Ellie Williams x y/n female reader<3

"You know, I really like you." (Fluff)

"You wanna walk by yourself? Oh, ok well let's see how you go."
You watch Ellie stumble forward, feet nearly tangling, almost sending her over.

"Hey, let's just" you start,
"I'm fine!" Ellie waves away your words with one hand. The action almost sending her over.

"Here, just put your arm around my- or just fall. That's ok too." You sigh and pick the girl up off the cold wet ground.

"Your so silly,"
Ellie says as you hoist her arm over your shoulder
"I don't need your help to walk" she says with a laugh.

God.
You think,
She is three sheets to the wind.

You and a few friends had gotten together to hang out after patrol.
one thing led to another and soon enough, Jessie had dared Ellie to a drinking game.

Jessie, too stubborn to be shown up by Ellie, and Ellie too prideful to let Jessie win, had both drank until Jessie threw up. Therefore ending the game.
Much to Ellie's triumphant delight.

"Oh my god Ellie." You pant, "this is why I should never let you drink."

Ellie giggles.
"I feel fine," she slurs, which sends her into another fit of giggles.

You sigh. For gods sake.

Luckily, Ellie's house was only a few blocks away.

You stumble along with your tall, drunk load. The rain drizzling and making you shiver.

"You know," Ellie says thoughtfully, "I really like you."

You let out a breathy laugh, "I sure hope you do, I'm your best friend for fucks sake."

Ellie's face darkens for a second, before she nods and shakes her head.

"Yeah, yeah you are."

Your heart flutters as the thought strikes you, she might not have meant that.

Don't be an idiot. If she liked you she would have just come out and say it.
You think.

You look at her, she stares straight forward, pointedly making no eye contact.

The rest of the walk there is spent in silence, Ellie's face hard and unreadable.
Your chest feels heavy, filled with a sort of longing sadness.

Reaching her house, you kick the gate open and steer Ellie up the stairs and through the door.

Pulling her drunken body up the stairs, you manage to get Ellie to her bedroom.

You drop her on the floor and she moans, "I've been wounded."
You roll your eyes.
"You'll survive."
"Not likely."

You pull a t shirt and a pair of pajama pants out of her dresser before squatting down in front of her unmoving body.

"Alright, c'mon." You say, sitting her up and pulling her shirt that smelled greatly of alcohol over her head.

You swallow as you see her bare chest. Her abs were hard and defined, but her breasts were just the opposite. Small, perky, and perfect.

You look away, feeling like you somehow crossed some line that wasn't meant to be crossed.
Sure you've been best friends since you were both fourteen, but still.

Pulling the shirt on over her head, you finally gain the courage to look at her again, and find her watching you with an intense gaze.
Her green eyes seeming to stare straight through you, reading every thought on you mind.

You blush and look down.
"Here," you mumble, giving her the pants, "put these on."

You know it will probably take her a minute to put them on in her drunken state, but the awkwardness of doing that too might be too much.

Stop it oh my god.
You think,
Sure, she might be funny, and tall, and smart, and utterly breathtaking, and have the most wonderful eyes, and-
You cut yourself off.
No. The point is, she probably doesn't feel like that for you.

You sit there, eyes on your hands until Ellie clears her throat.
"You ok?" She asks quietly.
You nod. "Yeah, yeah I'm fine." You smile and look at her.

She's sitting cross legged, looking very tired and drunk, but there's also a look of minuet distraught there.

" let's get you into bed." You say, standing and hoisting her up from under the shoulders.

You both stumble over to her bed, before tossing her on the bed and pulling the blankets out from under her.

"Y/n?" Ellie says in a small voice,
You ignore her.
"Try to get a lot of sleep." You say, pulling the blankets over her.
"Y/n,"
You don't make eye contact.
"And try to drink a lot of water-"
"Y/n!" She says, grabbing your wrist, forcing you to look at her.

Her green eyes stare into yours with something akin to fear.

"You know earlier when I said that I liked you?" She says quietly.

You nod.

"Well, uh I didn't mean like a friend."

Your breath catches. Is she serious?

"I mean, I do like you as a friend, like I'm not saying that or anything, but I mean I like you in a different way too, like in a I love you way."

"Ellie-"

You stop and let out a breathy laugh.
"Ellie your drunk." You say. Not making eye contact.

"I know that y/n, but no that's not why I'm saying it." She says. Still gripping your wrist.

"I have liked you for a long time. Like, a real long time but I didn't say anything."

You finally look at her, her eyes so deep and sincere.

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"Well me too." You whisper.

" I actually more then like you, I actually love you." Your heart is pounding, this is insane, but it's happening.

She smiles,
"Me too, me too y/n."

She pulls you down and kisses you gently. She tastes like tequila, but you don't care. This is still perfect.

You pull away and giggle. Your face burning bright red.
"What?" Ellie asks, confused,
The puzzled look on her face only makes you laugh harder.

Your laughter makes ellie laugh too, starting out small, but soon turning into full belly laughs.

She has a surprisingly light laugh for such a serious person. You don't think you've ever heard her laugh this hard.

Once the giggles subside, you smile.
This was both one of the weirdest but also best nights you've had in a while.

"Um, y/n?" Ellie asks,
You look at her,
"Would it be weird if I asked you to stay with me tonight? I just kinda don't want to be alone."
She swallows, "and I just kinda want you close to me, your just so comforting."

And this is when you know she's drunk. Sober Ellie would never have asked something like that, you were kinda enjoying this vulnerable side of her.

"Of course Ellie." You say, climbing into bed beside her, and wrapping your arm around her waist.

"Thanks." She whispers, entwining her fingers in yours.

Ellie's breathing starts to slow and the pressure on your fingers starts to decrease.
But before she fully passes out, she mumbles "hey y/n?"
"Yeah?"
"I love you."
You smile and press your lips to her temple.
"I love you too."

Hey guys, sorry it's been a while since I updated, not the part I was planning to publish, but I haven't finished working on that one yet. Thought i should probably update sometime, so here's this for now. Hope you enjoyed, and let me know if you want more fluff like this or not! :))

(Also I know the chapter name is kinda stupid but I like putting some part of the dialogue as the title, and I couldn't really think of a better one.)
