Two Broken Ones (Daryl Dixon X Male OC)

28. Not My Type

Lowell stood with his sword on his back and gun in holster, leaning against the wall near where impala was parked as he waited for everyone to get together because they needed to go for a run. Daryl, Zach, Tyreese and Lowell himself were going as well as one guy named Bob that they found about week ago alone in woods. Beth walked up to Lowell smiling.

"Hey, you be careful out there okay?" She said smiling as she leaned against the wall by Lowell. She toughened up over time, she took a lot out of Lowell's book, maybe a little too much. She started wearing more practical than pretty clothes, she always kept a knife that Lowell gave her back on farm on her at all times, just in case, she kept a handgun in her room because Rick didn't let people carry any around except when going out of the prison. Lowell always joked that she was a little Winchester growing, though in reality he would never want her to be anything like Winchesters, they had to endure too much shit, she didn't deserve that, no one did.

"Always." Lowell shrugged his shoulders smiling as he looked over at Beth.

"I'm serious. I don't want you dead." She said making a serious face at which Lowell just ruffled her hair making her giggle and murmur quiet complaint about messing up her hairstyle.

Zach walked over with a shotgun in his hands.

"Oh hey, I was about to come find you." He says smiling as Beth pushes herself off the wall and walking over to him, placing a kiss on his lips.

"Hi." He smiles.

"What's up?"

"Well, the council pulled back everyone on the coal crew from going on a run. They're short handed right now. I figured I'd step up to help, go with 'em. Just, you know, wanted to make sure that I saw you before." Zach said looking at Beth. Lowell chuckled quietly somewhere on the background while listening to the conversation. Zach obviously tried to impress the girl and it was funny. Teenagers are always funny.

"Okay." Beth shrugged her shoulders dismissively like not catching up on Zach's attempts to flirt and appear cool. Though Lowell knew better than that, she was just pretending to mock her boyfriend.

"I just... 'cause, you know, it's dangerous going out there." He said looking at her.

"I know." Beth smiled and kissed Zach's cheek before walking off.

"Okay, are you gonna say goodbye?" Zach called out watching her leave.

"Nope." Bath said grinning to herself as she walked off.

"That's my girl." Lowell mumbled proudly of Beth's prideful antics. She learned her worth and developed quite an ego over her time around Lowell, because Winchesters are prideful bitches and it's hard not to take page from their books.

"It's like a damn romance novel." Daryl grumbled looking at two lovesick teenagers as he walked over with a box full of stuff they may need on the run.

"Why? Envy? You want a goodbye kiss too? I can give you one, come here." Lowell teased as he wrapped arm around Daryl's shoulders, pretending to lean over to kiss his cheek. He wouldn't actually do it. Too many eyes around them. Daryl kept his distance form making anything that's between them look like anything but platonic friendship out on people. Lowell picked that much up pretty quickly, not that he minded, in the moment he was just messing with him and Daryl luckily understood that, chuckling and shaking Lowell off playfully. Lowell chuckled himself before letting Daryl go. Zach laughed at the antics of the two.

Everyone was in place soon enough, Lowell, Glenn and Zach hopped in the impala, Bob, Sasha, Tyreese hopped into the other car. while Daryl was driving his bike. On their way to the gates they saw Mishone arrive after her another scavenging trip to find the Governor. Lowell saw her talk to Rick and Daryl before hopping into the other car and they moved out.
