no time to die | daryl dixon

023 | late nights.

"hey beth." lillian said while walking up to the blonde girls room "hello lillian." the younger girl said with a smile. "i missed you." beth continued "yeah, i missed you too." lillian said with a small smile "it's different now." beth said "yeah, it is." lillian nodded "you were a lot younger when i left, i'm sorry." lillian said before leaving the girls room once again.

"hey glenn." lillian said with a smile "hi lily." glenn said with a sigh "so what happened?" lillian said with a smile "what? what makes you think something happened?" glenn said with widened eyes. "i saw the smile on your face when you guys came back." lillian said while pushing her shoulder against his. "we had sex." glenn whispered, making lillian's eyes go wide "you can't say anything! to anyone!" glenn whisper yelled "i won't, you can trust me." lillian's said with a smile.

"daryl's back." glenn said "ew." lillian said making glenn slightly laugh "why ew?" glenn asked as they walked to camp "because he left without me, we were supposed to look for sophia together." lillian said with a sigh "he said goodbye to stella and told her he didn't want to bring me along in case something went wrong." lillian continued making glenn laugh "he's whipped." glenn said making lillian roll her eyes. "or he doesn't want my child to end up without a mother." lillian said "yeah, if you did die, you and i both know he would take care of her like she was his own." glenn said making her sigh.

"i hate you." she said with a small laugh "you love me actually." glenn said with a laugh. daryl was jealous as he watched lillian and glenn laugh with one another, he didn't know why he was jealous but he was. "stella fell asleep on the chair next to carls bed so i just moved her to your old bedroom, hershel said it would be okay." shane said making lillian nod her head with a small smile as a thank you.

by the time the sun had set, majority of the group had been asleep, lillian had always been a light sleeper so when she had heard someone walking outside she tensed up though she hadn't heard any low growls so she didn't think it was a walker. lillian couldn't sleep so she got out of her tent slowly and walked to the fence, leaning against it for some fresh air.

"hey." she heard a voice quietly from next to her, she slightly jumped and turned to the right to see daryl "oh hi." she replied before looking up at the moon "why are you out here? it's dangerous y'know." daryl said making lillian chuckle "same question applies to you." she said quietly.

"smart ass." daryl said quietly before leaning against the fence with her. "i just couldn't sleep, needed some air." she said after a moment, answering his question from before. "i heard you get up and i really didn't want you out here alone." daryl said quietly "aw, you care about me." lillian said jokingly "thought that was obvious already." he said with a chuckle "nah, not really." she replied.

"or your oblivious." he said quietly "am not." she said while pushing her shoulder against his causing him to smile slightly. "i have a feeling you'll survive this." she said causing him to look at her with a confused expression on his face "so will you." he said "i don't think so, but who knows." she said.

"are you scared?" he asked making her look at him tiredly "of dyin' i mean." he continued "i used to be, not anymore though." she replied, continuing to look at him. daryl nodded while keeping eye contact with the girl "uh.. we should probably go back to bed. goodnight daryl." she said nervously before walking back to her tent for the night.

daryl rubbed a hand over his face before walking back to his tent that was next to lillian's, he shouldn't have gone out to check on her because now she was invading his mind while he tried to sleep. since the day he met her he knew there was
something there, a friendship, or more. he just couldn't tell yet.
