Fake Date

AN: I wrote this drabble for @annablack1102 Negan Fic Exchange Valentine’s Day Edition. My prompt is fake date and I took a different spin on. Happy Valentine’s Day @writingkeepsmewhole sweetheart and I hope you enjoy. 

You laughed as the girl cringed for what had to be the millionth time that night. Her physical discomfort served as amusing entertainment as you watched her tense up under the man's gaze. Negan followed your line of sight as he wrapped an arm around your waist. He chuckled softly as he brought his lips to your forehead.

“I'm sure she's gonna kill us all later.”

“She's getting what she asked for.” You replied with a wink. “I don't think this is what she had in mind.” You could see your cousin, Madi, turning her head around frantically; looking for an escape or rescue. Her eyes landed on you and went from fright to fight. A grin spread out across your face as you rose the glass in your hand towards her in a toast. Annoyance rolled off her in waves as she began to shake her head. The tall man at her side placed his hand on her shoulder and she flinched before composing herself. Now it was Negan’s turn to grin and shake his head.

“Yeah we’re so fucking dead.” Negan whispered to you as you wrapped an arm around his waist. Madi smiled politely at the little group that had surrounded her as she began to inch her way over to where you and Neagn were standing. When she got closer, she unleashed her fury in a rushed whisper.

“When I asked you fuckers to find me a date, this isn’t what I had in mind!” 

“You asked for a man to accompany you tonight.” you shrugged.

“And my boy Simon is a man.” Negan added. 

“He’s not a man!” she shot back in anger with caused Negan to raise his eyebrows. “He’s a lumberjack who is strangely obsessed with alcohol and 17th century paintings!”

“Oh yeah he loves that shit.” Negan laughed as he took a swig of his drink. “Honestly Madi I don’t even fucking know why you wanted a date for tonight.” Madi gaped at Negan for a second before her brows furrowed. 

“Because our aunt decided to get married on one of the cheesiest days and I’m tired of the old folks asking where my date is.”

“Let me rephrase that. I don’t fucking know why you wanted a male date for tonight.”

Blanching, Madi gawked at Negan. Her eyes shot from Negan to you and back to him. “You know?” she whispered, voice tiny and traces of her unshown fear seeping through. You rushed to her then and embraced her in a crushing hug. 

“Of course we know. We’ve known for a while.”

“How long is a while?”

“When we caught you sucking face with your grandma's nurse.” Negan said with a shrug. Madi giggled before shyly hiding her face in the crook of your neck.

“You guys stealing my date?” A chuckling Simon accused as he strolled up to Negan and patted his friend on the shoulder. 

“Sure did. Said you were a shit date.” 

“Yeah that doesn’t hurt my feelings at all, pal.”

“You’re not her type.” you offered and Madi straightened herself and avoided eye contact with the man. Simon shrugged nonchalantly as he wrapped his arm around your shoulder. Negan gave his friend a glare as Simon pulled you closer to him. 

“Oh well. You win some, you lose some. At least there’s alcohol here. Speaking of which?” Simon  gestured towards the open bar. Negan sighed as he went to follow his friend but not before giving you a quick peck on the lips. You smiled brightly as the two disappeared behind the crowded bar. A scoff brought your attention to Madi who had her arms crossed and shook her head. 

“Looks like my date stole your date.”

“Well,” you began as you looped your arm with hers. You tilted your glass towards a group of bridesmaids. “Let’s find you another, shall we?”

AN2: Yall please forgive any format issues. I had to get a new laptop for my birthday and I have no idea how to maneuver it yet (it’s a chromebook). If someone would be so kind as to help me, I’d be forever thankful.
