This is for the Anon I got on tumblr. You weren't specific really and I wasn't sure what you wanted beyond Rickyl really. Hopefully this is what you were looking for. If not just message me and I'll see what I can do. :D

Rick's eyes swept over the area and he rubbed his face. They should be back today if everything went good on the trip. He shot a look towards the gates again and gritted his teeth. He'd kept his mouth shut knowing that Daryl needed this. The man wasn't meant to be kept indoors and he was smothering being in Alexandria. Though he had a feeling as of late that Daryl wasn't as keen to leave as before. Aaron offered an out that would help though when Daryl was ready to just be done with the place, easy. Daryl being gone for a week or two at a time was rough. Since meeting Daryl at the beginning of everything they'd never spent time like that apart. They were always together. Daryl and Rick. One the others shadow and at the others back with more than just willpower.

"Pacing and muttering won't get you to him any quicker."

Rick looked over and bit back his retort and Carol smiled at him. Michonne cocked a brow and elbowed Carol. Both had a glint to their eyes that had him turning fully towards them. Michonne's smile widened and Carol tilted her head watching him.

"Honestly for as much as you've watched the gate I thought you would have known."

"What?" Rick grit out.

Two weeks was to long for Daryl to be gone.

"They got back just a minute ago." Michonne smiled, "You didn't hear them?"

Rick stilled and looked over at them. Daryl always came straight for him when he got back without question. If he was back why wasn't he here? Rick swallowed and felt his chest tighten.

Carol looked towards the front where they'd been taken when first taken in. "Deanna wanted to speak to Daryl and Aaron before speaking with who they brought in."

Rick nodded and Michonne's hand shot out as he started to pass them, "She wants you there."

Rick didn't respond as he made his way towards Deanna's house. Daryl was okay. If he wasn't there was no way Carol or Michonne would have teased him so easily. There was no fucking way they wouldn't have come and got him first thing. There was no way that Aaron wouldn't have freaked out and got him. Aaron was good at keeping his cool but since that first night here when he'd turned up on their porch he'd showed more concern towards both men. He never tried anything but Rick knew it was there. He cared and that was something he could usually let ease his chest while Daryl was out there without him.

"Rick." Deanna smiled from her porch.

He walked up the steps and she walked in leaving the door open for him. He stepped inside and his eyes shot to Daryl. He was at the window his back to the room. He was tense. Aaron shot Rick a small smile but it was tired and his eyes were shadowed.

"Okay Natasha we can start." Deanna spoke softly.

A young woman Rick didn't notice at first caught his attention and he eyed her. He walked around behind Deanna keeping Daryl in his line of sight but kept his focus on the woman before him. She looked small and assuming and he didn't believe it for a second.

"This place is untouched." Her voice was wistful.

Rick didn't say anything but Deanna flinched. "We've had our share of losses."

"But out there is different than living behind these walls." Natasha simpered. Her eyes went to everyone in the room and then focused on Daryl. Rick felt his ire rise but bit back the need to drag Daryl to him and mark him. "Out there is a nightmare."

Deanna smiled at her, "What did you do before all this?"

"I was a nurse."

Deanna looked towards Aaron and he shrugged before looking to Daryl. Daryl was still uninterested in her and Rick arched a brow. He was making a point to not look at the woman. Rick's eyes shot to Aaron and he flushed. He felt his own eyes darken in more than need or arousal but in threat. Aaron swallowed and shot a nervous look towards Daryl again.

Daryl turned then and met his eyes. They were pissed off and the set of his jaw had Rick ready to question him. He forced himself to look at the woman again and studied her. She was putting on a show much like Carol did when they first got here and he wanted to clap for her. He was sure Deanna was believing it but he didn't. He knew Daryl didn't. This was why Aaron wanted Daryl out there.

"Daryl." Deanna called. "Where did you say you found her?"

Rick stared at him till Daryl listened to the command in his eyes and walked over. He stood next to Rick and still ignored the woman. Her eyes were running over him hungrily. Rick watched Daryl tense again and smirked. She was making him uncomfortable. How many passes did she make at him already. It was no use Daryl was his, period.

Daryl finished talking to Deanna and she nodded standing. "Well I'll have Maggie find placement for you and see how this goes. We have rules Natasha."

She stood and simpered again batting her eyes. She seemed almost nervous and Rick would have felt bad for her if it wasn't for the way her eyes lingered on Daryl.

"Will I be alone?"

"No." Rick answered.

Natasha looked at him fully and Rick didn't flinch from her gaze. She licked her lips and crossed her arms, "I'll be with people I don't know." She shot a look towards Aaron then Daryl, "Can't I stay at one of their places until...until."

Daryl's nostrils flared and he interrupted her, "I'm heading home. I'm killed." His eyes were on Rick and then he nodded to Deanna as he stormed out.

