Warm Me Up

Beth frowned and pulled the blanket closer around her shoulders. She hated being cold. She was always cold. It was her damn thyroid, she'd been on medication before everything had happened, but she'd run out and Maggie hadn't been able to find any anywhere. She'd managed to deal and live with all of the other side effects, but the cold that constantly set into her skin was driving her crazy. Daryl kept looking at her as she kept inching closer and closer to the fire. "You okay?" Daryl asked.

Beth shook her head. "I'm freezing. I'm always freezing."

"Come here." He held out his arms. Beth blushed a little, but if it was a chance to warm up, she wasn't going to say no. She scooted over to him. He pulled her into his arms, sitting her in front of him and wrapped his arms around her. "Better?" he asked.

Beth nodded her head a little bit, blushing. "Thanks."

"Why are you always so damn cold?" He sighed and rested his chin on her head. "You're always shaking."

"I have thyroid problems." She sighed and rested back against him as he body started to warm. "I've learned to live with it, but the cold really gets to me." She sighed happily and rested back against his chest.

"Guess I just need to keep you warm then."
