Kenlee

'Kenlee is the slash ship between Kenny and Lee Everett from the The Walking Dead fandom.

Canon
Lee and Kenny's relationship heavily depends on how the player treats Kenny in season one and can transfer over to what Kenny says about Lee in Season 2. If the player is kind to Kenny, he will return the favor most of the time.

Episode One
Lee and Kenny met at Hershel's Farm when Kenny wakes Lee and Clementine up in the barn after they had been brought to the farm by Shawn Greene the previous day. Lee and Kenny begin to get to know eachother on the farm. Shawn will ask Lee for help on a fence, Shawn and Kenny's son, Duck, will get attacked by walkers simultaneously. If the player chooses to save Duck, Kenny will be grateful and will occasionally mention it during other points in the game. Shawn dies and Hershel will kick Lee and Kenny's family off the farm. Kenny thanks Lee for saving Duck by telling Lee he can come with him and his family to Macon.

They rush into Lee's family's old drugstore and there meet other survivors, Lilly and her father, Larry, Glenn, Carley, and Doug. While they were going into the drugstore, Duck was attacked by a walker and covered in dirt. Larry goes into a fit and begins saying that they need to "deal with" Duck although he wasn't bitten. The player can either side with Kenny or Larry, Kenny will be appreciative if Lee sides with him, and as Telltale puts it, will remember that. Depending on the player's choices for dialogue, Lee will tell Larry to sit down or he's gonna beat him, and Larry replies "You're gonna whoop me? You and what homo parade?" to which Kenny angrily replies "This one."

Larry then has a heart attack and Lee is left to get Larry pills from the pharmacy. Lee can then check in with Kenny and his family, and Kenny will come to Lee and tell him he feels bad about what happened to Shawn. Lee will then console Kenny. Lee can do little things around while in the pharmacy, like give Duck an energy bar, which will help raise Kenny's relationship with Lee. Lee and some of the others will clear out a motor inn and then the pharmacy will get attacked by walkers. Larry will knock Lee down, stating that he's not coming with them. Kenny will then come back to help Lee up, he says that he's not going to let someone else get eaten before calling Lee a good friend.

Back at the motor inn, Lee will thank Kenny for saving him, Kenny will compliment Lee on how he cares for Clementine.

Episode Two
Three months have past since the first episode, Kenny, Lee, and Mark are out into the woods to hunt for food. The group finds 3 survivors, one of them named David is caught in a bear trap, Kenny helps defend Lee while Lee attempts to free David. The group comes back to the inn, where Lilly is angry over Lee bringing another person. Kenny defends Lee and tells Lilly to calm down. If Lee sides with Kenny while arguing with Lilly, Lee will defend Kenny aswell. Lilly will get angry and give Lee the rations for the day. Kenny will refuse any food from Lee unless Duck is fed, in which he will be thankful for Lee taking care of his family.

If Lee has been kind to Kenny over the past episode, Kenny will give Lee an offer to leave with his family in the R.V with Clementine. When Andy and Danny St. John come by the motor inn and invite them to the dairy, Lee can tell the St. Johns that Kenny is the leader of the group. Lee and Mark decide to look around the dairy, Mark gets shot while out and at some point has his legs cut off. Kenny and Lee talk, mostly about Kenny's family while Kenny pushes Duck on a swing.

Later in the barn, Lee investigates a locked door and Kenny will discuss the door with Lee about how it's suspicious. Kenny asks Lee if he knows how to pick locks, to which Lee replies no and asks why in a surprised manner. Kenny then calls Lee "urban" to which Lee calls Kenny out for his racist comment. Kenny apologizes with the excuse that he's from Florida and "crazy shit just comes out of my mouth sometimes." Kenny tells Lee to find a distraction to get the door open, the dinner bell then rings and Kenny tells Lee he'll make an excuse for Lee.

Lee finds a bloody room behind the door before he goes to dinner, after exploring the house, he finds out that Mark's legs are being fed to the group. Lee will warn the group, but the group will then get put in a meat locker. Lee will promise to Kenny that they'll get out and that they'll get his family back. Larry then has a heart attack, to which Kenny will begin telling Lee that they have to stop Larry from turning. Lee can either help Kenny kill Larry or help Lilly. If Lee helps Kenny, Kenny will be glad (?) that Lee sided with him again, they eventually get out after they find a coin in Larry's pocket and get through an air vent. Lee and Kenny separate from Lilly and Clementine, they sneak back into the barn and hide. Danny attacks Lee, to which Kenny helps Lee knock him down.

No matter what Lee's actions are after this, the group leaves the dairy and begin walking back to the motel. Kenny tells Katjaa to let him and Lee have a second. Kenny tells Lee that a falling out is going to happen after he killed Larry back in the meat locker. Kenny asks what Lee thinks, if you agree with Kenny, Lee will say that they'll do what has to be done. Kenny says that the R.V at the motor inn is almost ready, and tells Lee he wants him to come and says that they're a team now.

Episode Three
The episode starts with Lee and Kenny in town, trying to get whatever supplies they can. Kenny asks Lee what he thinks about leaving or staying, Kenny will agree with Lee if he says he wants to leave. Kenny climbs up a ladder on a truck to get into a pharmacy, the latter breaks on Lee. Lee finds a way up and Kenny offers to pull Lee up. Kenny drops Lee and Lee can joke with Kenny or ask if hes okay. They eventually get up and into the pharmacy, once walkers begin appearing, Kenny will save Lee before they leave.

They appear back at the motel and Lilly asks how much they got. If Lee says nothing when they got a decent amount, Kenny will laugh and joke that Lee must've hit his head.

Season Two
After Clementine and Kenny meet again in episode 2, Kenny will mention Lee, and based on the players actions as Lee in season one, Kenny can say either good things or bad things about Lee. If Clementine in episode 4 says she had to kill Lee, Kenny will become upset and say that he can't look her in the eye anymore.
