Let’s talk about the finale, all those spin-offs, movies, actors, fans, filming, zombies, and other stuff changing the entire dynamic of TWDU…

Part One: 5 Surprising Observations

So I’ve been lurking around TWD spaces across the internet more and more these days trying to figure out what in the world is going on with this expanding TWDU. 

In my online travels, I’ve found some very interesting things that seem to suggest vast changes going on within the universe. Therefore, I thought it would be good to take a minute and discuss some of what I’ve found.

First, I want to start with some very surprising observations I’ve been making lately regarding TWDU in general. In Part 2, I want to further explore a new emerging fan theory about the entire thing that might actually be going in the right direction.

I am going to put a page break here because the entire notion of this can be a bit spoiler-y in nature though this post contains no direct show spoilers if you are caught up with all the shows. 

Also please note this is a long post talking about where we seem to be at this point in the universe as a whole but I think it’s important to know this info in order to understand how Beth Greene might fit into all of it!

OBSERVATION  #1: There is no way they are filming Season 11 of the main show in order.

With a few exceptions here and there, TWD has always filmed in an order that loosely follows the episodes. Trust me on this. I have studied the filming of this show for so many years that I could probably write a book on how it is done and why it is so revolutionary from the rest of the industry. Fans have been able to get spoilers simply because the entire nature of the show’s filming is so public.

And it very clear they are definitely not filming the final season in this same order.

We know this because:

The order of scenes and episodes that have already aired did not coincide with the fan-observed filming schedule.

There are too many fan-observed scenes that were shot last summer/fall 2021 that have yet to air, though they should have been in parts A & B. This includes scenes that seem to indicate character deaths. 

We’ve had the privilege of viewing preview trailers for both Parts A & B that ended up including scenes from the later episodes and finales. They would not have been able to include such scenes in those trailers if they were filming in episode order simply because they wouldn’t have been shot/edited yet.

And it appears they filmed this way to protect against spoilers to the overall story. 

So they changed the game entirely. Yes, fans can still easily travel to Senioa and observe a lot of filming like they always could. In fact, there has been a huge resurgence in this with it being the last very season and all. However, it’s also always been really hard to know the context of the overall story simply by having access to a bunch of photos. The second step in discovering spoilers relies heavily on being able to solve the puzzle by connecting dots based on things like what actors are still present, social media accounts, and the order filming is taking place. 

And TWD took that second part completely away for the final season making it impossible to predict things that were easily predicted in years prior. 

It’s very safe to assume that at least some of the less popular characters will start dropping in Part C. We also have some idea about who some of those characters will end up being. We just don’t know when or the context leading up to it yet because they still seem to be around long after their deaths were filmed. By not filming in order, they have been able to camouflage these character deaths greatly and prevent the actual end from being spoiled.

Therefore, anyone who tries to say they know how the show ends because of filming is full of crap!

OBSERVATION  #2: The overall story dynamic of the universe has been vastly changing.

I’m not sure how much has actually been overhauled from Gimple’s original “map” made back before Season 4, but some of it definitely has. I’m not even saying they have scraped much or anything but they’ve definitely added some stuff and changed the show’s overall story dynamic.

For example, from everything I have been able to gather, I’ve concluded that originally the Daryl/Carol spin-off was probably never originally going to be set in Europe when it was initially announced.  Remember, we first learned of the new show way back in 2020 at the same time it was announced the OG was ending. 

This was way before they ever wrote the Coda in Season 2 of TWB featuring the new French-Variant Zombies. And since this whole new variant thing was obviously inspired by all the virus knowledge the real-world was recently forced to learn during the pandemic, I think it’s pretty safe to say Gimple wasn’t planning it out back before Season 4. And while we can’t be 100% sure that’s why Daryl’s going to Europe, we can make the educated guess he’ll probably come across some of these weird walkers at some point while over there. And it is also at least sort of safe to assume the change in the spin-off’s location might have partly something to do with the writers believing Daryl (and Carol at the time) had to be the one to encounter them.

