"So how was your first day?" I ask as soon as Daryl opens his front door. I had the man on my brain all day hoping his first day at work was going ok. I think I was more excited than him.

"Come in" He mocks shutting the door behind me as I walk into the living room to see Merle messing with the TV and giving it a few bangs whilst grumbling. I ignore him and face Daryl as Ghost looks up to me from lying across the Dixons shabby settee.

"Was a'right" He shrugs as I stare at him waiting for an answer. I roll my eyes and hear another bang behind me and a loud " Fucking work ye piece of shit!"

I smile and look to Merle, still struggling with the small tv.

"Least with your first pay you can buy a decent tv" I say and Daryl scoffs

"More like new bolts and rent" He mutters pulling his roll up from behind his ear and lighting it up

"Fucking stupid thing, think we'll get anything for it?" Merle turns to ask us

"Whos gonna want a broken tv?" Daryl asks giving his brother a look to tell him hes an idiot

"Tip might give us something" He shrugs with an evil glare and Daryl just shrugs

"I'm pretty sure I have a tv in my loft if you want it?"

"Fuck daint ya say so, lets go get it girly!" Merle says heading for the door

I give Daryl a look and he exhales with a shrug

So thanks to me having a big heavy old tv stored in my loft Merle and Daryl were now on my landing trying to get it down.

"How the fuck you get this thing up here?" Daryl questions as Merle sits in the loft trying to pass the TV safely down to his younger brother

"Didn't, already there when I moved in, dunno if it works"

Both brothers give me a look. It had taken them 10 minutes just to move it from the back of the loft to the hole and they'de been struggling a further 5 minutes with getting it through the square hole. I laugh, I quite enjoyed watching the men struggle.

There was also apparently a recliner up there that Merle wanted so they'd be coming back another day to get that, lucky me.

"Better fuckin work" Daryl mutters and I leave them to it and make us all a drink.

Once the TV's down Daryl goes and gets his truck for it and me and Merle sit on the front step watching the TV as Ghost rolled around in play mode on the grass.

"Word around the pub is yer my bitch now" Merle says after finishing the last of his coffee and putting his cup down on the floor.

"You mean girlfriend?" I ask with a smile

"Yeah, that blonde Mindy or Milly or, somethin, told everyone ye got me wrapped apparently" he says nudging my shoulder and I laugh

"Good! deserve it after you told that lesbian I was gay, she's text me 5 times" I say and Merle chuckles

"Yeah well ya better set everyone straight, I don't get laid cause of you I'll send a horde of lesbians at ya" He threats and I laugh

"I'm sure you'll still get laid Merle,most of those women that go there aren't exactly sober enough to remember if you're taken or not" I say and he shrugs agreeing with me and I laugh when Ghost pops his head up and looks at the area of trees opposit just past the road and small fence and steps a few steps closer to it and I watch him wondering whats got him intregued, his hunter insiticts probably kicking in.

"What is it Ghost, a bird?" I ask and Ghost doesn't even look back and I laugh

"He wouldn't leave ma brothers side over the weekend, good fucking hunter though" Merle says and I smile
