Daryl and Beth had come to accept that they were the only two survivors from the prison. They were fortunate to have found each other and clueless to say they're feelings for one another were growing.
BETHS PERSPECTIVE.
Daryl struggled to shake off the horrible dream he had just had, he shook his head side to side and rubbed his face, slowly coming back to reality. I stood there smiling at him and said, "You know, you talk in your sleep right?"
"I do?!" Daryl asked, "Yeah and I want you to know, I will never intentionally leave you Mr. Dixon."
He had mumbled in his sleep about looking for me and once he found me he struggled with saving me and at some point throughout his mumbles I think he lost me and for that reason the last couple of mumbles he seemed to be crying.
I didn't want to make him feel uncomfortable by asking him if he wanted to talk about it. I just wanted to let him know I was here for him.
"Breakfast Mr. Dixon?" I asked. He jumped off the coffin landing on his feet and said, "Heck yeah".
We walked over to the kitchen and sat at the table where the peanut butter and jelly were already set out. Daryl and I ate in silence as he scoffed down a jar of peanut butter. "I think I should write a note thanking the people who were here and left the food, you know just in case they return."
I turned to look at Daryl's reaction to my kind thought, his face was still as he dropped the peanut butter jar and quickly sat up, walked out of the kitchen and out the door. Confused about his reaction, I followed him.
"Daryl! Stop, where are you going?!" He was walking fast and had his crossbow ready to shoot. "Daryl stop!" I yelled and he quickly turned making me run straight into his chest, we were now face to face.
We were so close I felt a bit strange. I moved just a little closer and Daryl dropped his crossbow, grabbed my face with both his hands and kissed me. It was a huge surprise but I couldn't hold back, I kissed him and I could not stop.
After a couple moments we both stopped to catch our breaths, "I don't want to lose you Beth". I grabbed his hands that held each side of my face and said, "You will never loose me Daryl, never." He then kissed me lightly and picked up his crossbow threw it over his shoulder and walked quickly back to the house.
"We have to go!" he said. "What, why?! We have food and a house?" he then stopped and I almost ran into him again, "We can't stay here, it aint a good place." Confused I continued following him back into the house and began to pack our things. We took all the food there was and packed a tent and blankets. Daryl then called out for me "Beth lets go!"
I was confused about the whole situation, why were we leaving, why did he just burst out of the house?
That night Daryl and I set up camp in the middle of the woods. I finished setting up the tent while Daryl put out the fire, "Are you coming?" I said as I stepped inside the tent. He then stared at me and bit his lip in hesitation, as he usually did, "Come on!" I said and he stepped in.
Once inside, he sat down and leaned his elbows on his knees, I sat next to him and crossed my legs.
"What are you thinking about Daryl?" he rubbed his thumb against his lip. "You." he then turned to face me. I slightly leaned into him and he turned his face forward then down and said, "I don't know if this is ok."
"Why shouldn't it be?" I took a deep breath, "I think I'm falling in love with you Daryl Dixon." I said nervously waiting for his response.
He then turned to me and grabbed my face with both his hands kissing me passionately as I caressed his chest. I then lay on my back as he got on top of me and wrapped my legs around him as he began to rub himself on me. We began to breathe harder and I began to unbutton his shirt as he kissed my neck.
We then heard something outside!
We both stopped, Daryl quickly grabbed his crossbow and I made sure I had my knife. Daryl stepped outside the tent holding up his hand signaling me to stay inside.
I watched him as he carefully checked our surroundings and found nothing. A little frightened I asked, "What was it?"
"I don't know. Could be nothing." he said coming back inside the tent, "I guess the moments over huh?" he said as he lay on his back and I laid next to him resting my head on his shoulder and my hand on his chest. Before I knew it we were both fast asleep.
