Daryl/Carol. Cause we all love these. Lol. Daryl loves Carol and finally gets the balls to tell her. Merle still alive in this and will imply Merle/Beth. Mature content as always. I don't own anything.
Daryl narrowed his eyes as he looked down onto the yard of the prison from his spot in the tower on watch. He could see Carol and Merle down by the fences killing walkers to try and keep the fences from collapsing again.
He stared down at Carol sweeping his gaze over her. Something he did a lot. She was beautiful to him. Her short hair was growing and the more food they were able to eat now days had her body filling out nicely.
He saw Merle say something to her and she flipped him off and shoved him laughing. Daryl bit his thumb as he watched. He knew his brother knew he was in love with Carol and he didn't think his brother would try to take her from him but he couldn't help the way it made him feel whenever he saw her laughing with any other man. It ate him up inside.
His brother was always telling him that if he didn't grow a pair and claim his women someone else would. He knew he was right but damn it Daryl didn't know how to do that shit. He'd never had a full time women before. Had one night stands but not since the outbreak. But Carol. Well, Carol was everything to him.
So much had happened since he and Merle came back to the prison. Merle went on a suicide mission taking Michonne to the governor but letting her go before they got there. Michonne and Merle developed some kind of bond that day when she decided to join him on the kill the governor mission. When Daryl got there all he saw was heading bodies and dead bodies everywhere from where Merle and Michonne had finish them all off, Michonne killing the governor before he could finish Merle off.
Carol and Merle became closer while Merle was healing from the gunshot wound from the Governor and once he was healed Merle slowly became a member of the prison. He and Rick still didn't always see eye to eye but he figured that would never change. But Rick wasn't in charge anymore and as long as it stayed that way Merle was happy.
Rick had done his best Daryl knew that but Daryl lost a lot of respect for the man when the Flu hit a month ago and Carol took the fall for Karen and David. When Daryl and the others came back from the run earlier than expected only to find Rick trying to send Carol away. Daryl just about lost his shit then. Only Merle holding him back saved Rick that day.
He knew Carol. Better than anyone did and he knew she didn't do shit. He could see it in her eyes that she was covering for someone but refused to say anything. It was finally Carl that came forward and told everyone, glaring into his father's eyes that Carol didn't do shit. Lizzie killed those two because there was something mentally wrong with that girl. Carl told everyone how he and Carol came across after it was over. Carol and Carol burned the bodies to try and stop the flu from spreading and then Carol made Carl promise to let her handle Lizzie and he did until he saw Carol taking the blame and his father trying to throughout the closet thing he and ass kicker had to a mother out for something she didn't do.
Daryl watched as Carol broke down. Apologizing for not warning everyone about Lizzie sooner. She told everyone how she expected something was wrong with her with how fascinated she had been with the walkers and how Mika said she use to be on medications a lot because she was messed up but she ran out months ago. Carol had planned to talk to Hershel and Dr S about it to see if they could help her but then everyone got sick and Dr S died and she just didn't know what to do. She didn't want to say anything because she was only a kid and she didn't want to be the cause of anymore kids dying.
Daryl glared Rick down that day as he held Carol crying by the car Rick was planning to send her off in and Rick tried apologizing over and over until Daryl told him that if he ever tried making another decision again on his own he'd kill the man himself.
That day only got worse as they went to confront Lizzie about the killings on to find her with her sisters dead body waiting for her to turn so they could be walkers together. They knew then that Lizzie was beyond help and couldn't be allowed around people anymore.
Carol insisted on being the one. Daryl and Merle didn't like it. Told her they'd do it but she said she had to. She couldn't do it for Sophia so she had to clean up her mess with Lizzie.
Carol had taken Lizzie for a walk, away from everyone. They all waited in grim silence that day until they heard the gun shot and Carol walked back, handed Daryl the gun and shut herself up inside her cell. She refused to come out. Cried and cried for days. Daryl sat with her almost the whole time holding her and trying to get her to move forward but she seemed lost within herself and Daryl had feared he would lose her and he knew he couldn't survive that.
No one knew what to do for her. They buried Lizzie and Mike next to each other. It wasn't until Carl took Judith into Carol's cells shut the door and curtain for privacy and stayed in there for 3 hours that Carol finally came out.
Daryl paced outside that cell that day while Carl was inside the entire time. He didn't know what Carl said to her, only the three of them knew but whatever it was it did the trick and Carol emerged with Carl and Judith 3 hours later wiping her face and heading to make dinner.
