Carl grimes imagines/oneshots

Awkward (fluff)

Song: Lovers Rock - TV girl

You blink your tired eyes a few times so they could adjust to the feeling of being awake. The feeling of Carl getting out of bed woke you up. A sense of confusion sets over you, he normally wakes up before you when you sleepover but it's still dark and the clock reads 2:48 AM. You two had been dating since right after Terminus but had only hooked up for the first time a few hours ago, even though you'd slept over multiple times. He always woke up before you but it was never before sunrise. Why is he awake? And where did he go?

You sit up and swing your legs over the bed, reaching down at the closest piece of crumpled up clothing on the floor, which happened to be your underwear and Carl's Gray short sleeved shirt. You put them on and the shirt reached around mid thigh, fine by you. You were just going to look for Carl, and maybe get a glass of water. You yawn and get of the bed, hearing a familiar voice just outside the door. "What the hell are you doing in our house?!"

Alarm bells went off in your head and while still tired, you quickened your pace and quickly walked toward the door, stopping right behind Carl. You rub your eyes. "What's going... oh my god!" You say when you notice the random man sitting on the  stairs with a gun to his head. The man turns his head to look at Carl and smirks, seemingly not caring about the gun inches from his temple. "I am sitting on the stairs, looking at this painting, waiting for your mom and dad to get dressed. Hi, I'm Jesus."

And almost as if it was planned, you and Carl both turn around to see Rick without a shirt walking out of his room and Michonne quickly following suit. You cover your mouth and let out a small laugh, which causes Rick to turn his attention to you, a look of confusion, then realization crosses his face. "Did you two-." He didn't get much out before Carl cut him off. "Ok, that's enough! We're done here!" He says as he pushes you by your shoulders back into his bedroom and closes the door.

You quickly brush through your hair before putting on the sweatpants that Carl had ripped off of you only hours prior. Your thoughts are interrupted by stomping up the stairs, you walk back out into the hallway, still tying the strings on your pants. Daryl, Glenn, and Maggie are standing on the stairs with guns pointed at Jesus. Glenn squints his eyes in confusion at you. "Y/n? Why aren't you asleep?" You put your hands in your pockets. "I was, but now I'm just extremely confused." You had been living with Glenn and Maggie since you got to Alexandria and you forgot to tell them you were staying the night at Carl's.

You turn back to face Rick and Michonne. "Well this seems like a family matter, I'm gonna go so you can figure this out." You start to walk away before you hear Rick's booming voice behind you. "You're not going anywhere."  You stop dead in your tracks. "Yup, got it. Not moving an inch." To be honest, Rick scared the shit out of you and you did not want to piss him off.

•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•

You sit at the table next to Carl with everyone else who was part of the previous commotion. Your hands rested on the table and you were leaned back in your chair. You were tired, but you tried to hide it. Rick was asking this Jesus guy all sorts of questions, and you were only half listening.

You were pulled from your thoughts when you felt Carl sneak his hand in yours and squeeze it. He must've noticed you drifting off. You look at him and smile, to which he returns the favor. A few more minutes go by of droned out conversation and Carl squeezing your hand to get you to listen.

Eventually you lean closer to him and whisper in his ear. "I'm gonna go home and take a nap after this if you wanna join." He goes to whisper back but you hear a pounding noise against the table, Rick is staring at you. "Care to share with the class?" You clear your throat. "Sorry." You sit and wait for this to be over, bored out of your mind until you hear something that peaks your interest. There are other groups, and they've been trading.

•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•

Rick and a few others decided to go with the mysterious man to his community and see what they could do to spark trade. They asked you to help load up the truck, which you did, after you changed into a tank top and jeans, the outfit you were planning to wear today. You worked through your exhaustion and helped carry things out of the houses and lift supplies into the back of the truck, occasionally swapping smiles with Carl.

When you've finished you shut the door and locked it, overhearing a conversation between Rick and Carl. "Look, I was gonna tell you about Me and Michonne but, it just happened. It just, happened. Last night. This is different."

You turn your head and eavesdrop just in time to hear Carl's response. "It's cool. I'm not totally innocent either."

Earning a laugh from Rick. You walk over and rest your arm on Carl's shoulder. "All loaded up!" You toss Rick the keys and he catches them perfectly. "I imagine you did all the heavy lifting?" You smirk. "As always. Anyway, I'm gonna go home and get some much needed sleep. Have fun!" You give Carl a kiss on the cheek and then start walking back to your house.

*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•

You changed back into Carl's shirt and a pair of pajama shorts before getting into your bed and getting under the covers. You were about to drift off to sleep when you felt someone else climb into bed with you and wrap their arms around you. You opened your eyes to see Carl, the sunlight streaming in highlighting his features.

"What a nice surprise." You said in a tired voice. Car brushed a piece of hair out of your face. "Oh sorry. Did I wake you?" You shake your head. "No, I didn't fall asleep yet." You say as you wrap your arms around his waist and he pulls you closer. "Good." He kisses the top of your head. "Now go to sleep, you're exhausted y/n." You nod and close your eyes, falling asleep almost immediately.