Still, I believe they have known about this European direction for some time now - based on how Norman started changing his narrative in describing the spin-off beginning late last summer. Therefore, my guess would be that the writers started discussing it among themselves when they first came up with the idea of this variant while writing Season 2 of TWB. This change is what probably caused MMB to rightfully reconsider her involvement after it was already previously announced she had signed on. 

But that is not the only recent divergence from the norm I am finding within the overall universe though. Other notable changes in the story direction lately include:

A new emphasis on survival evident by the sudden trend of major characters - especially OGs - no longer being killed off unless it's absolutely necessary to do so. This has been prevalent across the universe and was evident in the atomic blast storyline in Fear, especially notable on TWB, and apparently even in the OG despite it being the final season given how easy they are to tell us who’s getting a spin-off these days. It can also be seen in the way they are simply leaving the storylines of popular characters open instead of immediately killing them off when the actors want to leave. This is all noticeably different from how TWD was proud to be known for suddenly killing off beloved characters left and right simply for shock value as a major part of their storytelling.

The push to bring back popular “dead” characters in whatever capacity they possibly can be. Rather that be facilitated through full actual resurrections allowed because there was some ambiguity in their deaths such with Madison on Fear or revisiting the Undeniably Dead such as Glen through backstories on Tales, it appears that beloved original characters everywhere are suddenly going to be popping up out of the blue. This greatly contrasts with the clear past policy of encouraging the audience to quickly move on in the story from such deaths with barely a word or two said past their tributes on TTD. 

The change from concentrating on large groups of survivors who could die at any time to small core groups of hardened survivors who are obviously safe. The story has overall changed from if our heroes can possibly survive to how our heroes are going to react to what is happening to and around them. Therefore, there is no longer a need for large ensembles of main cast members anymore.

But there’s more…

Because the original vision of the “Rick Movies” seems to have been changed up too. 

We were first told about the movies when it was announced Andrew Lincoln was leaving and they were specifically said to be a trilogy explaining his where-a-bouts done in conjunction with Universal. Of course the pandemic threw a huge monkey wrench in the entire project but Gimple went on to specifically say at the beginning of this final season of the OG that they were still a go and even mentioned that Robert Kirkman (the first time we were even told he would be directly involved) was actually finishing the script for the first movie as he spoke. Then it was announced that pre-production for that initial movie would start early this year. Now, here we are already in May and nothing further has been announced with no evidence of pre-production having started. Finally we have Norman’s recent Fallon appearance where he out and out says they are all over the place with these movies. 

So clearly something is going on with all these big screen dreams! 

I personally believe some sort of movie will eventually happen because everyone is still kind of insisting upon it. However, I’m starting to believe that it might not just be a “Rick-only” focused affair and it’s probably not going to happen soon. - I will get into this more later and in the next part of this series that will deal with new theories that make sense. 

OBSERVATION #3: It’s looking like there might could be Rick and Michonne spin-off too. 

Many of us knew all along, Michonne would probably be getting her own spin-off because of the language of everyone when Danai left. And then there was also the weird group we saw her disappear with when she did. Gimple literally said we would see Michonne and learn about this group again somewhere down the line in the universe.

However, the idea that it would include Rick is downright shocking because everyone just assumed it would only follow Michonne’s search for him.

Now - Let’s be clear - the spin-off containing Rick is still not fact. 

But every single day that goes by seems to indicate that there is at least some absolute truth behind these rumors. 

Not only did Ross Marquand (the actor that plays Aaron) slip up and seemingly confirm it, some of the very same people on the internet who suspiciously knew about MMB leaving the spin-off weeks before it was announced are insisting this is going to happen too. And these people aren’t just saying that it would be in flashbacks or at the end either. They are saying Andrew Lincoln will literally play a huge part in it!

Now, if there are really going to be “Rick Movies” and everyone is out looking for Rick, why would he already be off gallivanting around with Michonne? What’s the purpose of showing him now if the first movie is supposed to be the backstory explaining what happened to him like what was specifically told to us?

This also indicates something is majorly going on with the original concept of these movies.

