twisting the handle and swinging with the door as opened by tilting on the balls your feet you grinned. Honestly you had been to Carl’s “home” so many times, it was bigger shock if you knocked than if you didn’t.

Rick looked up from the counter, a map on the marble surface “You. Again.” he said in a teasing voice, he wasn’t actually angry or upset. Him and Michonne enjoyed your company and how you could make Carl happy and open up even if it was just a little

You kept that wide smile on your face, shrugging, swinging with the door a second longer, making it creak before officially shutting it. “This is my second home, don’t you know?” you joked back, walking behind him and purposely bumping into him with a knock of your hip

Michonne chuckled while Rick stumbled and gave you a glare that had no malice. “Should be upstairs. Hasn’t come down yet.” She said with a nod of her head before looking back at the her katana that she was polishing

prancing upstairs, with your converses clomping on the stairs you immediately turned that one corner that had a door just around it that you’ve gone around so many times you get Deja vu. It had a butterfly sticker on it that Judith put up. Carl claims to hate it since you tease him but he totally finds it endearing since he’s never took it down.

opening the door abruptly, you spoke loudly and fast “Boo!” attempting to scare your boyfriend but he wasn’t there. You tilted your head, your hair flopping to the left with your head. But you just closed the door back and walked over to the second door parallel to his. It was the bathroom.

When you opened it, he was in there but not how you expected to find him. He was hunched over the counter, his back to you with a dry blood soaked bandage on the counter and the soft sound of held in sobs. He’s insecure about his bad eye and you knew it but you’ve never seen him like this. “Carl“

he whipped around, his partially side swept bangs covering his bad eye as he stared at you with his other that was wide “get out”
