Back: A Bethyl Survival Story

Just A Kiss

Just A Kiss

I awake pressed up against Beth's back. She's holding onto my arms and her legs are tangled in between mine. She rolls over and has her head laying against my forearm. Opening her eyes she gazes at me with sparkling blues.

"Why ya smilin'?" she looks at me with a questioning look.

"Cause I love wakin' up in yer arms." She giggles at her statement. I'm surprised she'd say that to me.

"Why?"

"Cause you make me feel... well safe." Probably not her first option in what she'd say, but most likely her safest.

"Oh." I roll over an she ends up coming with me. Laying on my chest, she looks down into my eyes. I try hard to think my erection down. But sadly it's too powerful to be persuaded.

"Well I think we should have some breakfast." Getting up she sprints out of bed, leaving me to my self misery.

Getting out of the room is a challenge. My leg is killing me, but I try to walk normal.

"I'm going huntin'." I grab a gun and Beth stops me. I don't know where Ian or Sarag are, but they defiantly aren't in the house.

"No, not on that leg. Yer gonna stay. I'll make a run to the store in town. Sides, you don't have yer crossbow and guns are to loud." She puts me in a chair an takes the gun I had.

"Then I'll make the run with you...."

"No Daryl. Yer not huntin or going on the run!" Her face becomes beat red and I can help but get a like pissed off. "Besides, I know how to track and I'm patient. So get over it yer not huntin'."

"Why?" I can't take just sitting here and she knows it. She gives me a saddened glance.

"You know why." Taking a deep breath she looks at me and then the floor. "Cause if you lose me, it's nothing... but if I lose you, huh, what's the point in living?"

She tries to walk past me but I grab her arm and pull her into my lap. I kiss her as gently, but as passionately forceful as I can. At first she seems freaked out, but then she relaxes into the kiss. I can tell she's never really kissed before cause she kinda sucks at it, but she soon learns how to. Releasing her from my grasp, she just looks at me.

"It ain't nothing if I lose you." I say and she blushes three different shades of pink. She scampers off to grab her boots so she can leave on her run. I tell Sarah to go with her and he does. After they leave, I think about that kiss.

I ain't ever kissed anyone like that. Her lips were so perfect and her taste.... man I should just stop this. It's not right. But then again normal world rules don't apply any more. I look at my leg. Just slightly black and blue on my thigh, but nothing too bad.

It was just a kiss... wasn't it? I mean, it probably meant nothing to her. I kinda hope it does though.

It's a couple of hours before I start to worry. It shouldn't have taken them so long to get supplies from the store. I can't help think that something might've happened. I hobble upstairs to our room so I can keep a look out for em. Ian comes in.

"So are you two together?"

"No. She's jus my friend."

"Sarah and I saw you kiss. Friends don't just kiss. Do you like her?" This kid is so annoying I could just punch him.

"Uhh, no. That's off the table."

"But you do like her? I can tell." Ian leans against the wall.

"Can you maybe go downstairs and keep watch. I'm tryin to watch this side if the house. See if they're coming."

"Sure. I'll hollar if I see em." Please don't.

"Okay." Ian leaves and I sit on the bed. How the hell am I gonna figure out how I feel bout Beth. Do I focus on what's right or what we want?

I can't help but fall asleep. Then I hear screaming. Shit! Running down stairs the basement doors open and two walkers are basically already done with their dinner... on the menu Ian. I grab my knife and shove it in the ones temple. I have no choice but to kick the one back down the basement steps. It smacks it's head on the hard ground and dies. I look at Ian. There's no saving him. Stabbing him in the head, I tumble him down the stairs along with the other walker.

"Fuck!" Well this sucks. How am I gonna explain this to Sarah and Beth. Speaking of the Angel, stop it. Beth runs in the door and slams it behind her. Something's off? Then I notice it. She's covering her chest, because she has no shirt and no bra on. Kinda a odd way to hunt and hater if you ask me. She looks battered and scared. I don't see Sarah coming, so I pay it no mind. "Beth where's your top?"

Starting to cry, she throws herself into my arm. I can feel her naked chest against mine and it feels good, but I don't dare look down.

"Sarah and I were at this store and.... an this guy was living in it and said we could have what we wanted for a trade. Next thing I knew he threw me up against a wall and shoved his tongue down my throat! He pulled my shirt and bra off and... and he touched me all over!" She cries into my chest and grips at my shirts with clenched fists. "Sarah tried to pull him off but her cut her and she bled out. When he turned back to me, I spit in his face and kicked him in the groin. I got away, but...."

I can't stand her crying. It hurts too much. I wrap my arms around her and then scoop her up under her knees and carry her like a baby upstairs. Leaving her on the bed I grab her one of the shirts in the closet and search for a bra. There's no luck, considering they're all very large and she's very petit.

Sliding on the shirt, I walk over to her.

"Are you okay though? He didn't hurt you sides what he did?" She shakes her head no and grabs me around my waist. Her head is pressed against my stomach. I just hold her there and then I have to tell her about Ian. "Ian found walkers in the basement when I was upstairs... he didn't make it."

She just cries hard and I get on my knees. I hate seeing her like this. I brush a strand of hair out of her face and then hold her cheeks in my hands. To my surprise, she leans forward and kisses me. I kiss back, until she lets go.

"I'm glad, you're okay." She says and wraps her arms tightly around my neck. So it wasn't just a kiss.

" I'm glad you're alright. I..." I wanna say I love her, but at the same time, I don't know what love is. "I'm glad you're okay, Beth."

Pussy.
