Dead Man Walking(Part 18)-Daryl Dixon(Twd) X Male Reader

The group wander around the forest as they escaped terminus.
They come across a walker.
MC:I got it...
She reaches for her katana but feels nothing and chuckles to herself as she rams the end of her rifle in the walkers face.
They continue down the road until they hear screaming.
C:We need to go help them!
Y/N:I agree we need to!
Rick bites his lip and nods as the group all run towards the screams and they see a priest on top of a boulder with four Walkers on him.
Y/N,Daryl,Rick and Carl each take a walker down.
The man jumped down from the boulder and Rick examined him.
R:you okay?
The man holds up one finger and proceeds to vomit on the ground.
Y/N raised an eyebrow and finally he stopped vomiting.
?:sorry...y-yes...thank you...I'm gabriel...
R:do you have any weapons on you?
Gabriel turns and looks at the dyed pink haired male and Michonne and back to Rick.
GB:does it look like I would carry any weapons?
Y/N:You'd be surprised...
Y/N said sarcastically.
GB:I have no weapons of any kind...the word of god is the only protection I need...
D:sure didnt look like it...
GB:I called for help...help came...
He looks around and Noel added in a snarky comment:
N:god promised not to wipe out the earth but here we are...
GB:y-you you see-
There was a loud growl coming from Gabriel's stomach.
He turns to Rick.
GB:Do you happen to have any food...?
He asks longingly to Rick.
GB:whatever...I had left...it just hit the ground...
C:we got some pecans...
Carl and Danny both hold out a few of the pecans.
Gabriel takes it.
GB:thank you...
Judith cooes and Gabriel smiles gently.
GB:that's a beautiful child...
The group is silent.
GB:do you have a camp?
R:no...do you?
GB:I have a church...
R:hold your hands above your head...
He starts patting him down.
R:how many walkers have you killed?
GB:not any actually-
R:turn around...how many people have you killed?
GB:none...
LI:Why?
Lia cuts in.
GB:because the lord abhors violence...
Y/N:then what have you done? We've all done something....
GB:I'm a sinner...I sin everyday...but those sins I confess them to god...
He looks around.
GB:not strangers...
MC:You said you had a church...
Time skip...
The group is all walking down the road and Rick asks;
R:hey...early were you watching us?
GB:I keep to myself...nowadays people are just as evil as the undead don't ya think?
Y/N:amen...
D:people are worse...
GB:well I wasnt watching you... I haven't been beyond the stream near my church more than a few times since its started...that's was the furthest I've gone...
He looks around for approval and hears silence.
GB:or maybe I'm lying...maybe I'm lying about everything and there's no church ahead at all...maybe I'm leading you into a trap so I can steal all your squirrels.
He chuckles lightly and hears only Y/N let out a small chuckle.
Y/N:bad timing my friend...we gotta work on that...
GB:I've always been told my sense of humor...leaves much to be desired...
D:yeah it does...
He bumps into some branches and leads the group to a small little church.
He approaches the door and Rick shouts out.
R:hold up...can we take a look around first...
He says walking up the steps.
Y/N follows.
Y/N:we'd hate to lose our squirrels...
Rick holds out his hand for the key.
Gabriel hands it over and they open the door.
Y/N looks around a classroom and sees a few desks and sees a picture of people holding hands around the world.
He has a sudden flashback...
Flashback...
Y/N sits bored in the classroom by an old church his mother forced him to go to.
They had classes there for him to "cleanse his sins".
The people were okay,  but they enforced the concept that sex should only be between a man and a woman...
The 15 year old couldn't help and think of the thoughts he had of Daryl and decided how he would be disappointing his mother if he didn't find a bride.
He always wanted to make his mother proud when he was younger...but as he got older he didnt give any fucks...
Y/N:may I go to the bathroom?
Teacher:yes you may Mr.L/N...
Y/N's thoughts raced and soon he found himself back in the classroom just as the bell rang.
The car ride home was awkward with his mother...
His mother knew about the dixon boy...but she didn't know it was Y/N's persuasion to get with him.
Mom:that friend of yours...what's his name? Dylan?
Y/N:Daryl?
Mom:yeah him...he's a weird kid...I don't want you falling with that crowd...
Y/N:what do you mean?
Mom:I've seen how he acts...I don't want you hanging out with some delinquent!
Y/N:hes not a delinquent! Hes a good guy!
Mom:please you wouldn't be able to tell a good guy if he smacked you in the face...
Y/N:that's the thing...he is a good guy because he'd never smack me in the face!
Mom:what is he your boyfriend or something?
Y/N stayed silent.
Mom:I knew it...you and him are together! Well since you two are together you should go stay at his house for a while!
Y/N was forced to pack his stuff and leave his mom's house...
Time skip...
Y/N showed up at the doorstep of the dixons where Daryl answered.
D:Y/N...what's the matter?
He had been crying and he immediately fell into his arms.
D:yer' with me now mah' love...yer safe...
Flashback Ends...
Y/N didn't realize everyone had settled into the church and he had managed to talk with Mikah and Noel until Daryl walked up to him.
D:hey...I was just boutta' go get some water...wonderen' if you'd wanna come with...
Y/N:oh....sure...
Y/N said getting his things.
Rick,Gabriel,Sasha and Bon had already been out at the food bank so the two went off towards the stream.
They gathered a few gallons of water and filtered it.
While they waited Daryl tried to make small talk.
D:how do ya' know them asian folks?
Y/N:Liam,Lia and Zak? Came across them after we seperated...
D:well did ya' ever come across Andrea and Amy?
Y/N:we were together once...Eddie and Amelia were with us too...they got offered to join a military group...I chose to stay...and look for Danny and Rick...
D:and look for me...?
Y/N looks at the taller man and sighs.
Y/N:I think this water is ready to be brought back to the others...
As Y/N walked towards the church Daryl spoke up.
D:why are you mad at me? I'm not the one who lied...
Y/N:I'm not mad at you Daryl! I'm mad at myself! I tried to do the right thing and save everyone but I couldn't save everyone! The only reason I stayed was because I didn't want Danny to be put at risk!
D:Y/N...
Y/N:NO! FUCK YOU DARYL! BECAUSE OF ME WE'VE LOST SO MANY GOOD PEOPLE! DALE! LORI! T-DOG! THE LIST GOES ON!
Daryl puts his hand on Y/N's shoulder.
D:look...you were put in a tough spot...I'm sorry I didn't understand...
Y/N:Don't be sorry...
Y/N said as they approached the old church building...
Time skip...
Y/N sat with Mikah and Maggie as they had a little party with their new group.
Tara walked up to them.
T:hey...I just wanted to say...I was there...during the attack on the prison...
Y/N and Maggie looked at each other.
Y/N:you didn't want to be there any more than we did...
Maggie nods.
M:I think this calls for a group hug...
The four hug and Abraham makes a speech.
AB:I look around...and I see a bunch of survivors... you've all earned that title!
Y/N smiles and he feels Zak tug on his shirt.
Z:could you bring in that other jug of water...I told Daryl but he's been out there for a while..
Y/N  nods and heads out.
Once hes out hes met with the taller male unloading a few things when suddenly a car screeches past the two.
He recognizes the symbol on the back of the car.
D:shit!
He quickly smashes the back lights of the car.
Y/N:what are you doing?!
D:those are the sons of bitches that took Beth! Come on!
Y/N jumps into the passenger seat and they take off after the car.
