Hi everyone :)

This chapters a bit of a filler chapter, so if it's a little drab then I apologise. I just want to say thanks again for all the reviews and what not, it really means the world.

Daryl chewed absentmindedly on the inside of his mouth as he watched Carol talk to Tyreese. Was it completely senseless to be jealous of their relationship? Sure, he had a great relationship with Carol as it was, but he envied the ease Carol and Tyreese had, the way that they stood laughing like they didn't have a care in the world, the way she would touch his arm occasionally while they spoke, the way they hugged... He envied the closeness.

Tyreese stood with his arms folded across his chest, nodding animatedly as Carol spoke, a goofy smile plastered across his face.

Carol stood with her head tilted as she chatted away, Daryl wasn't an expert when it came to body language or flirting, but it seemed almost too obvious to him that there was something there.

"See you at the weddin' then." Carol concluded as she began backing away.

Tyreese nodded once and smiled before disappearing into a cell he shared with his sister.

Daryl averted his eyes and looked at a spot on the concrete as soon as he noticed Carol searching the crowds of people for...well...maybe him? He wasn't sure... He could only live in hope.

Though he couldn't see her, he heard her walking up behind him, he didn't turn to face her, just continued to stare.

"Good mornin'." Carol breathed, "I've been lookin' for you." She added with a small smile.

Daryl shrugged and finally looked at her, "You were probably too busy with tall, dark and loathsome to notice I've been standin' here for the past half an hour."

Carol was taken aback, was she imagining things or was Daryl acting weird? Jealous even... She didn't waver though, her smile remained wide, "Who? Tyreese?"

"Tall, dark and loathsome." Daryl confirmed with a nod.

Carol laughed once and shook her head, "That his new name?"

"It is to me."

"You barely know the guy," Carol pointed out, "He's really nice." She added prodding him in the forearm.

"I don't wanna know him," He stated with shrug, "I have enough friends and enough acquaintances, I don't need no more."

"Fair enough," Carol smiled, "Anyway, I wanted to tell you that Rick doesn't need us on watch today, he's got Michonne and Carl up there."

"That it?"

"Yeah," She began as she eyed him up sceptically, "What's wrong with you? You were in a good mood yesterday and the day before that...now it's like you don't wanna know me."

Daryl shot her a sideways glance and looked away again, "Sorry." He mumbled, "Just not feelin' too great."

"Need to see Hershel?"

"Nah." He shook his head and looked down at his feet, "I just wish I had watch to distract me from my thoughts today."

"You know, I'm quite a good distraction." Carol told him, she nudged him playfully and caught his gaze. "You can talk to me."

"I know." Daryl replied and for a moment they just stared at each other.

"About anythin'..."

"I know." He repeated with a nod of his head, he swallowed hard and finally tore his eyes away from hers, "Is everythin' ready for the weddin'?"

"Yep, there's nothin' left to do."

Daryl nodded coolly as he stared down from the walkway; he watched as Tyreese left his cell and made his way across to Hershel and the others, he looked across at Carol who was watching him carefully, "What?"

"Nothin'." She smiled, "Just thinkin'." She raked her slender fingers through her short hair and smiled slightly, "You know, if this was a normal weddin' we'd have to have dates."

Daryl stared at her for a few seconds before looking away again, "Ask Tyreese."

"I swear you're obsessed with that man," Carol said as she bit down on her bottom lip, "Actually I was hintin' at you. You could take me."

"This ain't a normal weddin'." Daryl replied a little too quickly, "And I don't do dates."

Carol nodded slowly, the sting from rejection a little too painful, "A simple no would have sufficed." She mumbled.

"It's stupid, this whole thing is just...stupid."

"How so?"

"Well..." Daryl began, he splayed his fingers out on the iron bar and shrugged, "Havin' a weddin' when the worlds gone to shit."

"Maybe, but maybe it's just a bit more special that they're havin' it despite the world going to shit." Carol reasoned, "They found something beautiful in this world, I think that's worth celebratin'."

Daryl shrugged again and stood up straight, "I think it's worth nothin'." He stated before walking away.
