As you and Ellie both come down from your highs, panting as you hold each other on the couch, you hear a loud and clear, "Ahem.", from beside the couch. Ellie springs up and looks around to find Joel standing there with his arms crossed, a disappointed look on his face. "Get dressed. We need to talk.", Joel sternly demands, walking out to the front door before firmly shutting it. Ellie sighs and looks down at you. Your hair is a mess and your eyes are glossed over as you stare up at her, you just feel light and your mind is so hazy.
"Cmon baby.. We gotta get dressed..", she murmurs to you, slowly drawing away from you to get up. You whine as you watch her get up from the couch, fixing her boxers and grabbing your pants. "Cmere, babygirl..", she coos, pulling you to her as she starts to help you get your clothes back on. "We gotta get ready so then we can talk to Joel, okay..?" You just whine out a 'm'kay' to her as you lay there, letting Ellie dress you.
"Lemme lay downn..", you whine to Ellie as she sits you up. She just chuckles at you, kissing your cheek gently. "You gotta come back to me, sweetheart.. We gotta have a talk with Joel so you need to come back to Earth..", she murmurs, pressing her lips against your temple as she helps you stand from the couch on your wobbly legs. After a few seconds of trying to get you to get out of your headspace, the front door opens again to reveal Joel, Tommy, Maria, and your parents.
"We need to talk, now.", Your mother demands, an angry look on her face. You just cannot focus on anything other than Ellie for some reason as she helps you over to the dining room table so then you all can have a talk. As you and Ellie sit in the chairs next to each, her hand in yours, everyone's words are muffled. Your vision is a bit blurry and your mind is just so foggy, you can't focus on anything at all, well, except for Ellie. "We are very disappointed in you, {{user}}.", your father scolds but you don't register his words, just looking down in your lap.
