Blanket Burrito!Rick
oh god, he’s starting to know that look from the wanderer far too well with every passing landmark for the hundredth time. ❝ don’t give me that look, i was followin’ you. ❞ or was paul following him? at some point, he recalls the wanderer in front of him and then behind him...matching strides. when did they get off the road that led to the school and ended up passing the same hair salon a thousand times? he doesn’t want to sound like an old man complaining about stiff joints, but everything is aching at this point. ❝ maybe we should just take a break and retrace our steps mentally instead of physically. ❞

his silence can mean so many unknown things, most often not questioned and waited out. he’ll always have those moods where the heaviness of it all weighs down on him more noticeable than on his better days, especially when there’s tensions between the communities and what’s left of the sanctuary people. tonight is one of those nights it comes out more like a whisper than his usual gruff drawl. ❝ i can’t tell if i’m doin’ the right thing anymore. it’s all startin’ to feel like i’m doin’ all the hopin’ and havin’ all the faith that this will work. ❞

dawn strikes through the cracks of curtains, sounds of shuffling from the sheets being hastily thrown back and clothes snatched from hangers mark the third day that rick has had to wake carl up from his sleep. every night before, he’s been eager to accompany rick on his early morning patrols until morning sneaked up on him and right in his doorway stood one not surprised sheriff but not the sheriff. ❝ you’re fifteen minutes later this mornin’ than yesterday, so at least you’re settin’ a record with it. ❞ his sarcasm doesn’t go unnoticed and neither does his hand fanning carl towards the bathroom. ❝ and brush your teeth this time or i’m arrestin’ you for foul play. ❞

why is he on edge? when did going to hilltop for visits or trades feel like he was doing something wrong? surely the ride there wasn’t as tense as when maggie greets him at the gates and they retreat within the home to finally speak about what alexandria needs, along with sanctuary and kingdom. it was all about repairs, trying to move pass what had happened with negan and rick can’t dare to say he doesn’t feel her gaze burning the side of his face the second they grow silent. ❝ you can say what you’re thinkin’ or feelin’, maggie. ❞
starter | @saviourisms
❝ you don’t have to make the runs alone if you’d rather have the company. ❞ maybe this is an excuse for rick to get out from behind the alexandria walls and do something that doesn’t involve routine. not saying he doesn’t enjoy the peace that’s been lurking for weeks on end, but he hates feeling like he isn’t doing nothing to contribute. and that alone is why he’s trying so hard to persuade the woman into letting him come with her. ❝ extra pair of hands ain’t never hurt out there either. ❞

VERY NOBLE OF HIM. Paul knows exactly what it takes to survive since he’s been on his own for so long. He’s not sweating a few butterfly bandages and a smidgen of alcohol. The wanderer does not mind helping knowing that if he’s ever that far up the creek that someone might just lift a hand to help him. It’s fairly delusional considering the time they live in but cynicism has never looked good on him. He’d much rather believe there is a sliver of good in everyone.
“In my eyes, you do need it.” Small talk has never been Paul’s strong suit so the quiet is welcomed for him. Lets him work in peace without trying to stumble over words or questions that someone might have that he doesn’t know the answer to. Most ask him why he lives alone. HOW he lives alone.
“Sometimes its all I do. It’s a fatal flaw that will no doubt get me killed one day, and i accept that.” It’s obvious that Rick is needing some distraction from whatever thoughts are swirling in his mind. “Don’t sweat it though. Just don’t look me over if I ever need your help one day.” Truth is he would never expect anyone to put themselves in danger just for him but a safety net doesn’t hurt either. “My people. You’re looking at all there is. Never was good around a lot of people i’m afraid. Rather would just be alone most of the time.”
he likes to think that the world isn’t without good men and that paul surely isn’t the last of them. it’s scary though, because all the good that comes around rick is torn away from him so viciously and without warning. he doesn’t get to keep moral compasses and guides, those to help him see the good in places and people where he probably wouldn’t see them. so he accidentally bites his tongue, swallows down the warm feeling paul makes him feel with how calm and mellow he speaks-- even the touches to his wounds are like butterfly kisses and it’s a tenderness he’s damn sure scared of. ❝ i would ask you to come back with me to alexandria, but i know you ain’t gonna stay. not long, anyway. ❞ who can blame him for being a wanderer? drifting among the communities without being bound to one. and with everyone so divided, it’s best not to be caught in the middle.
❝ when all this first started, i was told that i couldn’t be the good guy anymore; that i had to adapt and change with it because i couldn’t be who i once was. and for a long time, i believed it. i changed and kept changin’ while everyone who stayed true and good died. but if it weren’t for them, i wouldn’t be here right now. ❞ he winces mildly at another dab and gently pulls back from paul’s touch. ❝ you’re a good guy, someone honest and fair-- people that die because they ain’t change like everyone else. and yet? even after all that, you get to die as yourself. someone worth rememberin’ and cared for. that’s the future i’m fightin’ for and whether or not you’re with us at alexandria or somewhere else, it can be your future too. ❞

