SCOTTY DOESN'T KNOW - LUSTRA
I sighed and dropped myself into a spot beside Rick, the ex-cop paying no attention to me as he sat sharing jokes with T-Dog, a smiling Lori snuggled comfortably into his side. I should have been happy just like the rest of the survivors that sat around the bar's table. Andrea, Carol, Glenn…maggie.
I had to physically stop myself from sneering at the name, frame tensing when I saw her hand slide over Glenn's thigh.
I bit my tongue, tasting blood.
It was weird, the thing Glenn and I had. Starting way before we even got to the Greene farm all those years ago. But I was Daryl fucking Dixon. I didn't do relationships. I didn't do love. So I did what every good Dixon son always did. I pushed him away and hid like a coward. Nothing that it worked for very long. Still, it didn't stop Maggie from digging her talons into Glenn the second I had my back turned.
I could see Glenn smile at me from the corner of my eye, his hand sliding down sneakily between our chairs to grasp my hand under the table. Not that maggie noticed. Not that maggie ever noticed.
I felt my lips twitch up for a moment, winking at glenn before gluing my eyes back to the stage where Beth was attempting a rendition of some pop song from long before the breakout. Not that there had been much music since.
I clapped along with the group – shifting in my seat as I felt the ghost of a cool hand at the back of my shirt, fingertips brushing barely there under the hem…
"Dixon!" T-dog shouted, making me jump almost 15 ft in the air. I could see glenn smirk from the corner of my eye. Cheeky bastard.
"Your turn my friend" t-dog teased, grabbing the microphone Beth from only to lob it my direction.
"I don't think so, just-nah-i-" I stuttered out, rick smiling at he patted my back.
"Come on Daryl, everyone's gonna get roped into it eventually." He smiled nodding up to the stage. My eyes unconsciously moved to glenn as I stood up, small smirk reaching my lips and I could see him pale slightly. He knew that look.
"alright, here's one that just happened to pop in my head" I smirked, thankful that for once Carl wasn't around. "although I may have changed it some. This one's for you baby"
All at once I could see Glenn pale even more, the group look around for my 'baby,' Maggie shift in her seat, watching glens reactions like a hawk and Carol smirk and eyes flickering to glenn – damn that woman was way too perceptive. I snorted and turned, sharing a few words with the band as some of them laughed, others just frowning but nodding anyway as the song started.
"Maggie doesn't know,
that Glenn and me do it in my truck every Sunday.
he tells her he's in church but he doesn't go,
Still he's on his knees
And Maggie doesn't know.
Oh, Maggie doesn't know.
So don't tell Maggie!
Maggie doesn't know"
I tried not to chuckle at Maggie's open mouth and Glenn as he shifted in his seat. I knew better than to think that he didn't remember that afternoon. Strangely enough I barely contained the out-right laughter as I caught Andrea and Carol's victorious smirks sent Maggie's way. I knew the group was never very fond of Maggie, keeping her round during the breakout for more skill that her dad and she had then anything but I wasn't dumb enough not to notice the tension between her and Carol and Andrea. I just never imagined it would have anything to do with Glenn and me. I mentally reminded myself to hug the two women later.
"I can't believe she's so trusting,
While I'm right behind you thrusting.
Glenn has got her on the phone and he's trying not to moan.
It's a three way call and she knows nothing. NOTHING!"
I could hear T-Dog call out "That's my boys!" as Glenn smiled, standing up to join me on stage. I ignored the part of me that said t-dog had clearly had way too much to drink, basking in the outraged and shocked expression on maggie's face as glenn reached my side. I couldn't stop the smile that broke onto my face, glenn sliding his worn and favourite baseball cap onto my head as I wrapped an arm around him middle, holding him to me as I continued to sing.
"The parking lot, why not?
It's so cool when you're on top.
Her front lawn, in the snow, laughing so hard
Cause Maggie doesn't know,
Maggie doesn't know.
I did him on her birthday."
Maggie's reactions seemed pretty insignificant now, the cheers and applause from the rest of the table fading into background noise as I held glenn against my chest. It seemed stupid, looking back on it. Letting glenn getting away from me. And I was never a sharing person. I smiled as glenn spun in my arms, dancing against me and I could the small smirk tugging on his lips.
"Maggie will know,
Maggie has to know,
Maggie's gotta know,
Gonna tell Maggie,
Gonna tell her myself.
Maggie doesn't know,
Maggie doesn't know..."
Glenn laughed as the song ended, cheeks flushed red and I couldn't help myself as I grabbed the back of his neck pulling him in for a bruising kiss. Glenn was the first to pull away after forever, smacking me on the chest when he did.
"that was cruel." He whispered, eyes flickering to Maggie's now empty spot although the rest of the group was still laughing and smirking at the two of us.
"maybe…" I shrugged a shoulder, before ducking my head back down. "But I don't share well with others."
