My Little Consoler

Just a few hours ago, I went out to search for my brother Merle. Apparently he took Michonne and was going to turn her in to the Governor. When I got there I found my brother as a walker and it fuckin' destroyed me inside. Hell, I know my brother was a certified asshole, but it still pained me to see 'im like that.

I had to put him down, tears of anger and sadness fillin' my vision as I did so. I know merle wasn't the best brother, but he was almost always there, when he wasn't in jail or doing god knows what.

The whole way back to the prison I tried to pull myself together. I didn't want anyone to see what was hidden behind the fake emotions I adorned. There was only one person who'd I let see the real pain I feel, and that was my girl. It was hard to show 'er my true feelings, but I know she's gonna be there for me and not give a shit if I'm actin' like a pussy.

I got back to the prison, avoidin' everyone I could so I could get back to my cell. I went into our room, my head hangin' low my hair hanging loosely around my face, barely seein' Timi's reaction to my depressed body. I felt her watchin' me and probably takin' in the knowledge of what happened while I was out there.

I heard 'er come over quickly and she wrapped her small arms around my waist, holdin' me close to her small body. I felt her hands rub up and down my back tryin' to comfort me the best way she knew how. It definitely felt pretty good at the most part.

She had 'er head on my chest and mumbled out, "I'm so sorry Daryl."

I shook my head, let out a rugged breath, and said, "He was dead when I got there, he turned. I had to put him down. I just want my brother back."

I started to feel the sensation of cryin', but I tried hard to keep it under control by lettin' out shaky breaths. She pulled me over to the bunk and sat me down with 'er in my lap so I can lay my head on 'er shoulder. I wrapped my arms around 'er waist, holdin' 'er close to me because at this moment I didn't want to let 'er go. She's the only one I got left that is remotely close to me.

Timi had 'er left hand on my right shoulder and 'er right hand in my hair, stroking it lightly. It felt so good, she definitely knew how to keep me calm. A few tears that I couldn't hold back, escaped my eyes, and is probably wettin' 'er shoulder. I gues I really need this, all the emotions I've been keepin' inside for a long time is tryin' to push its way up and no matter how much I try to keep it back, it's still there somewhere.

"It's all my fault, I shoulda been there. To help him. I can't save nobody, I'm worthless," I said in between some shaky breaths.

Timi spoke up and said, "Daryl don't say that. It's not your fault, you can't save everyone. You're only one person and you are definitely are not worthless; you are the bravest, kindest, caring man I've ever met and don't put yourself down."

I pulled 'er closer to me, lovin' 'er words, and sniffled before saying, "I just wish I could have been there, save 'im. He might have done some fucked up things, but I miss my brother."

"I know you do, he was always there for you, he was your brother and he was the last shared blood in this fucked up world."

I nodded and asked, "Why ya so sweet to me?"

"Because I love you and I know you're hurting. I'll always be here for you so you don't beat yourself up so much."

I lifted my head and looked at 'er, "You're the best thing that ever happened to me and ya make me feel like a good guy."

"You are a good guy Daryl and you don't need me to make you feel that way," she said with a sincere smile.

I kissed 'er softly for a few seconds before I pulled away. I took my left hand and touched 'er soft cheek, which still held a slight fadin' bruise from the Governors punch a week ago and said, "I'm gonna kill that Governor for hurtin' my brother, my group, and my girl. That asshole is going to pay for everythin'."

She nodded 'er head and said, "I know you will, just be careful when that day comes."

"Course," I said and kissed 'er again.

"Ricks looking for you two, I'm sorry didn't mean to…," Carol said as she interrupted our touchin' moment.

"It's fine, tell Rick we'll be there soon," I nearly growled out at the women.

Carol nodded and quickly walked out of our cell.

"C'mon, don't want to keep 'im waiting," I said as Timi got off my lap.

Just before we walked out, I turned to face Timi and said, "Thank ya for bein' here for me kid, ya know how to keep me calm, and I love ya."

"I'll always be here for you no matter what because I love you too," she said to me.

I had a small smile form on my lips and kissed 'er cheek. I grabbed 'er right hand with my left and enlaced our fingers. We left our cell, heading towards the meeting to figure out how to destroy the Governor. I'm a lucky man to have 'er in my life and I hope I'll be able to protect 'er for years to come. I think today brought us closer and we'll always be here for each other no matter what.
