Broken Lovers (a Carl Grimes Imagine)

Carl just walked past you. You can't stop looking at him and he knows that you're completely obsessed over him. But you won't admit. "He's cute. But it's the apocalypse and we haven't got time for that kinda thing."

"More like you can't take the fact that I can get a boyfriend and you can't." You smirk at your cell mate and stare out of the bared up windows. One of the girls in your cell block obsessed over him too and got herself killed. But you're to smart for that. You know how to win him and you won't stop till you do.

A couple hours later you decide to approach him when he comes round to check on your cell block. "Uhh. Hi Carl?" He looks up at you from the ground. He glares into your eyes with his Milky Way pupils. "I was thinking, could you maybe teach me a few gun tricks? I barely know any and I was wondering-"

"Yeah sure whatever. Anything else?" He doesn't seem to bothered about you, but you know how to make him care.

"Well actually there was this thing I was wondering? Could you talk to Daryl cus I have this old crossbow in my cell and I just need-"

"Why can't you? Meet me outside in like a couple hours or something outside." He doesn't care. Will he? You question this and struggle up the ladder to your cell.

You and your best friend are remembering all the dance comps you used to do. You still have it. You still know how to. And right now you're currently shaking what your momma gave you. Even though all the boys around your age are staring at you but you don't care because they haven't seen this in... Well years.

"Do you ever think about your family?" You ask your girlie partner in crime.

"Nope. Should I? I mean it just gets me in tears. I loved them to much and what they are now isn't them. I know it's weird but I can't think about them. I have had to move on." You just look at her and realise she's right. That letting it go is the only option now.

"Carl. Can we please have a break... This is killing me right now." You almost collapse but don't. You and Carl are like best friends. But you still love him.

"Shut up y/n.... *heavily breathing* we can't stop now...." He just falls to the floor and you stand over him smirking.

"Ha. See I told you, we need a break." You collapse next to him. As you roll around on the grass he props himself up onto his elbows and looks at you weirdly. "What? Don't look at me like that, I'm just embracing the beauty of the day." You giggle and sit up crossed legged.

"Look y/n I was thinking you'd maybe like to move to our cell block? Some people have been saying that you've been having sleepless nights since your best frie-"

"Don't say it Carl. And yeah whatever." You get up, grab your gun and sling it over your shoulder. As you begin to walk back into the prison Carl notices your crying and pulls you back.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to... Uh." You fall to the floor and break down. He picks you up and hugs you intently. "Y/n I'm sorry. I love you."

"I love you too- Wait what?" You look into his eyes and repeat the same question. "Carl. What?"

"I love you y/n. And I'm sorry I didn't tell you before but I thought we were just friends. I'm sorry I didn't tell you before." You smile at him and you push your lips into his. Finally, what you've wanted to do since he rescued you from that herd of walkers.

"I love you too. But promise you won't go crazy if I do... You know." You pause at the thought of that and look down at the spinning grass.

"Yeah. But nothing is gonna happen. And I promise that. Okay? Okay." He lifts your chin with his soft fingers and brushes your hair behind your ear. That's when you realise he has always cared about you. He pushes his lips into yours again and you don't hesitate to join in.

Right now you're holding hands with Carl and replacing the dead flowers on your (best) friends grave with new wild pink ones. You stare down at her grave then at Carl. He stares back. He clutches your hand and kisses it. He's so understanding and calm. You kiss his cheek and a tear falls from his cheek. "C'mon Carl... Let's go inside?" It's takes him a couple seconds to reply. But he does.

"Uhh...well...I just need to....I just want to go see my mums grave. You don't have to come. You go inside and wait for me in our cell. I'll see you in a minute okay?" You look at him and think.

"Here," you hand him a necklace he gave you, you knew it was his mums, "We shall go together. And we're going to place it on your mums grave okay?" He looks at you and smiles. He once again pushes his perfect lips into yours. He's such a great kisser. You're such a great kisser is what he tells you but really he's the one doing all the work. Instead of saying anything you smile and let him lead you hand in hand to his mums grave.

"You're such a beauty. Did you know that?" Carl tells you as you model all the once trendy clothes he picked up for you in one of the close by towns. As you rummage through what he got you, you notice that he picked you up some new bras and new knickers. "I got those cus I knew you needed new ones, and I got some for me too."

"Thank you my walker killing blob of perfection." You giggle and he laughs too.

"Are you gonna model them for me too?" You look at him surprised he even asked.

"Carl!" You slap his leg and rummage through everything else he got you. You find a clean shirt that's exactly the same to the one your wearing. You look down at your shirt and notice how worn down the once textured zebra is. Then you look at the 'kind of' newer version of it. "I love you so much." As you say that you slip on the new top. It's perfect and doesn't feel crisp of dirt and walker blood.

"I knew you would like it baby." He walks up to you and slips his arms around your waist and pulls you forward to kiss you. "Mm. Did you know that you're probably the best kisser on the face of the earth?"

"Stop saying that! I'm no good at kissing. And you know that." He pulls you in for another kiss and you push him onto the bed. You lie on top of him and kiss him intensely. The magical moment is broken by Rick calling for Carl. You look up and smile at Carl

"I'll see you in an hour gorgeous. Could you check on Judith soon?" You smile and nod at him. You watch him walk out and then close your eyes. You remember about Judith and get up to check on her.

Tomorrow Carl's leaving for a 4 to 5 day trip with Daryl, Rick and Glenn. He's tried to get out of going but Rick said they need help carrying all the supplies. You can't sleep because you want to spend as much time as you possibly can with Carl. You love him so much. "Carl I'm scared..." He sits up and looks at you.

"Why beautiful?" He rubs your hand in between his hands.

"I don't want anything to happen that's all. Like what if you never came back?" A tear falls from your cheek and he catches it.

"Don't think like that. You know that no matter what happens I'm coming back. Do you know why?"

"Why?" You don't really know if he's telling the truth but you need to think positive.

"Because I love you. And I wouldn't let you worry like that. Look I know I'm going to be gone for a couple days but I need you to help Beth with Judith and I need you to stay strong." He kisses your cheek and you smile.

"I'll try my Mr Carl Grimes." You put your forehead to his and look down at your hands that are placed in his. He motions forward and kisses you.

"That's my gorgeous girl. I love you. Now get some sleep okay. Goodnight baby."

He touches your lips with his again. You don't want this moment to ever end so you push your lips into his. He bites your lip softly and you reply finally.

"Goodnight. I love you."

"I love you too." You lie down and he wraps his arms around your waist and falls gently asleep.
