Love Aside | Ellie x Male Reader | The Last Of Us

Formality

*Readers pov*

You: Fuck! I'll find you later!

Joel: Shit!

He continues to fire at the men in the museum.

You: Go through the motorway I'll be on the other side.

Joel: Fine.

???: Be safe!

Why does she care? I fucking hate her.

I jump out of cover and backflip through the shots. I know, cheesy.

I land into another cover as I jump out the window and run down the street firing.

I continue until I know I lost them.

Once, in an Alley, I jump up to the building jumping from side to side between them.

I roll as I land ontop and I continue to jump across the buildings.

*Joel pov*

Me:...You can't swim.

I groan, getting into the water in the motorway we killed through. I can't believe she breathed in those spoars like that...

I swim over to the pallate and back to her with it. She jumps ontop.

Ellie: I wish Cutter was here...

Me: Oh, yeah?

Ellie: He would just swim me across like last time...

Me: Trust me, kid, Cutter is a sick person.

She jumps to the other side and I pull myself up.

Ellie: Why? He seems badass to me.

Me: He killed too many. In twisted ways. Tortured and cut people open.

Ellie: Right.

Me: The boys your age too. Looks like it.

Ellie:...So he will kill me?

Me: You're his goal. He needs to complete the mission so he can get what he wants.

Ellie: Whats his prize?

Me: Ask him.

I realise my mistake.

Me: Don't ask him anything actually.

Ellie: I won't be that prying then.

I take off my mask and put it into my bag.

Me: I knew him since he was 10, I got loads to say about him.

Ellie: Please do.

I look at the girl.

Me: Do you have a thing for badass people?

She turns red and denies.

Ellie: A "thing"? N-No.

I turn my head straight.

Me: Whatever you say.

We see sunlight coming through the exit.

Suddenly a silhouette of a person come out holding an axe.

We both step back.

Ellie: Who the fuck are you?!

We get closer to the person as the light shines right.

Y/N: What? Don't recognise my face?

Fucking idiot.

Me: No, you have a scary mask.

I push past him as he drops the axe. Looking at me, I know he has a slight smirk on.

*Readers pov*

Joel sits at the floor, tired and in pain. I get it, I am too from Tess death.

???: Hey, look, um... about Tess... I don't even know how to-

The neighbourhood shines as Joel looks at her pissed.

Joel: Here's how thing's are gonna play out, you don't bring up Tess - Ever. Keep history to eachother.

I cough.

Joel: Secondly, don't tell anyone about your immunity.

He looks at me and then the girl for my reaction.

Joel: And lastly, you do what I say, when I say it.

She looks down.

???: Sure.

Joel: Repeat it.

He says strictly.

???: What you say goes.

Joel: Good.

He stands up.

Joel: Now, theres a town a few miles north from here. There's a fella there that owes me a few favours. Good chance he can get us a car.

???: Okay..

Joel: Lets go.

We get a move on.

Joel: Hey, Cut'.

I look at him.

Joel: You should have heard her back in the motorway.

???: Dude!

He smirks.

Joel: She said "I want Cutter".

We both slightly chuckle.

???: I n-never!

We continue walking.

???: So...why are you called Cutter?

Joel: No questioning him.

???: Then you tell me

Joel: You don't need to know.

???: I do.

I sigh.

You: This one asshole, he was like a brother to me, he backstabbed me.

Joel: He fed Cutter to a clicker. Cutter escaped. He travelled on a motorcycle to the guy and when he found him...

I stay silent.

Joel: He only used his knife and killed everyone there brutally and left the shitbag last. You don't want to know what he did.

Traitor: Please, DON'T DO THIS Y/N!!!

I hold the knife out and laugh being poured from all of their blood.

Traitor: Y/N PLEASE!!!

I slice his throat open and pluck out his eyes with my fingers.

Joel: You don't want to know what he did.

???: Ouch.

Joel: Sad how a boy can hold so much pain from traitors, abuse, torture.

You: I kill, Old man. I make every person scared of me, I am the reason why kids stay up at night.

Joel: You look menacing enough.

???: I'm not scared.

We both stop and turn to her which makes her stop.

???: What?

She looks at us confused.

Me and Joel share a look.
