Existing hearts
Chapter 10
Hello my dears! This is a little chapter for you guys of just Layla and Daryl having a moment. As I have a feeling that Episode 8 is going to be very hectic so not much of Daryl and Layla being loving will be written by me! Therefore, here is a little filler for you lovely people!
Layla moves her body closer to Daryl's so their shoulders are rubbing against each other's. Daryl leans over, kisses Layla's forehead, and rubs his nose against it.
''We do this together, I will fight to the death to keep you alive.'' He whispers.
Layla moves her lips to meet his and softly kisses his lips. ''I am not losing you, I will fight with you and we will win.'' She breathes.
Daryl smirks at her. ''You are never losing me again. I am not going through that hell again your hear me?'' He whispers.
Layla shakes her head. ''I hear you, knowing I wouldn't wake up in your arms everyday broke my heart.'' Layla stutters.
Daryl smirks. ''Naked by any chance?'' He asks coyly.
Layla rubs her hand down his face. ''Remember our deal?'' She whispers.
Daryl glares at her. ''You still sticking to that?'' He asks.
Layla nods. ''Now more than ever.'' She says.
Daryl knows she's referring to what happened to Lori, she could have the same problem as her mum and Daryl wasn't having her die that way. ''I'll try to go on a supply run at some point. But, we can always be a little careful when and if we do.'' He says rubbing his hand across her shoulder.
Layla nods. ''I'm not saying we can't without protection if we find it, I just want to be cautious.'' She says.
''Just remember that I love you and making love to you is only one small reason to why I fell in love with you. When I thought you'd died I just wanted to beat the shit out of everything. I didn't like not being able to know that you were okay.'' He whispers.
''I fell in love with the man in front of that wall of yours and then the man behind it started to make appearance. That's when I fell desperately in love with you. Daryl I love everything about you. You are my one and only and that's how it's going to stay.'' She whispers.
Daryl kisses her more forcefully this time astounding Layla. ''You're the only woman to say those three words to me and that means the world to me. You've taught me that it's okay to love and that it doesn't make you weaker only stronger.'' He says.
Layla holds back the tears and grips his hands. ''Oh Daryl.'' She breathes. ''You're opening up to me, this will make you stronger. Getting all this out will make you stronger because it will make you realize that you aren't worthless, you are worth something and that is why you are my everything.'' She says.
Daryl places his lips next to her ear. ''You are my everything too. The person I am now is down to you, I'm more affectionate because of you, I'm able to express my feelings because of you and I'm able to tell you that I love you because of you. I'm the person I am now because of you Layla.'' He says.
Layla shakes her head and chuckles a little. ''It's not all down to me; I haven't been around for eight months. You have done all of those things on your own because you aren't in anyone's shadow anymore you are your own person. You are Daryl Dixon the toughest and sexiest redneck to ever live.'' She whispers.
Daryl looks deep into Layla's eyes. ''And your Layla Grimes, the toughest cop's daughter to ever live, the only woman I've seen to throw a knife and shoot a gun better than me. And this tough girl right here has the right to call me hers.'' He says.
Layla cuddles her body into his. '' You've had the right since the first moment our eyes met to call me yours. I knew from that moment I had to have you.'' Layla breathes.
Daryl kisses the top of her head. ''Like I said all those months ago, I wouldn't be surprised if I fell in love with you the first moment I saw ya.'' He says.
''We're both cut from the same piece of cloth. Meant to be.'' Layla whispers into his chest.
''Beautiful I ain't gonna argue with you there.'' He says.
Layla smiles to herself and then whispers. ''That nickname is so much better than little lady.''
Daryl chuckles tightening his grip around her stomach and shoulder. ''Well they both fit, you're a little lady and you're beautiful.'' He says.
Layla lifts her eyes up to meet his that are looking down on her. ''you're strong, you're handsome and most importantly you rock my world.'' She says smirking.
''Once upon a time that was the only thing I wanted out of a woman.'' He breathes.
Layla looks up at him with concern. ''Not anymore right?'' She asks.
''Hell no!'' He hisses. ''Having those moments with you when we become one are amazing but everything else is so much better.'' He says.
Layla smiles up at him. ''Good.'' She whispers.
Daryl then looks above the car and sees the guards walking up and down the wall. Layla shuffles herself out from under his arm and takes her hand in his tight.
''You ready to have my back?'' He whispers to her.
Layla smiles at him. ''I was born ready.'' She says.
''Till the end.'' He says.
''Till the end.'' Layla repeats.
Well I hope you liked this little filler! I certainly enjoyed writing this! Love you all so leave me a review, follow, favourite, and I shall see you all Monday when I write up the mid-season finale! I cannot wait to write Layla shooting the fuck out of everything! Much love and cuddle, Vmk-xx.
