“merle’s dead.”
you look up from your knife-sharpening and swing your legs over the edge of your bed, its rickety frame creaking beneath you. “what?”
rick props himself against the doorway of your cell, hands pocketed. “he let michonne go.” he pauses, leaning out to check the walkway. “daryl went—”
“is michonne okay?” you ask, stabbing your knife into your desk when you stand.
rick’s eyes fix to the blade as it springs back and forth, then look back to you. “she’s fine. nasty headache, but nothin’ to be concerned about.”
“how’d he die?” you perch yourself atop the desk, arms folded.
“i don’t know.”
you nod, not caring either way. “and are we meant to be saddened by this?”
“not particularly, but—”
“how do you even know he’s dead?” you interrupt, swinging your legs.
“daryl went to look for him.” rick finally gets chance to tell you. “came back alone, covered in blood that ain’t his, with a face like i’ve never seen on any man before.”
daryl. your heart sinks.
“he looked like me when lori. . .” his eyes drift to stare at nothing, blank and spaced.
you slide from the desk and place a hand on your friend’s shoulder. “it’s okay, i know.” and he nods, lowering his head. “where is he?”
rick clears his throat, lifting a hand to scrub at his temples. they always seem so tense and burdened; and even beneath the comfort of your palm, his shoulders still bear the weight of the world. “his cell, i think.”
you give his shoulder a pat and offer him a closed-mouthed smile, then sidle past him down the walkway.
a few wrong turns later, you hear what sounds like daryl-ish noises, and round a corner to the cell he claimed. on the farthest side of the block, isolated from everyone else. it’s dark and dingy, and even your breathing seems to echo in its emptiness. you’ve only been to this part of the prison a few times, and each time you get lost.
“daryl?”
the movement stops and you’re met with silence. eerie and unwelcoming. you blink, and in the stillness you swear you hear it.
“it’s me.” you take a step nearer, and now you see a glow dim as an ember. it looks like a bunsen burner he’s found and fixed, the smell of charred dust making for an unpleasant aroma.
then the rustling and rattling resumes, and you can make out the familiar clicking of his crossbow being reloaded.
shit. you barge through his cell door just as a bolt lodges into the wall, mere millimetres from your face. the breeze from its velocity actually wafts over you and you stop dead, eyes wide.
then a large, tanned hand appears in front of your nose and grips the arrow by its neck, ripping it free. concrete and brick crumble like sand from where the point bit into it, and cracks have started to form where other holes puncture it.
he remains wordless, striding back to the far end of his cell to reset the bolt, no doubt blunted.
you sigh, placing a hand to your chest. “i spoke to rick.”
still, he says nothing, fingers fiddling with the bow’s mechanism as he cranks it into place.
“is it true about merle?”
his hands pause, then he goes right back to pulling the string into its latch.
you move to stand in front of the wall just as he raises his weapon, and finally his eyes meet yours — swollen from crying. you’ve never seen him like this; not even after sophia or dale.
“move.” he gruffs, expression hard.
“no,” you parrot, blunt. “you’re damaging your bolts.”
“move.” he repeats, harsher this time.
“no,” you also repeat, harsher too.
his eyes narrow, bow adjusting in his grip. he places one foot in front of the other, finger hovering over the trigger.
“go on, then.” you swallow, testing him. “shoot me. make me second on the list of people you lost today, see if it helps.”
his jaw ticks, arms flexing and chest heaving. the stirrup aligns with your forehead, the black beak of the bolt set to burrow right between your eyes.
then the crossbow disappears to hang at his side and he drops it, the clatter of it ringing throughout the cell block when it hits the floor.
his shoulders slump defeatedly and he avoids looking at you, shaggy hair cascading over his eyes.
slowly, like you’re approaching a wild animal, you tread toward him. “it’s true, then.”
he nods once, barely. hardly. anyone else would’ve missed it, but you know him. you can read him like a book and his body language always speaks louder than he does.
you’re in front of him now, hand reaching for his. he lets you get close, then shrinks into himself and turns away from you.
