Young Love (Gabentine Fics)

The Dare

(Based Slightly Off The Game)

We finally saved Richmond and killed off all the walkers inside. It took almost a year but, we reinforced the walls to be stronger and keep out the bad guys. Javi became the leader of the community and made me his right hand man. I've matured from being by his side and helping him make the right decisions for the community. That didn't stop me from crushing on Clementine.

She was gone for 5 months and I waited on top of the gate everyday at sundown. Watching for any sign of her or AJ. The day I seen that blue cap and red jacket again, my heart didn't belong to me anymore. I threw open the gate and ran to her and AJ. Clementine looked surprised at seeing me and I brought both of them into a hug. That was the happiest day of my life.

That was almost two months ago and I've been getting shit from Javi ever since. He keeps telling me to tell her how I feel but, Javi doesn't understand that Clementine doesn't do feelings. Besides she'll just shoot me down before I can say hello. But, I deal with it and move on with my life.

Well, until I screwed it up one night.

Me and Javi were kicking back after a long day and drinking a couple beers. Javi was talking about how he loved Kate and that he would do anything for her. I almost puked when he talked about having sex with her. He finally shut up and set his gaze on me, mischievously.

"So, Gabe, how's your love life going?"

"Oh fuck off, Javi."

He lets out a laugh and slaps a hand on my shoulder.

"Gabe, how about a little dare? If you do it, I'll let you have two days off and do what you want. If you don't, you do my chores on top of yours."

I don't like the way his eyes are glinting but, the two days off sound really good. I nod my head at him to tell me the dare and spit out my beer hearing it.

"Gabe, I dare you to go up to Clem and tell her to fuck you."

Beer flys from my mouth and on Javi's face and I start choking on it. Javi wipes his face off and pounds on my back. I catch my breath and wipe my mouth.

"Javi, are you out of your goddamn mind?!"

"Maybe. But, at least I'm not a chicken."

I roll my eyes at him as he starts making chicken noises. I hear a door open and close and look up to see Clementine leaving her house.

"Now's your chance, Gabe. It's easy just tell her that and then say it was a joke. Easy peasy."

The amount of alcohol in my blood forces my brain to decide it's a good idea and I'm on my feet before I know it. I'm thinking about what Clementine might do to me and get to castration when I find myself in front of Clem. She turns to me and gives me a slight smile.

"Oh hey, Gabe. Was there something you needed?"

My brain starts running and my mouth opens before I can stop it.

"Quiero que me folles."

Her eyebrows furrow and before she can speak again, I take off to my house. I faintly hear Javi call after me.

"Gabe, you lil shit! I meant in English!"

As my head hits my pillow, I thank anyone who's listening that Clementine doesn't know Spanish.

Sunlight streams in through my window and I squint my eyes at it. I look over and see that it's time to get up and start the day. I brush my teeth and throw on a new set of clothes before going into the kitchen. Javi is making pancakes and Kate is sipping coffee and reading a book. Javi looks up and sees me before giving me a smirk.

"Hey, sleeping beauty! About time you got up. Here have a pancake and cup of coffee!"

I look suspiciously at the food before shrugging my shoulders and digging in. The morning goes by smoothly and everything is fine. I haven't seen Clementine all day and find that a good and bad thing. Good because I wouldn't be able to face her today and bad because I don't see her beautiful face.

Javi agreed to letting me off the two days because he didn't specify that I had to say the phrase in English. He's been in a really good mood since last night and I don't know why.

But, it's freaking me the fuck out.

However, I figure out the reason at dinner.

Kate was cooking up a big dinner and said we were having a couple of guests over. I let it go and head upstairs to take a shower and freshen up. Imagine my surprise when I come back down to see AJ and Clementine sitting at our dining table. I send Javi the nastiest look and sit beside AJ. Dinner was filled with Javi telling Clementine about what she missed while she was gone and I was talking to AJ about how big he's gotten. My food was tasting a little bland and I scan the table for the salt. Which is located in front of Clementine. Fuck.

"Hey, Clem, can you pass me the salt?"

"Por supuesto."

I freeze at the sound of Spanish coming fluently from her. Javi notices my shock and gives me a smirk.

"What do you think, Gabe? Me and Clementine have been practicing her Spanish for the last couples weeks. She knows a lot of certain phrases."

I swallow thickly at that and look at Kate.

"Um, I'm not feeling to good. I think I'll head up and turn in for the night. The food was great, Kate. Clem, AJ, I'll l see you guys later."

With that being said, I bolt into my room and shut the door. I'm not laying down for 2 minuets when there's a knock at my door. I groan and get up to answer it and tell Javi to leave me alone. But, I stop when I see Clementine on the other side. She quirks an eyebrow at me before giving me a smile. Clementine leans up to me and whispers in my ear.

"Next time, ask me in English and I might agree."
