Norman Reedus Imagines

Daryl Imagine (Part 1)

Summary; Young Daryl (18 ☺️) gets pressured into going to a party with his friends and runs into the very shy Y/N, who he's had a crush on for a very long time.

I've had this imagine in my mind for a while now and I am obsessed with young Norman so I had to make this imagine ☺️

Daryl's POV

Y/N Y/L/N...
I stared at her as she placed her books in her locker then rummaged through her backpack for something. Y/N and I have been going to the same school ever since we were just little kids. Hell, we were even neighbors and I saw her every single day of my life but I never made the move to even talk to her..I would always chicken out in asking her on a date or just have a casual conversation with her. She was also so damn shy but in a cute way.
"Jeez Daryl, might wanna wipe the drool from your lip." My douchebag 'friend' Shane joked as he walked up with Rick and Glenn. I scoffed and opened my locker, throwing my textbook inside and grabbing my backpack before slamming it shut and leaned against it.
"Oh leave him alone. He likes the girl." Rick defended me and I just shrugged.
"Whatever man. He needs to grow a pair and ask her. A lot of people are asking her to Abraham's party tonight but she's so shy I don't think she'd go at all. You goin?" Shane nudged me and I shoved him, shrugging my shoulders and shrinking back into the locker.
"Yeah! I asked Maggie Greene and she said yes!" He grinned in achievement.
"I'm takin Lori." Rick stated the obvious about his long term girlfriend.
"I'm gonna ask Andrea." Shane smirked proudly, "She can be annoying but hell, she's hot."
I tuned the jackass out as he yammered on and on and Andrea..why did I even hang out with him? I liked talking with Rick and Glenn but this guy was just a real douchebag.
My eyes went back to Y/N as she still looked through her book bag desperately before spilling the contents of it everywhere. People chuckled and walked by as she tried to gather everything, trying to save her things from getting stepped on. I quickly walked to her side and collected all of the papers she dropped.
"Thank you." She nervously spoke as we both reached for the same paper and our hands touched, making us both rip our hands away as I felt a shock but I had no idea why she did. Y/N stared at me for a second before standing up and I followed, handing her her papers.
"Thanks again, Daryl." She said in a low spoken voice and smiled small, making my heart melt and I nodded.
'Psst!' I heard as she turned to place her bag in her locker and turned to see Rick and Glenn mouthing 'ask her!!'
I rolled my eyes before looking back to Y/N to see her closing her locker again and jumping once she saw me still standing there. I let out a breath,
"You uh goin to Abraham Ford's party?" I grunted and she looked shocked I actually spoke to her.
"Um..I-I don't know..I-I might. Maggie really wants me to go." She trailed off and hugged her mathbook to her chest.
"Why?" She caught me off guard. I tried not to stare at her beautiful face for too long of a time without creeping her out and cleared my throat.
"Nothin." Im such a fucking chicken.. "Maybe I'll see ya there."
What was wrong with me?
"Uh yeah. Maybe." She nervously smiled and we both stood in an awkward silence until the chipper Maggie Greene bounced happily next to us,
"Hey! Y/N!! Guess what!!"
I winced and both girls looked at me,
"Oh..sorry. Am I interrupting?"
I shook my head, scratching the back of my head,
"I'll see ya 'round, Y/N"
"Bye Daryl." She gave me a small smile before I walked away, cursing myself a thousand times.

"Well???" Rick asked as I met him and Glenn at my locker again and shook my head.
"Didn't ask er."
"Why not?!" Glenn added and I shrugged, chewing on my thumbnail.
"Oh well..maybe we'll see her tonight."
"Ain't goin neither." I said.
"Come on, man. It'll be fun. It'll get you out of the house on a Friday night."
"Yeah! Commeee onnnn!" Glenn pressured me and I sighed,
"Fine. If it'll shut ya up." Rick and Glenn laughed at my stubbornness and I noticed dickbag was gone. "Where's Shane?"
Glenn turned and pointed down the hallway to Shane who was making out with Andrea. I just about vomited..
Rick noticed my facial expression and chuckled,
"Let's get going. We have History in 5."
I nodded and glanced once more at Y/N who was listening intently to Maggie talk about something that she as really excited about before walking with Glenn and Rick to our final class of the day.
