Love In The Apocalypse (Violetine)

It's The Blemishes That Make You Beautiful

Clementine sat up, kissing Violet.

"Clem!" Violet exclaimed, hugging her.

"Look, I need to tell the others..." Violet started.

"It's just us in here, right?" Clementine asked.

"Yeah. Why?" Violet asked.

"Maybe we could just lay down together. I haven't gotten to even touch you, other than the occasional kiss, for the last three weeks..." Clementine spoke softly.

Violet got up, locking the door.

"Huh?" Clementine asked.

"... When I first found you there... I was scared... That I was going to lose you... That I wouldn't be able to show you how much I cared..." Violet started.

"And?" Clementine asked, curiously.

"I... Want you to know how much I love you." Violet continued.

"I already know how much you love me. And I love you too..." Clementine declared.

"I know... But I want to show you how much I love you, Clem..." Violet spoke, taking her jacket off.

"I still don't get it..." Clementine continued.

Violet sat on top of Clementine, taking her shirt off.

"Violet?! I meant just lay down, and sleep!" Clementine was confused.

"Clem... I was scared I'd lost you... And, until I almost did, I didn't realize that I haven't really felt alive..." Violet declared, taking her shirt off, getting on the bed.

"I don't get what you're saying." Clementine spoke, still confused.

"Clem... We both need this... Now, kiss me..." Violet spoke, sounding as if she was fighting the urge to cry.

...

Clementine went hunting with Violet.

"So... About the other day..." Clementine started.

"Clem, I'm sorry that I-." Violet started, when she was kissed by Clementine.

"No, Violet, I was going to... thank you... I... Needed it too. I love you." Clementine declared, smiling.

"I love you too... You are my everything... And... I'm always going to need you. Now, let's go get some food." Violet spoke, also smiling.

...

Clementine aimed the crossbow, firing at the deer's head.

"Nice shot." Violet declared, patting Clementine's back.

"This'll make a good meal." Clementine spoke, slinging her crossbow.

Clementine and Violet dragged the buck back to the school.

"So, Clem, if you don't mind me asking, what do you remember about what they did to you?" Violet asked.

"Shocked me, like with a taser, and used mind games on me." Clementine replied.

"And your face?" Violet asked.

"They forced me to cut my own face. Into a permanent smile." Clementine answered.

"I'm sorry." Violet declared.

"But now? Now, I'm a freak. I look like a psychopath, and I tried to kill my own girlfriend..." Clementine spoke, in a disappointed tone.

I love you, Clem... And you're not a freak. If you're a freak, then, so am I...

"And, the visitors brought dinner!" Yuri joked, opening the gate.

...

Violet looked in the mirror.

Perfectly clean...

Violet looked at the knife on the table.

Cleaned thoroughly...

She thought about what Clementine said.

If you're a freak, Clem... Then, so am I...

Violet put the knife in her mouth.

She slit the sides of her mouth, making her cuts match Clementine's.

And, time to clean up...

Violet cleaned off the knife, with a bucket of water, and a rag.

"Fuck..." Violet whispered to herself.

She cleaned her mouth wound.
