Carol woke up to the sound of movement outside of Daryl's cell, she was half interested to know who it was and why they were there but the other half of her didn't really care. All she really cared about was the fact that Daryl was holding her as close to him as humanly possible and she could feel his cool breath on her face.

She heard someone talking and immediately wanted them to go away, knowing that it wouldn't be long before the noise woke Daryl up, but considering the fact she couldn't untangle herself from his arms to tell whoever it was to get gone, she simply lay there smiling, watching his eyelids as they twitched while he dreamt.

One eye slowly opened and he blinked a few times, adjusting to the light in the room, "What?" He asked, eyeing her up sceptically, it only made her smile grow wider, he narrowed his one open eye and lifted his head off the pillow a few centimetres. "What are you grinnin' at?"

"You're cute while you're sleepin'." She told him genuinely.

Daryl scoffed and dropped his head back down on the pillow, "Cute." He mimicked her.

She nodded and made a figure eight on his chest with her index finger, "Very." She added, the smile never leaving her face.

"What's goin' on out there?" He asked groggily.

"No idea," Carol shrugged, "Just forget about whoever it is for the time bein', we've got nothin' to get up for."

"Sadly, you're wrong. I told Beth she could have the mornin' off Judith duty."

"You're a babysitter now?" She asked raising her eyebrows.

"We all take our turns lookin' out for ass kicker." He explained with a shrug.

Carol nodded once and shivered as he ran his fingers up her spine, his hand came to rest on the back of her neck and he placed a rough kiss on her lips, "Can't we just spend the day in bed?" She asked quietly.

"If only." He replied with a coy smile, he kissed her again, this time more tenderly, he moved his hand and placed it on the small of her back, pinning her to him, "Come with me?"

"When you ask like that, how could a girl refuse?"

"Don't make me beg." He pouted his soft lips and she chuckled, "You've done all this before, I haven't."

Carol's smile wavered momentarily but she shook her head and forced a smile.

"Did I say somethin' wrong?" He asked propping his head up on his hand.

Carol shook her head and cupped his cheek in her hand, "No, you just made me think of Sophia that's all. It's okay though, I'm okay."

Daryl nodded his head slowly, "I'd do anythin' to give her back to you." He mumbled quietly.

"I know you would."

He didn't know what else to say and so he pressed his lips gently against hers, he wasn't quite sure how it happened but somehow Carol ended up straddling him, her hands placed on his chest as she kissed him rather passionately.

She knew it was only a matter of time before he put a stop to this, but that didn't mean she couldn't enjoy it while it lasted. She moaned into his lips as, in a moment of confidence, he placed one hand on one of her breasts. Since their 'encounter' in the shower room they hadn't really gone too far, for Daryl it was mostly because he didn't want to start something he couldn't finish. But there was something different this morning, something which told Carol that if they weren't in a prison filled with people and they didn't have things to do, well, who knows what could have happened.

"We're on diaper duty." He reminded her, removing his hands from her and letting them drop to his sides. "We can pick this up later." He breathed in a husky tone of voice.

"Don't make promises you have no intention of keepin'." She mumbled breathlessly.

Daryl smiled slightly and shook his head, "I have every intention of keepin' that promise." He fidgeted underneath her, "Can you get off me now?"

"Why Daryl?" She asked, not-so-innocently rocking her hips back and forth. She smirked as he groaned, "Oh, I see."

"Just get off." He blushed.

She chuckled as he slid from underneath her and stood up with his back to her as he rearranged his member.

"Tease." She breathed swinging her legs off the bed and waiting for him to turn around, he pulled on his boots and picked up his jacket, holding it in front of his crotch as he turned to face her.

"Thanks, now I can't leave right away." He feigned irritation though his eyes told her he wasn't remotely annoyed.

Carol smiled and stood up in front of him, she pecked him on the lips and turned to leave.

"Aren't you gonna wait for me?"

She shook her head and bit down softly on her bottom lip, "As tempting as that offer is, someone promised we'd go on diaper duty."

Daryl's lips twitched upwards as she disappeared into the cellblock he admired her sass more than anything else. He wondered idly where today could have gone as he waited, with his jacket his hiding his modesty, for the blood to return to the head on his shoulders.
