❝ ron was a boy crush, but archie? archie was love. ❞ there was no denying that carl had a crush on ron when he’d been alive, but the younger twin son of shane walsh was the first person carl had ever been in love with. things may have been different now, had archie not died to negan’s bat. carl was eighteen, old enough to be with someone like archie now. they’d agreed they would wait for carl to come of age, and just days after the agreement, archie lost his life. carl hasn’t been the same since, though he’s found other love. yes, he adores lucas and would die for him, but there’s never going to be another archie in the world. the fact he’d survived as long as he had was a miracle. with charlie defected to the saviors as a weird way of mourning, carl had no one for three years. until he’d met lucas. that boy was the first person to make him feel anything in years, the first person to make carlton richard grimes feel anything but hate or self-loathing. ❝ and so are you, lucas. you’re love, true love. ❞
