Clementine and Male Reader: Betrayal

Chapter 44

A lump forms in his throat.

Clem: "Y/N, are you okay?"

Y/N: "Y-Yeah I'm fine. It's just..uh..."

"Come on, get it together." He says to himself.

He takes her hand and looks her in the eyes.

Y/N: "Look, you know I love you, right?"

Clem: "Yeah?"

Y/N: "So, um...we've known each other for a long time now, and I've always liked-loved you. I realized how much you mean to me and how much I don't want to apart from you."

She smiles and he continues.

Y/N: "I love you, Clem. I want to live the rest of my life with you and have a family, and do other shit that couples used to do before this."

He gets down on one knee and pulls out the ring. Clementine's smile instantly turns into a face of shock.

Y/N: "You mean so much to me and I don't want to spend another second of my life without you. So, Clementine. Will you marry me?"

She looks back and forward at the ring and Y/N.

Y/N: "Will you?"

Clem: "Y/N..I-I.."

Y/N: "Clem?"

Clem: "I-I'm sorry, Y/N."

Y/N stands up in front of Clementine.

Y/N: "What's wrong, Clem?"

Clem: "Y/N, I don't know about this."

Y/N: "Why not?"

Clem: "We just beat Delta, we have a lot of work to do, and this is a big commitment to make."

Y/N: "Well, you killed Lily, right?"

Clem: "...y-yeah."

Y/N: "You love me, right?"

Clem: "Yeah."

Y/N: "Then this shouldn't be a problem."

Clem: "Y/N, you know it's not that easy. And this "family" thing, I think it's too soon."

Y/N: "You're telling me you don't want to start a family?"

Clem: "..no, Y/N."

Y/N's heart shatters.

Y/N: "W-What? W-Why not?"

Clem: "There's too much going in the world. I think a kid would be too much...it would drag us down. To be honest, I'm not even sure if I want to have kids."

Y/N looks down with tears slowly forming in his eyes.

Clem: "Y/N?"

Y/N looks up.

Clem: "You remember what we did, a couple of weeks ago?"

Y/N nods his head.

Clem: "I think I'm..."

Y/N's heart drops and his eyes widen.

Y/N: "Are you sure?"

Clem: "I've been feeling sick lately, I also missed my..um..period."

Y/N looks down at his feet in shock.

Y/N: "B-But you said-"

Clem: "I know, Y/N. That's why I want to tell you this right now."

Y/N looks her in the eyes.

Clem: "If it is true, I don't want to keep it."

Y/N: "What?"
