Chapter Text
“Calm down Clem, she’ll be back soon.” Louis rolled his eyes, those two are insufferable.
Clementine laid her head on the table looking straight up at Louis. She pouted at his remark. “It’s completely normal to miss your girlfriend when she goes out hunting ok?”
“She’s been gone for an hour get a hold of yourself.” Aasim commented writing in his book.
Clem sighed loudly, annoying both Louis and Aasim greatly️. “Man I should’ve gone with them.”
“Really? The last time you did, you two managed to annoy Brody. Brody! The nicest, most pushover person ever!” Aasim exclaimed waving his pen around dramatically.
“Not to mention you two barely got work done,” Louis scoffed.
“We were waiting for fish!” Clem retorted.
“Your eyes weren’t even on the traps!!” He replied.
“Come on!!” Clem banged her head on the table. “I’m just, really worried.”
“Aww, that’s actually kinda sweet,” Aasim smiled.
“Stop you’re enabling her.”
Just then, the gates swung open. There stood Brody and Violet, carrying two large buckets of fish chatting up a storm. Violet was mainly rolling her eyes to Brody loud and funny quips, but she was smiling and enjoying it.
“Louis, Clem, Aasim!” Brody smiled as they approached the table. “Look what we got!”
“The woman of the hour! You can stop sulking Clem,” Louis nudged her as she pouted. “That’s a lot of fish!”
“Yeah, I reckon it was a nice day today?” Aasim smiled, writing their findings.
“For us and definitely not the fish,” Violet snorted. Her eyes drifted to Clementine, who smiled at her which such fondness. Man, she loved this woman.
“Hey,” Clem smiled.
“Hey yourself,” Violet grinned, grabbing her hat, leading her up to kiss her.
“I got you something,” Violet said as the parted from the short sweet kiss.
“Really? What’d you get me?” Clem rested her hands on Violet’s waist.
Violet smiled as she pulled out a fresh peach fruit out of her pocket. Clementine smiled so wide she looked like she was going to burst.
“Peaches!!” Clementine exclaimed as Violet gave it to her. “Where did you find this?!”
“Remember when we went out fishing last time?” She smirked. “Well Brody and I went there again, turns out there’s these fruit trees outback the shack! And one of them, was peaches.”
Clem took a bite of the peach. “Ah, babe, I love the effort you did but, it’s so bad it’s tastes so bitter-”
Violet’s expression changed drastically. “What no! I got more, maybe this is just a bad one-“ Violet took the peach and took a bite of it. Clem was fucking with her, it tastes delicious.
She turned to Clem, who was wearing a shit eating grin on her face. She dived in to hug her and Violet pretended not to reciprocate. “I’m just kidding!” She laughed.
“Vi, I literally love yo-“
The both of them paused to look at each with wide eyes. Violet stared at her with a mixture of hurt and wonderment. Clementine gulped, trying to save herself from finishing the sentence.
“-your peaches!” Clem exclaimed. “No wait that sounds wrong. I’m sorry, Louis was talking about how I couldn’t keep my hands off you, which is- that’s completely wrong i have a sizeable amount of restraint! What I’m trying to say is-“
Clem let go of her. “I'm gonna go show AJ what a peach is.” And she walked towards Tenn and AJ’s drawing table.
Violet stood there for a moment before turning to the rest of the group. Turns out it was only Louis who was sitting on the table with Brody and Aasim nowhere to be seen.
“Uh where’s Aasim and Brody?” Violet said.
“They went out to go put the food away, but mostly to avoid the flirting you guys were doing,” He said. “But I stayed being in case I could get the rare chance of witnessing couple drama between you two!”
“Wow, i didn’t realize we were entertainment to you,” Violet pouted.
“You are, for the most part.” Brody said walking with Aasim. “It was a pain watching you guys get together, but it was the closest thing to reality tv.”
“What happened here? Aren’t you guys supposed to be making out on a pile of peaches by now?” Aasim said.
“They haven’t said I love you to each other yet!” Louis said.
“What?!” Brody exclaimed. “No way, you two are around each other all the time!”
“Yeah, but whenever Clem tries to she backs out of it, horribly,” Violet sulked.
“Yeah you should’ve seen them earlier, Clem was literally the definition of bi disaster.” Louis laughed.
“Hey not funny! I’ve actually been stressing over it for the past few days!” Violet said.
“Well if you want it so bad why don’t you just say it first?” Aasim asked.
Violet sighed. “Well I can’t say it to her face either! My hands get all clammy and my voice starts cracking! I can’t just go up to her and say, ‘Hey Clementine! I know we’ve only been dating for a couple months but I think I love you!’”
“...You do?”
Violet tensed up as she slowly turned around to see Clem with her hands pressed up together, happy tears glistening in her eyes.
“Yeah,” Vi chuckled. “I do, do you?”
“Yes!” Clem smiled. “I really really do!”
“...Can you say it?” Violet almost whispered.
“I love you Violet,” Clem leaned in, “I was just so scared, I wanted you to say it first.”
“Dork I wanted you to say it first!” Violet smiled. “C’mere.”
The two share a kiss. “Hey, wanna eat these on the roof?” Clem pointed to the peaches. “These are so good, hey I love you.”
“Fine,” Violet smiled as they started to walk away hand around her waist. “I love you too.”
The two walked away from the table, leaving the group behind.
“...I vote to be best man in their wedding,” Louis claimed.
“Hey I wanna be best man!” Aasim pouted.
“Oh please you two would be flower girls at best!” Brody said. “I’ll be best men.”
