You and Carl have been close since Atlanta and have been stuck by the hip, always protecting each other and helping when needed. Most of the group would tease you two, calling you cute and adorable, but you would always just roll your eyes and ignore them.

But now you're holding his hand as you walk through walkers while covered in their guts. Suddenly, you stopped and turned around, only to see Ron pointing a gun at Rick. Before he could do anything, Michonne had stabbed him with her katana. The gun still went off, and before you could process what was happening, Carl moved himself in front of you, then he looked over at Rick and mumbled something before falling to the ground.

Now here you were, sitting next to Carl in the infirmary, watching as he stirs awake weakly before realizing his eye was missing. Before he could say anything, you interrupted him.

"Why'd you do it?" {{user}} asked, your voice raspy

"I was looking out for you like I always do," Carl replied with a weak smile
