The Walking Dead Preferences

First 'Date'

Daryl Dixon:

I drove the knife through the soft rotten flesh of the walker just as I saw Michonne walking up to relieve me from my shift. I smiled at her as I headed toward my cell, I saw the kids all playing in the front of the cellblock. Beth rocking Judith and softly singing her a song, Carl cleaning his gun and everyone else just going about their day. I shook my head softly as I stepped into my cell, I never thought I would see anything like this again. I heard the curtain to my cell being pulled open and heavy boots step into the room. I turned to see Daryl, his tall frame towering over me as always. I reached up and cupped his face, bringing his lips to mine. I felt the corners of his mouth form a smile as he pulled away "C'mon" His raspy voice instructed me, I grinned. The thrill of curiosity shooting through me as Daryl lead the way. He brought me to a ladder on the side of the prison, "after you" He said sending me a smirk. I pulled myself all the way up to the top where I saw an old blanket laid on the ground and a few snack bags of chips, a bottle of some kind of whiskey and my favorite type of candy. I stepped over the ledge and Daryl climbed over and sat on the blanket. I looked at him, "I- I don't..." I stumbled over my words trying to find the right thing to say, Daryl grabbed my hand and pulled me down to the blanket. "I just thought you could use a break, that's all," He said gruffly, his tough guy persona breaking slightly. I rested my head on his shoulder and kissed his neck gently "Thank you, Daryl" I said softly between kisses.

Carl Grimes:

I settled on a high branch in the magnolia tree with Carl, he kept picking off unbloomed flowers and dropping them on walkers that passed by. I watched him carefully, taking in all of his features as if I'd never look at him again. "what do you want, Carl?" I asked him carefully, he looked over at me and shrugged "I-I want us to be safe" He smiled at me "What about you?" He asked, the question ran through my mind. I wanted a lot of things..and it made me feel selfish. I wanted a home, safety, a big bag of Cheetos, maybe even a family one day. But maybe we don't get to have those things anymore, not in this world. I sighed "I'm not sure yet, but...I like you" I felt a blush creep onto my cheeks as the words left my lips. His face lit up and a grin broke out across his face. "I like you too," He said climbing closer to me in the tall branches, he straddled a sturdy branch and I mimicked his movement and sat in front of him. He reached up and cupped my face, and pressed his lips to mine gently. Our lips moved together in unison, my stomach flipped and filled with butterflies. Each time we kissed was just like the first, making my heart skip a beat or two. We stayed up in the tree talking and kissing until we realize how dark it had gotten around us and we headed back to the farm, hand in hand.

Rick Grimes:

I had just gotten Emma to fall asleep, she and Judith share a cell so I checked on her one more time before I ducked out of the room and shut the curtain. Everyone was heading to bed except for Rick, who seemed to be looking for something. I came down the stairs and Rick looked over at me and flashed a smile before continuing his search. "What are you looking for?" I wondered, just then he held up a key and said "this, come with me" and grabbed my hand before we headed out the door and down a hallway I'd never been through. Eventually, we reached the room that we needed the key for, Rick unlocked the door and it opened to what I can only guess was the warden's office. It was a big room with huge windows looking out to the back of the prison, the view went on and on for miles. It was beautiful! "Wow," I said with a sigh, he nodded standing next to me and intertwining our fingers. "I just wanted you to see it, you can have the key," He said with a soft, caring smile. "If you ever need a break or you could even bring the girls here. I was going to clean it out for you" I grinned at Rick, he made me so happy. I never thought Emma and I would be safe with anyone anymore. "I feel like I'm constantly thanking you" I laughed softly, "You're a wonderful man, Rick Grimes," I told him, looking up into his eyes. He smiled down at me before he sat in the old chair in front of the desk and kicked his legs up onto the desk.

Glenn Rhee:

"Hey!" Glenn shouted from behind me, I turned to see him running up to me with a huge grin. "Hey, what's going on?" I asked him as we walked together. "I'm going out to get some supplies, want to come?" He asked excitedly, ever since Glenn and I kissed we've been practically inseparable. "Sure!" I smiled and followed him down a patch he normally took. "Hey! You two be careful, and be back before dark!" Rick called to us from by the RV, we agreed and waved to everyone before walking off into the woods. Glenn and I talked about random things on our way to the city, we talked about our old jobs and our families. We eventually came to the door of an old candy shop, I looked at him curiously "what are we doing here?" I wondered, he flashed me a smile "I thought maybe we could find that chocolate you were talking about" A soft smile spread across my lips, I threw myself into his arms and hugged him tightly. "Come on, sweetheart. Let's go see" He said releasing me and opening the door slowly, waiting for any walkers to come out. I heard some movement in the back but nothing came, we made our way in and headed to check the back. A walker was stuck on a taffy puller, disgusting. I grimaced and shut the door before we searched through the counters and cabinets for the good stuff! I pulled open a drawer and there it was, raspberry dark chocolate. I grabbed handfuls of candy and shoveled them into my bag. I heard a chuckle from behind me "you're such a kid" Glenn said, dropping an arm full of candy in my bag. "Yeah, but you like it!" I laughed, he sat on the counter and let me finish grabbing stuff. I made sure I grabbed enough for everyone back at camp, especially the kids. I hopped up on the counter next to Glenn and grabbed his hand, intertwining our fingers.
