~You have no idea what I have planned. Mwuahaha but it will be good things just wait for it. I do not own the walking dead. I only own Archer~

Daryl POV

I wasn't too excited for this party but I already told Archer I would do it. Merle took the opportunity to call me a whipped pussy for getting on a nice shirt and doing things for a girl. I told him off before I left. When I got to Archer's house she was sitting on her porch. Once again I was taken aback by her appearance. Her hair was nicely combed and left her wavy hair loose. She was wearing a tight corset top with skinny jeans and boots.

"Your daddy letting you out of the house like that?" I asked her when she got in my truck.

"What's wrong with what I'm wearing?" She asked as she looked down at herself.

"You look…different."

"Is that bad?"

"I guess not." I turned away from her as I backed out of the driveway and in the direction she told me to go to the party.

We drove for about an hour before she told me to park on the side of the road. We got out and started heading up the trail. From the looks of it, it was someone's summer home. I watched as Archer walked toward her group of friends that I met earlier and her boyfriend.

This was going to be a long night…

Throughout the time at the party, I watched from a distance as Archer would dance and mingle with people. A few girls came up to me to dance but I wouldn't budge. They would walk off disappointed and I would keep drinking my beer.

I watched as Archer made her way over. "You having a good time?"

"This is stupid." I replied.

"It's not so bad."

"Have you even drank the beer yet? You seem too sober." She blushed. "I thought that was the whole point of having me come."

"I'm nervous. I never drank before."

I smirked. "You too pussy to drink?"

"No…"

I handed her my cup. "Drink up then."

"Maybe one of us should be sober."

"If you don't drink this shit now, I'll leave your ass here."

She sighed. She took the cup and studied the drink before looking up at me. I nodded. She quickly chugged the drink and coughed before giving me the cup. "That shit is awful."

"Yeah it is. You want another one?"

She grinned. "Fuck yes!" She grabbed my hand and led me to the keg as we poured ourselves more drinks. We drank about 4 full cups before she started to drag me to the dance floor. "Oh come on Dixon! Shake that sexy ass!"

"Fuck no. You're out of your mind if you think im gonna dance!" I shouted over the music.

She was bouncing and giggling all over me. "Come on Darylina!" She slurred.

"Fuck you! No fuck Merle for giving me that name."

"It's a pretty name."

I rolled my eyes. She's a damn light weigh. Her boyfriend what's his face came over and he danced with her.

"Glad you're finally loosened up." He commented as he slid his hands down her ass.

"Woah what the fuck are you doing?" She asked as she pushed his hands off.

"Oh come on babe, I've been waiting weeks to loosen you up." He started to kiss her and I watched as she shoved him.

"Back off Jeremy." He tried to make a go again and she punched him.

"You bitch!" He slapped her across the face and she fell to her knees.

Enough was enough. I didn't step in because I knew Archer could defend herself but he crossed the line. "Hey asshole!" I shouted. When he turned I punched him in the face. He tried to hit me back but I dodged it and I tackled him to the ground and messed up his face. "You stay the hell away from her and if you ever put your hands on her again, you're a dead man." I punched him one last time before I got off. Archer got up on her own and I led her to my truck.

We got in quietly and I drove off to the nearby forest that she talked about earlier. It was already pretty late so when I found a spot to park the car we got ready for bed. It didn't look like it was going to rain so we opened up our sleeping bags and lay in the bed of the truck. We were just lying in silence but neither one of us spoke.

I looked at her and saw she was just staring at the sky. "You alright?" She shook her head. "That guy was an asshole." She didn't say anything. "He was damn lucky I didn't have my crossbow or I would have done the old Archer method."

She laughed a little. "He deserves an arrow to the ass."

I smirked. "If you ever see that asshole again don't hesitate too."

"I don't have my arrows with me. My mom made me leave it at my dads."

"Your mom sucks."

"Yeah I know she does. I just…I want things to go back to normal. I miss being at home and seeing you every day and hunting and harassing Merle when I can."

"If I'm your only reason to be in this shit town, then I guess it's good you're forced to live with your mom. You can make something out of yourself."

"What's wrong with that being my reason?"

"I'm shit Archer."

"No you're not. I've been telling you that since we were kids."

"Maybe you should stop telling me and get the fucking picture."

