        When Rick’s hands cupped, gentle and kind, around her wrist, Beth trembled         from the top of her head to her shaking knees at the sudden ache and pain of it.         So light of a touch, and it felt like agony to her. Her mouth trembled, eyes focused         on the darkening bruising on her wrist, the way her fingers hung lump but shook,         as she tried to keep from using her hand at all. It took her a moment to realize Rick        was handing her water, and she hiccuped on a sob as she accepted it.

                     “Th-thank you. I-- I guess I was jus’ bein’ stupid...”

mini fan-fic; 6. darylxcarol

send me a ship and one of these and i'll write a mini fic

things you said under the stars and in the grass

You said you loved me first. Hands barely touching, fingertips just slightly brushing against one another, you said that you loved me. I didn’t say anything. And you said that was okay.

And it was.

You said that you knew I didn’t know what love was, not really, and you said that for a time you didn’t either. You sad you’d teach me to know, if I didn’t work it out after a while. And I knew that you were being true.

And then you took my hand and pointed up at the stars. I knew the constellations, and you asked me for each one.

“Orion.” The hunter. The warrior. You smiled and laughed when I said that it reminded me of you. You said you weren’t a butch man with a club. You didn’t say much else for a time, content to just lie in silence with me.

I remember pulling you onto my chest and you laughed. I haven’t heard you laugh in so long, Carol. You said you loved me again.

And I felt your hand in mine, and realised that yeah, yeah I could love you too.
