There will be smut in this but it might not be as smutty as my other stories. And it won't happen right away it will be kind of a slow burn. And this will have some flashbacks in it.

Description:

Yn watched Sarah before the outbreak. She was with them when everything happened. Through the years she pulls away from Joel and Tommy and joins the fireflies. Then she goes off with Tess and Joel outside the walls to get Ellie to the state house. Marlene told her to make sure Ellie is safe and unharmed. Yn has always had a crush on Joel back then when she babysat for him.

They started to have something between them when they got to Boston's QZ. Joel couldn't deny that she was beautiful. And she filled part of that gaping hole in his chest where his heart was supposed to be. He did everything to protect her on their journey and even after. But he became so overprotective to the point that yn couldn't stand it anymore.

He was treating her like a child and although she understood why he did it, she just couldn't deal with it, and on top of that–there was Tess. She was closer to his age and once he started to let her in and trust her they became closer and yn became jealous. They started to fight and eventually yn walked away. She joins the fireflies and hasn't seen or talked to Joel in almost ten years.

That is until she's forced to go on the mission of getting Ellie to the State House. Then she has no other choice but to be around him and speak to him. Joel isn't too thrilled about it either but he can't deny that she still fills that small hole where his heart is supposed to be.

Side Note:
Yn nickname has always been firefly. It was given to her by her grandmother when she was little. She used to tell her that she used to be obsessed with fireflies. Always getting excited in the summer when it would get. She'd go outside and run around the backyard. Then when her grandfather passed away from a heart attack she became the blinking light in the dark for her Nonna. She could never be sad when yn were around. She was her happiness just like the fireflies were her happiness.
