Making Amends

The stillness of the room only amplified the tension that was building in it, as both occupants of the bed lay facing away from each other, getting as much space from each other as possible. After a particularly stressful day, followed by an even more intense strategy meeting, things had blown up between Clementine and Violet, co-leaders of Ericsons, or as they now called it, Texas Two. The argument however had not been about strategy, the threat of raiders or walkers, or supplies, rather it had been a personal argument which got out of hand and led to the ways things currently were now, with them lying separately in their bed. Clementine and Violet loved each other greatly, but this sadly meant they also had the means to greatly hurt each other too. Worst of all both of them were noted for their pride which was what left them in this state, neither wanting to be the first to apologize, but the tension was too much and the agony was becoming unbearable for both of them.

'Urgh, fuck I...shit...' Violet thought to herself. 'This was so fucking stupid, but Clem was...'

All the same, she couldn't deny the growing uneasiness and sadness within her, which she knew would only ease when she was back in the familiar warmth of Clem's arms.

Gripping her pillow tightly Clem grit her teeth. 'What is the matter with me I...This was, why would Violet and I...'

It was clear to Clem that she wasn't going to sleep tonight, not with things the way they were. Not without Violet in her arms which always made her feel safe, feel as if she belonged here.

Unable to take anymore, emotions winning out over pride Violet made up her mind. She sighed and turned around to apologize, only for her forehead to painfully connect with Clem's. The brunette had turned around at the same time, with the same intent: to apologize.

"Ow!" They both cried out, both covering their forehead with one of their hands, grimacing in pain.

For a few seconds, they lay dazed, just staring at each other with surprised, and pain-filled, expressions. Then, they began to giggle.

"I'm sorry, Vi." Clementine murmured, reaching her arms out and wrapping them around the other girl, pulling her close and kissing her forehead.

Violet returned the forehead kiss. "I'm sorry, too."

"I love you." Clementine whispered as she rested her cheek against the top of Violet's head, blonde hair tickling her skin.

Violet smiled, blushing, and closed her eyes, snuggling closer to her girlfriend as she whispered back, "I love you, too, Clementine."

They talked for a bit longer, agreeing to never go to bed angry again, neither one would get any sleep and they might end up with a concussion or something from knocking foreheads so many times. Their words trailed off into unintelligible mumbles as the two drifted further and further into sleep. They wrapped their legs around each other's, kissing deeply as finally the last of the pain and sadness of their argument ebbed away and they were once more content. Watching through the ajar door, a relieved Ruby slipped away, glad that the drama had resolved itself so soon. There wouldn't be any relationship drama at breakfast like she had feared after all.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
