He was kissing her. Again. And kissing her became quickly his favorite activity.
The first kiss was surprising. It was after Negan, when she came back wounded from the Kingdom. They were talking in the kitchen. It was good because they didn't talk that much lately. He was happy, and then he asked her if this was serious with Tobin.
Carol was back two weeks ago, and she never talk to Tobin, he tried to meet her but she shook her head and hide in the house she was sharing with Maggie, Glenn and of course Daryl.
She looked seriously at Daryl, and said "No."
He tried again "Do you have feelings for him?" He couldn't ask if she loved him. That was too much for him.
"No. He's nice, charming. But no."
"So what was it then?"
"Comfort" that was the only response she could give. "I needed comfort and he was there."
He disliked her answer because he was here too, right? And then he got it, he wasn't here. He was with her physically, but emotionally he let her down.
Then out of nowhere Carol leaned into him and kissed him softly right on the mouth. He was so surprised he froze, frustrated she smiled, that woke him, and he kissed her back. Biting softly her bottom lip, the kiss ended.
Eyes closed still, she said "I knew it".
"Knew what?" he asked, still stunned with that kiss.
"That you are a sweet guy Daryl"
Offended. "I ain't a sweet guy! Pfft!"
"Oh yeah?" She didn't wait and kissed him again, and it was really sweet. Daryl couldn't be aggressive with this woman, even if he wanted her for years, he was careful, tender and sweet because she was Carol.
And then he decided to be an ass. "Better than Tobin?"
She laughed, a real good laugh, shook her head and answered "So much better!"
"Why?"
"Because it's you Daryl." He smiled and initiated their third kiss.
It was 6 months ago…. They made love, they had sex, sometimes kinky sex. But his favorite activity was kissing her. So, as she turned to face him in their bed, he just kissed her again.
