My Walking Dead One Shots

Stop Staring | Rick Grimes xReader

A/n: I will be updating soon I've just been super busy. I hope you guys enjoy this. Also excuse the fact that some of this might not make sense. It was late when I finished this.

"Ok maybe I could go with this but I want to look good." Shaking your head you slip off a sea green dress. Throwing it onto your bed, not even caring where it is at this point. Looking at yourself in the mirror before turning to the nearby closet. Now pointing at yourself in the mirror chanting." You can do this y/n! Don't give up and cry like a baby!" feeling more energized by your pep talk you breath and continue.

The reason why you are beyond stressed is because new people have joined Alexandria and once every month. Everyone in the community gets together and has a good time. It's basically Thanksgiving and Christmas in the end of the world. And tonight you had to make a good impression because you liked for people to like you. Your mother always said *cue annoying motherly voice* "First impression is the only impression you have my dear child! If you are not dressed correctly people will look down on you!" That naggy voice is what drives you yup the wall.

Making a few side glances at yourself scrunching your nose as you dive into your closet. That you share with your boyfriend Rick. He is basically the leader of the community you two currently live together. With his two children Carl and Judith who are the sweetest little thing. But back to the issue at hand people I need to find something to wear. Since everyone is coming to your house!

In the end you scrapping any idea you thought was cute. So here you are laying on your bedroom floor in defeat. In your pajamas since you realized that everything is wrong. And you have nothing to wear, it's not like you could pick something up from the store. SINCE THE WORLD FREAKING ENDED AND THE CRAZY MAN IN TRASHCAN WAS RIGHT WHEN YOU WERE LITTLE!......sorry kinda freaked out there....

While lost in your own thoughts you don't notice that your bedroom door opens. Quiet as a mouse heavy boots glied across the wooden floor. Feeling a slow mental breakdown creep onto your once happy mood. You begin to sing the only song that fits how you feel at this moment.

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping

"Aren't you supposed to be ready by now?" Your e/c eyes quickly snap open to see the love your life. Staring down at you nearly giving you a heart attack. He laughs deeply at your reaction, "Rick keep laughing like that and you'll be cooking all that food by yourself." You say teasingly at the blue eyed man. Your boyfriend calms down and shakes his curly head.

"Y/n why are you laying on the floor?"
"I'm stressed and I feel like I'm falling apart. I can't find anything to wear. Everyone will be here soon and I still look like a hobo."

Rick asks frowning his eyebrows at you, "Darlin' you are beautiful in everything you wear. Don't be so hard on yourself." You huff looking at him," it's hard not to be when I think of what my mom would say. Which would be her criticizing my clothing choice."

Gently Rick takes your hands, kissing your knuckles softly. Holds them close to his heart giving you a smile. "Y/n you will be ok. I'll help you since I'm done setting up everything." Which makes you quickly calm down and look at the sweetest man you'd ever met.

After that being said You and Rick stay in your shared bedroom. Trying to decide what would be appropriate for this get together. "I like that yellow sundress. And those white flats y/n." Rick says laying under a mountain of clothes.

"That's a good idea but I like the black flats. I think I'll mess up the white ones." You say now pulling out the sundress. Just as you were finishing up, a knock comes to the door. Then slowly opens revealing Rick's young son Carl. "Everyone is showing up. Should I let them in now?" He ask looking at both you and Rick. You give a nod and your lover gets off the bed and onto his feet.

"Everything will be fine and you look amazing. In anything so I'll let everyone know your coming." With a kiss to your cheek, your boyfriend is already out the bedroom door. Leaving you to get dressed, which you quickly throw on the dress. Not before getting stuck a few times in it.

"She'll be done in a minute. Y/n is in the bathroom but everyone relax." Rick says as he ushers everyone inside. As Carl helps Carol with a pie she made for the occasion. Thirty minutes pass and now you are ready. Looking over yourself making sure your make up is clean. As well as the dress you are wearing.

Coming down the stairs where you almost trip. "I'm sorry to hold everyone up but I had a clothing issue. But let's get this show on the road." Everyone agrees while you and Carol. Who volunteers to help you bring the food out to the table. She stops and takes in your appearance.

"Y/n you look so beautiful in this dress." The older woman comments as she grabs a bowel of salad. That compliment makes you feel so happy." Awe thank you Carol. If it wasn't for Rick, I'd probably still be in my bedroom still." Which makes you both laugh. Carol nods in agreement,"I completely get it I was the same way. When I was your age."

She says as she leaves the kitchen with you right behind her. You both walk up to the table, with everyone laughing and talking. It seemed like how it used to be, before the world ended. After you two finally get the food ready and place the food down.

"I'd like to raise a toast to y/n for being so wonderfully. And so sweet especially to make a lot of this food. She's very special to me and I hope she knows that." He says with a smile and everyone cheers with their glasses raised. You cover your smile as Rick looks at you from across the table.

You mouth silently to him, 'I hate you Rick Grimes'. And that makes him smile brightly at you. Knowing you hate having the spotlight. Rick was one of the few people, whom you let get close to you. And your grateful yo have such an amazing man. By your side even in this messed up world.

While everyone is eating Carl looks up and down the table at you two. And clinks his glass that is filled with water. Getting everyone's attention, stopping all conversations. "When are you going to get married?" Everyone freezes and looks at both you and your boyfriend.

Rick continues to eat unfazed by the question. "It's up to y/n to agree to spend the rest of our life together son." Which makes everyone look at you now. Including that asshole Rick whose sitting smugly in his seat.

Taking a large sip of alcohol looking at the little boy. "I wouldn't mind marrying your Dad Carl. Besides that means I get to be related to you. And to me that's pretty awesome." You say now making contact with Rick's blue eyes as he smiles at you.