OBSERVATION  #4: Tales’ main purpose will be to fill in the blanks in the universe that they didn’t/don’t have time to air on the shows.

Tales of the Walking Dead seems to have been created to fulfill the purpose of explaining to and reminding us of what it is the writers think we need to be aware of in the universe as a whole. It will be a true companion series that will simply exist to give us more information. This will include things that are important to the current story-lines but also serve to remind us of where and who TWD came from.

For example, perhaps we will learn the story of what Madison has been doing all this time away from the group in Fear. Maybe they will go more in depth to show us the story behind why Maggie is choosing to do something she will be doing because that something was important to Glen. We might learn more about how Negan came to be married and the history of that group we found him again with because it will become important to his future story-line somehow. Or they’ll show us just how those weird creature-people became so feral in that house Connie and Virgil were trapped in.

In other words, this seems to be the place to throw stand-alone bottle episodes that might slow the other shows around the universe down. Sort of like the Covid-episodes in TWD Season 10C or the back half of Season 4.

OBSERVATION  #5: The main thing fueling all these changes is ratings and viewer retention.

Now, I’m not accusing the writers of pandering to fans because they are not. They are definitely still telling the story that they are wanting to tell. This has never been more evident than the decision to still allow Daryl to go to Europe without Carol even though they knew it would cause all sorts of drama. TWD is not and never will be a write-your-own-adventure type of thing.

However, the fact still remains that TWDU in general is losing popularity and ratings are plummeting everywhere. So much so, that this obvious question must have finally been raised by someone over there at good ole’ AMC: How in the hell are you going to create an entire universe when less and less people even care about your shows or characters anymore?

I mean, there is a fine line between pandering and completely alienating your audience. I suppose the latter is okay if you are just one show that will eventually end (like GOT or Lost) but that’s no longer what they are trying to be, is it? No, they want to expand into a universe like Star Wars and Marvel so it’s almost like they finally realized they are going to need actual viewers again in order to do that.

Here’s a list of the top 10 most common fan/former-fan/critic complaints you will find around the internet:

“The show is just hopeless anymore. There’s nothing to root for.”

“It makes no sense without Rick. Rick Grimes is TWD.” 

“Everyone I ever cared about was killed off.”

“I can’t get close to anyone because I know they are just going to die.”

“The Zombies aren’t even scary anymore.”

“It’s the same old format. Find somewhere safe and then crazy bad people come and destroy it.”

“They only kill people off for shock value and the deaths make no sense.”

“There’s too many people. I can’t get close to the new guys because I know nothing about them.”

“They glaze over everything too fast” or “Everything is too slow.”

“I’m tired of having to watch panels, TTD, and read interviews to understand what is going on.”

Upon looking at that list, it’s obvious that all these changes are meant to directly combat these legitimate complaints. And so far the response has honestly been positive among those who are still watching. These are the things about the show fans ARE talking about the most.

But the question still remains: Will it be enough? Will they be able to attract new viewers and draw some of their past fans back? Can they pull it off?

Thoughts?

Supernatural!.... again? I don't know.

I got season sets of Supernatural, so gave them to the boyfriend for hunting season so he can watch it up on the mountain where there's no internet.

Naturally, me having internet because I am not out hunting, I watched Supernatural on my streaming service. And jeez, it is GOOD.

Of course, now it's got me to thinking....

Winchester.

Charles Emerson Winchester III, is he a Winchester? he has to be, I mean.. come on. How can they have funded all this? Anyway, back to my point.

I've been watching too many different TV shows, swimming in the fandom pools of different fandoms that I get my wires crossed sometimes... but think this out.

TWD, Sons, Supernatural... all seem to happen with similar timelines. They have vague connections. Plus who wouldn't like to see these characters kick zombie ass, or at least, pump a shotgun full of rock salt?

I'm thinking. My over-tired and semi-drunk brain has thought up this insane tangent. If you are interested in what weird crap my brain has come up with, look below. If not, no feelings are hurt.

1953: Korea.

