    Summary

    Weight claimed Joel’s face. After another crack, he lowered himself down and sat beside Ellie in her chosen hiding spot: the dining room table. What a kid. His heart softened at the thought. His silver hair brushed against their shelter; her head barely peaked above his shoulders. “I won’t let it get you, Ellie,” He soothed. 

    “You can’t control the fucking wind, Joel,” Ellie pointed out, sniffling. 

    Joel almost smiled. Ellie never missed the opportunity to be a little shit. “I won’t let anything get you,” He corrected softly. She swiveled and peered up at him with puffy eyes. He felt like himself under her gaze, a gentle dad once again for the first time in twenty years. “It sounds like a real nasty thunderstorm. That’s all, kiddo. Just some big clouds and a little lightning. You're okay."

    TLDR// Ellie is scared of thunderstorms.