“you don’t have to do this alone.” you whisper, a little hurt that he still refuses to let you in despite how close the pair of you have become. “just ‘cause he’s gone, doesn’t make you alone.”
“shut up.” he growls, whirling on his heels to confront you. most people would flinch but you just watch him, unfazed. “the hell would you know?” an accusatory finger jabs you in the sternum, but still you stand there.
he spins from you again, pacing with features like thunder. “always meddlin’.” he murmurs, kicking at various objects. “always fussin’.” he storms over to you, nose-to-nose. “i don’t need ya. didn’t need him, don’t need them,” he motions to the other cells. “and i sure as hell don’t need you.” his hand comes up to your face, pointing angrily at you.
“what’s all this?” you grab his hand, his words bouncing off you with little meaning. he falters when your thumbs brush over the small circular burns that blotch the back of his hand and he snatches it away, turning his back to you.
you place a hand on his arm. “you’ve been doing it again.” and the sickening realisation that the burning you smelled wasn’t the bunsen, but his skin, ails you.
he ducks from your touch, cupping his hand. “leave me be, will ya? fuck off.”
you scan his cell, spotting his zipper and a carton of cigarettes on his mattress. you grab them and crunch the lighter beneath your boot, then hold the carton over the bunsen flame. it easily catches alight and you drop that to the ground too, confronting it with the wrath of your boot.
“that’s enough of that bullshit.” you decide, wiping your sole against the metal leg of his bunk. “that won’t bring him back, and you’re stronger than this, daryl dixon.”
he watches you settle atop his bed and pat the space beside you. “and put the face away.” you tell him. “cigarettes are replaceable.”
“so’s skin.” he retorts, glaring at you through his hair.
you scowl up at him, then hover your hand over the bunsen’s open flame. “maybe, but cigarettes can’t develop wounds or infections.”
he marches forward to smack your hand away, and switches the gas until the flame disappears. “the fuck you doin’?”
“the fuck are you doing, daryl?” you snap, cradling your blistering hand. “sit the fuck down.”
he just stands there.
“sit down.” you sneer. “now.”
he chews at his lip, then plonks himself at the foot of his bed. “bossy.”
you arch a brow. “pardon?”
“nothin’.”
you smirk, the man you’d massacre millions for finally making his return. “i don’t have cooties.” you tug at his vest. “c’mere.”
he side-eyes you, then shuffles a little closer, reclining against the wall.
there’s a beat of comfortable silence — peaceful and familiar. the two of you often sit together, just enjoying each other’s company in the quiet.
then he lifts his thumb to his mouth and starts to nibble at his nail — a habit you’ve been trying to get him out of. it’s something he does when he’s got something to say, but doesn’t know how to say it.
“spit it out, dixon.”
“m’sorry.” he mumbles, retracting his thumb to pick at it instead.
you lean toward him, cupping your ear. “huh? i didn’t quite catch that. . .”
he rolls his eyes. “sorry.”
you smile, resting your cheek on his shoulder. he goes rigid, then relaxes again after a second. “what for?”
“‘m just sorry.” he grumbles, itching at his burns.
“stop that.” you grab his hand. “no point in apologising if you’re not sure why you’re doing it.”
there’s a long pause as the cogs turn in his head, fingers drumming a random rhythm against his thigh. “. . .for everythin’.”
“well, that’s a lot of stuff to be sorry for.” you stick out your tongue, poking it against his skin. he nudges you with his elbow. “yeah, well. whatever.”
you hum, cootching up to his side. “i know he was your brother, but family doesn’t have to mean blood. i’m your family too, you know.”
“nah,” he bends his leg to rest his foot against the railing, forearm resting over his knee. “you’re my friend.”
“same difference.”
