Kenny x reader
Author note: I have found almost no Kenny x reader fics and I have way too many scenarios in my head so fuck it I’m making a series because yes 😀🖕
Note this is my first every series I am writing so this is most likely gonna be god awful so u have been warned
This series will also be following the story in the game, with a few things that I might add just to make the reader seem more interesting
Rating: There will be definitely be some smut further into the story and this story shall be a slow burn also probably very bad writing.
Because your girl loves a good love chase
The character has a name because writing y/n is gonna drive me crazy and some characters will have colors and other weird things so that you know who is who.
But um anyways enjoy nuggets.
The World Around Us
Stranger to Friends to Lovers to Memories
July 19th 2003
I had just turned 28, and I was home taking care of my sister who was around 8 when the virus spread.
My parents were out of town in Savanah, so I invited my friend Sandra over to hangout with my sister and I.
I remember my sister wanting to go outside to play so me and Sandra sat on the porch and talked while keeping an eye on my baby sister. I guess I looked away for too long because I heard a scream I turn around and some women was attacking my sister, me and Sandra bolted up and ran to protect her.
Sandra beat me too her and pushed the women off her while I grabbed my sister and wrapped her in a bear hug.
Are you alright? I check her for scraps, I..I think so? she says burying her face in my neck.
After double checking if she was okay I turn to Sandra to see her still struggling. Telling my sister to stay there I run to Sandra to help her by shoving that bitch to the ground. I grab Sandra and my sister and run back inside my house.
Once inside I put her down and turn to Sandra checking if she was also alright from that scofflaw.
Oh my god your bleeding, I practically yell, there on her arm was a bite mark it was deep and was definitely gonna cause infection if not treated fast.
I run to my phone to call 911…
Just for it to go straight into voicemail
…. To be honest I didn’t even know 911 could even leave you on fucking voicemail.
I keep calling back and trying to get someone anyone but nothing.
I start to panic. The only option we had left was to run to the hospital which would be a 40 minute walk from home.
While I’m about to tell Sandra we had to walk there we heard banging at the door, i slowly walk towards the door and look threw the peephole, to see that that women isn’t just there but 3 other people were there now and they were banging at the door trying to get in.
And they didn’t look like they were here to talk about god.
So with 911 down and people trying to get into our house to attack us. We were stuck, and my only option was to treat her bite as best as I could until we could get to the hospital.
Timeskip (because I’m lazy) 5 hours later
Me Sandra and my sister are sitting on the couch watching the news.
It looked like our town was in war.
People with no sense walking around biting and or killing people no one knows how or why this is happing and we are all scared
I see my sister hugging the walkie talkie my mom gave her as a birthday present.
I pull her into my side giving her a side hug
Hey they are gonna be okay.
I hope so, she says snuggling into my side. I’m scared.
Me too Clem, me too.
I look over to Sandra and see she looks pale. That’s not good. I let go of Clem and stand up to try and take Sandra to the bathroom.
Grabbing her she feels cold like to the touch which is odd but I don’t say anything about it not wanting to add to the situation.
I sit her on the toilet in my bathroom and run some water to splash in her face
Hey can you leave for a few minutes I think I have to throw up and I don’t want u in here for that
Hesitantly I I turn off the sink water and leave to let her do her business.
Going back into the living room I is Clem went into the backyard sitting on the tire swing
Sighing, I catch the house phone beeping showing we had 3 missed messages that we didn’t hear from having the tv volume up so loud.
I press the the button to the listen to the missed messages
It was from mom
Hey sweetie, we’re still in Savannah your father had a little incident near the hotel so we had to get em back to the ER and have him checked out.
Anyway he’s not feeling well enough to drive back tonight so we’re staying a extra day
Thank you so much for looking after your sister hun, and I promise we’ll be back home before spring break is over
Message over
I check the next message
6 hours later
Oh my god, finally! I don’t know if you’ve been trying to reach us all the calls are getting dropped.
They’re not letting us leave
And aren’t telling us anything about Atlanta
Please, please just leave the city and take Clementine with you back to Marietta
I’ve gotta get back to the hospital
Please let me know that you both are safe
I play the last message
Baby, if you can hear this call the police
We love you both so much
We love you
We love y-
Salty water drops on the phone
Coming back to reality I realize I’m crying and try to pull myself back together.
Are they alive? Are they okay? Are they…Dea-
Before I can finish my thought I hear a loud thud come from the bathroom that Sandra’s in.
