"So, I was wondering if ya might be up to helping me take a shower," Daryl asked shyly. The shower chair finally came and the thought of getting a real shower sounded incredible.
"After soup and yea that would be great , however you sure you can keep your hands to yourself" Nikki Teased
"I make no promises," Daryl smirked. "I mean, if you really want me to, I'll be good, but..."
"But what mr" Nikki stood there with her hands on her hips like a old school teacher
"I think you're the one who won't be keeping her hands to herself."
"Am I gonna have to punish you mr Dixon?"
"Depends on the kind of punishment we're talking about, Ms. Grimes," Daryl grinned as he pulled her in for a kiss.
Nikki took in every moment of the kiss it made her feel alive and wanted , she then Slowly pulled back
"Damn if you were at full health I would be so darn rough with you , instead your gonna eat your soup we're then gonna shower together I'll need to support you as you won't have your brace on then we're gonna lay and snuggle how does that sound"
"It sounds perfect, sweet girl. Absolutely perfect."
After dinner, Daryl headed straight to the bathroom.
"I hope you know that I just talked to your chair for like two minutes before I realized that you weren't in it," Nikki scolded.
"You should probably get more rest, sweetheart," Daryl laughed.
"Well looking after you is darn tiring sometimes dog is better behaved than you , now how we doing this , do you wanna get undressed then get in the shower and I'll remove the brace then and you can lean into me or are we removing the brace before you get in"
"I can't sit still, honey. I can't help it. Never was any good at it. I think I'd feel better if I got in the shower and then take the brace off. I'm not ready to try to move much without it yet."
"Ok baby let's do this"
Nikki helped him remove his sweat pants and t-shirt and guided him to the shower using his walker, once they were in there she removed her clothes tossing them over the side then helped him to remove the brace and undershirt , Slowly bringing him into her
"You ok baby just gonna switch the shower on ok"
Daryl nodded against her. It felt so good to have his arms around her waist and his head against her. She was his comfort in all of this madness and he was grateful for every second he had with her.
Nikki gently ran the sponge over his back , seeing the scars there broke her heart but she knew she had to be strong for him .
"Would you like me to wash your hair for you?"
"Yeah, that'd be nice. Thank you for doing this for me, sweetheart."
"Hey I love you silly of course I'm gonna do this for you now make sure you close your eyes ok , not washed long hair for along time but let's do this"
Nikki never told him after beaus attack she had lost her hair due to the stress it was finally growing back but was still short.
"Mmmm, baby, feels so good," Daryl moaned. "Love the way your fingers feel in my hair."
"I could do this all night long, my love. It makes me happy to make you feel good."
"Yea love this so much it's so darn nice ya def got the magic touch baby, um one thing how we gonna get me out of here ya know I'm gonna be wet and the brace and everything" Daryl sounded panicked
