Author: Hey I re-upload this because I think the story is little off so I decided to re-write it to make it like the game how it is so I'm trying so hard to fit Nick's personality. After this chapter, I'll start working on the Apocalypse when I have time. Nick is 24 and Clem is 16, Pete is alive so he didn't get bit and survive with them yay! I love Click so I couldn't handle much writing about them just because I want this ship to grow :3 In this chapter, it's at night so I hope you guys understand what's going on. Enjoy!
It's been four months since Clementine met the group after she's rescued by Pete and Luke from the walkers. She been through hard times to get along with a few people who don't trust her especially Nick and Rebecca but as the days go by, Rebecca come to her senses apologized to her for her actions including Nick. They were getting along well but Nick's hot-tempered attitude does get in the way sometimes. Nick sees her as a semi-good friend but she sees him different...a secret crush. She secretly likes him for a month, liking his hair, cute smiling face, his attitude, his body and his bluish-grey eyes. She couldn't help it but wanting to spend time with him hoping he'll like her back but didn't make any progress at all. All he see her as a friend and nothing more but she can't stop thinking about him. She blushes every time he looks at her not noticing her liking signals. She's writing her journal on her daily days but mostly write about Nick. She's lying on the couch wearing a baggy red hoodie with a grey tank top underneath, blue skinny jeans, black sneakers and still wears a same "D" cap her dad given her. She sketches a chibi Nick in the right bottom corner paper, smiling adorably to the best effort of her skill.
"What you're writing?"
She yelps in freight as she jumps back to the other side of couch, wrapping her journal bringing to her chest seeing Nick behind the couch smiling.
"N- Nick! Nothing I was…drawing and writing a journal" She said nervously
"I didn't know you can draw, let me see" He's reaching for my journal but I move farther back to get away from his grasp.
"NO – um I didn't finish it yet" She's lightly flushing pink as Nick go around the couch to stand in front of her.
"Then let me see your other drawings you did" He tries again to get it but she hold it so tightly to her chest even more.
"They're not finished either; I'll let you know when I finish okay Nick?" She's breathing rapidly, heart hammering in her chest feeling anxiously as he's so close to her. Nick raises one of his eyebrows slightly confuse at her behavior.
"Fine then" He shrugged turning around to walk away as she's watching him making sure he's gone. As he's out of her eye sight, she releases her anxiety tension as she loosens her arms with her journal on her lap.
"That was close" She mumbles sighing in relief. She didn't want him to see this chibi drawing of him with three words next to it that says "I love Nick" along with her writing journal about him. She don't know how he will react finding out she likes him. Will he reject her telling he see her as a friend just because she's too young for him and not really his type? Or he'll accepted that he feel the same way about her? This is really too much in her head to think, it gives her a migraine. She needs to come up with something to find out about what things he likes; hobbies, favorite interest, or even what type of girls he likes. If they have something in common and is his type, she'll confess to him. She want to be with him for the rest of her life. As she's in her thoughts, she felt her journal snatched off her lap. She snappily turns her head to Nick in disbelief as he's smiling smugly holding her journal.
"Got it"
"SHIT". He must have been waiting for her to lose her guard before he has a chance to sneak up on her to grab it.
"NICK, GIVE IT BACK!" She jumps off the couch attempting to stretch her arms, reaching for her journal Nick was holding up in the air that is too high for out of her reach. He's tall for her as the height is about around her head meets his chest.
"Try me if you want it back then" He laughed cheekily at her jumping up and down like a little girl. Nick enjoys teasing her in a mean way often once in a while but it does piss her off. She stops jumping as she slightly growling having enough of his tease. Her eyes widened seeing Nick trying to open her journal while he's still holding it in the air. She can't let that happen, if anything happens once he find out, she'll be miserable for the rest of her life. She thought about doing the easy way or the hard way but this time she'll do the hard way. She jumps onto Nick's midsection, wrapping her legs around him trying to reach for it. His eyes are wide open and unexpectedly surprised as she jumped on him. He almost loses his balance on his footing as he stumbling backwards.