"Charles, it's all in your head. The patient didn't rise from the dead." Hawkeye said with a chuckle, as Mulcahy hovered by Charles's shoulder, his blue eyes wide behind his spectacles. Klinger stood on the other side of Charles, open-mouthed at the dead body that lay sprawled on the ground before them, a silver scalpel stuck in the chest, where the heart was.

"I... I saw it, Charles." Mulcahy whispered, a hand on Charles's shoulder, his blue eyes meeting Klinger's, the three of them pausing a moment before Klinger put into words what Charles had been thinking.

"Is there more.... out there?"

"There is, Klinger. My collar is one of them." Mulcahy said with a nod, his fingers moving from Charles's shoulder to finger his collar, his shaky hand smoothing down his jacket.

"This... cannot happen again." Charles finally said in a soft exhale, having recovered enough to look back up and lock eyes with Mulcahy and Klinger; the two sharing a solemn moment of agreement, that this would never happen again.

1986: Lawrence, Kansas

"Why are we burning his body?" Dean asked John, as the three of them stood before a funeral pyre. "He wasn't a hunter."

"Yes, but he was family." John said as he turned to glance at the strange ragtag group that stood at the side of the clearing. A mix of bikers, priests, and old men stood around, smoking and drinking and watching the body burn. One of the old men had brought a record player that was playing classical music and the group stood out in silence until the fire had consumed the body. Bobby moved from the group to the Winchesters, accompanied by two bikers in vests, both of them dark haired and long haired, cigarettes hanging out of their mouths.

"Tig and Chibs here have some questions."

"One of our chapters down in Senioa, Georgia- they got a problem with a Chucupabara. You into that weird stuff... can ya take care of it?"

"Yeah, sure. We'll do it."

"Dixon boys gonna set you up, the youngest boy's the one who saw it. He can help ya, I'm sure." Tig said with a exhale of smoke. "Older boy, Merle, is a prospect of ours, he'll make sure ya got your firepower."

2012: Senioa, Georgia.

"Winchester! Winchester!" Daryl screamed into the phone, his eyes wide as he watched the carnage below him, his body leaning over the roof slightly, watching his brother with his rifle.

"Worthless trash, won't answer the fucking phone." Merle said with a grunt, loading the bullets in the chamber. "At least the Sons got us a good batch a bullets ta last us.

"We gotta get up to Kansas way. They know all this weird shit, they can end this." Daryl said with a grunt of frustration. "Gonna get to the hospital first, supplies and all, and we can go. Stay sober, Mer."

"Fuck, if I ain't sober, I don't know what this shit is." Merle shouted after Daryl, following his younger brother down to their waiting truck, Merle's motorcycle in the bed of the truck with their supplies.

"Tigger n' Chibs got our six, california's gone. They's coming our way wi' whoever is left." Merle added as they made their way slowly and carefully up to the hospital. The brothers made their way carefully through the hospital, until Merle heard a noise. A human noise.

"Who's there?" a voice called out, raspy with slow and soft footsteps as a bearded man slowly walked out of an hospital room, gown flowing out around him, his face and body gaunt. Merle and Daryl shared a surprised glance, shocked that the man had survived the masscare that was the hospital.

"The fuck are you?" Merle asked as Daryl's phone belted out "carry on my wayward son".

"Dean! the fuck is going on? can you stop this? people are eating each other out there." Daryl snarled into the phone, not bothering with an hello. The man stared at the brothers, his hands held up weakly.

"I'm Rick Grimes."

"Daryl. Merle." Merle said sharply as Daryl raved and ranted into the phone, shouting at someone named Dean.

"We gotta go to Kansas."

If you made it this far, let me know if you want to read more of my ranting and raving. I could pull some more out of this probably. Comments are welcome and DMs and whatever.

Jesus, I need a life. Hunting season can't end soon enough.

The Silence

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Summary: Rose(OC) is assigned the job of talking to Negan in his Cell.

Chapter Nine

She was Rose.

His Rose.

