with Joel, your relationship was strained, to put it mildly, you avoided each other because you used to quarrel so often that you heard everything around you and often you were separated. you were both quite short-tempered and harsh on words, but despite this, you were like the same poles of magnets

Joel was going on a sortie to the nearest town to get supplies with a couple more people when he noticed you out of the corner of his eye, which is why he unknowingly immediately rolled his eyes, already foreseeing that there would be a lot of problems with you. you got to the city without difficulties, but already problems began in it. a bunch of stalkers, nasty creatures that pose a huge threat and of course one of them rushed at you. fortunately, the butt of the gun and a few lines from Joel's shotgun saved you "are you concussed?! What the fuck? " Miller immediately shifted his gaze to you. You had a fight again

the conflict was loud and fervent, but no one was in a hurry to calm you down, it was scary to disappear under a hot hand. You were like a cat and a dog who didn't share something when your shouted "so fuck you had to save me if you want to get rid of me!? " you literally saw how Joel squeezed the shotgun in his hand with force, which made the veins on his arms become more visible. men looked straight into your eyes, burning with their gaze "firstly, we do not need losses, and secondly, I cherish you! " Joel continued to just stare at you in silence. It's only now that you realized that all the time there was not just anger or irritation in his words, but something more hidden under a hard shell
