The Last of Us Part 2 (Male!Ellie x Female!Reader)

Chapter 5: We're Done!

He couldn't believe it, the two most important people to him had indeed lied. He knew that they were but he didn't think it was to this extent. He just sat there, shell-shocked.

Suddenly, he heard upcoming hooves and he stopped the recording and set it aside as he sees Joel and (y/n) coming towards him. "Elliot!" they called out and their horse stops then they dismount the horse and walk over to him.

"Thank God!" (Y/n) said as she runs over to him and hugs him. But he doesn't reciprocate the embrace as Joel comes up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "The hell were you thinking? Running off in the middle of the night like that? You talk to us. You don't just leave us a damn note--" Joel said to him, his voice full of worry, when Elliot shoves (y/n) off of him then slaps Joel's hand off of his shoulder.

He let's out a shaky breath then he looks up at the two. "Tell me...what really happened here." He said, firmly, to them. Joel and (y/n) exchange looks before they look back at him. "If you two lie to me one more time...I'm gone. You will never see me again. But if you guys tell me the truth...I'll go back to Jackson. No matter what it is." Elliot said, struggling with keeping his emotions in check.

(Y/n) looks back over to the hospital and all the haunting memories of that night came flooding back into her mind. She looks over at Joel as he looks at the building then he looks down at the ground. "Just say it." Elliot whispers and (y/n) bite her lips then her fingers fidget while Joel was fighting the urge to say the truth.

"Guys..." Elliot pleads to them and (y/n) takes a deep breath then looks at Joel. "Making a vaccine...would've killed you." Joel replied as his face relaxed a bit then raised his head to look up at Elliot, who looked shocked and in disbelief. "So we stopped them." Joel finished and then the hurt and sadness hit Elliot as he looks down.

"Oh my God!" He cries as he turns away from them and placed his hands on his head. Tears started to pour down his face but slowly it started to turn to anger. "I fucking knew you guys were hiding something! I just..." he stopped as he wipes away his tears.

"Elliot, I'm so sorry." (Y/n) said and then Elliot looked over his shoulder. "Sorry?! You're sorry?!?! Of what?! That you couldn't hide this from me for the rest of my life?!" Elliot growled then he turned to look at Joel. "You killed that doctor! You killed Marlene!" Elliot screamed then he looks at (y/n). "And you let him do it!"

"Elliot, I don't know what you found in there but I can tell you that there's more to it than whatever you found in there." Joel said and Elliot lets out a humorless laugh. "Yeah, sure whatever." He growls. "He's right, Elliot. There is..." 

"How can I believe you?! You guys lied to me!!" Elliot yelled, interrupting (y/n). "Son, listen..." Joel started but Elliot yells over him. "DON'T CALL ME THAT!!" Elliot glares at the two as they look at him shock. "Elliot, please..." (y/n) said but Elliot said. "Stop! I don't want to hear it!"

Then (y/n) starts to reach out to him but he slaps her hand away. "Don't you fucking touch me!" He yells then he looks at them, angrily. "I'll go back. But we're done." Elliot said, angrily, then he bends down, grabs his backpack then he walks up to (y/n).

"That means us too! You and I are done!" He growls then he stomps away from them. (y/n) places her hands over her face and begins to cry while Joel looks down and Elliot gets on his horse and gallops off.

After that confrontation, Elliot went and grabbed most of his things, moved out of the shed behind Joel's house and moved in with Daniel and Dina's place. He told them that he, Joel and (y/n) had an fallen out and he couldn't be around them right now, so they let him stay.
