Fighting for our Future {TWD Daryl Dixon}

57: Rock, Paper, Fire?

TW: Smut in the beginning. Sexual harassment (Not linked with the smut). And mentions of self harm.

2 Months Later:

When the geeks had crashed through the wall two months ago, some of us didn't make it out alive. Everyone from our original group had, but the same can't be said for the Alexandrians. Among the fallen is Jessie, Ron, Sam, and Deanna. 

I had felt bad for my Dad after Jessie died. They had gotten really close and I thought they were going to get together finally. I guess I was wrong.

Jessie's son Sam was the reason for his mom's death, along with his own. Sam was apparently freaking out while in the middle of the herd and ended up getting bit in the process. Jessie couldn't handle the loss of her son and completely shut down, causing her demise.

Ron, Jessie's oldest son. There is no one to blame for his death but himself. Apparently Carl had gotten into a fight with Ron, defending both me and Seb. Ron had been blaming me for his father's death, and had blamed Sebastian for stealing Enid away from him. After Carl defended us, Ron decided that Carl had to die. Michonne killed Ron, but in the process of her blade entering him, a bullet left his gun. The bullet went into Carl's head, through his eye.

Carl is lucky to be alive.

Deanna, her death was hard to hear about. She had been bitten and instead of shooting herself with her last bullet, she used herself as bait for the herd. Before Dad left her, he told me that she had given him four letters. One for each of her sons, Maggie, and Me.

It took me a while to open Deanna's letter, but I finally opened it one night when I was feeding Theodore and Avalon. The letter had stated her last few requests for me. She asked me to help my father lead this community, and watch out for her sons. I can do the second task for sure, but I'm not a leader.

Last night I had forced Glenn and Maggie to watch the twins so Daryl and I could have some much needed alone time. We hadn't had sex in almost three months, and to say the both of us were craving some skin to skin time, well that would be an understatement. We needed it. 

Before our wild night together, I found an old polaroid camera in Deanna's place when I was visiting Aiden. He told me I could have it, which led to me giving one hell of a sexy surprise to Daryl. 

I had dressed up in lingerie, and did a boudoir photo shoot for him. He wasn't the one taking the photos. I wanted to surprise him, so I asked Rosita to help me. With most of my baby weight gone, I was feeling okay about my body again, hence the photos.

Giving Daryl the photos was a sneaky and daring task. I could have chosen to do it while we were alone. I could have. But I didn't.  A bunch of us were eating dinner around the dining table and I slipped the pictures to him under the table.  He almost choked when he saw what I had handed him.

And that leads us to this moment, where we are both completely naked in our bed. 

He was still asleep, from our fun and long night. I know I could wake him up in a second if I wanted to. He is the world's lightest sleeper. Instead of waking him up though, I stayed in his arms and stared up at his face. 

I'm so lucky that I get to call this man mine. I never in my life have felt more loved, safe, or wanted as I do with this man laying beside me. 

I'd be absolutely nothing without him.

I owe him everything.

He finally woke up and yawned, before tilting his head down to look at me. I placed a hand on his chest before shifting my body on top of his, so I was straddling him. He slightly sat up, making sure to not move me from my position. His hands traveled up my body in a feather like movement until they got to my face. He cupped my face and roughly pulled my head closer to his so he could kiss me.
