Breathed Life Into Me - Carl x Negan Short
“I knew the whole time.”
Negan looked over at Rick through the bars, blinking a couple of times. “Oh, you did?” he said in a disbelieving tone.
Rick sighed, leaning back against the wall. “Yes, believe it or not, I did.” To Negan’s surprise, Rick didn’t seem at all upset. Maybe there was even a little humor in the way he said it.
“Well, why the fuck shit did you wait this long to say anything to me, Prick?” He grinned up at him from his spot sitting against the wall.
Rick looked up at the ceiling with an almost-amused expression. “Why the fuck shit would I have said anything?”
Negan shrugged, “I dunno. You couldn’t seem to keep your mouth shut around me to save your life back in the day. I woulda thought, if you knew, you’d be threatening to kill me all over again. Shit, maybe you woulda even tried to off me right then!”
Then they were both laughing. Actually laughing.
He looked over and met Rick’s eyes.
Shit. He had a hard time looking into those eyes.
Negan opened his mouth to make a quip, but his lip shook and he quickly turned towards the stone wall.
“You loved him.” Rick’s voice cut into his thoughts after a beat of silence. “I can tell.”
Negan stayed silent. He knew if he spoke he would sound pathetic. Which he definitely did not want in front of Rick the Dick. Even if he is the boy’s father.
“He changed you.”
Fuck, yes. Completely against his will, he might add. The little defiant shit.
“Now, I’m not happy about what you did and may have done with my son, which I want to leave the more… physical things… a mystery. But… I know you’ve never given a single shit what makes me happy.”
“I’m sorry, Rick.”
Negan turned to look at him, tears in his eyes. Rick’s face displayed complete shock. Surprisingly, his goal was not shock factor this time.
Rick was quiet, waiting for Negan to elaborate. Sorry for fucking his son? Sorry for Glenn? Abraham? Olivia? For terrorizing his people for months? For the war?
“I am positively, genuinely sorry. For the first time since… he died. Because I was sorry then, too.”
It was silent for a while until Rick nodded slightly, looking down at his lap as he saw a tear roll down Negan’s cheek. It was very… unnerving, seeing Negan like this. Weak. Broken.
“You still miss him.” Rick said softly.
“Of fucking course I do.” Negan tried to subtly wipe away a fresh tear that had fallen. “Believe it or not, Prick, that boy got to me in ways no one had in years. Even before the end of the fucking world.”
Rick really did not need to hear exactly how his son had “gotten” to Negan. Despite himself, he shot him a questioning glance.
“That day. That he rolled in with those giant fucking balls and killed two of my men. I brought him back to my room with me.”
Rick cringed.
“Now, I know what you’re thinking, you fucking pervert, but no, I did not bed your boy.”
Rick visibly relaxed.
“That time anyways.” Negan grinned, he couldn’t help himself.
Rick rolled his eyes, cringing again. “Jesus.”
“We did get to know each other though. Honestly, I tormented the shit out of him. Which, I later apologized to him for, because I treated your boy right, Rick, despite what you may think.”
Rick nodded, looking at his hands in his lap. “Well, hopefully you’re tellin’ the truth or I might have to kill you for real this time.”
Negan smiled broadly, “Uh-huh. Alright. That’s fair. But, to set things straight, my boy is the only reason I would ever let you kill me, Prick.”
Rick almost smiled at him. Almost. Before his face was overcome with profound sadness.
“That day. He made me feel actual, genuine compassion for another person for the first time since all this bullshit started. Cheesy as it fucking is, he breathed life back into my cold-ass dead-ass body.”
Rick studied him as he spoke, intrigued. He had half-thought that to Negan, it was about the imbalance of power. He had thought that maybe Negan got off on it. But this. This was the only time that Rick knew without a doubt, Negan was telling the truth.
Give it till I beg Give me some more