I don't know what came over her but she straddled my lap and glared at me. "I think you need a god damn arrow in the ass."

I sat up and glared at her and our faces were very close to each other. "Are you threatening me?"

"Maybe I am. I'm still drunk and confident."

"You're pathetic and a light weight."

"Oh yeah well…"

"And you suck with comebacks."

She glared at me and within seconds she pressed her lips against mine and I just sat in shock. She pulled away with a smirk. "Take that Dixon. I got you to shut it." She laughed and then slowly got serious. My heart was racing. I've kissed girls before but never did a kiss give me a reaction like that. I gently grabbed her face and just stared at her green eyes. The moonlight was hitting them just right. If Merle saw this, I definitely knew I would get an ear full but I didn't care.

She leaned in and kissed me again and this time I responded back. She wrapped her arms around my neck and I let my hands grab her hips and pull her closer to me. We kept kissing and one thing led to another.

Archer POV

It was bad enough that Daryl came back to my life after so long but last night when I saw him, he just wasn't right in the head. I had so many things going on in my head. He literally thought that I thought he was shit and wasn't good enough. What the hell?

First off I've been friends with him since I moved into the neighborhood.

I've helped him with school and convinced him to stay until he graduated.

I told him every day that he was amazing which he didn't believe but I did it anyway.

I had my first time with him.

I told him I loved him and I still do. I always will.

What sucks is that I have this huge secret that could change everything but I can't tell him until I know that he is man enough to handle it.

Daryl POV

We woke up the next morning half-dressed and in our own sleeping bags. We looked at each other and just shrugged as we got dressed to hunt for some breakfast.

"You don't regret anything right?" I asked.

"No. I'm actually glad it happened. The highlights of my night were with you in them." She smiled as she walked away from the truck with her bow and arrow.

I shook my head at the compliment. That girl was something else.

I woke up around noon with a massive headache. Not only was I suffering from a hangover but I just kept thinking about Archer's words. She always somehow picked me. It finally hit me as I was showering the biggest thing she did.

About a month after the party Archer came home that weekend with her car full of shit. I was at her dad's house before she arrived because she asked me too.

"What is all this junk?" I asked as she got out of the car.

"I'm moving back home where I belong." She replied smiling.

"Wait what?"

"I told them I was leaving. I hated being there and I needed control of my life. I packed everything and I quite the private school."

"What about college and all that crap?"

"I'll get a job and save the money. Not like I have to go right after high school. I could also file for financial aid. I thought it all through."

"You sure about that?"

She wrapped her arms around my waist and hugged me. "I'm positive. Now help me unpack my shit." She nudged me and grabbed a box from her car before going inside her home.

She left her mom and stopped talking to her so she could be back home with us. College was something she did want. She was a smart enough girl but since she wasn't going to ask for her step father's money she was going to earn it herself but I guess not anymore. She's 25 years old now. I'm sure going to college is out of her mind by now.

I felt like the biggest Jackass ever. I had to actually talk to her and sober me not drunk me. I went out to the kitchen and found Merle smoking while fiddling with his breakfast.

"There you are baby brother. Thought you drunk yourself dead." He smirked.

"You didn't even bother to check? Asshole." I replied while getting myself a cup of coffee.

"Shut up. How did it go with our girl Archer?"

"Bad. I was drunk and she told me to get lost."

He laughed. "Did she threatened the arrow in the ass?"

I smirked. "No but she said I had more shit coming out of my mouth than my ass."

"That girl has spunk. Wonder why I never fucked her?"

"Cuz I fucked her and you old as shit." I retorted a little pissed my brother thought about doing her.

"Calm your tits Darylina. She gave me a pretty shiner the time I asked her. I learned my lesson."

"Have you talked to her while I've been gone?"

"I see her time to time."

"Do you know why she works at a diner?"

I watched as he frowned and shift uncomfortably. "That's…that's not my story to tell."

"The hell Merle? Since when did you keep your mouth shut?"

"It's not something to just brag about as much as I would want to."

"Fine I'll go ask her myself."

I left the house and hoped on my bike as I made my way to her apartment. Four years later and I still know where it is. I parked right in front of her building and looked up at the second floor to her door. I watched as the door opened and she came out looking to her right with a huge smile on her face.

What I saw was the most shocking thing in my life and I had no idea how to wrap my mind around it.
