The Walking Dead - written for Drabble Weekly

Title: Waiting for revenge
Characters: Maggie Greene
Wordcount: 200
Challenge: There's always tomorrow
Finished: February 2018

:::

Maggie felt so tired but was too afraid to close her eyes. She knew the nightmares would come.

All day long, she tried to be strong. She didn't want any pity or consideration. Because she knew well enough that she would break down when she allowed herself even the tiniest bit of weakness.

There's always a tomorrow, Glen had told her so often when all she wanted was to curl up and die. Then he held her in his arms for hours, whispering soft words. Until she finally started to hope again.

But Glen was gone. He would never hold her again. She would never hear him laughing again; they would never make love again.

The Walkers were an always present danger in their lives, and Maggi had often secretly worried about Glen. He could be so daring sometimes. But how unfair was it that he finally died at the hands of another guy? The most absurd dead she could imagine, and every night anew, she lived through it, again and again.

Only the burning hate inside her made her move on. There was always a tomorrow. And if not today, maybe tomorrow she would get the chance for her revenge.

Blindspot - Written for Drabble Zone

Title: Comfort
Characters: Patterson, Jane Doe
Words: 100
Rating: PG13
Challenge: Alone
Finished: May 2017

:::

Patterson noticed the sadness in Jane's eyes and didn't need to ask for the reason. Again the young woman had hoped to find out more about her past; again the answer to the riddle just had raised even more questions. So hard to imagine how alone she had felt since the day she had been found at Times Square, without memories, naked, covered with strange tattoos.

Later, Patterson couldn't say what had gotten into her, but at this moment, it felt like the only thing she could do to offer at least some comfort. She bent forward and kissed her.

Blindspot - Written for Drabble Zone

Title: Peace of mind
Characters: Agent Patterson, mention of Jane Doe
Rating: PG
Words: 200
Challenge: Peace of mind
Finished: May 2017

:::

When the team left the laboratory in a hurry, Agent Patterson leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes. Only some minutes of rest before she would go back to her task.

The last tattoo she had decrypted only one hour ago. A spread eagle, a moon, and some hieroglyphs whose meaning had been a pretty nice challenge. Finding the solution had cost her almost two days without much sleep.

It's not the first time that this happened. Since Jane had appeared from close to scratch, without any memory of her past, every part of her body covered with mysterious tattoos, she didn't get much sleep anymore. From the very first moment, she felt attracted to the young woman. Despite her strange situation being so strong, she moved on without complaining. Wildly resolved to find out the truth, no matter the consequences.

Only sometimes, the shell she had built up around her got some cracks, and uneasiness and sadness were sparkling in her eyes.

Then Carol wished she could give her back her peace of mind to make her smile again. But all she could do was to do her job as best as possible.

Character: Zeke Tyler, Casey Connor
Word Count: 200
Prompt: same old story
Finished: 15.02.2023

Note: slightly AU because I guess the boys are already going to college in this story

:::

He felt like an idiot. Annoyed about himself, Zeke stared at the message on his cellphone. Of course, they wouldn't come home. It was always the same old story. They made promises, and they reneged them. What did they care that it was his 21st birthday? They had never cared about any birthday, neither about holidays or his graduation from highschool.

So, why did it still hurt? Why did he still hope that one day things would change? That his parents finally would show him at least some love?

He looked up when footsteps came closer. Casey Connor, cute boy, but a tiny bit too geeky. No one he wanted to hang around with. On the other hand... „Hey, Connor. Any plans for the weekend?“

„Me?!“ The boy looked surprised. „Dunno. Maybe a short trip to Akron. The photo exhibition at the Art Museum sounds very interesting. Modern...“

„Or,“ Zeke interrupted him, „you do some clubbing tonight. There is this new nightclub in Columbus, the LUX. Ever checked it out?“

„No!“ Casey laughed, slightly embarrassed. „I guess I'm not a guy for clubbing.“

Zeke couldn't hide his grin. „Then it's about time to change your mind.“

Finished: 03.02.2023

:::

Street stuffed the last clothes into his backpack when Chris entered the locker room. „Hey,“ she murmured.

He turned around with wild sparkling eyes. „Thank you for stabbing me in the back!“

She swallowed; the last she had wanted was to bring him into trouble; to be honest, she liked Street, even though he sometimes acted like a highschool student, not like a team member of the S.W.A.T. But this time... „Hondo asked me.“

„And, of course, you had to tell him the truth.“

„He is my boss. He is our boss. Why did you lie to him?“

„Because I don't need a babysitter. He would only have told me that my mom is only using me again. But this is non of his business.“

Chris kept quiet for a moment. „Maybe it's about time to grow up. This is not the police academy anymore; it's about surviving the everyday madness on the roads of Los Angeles.

Everything you do is Hondo's business because he's responsible for the team. We have to rely on each other at any time. Someone constantly overstepping the lines might bring us into danger one day.“

She paused, sighing slightly. „I'm sorry!“

Character: Casey Connor, mention of Zeke Tyler
Word Count: 200
Prompt: always / things change
Finished: 22.01.2023

:::

Casey stared into the darkness; he couldn't stop thinking about how much his life would change soon enough.

