Merle Dixon Imagine (Haileigh)

(A/n: This imagine is for @haile132001 I hope you like it.)
"Alright, I need two more people to come with Daryl and me on a run." Rick stated while putting on his holster. "I'll go." Merle's raspy voice sent chills down your body. "I'm going too." You stepped out from behind the group (you're not exactly the tallest). Merle grunted when he saw you. "Alright Daryl, Merle, Haileigh and I are going. The rest of you guys will do jobs around here assigned to you by Carol." The group immediately dispersed. You went to try and talk to Merle, but he just walked away from you toward the car.

    The car ride was awkward. Merle tried to make himself as small as possible so he wouldn't even so much as touch you. Unfortunate for him, he got paired up with you when you all spilt up.
    After a while of silence, you decided to confront him. "Why are you avoiding me, Merle?" He continued to just walk around the little store ignoring you. "Oh wow the silent treatment. For what? Telling you that I love you. Spilling my feelings out for you. A simple 'I don't feel the same' would've been fine, not this."
"Save it Haileigh."
"No Merle. You flirt with me and make me fall for you, but once I start falling you aren't there to catch me." You mentally slap yourself for being so corny. "I can't believe I fell for a dick like you!"
"That's exactly why! I'm a dick who doesn't deserve a 'happy ending', to get the sweet, pretty, and perfect girl. You deserve so much better Haileigh. I'm a worthless piece of shit!" You broke his walls. You were the first person to get to see Merle broken and you knew that you had to fix him. "You are not worthless. You are everything to me and I will not let minor flaws destroy that. I love you Merle and don't you dare try to push me away again." He walked over to you and kissed you with all the hurt and pain from his past. "I love you too Haileigh."
