It was the talking that had woken Daryl up the next morning. Loud voices echoed from their makeshift kitchen and carried down the hallway into Carol cell. Daryl's cell was far enough away that it had never bothered him before. Now the sound of everyone's morning routine made him want to retreat back to his own bunk for a few extra minutes of sleep, until he felt Carols hands entwined in his.

Daryl sighed and opened his eyes to Carol smiling back at him. "Morning." She said softly. He returned the greeting.

He groaned as he rolled out of the bed, his joints stiff and ached. Apparently he and Carol hadn't moved from their position all night. It didn't shock him. The beds were too small for one person to sleep in, let alone two.

Daryl shrugged on his vest and smiled warmly at Carol who was pulling on her shoes. "Sleep well?" she asked to break the silence.

Daryl nodded. "Yeah. It was…nice."

Carol gave a small laugh before leaving the cell, followed by Daryl. They entered the kitchen where most of the group sat eating breakfast.

"Where have you been all morning?" Rick asked as Daryl sat down at the table.

"What d'ya mean?" Daryl questioned back.

"You weren't in your cell this morning. I went to see if you wanted to go on a run with Michonne this afternoon." Rick answered.

"I spent the nigh' in Carols cell." He said quietly, not wanting anyone else to hear and ask questions. This earned him a very suspicious look from Rick.

"Shut up, not like that!" Daryl retorted back.

Rick shrugged and took a mouthful of food. "Doesn't matter to me what you do in your free time."

Daryl shook his head hiding embarrassment before glancing up to see Glenn looking at him oddly from across the table.

"What?" Daryl demanded.

"Why aren't you wearing any shoes?" Glenn asked.

Daryl realized he had left his boot back in his own cell the previous night. "Jus' didn't feel like wearing 'em. Why?"

Glenn shook his head, a small smile on his face. "No reason." He turned to Maggie and Daryl watched as the two whispered a short conversation to each other, before Maggie moved to the seat beside Daryl.

"Glenn and I went to Carol's cell this morning, to see if she wanted any of the extra clothes we found on our last supply run." Maggie's voice was barely a whisper and a sly smirk played on her mouth.

Daryl's heart stopped a moment and he spared a look at Maggie, then to Rick who was listening to the conversation at well. The look of embarrassment on Daryl's face only made her smile increase.

"I didn't realize you liked cuddling," she said trying not to laugh.

Rick suddenly began coughing on his meal and he spared a grin to Daryl. On the opposite end of the table Glenn sat with his head down chuckling while the rest of the group looked confused at what everyone was laughing at. Daryl gave a glare to Glenn and Maggie before catching eye contact with a blushing Carol. She smiled at Maggie who only giggled more.

Daryl just sent the smirking Rick a glare before getting up to get his own food pretending to be angry, when really he was just happy carol hadn't denied it or ignored it. In fact she just found it as humorous as the others, which Daryl found comforting.
