" So fucking glad we made it out of there " you said to Daryl as youse both sat outside the church and puffed on a cigarette.
" I know , glad we got them fuckers " he said as took a long drag from his cigarette.
Daryl was your best friend, he had been since the prison fell when you Beth and him all wound up together. You spoke to him more than you did to Beth, when Beth went missing it was just you too. As horrible as it sounded you liked it more, you had Daryl all to yourself . It was fair to say that you liked Daryl more than a friend , you hadn't told him or anybody really about your crush, you didn't want to tell him incase it ruined the friendship you weren't sure if he liked you back, you assumed he didn't so you didn't get false hope.
" Come to the car, there's water up there I'm pretty sure I left it in the boot" you said standing up as you and Daryl walked over to the car.
You tied your hair into a pointy tail before getting your water talking to Daryl about stuff all of a sudden his posture adjusted and he smashed the lights on the car.
" The hell are you doing?" You asked him as he pointed up to the street and you saw a car with a white cross on the back.
" It's the people who took Beth " he said as you looked up and saw the car with the white cross on, Yep it was the same people who took her.
We jumped in the car and sped after it keeping a good distance behind them so that they didn't notice us. You hated this, not going to save Beth you did care about her she was family anyway but the feeling of jealousy you felt towards her. Did he care about her in that way? Did he like her more than you? Did her care about her more? When she got back was he going to bail you for her?
" You care about her?" You asked your voice barely above a whisper.
" your getting jealous again " Daryl said with a slight chuckle, he knew you well he knew that you were a jealous person, the only thing he got wrong was he thought you were jealous over a friendship.
" maybe " you said looking up at him trying to look all innocent, " but if that was me, what would you do? If someone else had took me"
Daryl looked over at you and gave you a soft smile, "y/n I can promise you now, that wouldn't happen because I wouldn't let anyone take you" He said as you smiled softly and sat up more in your seat.
" You really mean that Dixon?" You asked him questioning him jokingly.
" yeah I mean it, your not like the others in the group your special to me in a way. No one gets me like you do " he said as you couldn't help but smile at him.
" Jeez you better stop, your making me get all emotional " you said with a slight laugh and looked up, " looks like we're heading to Atlanta " you said with a slight tension.
" Don't worry about it, carol was telling me about this refugee place at the front of the city she said it could have walkers in but probably not many, look we will be alright ... I won't let anything bad happen to us" he said taking a hold of your hand to comfort you a bit.
You stopped the car as soon as you got into the city so you didn't attract walkers, the place what carol was going on about was true, it wasn't too difficult getting into the building, there were walkers what you had to take down but you and Daryl managed just fine.
" we can stay here " you said pointing to a room why had two bunk beds, you walked in Daryl following you as he shut the door behind youse. You sat yourself down on the windowsill and looked out into the mess what once used to be the city Atlanta.
" You don't like Beth why?" Daryl asked you taking you off guard.
" What? I do like her " you said defending yourself but still looking out of the window.
" Your lying, I can't tell you are your not even looking at me" He said to you as you scoffed at looked at him.
" why are you interrogating me all of a sudden about Beth" you said trying to laugh it off
" I'm not interrogating you, I just wanna know why you don't like her, you can tell me y/n it's not like I'm going to judge you" He said to you as you sighed and raised your eyebrows.
" fine, I don't like her because she likes you and I can tell she dose and I feel like when we get her back she's going to take you away from me and I'm going to loose you" you said to him finding it hard to say the last bit just above a whisper.
Daryl sat there and smiled softly at you what caused you to scowl, " what you find me getting jealous over you funny? Fuck you" you said getting up walking over to the bunk bed.
" I don't find it funny I find it more cute" he said what make you stop in your tracks and look back at him, your face could clearly give your expression of confusion away. " I find it cute because I like you y/n when I said you were special to me it was because I liked you, and the way how you act about Beth I found it funny because you didn't even realise that you had nothing to be jealous or worry about " he said as you were taken back from words.
" How could you not tell that I liked you?" You asked him genuinely confused because you dropped so many hints.
" I mean I always thought you might of but I wasn't sure and then when you started getting jealous over Beth it made me think thy more , I guess I just always doubted myself " He said as youse both made your way over to the bed and sat down.
" So what are we then?" You asked Daryl looking up at him, " were friends but you like me and I like you back , but nothing has happened so what dose that make us?" You asked him as he looked at you for a few moments not saying anything.
" Were What we want to be " He said leaning over you and kissing you on the lips forcing you to lay on your back , your arms fell onto daryls neck holding it as he placed kisses all over you. He rolled onto his side so youse were facing each other his arm fell over your back pulling you in closer to him as one of your arms fell over his with your hand on the back of his head playing with his hair.