“merle was my brother, but he wasn’t my friend.” you feel him shift to glance down at you. “that’s the difference.”
you consider his words for a moment, then tilt your head to frown at him. his eyes were already on you. “just friend? like some regular average old friend?”
it takes him some self-control to not chuck you out. “fine. best friend.”
“that’s better.” you make yourself comfortable again, hogging most of the bed. “still haven’t apologised for almost shooting me in the face, by the way.”
“should’ve knocked. raised in a barn, or what?” he grunts, disinterested.
you scoff. “sorry, i didn’t know to look out for rogue arrows.”
“already apologised for everythin’.” he grumbles.
“i feel like this deserves a separate, more meaningful apology. like, from the heart.”

thanks to @irisdixon1023 for the fun idea! hope i did it justice even if i changed somethings
There were plenty of events that you had found yourself in the background of throughout the apocalypse.
You’d had to put things together at the drop of an eye because there were some questions you just didn’t ask. You didn’t need to be told the new man approaching camp was Carl’s father, evident enough by the way his mouth dropped open and Lori’s eyes flashed with hot fear and betrayal.
That unfolded in your mind exactly the same way as when you saw Shane come back from the woods with a busted nose and a manic look so intense it almost took your breath away, something cold and knowing settling in your gut but not quite strong enough for you to accuse him of planning anything.
You never put much thought into how you might come across to somebody just observing new people you’ve met on the road that might be making their own judgements on you. The end of the world had brought one relief and that was from the constant thought about your own presentation and what a stranger might think of you.
These already drawn conclusions were exactly the reason you were so confused with yourself for being so absorbed with why the red headed man kept glancing in your direction.
Truthly Abraham had never been somebody who bothered sugarcoating his words and pretending to be something he was not and that included being the type of person who was extremely curious about a certain dynamic he had seen unfolding in front of him.
He had only spent a few hours with you in the train car but he had managed to make a damn near solid case if he did say so himself and he was juggling with how much it was being challenged as soon as a few more bodies were thrown into the mix.
Both of you had looked worse for wear when his team found you alongside the gravely road, Glenn barely standing upright as they approached and then fully face planting the asphalt while you stared at him with a look that seemed to be a mixture of exhaustion and determination.
You kept your sentences short and sweet while Glenn was unconscious and you climbed into the back of the large truck but Abraham had a hard time being upset about your lack of manners considering you’d clearly been through hell's asshole before they had arrived.
His plans continued to be derailed and you proved to be a serious pain in the behind but he had felt strongly enough about his people reading to assume that you were one of two things, either just a bit slow emotionally or completely in love with the man you were traveling with.
Of course he felt only a bit disgruntled when said man actually woke up and spoke only of a loving wife that he clearly would stop at nothing to find in a very large haystack but then that could explain the heartbroken look you wouldn’t stop carrying around.
It made full sense to him that you were in love with a taken man and so desperately that you were willing to risk your life to help him be happy with somebody else so he was now fully offended when he offered this idea to Glenn one night after you’d fallen asleep, just for him to laugh in his face.
Then you had been thrown into the traincar and you suddenly took on a heavy expression of grief, like you had only just now accepted you were not going to find whatever it was that you were looking for. He had figured beforehand that you had lost someone permanently but apparently you had a mission of your own.
When the doors were opening again, this time he was happy to be an observer.
The two men entering the car looked equally as deadly as you had standing on that road side and ready to go to war for your friend's limp body and he almost pieced together they were a part of your larger group before any of you actually had turned to notice them.
Everybody tensed at the same time and then it felt like the air in the train car suddenly got much lighter.
You’d barely looked at the bearded man that seemed to automatically capture everybody's attention first, almost like they were waiting for him to give them a command before they even processed he was standing in front of them again.
Your eyes were stuck on someone else entirely and he was happy to finally have some entertainment after being sat next to a mumbling Eugene for far too many hours.
