As requested by TwTvd222 I have rewritten this one-shot for a more mature audience. I was 16 when I originally posted this one-shot so hopefully my writing is a lot better now 😂

Hope this meets your expectations <3

——————————————————————-

Summary: Daryl Dixon has just left the group to go with his brother leaving behind Annie, his "close friend". Annie doesn't have anyone except Daryl after her father (Dale) died. Daryl was the only thing stopping her from making disastrous decisions. He keeps her going and gives her a reason to keep leaving. She loves the group and they have become her second family. The only other person she's close with is Glenn but he has his Maggie and his own family with the Greene's.

So when Annie discovers that Daryl has abandoned the group and most importantly her to be with his brother she feels betrayed and decides to leave. She comes across some troubles on her ventures to find her own place. When Daryl returns and discovers that Annie had left he immediately goes to find her, to bring her back and perhaps just tell her how he honestly feels. Whilst they haven't labelled their relationship, they both know that they love each other but just haven't said it yet.

Shots are fired as the prison group try to defend the prison, which has become their home, from the Governor. When the Woodbury group finally retreated after realising that they had underestimated the strength of the prison group everyone noticed that Daryl and his brother had joined them in the yard and helped defend the prison. Glenn glared at Daryl and Meryl as they walked closer to the prison entrance.

"What's up, man?" Daryl asked as he noticed Glenn blocking the entry. Glenn glared up at the Dixon brother who towered him.

"It's your fault she's gone!" He exclaimed angrily.

Taken aback and quickly filling with worry, Daryl questions "Who?" 

"Annie, who else you bastard!" 

Daryl glanced worriedly into the prison and saw that Annie was in fact not there.

"Where is she?" He ask desperately.

"I don't know." Glenn replied as he finally stopped glaring at Daryl, his shoulders sagging as if he had no more energy to keep being angry with Daryl as his concern for Annie is greater.

Without waiting for another word to be spoken, Daryl sprinted out of the the prison courtyard into the woods where he tried to find the familiar footprints of Annie. Guilt was consuming him. It was his fault that she left.  He knew it was a bad idea to leave. It was all his fault. He knew how fragile she was now especially after the death of her father, then T-Dog and Lori.

He raced through the woods before coming upon a rundown house where he noticed that Annie's footprints had disappeared. As he slowly approached the house, upon close inspection he noticed a mixture of blood and dirt, leading up to the house and slowly opened the door. Panic was starting to fill him as he searched for Annie fearing the worst has happened.

Suddenly, he heard sobbing coming from behind a door. Daryl slowly opened the door and the sight that greeted him both shocked and relieved him. Sat their in the middle of the room was a crying Annie who was covered in blood. Surrounded by four male bodies. "Annie," he delicately whispered as if not to scare her. 

Shocked at the sound of his voice Annie quickly glance up at him and began to weep even harder if that was even possible. She rushed up to Daryl hugging him. Her arms wrapped tightly around his waist, as if he was her life line and the only thing keeping her afloat. He hushed her as her sobs wracked her body. Quickly moving her from the room he took her to another room that looks to be the remnants of a guest bedroom.

"It's okay darling, I'm here now. It's okay. Shh no ones ever going to hurt you! Never again," he whispered trying to comfort her. After awhile her sobs calmed down to hiccups. He kissed the top of her head before lifting her chin, encouraging her to meet his eyes. 

"Do you...," he started, gulping, not sure if he wanted to know the truth.

"Do you think you can tell me what happened?"

Tears pooled in her eyes as she began to tell him her horrific story of how she had come across the house and was looking for resources and how they men had sneaked up and jumped her. Attacked her before trying to assault her. Holding her down and in order to defend her self she killed them.

By the end of her account of the story  Annie had returned to tears again.

"Oh Annie, you're okay now! Your so brave!" She heard after awhile. She looked back up to Daryl who smiled down at her. She loved it when he smiled as it was rare to see such an honest smile from him.

