"Rick, we needa talk." Shane said as he and Rick swept the perimeter of the farm. Rick nodded and glanced towards his best friend.
"About what?" Rick asked and barely had seconds to defend himself as he was shoved against the back of the barn. He went to grab his gun when his stomach dropped, realizing it wasn't there, but probably sprawled on the ground somewhere.
"You ain't gunna need that," Shane whispered lowly into Rick's ear. Shane's hand circled around the back of Rick's neck and pulled him closer, their bodies flush against each other.
"Shane, what're you doin'?" Rick asked, his heart racing despite the fact that it shouldn't have been. Shane just laughed harshly into Rick's neck and ground his hips forward right into Rick's. The Sheriff bit into his bottom lips, holding back a moan as he felt his former partner place sloppy, open-mouthed kisses on his neck.
"Somethin' I shoulda done a long time ago." Shane murmured, kissing along the Sheriff's collarbone before pulling away and looking him in the eyes.
"Really now?" Rick said as he smirked, looking back into Shane's golden eyes. Shane smirked back softly, grabbing Rick's jaw and kissing him gently in response.
"Rick," someone murmured into his ear, shaking gently at his arm.
"Hm?" Rick hummed back in response as he closed his eyes tighter, trying to continue his dream.
"Hey, man, wake up." Rick knew that voice anywhere, that pet name.
"Shane?" Rick asked, his voice thick with sleep and his eyes still closed.
"Yeah," Shane replied back and shook his arm once more, trying to will his eyes open. Rick sighed and peeked his eyes open to see his best friend right beside him in his and Lori's small tent.
"Come on, s'already almost 12." Shane murmured and walked out of the tent. Rick was up and dressed in 5 minutes, heading out to see Carol and Daryl setting the table for lunch. Rick had always thought they'd hook up, but they hadn't yet. Someday, Rick thought as he spotted Lori and Carl preparing the food. Lore must've seen him also because she ghosted over to him and kissed him on the cheeek.
"How'd you sleep?" She asked and Rick smiled softly before giving a slight nod of his head. Lori smiled back at him and put a gentle hand on his arm before walking over to the tent. Rick looked around until his eyes met Shane's and Shane winked at him, a grin on his face. Rick couldn't help but grin back.
Author's Note: I am aware of how short this is and how long it took me to update, but I am really sorry. I'm not going to make up some bull shit excuse because I don't have one. If I am being honest, I just didn't feel like writing at all. Thank you for reading though.c:
