Young Love (Gabentine Fics)

Find You (Part 2)

I stare at Gabe in awe before tackling him in a hug. Completely forgetting that we have an audience.

"How do you two know each other?"

I frown when I hear that assholes voice and ruins our moment. I open my mouth to tell him to shut the fuck up but, I'm cut off by Gabe.

"We knew each other before the dead started to rise. We went to the same school."

I pull back from Gabe and give him a look when he slightly furrows his eyebrows at me. I catch on and go with the lie.

"Whatever. Just get her out of this cell and take her to your house. The guards are getting tired of hearing her shout at them."

David exits and leaves us alone. Gabe pulls me into another hug and lifts me up and twirls me around. I playfully slap him to let me down and he reluctantly does so. Gabe gives me one last smile before turning and calling out for me to follow him. We walk together through a sketchy looking community and finally stop in front of a nice looking house. Gabe takes a set of keys from his pocket and opens the front door for me.

"Welcome to your new home, mi hermosa."

I cross my arms stubbornly and frown at him.

"Who said I was staying here with you?"

Gabe starts stuttering out an apology for assuming that I was staying with him. My facade breaks and I burst out laughing at his face.

"Gabe, I'm just fucking with you! You should've seen the look on your face! I guess I can stay with you since I don't have anywhere else to go."

He gives me a warm smile and guides me inside. The house is warm and cozy and makes me feel something I haven't felt in ages.

Safe

Gabe takes my hand in his and leads me upstairs. I feel my face grow warm from his gesture and quickly calm down before he notices. We enter a large room that has a bed and dresser in it.

"So, this will be your room. It has a queen size bed and there's new bedding in one of the drawers of your dresser. There's also a bathroom right across the hall. My bedroom is right beside yours so, if you need anything just holler. I also have some spare clothes you can wear as pajamas tonight and go get you some tomorrow."

I'm blown away from how nice Gabe is treating me and pull him into a big hug.

"Thank you, Gabe. I've missed you so much and thought you were dead and that I was alone again."

I feel his arms bring me in tighter and become surrounded by his body.

"I will never leave you again, Clem, I don't think I could take it."

Wetness runs down my cheek and I find myself wiping away tears. Gabe wipes them away and gives me a kiss on the forehead before laying me down on the bed.

"I'll let you rest up and wake you for dinner. I'm making spaghetti and meatballs."

My eyelids become heavy and start to shut them. I mumble another thanks to Gabe and pass out.

My dreams are filled with Gabe and I getting married and starting a family. The dream seems so real and I don't want to wake up but, Gabe shook me awake anyways. We head downstairs and I smell some food that makes my mouth water. I dig in immediately and it only takes me moments to finish off my full plate. Gabe finishes soon after me and collects dishes and heads to the kitchen. I help wash up the dishes with him and remember one little detail that I almost forgot.

I'm in love with Gabe

My mood turns sour because I know he will never feel the same for me. My heart breaks a little inside and I stalk upstairs to my room. Gabe calls after me but, I ignore him and keep walking. I throw myself on my bed like a drama queen and place my head into a pillow. I must've been pretty out of it because I didn't even here Gabe come in. The mattress dipped under his weight as he lays down beside.

"Clem, what's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"Clementine Marsh. You better tell me or else."

I roll my eyes at his slight threat and don't say a word. Bad move because he flipped me over and straddled my hips. I blush at our position and try to move him off of me. Gabe stays firm on me and let out a annoyed sigh.

"You want to know what my problem is? You. It's always been you."

Gabe's face falls at my confession and looks heartbroken. I realize how mean I sounded and go to apologize but, get cut off.

"Alright then. I'll just leave you alone."

He starts getting off of me and I start to panic.

I gotta tell him

"Gabe. It's always been you because I love you. I know you don't and that's fine."

Gabe lets out a small indescribable sound and I glance up at his face but, feel my face get pulled forward. His lips meet mine and I see fireworks and sparks and all that other cliche shit. We breakaway from each other and Gabe gives me a sly smile.

"I've loved you ever since I met you and thought you were too badass for a loser like me."

I scoff at him and lightly hit his shoulder.

"I may have been badass but, I am still a teenage girl. And found that I love you, loser or not."

Gabe just smiles again and gives me a small peck on the lips.

"I'm so glad we found each again."

"Me too."
