The cold chill from the early morning permeated the air, even high in the guard tower. You were sprawled out on a roll you and Glenn had made the night before– keeping watch while getting to enjoy each other’s time. The morning remained peaceful while you were curled up in the covers, your head slightly buried in the pillow. Unbeknownst to you Glenn was sitting nearby keeping watch over everything.

Though in all reality he was just taking the time to watch you sleep. It was rare to get any kind of peaceful moment in the apocalypse.

In the silence Glenn got an idea. He pulled an old polaroid camera from his bag, scooting closer to you. He was silent enough until the camera clicked. Your face scrunched up a bit though you weren’t angry. More confused about what was going on. When you slowly opened your eyes and looked up you saw Glenn holding the camera with it pointed at your face.

A laugh spread across his face. “Sorry.” He lowered the camera and you couldn’t help but laugh with him. You leaned back a bit, taking a moment to study his face.

Glenn looked back at you with an equally soft expression. He looked at you for a few moments before moving. “I’ll bring you breakfast after perimeter check.” He leaned down to press a soft kiss against your lips. There was no rushing this time, no fleeting moments. Time finally stopped. When Glenn pulled back you reached over to look at the picture. You scoffed and said he definitely needed to get rid of that one.

“Yeah…” He stared at the picture. “Not gonna happen. It’s mine.”
