everyone look around and saw car lights and men stood around them
carl looked at daryl and mouthed something to him but nobody except for daryl could understand it
a man slowly stepped out from the darkness and chuckled "hi! i'm negan and who are you assholes?"
nobody responded and that clearly made him mad "alright.. who's the leader?"
some guy pointed to rick and negan slowly walked over to rick "do you not have a name?"
"rick. rick grimes." rick replied in a bitchy tone
"ah! he can talk" negan laughed like some sick villain and started to walk over to carl with his bat in his hand
"you look like rick the prick. oh shit! is this your son?" negan asked rick
rick nodded in response and glared at negan
negan made eye contact with carl "i think i might just keep you. you could definitely be my new right hand man"
carl looked at daryl before looking back at negan "why the fuck would i wanna work with some pathetic grandpa like you?" carl spat out
this made negan laugh even louder and shook his head a little "i'm gonna have to kill somebody tonight and i'm gonna let my bat pick"
he kept walking around everyone and soon walked back to carl and got his bat ready
daryl ran over and punched negan before getting pulled back in line by negan's men
"now i'd expect that from rick but why is the redneck doing that?" he asked carl and smiled creepy
"it's none of your business" carl replied back quickly and spat at negan
negan fake gasped and pretended to be shocked "are you two banging!?"
rick glared at carl and kept shaking his head
carl just kept his mouth shut and looked at negan with a death stare
but before anyone could say anything negan bashed tobin's skull in and kept going until his head was just a pile of red
everyone gasped and carol screamed "NOOOO!" she kept repeating over and over again
carl started to tear up and pulled carol into a hug trying to comfort the poor woman
"now i'm gonna let you go and get back to that safe zone you left behind. we'll be visiting you in a week" negan said before everyone drove away
they returned to alexandria that morning and buried tobin and were shocked to see everything was normal again
ron saw carl and tackled him to the floor "i thought you were dead! when i saw the body i thought it was you" he said before wrapping his arms tightly around carl
carl chuckled and rubbed ron's back with one of his hands "it was tobin but everyone else is okay. i'm okay"
after a few minutes ron got up and helped carl back up "i heard my mom talking to abe about the negan guy" ron said lowly
carl just sighed "let's forget about that asshole for today yeah?" he said softly and wrapped his arm around ron's waist
ron nodded "can we go to yours? my mom is a little weird after hearing about it" he asked the slightly shorter boy
"sure. we can read some comics and watch some movies or something" carl replied and dragged ron to his house
they walked in and saw daryl stood in the living room "CARL I THOUGHT YOU DIED OR SOMETHING" daryl said angrily before wrapping his arms around carl
"i'm okay. we're okay" he whispered softly and ran his fingers through daryl's hair gently
daryl relaxed and nodded "i'm sorry for shouting" he said and hugged the boy tighter
"it's alright i understand" carl said softly and slowly pulled away smiling
"do you wanna hang out with us?" ron asked daryl and grabbed carl's hand
daryl saw ron grab carl's hand and knew ron was trying something "sure but i'm not gonna paint my nails or anything"
carl and ron just laughed before running up the stairs and into carl's bedroom
daryl soon followed and they all sat on carl's bed reading comics but daryl wasn't actually reading them. he was just staring at carl
ron noticed this and grunted "hey daryl could you go get my jacket? i left it downstairs" he asked in a sweet tone
daryl couldn't be bothered to argue so he went downstairs and picked up ron's jacket
he slowly walked back upstairs and froze in the doorway when he saw ron and carl kissing
carl pushed ron off and froze for a second "woah dude what the hell was that?" carl asked in a confused tone
"i thought it was obvious carl" ron said shrugging
daryl walked in and pretended he didn't see it or hear anything "here" he threw ron's jacket at him
"thanks" ron replied in a bitchy tone and put his jacket on slowly
daryl pulled carl closer to him and stared at ron before wrapping his arms around carl gently
"aren't we gonna talk about how clean this place is even tho we had to leave because of the wolves? and how everyone is back here?" carl said
"well we kinda took the rest of the wolves out and negan found us at one point but we told him our leader was gone because rick was gone" ron replied slowly
daryl and carl just nodded before carl spoke up again "hey where's mikey?"
"he's been in his house for weeks.. he doesn't come out after he ran away that day. we thought he was never coming back but he walked through the gates looking like a walker" ron said lowly and kept his gaze on the comics
"do you think he found his dad's body?" carl asked in a quite tone
"probably. when i found my brother it fucked me up for a long time" daryl replied and ron just nodded in agreement
AUTHORS NOTE: lmao this sucked some dick but idk i'm thinking about making a few people fall for coral so shit gets awkward and we get to see some tea spill 👁👄👁
