Daryl Dixon Imagines

Need - Part 1

A/N I just wanted to quickly mentioned that this may be a little confusing, but never fear because part 2 will go more into the backstory. Enjoy lovelies

I made my way down to Negan's cell to give him his lunch, my latest interaction with Daryl still playing on my mind.
"Daryl been ignoring you again?"
"What's it to you Negan?"
"Woah, I mean no offence darling, just making small talk"
"Yeah well, I didn't come down here to talk, I'm just bringing you your food".
I wish I could have taken back my words as suddenly, I started to unload everything that was playing on my mind to Negan.
"I haven't seen him in months, I didn't even know he was going to be here today. I just woke up to a knock on my door and there he was. Knocked the wind right outta me, I'll tell you that much"
---
"Why don't you just ask him the damn question" Negan said to me after I had rattled on about Daryl for near an hour.
"Because I'm scared of the fucking answer! Okay?" I shouted back to him. "I am so afraid that if I confront him about what we are, he will just run for the hills and I won't ever see him". I let out a long sigh, "I would rather live in my little world with the hope that Daryl still loves me, heck still feels something for me, than have to face the likely reality that he doesn't love me anymore".
I could see the pity in Negan's eyes, something I never thought I'd see in a man with his history.
"Don't look at me like that"
"Like what?" Negan said.
"Like I'm a sad, little, fragile thing".
"I'm not looking at you like that Doll".
I huffed at him before continuing on, "We used to be great, we used to be a team – unstoppable. I understand that losing so many people has had its effect on him, but fucking hell, its affected everyone." I could feel the emotion start to drown me. No, I thought, I cannot cry in front of Negan. "I just didn't think he would shut me out this bad, you know, he doesn't even stay at our house when he comes back to Alexandria. It feels cold without him, all I can feel is the ghost of the past".
"I don't want to say you're a hopeless case, but I mean, Daryl aint giving you much to go on, now is he?" Negan said.
"Fuck. Just, fuck." I exclaimed out loud. "Why am I telling you all this, you don't want to hear about my depressing existence. I have to go anyway, lots of stuff to do."
"I'll be back tonight to bring you your dinner. Bye Negan."
"See you later darlin', looking forward to the next chapter in the Y/N and Daryl suck fest".
I rolled my eyes at Negan before making my way out of his cell and back towards my house.
