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

Tear

*Readers pov*

We are on the move for a while now. We are here though.

Finally.

Joel tries to open the reinforced gate but we hear a person above us.

???: Don't even think about reaching for a gun and tell that girl to drop hers!

Joel: Ellie, do what the lady says.

That's a lady?

She raises her hands as the lady points her rifle.

???: Please tell me you're lost.

Joel: We didn't know this place is occupied, we're just trying to make our way through.

Man: They're alright.

???: Wait, you know these people?

Man: I know him.

The gates open to find a similar man to Joel.

Man: It's my goddamn brother.

Joel: Tommy...

Tommy: Holy shit.

They both hug it out.

Joel: How you doing, baby brother?

Tommy: Goddamn...

Joel: Yeah...

Tommy: Let me look at you.

He pulls away, assessing him.

Tommy: You got fucking old.

Joel: Easy, it's gonna happen to you too.

The lady stands next to him.

Tommy: This is Maria. Be nice to her, she sorta runs things around here.

Joel: Ma'am, thanks for not blowing my head off.

Ellie whispers to me.

Ellie: Cute family reunion and all but that woman might still blow off ours.

I whisper back.

You: That's a woman?

She snickers.

Maria turns to us.

Maria: Ellie, right? And you?

You: Cutter.

Maria: Real name?

I don't respond.

Maria: What brings you along?

Ellie: Uh...It's kinda a long story.

Tommy: Why don't we bring them inside?

Maria: Yeah. You guys hungry?

Ellie: Starving. Cutters too.

You: No-

She pulls me to follow them.

*Timeskip*

I am surrounded by girls my age. All asking me questions as I still sit at the table that the girls occupied. I play with my knife, ignoring the comments.

*Ellie pov*

I am so fucking pissed. Why are they all on him?! I know him so much more better! He wouldn't replace me!

Maria: Jealous much, sweetie?

She looks at me, smirking.

Me: No!..

I say with spitefulness.

Me: I know him better than them! All they heard about is the "Infamous FireFlyHunter"!
