more firewood and Luke begin to cook dinner.
I rest for awhile. Luke light up a candle.
I raise my brow, "A candle?" Just curious.
Luke smile, "to make it smell good here." That's til I realized there's a skunk stench.
"What type of scent," I ask smiling also.
The candle smells like Christmas. I miss my dad complaining about the pine needles fall of to the ground and me and my mom decorating the tree. The lovely decorations and spending time with family.
"Mistletoe" Luke says. He stare at my leg. "How's your leg?"
"Getting better," I say. I begin to frown.
Somehow I begin to frown. Thinking of my parents, and then now I'm thinking about Lee. Lee is like my new father, helping me to survive this shitty new world filled with walkers. He taught me to shoot a gun, keep my hair short, and taught me how to survive.
Luke look up at me."You okay, Clem?" Luke asks.
"I'm fine," I answer.
"You wanna talk about it," he ask. He placed a candle between the both of us.
Why does this feels like a date? I never been on a date. Well, I think it's a date to myself.
I just stare at my food and look up at Luke. "Maybe. I don't know," I answer.
"You know, you can tell me anything," Luke says.
"I do, want to talk about it," I say
"Alright. What is it," Luke says, ready for the conversation.
"Do you remember when we talk about Lee," I asked.
"Yep, Lee who taught you to survive," Luke say.
"Yeah." I say.
"You told me he died like everyone else," Luke say.
"Well, he didn't turn," I say. I pause for a moment. "I killed him." I said it slowly. "He got bit trying to save me. I had to..."
Luke went silent.
Trying to tell someone my story was hard. It's hard to talk about someone who I cared about so much.
"I'm sorry this happened to you," Luke says.
I put my head down. Then I feel warmth in my hands. Maybe is the candle's heat coming up. I was wrong. I looked up and Luke grabbed both of my hands.
"We'll be okay, Clem. I promise."
I continued to look at him. I give a slight smile.
"You should get some sleep and relax," Luke says. He stands up and kiss my cheek.
"Night, Luke," I say, blushing.
"Night, Clem," Luke say, blushing.
Luke blows out the candle. The smell of smoke came. I lay down on the hard ground.
I touched my cheek, where Luke kissed me. I know why he kissed me. Is not about love, it's about he want to keep me safe. He cared about me.
And yes it felt like a date. Again.
{Luke's POV}
As I walk away, I pick up AJ and went back to the fire.
Poor Clem. She killed a man that was like a father to her. She's strong and becoming an adult. She's growing up in hell with walkers.
I thought to myself lately. When I kissed Clementine's cheek. Do I love her? The blushing, the worrying, and protecting her.
My heart beats. Maybe I do or maybe I don't.
I took care of AJ and watch for while.
