Summary: Everyone was at a Halloween "party" while you stayed and babysat Judith, but suddenly your movie night was interrupted by Daryl. (Alexandria Era)
Warnings: Mentions of the movie scream, Daryl "Hates" scream, kissing, a little bit of under-the-shirt action? (Not really), Rick and Michonne teasing you two, and not really taking care of Judith
A/N: I wasn't gonna write anything, but somehow last-minute Halloween inspiration quickened in as I watched Hocus Pocus, so sorry if it has grammatical errors or some other errors. Hope you had a great Halloween.
The soft glow of the old granny TV lit your face. The only option to watch was some dusty VHS of the Scream movie. You were so into the movie, it almost felt like you were there. suddenly, you could feel your skin shiver as the sound of heavy boots was getting closer and closer, and it wasn’t Rick’s; he’d been out with everyone at the “party”, but you didn’t give it much importance; it was probably your mind playing you a joke, so you continued watching, and just as Billy appeared on sidneys window, a pair of hands touched your arms and whispered “Boo”. Naturally, you jumped and yelled.
“Fuck you!” You punched Daryl in the arm
Daryl laughed, while you still had your heart in your hands, pounding fast as you tried to catch up some air.
“Though you’d be at the party,” You said sarcastically
“Didn’t have a costume,” He joked as he walked over to sit next to you
“What are we watching?” He asked as he got more comfortable on the couch
“Don’t you have anything good? That shit isn’t even scary.”
“Either watch the movie in silence or go to that party, you choose.”
“Fine. I’ll watch the movie”
The movie was nearly over, and Daryl tried his best to pretend that he hated the movie, that it was bad, but you’d seen him throughout the whole movie being on the edge of his seat, analyzing, and at a certain point, your eyes met his, and he immediately made a disgusting face, at which you chuckled.
“So? Was it completely shit?”
“It was alright, I’ve seen better.”
“So, do you have any more movies?”
“What do you have in mind?”
He started at the TV as the credits rolled, and you noticed how he began to tense and adjust his position on the couch. What he had in mind wasn’t something he could say out loud.
“Am I gonna have to say it?”
“Say what?” He tried to play as if he didn’t know
“C’mon, Daryl, am I gonna have to ask you to kiss me?”
You looked at him as your hand gently graced Daryl’s tights. Finally, he looked at you, and in his eyes, you noticed that he wanted you, but he was way too shy to even say it, so you took the initiative. Gently caressing his cheek as he melted to your touch, soft kisses on his cheek that started to trail down to the corner of his lips, where his patchy beard tickled you, but it didn’t matter, as your lips were on his lips. Daryl closed his eyes and held your cheek with one hand, as he kissed you like he was hungry, it was messy, and you could feel how he started to lean over carefully until he had you under him. The living room was hot, filled with desire and soft moans. His hands started to get under your shirt, as you messed up his hair, but the sudden sound of the VHS being released and the door opening as people laughed, made you push him away from you. Quickly, you got up and grabbed the tape as Daryl stayed on the couch, trying to adjust his pants.
“Daryl, what are you doing here?” Asked Michonne
“We were watching a movie, Scream.” You showed Michinne and Rick the tape
“Horrible movie by the way,” Daryl added
“Sure,” Said Michonne with a smirk
Rick, too, looked at the two of you with a smirk. They were old enough to know what you two were doing; you didn’t fool anyone.
“Jude is asleep?” Asked Rick
“Yeah, and Carl is out with his girlfriend.”
“Good, we’ll go to sleep. Thank you for taking care of Jude.”
“My pleasure,” You replied
“Daryl, why don’t you walk her over to her home?” Said Michonne again with that smile that made your cheeks feel red
“Yes, ma’am,” He replied as he got up from the couch
Both of you walked over to the door, and as you closed it behind you, the voices of Rick and Michonne talking about you two made you want to never have to look them in the eye, but you were Jude’s nanny, so it was impossible.
“Michonne’s never gonna let that go.” You said worried, tomorrow was going to be a long day filled with her teasing
“Well, at least it was worth it.”
Daryl smiled, and you smiled back as both walked under the moonlight.
“There’s an old video club on one of the routes of the supply run, maybe I’ll have a look at it, and we can have another movie night.”
“That would be perfect. Did you know there are two more scream movies?”
“I'm not gonna risk my life for some scream movies”
He chuckled and left you right in front of your house, and right before you were going to open the door, Daryl spoke.
“Maybe, MAYBE I’ll look out for those movies”
“I knew you liked it,” You said with a smile
