The Last Of Us Part II x OC! Male reader

5 years later

-a/n- Logan's about 5'10 and he's 21.
Also, thanks to all that read my first book and enjoyed it! I'm going to be doing the same thing, by focus more on story and dialogue rather than action, unless it's important, and changing a couple things here and there.

ELLIE'S POV

I woke up in a cold sweat, thinking about when Joel told me that Logan didn't make it.

It's been 5 years, and I still miss him, but I'm with Dina now. We kissed around a week ago, and tonight she invited me to the party.

I heard a knock on my door.

"Yo, Ellie. Assignments!" It was Jesse.
'Fuck, i hate patrolling' I thought to myself.
"Yeah, coming!" I got ready and right as I was about to leave the room, I stared at the portrait I made of Logan.

I opened the door, and was greeted by Jesse.
"Good morning." He was always polite.
"Morning." I said softly.
"So today, you're patrolling with me. We're doing the creek trails, as always."
"Great." I said in a sarcastic mood.
"Hey, you okay?" He stopped at a door.
"Yeah, just didn't get a lot of sleep."
"Oh."
There was a silence.
"Hey Joel was asking about you the other day"
Jesse spoke up.
"Why?" I hadn't spoken to Joel in a few months.
"Just wanted to see how you were doing."
"Ugh."
"What happened to you two?"
"Just drifted apart i guess."
"Okay."
We made it to the stables and I saw Dina getting her horse. We waved at each other, as we didn't have time to have a conversation because of patrols.

"Alright." Jesse started speaking to all of us that were going on patrol.
"Mark your logbooks, clear any infected you see. If you run into anything you can't handle, you come back. Be smart about it."

That's what he always says.

'Be smart about it.'

We got on our horses, and started our patrol.

--Somewhere Else--

LOGAN'S POV

I was trying to find my way to Jackson, I was close. It had been years. I would've gone earlier but I was in a group that didn't let me leave, but I took a chance one day and ran, far away.

After an hour or two I saw a big city, with lights.

I made it.

I walked to the gate, and saw Maria pointing a gun at me.
"Who are you?"

Ah, reminds me of old times.

"Maria?" I shouted.

She put her gun down and ran down to the gate quickly.

"Logan? Oh my god." She ran up to me and gave me a hug.
"Holy shit you got so big!" It was kind of embarrassing hearing that but I expected it.
"Joel and Ellie are gonna freak out!" She then pulled out her radio and asked for Tommy to meet her at the front gate. We started to walk in.
"Wow, it's so pretty here." I told Maria.
"Yeah it's a nice place for families." I kept looking around.
I then saw Tommy come up to me and hug me.
"Holy shit Logan, you're old!"
"Alright relax" I teased.
"Yeah but you're taller than me now! And you got a beard. Holy shit." He had a big smile.
"Here let me take you to Joel's place." I
followed Tommy to this big home.
"He lives in this place? Its massive." I stared in awe.
"Yeah the houses can be big here." Tommy knocked on the door, and the door opened.
"Look who I got."
"Kid?" Joel looked so happy to see me as he pulled me into a hug.
"Oh my god, you got so big!"
I chuckled.
"Yeah Maria already told me."
"Come in!"
He let me in and I looked around.
"This is a nice place you got Joel"
"Yeah, it's a nice place. Want some coffee?"
"Nah i'm alright."
I saw a picture of him and Ellie. I picked it up.
"Hey, where's Ellie?" I missed her so much.
"She should be on patrol, but she'll be back in a few hours."
"Oh, okay."
"How is she?"
"Uhm.. I don't know." Joel's voice got sadder.
"Have you talked to her?"
"Not in months."
"Wait what? Why?"
"I think its best if she tells you when she's ready."
"Okay..."
I put the picture back.
"But I do know she misses you, she made a portrait of you in her room."
I smiled.
"Well can you give me a tour of the town?"
"Yeah, for sure. Let's go."

He then showed me around the town, and it took a couple hours but we circled back to the diner.
"Hey, Logan." I turned to see Maria.
"Yeah, what's up?"
"Want to surprise Ellie?"
"Yes" A smile grew on my face

She then lead me to her room and let me in. It was a nice little place. Cozy.
I saw the portrait and stared at it.
"Wow I used to look like that?" I said to myself.
I then saw her guitar and sat down and started playing, then I heard the doorknob open, but I faced away.

ELLIE'S POV

I came back from patrol, ready to throw myself on my bed, but as I got close to the door I heard my guitar.
I opened the door, looking at the ground.
"Joel, what did we say about being in my room without me being here?"

I then saw that it wasn't Joel. I could tell from the back of this persons head. So i pulled out my switchblade.

LOGAN'S POV

"Who are you?" She said.

"You know, I'm surprised you were able to get my good side on that picture." I chuckled putting the guitar down.

I turned around, and heard her knife drop to the ground.

"Hey, Ellie."

She was shocked, and had tears in her eyes.

"Logan?!"

"Yeah I get that a lot." I said playfully.

She ran up to me and gave me a tight hug.

"Holy shit! I thought you were dead!" She started to cry.
"In your dreams." I looked down at her and she looked up.

"I missed you, El"
She pulled away and just stared at me.
"You got so tall, and your voice, and you have a beard!"
"Yeah, I grew up." I smiled and sat on her couch. She quickly sat next to me.
"I missed you so much Logan."
"Yeah me too, there wasn't a day that i didn't-"
She interrupted my sentence with another hug. Her warmth against mine reminded me of what I had felt years before. I felt 16 again. I missed this feeling.

"How did you? Where were you?" She was stumbling over her words.
"Ellie, we can talk about all of that tomorrow. I just want to be here, with you."
She smiled.
"Okay."
I took off my jacket, revealing the tank top I had under.
She stared at my body, her face getting red.
"You okay El?"
She shook her head.
"Yeah i'm uh- Yeah im okay." She put her hand on my shoulder.
"Your old bullet wound."
"Yeah, it healed pretty well considering."

We heard a knock on her door.
"It's Tommy" The voice said.
Ellie got up and opened the door.
"Hey Ellie, Maria wants you and Logan to eat some food." He handed her a container.
"Yeah, sure." She smiled.
Tommy turned to me.
"You settling okay, kid?"
"Yeah better than okay." I gave him a smile.
"Well alrighty then, if you need anything I'm a block down the street."
Ellie closed the door and put the container on the table.
"Come eat."
I got up and went to the table.
She opened up the container and gave me a fork. It was steak.
I took a bite.
"This is some pretty good fucking food. You don't want any?"
"Nah, I already ate." Ellie giggled.

After I ate, Ellie and I were laying on her bed. She had her head on my chest and we were under the covers.
"I'm so tired El"
"Then we can take a nap."
"You dont have to-"
She interrupted me.
"Logan, I haven't seen you in years. I'm gonna cuddle you, i've missed this."
"Okay, Ellie." I smiled as I pulled her close. My arms wrapping around her, and her leg on my waist.

After a few minutes we drifted off to sleep.
