This Isn't The End [Ellie Williams x Fem!Reader]

•Chapter 13•

Your P.O.V
"Absolutely not." Maria and Ellie said in sync. You were trying to convince them to let you leave Wyoming to go trade and hunt for supplies. You'd take Ellie with you of course, but when you asked about it Maria was saying no cause then she'd be short for patrols and then you said you could go on your own. The two women in front of you were adamant about you not going.
"Come on. You know the strain this winter is having on Jackson. Let me bring back some things to help." You protested. Jackson was beautiful and you love it here but it felt like the walls were closing in. You miss the open skies.
"Alone? No." Ellie scolded.
"Then come with me!" You raised your voice a little bit. You were desperate to have the open land before you, you'd come back to Jackson of course.
"Then I'm down two of my best people!" Maria pointed out.
"Maria you have plenty of people here. Please." You begged. You'd go out with or without her permission. It'd just be easier with her permission, and with Ellie. You wanted to show her your favorite route up into northern Idaho, show her that mansion you lived in.
"Where would you go?" She sighed. Hope lifted in your chest.
"An old route I used to do up into Northern Idaho, part of Montana. We'd be back in a week and half two weeks tops." You said reaching into your pack for your map. You never really showed it to anyone, Ellie had seen you marking in it sometimes but never really asked. It was your most prized possession. When you unfolded the huge map Maria gasped. You had marked outposts, buildings, routes, memories, towns, and even names of people.
"Holy shit (YN). How long have you had this?" Ellie asked.
"Since I left Boston that day." You said proudly. You had worked to keep this map in perfect condition other than your scrawled notes. "This is the route we would take." You pointed out the blue line you drew that went up through Idaho.
"Fine. You better bring back something good." Maria caved. You grinned at her and shook her hand. Once Maria was gone, Ellie wrapped her arms around you and lifted you off the ground.
"I'm so excited!" She laughed into your neck. You giggled slapping her shoulder so she'd put you down. Ellie kissed you quickly before letting you go.
"I'm gonna show you so much of Idaho, it's beautiful right now. And I'll get to show you that place I told you about, where I used to stay for winters." You beamed at her folding up the map.
"(YN)." Ellie's voice was low and held a note of panic, when you turned back around to face her someone was banging on your door.
"Open the door you bitch!" Seth screamed through the door. You groaned reaching for the bottle of liquor Ellie had on the table and taking a swig.
"I got this El." You said the nickname with a wink. Ellie's face flushed as her hand went to cover the hickey on her neck. You opened the door, leaning against the doorframe. "Hello Seth."
"You rotten-"
"I'll try that again. Hello Seth, this is where you say 'Hello (YN)' and then start telling me whatever your problem is." You interrupted. Seth snarled at you then, if this got too intense you knew Ellie was listening inside the house.
"You've been stealing my shit for that horrid beast of yours." He spat at you. That's about as polite as he gets with you.
"Oh you mean the apples you stole from the shipment that came in?" You inquired. Indeed, about a week ago a car pulled up filled with food for Jackson and before it could all be counted you saw Seth grab a bag of apples. You decided then You'd teach him a lesson, stealing from the city that employed him wasn't very smart. Seth's face paled.
"How dare you accuse me of such a thing?" He was shaking he was furious.
"It'd be a real shame if Maria found out. You know she doesn't tolerate thieves in her town." You said, the threat sharpening your voice.
"You wouldn't." Seth snapped at you.
"Babe.. what's taking so long?" Ellie's low husky voice came from behind you. You watched as horror took over Seths expression. You turned to look at her, her red hair messed up and her clothes in disarray. Most of all the hickey you left stark against her pale skin. "Oh, hi Seth." Ellie said clearing her throat. An excellent actress your girlfriend is apparently. You choked back a laugh at the look on Seths face.
"If you'll excuse me. I have... business to attend to." You purred shutting the door on the man as he opened his mouth and then closed it. You turned to Ellie, you were truly struck dumb by how beautiful she is. And how hot she sounded. "Ellie Williams. You are the most attractive person I've ever met." You said honestly. Ellie rolled her emerald eyes at you, her cheeks turning pink. You walked towards her, grabbed the collar of her shirt pulling her to you. Ellie was like a drug and you couldn't get enough. How were you going to focus when it was just you, her, and the woods. Ellie held you by your waist and backed up until you were laying on the couch with Ellie on top of you.
"(YN).... I don't think I'm ever going to get tired of you. It's like this final piece of me had clicked into place." Ellie confessed, her eyes searching yours. You began to tear up.
"I love you Ellie. So much, I'd go through it all over again if it meant I get to have you with me now." You sniffled wiping away a stray tear that escaped.
"I love you too (YN)." Ellie began to kiss down your jaw, your neck, you could feel her smiling against your neck as she left a hickey. You tilted your head giving her more access to your neck. You wanted her, all of her. You pulled her back to your mouth, sitting up as the kiss began to get sloppy. You reached to take off your shirt when Ellie grabbed your wrists. "You're sure?" Ellie asked, concern shining in her eyes.
"Yes, fuck yes." You said eagerly. Ellie helped you remove your top, goosebumps rising on your skin.
"I love you." She said between kisses as she trailed down your chest. Lower.
"Please." You gasped out. Ellie chuckled and happily obliged.

     The alarm clock began to screech at the top of its lungs this time it was you who began to complain, pulling your pillow over your face in defiance.
     "(YN)! Wake up, today's the day!" Ellie greeted. You knew it was dawn and you should wake up and get ready to leave but part of you just wanted to lay in bed with your girlfriend for an hour more. However when you reached across the bed for her she was already up and out of bed.
     "Ellie please come back to bed, five more minutes." You whined. Ellie's mischievous laughter grew as she slid under the blankets back to you. But when you removed the pillow from over your head your girlfriend began to kiss your face. Sloppy wet kisses making you screech with laughter. "Ellie! Stop!" You laughed. Ellie paused with her kisses and rolled on top of you. She was already dressed much to your disappointment. The friction of her worn t shirt against your skin was already almost too much. Maybe you'd get that extra hour in bed with her anyways. Ellie leaned down like she was going to kiss you, pausing an inch before your lips.
      "Get up (YN)." Ellie said before finally placing a short kiss on your mouth. And then she was gone. You swore at her playfully sitting up, the sun warming your bare skin. "Wait, stay right there." Ellie commander. You leaned back on your hands raising a brow as she left the bedroom and came back with a sketchbook.
"You're gonna draw me half naked?" You asked, pink staining your cheeks. Ellie hushed you and began to sketch you. You loved to watch her draw. The way her brows furrowed with concentration, she sometimes would bite her lip as she adjusted a line or two. When she finished she turned it around to show you.
"You're beautiful. I could draw you every day and still never really capture how fucking gorgeous you are." Ellie gushed. You rolled your eyes, crawling over to her and kissing her quickly before getting dressed.
Once Atlas and Shimmer were saddled, and you said your goodbyes to all your friends, it was time to go. You looked over at your girlfriend who was beaming over at you. You clicked your tongue at Atlas, giving Ellie a challenging grin before launching Atlas forward into the woods, towards Idaho. Towards the future for you and Ellie.
