ACTIONS AND CONSEQUENCES
———

DARYL AND MAEVE LAID IN BED appreciating their peaceful slumber, for once Maeve didn't wake up a million times in the night due to nightmares. For once, she slept through the whole night next to Daryl. It just seemed right, like a pice of the puzzle finally coming together now that they had done this. Now that they have taken that intimate step in admitting their true feelings.

Although, the world had other plans for their peaceful morning, seeing as it wasn't only the birds that were determined to wake them up. When suddenly the bedroom door swung open, hitting the wall behind it with a loud bang. Causing both Maeve and Daryl to jolt awake in bed on high alert, both of them now sitting up as they stared at the door.

They hadn't even processed what they were looking at when the person who stood there yelled, "What. The. Fuck."

That just so happened to be when they clued in, Maeve's eyes focusing in on Milo who was standing in the doorway. His eyes wide as he stared at the two in bed, both of them having messed up hair and guilty looks on their faces.

Daryl and Maeve jumped out of bed, both of them in very little clothes. They were quickly grabbing their clothes that littered the floor and throwing them on after Milo told them, "Meet me downstairs." In an angry low tone.

Once Maeve had her pants on and one of Daryl's muscle t-shirts that was closest to her, she made her way towards the door when Daryl grabbed her wrist and stopped her, "What's our plan?"

"He's your brother, I'll follow your lead." Maeve stated, but Daryl didn't seem to like that plan. Seeing as he has never had to have this kind of conversation with Milo before, but there is a first time for everything.

So, Daryl took Maeve's hand and guided her down the stairs. Making sure that when they stepped into the living room, they were not holding hands. Not wanting to poke the bear even more, especially when Milo isn't an angry person and based on the daggers that he was throwing at them both—he seemed very angry.

When Milo saw them, he crossed his arm and looked between them, making Daryl and Maeve feel like they were getting in trouble by a parent. Although there was no humour in this situation, and Maeve couldn't help but chew at the inside of her cheek waiting for the bomb to go off.

"How long have you guys been seeing each other?" Milo asked, his face twisting up an a disgust as he thought about it. "How long have you both been hiding this from me?"

"Couple days." Daryl simply answered, not wanting to say to much to make his brother angry even further. He will just get right to the point and accept what he gets, and Maeve will stand there and let Daryl deal with his brother.

Milo looked to Daryl, thankfully seeming to forget about Maeve for the moment, "Did you just not think to tell me—Oh my god, is she why you've been so distant, why you've been so in your head lately? Because you couldn't tell me that you were fucking my best friend!"

When Daryl didn't respond, only looked over his shoulder at Maeve. Who was already looking at him, feeling guilty even more now. She never wanted to put wrench in Milo and Daryl's relationship, she had no idea Daryl was pulling away from his brother because of her.

"I didn't know how to tell ya, Mi. I'm sorry, I didn't want ya to find out like this." Daryl stated, his face apologetic as he looked at his brother. Hoping that Milo will be able to forgive him, Daryl always knew that Milo could take his relationship with Maeve one of two ways, unfortunately he was taking it the wrong way.
