Daryl x Fem reader

Warning: Angst, cursing, fluff

Description: You and Daryl don't exactly get along, usually just having petty fights here and there. One day he takes it too far. Not being one to admit he was wrong, Carol forces him to apologize. He gives you a halfhearted apology and that pisses you off even more. Eventually, he realizes the impact his words had on you and feels guilty.

"What the fuck is wrong with you Dixon!? Criticizing everything I do isn't exactly attractive!" you yell angrily. You slam your fists against his chest causing him to stumble backwards a little bit, "Maybe if you could do one fucking thing right I wouldn't have to criticize everything you do! You're fucking worthless!" He screams, stepping towards you. He's an awful lot bigger than you so despite your best attempts at pretending not to be intimidated you step back, and trip over God knows what. You were clumsy like that, tripping on basically nothing most of the time. "I-I do a hell of a lot more than you!" You yell, hoping he didn't notice you stutter. He laughs mockingly and crouches down next to you, "Obviously not, cause you couldn't manage to save your bitch of a mother from a couple walkers." He grumbles, face inches from yours, you stare at him in shock, your mouth dangling open. You scoff and push him on his ass. He groans at the impact and you stand up, finally feeling bigger than him, "You fucking scumbag." You say through clenched teeth. You storm off towards your tent leaving him on the ground, shocked.

I stare at her as she stomps away angrily. I was shocked at her retaliation, usually she just scoffs and goes back to her chores, ignoring me for the rest of the day. The rest of the group stood there staring at me, equally as shocked as I was. Carol jogs over and helps me off the ground, "Daryl that was incredibly rude of you." She mutters, glaring at me, "Maybe if the bitch could shut her mouth for five minutes I wouldn't have said that." I mumble, glaring at the ground. I walk away and go back to my chore, skinning the food. Deer is all we've been eating but it's better than nothing I guess. Carol interrupts my thoughts, clearing her throat behind me. I turn to face her and see her standing there glaring at me with her arms crossed over her chest. "Daryl I thought by now you'd realize you owe her an apology. You're an adult so you need to defuse the situation otherwise you're just gonna stress out the group with even more bickering." She says harshly, I scoff and return to my chore, "Daryl. Go apologize. Now." She growls through gritted teeth. I groan in annoyance and toss my knife aside. Without saying a word back to her I walk towards Y/N's tent, she's sitting in front of it carving into a piece of wood, she notices me walking towards her and scoffs in disgust, "What the hell do you want Dixon?" She asks harshly, I glare at her, but stop when I notice she's been crying. "sorry." I mutter, "As if I'm supposed to believe that? You sound like a child who's been pouting cause they got in trouble for being a dip shit." she replies sarcastically. I groan and return to glaring at her, "Fine then can't accept the apology? Then fucking sit around and cry some more." I growl, and quickly make my way back to the group, "Did you apologize?" Carol asks angrily, I shrug and go back to my work. I hear Carol scoff before walking over to Y/N's tent. Great now she's gonna throw a pity party.

You couldn't help but start crying again. Despite wanting to remain strong, as to not give Daryl what he wants, but you couldn't help it. Carol walks over soon after Daryl left and sits down next to you, she wraps you in a hug and gently strokes your hair, "Sweetie it's alright. It wasn't your fault you know that. Daryl knows that too he's just an ass sometimes." She whispers comfortingly, You sigh and look her in the eyes, "I thought things were getting better between us Carol. I don't even know what I did to piss him off so much. I'm trying to get along with him I really am. I know how much our fighting stresses you guys out." You mutter, wiping tears off your face. She nods and shushes you sweetly, "I know honey, I know." She whispers gently. She stays with you for the rest of the night and talks with you to take your mind off of things.

Dammit. How could I say those things about her? Any of what I say about her really? Whether it was in the past or not I don't really believe those things I said. She's just so perfect. It makes me angry that I know she'll never give me a chance. I've thought about it so much and it pisses me off. I tap my foot nervously and sigh, "What's up Daryl?" Rick asks, I shrug dismissively and sigh again. She's beautiful, and she's kind. She gives me butterflies and I hate it. After another hour or so, everyone has gone to bed and I'm still up, tapping my foot and sighing every so often. I finally decide I can't take it anymore. I stand up quickly and run over to her tent. When I make it to the entrance I can hear quiet sniffles from inside, "Y/N?" I call out, She groans and stumbled out of the tent, "Oh this better be good Daryl." She says angrily, folding her arms over her chest, "Listen I really am sorry. All the things I said, all the things I've ever said, I didn't mean them. I was just angry." I say sincerely, she can tell by the tone of my voice that I'm serious, her expression softens a bit, "You mean it? Why go through all that trouble and say all those things just to apologize and say you didn't mean any of it?" She asks chuckling, she sounded more annoyed than amused if I'm being honest. I pause for a minute and sigh, "Because... Well because I like you. I know those are the last words you wanna hear from my mouth but it's the truth. I wanted to get over you cause I knew you'd never like me like that. Or like me at all at the rate I've been going." I say staring at the floor, laughing awkwardly. She giggles and steps towards me, "You know you may be an asshole but you sure are cute." She whispers sweetly, I stare at her a little shocked, but giddy with excitement. She stands on her tip toes and plants a soft kiss on my cheek, "Well then, all is forgiven Dixon." She says, giggling a little. She steps back into her tent and I stand there for a moment, my face heating up. Even as I lay down and get ready to sleep I can still feel my face burning.

The next morning I wake up a little later than usual and when I step outside the first thing I notice is Y/N folding laundry and giggling at something Carol said to her. God she's so beautiful. Her laugh has to be the sweetest thing I've ever heard. Her long black hair rested just below her hips, covering most of her figure from behind, but when you saw her from the front, You could analyze every single curve, and freckle on her body. Her icy blue eyes met mine and she smiled brightly at me, Carol glances over at me and smirks, raising an eyebrow. She nudges Y/N with her elbow and her face goes bright red, as she laughs awkwardly at something Carol said. I make my way over to her and brush my hand along the small of her back, "Morning beautiful." I say in a sweet tone. She blushes even more and I chuckle lightly as I listen to Carol tease her.

Okay maybe this was super bad but I kinda liked it😭