He didn’t need a lick of guessing to know what type of man the second was and he almost wanted to have his guard farther up if it wasn’t for the young boy beside him, peering around with big scared eyes. (Plus the fact he had come to respect you and the sight of you staring like the rugged man had hung the stars was good enough reason to relax).
The bearded man seemed to finally notice you standing there and he gave you an overwhelmingly fatherlike look, seeming like he wanted to pull you into a hug but deciding against it for reasons Abraham couldn’t quite figure out just yet.
His counterpart didn’t have the same problem and you let out a sob when he finally looked over to you, his entire tense frame melting like a little kid as he stumbled his way through the dark train car so he could fall against you.
You cradled his head like it was the single most important thing in the world and your friends around you seemed like they were suddenly walking on eggshells to avoid disturbing you and making you pull out of the emotional moment.
First assumption was that you were related in some way but that quickly faded when he noticed the way the man had his hands low on your back, squeezing and pulling you closer and closer like he could feel you slipping through his fingers.
There was nothing overtly romantic about it and certainly not sexual, not with the way you sobbed harder seeing his bruised face and sullen expression, but it definitely was too close for comfort if you were father and daughter adjacent.
Second assumption was gone as fast as it came, absolutely not lovers judging by the way you were quick to stumble out of his grasp as soon as you noticed Maggie and Glenn watching curiously, his hands lingering but eventually having to fall back to his side once you were out of reaching distance.
You made haste to hug the young boy and distract yourself from the blatant showcase of something that most likely was a secret, both to each other and the others but possibly to yourselves.
The man didn’t take his eyes off of you the entire time you all sat there devising a plan and you sobbed like a woman scorned when they were throwing flash bangs inside the car before dragging him away, having to send a swift kick to your ribs to get you to let go of his arm.
Abraham observed a scary switch in you now that he was gone again and the small almost fragile girl from before was once again replaced with the silent and constantly armed one, all emotions stripped down to your bare bones until you were left with instinct alone.
He kept watching your group during the days that followed the fall of Terminus, building up his strongly held opinions on each of them individually and then again in pairs and larger clumps. He couldn’t help the fact that you and Daryl struck his interest, boredom taking over for the most part although Rostia had told him he needed to get a better hobby.
It was impossible not to wonder now that he knew more about the two of you, although he’d yet to speak to your male counterpart. There was a large part of him that figured it wouldn’t end too pleasantly and he was halfway busy with sucking up to you all so you’d accompany him to the end of the line for Eugene and the cure.
So he didn’t pick a fight with the archer although he wasn’t sure you would have allowed it anyways.
You were small in size but he had managed to get a few glimpses of what you could do with rage and a blunt wooden stick alone back at Terminus so he wasn’t particularly interested in seeing how you fared with a knife
You were constantly next to Daryl and it was almost a foreign sight to see one of you without the other, a strange feeling settling over anyone whenever you’d wander in alone or the rare times he went hunting without you.
There was a glint in your eye whenever somebody talked to you, like you were ready to pounce on your own family members if you needed to just to keep the man next to you safe at all cost. He was halfway to asking Maggie if you had been like that before you were separated or if it was a new adjustment but he decided against it when he saw her fondly holding Rick’s baby.
He was finding it a bit ridiculous that there were so many moving parts in your poorly oiled machine yet it was running smoothly and, not only that, but you actually seemed to love and care about each other beyond means of survival.
Abraham decided it wasn’t any of his business anymore as soon as he ruled you and Daryl off the list of potential people who would come along on his mission, pushing you to the back of his mind to will off any distractions.
_____
Maggie had always known there was something lingering deep in you for the older man but she was quickly realizing she didn’t know the half of it apparently because the way you gripped onto him for dear life was extremely telling.
She was already surprised enough that you had practically leapt into his arms but what really struck her was how willing he was to fold over into you and meet your sobs with cries of his own.
