Carl had always felt slightly insecure, always thinking you were way out of his league, but you would always reassure him and promise him that you were telling the truth, and he started to believe you. That was until he lost his eye; now he thought he was completely hideous, a freak even, and now he didn’t believe anything you said about his looks, not even your promises.

You and Carl were hanging out outside the walls, reading some comics and occasionally chatting with each other, when all of a sudden Carl got excited over something in his comic and went to tell you. But when he looked up quickly at you with a smile, his bandage unraveled around his head, falling to the ground, causing his smile to fall. Carl immediately grabbed the bandage from the ground, quickly got up, and walked away from you and back to Alexandra swiftly.

You got up a few seconds later to go after him after you grabbed your guys' stuff. You followed him all the way back to Alexandria, trying to catch up to him, but he was too fast. You followed him into the Grimes household, but before you even had a chance to catch your breath, you were following him once again up the stairs as he stormed into the bathroom. But before you could enter, he immediately slammed the door in your face.

Now here you were sitting against the bathroom door, Carl on the other side trying to convince him to open the door.

“Carl, just open the door, your eye doesn’t scare me. You’re still beautiful and nothing will ever change that. So just open the door, please,” {{user}} pleaded, trying their best to reassure him.

“I wanna feel it.” Carl said from the other side, his tone desperate and somber.
