— relief. yet Rick knew better than to argue with Maggie.
“fine yet if you need anything don’t think twice about comin’ to get me. I mean it.”

family keeping close eye on the others welfare had been something he’d always been proud of within the group. his own tiredness however didn’t often come into play, a simple problem all came into contact with.
raising to his feet, a light stretch brought little—
⠀⠀
“thanks but between ‘chonne and I we should have it covered — tired isn’t anything I’ve not experienced before.”
wasn’t that the truth. breaking up his huddled stance with raising up to his feet some gentle movement would help on his course.
The jolt of fright of his body didn't go unnoticed from Hazel. She snorted lightly, stifling a laugh and fiddled with the handle of her gun mount as she peered up at him with a smile of amusement.
"You're so welcome, I can watch them if you want some rest — I don't mind"

-managed to tug into a small smile.
“I can’t ask you to do that; another —“
taking a second to rustle his hand from under covers to glance to his wrist watch.
“— hour and half I’ll be replaced.”

footsteps brought awareness of another joining him before sight leading him a few extra seconds to straighten himself up as though forcing himself to look awake. who’d he been kidding?
a moment of relaxation came as it had been Maggie who’d found him, lips just—

overly tired left brain fogged, not much could have risen him from the bed. listening half heartedly to Carl’s explanation his head dropped back down onto the pillow. may have been fully clothed lying on top of the covers yet blissful sleep called.
“be careful.” —

noise startled him more than he’d allow himself to admit, eyelids raising while eyes found source to the comment bringing a forced single chuckle to float between them.
“thank you for such an uplifting speech, it’s a look of my children don’t sleep.”
Her fingers held onto her gun mount with a deathly grip, knuckles turning white from the force of it — her eyebrows knitted and her pink lips pursed into a sly smirk as she scanned her uncles face, noticing how tired and wrecked the man looked.
"You look like complete shit"
⠀
whole body aching, eyes hooded just about focusing all while large coat wrapped itself around hunched shoulders.
perched upon watch tower early morning, air raw leaving every breath visible. elbows on knees — so close to falling asleep.
when was the last time he slept?
|| seriously considering diving back into this fandom; adore how it’s alive & I feel as though I’ve grown within my writing. is there a good want & need for long writing?
@dourpurity @GallantSamurai Teetering on the edge of childhood and tween he’d make most of all of this knowing days would come numbered as each day she grew.
“take over the world huh? how’s that working out for you so far?”
