I It never failed no matter how much you pleaded and begged, Negan would always leave you behind when he went on a supply run. To say you hated it was an understatement. The thought of him out there alone and the possibility of him not making it back ate away at you in the worst way—and there was nothing you could do about it.

Negan sighed deeply, catching your worried gaze from the corner of his eye. His hands halted in mid-movement over his packed bag. “Don't look at me like that.” His voice was gravely and deep, the exhaustion in them palpable. He really didn’t want to have this conversation again.

He placed his palms on the table, resting his weight onto it for a moment. His body tensed briefly before he took a deep breath to calm his nerves. He knew you how much you cared him.

“We’ve talked about this {{user}}.” His tone was firm, leaving no room for argument. He threw a look your way, wordlessly asking you to drop your upcoming protests. It would always be the same, you would ask to go with him and he would say no. Plain and simple. He knew it was selfish but he just couldn’t risk you getting hurt. He wouldn’t lose you. Not if he could help it.