And he was the god damned weeds that would taint and poison every inch until there was nothing left. He knew that but it wouldn't stop him from dragging her down if that's what it took. He couldn't do this alone, she was the sun that gave him life and he was the poison that took it away. Negan was well aware of how much of a fucking psychopath that made him sound but he didn't care about that either, he only cared that she kept coming and she did. He'd been in that fucking cell for a year and for the best part of that she had been there , everyday when she could and those times when she would be too busy were hell to him.

Partly for selfish reasons and partly because he was terrified of her getting hurt.

"Happy one year, Negan." She stood there with that cheeky grin on her face and if she was anybody else he wouldn't have thought twice about throwing his shit through the bars at anybody who would say that.

"You're gonna get it. One of these days angel you're gonna regret bein' so god damned cocky."

"Oh I dunno..." She shrugged one shoulder making her hair fall into her face so that she had to sweep it behind her ear. "Have you regretted it yet? Being cocky."

"Fuck no." He laughed.

Her face went serious all of a sudden and he knew she was going into psych mode. "Are you okay?"

"Honestly?"

"Always."

"I don't even fuckin' know." He told her but she noticed the slight lift of his top lip, like a snarl and knew that if she was anybody else he would be giving them all kinds of hell.

"Do you wanna go out?" She had pity in her eyes and Negan felt that shit deep down, it snapped something in him that he had been holding back for her.

"Why? So that you can feel like you've done your good deed for the day?" He snapped.

"No Negan." Rose sighed so used to him by now and having had expected it today. To him it was the day that marked a whole year in captivity but for her it was the day that marked him lasting the year. She was almost proud of his mental strength so far.

"Fuck off." Negan huffed annoyed that she saw straight through him, that he couldn't get under her skin. "I'm not in the mood to be you're fucking lab rat today, kay?"

"Okay." She shrugged as she went to grab her usual chair which she had been bringing gradually closer and closer each time until she ended up right next to the bars. Negan got a good view of her ass in her tight jeans as she did and he almost groaned at the thought of touching her. For a long time he thought it was just because of how long it had been but a few other women had been in to bring him food and shit and sure he liked the look but none made him feel like Rose did. His eyes dragged up her body, her strong thighs from all the manual labour he knew she helped out with in the day and the amount of walking and running that this life meant. He knew she had nice hips and her little waist that he could make out from the tight vest tops she wore but today she had on a baggy top. It looked like a mans t-shirt with the sleeves rolled up...

"Is that a mans t-shirt?" He didn't even recognise the growl that came out of his mouth.

Rose paled.

"It's... I just liked it." She pulled it out to show him that it was a fleetwood mac band tee as though it explained everything she wanted to say.

"Do you have a fucking boyfriend, Rose?" He asked her sitting up with his head tilted in the way it did when he asked a question.

"Is that any of your business, Negan?" He let out a short laugh at the way she never backed down.

"Well you see, Rosie... whether you want to fuckin' believe it or not I have some warm fuzzy feelin's towards you and the thought of you leavin' here and goin to another mans bed while I... rot." He spat the last word, pure rage taking over. "It makes me a little... mother fuckin' angry!"

Rose stared at him, wide eyed. Of course she didn't have a boyfriend but the way Negan was reacting to the thought of her having one set off all those handy little warning lights in her brain.

"I don't go to anybodies bed, Negan." She kept her voice calm having learned that getting angry back at him was the worst thing you could do. She wanted to tell him that it really wasn't any of his business but again she knew that some things were better left unsaid when it came to him, he was an intelligent man. He knew himself it was none of his business.

"Is it Daryl?" He had stood up somewhere inbetween his first outburst and was now stood at the bars, towering over her, she stayed seated letting him have the dominance he always so desperately needed.

"There's nobody."

"Tell me it's not Rick." He pushed his head into the bars. "FUCK!" He roared and this time she did jump. "Now I can't get the image of you and Rick's weird sweaty body out of my fuckin' head. GOD DAMN!"

