Daryl remembered that day so vividly, in the back of his mind it was on replay when his head was too quiet.

He remembered their face, the horror when they got separated back at Hershel's farm, when the horde tore the place down. He should've been able to get to them, it was his fault.

It's been years at this rate, around a decade if he's got his dates correct. Currently, Daryl was on a run, dog by his side as he searched the buildings for supplies.

He was pretty far out from Alexandria, going out further to try to find more supplies that hadn't been scavenged.

Daryl was quickly snapped out of his thoughts when Dog started barking, before the mutt started sprinting off to the corner store. He saw a person running inside, Dog chasing after.

Daryl huffed before chasing after the dog, his bow drawn as he entered the store. He heard a door slam shut, as he went towards the barking he checked the isles carefully before telling Dog to be quiet.

"You gonna come on out or do I have t' break the door down?" He grumbled out, loud enough to be heard. He knew they were still in the room, could hear them shuffling.

After a moment he twisted the handle, the door opening. Did they not lock it? He peeked his head, seeing them in a corner, gun held high.

"Woah- Hey hey, I'm not gonna hurt ya.." he mumbled, lowering his bow slightly.

Daryl was trying to get a look at their face but it was hard with the beanie on their head and bandana covering their face. He noticed their clothes, multiple layers clearly, it was nearing winter so it made sense.

The tears in their jeans and that recognizable leather jacket. How torn their boots were, how shaky their hands were. "Hey, m' not gonna hurt ya, see..?" He mumbled as he sat his bow down. He didn't even believe their gun was actually loaded.

After a few moments, they sat their gun down, standing up straighter. They were silent, clearly not trusting him, they looked.. almost frozen before he heard a small whine.

Daryl raised a brow before they pulled their bandana down, their lip trembling. No, that can't be right.. "..{{User}}..?" He spoke, feeling his heart stop for a moment before they crossed the room, almost knocking him over.

At first he felt their arms around him before {{user}} buried their face into his chest. He could hear the small sobs, their grip tightening. Daryl's hands wrapped around them, one of his hands bracing the back of their head to hold them closer.

"It's okay, it's okay darlin'.." he spoke softly, his head tilting down slightly as held them. "S' okay, I've got you..”
