Fluff/Drama

Negan and Alex.

Being deaf was something that never bothered you. You had learned how to speak the best you could and could read people’s lips most of the time. But it had come to be something scary for you living in this new world. Thankfully you had found good people to stay with. Rick and his friends treated you like family and always watched out for you. You weren’t sure exactly how or why this was happening but now you were all staying at a new location. It was a compound surrounded by suspicious looking men. You were around when the others spoke about a man named Negan, by the look on their faces he wasn’t good news. The others had already met him, you hadn’t. Daryl went and picked you up from Alexandria and bought you back explaining this would be the new place you would all live in. You had no idea a deal was made between Rick and Negan but you didn’t mind. You just wanted a safe place to live in.

“Who’s this?” A man walked in who you figured to be Negan. He was staring at you as you stood beside the others carrying a bag of your belongings.
“This is Alex. She’s with us.” Rick responded. Negan stepped closer to you and smiled with a sly look in his eyes. He loved having new women around.
“What’s that you got there?” He looked towards the bag over your shoulder. You couldn’t really make out what he said and stayed silent.
“What’s wrong with you? I make you nervous?” He licked his lips squinting his eyes at you.
“Leave her alone. She ain’t hear you. She can’t…she’s deaf.” Daryl interrupted making Negan look his way then back to you.
“Is that right.” He muttered to himself and you noticed his eyes drift down to the rest of your body.
“So she can’t hear me say how much I’d like to drown my dick in her huh?” He laughed.
“Enough.” Rick muttered in your defense, you watched Negans lips move and caught most of what he said and got embarrassed.
“She can read lips most of the time.” He continued making Negan stop his laughter then look back at you.
“Well shit.” He whispered.
“Sorry darling. I can go overboard sometimes.” He gave you an apologetic look but you rolled your eyes making him smirk.
“Well boys-” Negan looked over at Rick and Daryl.
“Get her shit to a room and go back to what you were doing.” He ordered and walked away. They both helped you take your stuff and bought you to a small empty room with a bed and a dresser. Daryl placed your belongings on top of your bed and you whispered thanks.
“I’m right next door if you need me.” He pointed at himself then at the room next door to make sure you understood him. You nodded and smiled as they closed the door and left. You opened your bag and began taking out all your stuff organizing them in the drawer. It was late and you were getting sleepy so you decided to change into your pjs. Your back was to your door so you didn’t see Negan open the door and step inside. He froze when he realized you were in the middle of removing your bra. He wasn’t much of a good man but that didn’t mean he felt right in violating your privacy this way. But it was so tempting, your bare shoulders, your back..then you turned around.
“Oh!” You screamed pulling up the straps of your bra.
“Shit.” He looked to the side not knowing how to explain himself. He knew he looked bad. He took a step closer trying to find the right words but you stepped back crossing your arms covering yourself only making him chuckle.
“Women.” He muttered.
“Men.” You whispered back making him raise his eye brows.
“So you do speak.” He grinned taking another step closer.
“You should leave..” You looked away not being able to maintain eye contact with someone who had such an intimidating look.
“Why?” You looked back to catch him looking down at your body.
“I’m not gonna do anything. Just wanted to see if you were set in your new room.” Which was true although it certainly didn’t look that way anymore.
You had a bit of trouble reading what he just said and he noticed.
“I’ll leave.” He mouthed slowly lifting his hands up so you wouldn’t be afraid anymore. He kind of felt bad making you feel uncomfortable. He knew it must’ve been hard for you dealing with strange people and strange surroundings not being able to hear much of anything. You nodded and watched as he left the room closing the door behind him. As soon as he left you ran to the door locking it not wanting anyone else to walk in with you like this again. You finished changing and climbed into bed not being able to stop thinking about Negan. Yes he was intimidating and yes he didn’t seem like the greatest man, but something attracted you to him.

The next morning you headed downstairs to find some of the group eating together when Negan stepped in. It was strange and it was awkward for you. The two of you stared at each other without saying a word but instead he gave you a wink. You looked away uncomfortably and went outside for a walk.