She knew Daryl was more than what he looked like, more than what he even said most of the time but that still didn’t mean he was ever this open and vulnerable around any of them before. Even Rick sent her a thrown off look that she fought hard in the few seconds it lasted to try and understand.
Your mood had been sour for the time it took you all to find Terminus after reuniting her and Glenn but there were a thousand things she would’ve guessed as the cause of it before assuming you were mourning Daryl Dixon.
Maybe she had been blinded by her own worries and the blossoming of her love so she didn’t pay attention to the signs or maybe they were just new but they were impossible to ignore now although every one seemed to be trying their very best.
Did he always hand you your portion of food first, followed by sneaking bites of his own onto your plate when you both pretended you weren’t watching him do it?
Had it always been almost instinct that you would fall asleep next to each other, never touching but close enough to touch if you ever just reached out? She was thinking now that she wasn’t sure you slept the entire time you spent on the tracks, always awake on a watch shift when she drifted off and staring into the dying fire by the time she opened her eyes again.
Yet you seemed to have no problem drifting off with your head on Daryl’s shoulder.
When did Daryl stop flinching under your touch and since when were you so touchy anyways? Your hands were almost constantly rubbing up and down his arm or holding onto his wrist like you were stopping him from leaving except he didn’t seem to ever be going anywhere, not from you at least.
She wondered if you always looked so calm and gentle when peering up at him or if that was also a new development. She couldn’t read his gaze back down on you and she wasn’t really sure she wanted to, feeling guilty about her silent spying.
Glenn told her that it wasn’t a big deal and everybody people watched but he also denied seeing anything between the two of you so either he was lying to make her feel better or he simply wasn’t watching hard enough.
There wasn’t anything wrong with the age difference in her mind but she still occasionally caught Rick sending the two of you glances and she almost hoped it was just his fatherly urge to protect you like he always had.

You could tell something had changed between you and Daryl but you weren’t too focused on defining whatever it was.
He had always been the number one person you paid attention to and you couldn’t stop thinking about him your entire stay at the prison but the pain of losing him and thinking it was for forever was clearly the push you needed to never let him forget this again, even though you hadn’t told him directly.
There was no way he didn’t know how you felt when you stared into his eyes and kept your hand on his chest, whispering lowly how happy you were for him to be back with you. He would have to truly be the dimmest person in the world to think your reaction to seeing him again was just a fluke or you not thinking straight.
Daryl must be aware of how you feel because you don’t think he would risk treating you the way he did if he didn’t.
He was sweet to you and doted on you like you were already lovers and his favoritism was apparent to anybody who paid attention for more than a few minutes. He remained as gruff and abrasive as always but he let you brush the hair from his face and his tone sounded far sweeter aimed towards you.
You knew he had feelings for you and you also knew he wouldn’t let you in on that secret unless he suspected you felt similarly.
“Couldn’t even breathe.” You had found yourself outside the stuffy church together again, somewhere just off in the treeline and leaning against a thick tree stump.
His back was pressed into the bark but your own was against his chest, sat on the drying leaves between his spread legs and laying back on him, his hands resting skillfully next to your thighs so he wasn’t touching you too directly.
“Hm?” His hum was low and sweet and you noted that he sounded like he was drifting off to sleep, a light smile on your face at his abandoned defensive walls even though the topic of conversation was rather heavy.
“I pictured them all going one way or another but not you, never ever you.” You picked one of his hands off the ground so you could hold it in your own, resting in the air above your stomach as you smoothed over his rough calloused skin and traced shapes on his palm.
He said nothing when you sighed and relaxed your limbs again, this time with his hand landing on your stomach and being enclosed by yours so he couldn’t remove it so easily. You could feel his heartbeat pick up on your back and your mouth turned up with fondness.
You didn’t need him to remind you for the hundredth time that he hadn’t gone anywhere and he was still right here with you but it was still nice to hear him grumble it in his low voice, almost a shy whisper that you had to preen to hear.
