Woods

We all had been walking for a few days, all just heading in a direction we didn't know where but we was walking, we had all stop to rest and collect ourselves, i seen Daryl walk off and decided I should really go talk to him "hey Carl can you watch Judy for me" he nodded as you passed him the baby "Rick, I'm going to see Daryl don't worry if you can't see me" Rick smirked but nodded

You walking into the wooded area where you seen Daryl go, following the foot marks he had left in the dirt, "following me I see" the ruff voice spoke behind you, you turned with a smile " will always follow you" you blushed "I know we haven't really spoke since I found you guys but I really missed you" you told the man stood in front of you "I really missed you to babe" the word babe leaving his mouth was something you'd never thought you'd here again, but the way your heart reacted to it was something else.

It's like he just realised what he said and started to blush "I ...I didn't mean that" you shrugged and smiled "I liked it" you looked at Daryl as he looked at you intensely "I wanted to talk to you before Phillip came and we got separated" you sat down against a tree opposite him "yeah what did you want-a talk about" "okay, umm obviously if I'm looking at things all wrong just correct me and we will go about our day like nothing happened, but I really bloody like you" you stuttered out avoiding eye contact with him

His lips tugged into a smile, "I don't think you was reading it wrong" you was shocked as you looked up to him " what" "I don't think you was wrong because I really like you to Lee" a smile spread across your face "iv liked you for a long time, didn't actually ever think you'd like me though Merle Rick Glenn even Carl has told me you do before everything went to shit at the prison , and then Abraham , rosita bob and even Eugene said they thought we was together" he laughed out a breath, it felt good talking about it "did they, I didn't hear any of this" "well you was hugging Rick Carl and Judy, they was confused cause they thought we was together and then they seen you guys and then Judy called you mama and it shocked them" you nodded after he spoke understanding the confusing "it is confusing but I wouldn't change it, if you want we can start slow, I don't want to rush into anything dar I don't want to destroy our friend ship, but I'll never stop caring for Judy and Carl" he looked you in the eyes "I'd never stop you, your the best mother to children that aren't biologically yours, I can't wait to see what your like with you own" he realised what he said and blushed bright red "um not not like I'm planning kids with you" you laughed hitting his shoulder "oh dar, don't worry I get it"

Both your laughs come to an end as you stared at each other the heart beat in your chest felt like it was going to rip out any second, you seen Daryl slowly lean in staring at your lips, you bit your lips staring at his you though fuck it and kissed him

The feelings that erupted in your belly was sometching you had never experienced before, you didn't want it to stop you loved it, you grabbed his face in your hands and deepened the kiss he wrapped his hand around your waist as he smiled into the kiss, you slowly pulled away smiling as well resting you head on his head "wow" Daryl whispered "if I knew it would feel like that would have done it ages ago" you blushed at his worlds "we should get back" you whispered and pecked his lips again getting up helping him up and walking back to the others.

You all walked further until you heared people shouting help, "come on dad , Lee we need to help" that was it Carl was off running, we ran off with him "Carl bud slow down" you shouted after him, you came to a clearing two men sat on a rock not knowing how to get away from the walkers surrounding them "Lee be careful" Daryl sternly spoke up as I took action and helped the men "thank you thank you" one guy spoke "are you okay" Carl asked them both "yes thank you" you nodded "what's your names" "I'm noah this is my uncle Gabriel" "hello Noah I'm Lyric this is, Judith,Rick,Carl,Daryl,Carol,Maggie,Glenn,Abraham,Eugene,Rosita,bob,Sasha,tyreese, Tara and michonne" you nodded to everyone you was with, you hasn't even had the chance to talk to Tara yourself yet , knowing she was with Phillip put your back up slightly but also seeing how she didn't shoot one bullet out of her gun makes me see she really didn't want to be there either.

"Hello, do you have a camp" Gabriel asked you sadly smiled "no unfortunately not we are looking,do you" they both shook there head, looks like we still walk,..

You had been walking a few days now only stopping if there was a safe space to sleep, you had stopped at a bridge a few miles back to push the herd that had been following you for hours in so they would leave you alone,  you had Judy most the time she seemed to be more attached to you than anyone else which you can't blame due to the weeks we spent together when we all got split up, Daryl was walking to wards the tree turned round to look at you nodded his head for you to follow "hey Rick can you take Judy" he looked at you as watching Daryl walk off "oh got some business to attend to huh" you pushed his shoulder telling him to shut up and followed Daryl into the woods, everyone guessed you two was a thing now you'd both walk off on your own a few times but no one really knew

Daryl walked up to you without you seeing him and pushed you against a tree, nose to nose you stood together until you pushed your lips onto each other again, "fuckk" Daryl huffed out "yeah I know" you agreed with his frustration you was both so sexually frustrated but, you never had more than a few minutes to do anything plus kissing the man was so good you never wanted to stop he gripped your face as you gripped his muscles "we should get back or try find water" you panted out "ye" he panted out kissing your lips again "we" kiss "should" kiss "but" kiss "i" kiss "don't" kiss "want" kiss "to" you giggled as he kissed you deeply once again before pulling away you grabbed his face rubbing your thumbs over his cheeks " fuck I really like you dar" "I do to baby" after his words your heart melted and you kissed him again
