Chapter Text
They sat there. Cold, scared and on their knees awaiting the fate that was to come for them.
The man emerged from the R.V. and wondered over to the long row of people, he was tall, lean
and dressed all in black from his boots to the leather jacket he wore with the only spot of color
being the red scarf around his neck.
After introducing himself the man went into a speech of how he didn't appreciate them killing
his men, saying they had to pay, showing off a baseball bat he called Lucille, the thing covered
in barbed wire.
What happened next sent everyone into a tailspin of emotions, Negan did indeed beat the holy
hell out of one of them beating Abraham's head so much and so hard leaving nothing left but
hair, blood, brain matter, skin and bone.
Negan laughed, smiling he wondered up to Rosita taunting her, telling her to "take a damn
good look".
It was at that moment Daryl launched himself at the psychotic prick landing a left hook
across Negan's face sending the man stumbling backward.
Recovering Negan stepped forward and frowned "what the hell happened to him?
and why's he bleeding?".
"He's been shot" said the man holding onto the hunter's injured arm firmly as
Daryl continued to struggle.
Negan's frown deepened "put him in the van".
And as the two men attempted to drag the hunter away Rick broke down
into hysterics, screaming.
"No please! not Daryl please!" he screamed as large fat tears fell from his eyes.
Seeing this, Negan held up a hand "Joe, Martin get him back in line".
As the two men dragged Daryl out of the van and back in line Negan smiled
a wicked grin as he knelt down in front of Rick.
"What the hell was that?" said Negan his eyebrows raised slightly.
"Let me ask you something Rick and be honest, do you love him?" he
said pointing to Daryl.
Negan sighed "speak when spoken to Rick".
Swallowing Rick spoke "y-yes" he choked out.
Getting up Negan went over to where Daryl sat hunched over.
"Look at me" he barked out.
Daryl looked up and with his ungloved hand Negan lifted Daryl's head up
by his hair.
"Same question, do you love him?" said Negan this time pointing
to Rick.
Gripping his hair tighter Negan shouted "speak when spoken to!".
"Yeah" said Daryl his voice horse.
"Well that wasn't so bad now was it?" said Negan letting go of Daryl's hair
and looking over what was left of the group of people kneeling before him.
Smiling that Cheshire cat grin Negan looked to Rick and said "you know what?
I've got a great idea".
Rick stared into those cold brown eyes having no choice but to listen.
"Since you two lovebirds love each other so much why not have you
two get married?".
When no answer came Negan smiled "I like the sound of that, let's do it".
Setting down Lucille Negan clapped his hands and motioned for Dwight.
"Dwight, let's bring our lovers together and put Daryl right next to Rick".
Dwight wasted no time in grabbing the hunter and setting him down
next to Rick while shoving Carl aside slightly.
"Good now all we need now is a priest".
Looking around Negan shouted to his men "now which one of you
used to be a priest before the world went to shit!".
His question was answered when a man with sandy blonde hair and hazel
eyes carrying a bowie knife stepped forward.
"I did" was the man's only response.
"Good" said Negan smiling "would you mind doing the honors?".
Nodding the blonde man went right into it, pausing only to ask
their names.
When the ceremony was over Negan leaned into Rick's ear and said "you can
kiss him if you want, I'll allow it".
The two didn't.
"Well congratulations you two" said Negan clapping half-assed.
"So as my wedding gift to you two and cause I'm such a nice guy, I'm gonna
let you guys spend an entire day with each other for your honeymoon".
"However" said Negan still wearing that same shit-eating grin on his face.
"You two gotta make this official and consummate your marriage you
know, a little freaky-deeky".
Blushing scarlet Rick and Daryl moved apart from each other slightly
making Negan chuckle.
"What's wrong Rick? your bride getting shy?" said Negan still laughing at
how uncomfortable Rick and Daryl were becoming.
Dawn was breaking and everyone was preparing to leave when Negan kneeled next to
Rick and said "there's one last thing I forgot to mention, I'm gonna need proof of you
and Daryl's consummation and don't you two go and fake it with animal, walker or
someone else's blood or I may just have to kill another person in your little group
understand?".
Rick nodded.
Negan got up and smiled "good".
Motioning to his group Negan and his men left, leaving Rick and his group
alone in the pre-dawn morning.
