Clementine x Male Reader: Enemy Within

Chapter 39

You kick a nearby crate over in frustration as you walk away from Joseph's house. You take a stroll around Sunset, eventually finding and sitting on a bench by the houses near the gate.

You take a deep breath before bursting out into violent coughs. You feel a sharp pain in your chest as you take the breaths, the coughs are much worse. You remember coughing like this while you were out by yourself, but you thought it was because you were sick or something.

You close your eyes and try to take small breaths to prevent yourself from coughing anymore. You accidentally take a deep breath, causing yourself to launch into another fit of coughs.

Lesly: "You okay there, old man?"

You look to your side and see Lesly coming out of the house near you. She yawns and stretches her arms as you finish coughing.

Y/N: "Old man? Pfff, not as old as your..."

Lesly: "As my what?"

Y/N: "Nevermind."

You clear your throat as she walks over and sits next to you.

Lesly: "You okay? You sound pretty rough."

Y/N: "I'm fine. What are you still doing here? I thought you left with Meghan and the rest?" You say, changing the topic.

Lesly: "I wanted to sleep, and you had a free house. Don't worry, I'll be leaving soon."

You both remain silent as you look around. You rub your chest as you have trouble taking deep breaths.

Lesly: "So... how's it like being back?"

Y/N: "I... I don't know, Lesly. I'm just really stressing out right now."

You hold your head in your hands as silence takes over you both.

Y/N: "I really need to find a way to calm down, I don't want it to come out now."

You expect a response from her but hear none. You look at her and see the confused expression on her face.

Y/N: "What?"

Lesly: "What do you mean you don't want it to come out? It?"

Y/N: "You know...?"

She tilts her head in confusion.

Y/N: "... the wolf, Lesly."

She looks dumbfounded and then looks at you as if you were crazy.

Lesly: "Wolf? I know you're not talking about a werewolf."

Y/N: "Yeah, I am. You already know this."

She places a hand on your forehead to check your temperature.

Y/N: "What are you doing?"

Lesly: "Y/N, are you sure you're okay? You're talking crazy."

You take her hand off of you and look at her confused.

Y/N: "Are you fucking with me?"

Lesly: "Y/N, I have no idea what you're talking about."

You rub your face in frustration.

Y/N: "Lesly, now's not the time for this..."

Lesly: "I don't know what you're talking about! Are you saying you can turn into a werewolf?"

Y/N: "Yes, I am. You're the only one who knows this."

She looks at you in silence before bursting out into laughter. She's not taking this seriously and it's pissing you off.
