Daryl : "Daryl! We have to tell them at some point, quit being such a baby!" You said crossing your arms over your chest. "I ain't being no baby! We'll tell em'. Just...later." he said. You looked at him skeptically. He sighed, swinging an arm around you and pulling you into a hug. You relaxed into the hug taking a deep breath. "I promise babe...we will," he whispered.
Daryl said he had some stuff to take care of with Rick and headed off. You turned around the corner and froze seeing Carol. Your eyes widened seeing her. She was staring back at you. "Oh, hey Carol...how long have you been here?" you asked innocently. Carol smirked, "long enough."
"Please don't tell anyone!" you blurted suddenly. Carol only just continued smirking and turned around walking away. "Carol! Please!" you begged. Carol waved you off, "yeah yeah, whatever I won't," she said. You sighed with relief hearing that.
Later during a meeting there was an argument going down and you quietly walked in and stood next to Daryl. "Carol you can't keep secrets like that from us!" Rick said. "Why is it always me who gets blamed?" she said angrily. "Now Carol-" Rick began. "No, no. I'm not the only one keeping secrets around here! Let's start with Maggie, hm? She's pregnant!" She announced. Everyone looked to Maggie who had a sheepish smile. "And what about (Y/N)?" she continued. Your heart stopped hearing that. "She and Daryl are dating!" Carol said bluntly. She then stopped, exhaling and leaning back. You looked up at Daryl who's face was bright red. You too felt your face heating up, feeling everyone looking at you. "Y'all are dating?" Maggie asked. You shyly nodded, and then looked up at Daryl again. "Well, you said later..."

Carl : Most of the group knew you liked each other. Just no one said anything.
You were at the prison still. You and Carl were on the steps together in the main cell block, cuddling and watching Judith play with some toys. No one else was around so you both felt fine doing PDA, kissing a few times and curling up together. Until, Lizzie came in. "Hey Carl, what's the best way to catch a mouse and-oh my gosh!" she said, her eyes widening seeing you both. You both immediately pushed apart scooting to opposite ends of the step, blushing like mad. "L-Lizzie! I thought you were outside with Mica..." Carl said bashfully, rubbing the back of his neck. "I was, but you guys are seriously dating?" she squealed. "Lizzie please don't say anything! We want to tell everyone!" you begged. She smiled, "I won't don't worry (Y/N)." Then skipping off out of the cell block.
Of course, Lizzie told everyone.
No one really cared that much, but they still teased both of you about it. Especially Rick, Michonne, Carol, and Glenn.

Rick : After you had got together, you didn't really want to keep it a secret. Especially from Carl. You told him first.
"Hey Carl, c'mere for a second" Rick called, waving his boy over. Carl hurried over, raising a brow at both of you. "Yeah? What's up?" he asked. "Carl...(Y/N) and I are together," Rick said calmly putting a strong hand around your waist. Carl looked surprised but then quickly relaxed. "Carl? You okay?" You asked bending down and putting a hand on his shoulder. You and Carl were fairly close and had bonded, you didn't want this to ruin that. He nodded, a soft smiling forming on his lips. "I'm fine. It'll take some getting used to, but I'm fine with this," he said. You smiled, amazed how mature Carl has gotten and pulled him into a hug, Rick soon wrapping his arms around both of you. So this was having a family again? You loved it. Eventually the rest of the group found out, but it wasn't that big of a deal, except now people definitely knew not to mess with you.
