For Daryl Dixon [part 1]

I'm a good multi-tasker (72)

*****SMUT warning 

We started walking the next morning. The map we found said we were only fifteen miles from the big city where Rick hoped to find suburbs on the way that had walls. We had plenty of supplies now and our group looked stronger than it ever had before. We moved deeper into the woods to set up camp for the night. As we sat around the fire now I could hear the grunting of walkers coming our way.

"I'll take care of it." Sasha said grabbing a knife and Abraham followed her towards the sound. 

I looked over at Daryl who was wiping blood off his crossbow now. I stared at him as I pulled my knees into my chest. His muscles were visible from his sleeveless vest and I blushed as he looked up to see me starring at them. I thought of how we became so close and I thought occurred to me. I barely knew him other than some of the stories he's shared about his past but even those were vague.

"What you worryin' bout now?" He asked.

"Why do you think I'm worried?" I asked unsure of how he could always tell when I was upset when I haven't said anything.

"Your face. You're forehead gets that line in the middle...that usually means you're thinkin' and when you think, you worry."

"Do not." I said but I knew he was right. "Fine...I was just thinkin' how I don't really know anything about you. Ya know, like...what's your favorite color?"

"What's my favorite color?" He repeated uninterested in the question.

"Yes Daryl, just humor me."

He rolled his eyes and put his crossbow down. He looked around for a moment at the dark woods then back at me. "Green."

"Green? Ok. And your favorite memory? Like grown' up." I asked turning towards him.

"Not much to remember there." He said a little sad but I still waited.

"Come on Daryl."

"Why you wanna know all this anyway? None of that matters anyways."

"Of course it does." I pleaded with him.

"How?"

"Because it's apart of you. How can I claim to love you when I don't even know who you are? I mean I know I know you... but I want more. Please Daryl." I said touching his hand and he just shook his head.

"Alright. Alright. Umm... what was the question again?" He said rubbing his eyes. He looked tired but he was still so handsome in the firelight. 

"Favorite memory before all this."

"Well I told ya, everythin' I did wasn't so memorable...with Merle and everythin'."

"What about before that? Like when you were younger...wasn't there something that made you happy?"
