Imagine being wounded and confessing your love for Glenn.

"

Everything was hurting. Pain was coursing through your veins like a drug. Not even the morphine that Hershel had given you was enough to drown out to agonising hurt that the bullet wound had caused. Had that damn Governor not rolled up to the gates of the prison, you'd be totally fine. But no, the asshole had to go ahead and play "my dick is bigger than yours".

Well, at least one posivite thing had come out of yesterday. Daryl had returned and no matter how much you wished he hadn't brought Merle along, you were more than happy he decided to come back. The group wasn't the same without him. Plus, teaching that Governor a lesson without some Dixon badassery would be pretty impossible.

With a small groan of pain leaving your lips, you managed to turn your head to the right. A small smile appeared on your face as you watching Glenn Rhee asleep in his chair next to your bed. According to Hershel he'd stayed there all night, wide awake, holding your head. And just when you decided to wake up, he'd fallen asleep. 

Adorable idiot.

You had some trouble figuring out your feelings surrounding the boy ever since the farm. The two of you had been friends since pretty much the beginning, going back all the way to the camp in Atlanta. But lately something started to glow in your chest everytime you looked at him. Butterflies came alive in your stomach everytime he smiled at you. It had taken you a while to figure out that you were seriously, and stupidly, falling in love with him.

But between walkers invading the prison, the new threat of the Governor showing up and getting shot, you hadn't really found the right time to tell him. That was, if you were ever going to tell him.

Life was short and unpredictable. It always had been but ever since the world ended, that had only become worse. Death was always around the corner, forcing you to at least consider telling him. The thought of dying, or worse, him dying, without ever telling him how you felt made you feel cold inside.

On the other hand, if you told him and he didn't return those feelings and you both ended up living for a long time, things could become really complicated. The last thing you needed right now was things being complicated. There was no time for it with a psycho parading around, ready to kill everyone.

You stared at him, watching as his chest rose and fell with each breath he took. And suddenly you couldn't imagine not telling him. Glenn was everyone to you. A steady rock to lean on while the world burned around you. And there was no way you were ever going to lose him, whether that was by death or by distancing yourself because you loved him.

Because you did.

You loved him.

Suddenly he moved, startling you out of your thoughts. He yawned, blinked and then looked around confused. Only when his eyes landed on you did he seem to realise why he was located in the cell the group used as a makeshift hospital.

'Goodmorning,' you greeted him, smirking. It slightly startled you how hoarse your voice was but then you remember the amount of screaming you'd done when Hershel dug into your skin to remove the bullet. Being operated by a vet had its downsides...

Glenn almost fell out of his chair in his haste to stand up and walk over to you. With red cheeks he safely made it to the bed and sat down on the edge. 'Hey,' he mumbled, then took a deep breath to gather himself. 'How are you feeling?'

'Like I've been shot,' you responded, hoping it'd make him smile. But instead his eyes only grew more worried. 'I'm sorry,' you quickly said, 'I'm feeling better, really.'

He nodded, but didn't really seem to believe it.

You decided to change the topic to something else than the wound in your side. 'Hershel said you stayed all night,' you whispered, cursing yourself for choosing an even more awkward subject.

Glenn nodded again, his eyes avoiding looking at you as his cheeks turned even more red.

You reached out, ignoring the pain that flamed through your body when you moved, and took his hand in your own, squeezing it lightly. 'Thank you,' you said from the bottom of your heart. It meant the world to you that he'd stayed through some of the most scariest hours of your life.

Finally he looked up, his eyes so full of love that it almost hurt to look at it. 'No problem,' he replied softly, awaking the butterflies in your stomach once again.

It was now or never.

'You know, I appreciated it especially because lately I've realised that, in this new world, everything can end so suddenly. Just think of Lori a-and T-Dog.' It was still difficult to speak their names but this was something you had to say. 'I guess what I'm trying to say is that you never know when it's over and I just wanna make sure I've said everything I want to say in case...you know.'

A small frown appeared on his face. 'What do you wanna say?' He asked.

You took a deep breath, wincing slightly when your side burned at the movement, then squeezed his hand again, as if it was a lifeline through a storm. 'I love you, Glenn Rhee.'

Time seemed to stand still as the boy before you seemed to be completely in shock. His mouth was half open, his eyes wide and cheeks red. He looked so incredibly cute that a giggle escaped your lips.

'What do you say to that, weirdo?' You whispered, your heart beating way too fast in your chest.

He blinked, pulling himself out of his shocked state and finally a smile broke through on his features. 'Say? I don't-' He cut himself off, frowning while thinking of his words. Finally he took a deep breath, his smile growing wider. Then he leaned forwards and carefully placed his lips on yours.

The butterflies went wild, it felt like an entire circus act was happening down there. You smiled, savoring the feeling of his soft lips against your own and the pleasant chill that went through your body and drowned out the pain.

'Guess you don't have a lot to say then?' You mumbled against his lips.

He chuckled lightly before responding: 'I love you too, y/n, I love you too.'
