Ellie x Fem!Reader one shots

"Why haven't you kissed me yet?"

•Dina is having a party and you get a little tipsy, that's of course when Ellie shows•

     You had made a mistake it seemed. Dina invited you to a small party she and Jesse were having. She promised not to let you get too drunk, she also promised that Ellie wasn't coming. You have had a crush on the beautiful red head since the summer prior when you all went camping together. She had shared a tent with you while Jesse and Dina shared the other.
     Dina had fallen through on both her promises. The bonfire that was burning in the backyard had nothing in the burn of the alcohol down your throat. You knew you should stop drink but every time you started sobering up you kept remembering that Ellie probably didn't like you back. After dating Cat, the amazing tattoo artist, you felt unsure. You'd been avoiding the girl for a few weeks now as your feelings were growing more apparent.
     "(YN)?" A cool voice laced with worry came from behind you. You turned seeing Ellie leaning against the doorway. Everyone else was outside by the bonfire listening to music and chatting, you had gone inside for a shot. Needing the liquid courage to interact with the other people of Jackson. Now you regretted the alcohol turning in your stomach.
     "Ellie?" Your voice sounded weird to you. You leaned against the counter top bracing yourself against the cool stone.
     "Holy fuck you're drunk." Ellie observed walking towards you, pulling a glass from the cabinet she poured you a glass of water.
     "Dina said... Dina said you didn't want to come tonight. Usually I'm not like this I promise." You slurred. Ellie chuckled leaning against the counter next to you, her arm brushing yours.
     "I wasn't, then she said you'd be here." Ellie mused, you could feel her green eyes watching you. You took a long drink of the water, savoring the coolness.
      "Why would you come to party that I'm at?" You asked, hope fluttering in your chest.
      "Why wouldn't I is the better question." Ellie scoffed. Before you could reply Dina came into the kitchen.
     "(YN)! There you are." Dina breathed in relief. You caught her guilty brown gaze. She was the only one who knew about your feelings for Ellie. "Hey Ellie, good to see you!" She smiled hugging the red head quickly.
     "Hey Dina, she's pretty wasted. I might take her home." Ellie said quietly, you opened your mouth to protest. You weren't sure if Ellie knew and was rejecting you or not. You didn't want to know.
     "Yeah that's probably a good idea." Dina agreed, Ellie took your arm looping it through hers. When her back was turned Dina gave you a big grin and thumbs up.
     "I'm sorry. You don't have to take responsibility for me, you should go back and enjoy the party." You rambles as Ellie walked you through the front yard onto the main sidewalk.
     "I got what I came for actually." Ellie hummed bumping her shoulder into yours.
     "Me?" You asked oblivious, your head began to spin a bit.
     "Yes you. Why have you been avoiding me?" Ellie asked. Your stomach dropped, of course she noticed.  You frowned looking at anywhere but her.
     "If I'm completely honest I'm not sure. I've missed you even though it's me pushing you away." You sighed. Ellie stopped walking tugging you so you're facing her, she gently squeezed your arm.
     "I've missed you too (YN)." Ellie admitted, her beautiful eyes boring into yours. You felt your eyes begin to water, you stepped forward into her arms.
     "It's so stupid." You sniffled into her shoulder.
     "What is?" She asked.
     "I was pushing you away because I like you." The alcohol gave you the extra push you needed to confess your feelings. Ellie pulled back to look at you and your stomach flipped.
     "Really?" Ellie breathed. You could only nod, feeling you cheeks burn in embarrassment. Ellie held your hand and then continued your walk back to your house, but then Ellie made a turn and you realized she was leading you to her house. Once you barely made it up the steps on her porch with your jelly legs, Ellie let go of your hand to hold the door open to you.
     "Ellie? Are you sure you don't want me to go back to my house? I don't want to ruin your night off." You said, worry clear in your voice. Ellie motioned for you to take a seat on her couch, and then she sat down next to you. She was unusually quiet. You braced yourself for her rejection.
"No. I want you to stay here, for the night. Fuck stay forever if you want." Ellie scratched the back of her neck. Ellie was nervous?
"I'd love that." You sighed tearing your gaze from the striking woman so close to you.
"Really?" Ellie sounded surprised.
"Of course, I really like you Ellie." Your cheeks burned, you felt like you were going to explode.
"I like you too (YN). I thought you were pushing me away because you knew I liked you and didn't want to hurt my feelings." Ellie confessed reaching across the couch to hold your hand. You gripped her freckled hand, it didn't feel real. The woman you'd loved for so long returned your feelings.
"I'm sorry I avoided you." You apologized, tilting forward so your head rested against her shoulder.
     "(YN)?" Ellie's voice held a note of nervousness. You pulled away, not too far of course, you were still close enough to her to feel her breath warm your face. Her emerald eyes searching yours, flicking to your lips and then back to your eyes.
    "Ellie, why haven't you kissed me yet?" You asked drunkenly. The alcohol made you feel like your eyelids weighed pounds and were trying to close. Sleep was so tempting but you wanted to stay up with Ellie.
     "Go to sleep, I'll kiss you in the morning. When you're hungover that is." Ellie joked. She made you drink a glass of water and some aspirin, and tucked you in on her couch. As you had begun to fall asleep, you felt a pair of lips brush your forehead, and knew tomorrow morning your whole world would be changed.
