You slowly walked back and forth across the length of the room, bouncing the sleepy baby girl in your arms. "C'mon, Judy. We both know you're ready for bedtime," you whispered, where as she began to whine fussily and eventually started to cry. "Oh, okay! Here we go..." you shifted her so you held her close to your chest with her head on your shoulder and hummed a lullaby. Judith’s head began to loll to the side.
Unknown to you, your boyfriend was watching from the doorway lovingly, smiling at how something as sweet and simple as your voice could put his little sister to sleep. As you leaned over and laid Judith in her crib, Carl wrapped his arms around your middle and nuzzled his head into the crook of your neck, his long hair tickling you.
"Hi," you sighed pleasantly. You could feel his lips form as smile as they were pressed into your neck.
"You're so good with her," he said softly. "It reminds me of how much I love you both," You shifted yourself in his strong arms so you were facing him, noses nearly touching.
"I love you too, Carl." Slowly, he brought his lips to yours for a sweet and short kiss that made your heart stutter in a sudden jolt of emotion. Carl moved away, but you leaned back in for a more passionate kiss that he responded to by firmly gripping your hips. You placed your hands on his broad chest and clenched his grey shirt in your fists.
"We should take this to my room," Carl breathed, eyes heavy lidded and glazed over with a newfound lust. You nodded hurriedly and allowed the only boy you've ever loved to lead you to his bedroom across the hall. Once inside, Carl closed the door, cupped your face in his hands and smashed his lips into your own passionately. Automatically, your arms wound themselves around your boyfriend's thick neck tightly and you shivered with excitement as you felt his hands trace your curves and then rest at your backside. As your kissing session gradually became more zealous, Carl walked you backwards until the back of your knees hit the bed. You allowed your body to fall back naturally, giggling when Carl fell on top of you ungracefully. He chuckled briefly, allowing you to see the crinkle in his eye before his mouth, slightly parted, descended onto yours. His tongue traced your lips and you gladly allowed him access. Unable to help yourself, your awakened body pressed itself against Carl, earning a carnal growl that came deep from his chest.
Face flushed pink, Carl moved his desire-drenched lips to the junction between your neck and jawline, kissing there tenderly before applying pressure and introducing teeth. You inhaled sharply at the feeling of his teeth clenching onto your sensitive skin and sucking, flicking his tongue over the tender mark. He repeated this tantalizing advance in numerous places on your neck, collarbone and - much to your pleasure - the tops of your breasts. All the while, your fingers remained threaded between Carl's brown hair eagerly. He was creating a masterpiece and you, were his blank canvas. By the time Carl was satisfied with his art, there were red and purple marks all over the upper part of your body. You didn't know how you were going to cover them up, but quite frankly you didn't care. You gazed into Carl's enticing blue eye with an overwhelming sense of adoration and love.
"That was nice," you exhaled. He grinned brightly.
"Yes, it was. Now everyone will know that you're mine!" you shrieked with joy as Carl peppered your face with endless kisses. _______________________________
The sun beat down on you mercilessly and you paused from your digging to wipe the sweat off of your forehead. You looked over at Rosita with jealousy as she worked relentlessly in nothing but a pair of shorts and a tank top. That could be you, but instead you were completely covered with a grey hoodie (Carl's grey hoodie, to be in fact) in order to hide your love bites from everyone in Alexandria.
"Hey, Mini-Me," Daryl greeted, hooking an arm around your neck and rubbing his fist into your head. He insisted on calling you Mini-Me ever since he learned that you knew exactly how to use a crossbow and had a strange love for pig's feet. He loved you like a little sister.
"Daryl!" you protested. "Come on, that's just mean!"
"Not as mean as ya breath! Woo, girly!" he teased, taking a step back and waving a hand in front of his nose.
"Shut up!" you giggled, fully well knowing that your breath did not stink.
"Watchu wearin'? You're gonna get a heatstroke," he commented, looking at the hoodie you wore. You blushed and shifted your hair from one side of your neck to the other, a nervous habit. Just as you were about to give a half-assed answer, Daryl suddenly spoke up again.
"What're those marks on ya neck?" he demanded. You gasped and hurried to fix your hair back, but it was too late. Daryl grabbed your head and tilted it to the side, inspecting your neck that was littered with love bites. "The hell are these?" he exclaimed.
"Daryl, the girl is fifteen. She's allowed to have some fun with her boyfriend," Rosita said, ceasing her digging to watch the scene unfold.
"The hell she's not!" he growled. "You crazy, girl? You tryna have another Judith?"
"What? Daryl, no!" you shrieked; people were starting to look now and you wanted to die from embarrassment.
"What you wearin' under this?" he asked, face sour. "A-a tank top-"
"Take the hoodie off."
"What?"
"Take it off, or I rip it off," he threatened darkly. Humiliated, you took the jumper off, leaving you in a spaghetti-strap top, exposed for everyone to see.
"Jesus, Y/N!" Rosita gasped, looking at your exposed hickeys. The tops of your breasts, your neck, your arms and, although it was thankfully concealed, your stomach.
"Come with me," Daryl grunted, grabbing your wrist and tugging you along.
"Where are we going?" you squeaked, holding the sweater to your chest. He didn't answer. Instead, Daryl lead you up to a group of adults, consisting of Glenn, Maggie, Carol, Abraham, Sasha, Michonne and - dear God help you - Rick.
"Hey, Daryl, Y/N," Rick greeted, eyes lingering on you for a little while longer. As matter of fact everyone was looking at you.
"Ya'll see this?" Daryl growled, tugging on your arm.
"What kind of bugs were those?" Glenn wondered aloud. Maggie started to laugh.
"I think those were love bugs," Sasha replied, also chuckling.
"Daryl, could you not?" you asked, feeling anger replace your embarrassment.
"You lost your damn mind?" Rick asked you, shaking his head. "You want to have a baby at fifteen?"
"NO! God, why is everyone saying that? Carl and I didn't do anything!"
"Is that why you're black, blue and purple all over?" Michonne inquired, raising an eyebrow.
"Y/N?" Carl was walking up to the group of teasing and scolding adults, eyes wide. You looked at him pleadingly.
"There's the culprit!" Maggie giggled.
"Care to explain, son?" Rick asked pointedly, nodding at you. Carl's eyebrows drew close together.
"Why do you have to humiliate her like this?" he cried. "Yeah, Y/N and I did some stuff last night-"
"Don't say it like that!" you groaned.
"-But that doesn't mean parading her around town like some sort of object!" he finished.
"Put the damn hoodie back on," Daryl grunted, and you quickly obliged.
"Did you at lease use protection, Carl?" Carol asked sweetly, though it was clear that she was just trying to prolong the humour to the situation.
"No," Carl said between gritted teeth. "Because we didn't fuck!"
"Carl!" Rick shouted.
"What? I'm being honest!" he said earnestly.
"Alright, we'll leave you two alone." Michonne said. "But don't do anything stupid."
"Yeah, we got it." Carl grumbled, taking your hand and leading you away. "I'm so sorry that happened to you," he apologised.
"Don't be," you sighed. "It's Daryl. Of course he was going to react like that."
"Yeah, but I should have given you hickeys in less exposed places." Carl reasoned.
"Well, the whole point was to let them know that I'm yours." you argued. "I think the message got across,"
"Ya think?" Carl snorted, making you throw your head back in laughter. Your family may have been incredibly overbearing and annoying, but at least they cared. That was one thing a lot of kids wished for nowadays.
