Survive - Daryl Dixon - Follow The Plot Fanfic

Seven

⚠️

I start to raid the fridge and cupboards, Beth and Daryl join in when they come back upstairs.

"Dammit." I mumble as they walk past me.

Daryl gently runs his hand along my lower back. 

"Nothing?" He asks.

I move myself away and shake my head, we keep looking through the cupboards until Daryl strikes a jackpot. Two whole cupboards packed full of food.

"Peanut Butter and Jelly, Diet Soda and Pigs Feet. That's a white trash brunch right there." Daryl narrates.

"It all looks good to me." Beth says as she takes some cans.

I sit in a chair at the table behind them as they stand shoulder to shoulder.

"No, hold up. Ain't a speck of dust on this." Daryl points out.

"So?" Beth asks.

"That means someone just put it here. This is someone's stash. Maybe they're still alive... Alright, we'll take some of it, we'll leave the rest, alright?"

"I knew it." Beth turns to Daryl.

"Knew what?" I ask from across the room, obviously pissed.

"There are still good people." She replies, looking up at Daryl, obviously flirting with him.

He looks at her for a second before digging his fingers into a jar of jelly and shoving some into his mouth, humming in approval.

"Gross." Beth mumbles and turns to walk away.

"Hey, those Pigs feet. They're mine." He states.

When we've all had a little to eat, Daryl and I go outside to set up another noise trap. 

"Hey Princess, what's wrong? You've been acting a little off since Beth hurt her ankle."

"I'm fine." I reply sharply.

"Are you sure? I saw you getting upset on the way in here."

I sigh softly and look at him, tearing up. 

"Daryl. If I tell you, do you promise not to get mad."

"Yeah, what's up?" He keeps setting up the trap.

"I don't like that Beth is flirting with you and getting so close with you, physically..."

"So... you're jealous?" He asks, stopping what he's doing to look at me.

"You could say that." I mumble, looking down.

"Oh, Princess, why?" He asks, sounding like he genuinely cares.

"You know, I've never had a good romantic relationship. You are the closest I've ever had to a healthy relationship, even if we aren't officially together. So seeing you with other people like that is.. difficult." My voice cracking a little as I speak.

He walks over and wraps his arms around me.

"I didn't know you thought about me like that... What can I do to make it up to you?" 

I blush softly and look up at him. 

"We could... finish what we started earlier... at the shack..?" I mumble, wrapping my arms around his shoulders.

He smirks softly and slowly snakes his arms around my waist, pressing himself against me.

"Absolutely Princess." He kisses me deeply.

 I gasp as I wasn't expecting it and he quickly pulls away, thinking he went too far. I look at him for a second and pull him back into the kiss, humming softly. After a few seconds he moves away and starts to gently kiss at my neck.