"What the fuck." Rose said under her breath as she watched his face twist up as though in discomfort. "Negan, Stop!!" Raising her voice alittle got his attention and he looked down at her. The fact that he had gotten this worked up over a t-shirt, the worst he'd been in a while shocked her and the onsurdity of the situation wasn't lost on her. "Me and Rick? That's fucking disgusting." It wasn't that she found him unattractive, more like there had been an inherent feel of family ever since she first met him.

"I bet it's that fuckin' piece of shit red neck ain't it. Bet he loves you comin home, tellin' him all about the shit I tell you."

"Daryl won't even live in the same place as you never mind want to talk about you."

"Good you deserve fuckin' better, ya hear me?!" He pointed at her while looking right into her eyes.

"What like a machotistic, borderline psychopath?" She raised an eyebrow at him.

"Hell yeah! That's what ya need in this world, angel. With a big ole dick!" His countenance snapped right back to a cocky, jokey one and she could only try and stop herself being left behind. He was tiring.

"I suppose I'm lucky enough to have one right in front of me, huh?"

"How'd ya fuckin' guess?" He smirked.

"Well it's either very big or ridiculously tiny and the way you act is you trying to assert your masculinity because your penis doesn't."

"My penis, darlin' is more than you could handle."

"Of course it is, Negan." She sighed with a roll of her eyes praying he wouldnt notice the colour in her cheeks and the slightly laboured breathing. He just stood there looking over her, his dark gaze making her have to look away.

"Look at me." He rasped starting to reach through the bars before stopping himself, realizing he wouldn't reach her face anyway it was just that sometimes he forget about those bars.

She looked up, her light eyes never staying connected to his for longer than a few seconds, he was blinding to her.

"You're fucking beautiful. Do ya know that?" The sincerity in his voice was too much and she had to look away, make a joke, anything to distract from the metaphorical sparks flying all over the place.

"I've been told I was he prettiest girl in all of Senioa." She grinned at the deep laugh that came from him bouncing playfully around the room.

"Fuckin' Senioa?!" He shook his head. "That's one hell of a compliment I mean how many girls were in your town, like 20?" He continued laughed.

"Fuck you." She laughed with him.

They continued that way for a while before Rose realised she'd been there longer than planned. Something which happened more often than she would care to admit to herself.

Rose knew Negan had issues. She also knew that being in that cell for nearly a year and half would not have helped said issues, so when she entered the room holding the cell to hear his grunts and outbursts of "stop!" She knew he was having a bad nightmare.

Rick had given her the keys to the cell a few days earlier as he was leaving for a while, still working on a united front that Rose didn't think would ever work. She rushed to the bars to see him kicking his legs whilst the rest of him was stiff and without even thinking about it she opened the gate and walked straight over to him.

"Negan!" She said calmly grabbing his hand and shaking him alittle. "Negan..."

His eyes shot open and before he could even acknowledge who she was he had grabbed her by the throat and smashed her into the brick wall beside his cot, her head connecting harshly.

"Negan!" Her voice was panicked once she had gotten over the initial shock of what was happening.

His grip hadn't eased off her throat as he continued to watch with wide fierce eyes as she struggled to loosen his hand. All at once he let out a suprised shout and his hand left her throat letting her fall to the ground in a heap.

"Rose!" He knelt down straight away to check on her, she just stared back at him looking relieved.

"What the fuck.." she gasped out her shaking hands going to her throat.

"I'm so sorry..."

"It's okay... you didn't mean to... I hope..." her words were lost when she noticed the open gate before she looked back to him warily. Shit! She had just rushed in not thinking clearly and now she was going to be accountable for the man getting free. He looked over to where she had been looking to see the gate open.

Freedom.

His eyes shot back to Rose and they just watched one another both knowing that he could easily overpower her and get himself out. Sure she had a knife on her hip but there was no way she could get to it before he stopped her.

"Are you okay?" He asked, surprising her.

"Yes." She said quietly. Rose watched his hand come slowly towards her face with trepidation wondering what he was going to do. The gentle way his large hand held her face made her want to melt and if the situation wasn't one which could go so badly wrong she would have.

"Go on..." He almost whispered, his deep voice making the panic in her subside. "You don't belong in here, angel."

