can you pls write a fic of reader being new in jackson and ellie crushing on her (love ur fics btw) đđđ
sorry it took so long love, been busy getting drunk and stuff lmao (iâm picturing ellie as 17/18 in this however iâve left out specific ages so imagine however old you want)
you were travelling with your sibling when you stumbled across jackson. believe it or not but it wasnât your original destination, your younger sibling didnât do well with new people and in jackson, thereâs a lot of them
however, two men called tommy and joel found you wandering the areas and invited you for food (you hadnât eaten in days so you hastily agreed)
when you got there, you didnât expect to love it as much as you did. even your sibling had made a friend within the first hour of being there.
when you met maria, she offered to give you a tour of the town. quickly checking on your sibling (who was perfectly content playing in the playground with other kids) maria took you around jackson
and god when you saw her, it was like the world stopped turning.
not surprisingly, the same happened for her too.
you were a hot mess; hair pulled into a ponytail, clothes ripped and muddy and the beat up converse on your feet were practically fallen apart. plus the scars that littered your bare arms and face where doing something for her.
she was with dina and jesse when you walked by with maria, the older woman briefly introducing you to them. she told you there names and told them yours before she continued showing you around
itâs safe to say that once you gave ellie that welcoming smile she was smitten
jesse and dina were relentless in teasing the girl.
after a year in jackson
you had gotten a lot closer to dina and jesse. so close youâd probably call them your best friends but ellie? well she usually avoided you
you werenât sure why but dina told you she just didnât do well around new people. come on now, you werenât new anymore
the real reason? she couldnât go two seconds without getting flustered and stuttering and probably blurting out the truth
so what better way than to BEG maria to place you on patrol with the girl
any luckily, she agreed. you were a strong fighter especially with a bow and ellie was good with a gun and her knife.
ellie said not one word to you the majority of the time. only brief words of directions. it was on your way back when you stopped your horse, tied her to a tree and just stood there. when ellie realised you werenât following she turned the horse around and went back over to you
âdo you not like me or somethingâ
âwhat?â ellie was shocked at your question
âyou never fucking pay attention to me ellie. itâs all iâve fucking wantedâ
and god when she figures out you like her back (which lets be real, takes a while) she will just run forward, take your face in her hands and kiss the loving shit out if you
when you get back to jackson, best believe everyone realises really quick
starting off, ellie would introduce you as âthe mrsâ or âmy wife WHEREVER you go. i mean everyone, would hear those words whenever your in view
âoh look thereâs the mrs nowâ or âthereâs my wifeâ
quite nights in with gf!ellie >>>
sheâd 100% play guitar and hum songs when youâve had a long day and need sleep
couldnât believe you actually agreed to go out with her originally, she genuinely thought you where straight until you blabbed about your ex girlfriend one night
will drag you everywhere with her. seriously if this woman needs a piss at 3 in the morning you best believe she is waking you up just so she can use the toilet while you stand lazily by the door
VERY protective over you, im not joking. if your on patrol together, sheâll always be behind you so nothing can jump at you without you realising
she tries not to let you kill anything, whether itâs infected or raiders but when you do team up to kill a large group of infected. your an undeniably good team.
ellie will (and this isnât up for discussion) always talk through arguments. there is no going to bed angry with ellie as a girlfriend. everything is sorted within the hour.
you two are the centre of attention at Jackson parties. not only because your one of the few lesbian couples there but because after a few drinks, you both get quite handsy and dance carelessly together
the first kiss with ellie definitely happened randomly. maybe you were making food and ellie just walks in, grabs your face and kisses you.
you where the first to say âi love youâ because ellie was scared that admitting it aloud would be stupid. everyone she has loved before, had died.
it would be a cute moment though. just imagine sitting on the couch with ellie whilst she plays the guitar. your just admiring her with a smile as she strums chords and puts together a little tune.
you just couldnât help but blurt out those three words. ellieâs movements stilled as she looked up at you, her eyes wide and her mouth open
she will so casually pull one of these after you say what you said
you knew she wouldnât say it back but once she composed herself she just gives you a smile and grabs your hand, bringing your knuckles up to her lips
it would take her a while to say it back. it would probably be after either you or her get injured pretty badly.
speaking of injuries, she wouldnât let you touch a single wound. ellie would clean and dress them while you just sit there watching her with an amused smile
sometimes, ellie would get on your nerves with how late she has a tendency to stay up to. youâll be in bed and youâll hear ellie screaming at the tv (either at a game or a film). knowing she got into bed with you at eleven, you checked the clock and saw it was 2am
if ellie wakes up before you (which is incredibly rare) sheâll bring you whatever food was being served in the dining hall and a coffee for you to have breakfast in bed.
gf!ellie would 100% get a tattoo that reminded her of you. something like a flower or an object that you loved
no thoughts just gf!ellie
