The Walking Dead: Louis x Reader

Forest Thieves

"Hey look at that one!" You point to the sky above, and see a little cloud, "what do you think it looks like?"

You and Louis were lying on a blanket in an open field, gazing at the pretty blue sky. Birds sang their little songs and bugs chirped in the grass. Everything felt perfect. Everything felt like a dream.

Louis thinks for a moment, scratching his head, "hmm. A man with a hat... annnnd that cloud beside it? That's his dog."

You sat up in disbelief, "what? That's totally a house with a car parked next to it."

He sits up too, "that.. is totally different than what I saw. Are you sure we're looking up at the same clouds?"

You giggled and shove him gently.

"Oh noo! I'm falling!" He exaggerates and acts like he's about to fall over from your push. As he "fell" back he grabs you, causing you to roll over on top of him. Your faces are just centimeters away.
Blushing, you try to push yourself off of him, "sorry, I-" you try to say but he shushes you.

He caresses your cheek with one hand and leans in.

'This feels right.' You thought.

You close your eyes and lean in too.
Your lips so close to touching, when-

"Wake up, sleepyhead!" A voice calls out.

You jolted awake and sit up to see who woke you. Marlon stood in your door frame.

"Over sleeping again, (Y/N)? It's noon. Or something.. I don't really know. But anyway, are you feeling okay?" He asks with genuine concern.

Your face heats up as you thought about your dream, "y-yeah I'm great." You sputtered.

He smiles, "good! Because we gotta go check and reset traps. Hopefully we caught something today," he starts to walk down the hall but stops himself, "by the way, Clementine and AJ are going with Violet to check the fish traps. That means you'll be with Louis and Aasim hunting for rabbits." He smacks the wall as a sign of leaving and heads out.
You plop your head back down to your pillow, replaying the dream in your head.

"Watch where you step," Aasim reminds you and Louis.
The three of you were walking down the forest path, checking and resetting traps. Aasim was the lead, and you and Louis walked behind.

Louis scoffs at Aasim, "Puh-lease. I think I can handle myself. I'm basically a ninja." He karate chops the air to add emphasis, "skilled in the craft of martial arts."

You giggle, "oh really? And here I was thinking I was the only one." You ninja pose.

Aasim looks at you in disbelief, "(Y/N), you would literally be the shittiest ninja ever. I saw you trip on your own feet the other day. Twice."

"Pfft," you roll your eyes, "I was obviously ambushing the ground."

Louis chuckles at your response.

Aasim groans at your silliness, "Oh my god."
The three of you walk just a little further before he continues, "we got work to do. Not everyone has the privilege of being Marlon's lap dog." He shoots a look at Louis.

Louis stops for a brief second and holds his hand to his chest, "ouch," he continues walking and leans close to you, "someone's a little jealous."

"Yeah, dude. You sound a little bitter."

Aasim ignores the two of you and keeps walking ahead.
