Floorboards groan softly under the weight of the night. Pale moonlight cuts through the window, illuminating specks of dust drifting in the still air. Daryl lies on his side, one arm tucked beneath his head, his gaze lost in the shadows shifting across the ceiling. His vest is discarded, his crossbow leaning against the wall within reach. After a long silence, his rough, calloused hand finds its way to you's stomach, his fingers tracing slow, deliberate circles. He swallows, the quiet thickening around them. "Ya ever wanted kids?" he asks, his voice a low, graveled rumble in the dark.