No highschool anymore, no bullying in the morning, no hunting for the best photos for the school's magazine anymore. No Mr. Miller, who always knew to encourage him not to give up his future plans, no matter how many stones were lying on the way.

No Zeke anymore. Not sharing a lab-table with him or the bleachers at lunchbreak. He wouldn't even meet him by chance at the comic shop or in the park; no 'Hello, geek boy,' “ anymore, no smile which always made his heart beat wilder. Because Zeke would stay back here in Herrington to work at his uncles' garage while he, Casey, would move to New York soon.

He sighed, fighting the tears burning in his eyes back. Photoschool. He needed to remember that this was what he had always dreamed about. Finally, being free, a geek between other geeks, not the outsider anymore everyone laughed about. A new, exciting life.

But he knew a part of his heart would always stay here, with Zeke, the rebel with the most beautiful hazelnut brown eyes he had ever seen.

Just when Kurdy wanted to step forward, a voice held him back. „Get behind me!“

He stiffened with every movement. Not this freak again, who followed him for some days already and always showed up in the worst moment. „Smith? What the hell are you doing here?“

The little guy stepped out of the shadows of the trees and shrugged. „Saving your life, I guess. Again!“

„What kind of bullshit is this? I've told you, I don't need a fucking guardian.“

A loud bang broke the silence, and Kurdy found himself lying on the ground, Smith cowering over him.

„What are you still doing here,“ Kurdy asked, looking around the shabby hut. „Markus has offered you a room at the Mountain.“

Smith grabbed for the old kettle, pouring hot water into two mugs on the wooden table. „I was living on the roads for years. This hut feels like home; I don't need much comfort.“

„You can't spend the winter in the woods. The weather will get worse soon, the temperatures fall under 20 degrees at night.“

Smith smiled. „Thank you, Kurdy, but don't worry. God has an eye on me, and whatever he wants will happen.“

„Okay, spit it; what's wrong with you today?“

Zeke avoided eye contact. „You should better go now. And never come back.“

„Oh.“ Heat was rushing through Casey's body. This hit him out of the blue. Yesterday, at school, everything had looked okay; Zeke had ignored him as ever, but there had been this fleetingly touch of their hands at chemistry. „See you tomorrow,“ he had murmured, with this hidden smile on his lips before he got into his GTO.

Casey licked his dry lips. No drama. Everything but a drama. He had always known that this day would come, and he wouldn't break down now. Maybe later. At home. „I get it!“

Finally, Zeke looked up, and it was almost a shock to notice tears in his eyes. „No, you don't.“

„Okay. Will you enlighten me?“

Zeke's hand was shaking when he put his beer back on the table. „We can't do this any longer. You sneak too much under my skin.“

„What?“

„Last night, I dreamed about you. I cried out into the world that... that I love you.“

Casey winced. „Holy shit!“

Zeke smirked. „Yeah! That was never part of the plan, right?“

„The chance to destroy the whole world? When he grows up, getting aware of his power, it might be too late to stop him.“

„Or maybe he can fight his demonic side, and the angels win. Then he might be the one who will save the world from the downfall one day.“

„What's this? I've told you not to buy me a gift. It always makes me feel so uncomfortable.“

„Oh, c'mon! It's your 18th birthday; I guess that's an excellent reason for overstepping the lines a bit.“

„You can invite me to Annie's.“

„You are such a geek. You want to celebrate at a milkbar?“

„Annie makes the most delicious blueberry muffins. So, yes!“

„I love you!“

„You... WHAT???“

„You've heard me. Don't know how this could happen, but you sneaked into my heart before I even noticed it.
And now open this fucking thing.“

„If you... if you buy me a ring, I'm gonna kill you.“

„One ring to rule them all, one ring to bind them... no, thanks. I love my freedom, too. Go ahead, open it.“

„Oh. It's a key.“

„The key to my garage. My refuge. The only place I feel at home. Where I don't need to hide who I am.

„You coming,“ Zeke asked impatiently. Spending a warm spring afternoon at the library was so not to his taste. But, of course, Casey had insisted that good research was the basis for every school paper.

„One moment. It looks like it might rain later; I need to grab my umbrella.“

„You own an umbrella?“

Defiantly Casey shrugged. „Yes. I've learned my lesson since I got drenched to the bones one day and ended in bed with a fever for a whole weekend.“

Zeke couldn't hide his grin. „Lemme guess. It's a geeky one, red with white spots?“

„Why do you always need to prove that you are an asshole?“

Casey looked so hurt that Zeke instantly regretted his joke. „Sorry, I didn't mean it that way.“

„So? And what did you mean?“

„That you would look kinda cute with a ladybug umbrella,“ Zeke answered without thinking about his words. Only when he noticed Casey blushing, he cringed inwardly. Cute? Casey Conner? Where the hell did this idea come from? „Okay, guess we need to hurry up; the library will close in two hours,“ he said hastily, turning to his GTO to hide his confusion.

