Clementine stared at Luke, her incising golden yellow eyes where as bright as the sun, they filled with tears, one by one tears began to stream from eyes, cascading down her cheeks, and fell onto her arms. Luke stared into her eyes, and she stared into his, not saying anything, or moving her body. The only thing she did was blink., and occasionally make whimpering sounds. Luke didn't know what to do, he wasn't sure if she was shocked, or if he triggered some sort of painful memory. "Clementine... are you alright?" Luke asked in a concerned way. The look on his face changed drastically, she tried to speak but she couldn't. Just then there was a firm knock on the door.
"Luke? Clementine? can I come in?" Nick asked from behind the closed door. Luke looked at Clementine, and before he could speak she rolled off of him holding onto to one of his pillows crying into it. Luke sighed and placed his hand on her back
"uh Nick, I don't think this is the right time for you to be coming in." Luke shouted
"woa are you two doin the dirty?" Nick asked, and Luke's eyebrow arched into the air.
"wha.. Nick? no! Clementine she... she just needs some time, shes having a moment, so what ever you need to say.. can it wait until she's ready for people to come in?" Luke asked, looking down at Clementine and back to the door.
"what do you mean having a moment?.. Luke we need to know if you, and Clementine are coming downstairs for dinner." Nick impatiently said.
"i'll come get it." Luke replied, and back Looked down to Clementine rolling her over onto her back, she had hugged the pillow so it covered her face. Luke sadly placed the ring on the dresser and got out of bed. "i'll be back.." Luke mumbled, disappointed and got out of bed leaving the room.
Luke's pov
"you alright?" Nick asked as Luke left the room closing the door, he knew Luke better than anyone, he could read him like a book. If there was something wrong, all Luke had to do was make a certain face, sigh, or speak a certain way, and Nick would know. Luke said nothing, and hurried down the staircase to the bottom floor where everyone sat in the living room, snacks and drinks where all spread across the table. everyone looked at Luke and Nick.
"where's Clementine?" Sarah asked, as she cracked open a can of Pepsi. Luke looked at Sarah, and everyone else who stared at him, noticing he didn't seem like his usual self. Luke sauntered over to the table, and took a seat beside Rebecca who had her hand rested on her stomach, and Sarah who had the can of pepsi to her mouth.
"she's still upstairs, I proposed to her, and she started crying, she didn't say anything she just stared at me, and now she's in the bed crying hugging a pillow... Kenny.. you where with Clementine before any of us, did she ever say anything about wanting to get married?" Luke asked Kenny. Kenny turned up his can of pepsi up taking a drink, and glanced over at Luke.
"what? marriage are you crazy?" Kenny asked, however Sarita glared at him Clearing her throat, and he sighed deciding to answer Luke's question "clementine never mentioned anything about wanting to get married.. there was a time we where traveling, and went supply looking in a town, she saw a bridal shop, and said something about the dresses looking... nice, and mentioned something about her parents, but that's it." Kenny responded grumpily.
"I think you should go back up there, and console her, you don't have to sit here with us Luke." Rebecca said to Luke, and Luke nodded grabbing a few of the things on the table making his way upstairs trying to figure out what might have been wrong with her.
"maybe I should have never stopped kissing her, I should have just kept doing what I was doing.. maybe I did something wrong... god im so stupid." Luke Mumbled on his way back to the room, and took a deep breath once he made it to the closed door, he placed the food all in one arm, and used his free had placing it on the door knob turning it to the side, and pushed the door open entering the room. Clementine was standing by the window which was open half way. "Clem.. I brought some stuff to eat." Luke softly said, not wanting to scare her or anything. Clementine nodded her head once as if she where saying okay, and stayed at the window looking out at the moon. After placing the food onto the bed, Luke walked over to the window where Clementine stood. He wrapped his arms around her waist, avoiding the area where her bruise was, and held her close to him. She placed her arms over his, and rest the back of her head against his chest.
"I'm... sorry." Clementine softly said, as she continued to stare out into the distance. "I didn't mean to break down in front of you like that."
"you don't have to apologize clementine, what I want to know is why you did it?" Luke asked.
"my mom Diana, and I always used to love to watch those cheesy wedding shows together, before the apocalypse. Mom asked me if she could be the one to help me with my wedding... if I ever got married, and when the apocalypse started I thought falling in love, getting married, and having kids wasn't going to happen. I figured I wasn't gong to survive this long. I didn't know how to defend myself, or even shoot a gun, and when I was in my tree house hiding. id always sleep with something sharp, just incase the walker somehow managed to climb up to me. I thought about ending my own life many times, I never thought Lee was going to come along and save my life, teach me how to defend myself, how to shoot a gun, and how to survive, and I never though I would ever fall in love." Clementine paused and took a deep breath, slowly releasing it. she turned her head to Look at Luke, there was a brief silence in the room before Clementine spoke again. "yes Luke." she said with a soft smile.
"yes?" he repeated, turning his head slightly to the right.
"yes I will marry you." she responded, opening Luke's hand to place the ring into it that she got from the dresser. Luke put the ring on her, and the door to the room opened. Nick and Kenny fell to the ground while everyone was around them. as if there where all standing by the door listening.
"w...we weren't listening or anything like that!" everyone said, and both Luke, and clementine laughed, and smiled shaking their head at the group. Luke slid the ring on Clementine's finger, and the two of them kissed. The memebers of the group all clapped, cheered, and congratulated them, and once that was done, they all went walked downstairs leaving the two standing there with the door wide open.
"come on Clementine lets join them." Luke said to her and took her hand in his walking toward the door. Clementine didn't move causing Luke to stop. "whats wrong?" he asked as he turned around to look into the woman's golden eyes. Something about her face seemed different, she no longer looked sad, instead she looked like she needed him for something. Her lips curved into a sweet seductive smile. and she walked up to him placing her hand on his shoulder, and pressed down sho he would move to the side, once his ear was close enough for her to speak in she smiled.
"we could go with them, or we could stay here, together, all alone, and do kissing stuff." Clementine whispered softly, and for the first time, in a long time, Luke's entire face wen't beat red.
"sounds like a plan." He said, excitedly, and walked over to the door closing it clicking the lock. everything he needed for their special moment was still in the room. Clementine hurried over to him and Jumped onto him wrapping her legs around his waist, and her arms around her neck kissing him.
