❝ maybe this is not as one-sided as you thought ❞

SUMMARY

You often go on patrols with Ellie. You're in love with her but are trying to hide it, convinced that you're not Ellie’s type. Every patrol is filled with quiet tension, stolen glances, and the ache of unspoken feelings.

As you keep your distance emotionally, hiding behind banter, duty, and the excuse of “just doing your job", the feelings always creep back in during patrols, when it’s just the two of you out in the wild.

It all seems hopeless and one sided until the New Year’s Eve party in Jackson. You're lingering by the drinks table when Ellie suddenly steps closer. She looks uncharacteristically nervous, fidgeting as her eyes dart away. Then, almost stumbling over her words, Ellie asks if you would like to dance.
