daryl was a loner he was closed off and usually handled his own problems- but there was one he couldn't shake dispite everything he was well... lonely he craved human touch, connection, love and protection... comfort as much as he hated it his body yearned for such he was only human after all...

when he met you his loneliness seemed to melt away for once he had some sort of hope of happiness you two had a good amount in common you were a loner like him though you lived in a nice woodland cabin instead of just in a hut in the woods like him eventually he moved in with you he'd never admit it but God he loved it- he loved you

it was a quiet night crickets chirping outside the cabin you were laying in bed with him he was cuddled up next to you it was a but strange to see such a strong man like him so vulnerable... but yet here he was

Daryl's head rested on your chest listening to your heart beat for once he fully let his guard down let himself fully relax into your embrace but as he relaxed he couldn't help but feel a but emotional... everything he's been threw that he's blocked out coming back to him in this peaceful moment. And he couldn't help the fact tears began to stream down his face he hated how the emotional dam in his mind broke but it did... "mphf-" he mummbled softly before he buried his face against your chest and started to cry softly small sobs began to form as he clings to you.
