The ride back to the prison seemed to have gone on forever, the pair sat in an uncomfortable silence, Daryl seemed tense and Rick had to force himself from saying anything, he thought a bit of peace between them would help.
He kept asking himself if it really happened? Was it a dream? Was the need of the world finally getting to him?
The only way he could determine what had happened was actually real was the wetness on his lips, no matter what distance they put between themselves and the place it occurred, he could still feel it.
The confusion was clouding his mind, did Daryl know of his feelings before he was even aware of them himself? What did he feel towards the hunter and vice versa? So many thoughts and questions flew through his head, leaving him with a headache.
As soon as he spotted the familiar gates of the prison they now called home he was pulled from his thoughts, he normally like to linger around Daryl and the others after a day out searching but this time he could not wait to have some space.
As soon as the car came to a stop he jumped out and almost ran into Glenn "hey guys, anything bad happen out there? Did you manage to get anything?" He smiled whilst brushing his fringe aside.
Both men exchanged glances before looking away almost instantly, "Sorry Glenn we didn't find anything and there weren't any incidents, is everything all clear here?" He asked.
"Nothing interesting here, Maggie and Axel are on watch and Carol is making dinner, which I think should be done soon. I am going to check on the watch crew so I will see you indoors" he said before running off.
As Rick turned around he noticed that Daryl had stormed off in the direction of the mesh hall, he did not want to follow the man but he was practically starving, so he took a slower stroll there and decided to keep his
Distance.
His heart was beating heavily as he walked into the mesh hall but luckily he did not spot the redneck at all, feeling slightly disappointed he grabbed a plate of food and wolfed it down before disappearing out of sight.
He decided to go and find Daryl to seek answers to the questions that had been plaguing his mind since the incident when Carol had stopped in his tracks "Hey Rick, I've put Judith to bed in my cell so you can have a decent nights sleep for once" she said looking him up and down.
"Are you sure Carol, I don't mind having her" he asked, feeling that Carol could see into him and know what he was thinking.
"I don't mind and I am doing it regardless, don't think I haven't noticed the dark circles under your eyes, so make sure you rest up ok!" She said before patting him on the shoulder, about to walk away.
"Alright, thank you Carol, I do appreciate it" he said about to let her walk past "hey, have you seen Daryl by the way? I need to talk to him" he asked.
It felt like it took Carol an age to reply, like she knew what had happened between the men "I think he went for a shower, but make sure you go to bed after you have spoken to him ok, you look like you will keel over any minute now".
"Don't worry Carol I will" he said as they parted ways, the closer he got towards the showers the more nervous he felt, he wanted answers for what had happened earlier but now he wasn't so sure he actually wanted to hear anything he wasn't mentally prepared for.
As he came to a stop just outside the bathroom his mind seemed to hesitate on whether to go in or not, but the thought of things becoming worse between them made his mind up so he took a deep breath and walked in.
As he walked in he was hit in the face by a cloud of steam, woah that shower must have been on for a while, he could hear water running to his left so he followed the sound until a very naked Daryl came into his view.
"Is there something I can help ya with Sheriff??" The redneck asked making Rick uncomfortable and not knowing where to look.
"Erm, I just wanted to talk about what happened earlier between us, what you meant by it exactly" he asked wondering if the other man could hear how loud his heart was beating at that moment.
Daryl seemed to make him wait for his reply by turning the shower off and drying himself with a towel "what do you think it meant Rick?" He asked sarcastically.
Thoughts were flying through his head as he tried to decipher what Daryl meant without jumping to any conclusions, he must have zoned out thinking because he suddenly got a whiff of shampoo and when he focused, the other man was directly in front of him.
When their eyes met Rick felt something inside him stir, he felt like he desperately needed the touch from the other man, but when Daryl didn't seem to move any closer he decided to be brave, closing the gap between them he pressed his lips against the other.
As their lips came into contact with one another he felt Daryl stiffen almost immediately and regretted his decision, he was about to step away when the other man grabbed a fist full of his hair and kissed him back. Soon the pair of them seemed to be in a battle of dominance until the need to breath was the only thing that pulled them apart.
Daryl smirked at him and was about to say something, but he jumped in with a nervous tat "well you started it" he said, hoping he hadn't pushed the other man the wrong way.
He was expecting a sarcastic reply from he other man but instead he received a growl, (a fucking growl) and then he was pushed up against the damp wall and was being kissed again. Yet this time it wasn't like their previous kisses, this one was harsher, more desperate, the crashing of teeth and biting of lips distracted him from the fact that his zip had come undone and a hand had slid down into his underwear making him gasp.
Rick gasped as the feel of Daryl's warm calloused hand grabbed his length, the redneck took that opportunity to slide his tongue into his mouth, tasting him, revelling in the sweetness and stilling any further noise so as not to let anyone know they were there.
He didn't realise how fast time went but the next thing he knew Daryl was on his hands and knees and Rick's full length in his mouth, right down to the hilt.
He had never experimented much in his life, Lori would not even do what Daryl was doing, she was too 'proper' in that department, but hell he would have this done to him everyday if he could.
He barely suppressed a groan when the rednecks tongue went over his slit and back and forth over his length, how can something so simple feel this darn good?
He knew that if this went on for much longer than he would lose his mind "Oh god Daryl, I am so close" he whispered, not sure if the other man heard him or not, but to his surprise the motions had sped up and he was losing control.
With a few extra motions Rick came undone with a silent scream into Daryl's mouth who simply swallowed all evidence down, leaving him breathless and satisfied.
He slumped back against the wall pulling his clothes back on when Daryl stood up and walked a few steps away form him, pulling his clothes on also.
"Well that was different" he said "um thanks".
"Ya welcome" he replied as he kept his back to Rick and started to wash his face "I think you should go to bed, you look like your ready to keel over".
Without another word he left Daryl to clean up and mindlessly walked back to his cell, several thoughts ran through his head, he still needed to clear up what he and the redneck had but it will have to wait till tomorrow.
As he walked into his cell he caught his reflection in the mirror and noticed that he did have huge craters under his eyes and he needed a shower, as soon as he spread out onto his bed he was out like a light, not a single sound could wake him from his deep slumber.
