Chapter 39: Walk With Me

A/N So this is more or less a free chapter since this episode is around Andrea and Michonne sooooo might as well make fluff! Slight smut too ;)

Carter's P.O.V

Waking up, I blink my eyes rapidly, groaning in annoyance at the sun in my eyes. I let out a heavy breath, going to sit up, only to be pulled back down. I yelp in surprise, hearing a silent chuckle behind me.

" Daryl~" I groan, craning my neck to see the toughest man I've ever seen, cuddling into my back, giving a muffled whine into my shirt. I giggle lightly, placing my hands on top of his, making him pull me closer.

" You're staying here Peaches," he whispers, pulling me closer. I laugh quietly, trying to pull his hands away. I notice that plan will fail, since he just holds me closer. " I want you here with me Carter. Please~"

" Sorry Softie, I gotta go hunting. Rick wants to have some meat to not waste any food from the lunch room." I get out of his grip, standing up and stretching before going through my bag. I grab a shirt, placing it on the sink.

" I'm coming with you." I look back, seeing him sitting up, his feet now planted on the floor.

" Nah. You," I lean my back against the sink, pointing at him as he ruffles his hair, " my soft little redneck are helping clean up the place." I ruffle his hair, turning around and pulling my shirt off, throwing it in the corner. I grab my shirt, only for his hands to lace with mine, gripping the fabric as well. He pulls my close, his unclothed torso touching mine.

" Who you callin' little?" he questions.

" You," I tease, his breathing get hotter as his lips grow close to my neck. He kisses lightly, making me go into a fit of giggles. " Why do you like kissing my neck so much?" I ask, making him stop for a moment to think. He only shrugs, continuing to kiss my neck. I jokingly scoff, moving away long enough to pull my shirt over my head. I sit back down on the bed, tying my shoes. I glance up, only to do a double take, seeing the redneck. I've been around him before like this, but this is the first time I've really looked.

" You can stop looking." I snap out of my thoughts, seeing Daryl with a smug look on my face. I give a awkward cough, looking away from his muscled torso. I stand up, grabbing the weapons from my top bunk.

" I-Um," I clear my throat, " I'll just-um go." He chuckles, seeing my embarrassment.

" Come back quick." He kisses my forehead, which I smile at before walking out, a small smile on my face.

Carter's P.O.V

Staring at the now dead doe, I grab it's legs, pulling it close. " One, two, three!" I pull it over my shoulder, holding it close. I move it until it's somewhat comfortable with the quiver and bow on my back. I hear a snap of a branch, making me look around me, seeing nothing but putting me on edge.

" Well hey! Look who it is!" I stop in my tracks, hearing a southern accent. I slowly turn around, seeing the one and only Merle. I stare, my mouth slightly ajar at the dead man walking. I look at his arm, seeing a fashioned knife where his hand used to be. " You like it right? Since you guys left me I got a new weapon." I give a silent gulp, looking back at the man's face. " Hey, do you know what happened to my brother? Is he alive?" My face contorts slightly, thinking quickly of an answer.

" I don't know. I left the group a long time ago." He stays quiet for a moment before the same smug smirk is back on his face.

" Well then, how about you come with me. I have a new place. It's nice," he explains, yet I shake my head no, the redneck's face becoming confused yet growing slowly with anger. " You know, if you don't wanna go, fine." He pulls his gun out, pulling the trigger at me.

Daryl's P.O.V

The gate opening and closing, I sigh in relief, seeing Carter walking back inside, a deer on her shoulder. I lean up against the wall, a small smile on my lips. She walks past me, yet doesn't acknowledge me, her face with a focused expression. After a few moments, she walks back outside, Rick's rifle on her back. I grow confused, seeing her taking watch at one of the towers.

Carter's P.O.V

Staring at the sun setting, I hear the trap door open and close. Looking back I see Daryl before staring back at the sky, rifle in hand while sitting on the edge. Feeling his presence beside me, I look at my hands, finger fumbling on top of each other. " What's wrong?" I only shake my head as a response.

" Just found somethin' weird while out."

" What was it?"

" A person," I explain. He pulls me to him, wrapping his arm around me. Laying my head on his chest, my hand fall to his lower thigh, my fingers rubbing the fabric, hearing him hum to continue. " It was weird is all. I thought I saw someone who wasn't there."

" You were just out in the sun too long. You were tired. Don't worry it's normal."

" I know just, somethin' felt wrong. I just got a feelin'." A noise interrupts my thoughts. I look over at the other tower, laughing a bit. I shake my head, knowing what's happening as Daryl laughs too. Quietening down, we stare each other. I glance at his lips before placing mine on his. He responds quickly, kissing back. I pull away after a minute, taking in deep breaths. He takes the rifle from my lap, placing it on the floor before sitting with his back against the wall. He smirks at me, making me bit my lip, looking at him shyly. I sit on his lap, straddling him.

" Do you wanna wait?" he asks, placing his hands on my waist. I look down shyly, blush crossing my face. " Hey," he lifts my chin up with his finger, giving me soft smile," we don't have to. We can take it slow." I give a small smile, looking down again, still feeling the embarrassment on my face. He kisses my cheek, which I giggle at. He kisses all over my face as I go into a giggling fit. I roll my eyes, grabbing his face before kissing him. Deepening the kiss, he bites my lip, a small moan escaping my mouth. He kisses the corner of my lip, going lower until he gets to my neck, sucking and kissing marks on my neck. I move my head, making him kiss more areas than before.

" Ah~ Daryl," I groan, a feeling running through me. His kisses harder on my neck, biting a few places as well. The feeling becomes overbearing. " Da-Daryl!" I exclaim, my voice higher than usual. He pulls away, allowing me to breath calmly. He chuckles, seeing my expression.

" I never thought you'd act like this Peaches." I roll my eyes, trying to hide the crimson on my face.

" Can we just sleep?" He nods his head, bringing me inside the tower. He places me down, sitting beside me before pulling me in between his legs. He kisses my neck again, pulling me close. He rubs my stomach again, my eyelids dropping over my eyes. I lay my head on his shoulder. I hear a light chuckle, a pair of lips on my neck before hearing the rednecks voice.

" Goodnight Peaches."
