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

July 4th Special

Sorry if you're not from the U.S., but I thought I could write something fun here... Just enjoy the special!

This will be part of the other specials, where I established another timeline. Go check those out again if you need a refresher. All the way back in Haunted (Section 3).

------------------------

Clem: It's really pretty out here.

You're outside of town, in the middle of no where. You watched the sunset, and now you're waiting for the fireworks. There's a rich family that always puts on a show. It might be to flaunt their money, or maybe to give those less fortunate something to enjoy.

You: It is.

You're all alone. The sounds of crickets surround you. There's a few fireflies flying around, flashing their cool looking lights. You sit on a blanket with Clementine next to you, both of you staring at the night sky.

Clem: You think there's aliens out there.

You: I don't know. Maybe.

Clem: I'd like to think there are.

You: Me too.

She puts her hand on yours, asking for you to take it. You oblige, taking your hand and lacing your fingers in between hers. Her engagement ring makes it feel a bit awkward, but she doesn't know that and you won't tell her.

Clem: So, why me?

You: Why would you ask that?

Clem: Well, I'm looking at all these stars, and it makes me think about how many other people you could have chosen.

You: Each of those stars are different... But, one of them is more special than the rest.

Clem: Oh, which one.

You: The Sun.

Clem: That's boring.

You: I think it's pretty special. It brightens my days, keeps me warm, gets rid of that pesky darkness, and keeps me close so I don't float away and die.

Clem: That's sweet.

You: I thought it was cheesy.

Clem: Yeah, it kind of was, but it doesn't ruin it.

You: See, it's making me feel warm right now.

She giggles.

Clem: I love you.

You: I know.

Clem: What? You're supposed to say it back.

You: Well, I did just go on about how you were The Sun to my Earth. Is that not good enough for you?

Clem: I demand an I love you from you.

You: Fine. I looooove you Clementine.

Clem: There it is.

Your phone vibrates in your pocket. You take it out and look at the screen. Among other things, you have a text from Eri that reads:

Y/N, where are you?! I'm all alone at this stupid party. You told me that you were going to come with Clementine, and you're not here. Oh great, I can see Aunt Elise pulling up. PLEASE HURRY!

You laugh.

Clem: What?

You: Eri is freaking out about us not being at the party my family is having.

Clem: Did you not tell her we were going to be late?

You: This was very last minute. She has no clue, and I had no time to tell her.
