    Summary

    “Hey.”

    The girl’s eyes snapped up, panicked. She spared a second to glance down at the man in front of her, her eyes racing up and then looked at Joel with the exact same type of terror, before emerging with something in her hands.

    Joel watched, immediately suspecting a gun. “Whoa, now-”

    The girl lifted her hands up, revealing an old knife. She smeared the tears on her cheeks away, trying to seem bigger than she was, but it didn’t work.

    She was a terrified kid.

    The urgency in Joel’s expression blinked. “Hey,” He repeated, his voice painted soft, though he didn’t let himself hear it. The girl just stared up at him with her knife, not realizing the tremble of her own grip or the violent shakes that tore through her entire, bare body. He just realized that now. Only her knees were covering her, along with the clearly torn pair of underclothes on her lower half. She cringed under his eyes. “It’s okay,” He tried. “I’m not gon’ hurt you.”

    The girl didn’t even blink. She just stared up through her tears, terrified of him.

    Fuck.

    TLDR: Joel finds a traumatized Ellie on the side of the road. He's immediately soft. Meanwhile, she has to learn how to trust him.

    Summary

    Doctors come in and out. There isn't much more they can do. She's yelled and screamed and cursed about it. Didn't change anything. They did what they could. All she can do is wait. Fucking useless.

    He's lost so much blood. She wanted to give him some, but they're not the same blood type. Of course they're not. Maybe they would be if she were his daughter, but she's not. She's not.

    He's lost so much blood. So much blood running through her fingers. Ellie wipes her hands on her jeans. It doesn't help.

    He's stilI. Too still. But his chest lifts and falls, and that has to be enough.

    ~oOo~

    Or, the one where Ellie saves Joel from Abby, and they get to try and mend what has been broken between them for so long.