To say Rose was shocked would be an understatement. She had known this man for a year and a half now and as much as she hoped that they had a good relationship she was still very aware that he was a prisoner. Not just any prisoner. A prisoner who was known to do whatever it takes to get what he wanted, no matter who he hurt in the process.

What he wanted was his freedom and here he was ignoring the chance to get out because of her stupid mistake.

"Don't look so shocked." He laughed sadly. "Go on you need to get looked at." He pulled her up and steadied her with his hands on her waist, something which he had wanted to feel for so long. His large hand squeezed her gently at the thought.

"Why?" She said on a shaky breath.

"You know why." The grin he sent her way was one she hadn't seen before, one which wasn't all cocky bravado but one which held sadness. He didn't want her to get into trouble. He wasn't going to use her lack of judgment to escape and the realisation brought tears to her eyes.

This time her hand was the one to reach his face, his eyes closing with the gentle touch. Lacking yet more judgment she wrapped her arms around his waist, her head resting on his chest and squeezed. His arms followed and the two stood there in an embrace, one that meant more to Negan than she would ever realise.

He couldn't remember the last time he had been held. Rose would leave eventually, softly closing the gate behind her and locking it with a heavy heart but for the time being they both enjoyed what they had been craving for far too long.

Standing in a cold, dark cell like weeds wrapped around a Rose they each had found their very own sunlight.

Chapter Ten

A/N Next up we're at Season 9! Yaaaaass!

five times kissed ( SASHA TOO )

@inastracaput /Sasha || smooches

one

He’s nervous. Nervous to the point he’s thinking of lighting up, but that would only make it worse. The crumpled up pack of smokes shoved deep into his jeans pocket as slender digits brush against. She’s watching him, cinnamon skin so inviting and she’s wearing the warmest smile. And it’s for him, which causes his pale face to be shaded in a soft red. He’s not sure what Sasha was saying, he was too focused on her lips. But, Mason knows he’s caught the girl in surprise when he hears a small gasp leave her lips after unlocking theirs. 

two

Sasha never mentioned her older brother, nor the fact he threatened to beat his ass. The older male made it clear and Mason could hear Tyreese coming down the hallway. the younger Williams sibling giggling while shoving her boyfriend toward her bedroom window. He’s made it with one leg out the window, pausing in his departure to give Sasha a quick peck on the lips. 

three

Mason had come a long since Sasha had met him. He was just fourteen at the time, raging and full of grief. Now he was seventeen and ready for the world. So, he thought. College acceptance letters and the choices that came down to it were on the table. Sasha’s pile was stacked next to Mason’s but as much as he wanted out of Georgia, out of Senioa, his heart fell into Athens. 

In his hands was thick envelope from UGA, Sasha’s arms locked around his. Nervous fingers tore carefully into the letter. Green hues skim over the typed words and right in the middle read accepted. The entire time he was holding his breath, bright smile forming on his lips. The girl wrapped up in him squealed with delight, squeezing his arm. Mason threw the letter and envelope into the air turning to the other. His lips found hers, kissing Sasha softly as paper cascaded around them.

It wasn’t rare for them to fight, most couples do, but Mason can’t even remember what escalated the argument. He just wants it to end. They weren’t getting anywhere but even more agitated and angry. A roll of his eyes, a huff of breath, and that infuriated Sasha even more. It wasn’t like they weren’t coming back from this, just a small bump in the road. Suddenly, Mason slipped his hands between the other’s flapping about and took her face between his palms. right in the middle of Sasha in full annoyance, he crushed his lips to hers.

It was a soft, full of sympathy that was pressed to his forehead. Dark tresses unwashed, sticking up in every direction. He’d seen it with his mother and now watching his stepmom basically follow in her footsteps. He couldn’t watch Hershel go through it again. And his sister...she was broken but wasn’t so quick to give up on her own mother. He should learn a thing or two from Beth. Olive hues turn toward the girl he loved and she offered him a gentle smile in return. He leaned up slightly to press a kiss to the corner of her mouth.