Daryl may have needed to actually feel the effect of your death before he started to slowly showcase his affectionate side but you thought it was well worth the wait, feeling beyond grateful that he hadn’t pulled away from your clinginess yet.
You figured it would just be a few days of needing him close to process that he wasn’t gone after first losing him in the smoke of the prison and then watching him get ripped away in a similar fog as soon as you had him back finally but days turned into weeks and you were still trying to find a way to silence the ache.
His heart was only picking up in speed when you were using your hand to move his slowly, so slow you could barely tell it was going anywhere at all. You pushed it until his pinky finger was under the button of your small jean shorts and you paused when you heard his breath stutter.
Part of you wanted to turn back and check his expression, make sure this was something that he wanted but you couldn’t gather the courage. Instead you sat there with your hands like that and you felt a jolt of electricity when he was moving his hand on his own.
You didn’t let it get far, barely brushing the hem of your underwear before you were swiftly sitting up in a way that clearly startled him.
He didn’t have long to overthink and wonder if he had misread the situation because now you were on your knees in between his spread legs, as close as you could get and swaying forward like you were going to lay on his chest again.
The reality was much different than he expected and lifetimes better, your lips slotting against his and automatically drawing a high pitched sound from you. There had been countless times Daryl wondered what you sounded like and the knowledge was seering itself into his brain now, longing to bring more out of you.
Your hands were on his face and you were scrambling forward so you could be sat in his lap, legs on either side of his waist as you desperately leaned into the kiss. He was easily matching your pace and you felt an overwhelming heat when you heard him groan into your mouth.
“Daryl.” The sound of his name in that tone was enough to make anybody insane and his hands on your body proved it, one hand on your lower back but the other directly touching those godforsaken jean shorts you wore.
They were poor excuses for fabric and there had been a dozen times when you'd bent over in front of him long enough for him to catch a glimpse of your panties underneath, long enough for him to run a hand over his face and disappear into the guard tower for a few hours.
Now there was no reason to pretend he wasn’t looking at you, wasn’t running his rough hands over your perfectly smooth and innocent body. That seemed to be the only innocent thing about you considering your hips were starting to rock in his lap, just slow enough to make his head spin dangerously.
His big hands were both cupping your ass now and helping you move against him, loving the way you could barely kiss him as you struggled to hold your whines in.
“Feels so good.” You sounded absolutely pathetic and wrecked and he knew right then and there that he was truly perverted, grunting into your open mouth and thrusting his hips up to make you really feel him against your sensitive core. One of your hands had been running through his hair and you tugged at the feeling, crying out in surprise.
“Cmon sweetheart.” His voice was so low and raspy, vibrations going straight to your core and making you rock harder against him.
Your lips were swollen and wet when you moved them from his mouth down to his jaw, sucking and biting the skin wherever you could and making sure he was grunting straight into your ear so you could commit the sounds to memory.
He barely flinched when you sat up to pull your tank top off, a bit too hasty considering it was getting stuck on your arms for a second and he had to help you, eyes hazy when your head finally emerged and he could really look at you.
You felt touched that he watched your eyes for a few heavy breaths before he even bothered to let his gaze move down to your bare chest, rising and falling with your nipples standing at attention off his stare alone. His hands weren't wasting any time before gently cupping your soft mounds and your mouth parted in another high whine at the feeling.
Hips moving slower but still just as addicting, you were letting him worship your tits and really take his time memorizing the way your body looked on top of his like this.
Daryl had pictured you in a hundred scenarios that brought shame to his core and sometimes the disgust was enough to bury it back down but more often than not, he couldn’t stop thinking about how much he wanted this no matter how wrong it may be.
“No idea how much I thought about these hands.” Your voice was the highest pitch he’d ever heard and you were softly stuttering through your words like you’d forgotten where to place them, hand back in his hair and trying to be sly with the way you were moving his head downwards. “This mouth.. f-fuck.”