I call out to her. Silence.
I slowly walk back to the bathroom and open the door. There on the floor is Sandra.
I dive on the floor and try to shake her awake.
Sandra, SANDRA!!
She isn’t breathing! Shit Shit,SHIT, Please don’t be dead. I get up from off the floor and try to call someone anyone for help .Nothing.
All the lines are dead, Before I could go to full panic mode… I see her standing in the hallway Looking down at the floor.
Sandra ? I walk slowly towards her.
Sandra ?
I slowly reach my hand out to her, and she grabs it with a death grip.
WHAT THE HELL !! LET ME GO SANDRA
She was just lying dead on my bathroom floor and now she’s standing in my hallway groaning and pulling me towards her with her mouth ready to bite me! I try to make as much distance between us as possible.
I look in her lifeless eyes, it’s as if her soul got sucked right out of her. This wasn’t Sandra anymore.
Scared, I yank my hand out of her firm grip, struggling I managed to get myself free from her and make a run for the backyard
She slowly tries to walk after me making grabby hands at me, walking with a limp.
I make it out the door and slow it shut before she could reach me by her walking too slow.
Her face pressed against the glass she keeps trying to get me. It’s as if she had no sense at all
Scattered I turn my head and stop see that Clem was gone
Clem?
CLEMINTINE WHERE ARE YOU !
About 5 minutes of me looking I see her hop back over the fence that leads to the woods. I run towards her hugging her
Don’t scare me like that! You can’t be going out there alone something could’ve happened to you.
I’m sorry, she says out of breath
But something crash in the woods so I went to go see what happened, and there was a man there he was next to a crash car, he saw me so I ran away.
A man ?
Not even a beat later I hear more of those things inching closer to the backyard fence so I rush Clemtine to get into the tree house we made a few years ago
Once Clem was inside I rush to also get inside, and I just make it before we hear something got into our yard.
We stay silent.
HELLO ! ANYBODY?
A voice. A man’s voice.
It’s a guy ,Clem whispers, maybe he could help us.
I whisper back, idk Clem that’s risky, we don’t know who this guy is he could be dangerous.
HELP!
SOMEBODY! YELL IF YOU COULD HEAR ME!
We stay silent
Where is Sandra ?
I hesitate in my response, she… you know the woman that attacked you and bite her. The bite did something to her. I don’t think Sandra is Sandra anymore.
I say deciding to tell her the truth.
So she’s one of them ? I nod tearing up a little.
I go to comfort her but then stop once we hear the guy again.
HELLO! ANYBODY HOME ? I NEED A LITTLE HELP! … COMIN IN! Dont shoot okay.
oh shit
I don’t want to risk it, but I don’t want the guy to get hurt too so I look to Clem and ask for her walkie talkie
Hello can you hear me in there?
I repeat saying that until the stranger finds the other walkie talkie
Hello did she get you?
I was about to give up thinking she got him until ..
Hello sorry, I’m here.
Good . What’s your name. I’m Peaches your in my house.
Peaches he repeats as if by saying it out loud he will remember it more.
I’m Lee
How old are you ?
28.
Are you alone?
No I’m with my baby sister Clementine.
How old are you ?
I’m uh 37.
Okay.
Do you have family?
Yes, they took a trip to Savannah so I stayed to look after my sister.
Are you guys safe?
Yes we’re outside in our tree house, so that no one can get in
That’s smart .
I poke my head out the tree house door
Can you see me, I can see you through the window.
He sees me and waves
I look behind him and gasp.
LOOK OUT !
Though the window I see Lee struggling with “Sandra” and he doesn’t look like he’s winning, I look around the tree house to find something anything to help him and I set my eyes on a hammer.
Come on Clem.
We climb down the tree house and see that Lee is next to the sliding glass door Sandra at his legs. I see a hammer on the ground next to the tree my dad forgot to put away trying to make the tree house more stable, I grab it and run up next to him and give him the hammer. He snatches the hammer from my hand and smashes it on her head over and over again . Until there was basically nothing left of her face. We stand there silently for a while.
Did you kill it, Clem asks Lee
Yes.
It’s okay, I think she turned into a monster
I think so too ?
Lee looks at me
You guys have been all by yourselves through this?
Yes
I want mom and dad to come home now, she says looking at me.
I look from Lee to Clem
I think it might be a while, I say trying to keep my tears inside.
