Imagine our OTP knowing they can't be together due to outside circumstances. They try to stay away from each other, but they both feel so much better when the other one is around. Then one day, person B tells person A she can't go on like this, living a lie, and they kiss.
"If what your dad thinks about us is so important to you, maybe there shouldn't be an 'us'" The shirt-clad woman spoke up. On the outside, she was glaring, on the inside, she was hurt and crushed.
"No, no I don't want us to be over." The woman in the tank top replied, grabbing hold of the other woman's arms and bending down to be eye-to-eye with her. "Carley, please…"
"Lilly, you can't keep denying what we have whenever he is around. You deny what we have even when he isn't around, to make sure others don't tell him." Carley sighed, her eyes downcast so not to look Lilly in the eye.
"I'm sorry, I just don't want you to get hurt. He doesn't like this kind of relationship, that's all." Lilly's eyebrows curved into a sorrowful expression.
"Maybe if you told him about you, he wouldn't be so homophobic." Carley offered, sighing.
"Carley, please, don't be like that." Lilly pulled the shorter woman towards her, pulling her in to a hug. "It's hard, y'know? He's my dad, and-" Lilly shoved Carley off her, pushing her into a chair as the door to her room swung open. "We live by my fucking rules, Carley!"
"Carley." Larry's gruff voice sounded from the door, and Carley could feel his glare without looking. "I think it best you leave." Larry huffed and Carley stood up, glaring at Lilly as she left, sighing angrily.
"Dad…"
"You need to do something to show your authority here, Lilly. Every time I come in here, Carley's disobeying you. Just, I don't know, throw her out of camp."
"No! I mean, no. We can't do that. I wouldn't be a good leader if I just started throwing people out of our group, can I?" Lilly sat down on her bed, holding her head in her hands.
"You'll never get the respect you earn if you don't do something." Larry sat down in the chair Lilly had pushed Carley into, and looked at his daughter with a cold but loving stare. "I just don't want people undermining you."
"They won't dad. I can handle the situation on my own, really." Lilly looked up at him, pouting ever so slightly.
"That's the 5th time in 3 days that bitch hasn't listened to you." Larry motioned to the door.
"Dad, please…" Lilly begged.
"You need to do something, sweetie. Fast. Kenny isn't going to do anything right, and that Lee doesn't fight his own battles, just sides with you." Larry stood up and walked over to Lilly, ruffling her hair. "I know you'll do the right thing." With that, he turned around and left her room, casting a glare over Carley who was talking to Lee about something.
Lilly sighed and went to her door, holding onto the doorframe, looking out over their camp. Kenny and Katjaa were sat on the couch talking, Duck and Clem were drawing with chalks, Mark was on watch, and Carley was explaining something to Lee, whatever that was.
"No, Lee, what I'm saying is you, Kenny and Mark should go hunting for some food for us. We're running out and you know it." Carley gestured with her hands as she spoke to Lee. They were running out of food and they couldn't let that happen.
"Why don't you come? You've got dead-eye accuracy and we could use that for hunting." Lee asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Lee, you can take the hunting rifle, okay? I'd rather stay here." Carley stressed, frowning.
Back at Lilly's room, she sighed. I can't go on like this, living a lie.
Lilly pushed off the wall and strode over to Carley. Kenny and Katjaa leant forward to see what made their leader so angry. Mark looked down at Lilly as she walked past the front of the RV. Duck and Clem looked up from their drawings to see why the camp suddenly went quiet. Larry turned around and smirked, his daughter was finally doing something. Lee looked behind Carley at the approaching woman and Carley saw this and turned around.
Her eyes widened slightly as Lilly grabbed her arms, but she relaxed a little when Lilly pulled her close and took possession of the shorter woman's mouth, claiming it with her own. After a short while, Lilly pulled back, still holding onto Carley's arms.
"There. Now everyone knows."
