Well I noticed a lack of Glaggie on this website - and wow that's hella depressing. So while rewatching the series I had this idea so I'm just rolling with it. This chapter isn't my best work, but I hope you enjoy it!
It was easier than Glenn thought, scaling the old wooden house. Maggie of course never locked her window, making it easier to open whenever she wanted to. Glenn was grateful for this, because despite the fact he probably could open the window while it was locked, there was no balcony outside of Maggie's room and it would've been extremely difficult to do it quietly. Glenn had expected to see her upset, but what he saw when opening the window was something far past his expectations.
She lay in her bed, curled around herself, crying into her pillow. She didn't even here the window open or Glenn hopping into her room. It was the most vulnerable Glenn had ever seen Maggie, and for a moment he wasn't sure what he was supposed to do. Frozen with confusion he stood there, how could his Maggie, the Maggie who caused him to stutter on their first run, the Maggie that had cracked an egg on his head with his own hat, the Maggie who had been attacked by that walker and knew far too well before they had opened fire on that barn that nobody that was in there were the same people she had lost.
And as she lay there, grief stricken, Glenn noticed the only thing he could do. He walked over and gently laid himself on the bed, pressing his chest to her back and wrapping his arms around her. Her body tensed as he did this, her crying halted but her breathing still remained short, afraid it was her father, or worse, Beth that had come to comfort her. Maggie was strong, she couldn't let her family see her in such disarray.
"It's just me Maggie. It's Glenn it's okay." He told her soothingly. Her body immediately relaxed.
"G-G-Glenn." She made out through choked sobs. She turned herself over so she could look at him, his hands extended to cup her cheeks. "H-How did you get here?"
"Snuck out of the camp, climbed up the supports of the house. Wasn't too bad, I was in fact the guy they sent on runs to Atlanta for being so sneaky you know?"
She shivered for a moment, despite his attempts to cheer her up, the thought of Glenn alone in the city full of walkers didn't make her feel any better. Glenn cursed at himself for his choice of words, it was Maggie who had shown him he was more than just the errand boy or walker bait.
"I'm sorry Maggie," He said pulling her close to him. He was so sorry. Sorry he had chosen those words. Sorry that Shane had acted so rash. Sorry that they had shot up every walker in that barn in front of her. Sorry that she had to lose all that was left of those family members. Sorry that he hadn't snuck out earlier or had just stayed with her to be here sooner. Glenn was so sorry.
She looked up at him, her eyes red and puffy, fresh tears trickling down her face. He took her head in hands and kissed her softly. "Don't leave," She whispered to him.
"Never." He pulled her into him, muffling her cries against his chest. He tucked her head under his chin.
"Don't leave me too." His heart was crushed by the longing in her words, squeezing her tightly so she would know, he would NEVER leave her.
After some time he felt her breathing even, her muffled cries stopped and he knew she had fallen asleep. He let himself rest for a couple of hours before he awoke to the sun just beginning to rise. Gently, he rolled himself out of the bed. He noticed a pen and pad on her nightstand, where he wrote a note and rested in on the bed next to her. Just as silent as the night before, he climbed out the window and down the house.
Maggie awoke a couple of hours later in a haze, half remembering what had happened the night prior. When she realized Glenn was no longer there she cursed at herself for imaging some situation where he cared enough to do and say the things she had thought he had.
As she got out of bed, she noticed the note that had been left. Confused at the strange paper she picked it up.
Maggie,
I'm sorry I had to leave before you woke up, the camp is gonna get up soon and it's probably best they don't realize I'm missing. I would've woken you up, but you truly needed some rest. And even though I'm not here when you read this, that doesn't mean I left you. I'll never leave you.
-Glenn
