Description: Connie & Daryl didn't notice something that wasn't there before. But, their friends/family have noticed them & plan to make sure they end up together. But, perhaps they don't need to do much, sometimes they have to go on their course.

Something There~

——————————————————

Connie: There's something sweet & almost kind,
But he was mean & he was coarse & refined

     When Connie had first seen & was with Daryl, her honest opinion was that he might have been a crave-man. He was very stubborn, especially when it came to wanting to help & having a plan of one's own.
     Though she would be lying, if she didn't say she was also intrigued & impressed by his courage, & willing to help people.

And now he's dear, & so unsure
I wonder why, I didn't see it there before

     Now, every since after the Whispers claim their territory, they have been really close. Especially since, Daryl learned sign language to understand Connie better. She'd be lying if she didn't say that, it didn't make her heart flutter that he'd do that for her. And Daryl wouldn't admit that it didn't make his heart skip a beat, when she'd smile on how he was getting better at his sign language.
     Connie was playing with the kids around a bonfire in Alexandria, that was going to be set later tonight for a little down time after everything that happened. King thought that it might relieve some tension after the tragic death of his son & fellow comrades. The snow had lightened a bit, though there was still some half-amount of snow. While Connie was busy with the kids, the men were carrying & getting wood for the fire.
     Daryl, Aaron, King, & Siddiq were coming back through the gate, carrying more wood for the bonfire. While walking & dropping the wood off, Daryl looked up to see Connie & she glanced at him with a soft look in her eyes.

Daryl: She glanced this way, I thought I saw...
And whenever we touch, she doesn't shudder at my hands...

     Daryl light blushed at her glance & quickly looked away. He always felt warmth whenever she let him light touch, like her shoulders or head. She made him feel happy. Maybe she...

No it can't be, I'll just ignore,

     Daryl quickly shook his head at the thought that, someone as amazing as her would even consider him, especially as a lover. He can't possibly think he ever has a chance to be with her or make her happy.

But then she's never looked
at me that way before

     But he couldn't help, but look back at Connie, who was still looking at him, & do a little wave at her with a gentle smile.
     "Daryl! Stop making loving eyes at Connie already & help us carry the wood, or do you need a moment with your precious Connie~" Aaron said, with a teasing voice.
     Daryl blushed more & whipped his head to glare at Aaron, who still had that teasing smile of his. Aaron had suspected that Daryl felt something towards Connie & would often tease him for it & he knew that it got under Daryl's skin more than anything. Not only that, but to see the all mighty, lone-wolf, & silent Daryl actually blushing & crushing on a girl was way too funny to pass up.
     So let's just say he loved to tease Daryl about his feelings towards Connie.
     "Shut up..." Daryl mumbled, slightly irritated. He was somewhat glad that Connie was deaf & slightly far away to hear or read Aaron's lips, because he didn't want her hearing what Aaron said.

Connie: New & a bit alarming,
Who'd have ever thought that this could be?

     Connie couldn't exactly get all at what Aaron said, but she did get a part of what Aaron said to Daryl, that made her blush a light shade of pink.
     "Your precious Connie...", just being able to read Aaron lips when he said that made her heart speed up more. She figured Daryl might've thought she wasn't able to read Aaron's lips from afar.
     Deciding to tease Daryl a bit, he should have grabbed a handful of snow & curved it into a snowball & looked in Daryl's direction.

True, that he is no Prince Charming.
But, there something in him, that I simply didn't see.

     Daryl felt something hit the back of his head & felt it, to only see snow in his hand. He looked back to see Connie's mouth covered by her hands, to keep herself from laughing. He smiled a bit at that & smirk when he got himself a snowball. He abandoned the wood & threw the snowball at Connie. She easily dodged it & ran off, with Daryl hot on her trails.
     While those two were playing together, they didn't notice everyone around them, they were in their own world. Although, their friends notice them & smiled on how they are playfully having a snowball fight, with only each other.

Jerry: Well who'd have thought?
Yumiko: Well bless my soul!

     Aaron saw this & thought it was cute. He was being honest when he thought that Connie really made Daryl happy.
     Michonne walked down her porch & saw Daryl playing a snowball fight with Connie. She couldn't help, but smile at this. She thought that Daryl deserved some happiness, especially from someone special.

Michonne: Well, who'd have known?
Aaron: Well who indeed? And who'd have guessed they'd come together on their own?

Yumiko: It's so peculiar! Wait & see!

All: We'll wait & see, a few days more.
There may be something there that wasn't there before.

     While running from Daryl, Connie unexpectedly tripped & fell, Daryl had followed suit by also tripping unexpectedly. Daryl had landed on top of Connie, & was slightly embarrassed by the position they were in. Connie looks up at Daryl & smiles gently at him, & Daryl does the same. They stared at each other for awhile, before Daryl got up & sat on the ground before asking Connie something.
     "Hey, do you want to maybe...go for a walk around Alexandria before we light the bonfire..?" Daryl asked, a bit shyly.
     Connie, being able to read his lips, got her notebook & quickly wrote something. She then passed it to Daryl & he saw it read; 'Yes'.
     Daryl smiled at this & got up, holding his hand to Connie that she gladly grabbed & held tight. Daryl lifted her up & both of them started walking together, not noticing that they're hands were still holding on tightly to each other, nor did either of them making an effort to move their hands.

     Judith looked in their direction & had a questionable look on her face. She wondered why, both Connie & Uncle Daryl tripped unexpectedly. She didn't think much of when Connie tripped, but when Uncle Daryl tripped, that was the weird part, he wasn't known for being clumsy at all.
'So how did-' Judith thought, before getting cut off by a familiar whistling.
     She turned to see Negan, who was able to get out of the clinic to help with the wood, with a bit larger snowball in his hands that he was throwing in the air.
    He saw that Judith looked at him & he put a finger to his lips, while winking at Judith. He then said something to Judith that made her somewhat understand why he did that.
    "There was something there that wasn't there before, darling.", Negan said with another wink & walked away.

     After he left, Judith smiled at him walking away. She guessed that even someone like Negan can be nice & help set a stage for romance between Uncle Daryl & Connie.
