The Walking Dead Clementine X Male Reader

Chapter 17: Another Roadblock

Lee sits in between you and Clem, he pulls a map from his back pocket.

Lee: Hey Y/N, would you mind giving Clem and I some time alone, we need to talk about some stuff.

You: Sure Lee.

You stand up and walk out of the cart. You walk past Ben who flinches when you walk past him.

Your thoughts: It would be so easy to do it right now, just push him off, and get it over with.

You walk inside the control room.

Kenny: Hey kid.

You: Hi Kenny.

You're about to talk to Chuck, but Kenny stops you for a second.

Kenny: Hey, uh, kid?

You: Yes?

Kenny: I never thanked you.

You: For what?

Kenny: You saved my boy three times. You tried savin him a fourth time, but luck weren't on your side.

You: I'm sorry.

Kenny: Don't be, my boy would've died a long time ago if you hadn't been there. So thank you.

You: You don't have to thank me, and I'm so sorry about Duck and Katjaa.

Kenny: That's alright kid.

You nod and turn around and walk out to talk to Chuck. You lean against the front railing like him.

You: Hey.

Chuck: How you doin?

You: Guess.

Chuck: chuckle Sassy.

There's some awkward silence for a few seconds until Chuck breaks it.

Chuck: So... cancer huh?

Your thoughts: How the hell?!

You: Uh, what?

Chuck: My boy like you, apart from the eye, he had both of 'em. My boy had cancer, I saw his recovery, he looked just like you. Though bad luck caught up to him, he got it again.

You: What happened?

Chuck: chuckle Guess.

You: I'm sorry to hear that.

You begin to notice that he didn't show much emotion when he was telling you this.

You: Um...

Chuck: What?

You: Are you okay?

Chuck: Yeah, why?

You: You jus- sigh never mind.

After a few minutes you see something in the distance. Kenny notices this too.

Kenny: OH, SHIT! HOLD ON EVERYBODY!

Kenny hits the breaks, you hold onto the bar but Chuck just crosses his arms. The train comes to a stop when you see a giant tank of gas or something flammable hanging over a bridge; blocking the tracks. Everyone except you and Chuck gets off, you lean your arms on the railing and Kenny's had enough of this.

Kenny: Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! FUCK! FUUUUUUUCK!!!

Kenny bows his head.

Ben: Maybe we could walk.

You facepalm at how stupid Ben is.

Kenny: That's fucking stupid, Ben.

Ben: I'm just sayin...

You and Chuck climb down.

Chuck: Hmmm. I dunno; I ain't got much experience with y'all's fortitude but we could probably deal with that. We got a goddamn train.

You facepalm with both hands at how much stupidity is in the group.

Kenny: That thing's not full of milk, Charles. That's gas or diesel; something that's going to explode.

Chuck turns around.

Chuck: YOU gotta get ahold of yourself. This is a crew here.

Kenny gets in Chucks face.

Kenny: This ain't shit.

Chuck: This—

You hear a guy on the bridge.

Short dude: Yo, you keep screamin like that you're gonna get your face chewed off.

You look up to see two people on the bridge looking at you all.

Woman: Are you guys gonna be trouble? Because we could've just kept walkin.

Lee walks forward.

Lee: Define "trouble."

Woman: Anything that gets you killed or worse and it tends to come in hand with groups of guys in distress.

Short dude: Let's give these guys a break.

Woman: We'll see.

Short dude: You guys got a problem with your train?

Kenny: Yeah, you're standin right in front of it.

Short dude: Dude, it's a wreck. It's not so bad from up here. Send your buddy up to have a look.

Lee starts walking forward but Kenny puts his arm slightly in front of him.

Kenny: Anything goes sideways up there, we won't let them escape.

Lee and Kenny start to walk towards the ladder, you walk right beside Lee, he notices this and looks at you.

Lee: What're you doin?

You: I wanna help.

Lee: I don't think so kiddo, Katjaa didn't want you doin anything extreme, and I'm sure collapsing on a ladder is the last thing we need.

You: sigh Okay.

Lee gets down to your level on one knee.

Lee: Don't worry about me, everything will be fine.

You: Okay.

Lee puts his hand on the ladder.

Lee: If I come up there you better not be murderers or thieves!

Woman: I guess you'll have to find out.

Lee climbs up.

You: Well, I guess it's just me and you, Cleme-

You look around and can't find her. You look at the ladder and see her climb up.

You: sigh oh well.

A few minutes later they all come back down.

Lee: Guys, this is Omid and Christa.

Everyone stays silent. Omid rubs the back of his neck.

Omid: Not big on welcomes...

Your thoughts: Great, more mouths to feed, well... guess it's time to meet some new people.

A/N: Hello, thanks for reading this chapter. Sorry it took a while for me to publish this, I was trying to think of ways I could write this, because I know that the Lee and Clementine planning bit was private, so I had to figure out what to do with that. Now I really want to give a giant shoutout to ifuckingdespisethis, I know that I already gave her a shoutout before, but she has actually been awesome and super sweet and I'm very grateful for her support, I'm reading her story right now, it's definitely worth a look; it's called "That Old World Flag," it's a Clementine x Male Reader story and it's awesome, so please check it out. Anyways, thank you for reading, and I hope to see your comments in the next chapter. Have a good day!
