TWDG Season 4 (Clementine X Male Reader)

Chapter 1: Done Running

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

Y/N: "When the dead started walking... I was small, and alone. Until I met Clem and a man named Lee. He became my protector. Lee protected other people too. But he couldn't save everyone. You can never save everyone. The living were just as dangerous as the dead. A woman in our group named Lilly lost her dad. And then she just couldn't cope. She took the life that Lee saved. Lee left her on the side of the road. Lee taught us how to survive. He protected us as long as he could. But he got bit, because of Clem.... And even in the end, he was still teaching to us."

Lee: "Stay away from the cities. They're just not worth the risk."

Y/N: "He asked me to shoot him. And I did. I met another group after that. Broken people, running from their past. There was a woman who gave birth to a boy named...Alvin Junior. AJ. He made it. But the mom didn't. And I started to take care of him. But then Jane left AJ in the snow. We thought he was gone forever. That was the last straw for Kenny. And without Lee around...I had to make the call. I couldn't. And Kenny killed Jane.

Y/N: "It turned out AJ was alive. Jane hid him to make a point. Knowing what they'd done..."

Y/N "I still decided we were better together. For AJ and Clem's sake. But like everything else, it wouldn't last. Clem, me and AJ traveled to a new frontier. I thought we found something that worked. But I was wrong again. They took AJ from us. Said I was too young to take care of him. I fought back. But I wasn't strong enough. We searched for a long time. Just when we gave up hope...we found him. We're searching together now. For a place we can call home. I'm all they have. They're all I have, and I'll protect them with my life. Just like Lee did for me."

Clem drives the car, you drive past some trees in the woods while on the road, Kenny's hat covers your face as you slump in the passenger seat. Asleep.

No one's POV

Clem adjusts the rearview mirror to look at AJ, who is spinning the bullet chamber of a revolver.

Clementine: "Whatcha doin' there, goofball?"

AJ: "Pretending we got bullets."

Clementine: "Well, don't. It's getting on my nerves."

AJ: "I don't like goofball. I'm too big for it."

Clementine: "Would you prefer shitbird?"

AJ: (laughs) "No! That's mean! You're a shitbird."

AJ holds his stomach.

Clementine: "What's wrong? AJ?"

AJ: "Hungry." Clem pulls up a small broccoli looking toy with shiny but dirty pants and a vest.

Clementine: "Hey, there, Alvin Junior. It's me, Disco Broccoli! Word on the street is that you wanna eat me. Is that true? Do you wanna eat me?"

AJ: "C'mon, Clem. I can't eat a toy."

Clementine: "Aw, man. My feelings are hurt."

AJ: "My stomach hurts."

Clementine: "Hmph, sassy." Clem turns back towards the wheel of the car.

Clementine picks up a bag of chips sitting on the dash and passes it to AJ.

Clementine: "Here you go. About all we got."

AJ: "What about you?"

Clementine: "Go for it. We'll find something else soon."

AJ: "I believe you." AJ opens the bag and starts eating the chips.
