That was when Rick came to you to ask about your life story, you told him about how you'd been with your parents at the start and how they had offed themselves etc. Of course you didn't mention that Negan had been your bestfriend before this just in case it wasn't him who you had been hearing about but from what they had been saying about it him, it sure sounded like him just without his sweet and caring side that he used to have. Maybe he had just hidden it because he needed to toughen up, you never knew but you knew that you were excited to see him again if it was him.
The first time that you got stopped, you recognised the front man as Simon. He had been yours and Negan's bestfriend back then, he was still sporting that moustache as well that he always had. Negan and I always teased him about it saying it looked like he had a rat on his face but he didn't look the same without it because he had shaved it off at one point and we could barely recognise him. You got out of the RV to face him and when he saw you, his eyes widened slightly and started to grin. Seeing that he was about to say something about you, you held a finger to your mouth and winked. Nodding as though he understood that you wanted to surprise not only your group but Negan as well, he went on with the bullshit speech he had obviously made. You rolled your eyes when he finished and he winked at you as you got back into the RV.
When it became night time and you had to walk through the woods, thats when you knew that this was all a trap for you all and you did get slightly frightened but you knew that you wouldn't be hurt in the process of all this. It was when you heard the whistling that you knew that they had finally gotten fed up of giving us all false hope, you had come into a clearing where lights had turned on and lit up the area giving us a spotlight. Looking around, you were surrounded and you knew that you wouldn't be able to fight your way out not that you wanted to but Rick obviously did and seeing his face, you knew that he knew that he wouldn't be able to fight. He looked terrified and so did everyone else except for you but you hid your face well.
When Simon forced all of us onto our knees, he made sure that I was right in the middle so Negan would immediately see me. You slightly grinned at him and he winked back but he immediately went back to being serious and said loudly,
"It's time to meet the man!" While knocking on the RV you had previously been in. And there he was, Negan in all his glory and damn did he look good. He didn't look much different from when the world was normal, he had a bit more grey in his beard but other than that, nothing about him had changed. Seeing his old baseball bat gave you a wave of nostalgia as well considering you had use to watch him play baseball with it, it was his lucky bat. And it nearly made you laugh that he used it as his lucky weapon now instead. You decided to put your head down so he didn't see you, you wanted to hear what he had to say first.
"We pissin' our pants yet?" He grinned while leaning back slightly and walked forward while looking very smug with the baseball bat over his shoulder which you now noticed it had barbed wire wrapped around it.
"Boyy, do I have a feeling we're getting close." He was talking quite slowly and was obviously surveying our group silently while doing it, he walked to the end of the line where Eugene was knelt and started walking slowly down the line while saying,
"Gonna be pee-pee pants city here reeal soon." He finished with a smile and stopped in front of Michonne while looking around and motioning with his hand in a semi-circle while saying and licking his lips slightly - you could see him getting slightly more pissed off the more he spoke,
"Which one of you pricks is the leader?" Simon pointed Rick out to Negan and so he turned around and wandered slowly in front of Rick while smirking not even noticing that you had kept your head down this entire time.
"Hi, you're Rick right? I'm Negan and I do not appreciate you killing my men, also when I sent my people to kill your people for killing my people. You. killed more of my people." He was saying this quite quietly and that was when you knew he was pissed, he either got loud when angry or quiet. Neither were good, the quiet angry however was worse so that scared you a little bit. He carried on,
"Not cool, not fucking cool, you have no fucking idea how not fucking cool that shit is. But I think you're going to be up to speed here shortly." You nearly snorted at how much he swore, it was just like him. He had the mouth of a sailor, he always has had one - it was another reason your parents hated him, he couldn't control it around them either. While you had been thinking, he had been babbling on about how we worked for him now and all that other shit which you rolled your eyes at because goddamn, he thought he was a king now and had an ego the size of America.
It was only when he said the name of the bat was when you were really shocked because that had been the name of his wife before all this shit, it made you really upset to know that she was not living anymore because he would not have called it that otherwise. You knew why he named the bat after her, it was because when she got angry - she was scary like that bat is now. She was fiesty but kind and that was what probably drew Negan to her because he wasn't as kind as she was and she mellowed him out so to know that he's like this because of her death and probably because he thought you were dead made you devastated and you had a tear in your eye but it went away after a few seconds. When he finished and walked down the line trying to decide to kill, he said,
"Well, there's been one of you with her head down this whole time, don't think I didn't fucking notice you dollface. So chin up sweetheart, let me see you." You saw his feet stand in front of you, you smirked slightly and replied,
"And what will you do if I don't?" You said in a slightly cheeky tone, he stopped for a second and pointed the bat at your face,
"See, now you have to fucking put your head up because I would recognise that voice anywhere."
"Say my name then if you know who I am." You said smugly while whistling a tune that you, him and Simon use to whistle all the time. It used to drive Lucille insane,
"(Y/F/N) goddamn motherfucking (Y/L/N)." He replied to you, you could hear the grin in his voice so you looked up,
"Well my names, (Y/F/N) (Y/L/N), not whatever the fuck you said." You grinned looking at him,
"Hi Negan, how you been?" You finished cheekily, he laughed and looked to Simon,
"Did you know about this?" Simon nodded and chuckled slightly, Negan helped you up and said,
"I am taking you back with me dollface, we have a lot of fucking catching up to do!" He laughed again obviously in disbelief and continued,
"But I do have to finish, I really can't let them off lightly, they killed a lot of my people." You nodded solemnly and replied,
"Just go easy on them when taking shit, they did take me in after all. Now have you still got your baby?" Your eyes lit up at the mention of his truck that you absolutely adore, he nodded and pointed to it while grinning,
"Of course I do, I'd never get rid of her, now jump in and i'll see you soon." You nodded and kissed his cheek before heading over to the truck and jumped in, while hearing,
"Hot diggity damn Rick, you had my old bestfriend with you this whole time. Now that had to be a kick in the teeth." He laughed and you chuckled while listening and just sat there content that you had been reunited with your old childhood bestfriend.
