♟

♙:Sharing a bed

Daryl hadn’t been too keen when she’d spread her bedroll out to the full capacity. He knew what she’d been planning, and sure enough, she was giving him those eyes, the ones that reminded him of those summers long ago, and he was sliding down lower on the hardened dirt packed floor.He let out a soft hiss of breath. He was bone tired. “Abs?” When she turned her head to look at him, he gave her a half smile. “You sure this is alright? I don’t mind sleeping in the dirt.”It wouldn’t be the first time. Certainly wouldn’t be the last. 

Then she patted the blanket beside her, and he relented and laid back, head in his hands that he crossed behind his head. He felt her smaller form shift and press into him. He wasn’t used to the touch, but it felt nice to just have her there.

The familiarity was special to him in a way he’d never be able to express to her with words. “Night, Abs.”

♘ [bc BLANKET FORT]

♘:Cuddling in a blanket fort

Daryl chuckled softly as he crawled into the blanket fort that his wife and four year old son had made. "You and Carl musta been busy today, huh?" He flopped down onto his back on the couch cushions they'd shoved inside. "Feels good to have a whole day off to spend with that rugrat, don't it?" He wished he could have been there with the two of them.

He glanced over at her from where she lay and smirked. "What's a man gotta do 'round here to get a proper 'Hello, darling. How was work?' kiss?" He nudged her with his knee.

When she moved to kiss him, he pulled her down and turned her onto her back and half covered her body with is own. He kissed her deeply before letting out a contented sigh and shifting again so that he was on his back and she was pressed against his side. 

He stroked her hair and whispered, "This is nice. Shoulda done this years ago." He kissed the top of her head.

♗:Your muse falling asleep with their head in my muse's lap.

Daryl loved quiet nights like this. Carl had gone to bed without begging to stay just a little while longer, and he had her all to himself for the next two hours before they decided to go to bed. He even let her pick the program on tv that they were watching. His lips grazed her ear as she cuddled up next to him, but it wasn't long before she'd taken up residence in her normal position.

Her head was right in his lap as he stroked her hair and got lost in the primetime line up of comedies that aired on CBS. His hand moved down to her shoulder and gently massaged, and it wasn't long before he heard her soft snoring. It wasn't really a snore, more of a cute way of breathing that he'd come to adore.

He returned his attention to the tv and when the ten o'clock news came on, he switched off the television and gently eased himself out from under her head and stood. He stretched, popping his back and other extremities before he gently scooped her up and carried her up the stairs to bed.

He loved his life.

♡ this was already a given, though, wasn't it?

Totally BUT I love hearing about it anyway. It's about time I made a Daryl x Abby tag. *waggles eyebrows* These two are going to be a force to be reckoned with, aren't they?