Rick walked towards the house. He could hear Natasha talking to Maggie behind him and rubbed his face. Everyone in their group respected Daryl's space. They respected Rick because before it was even said aloud they just knew that the two were off limits. Getting here it felt no different. They'd adapted quickly with the group here. Rick, Daryl, Carl, Judith, Carol and Michonne were all in one house. At first he was sure that people thought it was Carol and Daryl together and him with Michonne but it was far from that. Carol was like a sister to him but a friend to Daryl. Michonne was the same. Both women were fiercely protective of both men and the kids. Maybe it was how close both women were together that really gave away just what him and Daryl were. Or maybe it was the need for everyone to fucking understand that Daryl was his. The marks left on him were questionable after all.

Daryl was smoking on the porch his eyes locked onto Rick. His cheeks hollowed and his eyes flared to life as the cherry of the cigarette lit his face up. Rick started up the steps taking in every inch of skin that was exposed. The mark on this throat was faded and gone. That wouldn't do. Something more than just simple lust was swirling in the pit of his stomach making his cock ache.

"How long are you two staying?"

Daryl blew out a cloud of smoke high his throat arched and exposed. "I'm not sure I want to go back out." His voice was low and guttural.

Rick stepped around in front of him as Daryl spun and took a seat on the bannister. "No more runs?" Daryl wasn't a man to waste words. If he said he wasn't sure he wanted to go back out there then he already knew his answer. Rick felt his chest lighten at the prospect. Daryl's knees pressed against the side of Rick's legs and he smiled.

Daryl inclined his head nodding, "Had a close call. Aaron got hurt or we'd been back sooner. That dumb bitch bout got us both killed with her damsel in distress routine."

Rick grit his teeth and stepped closer. "Does Aaron know?"

"Aaron's done."

Rick nodded and Daryl stood their chest bumping. Before he could say anything though the sound of boots had both pausing as a voice rang out.

"I wanted to thank you again Daryl for giving me a chance." Daryl stiffened his eyes locking with Rick's. Irritation was there. "If I can do anything at all to pay you my thanks let me know." Natasha purred half stepping up the steps towards them.

Rick's irritation exploded as Maggie cringed at the woman. Daryl turned looking over his shoulder but Rick halted him. His hand closed around shoulder, fingers digging deep into the muscle there. Natasha's eyes shot to Rick finally taking notice of him. She barely concealed her irritation at seeing him.

"No thanks." Daryl grit out.

Natasha smiled at him batting her eyelashes. "Think on it."

Rick snorted the condescension thick and electric. Daryl turned looking at him and grinned. Maggie called to the woman shooting them an apologetic look. She shot an amused look to Daryl.

Maggie took a step towards them ignoring the woman, "Get him cleaned up Rick. He looks like a walker."

Rick nodded and Maggie's eyes danced, "I'm right fuckin' here." Daryl snapped.

"Well you look like crap Daryl." Maggie laughed up to him, "Really you two should just call it a night. Deanna told me to tell you that Michonne was taking your hours tonight."

Rick caught his bicep and pulled him towards the house, "Go."

Daryl started to say something but Rick shot him a look that had him walking inside. He watched as Maggie trotted back down the steps and then locked eyes with Natasha. She was looking at him a question in her eyes and Rick smiled.

"OH! Rick Carl said he's staying at the house tonight since Daryl is back." Maggie called back to him, "Want me to get Judith from Carol later too?"

Rick nodded at her and she smiled at him before walking away. Natasha was still staring but Maggie said something that had her flushing and looking away. They walked into the house right across from his. He turned not giving the woman a second thought and searched for the man inside. He could hear the water running and smiled. Maggie was right Daryl was a mess.

Stepping into the bathroom he stripped down and was in the shower in minutes. Daryl was there hands on the wall head dipped low as water poured over his body. Rick's eyes ran over every inch of him inspecting for injuries like he always done when Daryl got back. When he was certain that there is nothing hidden he pulled Daryl around to face him.

"What's that out there?"

Daryl grimaced. "I'm pretty sure that bitch lied about her job." Rick waited for him to go on and Daryl shook his head. "If she had one calling in life it was laying on her back."

Rick barked out a laugh and Daryl stared at him hard. "It will never cease to amuse me how mad you get when women hit on you."

"Fuck you."

Rick moved fast and Daryl's back met cold tile. He hissed out a breath and Rick's mouth slammed into his in the same second. Bodies flush Rick groaned. He prided himself on his control but two weeks without Daryl was bull shit. Daryl didn't try to fight for control as the kiss deepened. Rick knew he was leaving marks alone from his hands and the grip he had on the man but the thought had his cock aching and leaking even more. The thought that anyone could see the marks he'd given Daryl always turned him on.

Lips sliding against rough stubble Rick's hand caught Daryl's wrist before he could get a grip on either of them. Hands pinned in place he growled against his throat. "Turn."

Daryl did so readily and Rick's mouth started on the other side of his throat biting into the muscle of his shoulder. Daryl groaned his hips bucking.

"Fuck Rick." His voice was hoarse.

Rick didn't waste any time as he started working Daryl open. Neither were in the mood to be teased. Chest heaving he watched the water pour over Daryl's back as he stretched him out. Ever second that heat wrapped around his fingers felt like torture.

