Feral (Gabentine Fic)

Watch Me

Gabe was now patched up and sleeping peacefully in my bed. Eleanor worked hard while Kate never let go of Gabe. She nearly fell to her knees when I brought Gabe to her room, Kate sobbed upon seeing her baby boy again. After I pried Kate off of Gabe, Eleanor began cleaning and stitching him up. I smiled when I remembered the last time Gabe needed stitches and slept in my bed. The two had left an hour ago but, I still sat beside Gabe and never let go of his hand. My fingers trailed across his rough palm and traced the old scars that were on his wrists. A feeling spread through my chest and it was a feeling that I hadn't felt in a long time, happiness.

"Clementine.....Clem.....Clemmy."

I felt myself being nudged and swatted the offending hand away. Said hand kept lightly jabbing my sides and finally touched one of my, very few, ticklish spots. I squealed and bolted up right and rammed my head right into Gabe's.

"Ow, fuck!"

I rubbed my head as Gabe did as well before realizing where I was. My body was not in the chair where I had slept last night/early morning, it was now laying beside Gabe in bed. My mouth looked like a fishes mouth out of water, opening and closing with no sound coming out. Gabe smiled at my speechlessness and closed my mouth gently with his hand.

"You didn't look comfortable in that chair and this is your bed to begin with. Besides this bed was big enough for both of us and I didn't try anything."

I began to speak but Gabe held up a hand, signaling me to be quiet, and looks at the closed door to our left. Gabe's eyes widen and he jumps out of bed and stands in the corner, far away from me but not out of range from my questioning eyes. Before I can even ask what he's doing, the door bursts open and I'm shocked at our visitors. Lee and Kenny stand in the doorway, looking furiously at Gabe as he is standing in my room with only a pair of basketball shorts on.

"You son of a bitch!"

I see a flash of fear in Gabe's eyes as he hears Lee's words and he sprints past the two and out of the room. Lee and Kenny quickly chase after him while I scrambled out of bed, grab my gun and also take pursuit. I hear shouts coming from outside and will my legs to move faster and finally make it outside where everyone is circled around Gabe. Kate is standing in front of him and Javi is standing beside her, protecting him from the others. I push my way through the people and stand in front of the two who have kept Gabe from me.

Lee and Kenny.

Their gazes leave Gabe as they look down at me and try pushing me aside.

"Clementine, get away from that monster."

I felt something snap in me at Lee's words and his hands tugging me away from Gabe was the last straw. My arm swung back and my fist connected with Lee's nose with a satisfying crunch. My hand stung like a bitch but it was well worth it after hearing his insult.

"Don't you ever fucking call him that again."

The others helped Lee as his nose started pouring out blood and they glared at me. Kenny, who was standing in shock of my actions, came out of it and pointed at Gabe.

"I think it's time everyone knows about his little secret! This little prick is a werewolf! And don't give me them looks, they've been keeping it a secret from us. But, it's time everyone knows about what kind of beast you are! That's why we kept him locked up and chained down, so he wouldn't hurt us. Lee seen him transform in front of him and take apart one of David's men."

I glared at Kenny as he finished his rant about Gabe and Lee had finally recovered from my punch. He stood on wobbly legs and, with Lilly's help, walked up to me. I walked backwards as he closed in on me and I felt myself run into something hard. I turned around and seen Gabe staring down Lee and Kenny. Lee hesitated upon seeing the look he was receiving from Gabe but matched it with one of his own. The others were still looking on with doubt in their eyes about the whole werewolf thing but didn't take their eyes off of the intense scene.

Javi, who had been silent through this entire confrontation, stepped forward.

"It's true. Everything Kenny has said is true. Gabe is a werewolf, as fucking weird as that sounds, but it is true. You don't have to believe but it's the truth. And as for you two. If you ever touch my nephew again, I will personally put you in whatever you had Gabe in and leave you to the walkers. Understand?"

Lee and Kenny glared at Javi but nodded their heads. I turned around to check on Gabe and felt myself get pulled back once more from Gabe. I whipped around to see Lee and Kenny tugging me away from Gabe and over to them.

"And you are not going to be anywhere near him, Clementine."

Anger rushed through me again at Lee's words and I carefully removed myself from their grasp. My eyes connected with Gabe's the first time through this whole ordeal and I smirked at him. Gabe looked confused at my expression but nodded at me. My head turned slightly to look back at Lee and Kenny and gave them a challenging look.

"Oh yeah? So, I'm not allowed to be anywhere near Gabe? Or even touch him?"

"Hell. No."

"Watch me."

After that, I marched straight up to Gabe. My eyes connected with Gabe's once more as I closed in on him and he looked intrigued at what I was about to do. My feet had me standing in front of Gabe sighing seconds and my hands shot out for his neck and pulled him in. My lips crashed into his and I heard gasps from all around us but the only thing I could think about was how good Gabe's lips felt on mine and how he eagerly responded. Another thought crossed my mind and it had me smiling into the searing kiss.

I waited way too long to do this.
