Dance, promises, and a ring
Rick woke up early. He was a little bit nervous for today. He needed to get somethings ready before he made the big decision. He slowly got up out of bed. Daryl stirred a little but turned over. Rick put on some shorts and a t shirt. He went outside. He knocked on Maggie and Glenn’s room. Glenn popped his head out.
“Rick? Whatcha doing?” He asked.
“Ummm. I came to borrow Maggie. I need her help.” Rick said. He had forget to look at the time and he was wondering if he had woken them up. “I am sorry if I woke you guys up. I forgot to check the time.” Rick continued. Glenn just laughed and opened the door. Maggie was tearing the room apart looking for an outfit. Rick laughed as well.
“Mags. You wanna help me with a surprise?” Rick questioned stepping into the room. She looked up in glee.
“A surprise you say?” Maggie beamed. “I love surprises.” She quickly found an outfit and got dressed. They made their way up to the sky deck. This is where the finally couples activities was going to be. They had some games set up for after lunch. The dance was scheduled for tonight. They walked over to one of the crew members.
“Hi! What can I help you with today?” The lady asked them. They shared a look with each other. Rick spoke first.
“I want to propose to my boyfriend tonight. And I was hoping to do it during the dance.” Rick spoke nervously. The lady beamed. They continued discussing all the details of the proposal.
Daryl just woke up. He reached over to feel Rick. He wasn’t there. Daryl felt the bed and it was cold which meant Rick hadn’t been there in a while. He got up and put on the borrowed shorts with a sleeveless shirt. He walked over to Glenn’s room and knocked. Glenn opened the door.
“Hey have you seen Rick?” Daryl asked.
“He and Mags are shopping they will be done later. They are going to meet us for lunch. Go see if Andy and ‘Chonne are up while I finish cleaning up Mags mess.” Glenn laughed. Daryl walked over to the Michonne and Andrea’s room. He knocked. They both answered the door in their bathing suits.
“What? We were getting ready to go swimming.” Andrea stated. Daryl just laughed. He waited outside while the other three finished. They walked up the buffet. They saw Rick and Maggie heading down from the sky deck. They came over and joined with the rest of the group. Rick automatically joined hands with Daryl. Daryl blushed. They went and grabbed their food.
“Wanna go swimming with us?” Michonne asked. Everyone agreed. So Glenn, Maggie, Rick and Daryl went to get their swimming clothes on. They met back up with Andrea and Michonne. They spent the afternoon swimming. When it was getting close to nightfall they made their way back to their room. They got dressed and meet back up. They made their way up to sky deck.
It was beautiful decorated. There were twinkly lights on every visible surface. The atmosphere said romantic. There tea light candles scattered on the tables. There was a table that had a champagne fountain. There were light snacks. There was a DJ set up in the corner. There was a few couples already up there. The group made their way over to the snacks. Rick grabbed a tiny plate and filled it with fruit. Daryl tried to grab some on his plate but his hand was smacked away by Rick. He looked at Rick and saw the devilish smirk that was on his face. He sighed and gave up. He followed Rick to a table. Once they sat down Rick started hand feeding Daryl the fruit. Daryl picked some up and hand fed Rick as well.
Once more couples showed they started to dance. Glenn pulled Maggie along. He had to get away from Daryl and Rick. He wanted to know details. They swayed on the dance floor Maggie telling him about what they had planned. Michonne and Andrea were drinking champagne in a corner. Rick and Daryl were alone. Daryl leaned over and kissed Rick.
“I have a present for you.” Daryl said shyly. He reached in his pocket and pulled out a bracelet. The bracelet was silver. It had 3 charms on it. More could be added later. The three charms were the island, a letter D, and a letter R. Rick held out his hand for Daryl to put the bracelet on. Once it was on he admired it. He leaned over and kissed Daryl passionately. He pulled away and pulled Daryl on the dance floor. They danced for a few hours. It was almost time and Rick was getting really nervous.
The music started to slow down and Rick knew that was his cue. He pulled Daryl to the little stage that had been set up just for them. Daryl was really confused at what was going on. He looked for Maggie or Michonne. He spotted them close to the stage. Now he was really confused. They were beaming at him. He had no idea what was running through Rick’s head. They made it up to the stage. Everyone was looking at them and the music was a soft melody in the background.
“I also have a present for you.” Rick started. He was nervous and did not know if he could make it through his speech. He continued though “ Even though we have not been together for very long I have loved you for a while now. I really can’t go home and know that you aren’t going to be there. I love you.” He slowly lowered himself to one knee. The crowd sighed happily in unison. Daryl was blushing deeply. He was red from the tips of his ears to middle of his chest. He was extremely happy though. Rick pulled out the ring box and spoke with much more confidence now. “Daryl Jesse Dixon, will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?” Rick finished. There was a hush that went over the crowd in anticipation of his answer. Daryl looked down at the man he loved and looked over at his friends. They had a big grin plastered to their faces. He looked back to Rick and grinned proudly. He would deny that there were tears in his eyes. He pulled Rick up from the ground.
“Yes. I do.” He kissed Rick repeatedly. Rick slid the ring onto Daryl’s finger. It was beautiful. It was silver. It had tree branches all the way around it. Daryl looked up at Rick with a question in his eyes.
“I know you hunt. I wanted something that would be you. This fit.” He said looking into his lover’s eye. Daryl just smiled and kissed his now fiancé. He loved that word fiancé. Rick was his fiancé. He smiled and kissed his fiancé some more. They pulled apart and the crowd cheered. A few crew members brought over matching top hats that say JUST ENGAGED. The hats were placed on their heads. Maggie and Michonne beamed at each other. Their plan finally worked. They took pictures of the new couple and Daryl’s ring.
They finished dancing. It was well after midnight when they made it back to their rooms. They packed since tomorrow they would be docking. Rick pulled Daryl towards the bathroom after they finished packing. He started the shower and stripped himself and Daryl. They climbed into the shower. They were making out and washing each other. Rick looked into his fiancé’s eyes.
“So when we get back home are you going to move in with me?” Rick questioned. He looked hopeful. Daryl looked at him. He nodded his head. As soon as Rick saw the nod he leaned in and started kissing him roughly. Lips and teeth collided. Daryl’s moans were captured by Rick’s tongue. Rick started kissing Daryl’s jaw and neck. He kissed the sensitive spot behind his ear. Daryl’s hands were roaming all over Rick’s body. His hands finally landed on Rick’s straining erection. He gently started stroking. He would flick his wrist when he came to the head. Rick moaned into Daryl’s neck. Rick took Daryl in his hand as well. They stood there stroking each other for some time before Rick spoke.
“Daryl I need you.”
Daryl turned around and Rick started prepping him. He slid one finger in and hit the bundle of nerves. Soon Daryl was ready for another. He slid in gracefully another. Soon he slid his erect penis into Daryl. He waited for Daryl to adjust to him. Then he started a rhythm. It was a slow pace until Daryl begged for more. They both were quickly approaching the edge. Rick reached around and stroked Daryl. Soon Daryl fell over the edge and Rick followed a second after. They cleaned up and got out of the shower. They laid down. Both were to happy to sleep so they laid awake kissing till early morning.
