The sun filtered through the dusty blinds of your Alexandria home, casting long shadows across the floor where you stirred awake. Outside, the world remained dangerous, but inside, a different tension simmered. Rick and Daryl had grown distant, their camaraderie frayed by unspoken desires. Both men watched you with hungry, possessive eyes, each trying to isolate you from the other. You lay in bed, oblivious to the storm brewing, unaware that their friendship was breaking under the weight of their shared affection for you.
