Cuddling with cg!daryl during a storm...
You were little, kneeling on the bed to look out of the window. The wind howled, blowing around objects in the Alexandrian streets, thunder roared, and lightning flashed, lighting up your surroundings. Daryl was laying beside you, an arm tucked under his head. He looked up at you with soft eyes as you watched the storm with the childike wonder that he always admired. He saw how you looked in fascination as you watched the zig-zag like lines of lightning strike, and how after, you would sort of prepare yourself for the possible loud roar of thunder. Soon, your knees became sore, so you lay back down beside Daryl, tucking yourself in his large arms. His cuddles and hugs were so comforting, it felt like a huge weighted blanket full of love and care was wrapped around you. Daryl rolled over slightly to be able to grab your pacifier from the beside table, and he popped it in your mouth, which you suckled happily. You closed your eyes and burrowed further into his warm embrace, one of his hands coming up to stroke your cheek, then your head. He looked down at you as if you were the most precious thing to him, which you were. You were like a delicate little flower which he would never dare to harm. He would never harm you, he wouldn't be able to forgive himself if he did. You lay there in your caregivers arms, your eyes slowly fluttering shut, body relaxing.. the last thing you remember is a soft kiss being placed on your forehead.

a/n: thank u for sending this in to me nonnie bcos i have been all up in my daryl dixon feels and i just want him to smother me
daryl would ABSOLUTELY treat you like the prettiest princess in the whole entire world !! when he catches you doing your make up in the morning for work, or just because you like doing it, he stands there and admires you the entire time. you catch him smiling at you in the mirror, eyes full of awe as he watches you. โyer so pretty,โ heโd mumble, almost like a sigh. because he couldnโt get over how beautiful you were. he loves to take you out on dates every friday night, letting you get all dressed up and showing you off whenever you went. he loves the look he gets from guys when they look at you on his arm, and it always makes him a little cocky because yes. he, the local mechanic who was covered in oil and other engine fluids 99% of the time, pulled you.
he loves to take you into whatever store you wantโ wether you have the intention of buying anything or youโre simply just looking. if he catches you eyeing off an item of clothing he always tells you to try it on, and even if you donโt plan on buying it, heโll either buy it ( ignoring your protests ) or heโll sneak back to the store a few days later and leave it on the bed for you to wake up to when heโs left for work in the morning.
he loves it when you get your nails done too, and he especially loves paying for them as well. you always ask him what colour you should get, or if you guys have some wedding or something to go to, you always get a colour thatโll match what his wearing โ if not you always match his eyes.
daryl also has several nicknames for you, such as baby, sweetie, pretty princess, darlinโ, gorgeous girlโ the list keeps going on and on. youโre keeping track almost every day because heโs always got a new nickname for you but each and every time itโs making you all giddy like a lovesick teenager.

fiddling with the woven bracelets, her gaze stays glued to the way they rub against her wrists. he canโt help but feel like there's something different in her expression-- almost like there was finally something there. there is something that aches deep within him as he watches her once stoic facade break slowly like glass chipping underneath the pressure of crisp, harsh winter wind. โhave you ever heard of the story of the two birds on the wire?โย
his eyebrows furrow, lips twitching downward. โnaw,โ he tells her. โi ainโt never โeard of it.โ
โwell, there's two birds on a wire,โ she starts. he watches as her eyes finally look up, but not at him; part of him is disappointed that she didn't quite catch his eyes, but the other is sure he would have froze on the spot, like a gazelle in headlights; her gaze, much like others have described, is blinding, and he was sure he wasnโt too fond of anything remotely close to spotlight. she watches the fire in front of them crackling and in the embers glow he can see pain etched in the cracks chipped in her broken look. he didnโt think his chest could tighten any more than it already has. its become a common thing with her now. hes sure that, with her, hes never sure just about anything anymore. โone bird says cโmon and flies away, the other watches โem close and says i'm tired. tells โem that he wants to fly, too, but he's lying, because see, theyโre two birds of a feather, swore to each other that they are always gonna stay together, but ones never going to let go of that wire. so the one that does want to fly is left with an impossible choice.โ
see, he can remember quite clearly the day he finally felt understood-- heard, even if he didnโt speak a single word. he associates such a day with the smell of burning wood, maple tree sap, and the feeling of wet grass and moonshine on his skin. daryl dixon also remembers this as the day he fell hard, harder than that day at the quarry, and boy did he fall hard that day.
โdoes the bird stay with him on the wire, or fly away?โ
