You're All I Want ꜜ The Walking Dead

Alexanderia

Walking back to Alexandria took at least two days. You never left Kai's side due to being a part. The boy, Carl, never Kai's side either. He always admire her while they talked. It was cute. You were glad to see her happy.

Daryl always walked ahead of everyone and never really talked. "Hey, Kai I'll be right back, stay with Carl." You told her as you walked over to Daryl.

You placed your hand on his arm to get him attention. "You alright?" You asked him.

He looked at you. You were able to see his eyes more clearly than before. They were a beautiful shade of blue. "Yeah, I'm alright. Just trynna get you guys back safe as possible." He was looking around to make sure he was getting us there correctly.

"Thank you... again" You said to keep the conversation going.

"It ain't nothing." Daryl replied very bluntly. "Before we get there, I just wanted to let you know, Rick, the leader, he will ask you questions and you will have to answer."

Out of curiosity you asked a question, "What kind of questions?"

Daryl stopped to reply, "You'll find out once we get there." He always seemed to try and avoid making small talk. You understood why since you guys were practically stranger but you wanted to get to know him.

....

We made it to Alexandria and Daryl reminded us again about how Rick will be asking us some questions so we can stay in the gated community.

Daryl hit the fence a few times and this pastor opened the gate for us. "Welcome."

You smiled and gave him a nod of acknowledgment. He closed the gate behind you and stayed near it incase others come through.

"Hey, Rick." Daryl gave Rick a brotherly hug. "I've got some people. Their names are Y/N and Kai. They were separated but Carl and I helped them get back together."

Rick had on a brown button up shirt with a white T-shirt inside. He looked cleaned up, unlike Daryl. "Hey,  Welcome to Alexandria. Before we get to know each other, I'm gonna ask you both a few questions. Are you ready to hear them?"

You and Kai both answered, "Yes."

"Alright, How many walkers have you killed?"

"I've killed more than a dozen and Kai has kille-"

Kai cut me off and answered for herself, "I've killed at least 10." You looked at her with a proud look on her face and she faced you and smiled.

"How many people have you killed?" He went straight into the second question.

"I've killed a lot..." Your thought have trailed back to when you were in the military. "and Kai's killed 0"

"Why?"

"I was in the military." You choked on your words and hoped no one noticed.

"Alright. Carl will take you over to the house to get you cleaned up. We will prepare you guys a place and it should be ready by the end of the day. Daryl take Y/N to Denise so she can get that wound check out. Glad to have you guys here." Rick nodded at me as he walked pasted us.

You turned to Kai and sort of bent down to be at level with her. "Kai go ahead and go with Carl to get cleaned up, I'll meet you there soon." She nodded in response and walked over to Carl and grabbed his hand.

You laughed. "Don't they look cute together?" You asked Daryl who was across from you.

"I guess. Let's get you to Denise." Daryl proceed to walk up to you to help you walk. He placed his hand on your lower back to help you balance.

When he touched you, you felt tingles through your spine. You never been touched like this since high school due to going straight into the military. It felt nice.

You guys began walking. It took a while since the pain was now there since all of your adrenaline was gone. "I'm sorry for making this walk very slow." You said to break the silence.

It took Daryl a minute to respond. "It's all good, just doing a favor," He looked up at you.  The way he looked at you had an effect on you everywhere. You looked away and noticed we were at the Nursery.

Daryl helped me up the steps. It was so much more painful to walk up them. "Daryl," You stopped him from walking, "I go by Cam, short for Campbell."  He gave you a slight smile. Before entering the building, you thanked him again

...

Daryl's POV:
'Cam, short for Campbell.' I thought to myself. 'It is badass.' A small smile came across my face without you even knowing.

"What you smilin about?" I heard a familiar voice. I looked up and it was Carol.

"Nothing. Just got something on my mind." I avoid giving her the real answer.

She sat down next to you on the porch step. "What's the something? I've got time to listen."

I wasn't sure if I should tell her. I only just met the girl. "Ion know if I should say. It recently just happened."

She looked at me confused and laughed. "What happened?"

I groaned before responding. "Fine. I met a girl today. Well, I sort of found her. She has a daughter, I think? But that's beside the point. She's the most beautiful god damn women I've seen. Every time she talks to me, my mind goes blank and I either give her really short answers or very unrelated answers." I looked over at Carol for help and found her smiling. "What?"

"Daryl.. I think you might like her." She said.

"Nah, I can't. I just met her today."

Carol got up and dusted herself off and gave me a kiss on the cheek. "Whatever you say. I'm going to go to sleep. Make sure you sure you shower, you stink."

I laughed it off.

I went to my room and went to sleep with Cam on my mind.
