We Are The Saviors ~ Negan

Part 4

The clock above the door read 1:19. I watched it for a bit, trying to see if that's the actual time or that's the time the clock stopped. It didn't move. So I still have no clue what time it is. I've been up for a while now, just collecting my thoughts. I was more than happy to have been able to meet Negan and have him be kind enough to let me stay here. I kinda wish I could see more of the sweet Negan and not the stern leader he actually was.
Sitting alone in this room I just realized that Negan had been the first living person I'd seen since the disappearance of my brother right after it all started. He told me he was going to find help. He thought that it was his responsibility, as my older brother, to find us protection and comfort. But, he never came back.
I miss him. His name was Aaron. I always wonder if he's still alive. I wonder what he's been doing for the past 4 months and how he's been living.
*knock, knock*
My thoughts were interrupted by someone at my door
"Hey. Kat? You still up, doll?"
It was Negan. Thank goodness. Some company. Something I don't get much of anymore. I got up and opened the door to reveal a half naked Negan. Wearing only grey sweatpants.
"Yeah I'm up. What are you doing still awake?" I ask
"I couldn't sleep. Couldn't stop thinkin about you. Ya know. New place. What are you doing up?"
Negan cares about me. I can tell. As much as I can clearly see he's trying to hide it, he truly cares.
"Oh. Uh. It's hard for me to fall asleep... with my hair wet. I just don't like my clothes and blankets damp" I came up with the dumbest lie. First excuse that came to mind.
Negan came up to me and started to 'pet' my hair.
"Soft. I like it" He put my hair behind my ears
"Honey, is that the real reason? Or were ya just lonely?" He could clearly tell I lied.
"I guess I kinda was. I haven't had company for a while."
"You want to share secrets and braid each other's hair?" Negan asked. I couldn't tell if he was being sarcastic or not.
I decided to take the sarcastic route
"Tee hee! Of course! We're like totally besties"
Negan and I laughed at each other's stupid jokes for a good hour before I started to feel my eyes close. Slowly I fell into a deep sleep. This time dreaming about Negan and I walking around in an open field, not a care in the world
"You know Kat. I'm glad I can be here with you. Ya know. Not having to deal with anyone's bullshit anymore"
"I'm just happy it's all over. No more zombies. Just you and me. Together. Forever"
Negan kissed me lightly
"I love you" he smiled at me.
"I love you too Negan!"

That was one of the best dreams I have ever had

Ohhh! A little romance 😲
Stay tuned for what's next!