Look, I don’t know what happened, but if you’d like, I can stay with you two for protection, it’s probably safer in a group than being alone.
Yeah I agree , plus I don’t think your not getting anywhere far with that leg. Lee nods agreeing with my statement.
So what are we gonna do now, asking Lee
We need to find help before it get dark.
That’s a good idea, it’s not safe at night.
Alright then, Let’s go.
Time-skip
We had gotten a ride from some nice guys Shawn and his friend Chet , they where heading to there fathers barn, Lee and I helped them get there truck unstuck by moving the crashed car in front of us.
We met the old man who runs the farm which also happened to be Shawn’s father Hershel , Chet had left to check up on his mother. Hershel bandaged up Lees leg and asked him all sorts of questions, but I decided not to listen in it not being my business once he was done, Hershel had allowed me Lee and my sister to stay in his barn for the night with another family who was resting in there as well.
Me and my sister shared a matt while Lee has his own right next to us.
It smells like
Manure
Shit
Me and Lee say at the same time, I give him a side glance for cussing in front of Clem.
I’m sorry I shouldn’t talk like that.
That’s was a swear. Clem says looking at me.
Yeah I know Clem, I chuckled despite me being slightly annoyed at the swear.
Peachy, I miss mom and dad peach.
I know Clem I do too
I still haven’t told Clem about the messages that mom left, I don’t think I have the heart to tell her right now, after everything that’s happened.
How far is Savannah ?
Pretty far.
Oh ok. I hope they are okay.
I pause for a moment before responding, I hope so too Clem. Get some sleep Clem, we are safe here.
Okay goodnight peachy
Night Clem.
Clem falls asleep after that. I pull her closer to me trying my best not to break down. Everything that happened today is starting to get to me.
Peaches.
Yes.
Idk what exactly is gonna happen from here on out, but you and your sister are safe with me, I won’t let anything happen to either of you.
Promise?
I promise you.
Thank you Lee.
And with that I fell asleep, with Clem wrapped up in my arms.
(The next morning)
Hey get up.
Not the best sleep ever but not the worst either, a new guy had woken me and Lee up, a white male with mustache, a hat on with baggy ruffed up pants and a white shit with a necklace tattoo around his neck.
Ugh I’m itchy.
Well you slept in a barn little lady, lucky you don’t have spiders in your hair.
Clem gasps
But I bet you daddy and mommy scared em all away huh.
I’m uh not her dad, names Lee.
I’m Kenny.
Before I could say anything a new voice popped in, a little boy with a pattern button up and blue jeans, dark hair and paleish skin.
Dad! Where gonna build a fence! There’s a tractor and everything!
Better get going or we won’t hear the end of it.
We all walk out the barn, it was a nice day out today, it was peaceful kinda makes you forget that the world is going to shit.
That’s my boy Ken junior, we call him duck tho.
Dodging of quacking?
I finally speak up, Kenny chuckles.
Quacking.
Daaaad!
See.
We stop next to his son and what seems to be Kenny’s wife. Kenny turns back to Lee.
The word is you were on your way to Macon.
My family’s from there.
Well Macon’s on the way and personally, I’d appreciate the company of a guy that can knock a couple peoples heads together if he have too.
He asks me and Lee.
I’ll see what the girls would like.
Ah gotta consult the missus, I understand.
He turns to his family to introduce us.
Honey, Duck, this is Lee and uh what are y’all’s names.
He turns back at me and Clem.
This is my baby sister Clementine and I’m Peaches.
Clementine and Peaches those are very pretty names.
Thank you
Thanks
We say in unison.
Peaches huh, Can I ask why your parents named you Peaches?
Kenny asks me curiously
Uhhh it’s really embarrassing.
Can I tell them?
Clementine says with excitement I’m her tone.
I’m also curious.
WHY IS EVERYONE SO INTERESTED IN MY NAME ALL OF A SUDDEN.
No ! Uhhhh, can we talk about something else now please.
I say with my face turning slightly red with embarrassment. They all laugh at me. Luckily they drop it Once shawn appeared ( will get to why it’s so embarrassing in a very very later chapter)
Well we should get to work, we’ve all seen what those things can do out there so the faster we get this fence up the better. Shawn says appearing out from the house.
I wanna build a fence
Yeah? Well I need a good foreman. You can sit on tractor and yell at me whenever I take a water break.
