Bitten But Alive (The Walking Dead X Reader)

And That's How Thing Happened

~~~

( Your POV )

~~

I've never been much of a person to check time,mostly cause after a couple years of having to use military time I gave up on knowing and began to guess by either using the sun when it was visible or my ,sometimes useful, intuition.But seeing as the sky was just a tad bit lighter than when I had been outside smacking my head into the grass,I figured it was maybe four am.Actually it might be five or six am....

I shrugged to myself as my eyes glided over to Carl who was still sleeping,adorably since I noticed he was wearing his fathers hat.After some thought though,it amazed me how he was able to fall asleep in that position with his leaning forward so the hat would stay on his head but this caused his chin to basically be against his chest,god if I slept like that back then I would wake up with the worst cramp in my neck and shoulder.

I closed my eyes for just a second and suddenly I heard my name being called,"Y/N ?"

I opened my eyes to be met by Carl attempting to sit up but with a pained face he stopped and stayed laying down.I hated seeing him in pain but knowing he was alive and well,mostly,made me smile,"Hey,don't move so much or you're gonna hurt yourself more."

He smiled wide as he attempted to pull the beds cover down,realizing it'd take a while I stood up and pulled them down to his waist and looked straight at his wound,unconsciously I reached towards it until my fingers brushed against the bandages."Y/N,"his voice took me out of my trance,"can you take off you hood?"

I laughed but complied to the bed ridden boy,the feeling of my h/l h/c hair was a bit strange,I'll probably never get used to the feeling considering I must always cover myself up,"Better now Sheriff Carl?"

He laughed again while adjusting the hat on his head,"I'm not a sheriff, Y/N."

"I don't know,"I tapped the front of his hat causing it to come down and cover his eyes,oops,guess the hat fits a bit too big on him,makes sense actually."That hat tells me something different."

Once he had gotten the hat balanced on his head again he pouted at me before smiling wide again,"Now take off you mask,"after saying this he tried reaching up to my face trying to pull it down himself.

I crouched a little bit, but it was enough for him to grab hold of the cloth and pull it down revealing my nose,mouth,and chin.I felt it go down and bunch up around my neck,"What's with you and wanting to see my full face today hmm?" He just shrugged and took advantage of the fact that his fathers hat was too big for his head,"Hey no hiding,"I said smiling,not that he could see it as he seemed to be hiding behind the hat.

He let out a small laugh, I could see that it caused too much pain if he full on laughed as he would try to stop with a wince.Slowly sliding the hat back onto his head,with a smile he spoke,"You know I'm like my dad now."

I decided to sit next to him on the bed and I felt his tiny hand grab onto mine,"You don't mean that cause of the hat do you?"

With his grip on my hand he shook his head with a simple but child like,"No."

I raised my eyebrow in confusion at his answer as I tapped at his hat causing it to fall down over his face again,"Then what do you mean?"

After pulling it up, again, he loosened his grip on my hand and then pulled it away from my hand so that he could touch,lightly,his bandaged gun shot wound,"I'm like him cause he's been shot before,and now I share that with him."