Things went back to normal then but Daryl still hadn't got up the urge to tell Carol he loved her. Daryl looked over out at the yard. Michonne and her now girlfriend Andrea who they saved from Woodbury where walking the other side of the fences killing walkers through it.
Beth was sitting on the grass with Judith and she was looking over at Merle and Carol too. He knew Beth had a thing for his brother and he caught his brother looking at her a lot too but he didn't know if anything had come from that yet and he didn't really care. They were both adults and even thought Hershel and Maggie might have a fit there wasn't really anything they could do about it. Beside Hershel respected Merle a lot now since he saved Beth from Zach one night when he caught the little prick trying to force himself on her. Ever since then Hershel called Merle son and treated him like he did the others from there original group.
Rick and Hershel were down in the fields gardening. Glenn and Maggie were nowhere in sight which meant they were off fucking some damn where. Tyreese was standing off to the side keeping watch of Sasha and Bob as they took a walk together. He felt the need to make sure Bob didn't trying anything funny with his sister not that Daryl thought it was necessary. Hell Sasha had more balls than Tyreese any day.
The rest of the lazy ass Woodbury folks that survived the flu were off doing whatever the hell it was that they did and Daryl didn't give two shit on what that was. They didn't pull enough weight around here in his opinion.
The door to the tower opened and he turned and saw Carl in his damn hat coming inside, gun strapped to his side and nodded at Daryl. Daryl had a lot of respect for that kid now that he helped bring Carol back. He had more respect for Carl then he did for his old man now days.
"Anything?" Carl ask and Daryl shock his head and glanced back at Carol. Carl saw it and smirked.
"You should tell her ya know." Carl said and Daryl glanced over and him while chewing his thumb nail.
"What?" Daryl ask and Carl chuckled.
"Carol. You should just man up and tell her how ya feel. Don't be like my dad and hold that shit in and then when it's too late regret it." Carl said and Daryl knew he was talking about how his dad treated his mom before she died.
"You're still sore at him about the farming shit?" Daryl ask Carl who shrugged.
"Not really mad he wants to farm. I don't think he should be leader anymore. He's not made many good choices in a while. I just think he's acting like he's in retirement of some shit now. He doesn't do runs, protect or even carry his gun. It's bullshit. This anit a country club and we all have to pull weight around here. I just think he should do more. And I'm still pissed about what he tried to do to momma Carol." Carl said and Daryl nodded. He agreed completely with the kid.
Momma Carol. That's what he had been calling her since they had their talk in the cell that brought Carol back. She smiled every time he called her that.
"Merle keeps telling me I should talk to her too. Says someone's gonna snatch her up if I don't grow a pair." Daryl said snorted and Carl chuckled.
"He's one to talk. The way he and Beth skirt around each other is as bad and you and Carol. Honestly just do it already." Carl sighed and Daryl shook his head. The kid had grown a lot that's for sure but at least his crush on Beth was gone and it seemed others knew about his brother and Beth's attraction to each other.
"Maybe I will. How's things with you and Robin?" Daryl ask and smirked when Carl blushed bright red.
Robin had come into the prison not but 2 weeks ago. Daryl and Merle found her up in a tree on a hunting trip. Her mother being eaten by walkers. She was alone and they brought her back to the prison. She was 15 and Carl took an immediate liking to the pretty girl. Robin too seemed to return his feelings.
"Do I need to make a condom run for ya kid?" Daryl ask and Carl turned red as a freaking tomato and Daryl laughed out loud.
"It anit like that Daryl. Damn." Carl hissed and Daryl just slapped his shoulder and bent over laughing.
"Laugh it up Daryl. Al least I talk to my women." Carl hissed and Daryl narrowed his eyes at the kid as he finished laughing. Kid was right he needed to get a move on it.
Later that night at dinner Merle sat next to him and smirked.
"Might need to make that move tonight little brother?" Merle told him and Daryl glared at him.
"Why. Ya thinking of trying something?" he ask and Merle chuckled.
"Not me. I got my own little date tonight with a blonde angel. Naw, Michonne told me she heard one of those new pricks Steve or something was gonna ask Carol to walk with him tonight. Says he thinks she hot." Merle said nodding his head over. Daryl peered across the cafeteria to see the new guy Steve was leering at his Carol and that shit didn't fly with Daryl.
Growling Daryl stood up, marched over towards where Carol was doing dished with Beth and tapped her shoulder glaring Steve down as he did.
