Daryl Dixon was never one to show affection; especially in front of others.
He would here and there when you were alone with him. A kiss on your forehead or he'd gently rest his chin in the crook of your neck. Being alone with him was the time you got to see his softer side.
Daryl grew up without any affection or love of his own. Which you believed was the reason he strayed away from it. It was hard at times, as you watched how in love Glenn and Maggie were, and how they weren't afraid to show it.
Even the small kisses Beth shared with her boyfriend made you crave that with Daryl. But you respected his limits and how the relationship with him worked.
One day it all changed, when he suddenly grasped your hand in his. The feeling warm and loving, yet shocking you in the best way.
You wouldn't ever want to change Daryl... And that tiny gesture made up for any missing kisses. This was his way of telling you he loved you... Without words and without public displays of affection.
