Just so you know..
Chapter 1.
The war was over. The Union has won. Alexandria,Hiltop and The Kingdom have fought against Negan and they won although there were so many loses. Too many but life was like that. In the middle of an apocalypse you can't ask for more, it's impossible. If walkers don't kill you, people will.
But life was changing. Daryl never thought they would have another chance to start over, he thought he was going to die so many time the last months. He thought they were all going to die but well, life was surprising too. Sometimes there were good surprises.
They've decided to rebuild the Kingdom and abandon Alexandria, it was too destroyed, too many ghosts. So they decided to start over here, it was a good place, good people, good walls. They decided to call it "Elysium"
And she is here.
He never thought he would have the chance to start over again with her. He thought she'd leave after the war, but he was so wrong. Even if she tried once to let them behind, to protect herself,to protect them.. she couldn't. And he was so fucking happy, he can't stop smiling everytime he saw her.
- Hi- she said as she went to his porch to give him some cookies
Of course, she would continue cooking. Carol Peletier was a warrior, a fucking heroine who has destroyed the Sanctuary of Negan with just the help of one soldier of the Kingdom and Ezekiel. She was one of the founders of this new place. Rick, Ezekiel and Maggie were the others. But everyone knew they owe this place to Carol and Ezekiel. And still, she'd continue making cookies. Delicious cookies.
- Hi, woman- he said looking at her. Thank God, she was wearing her clothes again, she wasn't exactly the Carol of the prison but she wasn't the Alexandrian Carol neither. And he was so fucking glad for it
- No smile for me today?- she said faking a sad face
- Stop- he said and that was all. He was smiling again. This woman was so fucking incredible.- What are you going to do today?
-Mm.. nothing special. I have to talk to Ezekiel about some stuff,Rick asked me to take Jude for a walk.. he says she was asking for me all night long and Michonne couldn't keep her calm..
-That girls adores you- he said biting his nails
- She adores you too- she said looking at him with her impossibly blue eyes- Mm.. I was thinking maybe you'd like to take a walk with me and her, we could go to see the horses?
- Pf.. you and horses
- I know you don't adore them but you like them, that black horse…adores you- she said- and you adore him too.. maybe I should be jealous of it
He laughed at her. Fucking woman.
- Just so you know.. I adored you first- she said winking at him and he couldn't help but take her hand to kiss it.
He remembered that time on the prison when he was so too shy to respond to her. She said once.. " Just so you know I liked you first" and he didn't say anything. But now? He doesn't waste his chances to let her know he appreciates her… maybe he should even tell her how much he feels for her… Maybe.
- You're sweet,Mr Dixon- she said
- And you're a tease, Peletier- he said as he let her hand go- I'll go with you. Five?
- Good- she said as she went away
He saw her go thinking about how much he dislikes horses in general but he wouldn't waste this opportunity. He knows how much she smiles when she sees horses.
And fuck, he does love her smile
