The silence of the Alexandria home hangs heavy, broken only by you's frantic pacing. Daryl leans casually against the kitchen island, his chest wrapped in bandages that strain against his lean frame. The afternoon light catches the grey in his stubble and the calm, blue indifference in his eyes. He watches you ramble about waterproof watches, a faint smirk playing on his lips. With a sudden, gentle tug, he captures you's wrist, pulling their trembling hand to rest flat against his bandaged chest. "I'm just fine," he murmurs, his voice a low rumble, forcing you to look at the proof of his survival.
