🎶: flare by dawnfarer

you needed a friend. you had been out on your own for so long near jackson, you barely knew where you even were anymore.

you met ellie when she was going to seattle, and you tagged along with her on her mission. you two became close friends, and maybe a little bit more, but neither of you would admit that.

you supported ellie in her hardest times. she loved you. she often thought of you as the flare that guided her, the raft that kept her up in a racing river. she didn't expect the love, it just happened.

you two are back in jackson and she's constantly hanging out with you. always around you, crashing at your place, patrolling together, her hand always on your waist or her fingers wrapped around yours.

on patrol one day, you're on a route with jesse and you get injured. he totes you back to jackson and your leg is gushing blood, you're lightheaded and everything is spinny. you look for ellie.
