UNCLE JAVI

IT WAS AN IMMEDIATE REACTION. JAVIER’S EYES DARTED over to his nephew, eyebrows raised as if waiting for the boy to immediately start talking. The corners of his lips had already started to tug upwards, something that was only natural whenever his nephew was in the room. They’d gone through Hell together, and that was just about the understatement of the century. Gabe was a fighter, though, and had even taught him a few things along the way.

The man’s voice was light, about as carefree as it could get with the sounds of walkers always in the distance.   ❝ What’s up, buddy? ❞   he asked, unable to resist the urge of reaching up to mess with the kid’s beanie. His hand didn’t have to reach down as much as it used to.                   ❝ You’re gonna have to stop growin’ so damn much, or I’m gonna have to find a pair of stilts on the next supply run. ❞

@taughteuchre​​ asked: leaves ace of hearts in her jacket pocket to find.

             ⸺ 𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐍𝐎 𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐀 𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐃 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐁𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄. she only found it after she was long, long gone. when she did find it, however, she was careful to keep it with her at all times. for some reason she just KNEW what it meant, and didn’t want to lose it. she would bring aj back eventually. she would introduce him to gabe and javi and everything would be alright.

            ❝ but first... i need to find him. ❞

@taughteuchre asked: [ lean ]

meme // no longer accepting

your muse inviting mine to lean into their side while they’re sitting or laying together.

           he didn’t really need to say anything. even though they spent so much time apart, she felt like she still knew him just as she did before. just from the way he hugged her shoulder, she knew she could LEAN on him, rest just for a bit, and that’s what she did. she still wasn’t used to the fact he got considerably taller than her. she felt so at peace with him. it was a MIRACLE that they were both alive and met again, just like when she reunited with kenny back then. 

          ❝ i hate this. ❞ she said, softly.  ❝ i hate it because you have to leave eventually, don’t you? go back to richmond. ❞

         ❝me too, gabe.❞ he really did change EVERYTHING. she didn’t think he would or that it was even possible, but clementine couldn’t remember the last time she smiled so much, let alone LAUGHED the way she did like when she was with him and he was making his jokes or trying to teach her to play his fake card game. ❝it doesn’t matter where we go from here. i’ll never forget you.❞ she would take him with her wherever she went --- like all the other people that went away.

@taughteuchre liked for a starter.

“If you want- I can give you some advice on talking to girls.” She wasn’t a very subtle person, really. And Auren knew Gabe long enough to realize something was in the air. Love, it’s love.

“I mean- I don’t mean to brag but I’ve talked to girls before. And it’s easier than you think.” She can’t help but giggle, sinking down further into the cushioned chair. Playing matchmaker was one of her favorite things, and she didn’t do it nearly enough these days.

“Most people think because the world’s ended that there’s no time for romance, but that’s just the pessimist in all of us trying to dictate our lives. You gotta find time to live while you survive, y’know?”

‘ i’m sorry if i wasn’t the child you had in mind ’

poetry  ──  a.

before ── before they were all thrown into a world of shit, javier was never much of an individual who stuck around for people to indulge in venting. his presence was nonexistent, he was nothing but a name spoken over dinner tables and someone who was simply known from rare visits and a phone call back home. he regrets that now that he can ponder over his shitty behavior in the past.

he likes to think he’s changed, right ? the family he had left ── gone was papa and mama, gone was mariana. such thoughts, it makes his head hurt and heart clench with something strong.  ❛ gabe ── ❜  a brief shut of his eyes, an action to calm himself and choose his words carefully.

never had he once thought that he might’ve alluded something like that to the boy. something that would make him feel less than, useless and unneeded. tired gaze switches to lock onto him, staring into a face written with unfathomable dislike. can’t blame the kid for being upset and having a temper ── he would too if he was stuck in a life like this.

❛ you’re everything i wanted you to be and more. ❜  he’s not sure if he were in gabriel’s shoes if he would even have the guts to do the things he’s had to do, stomach the things he’s seen.  ❛ you’re brave, probably even braver than me. better than me ── i’m thankful you’re around. i don’t know what i’d do without you. ❜
