But imagine Rick pulling Daryl aside after they were out and he asks him if he's okay after Terminus cause they were pushed around so roughly and he knows about his past and dsklafjadslk ;_; And Daryl shrugs it off but Rick knows that it hurts and this hurts this hurts a lot. ;________; So Rick looks him into the eyes looking a bit teared up and Daryl yells at Rick and runs before he can see him cry :__; Im a mess Jay.
daryl's still stuck in half a flashback he's so fucked up, when that asshole was holding a weapon behind him, all he could think was how his daddy used to beat him
and now the world smells like ash and smoke, they left terminus burning and his eyes are wide and distant and empty and rick leans in and tells him it's okay to come back, he's got him, it's gonna be okay, you can come back, daryl, i'm gonna keep you safe