"The fuck Clem?! what are you doing?! I was just playing around with you, stop being so overreacting!
"Give it back to me PLEASE!" She's begging him with tears brimming in her eyes, trying to reach even farther as Nick holding his arm back like he's throwing a football. He lost his footing as he falls on his back along with Clementine holding on to him. He bangs his head hard on the edge of the table, slightly feeling a lot of pain.
"FUCK!' He cursed out loud.
He's rubbing the back of his head glaring at Clementine holding her journal she finally received, bringing to her chest while straddling him.
"What the fuck was that you idiot?! You could have me killed! He growled slightly in angry tone. The hurt is written on her face instantly as she see Nick so pissed at her for her actions but she couldn't let him see it but she did what she had to. It's her journal; he wouldn't have a right to take it away from her.
I'm sorry but I told you not to look into it, I'm so sorry Nick" She cried weakly looking at him feeling hurt with a slight a cringe as he glare daggers at her even more freighting. She was hoping he'll forgive her but it didn't seem like it is what she wanted.
"Sorry doesn't freaking cut it! I would've been into a coma or be dead just after you said 'Sorry' for this journal?! Clem you're fucking taking it seriously over that – ".
As he's ranting his mouth off, she's trying to be tough to not cry in front of him, not wanting him to see her weak like a little girl. She's holding to make any sounds as her lip quivering, tears shedding in the corner of her eye and her heart aches by the look he gave her.
"Hey aren't you listening kid?! I said get off of me!" He didn't take long to notice until her tears streaming down to her chin, dripping down on to his shirt which makes him widened his eyes in a full of shocked and realize what he have done.
"Shit wait I'm –"
She didn't want to hear any more from it, she couldn't hold her tears that have already broken down, he hurt her too much. She gets off of his midsection, turning her back on him to run upstairs into Nick's bedroom. He froze for a few seconds until he face palmed, blaming himself for his stupidity, his temperament he couldn't control and a worse thing he did was to make her cry.
"FUCK!" He screamed.
"What did you do this time Nick?"
Nick look back over his shoulder finding Luke crossing his arms standing 4 feet from him and he doesn't look happy. Nick got back on his feet, turning to look at him guilty. He bites his lip so hard, he can feel it bleeding and anxiously explaining to him what happened.
"Nothing, it's just I was playing around with her but I think I might have taken too far and I was pissed off for what she did and – "
"Really Nick… seriously!? I saw what you did; you are a complete dick to take it away from her just for to see the drawings!?
"I don't get why she's so serious for that shit Luke. She didn't want me to look into it but as I take it away from her when she's not paying attention, she completely freaks out and jump at me like a crazy monkey!"
"Maybe if you should realize that she didn't want you to see something that may be embarrassing in a first place. I mean if she wants it back then give it back to her and - god damn it Nick!" Luke places his hand on his forehead feeling a slight of headache.
"Look…you should really go easy on her; just doesn't teasing her so much often but you should have to talk to her, letting her know you didn't mean to be mad at her".
Luke is right, he want her to know that he didn't mean for what he said. It's not her fault for what she did; it was his for being an asshole and teases her like a bully.
"Yeah I guess your right" I'm always screwing up don't I man?" He smiled weakly.
"Eh you don't always screw up but you're always an asshole" He smiled back and gives him a hard pat on back.
"Goodnight, hope things work out between you two" He walked away to the kitchen and closed the door behind him.
Nick flailed his arm up in exhaustion as he sighed, wanting to get this thing over with and take a good night sleep. He noticed she went to his bedroom instead of hers, she must have not thinking where she's going but he didn't care. He'll talk with her then she'll leave him to sleep and it will be all over like nothing happen. He walks upstairs, standing in front his bedroom door across from him. He didn't make a move but just stare at it. He's not used to apologizing to people but he'll have to make his best effort. He takes a deep breath before knocking three times.
"Clem? It's me"
Author: This is one-sided crush in the beginning but later it won't be. She's kind of almost to an adult as almost 17-ish.
