Carl Grimes

The club isn’t the best place to find a lover
So the bar is where I go
Me and my friends at the table doing shots
Drinking fast and then we talk slow

Come over and start up a conversation with just me
And trust me I’ll give it a chance now
Take my hand, stop, put Van the Man on the jukebox
And then we start to dance, and now I’m singing like

“Hey, Carl!” You grinned as you noticed the teen walking into the library that you sort of worked at. He looked up at the sound of your voice, a small smile on his lips.

“Hey.” He spoke, a small smile on his face. “Is it okay if I sit with you for a bit? I’ve got nothing to do.” You gave him a nod before going back to the CD player you’d found, attempting to make it work. “Yeah, that’s fine. I was pretty bored anyways.”

Carl sat down next to you at the table, setting Judith down so that she could play with some toys that you’d set out for her the last time she and Carl had come to visit you. The library had sort of been your ‘safe haven’ if you will, it was always the place you went if you needed some peace and quiet or just needed away from everyone else. Not a lot of people went there, but you practically lived there. And thankfully, it was the one place the saviors hadn’t completely raided.

“What’re you doing?” He questioned, glancing to Judith every few seconds to make sure she was alright. Your eyebrows were furrowed and your bottom lip was half sucked into your mouth in concentration as you worked on the CD player,“I’m trying to get this stupid thing to work. I haven’t heard actual music in a long time and it’d be nice to hear some.” He nodded, leaning back in his chair,“Yeah, it would. I didn’t realize how much I took it for granted.”

You sent a quiet laugh his way, glancing up at him for a moment,“Me either. All I did before the apocalypse was play outside and get thrown around by my brothers..” Your face fell at the thought of your deceased siblings, Carl taking notice immediately. He gently placed a hand over one of yours that had stopped working, causing you to look up at him. He sent a small smile your way, silently telling you he understood. The both of you had lost people, too many.

You shook the thoughts away and got back to work when his hand lifted off your own, a grin replacing your frown when the player turned on.

“Yes!” You cheered, turning the volume up as a song you didn’t recognize began to play. Your head began to bob to the music as you slowly got into it, standing up and beginning to sway your body in a funny way. Holding your hands out in front of you, you smiled at Carl,“Dance with me!”

Girl, you know I want your love
Your love was handmade for somebody like me
Come on now, follow my lead
I may be crazy, don’t mind me
Say, boy, let’s not talk too much
Grab on my waist and put that body on me
Come on now, follow my lead
Come, come on now, follow my lead

Carl’s eyes widened as he began to shake his head,“O-oh, no, that’s okay y/n.” You rolled your eyes, grabbing onto his hands and pulling him up and into your body.

“Dance with me, Grimes.”

He stood there as you began to sway your body to the music once again, a grin on your face. His heart skipped a beat,“I, uh, I don’t know how.” You slowed to a stop, a sweet smile on your face as the song changed to a slower one. You placed one of his hands onto your hip, grabbing the other one in your own and holding it up.

“I sort of know how. Just follow my lead.”

The two of you began to awkwardly dance, Carl stepping on your feet a few times only leaving you giggling as he apologized over and over. One of your hands lifted from his shoulder, covering his mouth,“Carl, stop talking. It’s okay.” He nodded, a quiet laugh leaving his own lips. He slowly began to ease into it as another song began and you lowered your head onto his shoulder, eyes closing. Carl didn’t know what to think. This was the closest he’d ever been to you, not that he minded.

It only made his feelings for you triple in size. It was as if his hand fit perfectly in yours, and he couldn’t help but think about your body either, the way your body curved in all the right places.

When your head lifted back up, your eyes caught his staring at you. Slowly and hesitantly, you went forward and placed your slightly chapped lips onto his, staying there for only a moment before pulling away with a shy look in your eyes. A grin made its way onto his face, alongside a pink hue.

There was no doubt in his mind that he was falling for you and your body.
