Clementine X Male Reader What If: If Lee and Kenny survived all seasons

Chapter 107: Nightmare

Y/N's POV

It's been two weeks. We've been preparing for the raiders to come attack us. Me, Clem, and AJ were sleeping. But I wake up due to Clem who was sweating and shaking. She was having a nightmare.

Y/N: Clem?

I start shaking her.

Y/N: Clem, Wake up!

After shaking her for a bit, she finally jerks up and starts panting. I pull her into a hug. AJ wakes up.

Y/N: Hey, hey, It's okay, It's okay.

Clementine: I'm sorry. It's just an nightmare.

Y/N: It's fine.

We see AJ on top of our dresser.

Y/N: Why're you up?

AJ: Clem was having an nightmare.

I see AJ holding a knife.

Clementine: Did you have a bad dream as well? You've been having them too.

AJ: I feel safer like this. Not sleeping. I wanna stay up forever. I think I could. If I tried hard.

Clementine: We're safe here, AJ.

AJ: Doesn't feel like it.

Clementine: Let's get you back to bed.

AJ: No. You guys don't have to keep checking on me. You always say, be tough. So I am. Be strong. And I will. And brave, all the time.

Y/N: You're the toughest boy we know. The toughest boy in the whole world.

AJ: Not as tough like you guys.

Clementine: Well, No one is as tough as us.

AJ: I'm sorry you guys have to do all of the hard work. To atone me. I'm gonna help more.

AJ gets off the dresser and starts walking.

Y/N: Where are you going?

AJ: On patrol.

Clementine: Patrol?

AJ: For danger. Bad people. Monsters. And nightmares.

Y/N: How about you stay here? I can make sure no more nightmares come.

AJ: You can't do that. You're not magic.

Clementine: What if I am?

AJ starts to laugh. I laugh too.

AJ: Can I... maybe sleep in your bed? Like when I was little?

Y/N: Of course you can.

AJ: I'm not scared. Just tired.

AJ gets in the middle of me and Clem on the bed.

Clementine: AJ?

AJ: What?

Clementine: You're still little.

AJ: Yeah, I know.

Y/N: It's not a bad thing, Clem is still a little short.

AJ lets out a small giggle as Clem reaches over AJ and playfully punches me in the arm. We all drift off to sleep.
