her green eyes wide with concern and relief . her words sink deep into his heart and she’s the only one he ever pulls into a hug . ❝  you should know by now that i’m too stubborn t’ die . a couple of infected can’t get me down . ❞ he’ll just leave out the fact that it was way more than a couple and once he tells tommy what he saw . well , they’ll just go from there . 

         Another growl leaves past dry lips.   She squeezes her eyes with the palm of her hands,  finally,   she finds herself sitting properly against the back of the chair      ❛     what happened ?    did i ?   ...  fall asleep ?     ❜

            this group,  they weren’t anything like  F.E.D.R.A,   in Rosario’s eyes they were worse,  ruthless and way more savage    (  primitive even  )     ❛     they’re fanatics and they shoot on sight   ❜     she warns,     although there’s a chance Ellie would have already stumbled upon them by now      ❛     have you seen the graffiti ?     ❜    

      ❛  hey. . .  ❜   spoken  through  a  heavy  breath ,  knees  bending  so  he  would  balance  on  his  feet  in  front  of  the  stone  grave          looking  now  to  let  his  eyes  read  the  name  JOEL  MILLER  etched  across.  he  had  meant  to  come  sooner  after  the  burial  &  have  this  talk.  the  talk  with  a  dead  man.  but  he  had  been  too  worried  that  ellie  would  be  UPSET          think  that  he  had  no  right  to  pay  respects  or  visit  where  he  lay  after  the  rocky  history  of  the  two  men.  so  he  didn’t.  but  he  had  to.  he  needed  to  say  his  peace.  for  while  he  may  not  believe  in  any  higher  power  or  nonsense  like  that ,  he  KNEW  joel  would  be  listening.   ❛  i ,  ah. . .  i’m  sorry  i’m  just  getting  here  now.  not  that          you  know ,  you’d  care  or  anything.  ❜   not  spoken  with  malice ,  but  much  rather  an  attempt  at  a  joke          he  was  never  good  at  this  kind  of  thing.   ❛  anyway ,  i. . .  wanted  to  come  here  t’let  you  know  that  i’m  sorry.  ❜   lowering  of  his  head ,  fidgeting  of  hands.   ❛  see          i  was  right  there. . .  you  know ??  i  saw  your  fuckin’  tracks  &  i  saw  tommy’s  &  the  other  one.  if  i  was  just  a  little  FASTER ,  i  would  have  made  it  t’you.  but  that  didn’t  happen ,  so. . .  ❜   a  shake  of  his  head.  that  damn  storm.  jaw  clenching  as  a  huff  of  breath  shot  through his  aching  chest.   ❛  i  could’ve  helped  you  &  i  didn’t.  so  i’m  sorry.  but. . .  you  should  also  know  that  i  got  ellie  n’tommy  out  of  there.  they’re  safe          little  banged  up  but  safe.  ❜   another  pause ,  head  raising  to  focus  on  his  name  now.   ❛  i’m  gonna  do  right  by  you.  you  hear  me ?  I WILL.  no  one. . .  no  one  should  die  like  that.  not  you.   you  kept  ellie  safe  n’i  never  got  to  pay  you  back  for  that  like  i  wanted  to.  but  i’m  gonna  now.  hopefully  tommy  n’ellie  will  let  me  go  with  them          if  they  do ,  we’re  gonna  make  those  motherfuckers  PAY  for  what  they  did.  if  they  don’t. . .  make  damn  sure  i’m  gonna  track  them  down  myself.  and. . .  you  don’t          have  t’worry  about  ellie.  i’ve  got  her  from  here  now ,  okay ?  i  promise.  i’m  not  gonna  let  anything  happen  to  her.  n’i  hope  you  trust  me  enough  to  believe  that.  ❜   MINUTES  would  go  by ,  staring  to  stone  before  shaking  his  head  once  again  &  letting  his  gaze  fall.   ❛  i’m  gonna  miss  you ,  you  bastard.  ❜

                      ❛    he spilled the beans,  that’s what we needed   ❜      she sentences whilst roughly sweeping off the drops of sweat that rolled down her forehead.        ❛    they’re close,  his group,    we’ll get there in a few hours if we leave at dawn  ❜  

I FUCKING LOVE YOU RIGHT BACK AND YOU ARE SUCH A BLESSING. I’M SO GLAD I MET YOU. 

       “I’ve been trying to gather materials… supplies … first aid. Anything we can use for when we start moving west. It’s going to be a long journey and we need to be prepared.” The firefly rests elbows over knees that are tucked into his chest. Ellie sits next to him much in the same position, the roof tends to be their safe haven where they can sit and talk from time to time. The upcoming endeavor has a lot of people on edge and he can’t help but fear that the worst has yet come to pass. “Its just been busy lately having to do what I need to in the shadows. It’s not easy getting around the city with a target on your back.” 

❛   𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐊 𝐈 𝐃𝐎𝐍'𝐓 𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐃 ?   ❜   flared nostrils.  frustration speaks, it takes the forefront of her emotions.  Rosario’s visibly struggling to contain and refrain herself from raising her voice, she’s aware of the risks and knows they can’t afford them.  ❛   i spent 5 years looking for my brother,  5 years  ❜     she growls,  jaw clenches afterward     ❛   i know you won’t stop,  but that doesn’t mean i’m willing to let you go out there on your own   ❜    she finally sentences allowing attentive eyes drift from side to side making sure no one was paying attention to the heated conversation.
