Dead or alive, I love you

Genny looks at Daryl as she walks out of the farm house. He eyes her with a sigh before she walks into the house. She later helps set up their camp at the end of the farm.

Glenn and Genny set up their tent and she puts their stuff in it. "Hey, how you doin?" Daryl asks by the entrance of the tent.

"Wow, he's finally talking," she smiles turning to him.

He rolls his eyes and scoffs, "then I ain't saying anything to you anymore." He says angry before walking off.

She walks after him stopping him by the woods. "Daryl Dixon! You stop walking right now!" She yells out of breath.

He stops but doesn't turn to her. "Listen, I can't have you be angry with me," she sighs.

"Why not?" He asks turning to her.

She closes her eyes with a deep breath. "Because I don't like it when you're angry. You shut me out when you're angry," she says looking up with a frown and hesitance in her voice.

"Why do you care?" He asks walking over to her almost shaking with anger.

She looks up at him with an innocent look, "because I like you too." She whispers putting her hands on his chest.

He looks at her as his anger disappears slowly. He puts his hands over her ears and kisses her. This kiss is gentle and passionate. He keeps the distance between their body's remembering how she reacted the first time he went to quick.

Her hands stay on his chest as his relax a bit in her neck. She pulls back giving his chest a soft almost unnoticeable push. "I like you, I really do. But...there's stuff," she pauses as her eyes get glossy, "things that I can't do. At least not yet," she whispers.

"We'll just take it slow. We've got time," he smiles kissing her forehead.

She nods and he sighs, "I'm gonna look for Sophia. How about you go back to camp?" He asks taking off his hands and picking up his crossbow that he dropped when he kissed her.

Later that night Daryl walks into camp and walks over to the camp fire. Genny is sitting with Glenn under a big blanket leaning against a fallen tree.

"Hey," Daryl says kissing her head as he walks past.

She smiles looking at him as he walks away to his tent. "You together with him?" Glenn asks.

"From friends to lovers," she says putting her head on his shoulder.

He smiles as she closes her eyes. "As long as you take it easy," he says softly grabbing her hand.

She takes it and squeezes it three times only to get four back. She smiles softly as Daryl joins the group for dinner around the fire.
