Morning after- Daryl’s version

First message-

Daryl left early yesterday morning. He left shortly after you had woken up.

You kept yourself busy while he was away as a way to distract yourself from worrying about him. You were already in bed by the time he finally arrived back in Alexandria. He was careful not to wake you up as he climbed into bed with you, but as if you could sense him your eyes shot open the moment he lifted the blanket.

Your mouth curved into a small smile when you looked at him. He tried to lull you back to sleep, but was unsuccessful. The soft kisses meant to calm the both of you only fueled the fire you two felt each time you were reunited.

You wake up the next morning wrapped in his arms. Your head rests on his bare chest and your leg is thrown over his hip.

It takes a few moments for you to process the feeling of him stroking your back with one hand while his other hand rests on your rear.

You tilt your head up to look at him.

“Mornin’.” He murmurs.
