(Authors note: since they're most likely in the future, New things rn are vintage for them)
Louis smiled as he moved his fingers along the keys. He sang softly as he played. Marlon heard the noise and followed it to the piano room. He leaned on the doorframe. "What ya playing?" he said with a smile. Louis turned around and smiled. "Oh. Nothing much. Just an old song. You wouldn't know it anyway," he said continuing to play. Marlon scoffed. "Its pumpkin,right? by the regrettes?" Louis looked at him. "Yeah, actually.  How did you know that?" he said with his arms crossed. "Oh come on.  I don't only listen to punk rock bands," he said, punching Louis's shoulder. Louis rolled his eyes and smiled. He continued playing.  Marlon sat down next to him and started to sing along. "I used to think that romeo was full of shit but when I look at you I think this must be it," Marlon sang while looking at Louis.  Louis gave him a shy smile and continued to play. Marlon put his arm around Louis and kissed his cheek and went back to watching him play. "Hey have you guys- oh. looks like we're interrupting something," Violet said while exchanging glances with Clementine. Marlon turned around and kept his arm around Louis.  "Well not really. plus im kinda like. the leader. so yeah whats up?" he said. "Well we haven't seen a walker in atleast a week. well. unless James's gross mask counts," Clementine said. Marlon looked puzzled. "That is a bit odd. There's not really much we can do about it. Maybe see if there's any in the distance?" Clementine sighed. "We have. Nothing. Nowhere. Not even in the traps," Marlon looked at her again.  "Just appreciate it while you can, then. Not much else to do," Marlon said, smiling at Clem softly. Clem nodded and left with Violet trailing behind her. Marlon pat Louis on the shoulder.  "Wanna see what this no walker peace is like?" He said. Louis nodded and stood up. Marlon and Louis went into the yard, hand in hand. Ruby waved at them. "Oh I just realized I haven't visited Brody today. You can go with the others. Ill be over in a bit," Marlon said, releasing Louis's hand. Louis nodded and walked away. Marlon walked over to the headstone and pat it. " Hey Brody. We found out there's a beach just a few miles outside the safe zone. wish we could have taken you there. I brought sand from it. Here. Sorry you can't feel it like you wanted to," he said while pouring a jar of sand on his friends grave. He pat the headstone again and stood up to join the others. "Hey Marlon. Did you talk to Brody?" Louis said. Marlon nodded. " Y'know aj, you should give Brody some of those seashells you grabbed when we found the beach. I'm sure she'd love them," Marlon said, patting the shoulder of the small boy in front of him. Aj nodded and went to the headstone. Marlon looked at Louis and planted a kiss to his forehead.
