Daryl Dixon one-shots

Cat

POV: You fall asleep on Daryl's lap.

Daryl and Y/N had been on the road for days, and they were both exhausted. They had set up camp for the night, and Y/N had curled up in Daryl's lap, her head resting against his chest.

As they sat there in silence, Daryl couldn't help but feel a sense of peace. He had never been particularly good with people, but something about Y/N made him feel at ease.

He looked down at her, her face peaceful in sleep. Her hair was tangled and messy, but he couldn't help but think that she looked beautiful.

Without even realizing it, he began to stroke her hair, his fingers running through the brown strands. She stirred slightly, but didn't wake up.

Daryl continued to stroke her hair, his touch gentle and soothing. He had never felt so protective of anyone before, but he knew that he would do anything to keep her safe.

As the night wore on, Daryl felt himself growing more and more tired. He leaned his head back against a tree, still holding Y/N in his lap.

Eventually, he too fell asleep, his hand still tangled in her hair. They slept there together, safe and protected from the dangers of the world outside.