"Rick." Daryl groaned pressing back into his touch.

Rick looked up watching the as Daryl pressed his face into his bicep. "Hands above your head." Rick ordered. "Don't you dare touch yourself. You're going to cum without so much as a touch to your cock."

Daryl groaned and nodded his hands above his head his back arched. Rick stepped back taking in the sight of the man before him and gripped his own cock as he kicked Daryl's legs wider apart. From broad shoulders and down to narrow hips he was the sin that Rick craved.

"Not gonna be easy." Rick warned stepping into him. Daryl nodded jerkily his body flushed already. Gripping himself he slid against his hole teasing him as much as himself. Daryl growled pressing back into him more. "Hold still."

Daryl stilled and Rick caught his hip as he slid past that tight ring of muscle. Daryl exhaled harshly and Rick pushed forward again. His head dipped to press against the back of Daryl's neck and the man panted. Rick rocked his hips for a second trying to give him a second before pressing into him more. Daryl looked over his shoulder locking eyes with Rick and then slammed back taking Rick completely.

What little control Rick thought he owned died and his hips snapped forward driving Daryl forward. Hips pistoning into Daryl he followed him forward his own hips driving the man into the wall. Daryl groaned as his cock got trapped between him and the wall.

"Mine." Rick snarled before his teeth sunk into the bite from earlier and then again onto his throat. "MINE."

Daryl groaned his name his body tensing up as he met Rick's thrust. Rick's hand slid around Daryl's chest and up to his throat. His grip tight as he felt heat pooling low in his groin and the way Daryl starting mutter under his breath.

"Rickrickrickrick." Daryl panted."Fuccck." His hands tensed against the tile and started to drop. Rick snarled at him and Daryl moved his hands back up. "Fuck you." Daryl groaned.

Rick slammed into him harder and Daryl let out a low guttural moan pulling from deep in chest and settling in Rick's cock. Both were close. Daryl done just what Rick said and kept his hands off his aching cock and Rick angled his hips driving into his prostate. The second he did Daryl's back arched painfully and he keened low in his throat. His body jerked forward hips bucking and Rick groaned as Daryl's body locked up against his own. He released Daryl's throat the second his orgasm hit and Daryl knees almost buckled his groans getting louder along with Rick's name falling from his mouth. Cock spilling against the tile and Rick followed after a few more thrust and grinding his hips into him. He leaned heavily against Daryl's back plastered to the man like he could attach Daryl to him.

"Don't think this is what Maggie meant." Daryl coughed.

Rick laughed and shifted his hips pulling away while keep Daryl steady. He was still panting and Rick's chest was heaving. "Think Maggie isn't a bit as innocent as she would like people to think."

Daryl turned and looked towards the soap that was waiting for him to use. He huffed a breath and let his eyes close. Rick grabbed it up and lathered his hands. For as much as Daryl let him take control he still had his boundaries. Rick took advantage and let his slick hands slid over the man before him. Daryl's eyes opened and Rick claimed his mouth roughly.

"If I knew seeing a woman flirt with me would have gotten you that worked up-" Daryl's words died as Rick's hand wrapped around his cock. He sucked in a breath. "Rick."

He nodded, "Let's finish in here and head to bed."

Daryl nodded listening to him. Rick watched as suds washed over his bruised throat, shoulders, and hips. His cock jerked and he smiled.

Rick leaned against the porch post watching Daryl on the steps. Carol was talking to him about everything he'd missed which wasn't much really. He figured when he walked away she was going to start trying to drag details out of Daryl. The man was like a steel trap though but Carol still kept it up. He figured by now it was more amusing to both of them. There was no doubt that they'd barely slept at all last night. They might be cleaned up not but both looked worn out and had dark circles under their eyes.

Maggie appeared Natasha with her and waved. Carol waved and then paused talking to Maggie. He didn't pay attention to her but instead watched as Natasha danced around trying to speak to Daryl. When he looked up from his head being tipped down Rick's cock jerked to attention at the dark bite mark marring his throat. Her eyes widened and Rick appeared behind Daryl. He didn't make a move down the steps but instead towered above the man. Her eyes shot between them and then she swallowed.

"Carl's bringing Judith over. He seen Daryl already out here and said he was coming home." Maggie smiled up waving at him and then to Daryl. "They missed you..." Her eyes shot to Rick then back to Daryl, "All of them. No one likes when you're gone so long."

Daryl dipped his head and Rick smiled at her. She left after that and Natasha did too her face red. Carol didn't stay much longer and Rick walked down the steps finally. He kicked out next to Daryl his elbows dropping back porch. Daryl yawned and stretched out next to him his back actually meeting the porch. He grunted when suddenly Judith was on his stomach but Daryl steadied her. That same feeling returned and he was reminded it was more than just a need with Daryl. Watching his kids with the man had it flaring to life though and he smiled again looking to the marks he could see. Mine was his only thought as Daryl snorted to something Carl was saying.