He may not be the most experienced, certainly not with girls as young and pretty as you but Daryl wasn’t as idiot. It was almost second nature to wrap his mouth around your nipple once he understood that’s what you were silently asking for, his entire arm wrapping around your back to keep you locked in place.
His muscles flexed when you made an extra loud sound and you suddenly remembered just how strong he really was, capable of really doing some damage to you right now if he decided that’s what he wanted. The thought sent heat further through you and you gasped out his name in repeated cries.
You were fully humping against him now and trying to get as much pressure on your core as you could but he was firm in his hold on your middle, practically making out with your tits in a way that was so lewd and filthy you felt lightheaded.
“I need more.” You were desperate now and on the verge of a sob, yanking on his hair impatiently and immediately diving into a nasty kiss the second he lifted his head to glare at you. Your tongue was so deep in his mouth he was able to fully suck on it, low sounds leaving him constantly now.
You hadn’t even realized you were falling until you hit the ground with his heavy frame falling over you, spreading your legs so he could slot himself between them easily.
“F-fuck you’re so hard.” You knew you sounded beyond fucked out already just from some dirty kissing but you couldn’t find it in yourself to be embarrassed. Although you clearly didn’t need to considering you weren’t at all exaggerating and Daryl was fully hard and moving his core against yours like he couldn’t stop himself.
“Pretty little thing.” His lack of vocalization didn’t bother you, not expecting it from him in the first place but you were almost grateful for his silence because it made every word he did say sound so much sweeter.
Daryl had never complimented you so directly before and it sounded ridiculous to flush over him calling you pretty while you were laying in the leaves, bare chest out and his hard on rubbing against you but it still made your body warm in a much purer heat than the rest of your body.
He did everything in his life with an aged roughness you had realized a long time ago, hands weapons even when he didn’t mean for them to be and even when it ate him up inside afterwards so you felt particularly touched that he had a gentle grasp on your ribs and hip like he was terrified of hurting you.
Although the thought of him hurting you did light something deep inside of you on fire but you decided to push that away and deal with it another time, slowing down your kisses once he started to fidget with the button and zipper on your shorts.
It was quick to go from dirty to romantic and you were grateful for the change even though you enjoyed the former just as much, the longing in your heart for a real sign that he felt similarly being slightly fulfilled when he was moving a hand to cup your cheek and really pay attention to the softer kiss.
You could tell he found amusement in his own patience bringing forth the opposite in you, a whiny annoyed noise leaving you as you started to tug at his belt impatiently and try to get him to resume what he was doing before you distracted him.
“Take it easy girl.” He was so close and the whispered words, light and affectionate enough that you almost forgot how lewd you were currently, made your eyes widened as you stared up at him hovering over you.
He made eye contact with you for only a brief second before he was looking away and you could see a heavy shyness in him that was directly opposite to the way he was pulling your shorts down your thighs and touching you before you’d even felt the wet air on your core.
Your breath caught in your throat and you wrapped your hands around his back, resting on his shoulder blades and you knew his vest would have the shape of your fingernails indented in the leather for a long time to come.
The low humming noise he was making against your neck seemed to be approval towards your neverending wetness and you were letting out a breathy laugh of pure hazy disbelief when you felt the head of his hard cock pressing against you.
You could hear him softly shushing you in a soothing manner, trying to get you to relax enough that he could actually push inside without seriously hurting you. You wondered if he could tell you had never done this before, suddenly self conscious that your inexperience was radiating off of you.
Unknown to you, he was thinking the same thing about himself and hoping you couldn’t feel the way his entire body was tensing to stop from pushing in before you were ready out of pure desperation that only you could bring out of him. It was hard not to act like a horny teenager when you were panting like you were getting fucked hard just from him touching your tits.
The combination was deadly and the sound he made when he started to actually fuck you was even worse, damn near ending your life then and there just to be immediately brought back when you felt the hot pain between your legs.
