you and Ellie took care of eachother. Always together for patrols. You understood her weaknesses and spotted her where she needed you. It escalated to girlfriends after a couple of months of stepping around the topic.

she had confessed after you were to oblivious to her flirting. You’d staring at her shocked for at least a minute before you asked if she was serious, but she just laughed and reassured you.

she knew you were a little different. Only ever stealing one specific hoodie of hers because you liked the fabric. You liked to do her hair. You’d eat the same thing most days. But she loved you all the same.

recently you and Ellie had to hide out a snowstorm in some cabin you’d found. You’d found a small otter stuffed animal. Since then it hadn’t left your side.

ellie didn’t say anything, but everyone else did. Ellie didn’t like it, so today when you’d both settled into her bed. You mindlessly playing with her hair.

“hey babe, what’s with the otter?” she didnt see what was so special about it.