He pressed a kiss to her forehead, holding her close before his lips moved down to her left cheek, then moved across slowly kissing the top of her nose before gliding across her other cheek. His lips then came down kissing the the corner of her mouth before finally placing his chapped lips upon hers.  He could taste her salty tears. Annie closed her eyes lost in the feeling of love. The kiss was soft and tender and Annie was savouring every bit of it. He had never kissed her like this before. Pulling back slightly his lips hovering over hers,

"God woman," he groans with desperation, "You don't know what you do to me." With that he closes the distance and slams his lips back on hers. The tender kiss earlier replaced by passion and fire. Daryl slid his around her waist and next to hold her even closer to his body as her hands gripped the back of his head slightly tugging on his hair. The room seemed to fade, the earlier events of that day being slowly forgotten as they lost themselves to the list. His hands moved down her body and reached under her top his hands skimming her stomach to cup her breasts, slightly squeezing eliciting a moan to break from her lips. His lips moved down to her neck leaving a pretty pattern down her neck and across her collarbones. He began tugging her top over her head before throwing the unwanted garment away to somewhere in the room, Annie's legs threatened to give way only still standing from the support of Daryl. His moth was everywhere, kissing, touching, hungry to feed his desire. Annie's hands started tugging at Daryl's shirt to which he quickly removed before backing Annie up to the wall holding her against it as he returned his hungry mouth to her neck as he unhooked her bra and one long finger trailed the length of her spine as the bra fell away. His mouth caressed her skin, lowering until his tongue found her nipples and quickly sucked it into his mouth as one of his hands found her other. Annie's knees crumpled, and he caught her. As easily as if she weighed nothing, he lifted her and carried her to the bed before laying her down.

Her trousers and underwear was quickly removed and he shed the rest of his clothes. Any scrap of clothing was removed and discarded somewhere with in the room. Daryl slowly descended down her body kissing her as he went. Annie gasped as he kissed her lower, in her most intimate of places. She couldn't help the movement of her body as she writhed with desire. His hot pulsing tongue pushed inside her filling her with heat. Her moans escalated as she felt his fingers join his tongue.

"Daryl ... oh ... oh, God ... Daryl ..."

He held her firmly as he continued his ravishing. Pleasure escalating for Annie until her lower body started to contract as she reached her peak and her world seemed to shatter behind her eyes. She cried out, her voice hoarse, her arms wrapped around his head pulling him up into a kiss as he jerked his throbbing member.

"You make me crazy," he growled, staring down at her with lust-glazed eyes. "You know, woman, you always have."

"That ... that works both ways." She wanted him and she wanted him now, more than she's ever wanted a man. She trembled as his lips claimed hers again, strong arms held her hard and possessively.

His entire body tensed and he groaned savagely, thrusting deep, penetrating the deepest part of her. She gasped as he withdrew and the delved deep again. Their eyes met as he increased the tempo, and the veins on his neck bulged. Her legs came up to wrap around his waist as he hammered quicker and quicker into her. Both chasing their release. The room filled with their moans and screams as they both climaxed together.

Panting slowly coming down from the high, Daryl pushed up to hover over Annie smirking down at her, "You didn't think it was over did you?"

Gasping in shock Annie, tensed as she felt his member grow hard again inside her. Her body quickly filling with pleaser again from the stimulation as he began moving again.

•••••• A few hours later ••••••

They lay there together on the bed covered in sweat. They lay there still intertwined, intimately locked together as they shared a sweet kiss together. After awhile finally coming down from the high, Annie looked up at Daryl resting her chin on his chest as she traced the scars his father gave him.

"I know we've not been fooling around for long," she started catching his attention, "and I know you lack relationship experience and have your castle high walls but I just need you to know that I love you. I really do. You don't have to say it back but I thought you should know that."

Instead of replying Daryl pulled her head up into another kiss and upon pulling away he gazed down at her, a smile gracing his lips as he gently said four words he had never said before "I love you too".
