Chapter Text
"CLEM!" Violet shouted as she saw a walker sneaking up on her girlfriend. Clementine turned around quickly seeing the gaining walker and knocked its knee in so she could finish it with her knife to the head.
But more were swarming the group, to much that not all four could take so they started running in the opposite direction back to the school. A gust of wind came as they ran that knocked Clem's hat right off her head.
"Crap, My hat!" Clementine turned round to run and get it but the walkers were gaining again.
"I'm sorry Clem but its to dangerous" Louis pulled a sad Clem away from the last bit of her childhood and bit of her parents she had left. They made there way safely back to the school while losing the walkers in the process, but Clementine didn't find it as a victory. Later that night they could see on Clementine's face why she wasn't feeling to good and by how bare her head looked. She went for a walk around the yard, distracting herself as best she could from the cold breeze she felt on her forehead.
"Hey you okay Clem?" Louis asked, walking over to the girl sitting by herself. He had the majority of the group with him wanting to know what's up with one of their most recent members.
"Oh yeah I'm fine why?" Clementine answered, brushing off the question.
"You just look really...sad. Is it about your hat? You've had it for as long as I can remember" AJ asked sitting up beside her.
"Uhh yeah I am pretty sad about it kiddo. It was my dad's and I had it before the walkers started. It was last thing I had of my parents." Clem sighed, a tear slid down her cheek. AJ wiped it away when he saw it which made her laugh.
"Thanks goofball, it's okay guys. I'll just...find another hat" Clem sighed looking down at her hands.
"No need." Violet's voice came from behind them as she walked up to the group with a smile and Clementine's hat in her hand, Clem's head shot up at her voice.
"My hat!" Clem got up quickly and rushed over to her girlfriend, hugging her. Violet handed Clem her hat and she placed it back on her head where it belonged.
"But how did you find it?" Clem asked.
"Oh it wasn't far from where you dropped it so I found it pretty easy." Violet explained with a shrug.
"Vi it was to dangerous to go back there alone" Clementine explained with anger but also fear in her eyes.
"I'm fine, look! And I got your hat back, I know it means a lot to you." Violet shyly smiled at her girlfriend making the brunette smile back at her.
"Okay! That's our queue to leave!" Louis got up when he noticed his friends wanted a moment alone. Everyone at that got up and went on with their night as the two girls sat down to talk.
"That was pretty stupid Violet." Clem started as they sat down on one of the couches.
"You know, you haven't thanked me once since I got back." Violet grinned with a raised eyebrow.
"Thank you, I really do appreciate it. But you know I would rather you here any day then my hat." Clem laughed, moving closer to the blonde.
"Really? 'Cause you keep that hat closer to you more then me sometimes." Violet joked back.
"Not true...here." Clem took off her hat and placed it backwards on Violet's head. She laughed at her girlfriend's reaction of the new thing sitting on her head.
"How's it look?" Violet asked jokingly, making the brunette smile more. Clementine slowly leaned in closer to the blonde, Violet doing the same.
"Perfect." Clem sighed against Violet's lips, finally closing the gap between them. But this moment didn't last long as they heard "EWs" and "Get a room!" from their friends.
This made both girls roll their eyes and smile.
"Bell tower?" Violet asked simply as she stood up with her hand out stretched for Clementine. She already knew the answer. Clem took her hand as they both snuck up to the bell tower without anyone watching.
They sat down at their usual spot where they had their first kiss. Clementine smiled down at the button that was still pinned to her jacket, remembering that night.
"Remember that night?" Violet asked looking up at the stars like she had before, Clem's hat still resting on her head.
"You say that every time come up here" Clementine laughed looking to her girlfriend.
"Yeah, well, I just don't want you to forget that's all."Violet shrugged shyly with a smile.
"You know I never will." Clem smiled back at her, intertwining her hand in Violet's. Violet moved much closer to Clementine then they had been that first night.
"So, did you have to deal with any walkers?" Clementine turned her head slightly looking at her girlfriend for an answer, a worried look on her face.
"Yeah just a few, but that massive horde had moved on so it wasn't so bad" Violet answered, reassuring her girlfriend.
"Good" Clem smiled, leaning her head on Violet's shoulder. "I don't know what I'd do with myself if you got hurt because of me".
Violet kissed Clem's temple before she answered.
"You don't need to worry about that Clem. Just focus on keeping yourself alive, because I couldn't bare losing you either".
"I'm not going anywhere Vi" Clementine answered, looking up and wrapping her arms around the blonde's waist.
"Good,'cause neither am I" Violet smiled, pulling Clem closer so she could kiss her. Clementine pushed them both down as Violet kissed her so they could lay down.
"Vi? Clem? You up there? Omar has din-" Ruby shouted up at the to the bell tower but she was cut off by the two girls shouting back.
"Yeah in a minute!" "Alright!". Ruby just rolled her eyes and walked back to the rest of the group.
"Love is weird".
