Daryl Dixon Imagines

I Love You

By dixongrimestrash on Tumblr

The day was winding down and all you wanted to do was curl up on the couch with a good book. You had finished your final shift for the night at the guard post and eagerly walked to your Alexandrian home.

Your boyfriend Daryl should be home soon from his run with Aaron and you had missed him. He had been very busy going out everyday, but you were happy Daryl was starting to fit in here.

You walked inside and took your boots off putting them next to the door. You shrugged your jacket off and threw it over the dining room table chair.

You went up into the room you and Daryl shared and pulled your shirt over your head, followed by your bra.

You picked up Daryl’s black button up shirt that was folded neatly on the dresser and put it on. You took off your skin tight jeans and changed into some running tights.

Pulling your hair up into a pony tail you walked back downstairs. You sat down crisscross at the end of the couch. Daryl had brought you books from a run a while back and you picked one up from the coffee table and leaned back scanning each word written.

The night went on and you had finished one of the books your boyfriend had gotten for you.

Noticing how late it was, you started to give up on hope that Daryl would be back tonight. It wasn’t unlike him, sometimes it takes a few days to find some supplies or even people. Knowing Daryl he wouldn’t want to come back home empty handed.

Your hope was restored when you heard voices outside on your porch. The front door opened and in walked the man you’d take a bullet for.

You smiled feeling relaxed knowing he was here and he was safe.

Daryl laid his crossbow down and kicked off his shoes. His eyes met yours and he looked surprised to see you still up.

“Hey, I wanted to wait up for you.”

“You didn’t have to.” Daryl replied walking over to you. He sat down on the couch and you scooted closer to him laying your head on his shoulder.

Daryl wasn’t much for affection but he has learned to open up and bit, trusting you makes it easier for him.

“I wanted too. So how did it go? Find anything good?” You asked turning to face him, giving Daryl your full attention.

“Nah, few cans of food.” Daryl shrugged.

You could tell something was bothering him. His gaze wouldn’t meet yours and you felt like he wanted to tell you something but didn’t know how.

“Are you okay? If you are too tired to talk, we can just go to bed.” You said trying to read him, which normally for you was very easy to do.

“Nah it’s not that it’s..” Daryl trailed off still avoiding your gaze. “Today, all I could think about was you.”

“What’s wrong with that?” You asked almost cracking a smile.

“Nothin, it’s just..” Daryl signed trying to find the right words. “I just love ya Y/N. Damn I love you.”

You were shocked, you and Daryl have been together for a while but have never said the three most important words you could ever say in a relationship. You never expected Daryl to be the one to say it first.

“Shit, that was stupid, forget I said anythin.” Daryl said backtracking. He stood up but you grabbed his hand making him look down at you.

“Daryl, I love you too.” You pulled him down and grabbed his cheeks. “I have for such a long time.”

Daryl let a sigh of relief out and you pulled him toward you, crashing his lips onto yours.

The kiss brought passion, and every time you two would kiss you would instantly melt under his touch.

The two of you broke apart and you hugged his neck making him fall backwards onto the couch with a grunt followed by a chuckle. You straddled his waist and intertwined your fingers with his. “Is that my shirt?” Daryl asked and you blushed looking away.

“Sorry, I just thought-”

“Nah, Y/N it’s fine. You look great.” Daryl smiled making the butterflies in your stomach go crazy.

“What do you say tomorrow we go out on a run together? I mean I’m so bored up there standing guard all day. And plus I can spend more time with my favorite person.” You smiled sweetly at Daryl and he nodded making you sequel.

You laid your lead down on his chest and listened to his heartbeat. “I love you.”

His heartbeat sped up and you smiled, knowing Daryl truly loved you and only you. “Goodnight Daryl.”

“Goodnight Y/N. I love ya too.”

The two of you fell asleep on the couch, wrapped in each other’s arms, and you wouldn’t wanna have it any other way.