There wasn’t much for you to do so you wanted to get to know the place a little better. You had no idea a few of Negans men were building a new weapon and testing it out as you walked through their target area.
“Hey lady move!” One of the men yelled not knowing you couldn’t hear them. The men began to panic as the weapon was a few seconds away from hitting the target when Negan suddenly ran your way throwing you both to the ground. You screamed hitting his shoulder when you noticed he had a protective hold on you, shielding your head.
“What’s happening!?” You gasped but he didn’t say a thing and instead gave you a little squeeze to stop you from moving. A few seconds later he lifted his head up looking ahead. You followed his eyes to see smoke and broken glass.
“What the fuck is wrong with that woman? Did she not fucking hear us screaming at her! What is she deaf?!” One of the men yelled as Negan got up off of you, picked you up and turned to him not liking what he said.
“Her name is Alex.” He spoke angrily.
“And yes she is deaf, watching your fucking mouth. Why don’t you fucks be more careful with your surroundings.” He continued.
You couldn’t see what he was saying but you could see the men back down. Negan turned to you and reached his hand out to you and you quickly took it suddenly feeling more trusting towards him.
“Alex! What happened!? Are you ok?!” Rick, Maggie and the others came running out towards you as Negan dragged you to his room.
“She’s fine. You people should be more careful with her, almost got herself killed.” He spoke without looking their way and continued heading to his room. You looked back to see the gun pointing at what was destroyed and realized Negan saved you. The others stared at you worriedly but you simply smiled assuring them you were fine and followed Negan inside.

He seemed frustrated and tense as he took off his leather jacket and threw it to the side.
“Thank you.” You suddenly spoke making him turn to you.
“Your fucking friends should watch out for you more.” He definitely was upset. But not at you. He was mad at the fact that there you stood alone in an unfamiliar place not being able to hear and no one was helping you.
“You shouldn’t be alone.”
“I’m fine.” You simply responded.
“Almost got yourself killed right now!” He yelled and you could tell he raised his voice, you just didn’t get why he cared.
“You’re a good woman, Alex. I could see that, and I wouldn’t want anything happening to you.” He stared into your eyes as you watched his lips move.
“Why do you care?” You asked curiously. He stepped forward unexpectedly taking your hand and placing it on his throat so you could feel the vibration of his deep voice.
“Like I said..I can tell you’re a good fucking woman.” You chuckled realizing he just liked to curse then stared up into his eyes.
“Kiss me.” He suddenly whispered making your eyes widen, you weren’t sure if you read correctly.
He laughed at your reaction.
“Kiss me.” He repeated. You hesitated for a moment looking back and forth at his eyes and lips. He didn’t give you anymore time to decide what you were going to do and pulled you to him, kissing your lips hard. You kissed him back as he pushed his tongue between your lips, flicking it around yours. He pulled back staring down at you with eager eyes. You obviously couldn’t hear but you could tell he was out of breath by how fast his chest was moving. He continued kissing your neck and you moaned not realizing you did it loud enough for him to hear. He squeezed you in closer when suddenly he stopped. You looked up to see him staring angrily at something or someone. When you turned it was Daryl.
“You son of a bitch!” Daryl yelled angrily, he swore Negan was trying to take advantage of you.
“No!” You stood in front of Negan stopping Daryl.
“You can’t fucking keep her safe, then I will!” Negan roared back at him, Daryl stepped closer.
“She ain’t yours! She’s one of us!” Daryl yelled.
“Not anymore!”
The two went back and forth for a minute, turning red in anger pushing you aside. You lost track of what was being said, it was all too much for you now. You hated not being able to hear, not being able to fully care for yourself in this world.
“Stop!” You suddenly screamed squeezing your eyes shut. You opened your eyes to find both men silently staring at you.
“I’m deaf…not a toy.” You looked at Negan.
“And not defenseless.” You looked at Daryl. Both fought to defend themselves, especially Negan. He didn’t want you thinking he was out to just play around with you. He was beginning to care for you. The two men stared at each other annoyed before Daryl walked off. Negan was pissed that he made him look like he was out to use you.
“Just stop.” You stood before Negan stopping him from continuing to go out after him. He looked down at you, took your hand and kissed it gently.
“You’re not so bad after all huh?” You whispered making him smile.
He shrugged.
“A good woman comes along and it fucking makes me soft.”
You smiled and put your hand to his throat again. You liked feeling the vibration of his voice as he spoke. The look in your eyes only made him smile. You seemed so genuinely happy and satisfied by just that feeling. He tilted your face up to look up at him.
“I gotta go finish some stuff. Stay here, I’ll be back tonight.” He watched as you watched his lips move and nodded. He found it cute how you concentrated on reading his lips.
“I’ll stay here.” You responded.
“Good.” He kissed you once more on your lips and left the room.