On a tractor cool!
Duck and I will hop to it .
Duck and Shawn walk off to work on the fence, Kenny’s wife turns to me.
I can keep an eye on your little sister here on the porch. If you wanted to look around or clear your head. I can tell you two probably went through a lot getting here.
Uh, Thank you. I appreciate that. Be good Clem, if you need to all you gotta do is yell and I’ll be here in a heart beat okay
Okay.
We all split up and do our own different things, Lee goes to talk more to everyone else. I didn’t want to go too far from Clem so I decided to chat with Kenny.
Hey um it’s Kenny right?
Yes ma’am.
Do you need any help with repairing your car?
Nah I think I got it. Do you need any help?
What do you mean?
I mean In taking care of Clementine. I know you said she’s your sister, I don’t know what happened to your parents but I’m sure that’s a lot of responsibility now in your shoulders.
Well Clems always been a good kid, and I’ve baby sat her more times than I could count, but if you wanted my honest answer, no I have no idea what I’m doing. I say with little energy.
He chuckles softly
Well at least you’re honest. Shit, better than I was when duck showed up, you’ll figure it out.
How is duck doing?
Good I think, Katjaa’s got a sister up in Memphis, we were coming back from visiting. We were in a gas station and some guy grabbed my boy. I thought he was kidnapping him, I was on the fucker in about two seconds and … Christ. Just lucky I was there. We saw a lot of bodies before we stumbled upon Hershel’s. But we’re a tough family Peaches, ain’t nothing gonna faze us.
Huh you’re a good man Kenny.
Eh I try .
So what’s your family’s plan?
Get back on down to Lauderdale and let this mess get sorted out. Government will start handing out shots and the national guard will do its thing. On the odd chance things got too bad, we could hop on my boat, I guess.
You’ve got a boat?
I’m a commercial fisherman, catching mackerel dolphin, whatever’s biting and paying. Katjaa wouldn’t be wild about it, but the boats not that bad.
Huh that’s not too bad of an idea.
At this point Kenny starts asking me questions about me Clem and Lee. And I decide to answer truthfully.
So how did y’all get here?
Me and my sister were hiding in our tree house because my friend had was bitten by whatever those things are on her arm and turned into those things , when Lee came stumbling into our yard hurt and looking for help. He killed her with my dads hammer and we decided to stick together figuring it’s safer in a group then by ourselves . That’s when we met Shawn and his friend Chet and they offered us a ride here.
I see, hasn’t been easy for y’all either then.
Nope not at all.
So what about your parents where are they?
I hesitate in my answer, but before I could respond. We hear a scream not to far from us. Saving that conversation for later we ran to where we heard screaming. There the dead was trying to get Duck and Shawn. Shawn was stuck under the tractor. And duck was being grabbed by the dead. Kenny ran up to him and tried to pull him away but was struggling.
So I had to make a choice.
Save Shawn or save Duck?
I make my choice and run to help Duck.
I run toward Kenny and Duck and I punch the dead right in the face making it loose its grip on Duck. Kenny saw the opportunity and took it, he pulled as hard as he could and soon enough the thing let go of Duck.
Kenny picks up Duck and runs further into the farm to safety.
PEACHES!! HELP ME PLEASE !!
I run to Shawn thinking I had enough time to save him as well. But I was too slow, the fence broke and fell right on him. Eating him alive, Hershel and Lee come running over to help. Hershel shoots all the dead in the head crouching down to his now dead son.
Everyone is now standing on the side looking in horror.
Get out. GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE.
Hershel’s now looking at us.
I’m sorry.
SORRY, your son is alive. YOU DONT GET TO BE SORRY.
He turns to me.
AND YOU! you didn’t even try to help my boy!
I look down in shame
I…I thought I could save them both.
Look at him. You thought wrong. And now… please just go. GET OUT! AND NEVER COME BACK!
He turns back to his son.
Tears in my eyes I turn to everyone else. Kenny’s eyes are on me.
Peaches.
I look up, tears falling down my face.
Y’all got that ride to Macon if you want it.
Giving me one last glance he walks back to his car his family in tow. Lee grabs my shoulder reassuringly. I look over to him.
It’s okay, let’s go, I’ve got you.
Clem runs to my side giving me a side hug sticking to me like glue and we stay that way walking to Kenny’s truck. We get in .And Kenny drove away.
(Kenny will remember you saved Duck)