Now your pants were telling a different story and he did his best to slow down and let you get used to the sheer size of him stretching you out, not realizing the way your pupils were dilating and you were purposefully tightening your legs around his waist.
“M-more.” You were begging now as the pain started to go down and he gave you a look that told you he thought you were crazy, eyebrows furrowed as he started to shake his head in disagreement. “Please Daryl love it so much, hurts so good.”
That seemed to silence both the man above you and the entire forest, his body stiffening for a few seconds too long and your heart started to race with something not as nice as the flirty nervousness you normally felt around him.
You almost opened your mouth to apologize to him for making him uncomfortable, try to explain yourself and why you liked something like that without actually knowing the reason yourself. Instead your lips parted with another high whine when he started to move, clearly getting over whatever had made him pause and making it his personal mission to give you exactly what you wanted.
Daryl would never leave your sight again and you would stop at nothing to make sure of that so you had plenty of time for gentle, endless days to fill with romance and soft kisses that made your cheeks red. Today, however, was going to be reserved for something else entirely and you could’ve truly died happy there on the leaves with him on top of you.

So the other day, on a whim, I set about trying to pin down a rough age bracket for Merle and Daryl base don what little we know about them from the show.
What we know from the Daryl Dixon series is that their paternal grandfather died in 1944, and his wife was at home pregnant with Daryl and Merle's dad at the time. So the latest their dad could have been born was 1945.
'Survival Instinct' is considered canon with the show and it says that Will was a teen when Merle was born, so the latest that Merle could have been born would be 1977 when his dad was 19. (Still assuming that Will Dixon was born at the latest point possible, in 1945.)
In the Daryl Dixon series, he recollects watching Mork & Mindy with Merle "when [they] were young". Mork & Mindy's original syndication was in 1978-1982. Nickelodeon aired repeats from 1991-1995, but given that Merle was born when Will was a teen, Merle would have been well into adulthood by then, and not really "young". Further to this, I think that Daryl would have needed to be at least 4yrs of age to have strong memories of watching Mork & Mindy with Merle.
Merle was in and out of juvie when their mom died, and when Daryl was lost in the woods for 9 days sometime after her death. This is important because the absolute latest possible Merle could have been aged 13-17 (the years he would be able to go to juvie in the state of Georgia) would be between 1977-1981.
So anyway, here is a little screenshot from my spreadsheet. If any of these details are wrong or there are other data points to factor hmu because I'm not exactly great at datasets.
(the red portion is the only time it would be possible, in the latest possible timeline, for their mom to die while Merle was age-appropriate for juvenile detention).
EDIT: updated my screenshot because I realised there was some old data in there
EDIT 2: Adding the notes from when I started trying to work it out and the early versions of my spreadsheet. Because I did leave out some of of my original working when I posted this on Tumblr. I later changed my stance on what "young" might mean and expanded it significantly to simply mean "probably when Merle was 'raising' him, regardless of their respective ages".
And I'll probably work on it some more when I get time and headspace, to try and figure out a hard minimum age, an upper range, and then a better guess and where I, personally, would vibe their ages being, based on this info.
Okay, at the other end of this spectrum, we have the oldest Merle and Daryl could possibly be, given these parameters.
Now, this assumes that Will Dixon could have been as young as 13 when he fathered Merle, so I feel like it would be well within reason to assume he was older than that, even knowing he was a teen parent.
For me, I would put Merle being born in 1960 at the earliest, assuming his father was at least 16 when Merle was born, and 1963 at the latest.
This could put Daryl's birth year between 1967 to 1975. However, Daryl's age will always depend on Merle's age, as we know their mom died when Merle was in juvie (red on the spreadsheet), and he was in juvie when Daryl was lost in the woods after her death. There will always only be a five year period in which Merle was of age to be sent to juvenile detention for this to happen. At this time, Daryl was also old enough to be playing unsupervised with friends and running after them on their bikes when their mom died, so him being 4 years old at the time seems a bit of a stretch.
