TWD: The Bounty Hunter (Clementine X Male Reader Book 2)

Respite-1

You park your car right outside the gate along side the van.

You: I can carry Marina.

Clem: It's fine.

You: Let me, you're in worse shape than you think.

Clem: I'll be fine.

You: Clem, I didn't think you could get skinnier... Let me.

Clem: Fine.

You reach over and grab Marina. You lift her over the center console and into your lap.

Clem: Before we go, can we talk for a minute?

You: We talked the whole way here.

Clem: We need to talk about this.

You: About what?

Clem: We didn't exactly get married.

You: No we did not.

Clem: Do you want to just say we're married and have a private thing, just the two of us?

You: Is that what you want?

Clem: Well, kind of.

You: You're sure?

Clem: Yes.

You: Ok, we'll do it sometime. We're gonna be a bit busy for a few days or weeks, but after... We'll do it. Plus, you need to get back to normal, get you're strength back.

Clem: Deal. Is the room still set up?

You: Yes, it'll stay that way until we're ready.

Clem: I saw it already... It was sweet.

You: We'll use it, eventually.

Clem: Good.

You open your door and get out of the car with Marina. She's still fast asleep in your arms.

Louis: Nice grab!

You: Shh!

Louis: Oh... Sorry.

You: It felt pretty good on the road.

Louis looks at the car, and nods his head.

Louis: Three cars are better than two.

You: I feel like you were trying to make a joke, and didn't.

Louis: I don't think I was.

You: It's probably just because of your personality.

You look over to the van to see everyone, who can be, outside of the van.

You: Can you guys take care of everything? I need to get Marina to bed.

Louis: Yeah, we got it. Muscles can do most of the heavy work.

He points his thumb over to the new guy.

You: His name is Stanley.

Louis: Yeah, but he's big.

You roll your eyes.

You: Call him whatever you want... I gotta go. Come get me if you need anything.

Louis: Will do.

He walks away and you meet Clementine at the gate.

Clem: You seem... Oddly chummy.

You: Well, I was stuck here with him and two other people for three weeks. It was hard to avoid him.

Clem: Great, so you're done being overly rude to him?

You: I don't think I was overly rude.

Clem: You were.

You: He deserved it.

She laughs at you and walks into the courtyard. You follow close behind her.

Clem: I missed it here.

You: I missed you here.

Clem: I know.

You head towards the dorms with Clem and Marina. You enter the hallway and feel an overwhelming peace rush over you. Knowing that everyone is safe, and now things can go back to normal for at least a few days. Before something bad inevitably happens.

Clem: I know we're taking Marina to bed, but can we go too?

You: I planned on it. I haven't slept well in weeks, and the last time I did sleep was like two days ago.

Clem: Y/N! That's not good for you!

You: I was stressed. And now, I'm tired.

You reach your room and Clementine walks in first. You walk in and she shuts the door behind you as you walk Marina to her bed. You lay her down, cover her with an old blanket, and kiss her forehead. Poor girl must be beat. She hasn't woken up at all.

You turn to your bed to see Clementine already lying down. You get down and sit at the edge of the bed while you take your boots off. You throw them to the door and climb over to your pillow. Clementine has her body turned away from you, so you wrap your arm around her and pull her close.

Clem: This is way more comfortable than that crappy floor.

You: I'd imagine.

Clem: But, I don't know what you think you're doing.

You: Uh, lying down?

Clem: We're not sleeping like this.

You: Alright boss.

You let go and lay back on your back. Clementine turns over, puts a hand on your stomach, and rests her head on your chest.

Clem: Is this warm enough for you?

You laugh.

You: Yes, it's perfect. I've missed it.

Clem: I've missed you.

You: Oh sorry, I already did that one. Like a few minutes ago actually.

Clem: What's yours is mine.

You: You've definitely said that before too.

Clem: I'm running out of original stuff.

You: Oh man! How will I ever love you now?

She lightly slaps your stomach.

You: It was a joke. I love you too much to care.

She pauses for a few seconds.

Clem: I know.

You: You did that on purpose.

Clem: Yeah.

You chuckle.

You: I love you and your totally original lines.

Clem: I love you and all your...

You: You shouldn't have tried it. It's just adding on.

Clem: Then I just love you.

You: I know.

You smile and close your eyes as Clementine lets out a few giggles. This is going to be your wife, and you couldn't be happier about it.
