he nods. looking behind her to see if anything followed. “ . .well , you don’t have to worry about me or the girl. we’ll leave soon. “

he knows how hurt and scared she was without him. he only wanted what was best for her. placing a hand on her shoulder , he’d lift her chin up to face him. “ you moved forward — that’s the promise you made me. keep moving , Clem. “

he smiles weakly to her before standing back up and looking down at her once more. “ maybe there’s a thing or two i could learn from you , huh , Clem ? “

“ you didn’t deserve any of this , Clem. i want you to know that. . .but , regardless , the amount of pride i feel seeing you live out that promise you made me ; that you’ll never be afraid again and you’ll always move forward. “

“ two extra mouths to feed isn’t a burden you can risk. besides , we left from a herd following us a few miles back. . .we all should get moving. “

Lee would nod. “ sorry we didn’t really have a lot of supplies with us — we try to travel light. “

// really happy i joined TWD verse — however i might make either an acc in the Last of Us verse or the Resident Evil verse ...dunno

he doesn’t think Clem needs a boyfriend but . . .he can deal with it.

about to go out. he’ll be back soon. the reader is free to tag along.

he’s awake. . .sorry , he’s just a bit tired.

that’s okay. . .he’ll stay here as long as she needs. he’s just at peace with knowing she’s finally sleeping. unlike other nights.

he’s done things he’s not so proud of — he hopes Clem doesn’t take what he does to heart. . .and think ill of him.

hands the reader his last granola bar. smiling weakly. “ take it. ill be okay. “

not happening.

she knows he won’t.

takes a sigh before rubbing his sleepy eyes.
