After the s10 whisperer fight at hilltop

"Talk to me y/n" he pleads

I sat on the front porch of our home with my hands scratching at the concrete steps to much in my own head to really hear his desperate words

"What happened?" He crouches down to my eye level and places his hand over mine, snapping me from my thoughts and bringing me back to this moment

"What?" I ask, trying to think back in what we were talking about just moments before

"What happened to you?" He asked again, I furrowed my eyebrows and shrugs, shaking my head slightly as I did so

"I just...wanted to be alone for a bit"

"You were gone for days, where did you even go? We looked everywhere for you" he pressed, you forced a smile and looked up at his concerned face

"I found a house out last the lake and stayed there for a bit, I'm telling you Alden,I'm fine, just needed some alone time is all" I smiled and placed my hand on his cheek as a way to reassure him

"I gotta go, Eugene wants my help trying to fix that old radio he found in the attic " I say as I stand up and dust off my pants and make my way down the steps

"I thought they had gotten to you." He said suddenly, causing me to stop

"One second you were here and then- then the next you just...dissapeared. I didnt know what to think. I thought maybe you were with Magna or- or Ezekiel but you just..weren't."

I couldn't think of what to say, I turned around and watched as he continued to speak, his head ducked as his hands held onto the banister

"I felt the same way as the day of the fair. When Enid.." he went quiet, I slowly walked toward him, my hand finding it's way to his, squeezing gently as I wrapped my arms around his torso from behinde, resting my cheeck against his back

"I cant do this anymore" I said finally, closing my eyes and listening to the sound of his heart beating in his chest

"Its like everyday were just getting ready for the next fight, I'm tired of it. I'm tired of the bloodshed. I wish it could just go back to the way it use to be, remeber? When all we had to worry about was if the garden was properly watered and weeded" he chuckled at that, the soft vibration humming against my cheek as he looked back

"Or if Diana was close enough to calm Spencer down when be had his temper tantrums" we both laughed at that, i lifted my face as he turned around, moving my dirty hair from my even dirtier face and smiling w pure admiration

"It wont be like this forever, y/n" he said softly, looking down at me with a soft smile, "I swear it wont, one day it'll be back to the way it was, just better"

"I hope so" i whispered as i closedmy eyes, leaning my face against his chest as he hugged me in a tight embrace, placing a soft kiss against my scalp

"God I cant wait to see Carol making cookies again"