„Any plans for tonight,“ Zeke asked.

Casey shrugged. „Staying at home, I guess, as ever. Maybe I will help my dad in the garden, and later we'll put some burgers on the grill.“

„Woah, sounds very interesting.“

„Pfft. Not everyone can be a big party king.“

„Hey, calm down.“ Zeke laughed. „I'm just wondering if you would be interested in hanging out a bit. I know a drive-in cinema which shows classics every Friday night. Clockwork Orange. Crazy shit. Ever watched it?“

Casey blinked dumbfounded. „You and me? Going to a movie?“

„Why not? Anything wrong with it?“

„No, of course not. It's just... I am not one of the cool guys.“

Zeke smirked. „Believe me, hanging around with the cool guys gets boring very quickly."

„You don't try to fool me, do you?“

„I would never dare to do that.“ Zeke winked at him. „So, is this a yes? I could come around at 7 o'clock, and we make a short stop at Joe's for some snacks. Just in case we decide to stay for the second movie, too.“

A wide grin showed up on Casey's face. „Okay. This sounds great!“

Ephraim leaned back on the worn-out couch, closing his eyes. Trying to ignore the noisiness around him.

Another day, spent in darkness, another fight with too many losses. For what were they actually still fighting for? The vampires had already killed or enslaved too many of the menkind; penned them up in ghettos, using the men as food and the women as birthing machines.

Eff felt tired. Ready to give up. But there still was this spark of hope that his beloved son, the amenable follower of the master, could be saved. For him, he would fight up to the end.

„You could stay overnight,“ Zeke suggested, letting his fingers wander over Casey's back.

The boy shuddered but sat up anyway. „Curfew,“ was all he said.

„That sucks!“ Sometimes Zeke still couldn't get how deep this little geek had gotten under his skin. Usually, he preferred one-time sex without too many feelings. Starting to flirt with Casey had been just for fun at the beginning and curiosity about how far this would go.

But he had to admit that it had long gotten out of control. They had met for almost two months, and the disappointment he felt right now, because of another weekend he would have to spend alone, was somewhat disturbing. What was wrong with him?

A romantic guy who did believe in serious relationships might call it... love. Zeke felt panic creeping into his body. No way! It was lust. Intense lust, like he had never felt before. Which was strange enough.

Casey smiled, wearing his too wide jeans now and this ridiculous checked shirt, which turned him back into the school's geek. But his blue eyes were sparkling provocatively. „Next weekend, my parents are out of town,“ he murmured, bending forward for a last kiss. Zeke's mouth got dry instantly.

„Could a road map be useful now?“

„Don't be silly; who carries a road map around nowadays?“

„A geek does.“ Casey opened his backpack, started to rummage around. „Always be prepared; that's good advice.“

„That's what I am worried about. It's a dangerous one, and I'm not sure if I will be able to save your life once again.“

„No shit!“ Kurdy rolled his eyes. „One day, I'm going to kill you!“

As ever, Piper tried to ignore her, when Alex stepped closer. Being imprisoned for over a year was still hard; she had had a life, a good running business, and a loving fiance. But her past had finally caught up with her and brought her here, where she met Alex again.

Alex, the woman she had thought to love once. But she had been young, too young, and when she finally realized that Alex was only using her, it had been too late.

„Happy birthday,“ the still so familiar voice whispered.

Piper narrowed her eyes; the last she wanted to get reminded of today. „Why don't you just leave me alone?“

„Because I still love you.“ Alex placed a small box on the table. „Thought you might like this.“

Piper jumped up. „What do you think,“ she snarled, sweeping the box off the table with a flick of her hand. „First you bring me into trouble, then you blow me out, and now you are talking about love again? I am done with you! Done!“

Alex smiled slightly. „When you are ready to stop fooling yourself, I am here,“ she said, slowly turning back to her own table.

The nurse entered the room with the usual „Good morning, Mr. Tyler, how are we today?“

He didn't look up from his magazine. „Never was better,“ he snarled. „The doc just told me that I will be your guest for at least one more week. Sounds great, doesn't it?“

She laughed, waving with an envelope in her hands. „Maybe this can lift your mood.“

Zeke frowned. „For me?“

„That's what the name says. Ezekiel Tyler, that's you, isn't it?“

Finally, he let the magazine sink. „That's ridiculous. No one knows that I am here, and even if, no one would care.“

„Well, obviously, someone does. Why don't you risk a look?“

„Not interested. Just throw it in the bin and leave me alone.“

Despite Zeke's snippy tone, the nurse still smiled. „Okay, but I will put it here, just in case you change your mind later.“

He huffed annoyed; what the heck was she thinking that she was talking with him as if he was a toddler? His eyes wandered over to the envelope on the small side table. When he recognized the accurate handwriting, he couldn't help but grin. Casey Conner. He should have known it.
