I couldn't get that image of poor, lost Daryl sitting on the porch out of my head... I've always (since Daryl started playing a bigger role, maybe S2-ish, anyway) thought that Daryl would have some sort of anxiety issues, just judging by his actions when he's not comfortable... I thought I'd play with that a bit.
University is busy! So the next chapter should be up in about a week, I think.

Okay, so not as much nudity and such as I was going for here... There's actually not a heck of a lot, if I'm being honest! But it is finished and ready for posting so I figured I'd do it now rather than later.
Uni is kicking my butt! (In a good way). I have to average an A- or higher this semester to even be considered for selection into my vet degree and I had a massive chemistry test last night so this is my reward for myself... And you guys, for leaving such lovely reviews on the first chapter :)
