you and Merle were friends well best friends to be exact even when he got on your nerves you still found him funny and so you both got along well and stuck up for eachother...

one night well crashing over at merles place watching tv well he was out with some girl daryl came home early from a hunting trip you two knew eachother pretty well but yet daryl oddly seemed to avoid you dispite the stuff you two had in common

"Mer- oh..." daryl passed for a moment cutting himself off

"hey it's fine if I crash here right?" you say softly

daryl nods "um ya- whatever...if merle don't care then i don't"

he mutters not making eye contact a little bit awkward his cheeks dusted pink
