Best friends since childhood, {y/n} and Carl Grimes have always been inseparable. When the world falls apart, they survive together—until the fall of the prison tears them apart. After spending a year searching for each other, fate gives them one last chance to reunite. But after everything they’ve endured, can they still find their way back to one another?
Right after the fall of the prison when the group is separated and Carl thinks he’s better off without half-dead Rick, he sneaks out on his own , to lead two walkers away from the front of the house they were crashing in. When he gets cornered by a third walker and almost bit, you come out of nowhere and save him. He finds you interesting, a year younger, no adults or friends helping you survive and living in a….treehouse? He would never admit you saved him though, he totally had it covered.
