Imagine #26 Luke x Reader

Requested by @_WandaM_

It's been so long since I played season 2 so please excuse any errors, but since i am adding in you to the story, i suppose it would be different.

~~~~~

I watched them while sitting on the wooden floor. The group was taking a moment to rest and of course, Luke and Jane were inseparable. I have utter faith in the man I call mine, but when he's around her more than me, I can't help but feel uneasy.

Speaking of feeling uneasy, it had been awhile since I had eaten and it was starting to catch up on me. My main focus was Rebecca and the newly born Alvin Junior.

I heard light laughter and looked over at Clementine and the child. She actually looked like a child herself eith him, not a hardened solider. Her eyes met mine for a moment and I saw her innocence flicker and smiled.

I put my attention back to Luke and Jane and saw Jane shuffle closer to him. My stomach proceeded to do a flip and squeeze itself. The insecurities in my mind were eating at me and I gave into them.

Maybe he only wanted me because there was nobody else. Could he really be that shallow though? I've known him my whole life pretty much.

As I continued to ponder my own self worth, Luke left Jane's side and sat beside me. Even just feeling that he was beside me gave me a little but of confidence.

"What's the matter y/n? You look like a cat's got your tongue." He wrapped his arm around my shoulders and on instinct I flinched, moreso than usual, of course he noticed.

"I don't know how to explain it, especially to you." Tears started to well up in my eyes. I felt like a teenager in high school, but I later justified it by saying that he'd been with me for years, and it was the first time I found that I doubted myself with Luke.

"What do you mean 'especially to you' have I done something?" Luke took his arm from around me and turned to face me.

I used my left hand to wipe away the tears blinding my vision. I stood up and motioned for him to follow me to the partially fallen balcony, away from everyone.

I sat back down and he sat beside me. I didn't want to create a scene for everyone else to see.

"Can I ask you an honest question that's been on my mind? I ask that you don't gaslight me, or laugh, or lie." I looked straight into his eyes with a serious expression.

Knowing how intensely serious i can get, he nodded.

I took a deep breath and listened to the growls of the walkers. Luke had protected me all these years and kept me safe, could he really betray me now?

Can a walker really think?

"Do you feel something for Jane?" I asked him and his eyes widened a bit before being filled with sadness.

"How could you-" I cut him off with a glare and he took a deep breath "I will admit, I do think of her as a friend, but with someone like you with me, why would I give that up?" He told me.

Luke reached over and grabbed my hand tightly.

"Y/n, I understand why you'd feel this way, but I would never lie to you. You mean everything to me and I'd do anything for you." He kissed my forehead lightly.

I met his eyes and leaned over for a proper kiss. I felt eyes on me and looked back at the group. Jane quickly looked away from us.

"Let's get some rest okay? It's been a really long day." Luke told me and I agreed. My eyes immediately became heavy as we walked back inside our shelter. I leaned back against a wall and rested myself on Luke.

~~~~~

When I awoke, Luke was sitting by the stairs and looked solemn. I stood up, careful not to wake up anyone else, and tapped his shoulder.

"She's gone y/n, she just left, we have strength in numbers." I could tell he added on that last part just so I wouldn't get jealous again.

"I'm sorry Luke. She's a grown woman, she can make her own decisions." It was the truth.

I grabbed his hand and sat beside him.

"She'll come back, why would she leave someone like you behind." I smiled over at my boyfriend and he grinned back.

"I'm lucky to have you." He replied.
