A/N: So this story is something a little special. I've read a lot of storys involving our favorite Tallumbus couple, but all from Columbus' point of view. So this special story is from Tally's point of view.
I've lost count of how long it's been since buck had passed, at first it was hard. It was like all my meaning for living had been lost forever. I thought that killing them fuckin' zombies would give me some sort or revenge or somethin', but it didn't. It just couldn't fill that void in my cold black heart. Then Columbus came along.
At first glance I thought that this kid would wind up just dragging me down. After Buck I swore I would never, ever get attached to anyone again. Just lookin' at the kid was askin' fer trouble. Scrawny, nervous, stupid lil spit-fuck.
Once the Pacific Playland adventure was over, I started to realize that it wasn't just my kind heart that made me go with Columbus. It was Columbus. I never thought that I would get attached... possessive even. Every time that Bitchita came by and wooed my little spit-fuck I wanted to go shoot something. It never dawned on me till we were driving to Columbus, Ohio that it hit me. I'm falling for C'lumbus.
"Hey Tally?"
Tallahasse was snapped out of his train of thought, looking at the boy then in the rearview mirror to see the girls still asleep.
"Yea?"
"Um... do you think that maybe... you could help me get tougher?" Columbus asked, fiddling with his hoodie strings, popping the left one in his mouth.
"Err... Whad'a mean spit-fuck?" Now Tallahassee was confused, was he trying to look tougher and get that "badboy" look for that stupid bitch?
"Well, I hate being the one who keeps everyone back... who keeps holding you back. I not only want to get tougher but I want to /look/ tougher as well. I saw you teaching Little Rock how to shoot, and... I don't know I just want to try and be better." His eyes shot down and a red blush came to his face.
"Like you."
The words hit me right in the face, what in the hell was this kid trying to do to him. Yes truth be told in the past I was more into the manly men, but why did Columbus want to do this now? Why all of a sudden?
"Well, I guess if you want I can help you, but why me? Why don't you ask your... /girlfriend/?" God those words tasted horrible in my mouth. I could only say it with a little venom added to it.
"Well, 'cause she's a girl and I think she'd laugh at me..."
"Ha! And you don't think I wouldn't?" That made the boy blush beat red.
"Well no, but I thought that you are someone I always wanted to be." Columbus was staring at me, I could feel it. I turned my head and for a second, our eyes locked and somethin' in me just melted. coudl it be my icy heart?
"Alright spit-fuck, I'll help ya. What do you want to work on first?" I think I might have made a deal with the devil.
