this thumbnail bc this scene still makes my stomach bubble

Rick's P.O.V

I woke up at the break of dawn, Michonne on top of me.
I could feel her knee pressured against my manly parts and it was rather uncomfortable.

I gently pushed her knee off of me and rolled over...

Wait... This isn't

Damn it.

We never went home last night.

We stayed up all night by the lake, talking about personal things and making out in our silence.

And when we felt like we Couldn't walk home, we laid our jackets down and shacked up on the grass.

It's still pretty early so I bet we could sneak home before the boys notice.

"Michonne, baby, wake up." I whispered

She murmured something and rolled over, guarding herself with the jackets.

"Michonne?"

Of all things, Michonne was a heavy sleeper.

I sighed and sat her up,

"Rick what do yo-- wait, why are we outside!? She exclaimed, hopping up in a hurry.

"About last night.." I said, scratching the back of my neck awkwardly.

"Ohh.." she rubbed her arms and shivered.

I quickly picked up the jackets and handed both to her, It was rather chilly out here this morning but I'll be fine.. I just want her to be warm and happy :).

"Ready to go home?" I asked her.

She yawned and grabbed my hand, "Let's go."

As we walked down the road, hand in hand, I remembered that I hadn't seen my sweet Judy in a day.
Carol's a good woman, couldn't thank her any more for watching Judith like it's no problem.

I changed direction and went to Carol's house.

"What are we doing?" Michonne asked

"Judith."

She gasped and exhaled, whispering ohh and nodding her head.

I knocked on Carol's door and waited for a response.
I took a while but she eventually answered.

"Hey- Carol, sorry for forgetting about last night,  but here I am, to get Judith." I said, awkwardly.

She smiled and opened the door wider for us to come in, trailing off down the hall.

Michonne and I walked in and--

Daryl was asleep on the couch.

Michonne glared at me and raised an eyebrow.

I shrugged and grinned. I don't know what's going on here but I approve.

Carol returned with a sleeping Judith that Michonne happily grabbed.

"Have a good day, Carol." Michonne looked at Carol, and then at Daryl and back at Carol and smiled.

"You know I will," Carol said winking

okay.. whatever that means. They like spoke in woman telekonsis, but they were silent.

I smiled at them awkwardly and pulled Michonne with me.

"Bye." I said
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey, Michonne, dad.. Uh, could Jay and I talk to you about something?" Carl asked, standing in our doorway, nervously biting his lip.

For christ's sake, we just got home..

I sighed and nodded, "Yeah."

"Meet us in the living room." He smiled

Michonne sighed and sat on the bed, "He seems anxious." She said

"Yeah,  they probably did something bad."

"Welp, let's get it over with.. I wanna cuddle in bed with you for the rest of the morning." She said

She grabbed my arm and ran us down the stairs and into the living room.

Jay and Carl sat side by side on the long chair, leaving the single seat for Michonne and I.

She had to sit on my lap and once we were settled,  Carl threw his head back and sighed.

"So, the reason we want to talk to you is cause, uh," Carl's hands began shaking and he tapped his foot against the floor repeatedly

"There's really no easy way to say this.. I don't wanna break your heart, dad, but it's now or never. I have to tell you someday because we can't sit in silence, quiet can be violent."

Okay, so, obviously something bad happened because he didn't wanna "Break my heart".
wait they're not...?

Carl looked over at Jay and he smiled and then,

and then...

their fingers interlocked and they both held their heads down.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO  NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO  NO NO NO NO

It can't be! Carl's not gay, and even if he was he wouldn't be with Jay! That's his brother, he even said it himself. How sick!
God, I'm beyond outraged and If I could get up and storm out this damn house then I really fucking would.

"Carl, what the hell?" I yelled

Michonne had her hands over her mouth, in shock and befuddled.

"Look, I wanted to tell you for awhile I just couldn't find the words." He murmured

"Carl that's sick! You said he was your brother." I exclaimed

"Yeah? well, that was an act, okay. I knew you'd act like this so I thought we'd be closer if we pretended to be brothers--- but we're not okay! I'm in- I'm in love with Jaden and it doesn't matter if you accept us or not. I just want you to know that this doesn't change who am as a person and If you can't realize that then we'll go." Carl shouted

what? you're 16, you can't leave. he thinks he's in love, and he wants to runaway now, with Jay? he won't make it out in this world.

"Carl- Wh-  what about starting a family. You're only 16, bud, I don't think you know what you want just yet." Michonne said

I couldn't have said it better myself. Michonne was so calm and so majestic with her words.

"I do! we know what we want! just accept us guys, please, that's all, just accept us." Carl began tearing up, he was going to cry and I hated seeing him cry

But I just can't imagine how my son could live like this...
he was raise better than this. Not that I have a thing against gay people, but why? why Carl? he was going to have a great future filled with grandkids Michonne and I could call our own.

but

not

anymore.

"I cant." I said, finally.

Jay held his head up, tears running down his face.

"Come one please, please." he said, through sobs.

Michonne grabbed my chin and pulled my face to hers.

"He can and he will. We accept you two and we love you very much." she said

"No! you can't speak for me, Michonne."

She got up and gave me the death stared before sighing in walking to the boys. She gave them each a hug and turned back toward me, "If you can't accept them Rick, then we can call it quits. If they run off, I run off too."

Damn it. She knows how to get me to do what she wants.

"STOP JUST STOP!"

Jay shouted, hopping up.

"I'm sorry that I'm a burden, I'm sorry that I changed your lives, I'm sorry that we didn't end up the way you wanted us to, Rick. I'm sorry that It has come this far, I'm sorry that today is April 1st and this is just a joke, I'm sorry that I'm bad at acting, I'm sorry oka--"

"Wait, what?" I exclaimed

Carl laughed and wiped his eyes, "It's just a joke dad."

I sighed and ran my hand over my face in despair.

"what?" Michonne asked, still confounded.

"It's a joke, Carl and I planned for about a week now. We've been practicing our crying and all yo, give us some props! A real gangsta neva cries, and look, I cried just for a video." Jay explained

A video?

Jay walked over to the lamp and pulled a camcorder from near it. He ran and shoved the camcorder in Michonne's face, "HA! YOU GOT PUNK'D MICHELLE!"

Michonne ran her tongue over her teeth and grinned, "You guys know I hate you right?" she giggled

"So you guys aren't in a relationship or like-- gay?" I stammered

"Nope, it's all a joke. Thought we'd bring some fun for a day even though your reaction wasn't what we planned-- it was still priceless... so, rate our prank 1-10." Carl said

I sighed and shook my head, "It was a 10. you guys did a good job." I admitted

they really did, their acting was so perfect I actually believed it.

Jay came over and shoved the camera in my face, "Now, tell us who pranked ya, papa Grimes."

I chuckled and stared directly into the camera's lenses, "I just got pranked by Carl Grimes and Jaden Thomas. Happy April fools day."
