Wings| Daryl Dixon x Reader
Summary: Reader wears Daryl’s vest through Alexandria
I walked out of my bedroom, looking for my boyfriend who had left me so early in the morning.
I was aware of how Daryl wasn’t fully adapted to Alexandria yet but I wished he would stay with me a little longer. I mean we finally have a place to settle down, where me and him can actually live in a house together without someone walking in on us.
Seeing as Aaron gave Daryl some parts and the bones of a motorcycle to build, I assumed he would be working on it in the garage.
Walking down the steps into the kitchen I saw a dead rabbit sitting on the counter. Grimacing I ignored it and continued to walk past it, knowing Daryl was the culprit.
I opened the door to the garage seeing the dark haired hunter sitting down on the floor.
“So, are you gonna just leave that rabbit on the counter or are you showing me a new center piece?” I asked.
Daryl jumped turning around seeing me leaning against the wall. He shook his head at me before looking back at the bike.
“Very funny, that’s our dinner.” He spoke still not looking at me.
I walked over to him and sat down, now staring at him. Seeing him all muddy and gross, I had an idea.
I grabbed the tool from his hand which caused him to look me in the eyes. I place the tool on the ground and looked at him before saying,” Why don’t I wash your clothes, Deana gave me some extra stuff for you and I. You might as well shower now because at this pace your not sleeping in bed with me tonight.”
He rolled his eyes at me before nodding. Standing up he took my hand leading me back into the house, up the stairs. He walked into the bathroom stripping out of his clothes then giving them to me.
“I’ll leave some clothes on the bed for you,” I said before walking away, going to go clean the dirty clothes.
I didn’t realize how much Daryl’s clothes needed washed. We had been out on the road so long that I got used to seeing him like that.
I had washed most of his clothes before getting to his leather vest, his most warn article. I had always admired it, seeing Daryl in it reminded me of a guardian angel. It made sense to me because that is how I always saw him and one of the things I love about him.
Looking down at the patched on wings I thought to gently clean it, knowing how special it was. I grabbed a wet rag and dabbed the vest in the dirty spots and also wiped down the leather. Seeing it finally clean again I hung it up to dry, knowing I would come back to it soon.
I finished the rest of his clothes, working especially hard on the stain in his pants. I was so relived when I found out Alexandria had running water and electricity otherwise I would be here for hours.
Looking over at the black vest hung up I felt it making sure it wasn’t still wet. I knew Daryl would want it back soon, so I hurried and turned on the community dryer before grabbing the vest. Looking down at my outfit seeing the white shirt and black jeans, I shrugged before putting on my boyfriends vest.
I left the small room before leaving the main house too. I walked down the street before running into Carol.
“How are you and Daryl doing?” she asked looking me up and down.
I nodded at her,” Just fine. Finally got him to shower and out his clothes, saw the opportunity to wash the smelly things.”
She laughed, knowing how Daryl refused to shower for the longest time when we first got here. She looked at the vest wrapped around me, she glanced into my eyes in shock.
I stared at her blankly before questioning,”What?”
“Nothing. I mean, Daryl must really love you if your wear his wings like that.” She said matter of factly.
I looked down at the ground, “It was just in the laundry, I knew he would want it back soon so I hand washed it. I mean we only started dating 8 months ago, and you know how he is with the L word.”
Carol looked at me as if I was missing something, she spoke up,” Hunny, I am pretty sure that man has loved you from even before you started dating. Not to mention you live together now.” I blushed at her words, thinking it over.
“Just think about it, I don’t wanna be the one who outs him,” Carol continued before winking at me and walking away.
My eyebrows furrowed, I knew I loved Daryl and after this conversation it made me realize how much I truly did.
Walking up the steps to the house I took an intake of breath, I wanted to tell him. I wanted our relationship to have honesty and also didn’t want anything happening to him without him knowing how I truly felt.
I opened up the front door before yelling, “Daryl, I’m home!”
He come down the stairs fast in a black button up with a matching black pain of jeans. Daryl slowed seeing me standing there in his vest.
“Woah,” he whispered eyeing the vest.
I shook my head about to take it off thinking he was upset. But I stopped myself hearing him speak again.
“You look amazin’,” He spoke.
I looking up at him blushing,” I thought you would want me to take it off.”
He shook his head quickly before saying,” Girl, you are the only thing I would let near that thing. Don’t take it off.”
I looked down before speaking lowly,” Was not expecting that.”
He wrapped his strong arms around me, using his fore-finger and thumb to lift my chin. He bent his head down to my ear and spoke,” You look so bad ass in that jacket. Really makin’ you mine.”
Looking at him, I thought now would be a better time than none to tell him. I leaned forward and pecked him on the lips, pulling away from him as he tried to deepen it. He looked at me in confusion, frowning, but I gave him a reassuring look before finding my words.
“I’m always yours.” I took a quick breath before continuing,” because I love you Daryl.”
He looked at me a moment but then his frown from before turned into a smile. Daryl leaned down and pulled me into a deep, passionate, heavy kiss.
Pulling away for air, be breathed heavily together him being the first to speak up,” I love you too.”
We smiled at each other but then I got distracted by something in the background.
My eyes widened pulling away from the man in front of me, looking between the kitchen and him. I walked slowly into the kitchen seeing the gigantic blood mess on the counter.
I turned around quickly before speaking,” It was bad enough the rabbit was on the counter but did you really have to gut it there too.”
Daryl smiled at me,” Don’ worry about that. Focus on us.”
I stared at him in astonishment, “ I love you, I really do. But this is gonna bug the crap out of me.”