Carol turned, wiped her hands off with a towel and gave him that smile she always gives him.
"What's up Pookie?" she ask teasing him like she always did. Normally he blushed and told her to hush but tonight was different.
"Need ta talk to ya." He said and she nodded.
"Give me a minute to finish up." She said and he nodded. She finished the last few dishes while he leaned against the counter. When Steve brought his plate up and grabbed Carols hand Daryl about lost his shit.
"Take a walk with me tonight?" he ask giving her a charming smile. Carol smiled back and removed her hand.
"I'm sorry Steve. Daryl needs me right now." Carol told him and walked over towards the door waiting for Daryl. Daryl nodded to her before walking over towards Steve and leaning down.
"Stay the fuck away from my women or I'll feed ya ass to the walkers." Daryl hissed in a cold voice. The man nodded and Daryl turned and threw his arm over Carol's shoulders and steered her towards the tombs.
When they got to the library Daryl shut and locked the door and Carol sat on top of one of the tables and watched as he paced in front of her after sitting his crossbow down against the wall.
"Daryl, what's the matter?" she ask him and he stopped and looked at her sideways before sighing.
"I been meaning to tell ya something for a long time now. I just don't know. Shit I anit good at this stuff." Daryl said and Carol frowned her brows at him.
"What is it? You can tell me anything." She told him and he nodded, biting his thumb nail and Carol knew something was making him nervous.
"I don't like it when the other men look at ya like that prick just did. Or ask ya for walks and shit." Daryl mumbled and Carol raised her brow in surprise.
"Why not?" Carol ask him crossing her arms over her chest.
"Cause they act like ya anit taken and it makes me want to kill something." Daryl told her blushing.
"Daryl I'm not taken." Carol said and Daryl huffed before walking over and standing in front of her.
"Yeah you are. Ya been mine since the farm." He told her and Carol's breath caught in her throat.
"Yours?" she ask alittle breathless and he nodded before bending down and kissing her hard.
Carol gasp in shock that he was actually kissing her. After dreaming and wishing for months he was actually kissing her.
It didn't take long for her to respond and she gripped his hair in both hands and pulled him against her hard and she dueled her tongue with his.
Daryl groaned at her taste. Damn why hadn't he done this sooner. He pushed her down until she laid under him on the table and wrapped her legs around his waist causing her to gasp and moan when she felt his erection now.
She went for the vest he always wore and pushed it off and helped her unbutton his shirt. She'd seem his scars before and he didn't care if she saw them again.
Sliding his shirt off he pulled his mouth from hers and pulled her tank top over her head and groaned when she wasn't wearing a bra.
"Damn." He said and bent down and sucked her nipple into his mouth.
She gasp and moaned and arched into him as he twirled his tongue around them both before moving his kisses down her stomach until he reached her pants.
He un did them and pulled them and her panties down her legs, taking her boots with them and tossed them to the floor. Getting down on his knees he spread her legs and dove in for his first taste.
"Oh god." She moaned and he had to hold her hips down to stop her from bucking off the table as he brought her to a quick release with his mouth. Damn she tasted fucking amazing.
Standing he shucked out of his pants and kissed up her body as she calmed down some and wrapped her legs around his waist again, urging him on.
"Ya sure sweetheart? We do this ya mine. My wife." He whispered into her ear and she nodded her head franticly.
"Yours. Yes. Please make me yours." She begged and he groaned as he slide home.
"Shit." He hissed at how freaking tight she was. He stayed still for a moment to get his mind together before he blowed right there.
She waited for him and ran her hands lovingly over his scars as he got himself together. When he was ready he pulled out slowly hissing and plunged back in.
They sat a fierce pace that had the table moving across the floor until it hit the wall behind them. He owned her body just like she owed his heart and when they came together neither cared if she ended up pregnant. They wanted it and anything else that went along with being together.
Daryl collapsed and rolled off her and laid with her curled around him on the table trying to catch his breath.
"About time Pookie." She told him and he laughed and nodded, kissing her head.
Later when they were ready to head back Daryl pulled a box from his shirt pocket and handed it to her. She opened it and gasp. Inside was two gold bands.
"Been having it for a while. Just too damn scared to give it to ya." He said and she smiled and walked over and slid his on his ring finger and let him do the same to hers.
"Mine." He told her and she nodded. She was. Always had been since the Farm and now everyone would know she was Carol Dixon.
He finally found the balls to claim his women.
