TWD-One Shots

Regan- RickXNegan

It was a hot summer day as fifth grader Rick Grimes stood out on the field, baseball bat weakly held in his hands. Huffing and puffing, his eyes were glued to the dusty dirt- call that his future.

"Your form is incorrect. Your legs should be spread apart, knees bent. And your arms should be at a 30 degree angle when yer up ta bat."
Rick sighed slowly trying to get his shit together leaning against his bat. He glared up at the kid sitting up on the gated fence. "Negan, this is ridiculous." Rick said letting his bat fall to the ground.

Rick recently signed up for the school's baseball team try-outs. He had never been in any sports and no friend he had never showed any interest- except Negan. One of the most experienced baseball players throughout all Atlanta schools.

"Don't treat Lucille like that. Pick her up." Negan demanded. Rick chewed his lip fighting back a retort. He always hated how his friend talked about his bat like it was a real living person.

"I can't do this anymore, man. I can't." Rick sighed falling down on the ground while resting Lucille in his lap. Negan rolled his eyes jumping down from his seat. He bent down next to Rick's side holding out a rag while Rick gratefully took it and wiped his forehead.

"Do ya wanna make the team or not?" Negan questioned.
"Of course I do, but-"
"Then wake up and smell the flowers, Rick, 'cause it's gonna take a lot more than this!" Negan blurted, pointing a finger in Rick's face. Rick looked like he had just seen a massacre. As soon as the strict attitude left Negan, a smile soon crossed his face as his eyes shone sympathetically.

"Comon. You may be shit at this right now, but you'll get better. How do ya think I did it? Definitely not by sitting around on my ass like you. No, sir." He chuckled offering his hand. The tired boy's eyes gazed over to the orange sky. Rick had been practicing for four hours and so far, he wasn't making any progress. He was happy Negan agreed to help him, but he didn't realize this whole thing would've been the definition of hell.

Rick got up and dusted himself off while Negan handed Lucille back to him. "Here's how ya do it." Negan said as he put Rick's empty hand to wrap around Lucille while holding his arms at a correct angle. "You hold her like this." Negan instructed. "Now your feet." Rick reluctantly shuffled around till he got his footing correct.

"When you swing, wait till the ball's about six feet away from ya, then you strike."
Rick lazily nodded while his eyelids began to flutter. Negan hands were still on Rick's as he felt a thump on his chest.

"Rick! What are ya doin-"
Negan's mouth snapped shut as he noticed the snoozing boy in his arms. Sighing, Negan swung Lucille over his shoulder glancing at a nearby tree not too far from the main field.

------
By the time Negan reached his destination, he slumped down forgetting that Rick was still in a deep slumber causing him to unconsciously fall on his friend. "If you were this tired, ya shoulda just said so." Negan huffed. He looked up at the sky, then back down at Rick. He noticed how calm and serene the boy looked as he slept. If only those ocean blue eyes would look at him the same way his chocolate brown ones did.

Negan sighed resting his hand against his face. Damn, just lookin' at him is making me sleepy.'
Negan stared longingly at his friend sleeping in his lap. If Rick were awake, he wouldn't give so much as a glace to show such feelings. Even if Rick could be a whiny little bitch at times, Negan still found it so adorable.

He could feel his eyelids getting heavy. "Dammit. If ya weren't...so dirty I...woulda...kissed you...by now..." Negan mumbled, passing out.

So I've started a new little series on my page. Twd oneshots/imagines. My friend wanted a Regan fanfiction after she found out about the Rickyl ones shots and kid AU's in the past. So, alas, this was born. I feel meh about it but for the people who enjoy RickXNegan, here you go. Hope you enjoyed.😊❤

Also, I'm doing requests, and it can be any pairing, really. Just give me the shipping name and the main plot and I'll do my best writing it. Thanks! ^^
