Survive// Reader × Carl Grimes

I finished my interview with Deanna I walked around for a bit until I ran into a guy, I reach reflexively for my gun but it wasn't there, I sighed and looked at the guy in front of me, he had brown hair and taller than me.

"Sorry" I say and he smiles.

"It's okay, you must be part of the new survivors" he says and I nod. "Oh well I'm Ron"

"Y/n" I say extending my hand which he shook. "Have you seen a guy with a sheriff's hat or another guy with a beard?"

"Oh yeah, they're down here" he says and leads me down a street where there was two picturesque colonial houses next door to each other one light blue and grey. "They entered this one" he points to the grey one and I nod.

"Thanks" I say "I'll see you around" and with that I enter the house and see nobody but hear shuffling. He trapped me in here! so I go into the kitchen and grab a knife making my way up the stairs. I go into one of the rooms and see nothing but as I head into the next one I hesitantly open it and I'm face to face with Carl, I gasp and lower the knife.

"You scared me" I say

"Same here" he says then wraps his arms around my waist, I take off his hat and put it on my head making him smile. "Check this out" and I follow him into the attic where we found some comics and sleeping bags, I raise an eyebrow, he grabs my hand than walks me into a room that I guess was his room. He sat on the bed and I got between his legs playing with his hair.

"How do you feel about being here?" I ask him and he looks up at me as I look down at him.

"They're weak, it's obvious" he says "and I don't want us to get weak too" and I nod then kiss his forehead.

"We won't" I assured him, he gets up and kisses me making me smile. "We can't" as he pushes me down onto the bed.

"I know but we can make out" he says and I laugh pushing him off of me.

"Maybe later" I say tugging on his shirt and he smirks. I walk down stairs to see a woman cutting Rick's hair, they look up at me.

"Woah Rick looking good" I say and he chuckles. "It's so weird seeing you like this"

"Hi I'm Jessie" the woman who did Rick's hair says and I give her a warm smile.

"Y/n" I say extending my hand which she shook.

"They have showers" Rick says and I laugh.

"Trying to tell me something Rick?" I asked him and he laughed, an actual laugh making me smile. I walk upstairs again and go into the bathroom with my bag on my shoulder, I close and lock the door behind me, I look in the mirror and stare at my reflection. I'm brought back to a forgotten memory.

"Ssshh"

"Please don't!" I say

"Sshhh"

I blink and look up at the mirror. I noticed how much I've changed, my chest got bigger and it looked like I gained weight, I touched my stomach and frowned, I didn't realize the water was hot until the mirror became foggy so I got in and as the water hit my skin I felt myself loosen up.
