Carl Grimes X FTM! Reader
Summary: Carl assists you with your monthly testosterone shot
Warning: needles, dysphoria, injections
Pronouns: he/him/they/them
When the apocalypse broke out, the first thing you did was rummage through the closest pharmacy for testosterone. Eager for release and freedom to be youā¦and to not pay for it.
The best form of testosterone to decrease your dysphoria and instant results in over a month. But, shots and needles were the devil for you. You didnāt mind when a doctor would do it if you looked away from the liquid injected into you, but you now have to take these shots yourself.
You got scared and decided to wait to take these shots for a later time when you were ready.
Years pass, and you find yourself in Alexandria. Even better, you had a boyfriend who loved you for who you were, Carl Grimes.
He didnāt care if you were trans or not. He fell for you, and thatās all that mattered to him as he himself didnāt label his sexuality.
You guys were happy, and he would ensure you didnāt overbind while out on runs, scavenging, and just sitting at home doing nothing. He cared about your health and overall you. As you grew to love and trust Carl every day that passed, you decided it was time.
āHey, Carl?ā You knocked on the door to his room, which was already open. He was on his bed reading comic books with his hat on the bedside table. āHey! You okay? You know you donāt gotta knock on my door, Y/N. Youāre always invited.ā He winked, which always made you laugh as he only had one eye, but you could tell he was by the little smirk and head tilt he did.
āYeah, Iām fine. I justā¦I need a favor.ā You put your hands in your jeans pockets, looking anywhere but at Carl. He could sense your anxious body language. He got up from his bed, walked towards you, took your hands out of your pocket, and held them. āAnything, Y/N. Iām always here.ā He kissed your hand and smiled, making your anxiety decrease. God, that smile always did the trick.
āSo, years ago, I found some testosterone injections, but I never got to it because I wasnāt quite ready, and I alsoā¦donāt know how to do it.ā You bite your inner cheek as you look at him, but his demeanor doesnāt change. Still the same smile.
āSo, you need my help with the shots?ā He replied. You look at him and nod. āYeah, if thatās okay-ā
He cuts you off āItās more than okay! Iād love to. Luckily, Denise taught me to take injections when my shot eye pain was too much. I got this, Y/Nā He smiled warmly as he pecked your cheek. āC,mon, letās go to the bathroom and get you prepped.ā
Carl took your hand and walked you to the bathroom in his home. He patted the countertop near the sink. āHop on!ā You chuckled and rolled your eyes as you sat on the counter, and your feet dangled. You watched as he took the needed medication out of your backpack, taking the petite vile and putting the syringe in it. Your body shakes as you see the liquid get sucked into the syringe. You were excited but also nervous.
āHey, donāt worry. I got this, and Iāll be here every step of the way, okay? Every voice crack, hair you grow, and even the random aggression of a 12-year-old boy.ā Carl chuckles, which makes you laugh along with him. āEven the acne?ā
Carl laughs and nods. āEspecially the acne. You ready?ā He says he has the syringe ready and taps to avoid air bubbles. He held your thigh as he cleaned it with rubbing alcohol. You nodded and took a deep breath. āReady.ā
With that, Carl took a good pinch of your thigh and slowly put the needle into your thigh, making you wince a bit, but the pain quickly subsided. He slowly injected the medication at a slow pace. āYouāre doing great, hun. Almost done..ā he praised as he continued.
āAndā¦done!ā A few seconds later, he slowly pulled the needle out. You took a breath out as you looked down where he injected it. I smiled as I painted out in relief.
āYouāre officially one day on testosterone. Iām so proud of you, Y/N!ā Carl smiled, which made you smile. Carl hugged you tightly as you hugged him back, still sitting on the counter. āThanks, Carl! I really appreciated that. Who knew youād be the best person to give shots?ā
Carl chuckled as he pulled back from the hug and held your face. āThen I guess thatāll make me your monthly testosterone boyfriend?ā You chuckle, blushing. āYou donāt gotta-ā
āOh, but I want to! As I said, I wanna be there for my boyfriend as he faces these changes. Also, I understand the changes of boy puberty. So, I gotcha.ā He kisses you gently as you kiss back.
You break the kiss to look at him, and then Carl pulls you closer. āNuh-uh, Iām not done,ā he starts to pepper kiss your face from your forehead to your cheek to your jaw. Your laughter fills the bathroom as you enjoy Carls's small but beautiful affection.