at first he thinks he’s DREAMING when he hears a familiar voice, accompanied by his dog’s growls only shortly afterwards. it wouldn’t be the first time he hears his old friend in his head, there was a time when Daryl thought the voice was real — but Dog seems to hear it, too, so that’s what makes him turn around. for some reason he didn’t hear any footsteps, though he usually hears EVERYTHING ; the previous thoughts are forgotten when he suddenly looks straight into those familiar eyes, eyes he thought he was never going to see again. ❝ Rick? ❞, he asks, voice trembling. maybe he is dreaming after all. his expression must have softened though as Dog begins to relax, very well able to read the signs and the look on Daryl’s face — it isn’t hard to tell that he isn’t facing an enemy but a FRIEND. ❝ ‘s it you? for real? ❞ just then he notices he’s aiming at Rick, his crossbow right there and ready in front of his chest. with shaking fingers Daryl finally lowers his weapon and prays to god that this is NOT some kind of a fucked up nightmare.
his weapon lowers but his eyes doesn’t as he continues to stare at daryl in disbelief. he wasn’t a walker thank god, but he could also be a figment of his imagination since he’s been searching for so long and finding jack shit until now. it wouldn’t explain the damn dog though and that alone has rick sucking in a deep breath, fingers curling tight around the hilt of his pistol just in case this is all a crude joke. ❝ i could ask you the same thing, seein’ as i have history of seein’ shit that ain’t real. ❞ it takes everything for rick not to run forward and embrace the man, but he doesn’t want to startle daryl and end up with a bolt to the head or dog teeth in his ass. instead, he’s taking baby steps with a hand outstretched and praying that once he makes contact, it’ll be solid and real. nothing prepares him for it when he does feel daryl’s shoulder as he squeezes and emotions rush over him like a waterfall. ❝ you’re here.. ❞ he breathes out, sounding anxious and winded all at once. how on earth did he manage to find him again?
“ I never meant to hurt you. ”

he hates the way his body feels when she brings it up. the guilt and sincere apology, he has been through it so many times when it came to love and loss that it seems like the usual treatment. be it death or betrayal, he knows what it’s like. there’s no blood, no body and he can’t ever bury it. however, love can die and there’s no return from the death-- it doesn’t come back like people. ❝but you did it anyway, knowin’ the second you walked out my life and abandoned me, it would hurt.❞ his tone is barely above a whisper as he pulls his knife from the walker’s skull, wiping blood on the corpse’s clothes before he stands and faces her. ❝you don’t get to say those words to me, not ever. you don’t get to come back and try to make things right because you wanna know somethin’ i learned in this world? when shit happens, we either let it change us or we learn to live with it. so that’s what you’re gonna do, ada. live with it.❞
it sounds cruel to anyone who doesn’t know rick grimes and how his words are always meant to help, not tear down someone who is already vulnerable. she can say sorry a thousand times and it wouldn’t change the fact rick still cares about her safety, wouldn’t kick her out of his community because of something that happened years ago. she needs to know that by living with it, he can forgive her. not because he wants to so she can stop feeling so damn guilty around him, but so they can both move on and live with it. ❝it’ll be hard and that’s...better than lettin’ it define who you are. i can either let it make me resent you or i can forgive you and we start fresh. i think you know what i’m choosin’.❞

the second he sees her notice that he’s not napping as he promised, rick instantly drops his head. she’s coming, that much he can tell by the growing shadow stretching across the hot pavement. he had some fabulous lie all cooked up and ready to be spat out so he can kindly slip away without further discussion, but the second she’s near, rick fails entirely and nods his head. ❝ yeah, i know, i know. suppose to be sleepin’ like i said. ❞

she told him to not go back and leave it be. that six years thought dead was how things should remain because they may not be there. it’s better this way, she said. and while rick knew some truth had been in her words, he couldn’t abandon his home, his family. days turned into weeks, months before he found a part of himself in a rundown store. their back to him bared the angel missing his wing and something tightens around his throat, gun aimed now trembling with uncertainty. why wasn’t he moving? was rick that damn quiet? or was he a walker? ❝ dar- ❞ his voice cracks and he can’t steady his rapid breaths, the way his heart pounds with fear now. and that’s when the snarling of a dog sounds from behind him. oh.

It wasn’t a secret that she preferred being out with Daryl than in the town. The walls were a source of anxiety if only for the fact that being inside them if they came down would be more dangerous than being outside of them, where she could blend into the herd. “Yeah. I found a book, thought Judith might want it…” Not that she could read much more than the words ’Alice In–’ on the cover.
