Accepting the Unexpected (Ellie x Abby) (TLOU2 AU!)

Indescribable Intrusive Interuptions (FORESHADOWING!)

Following the unexpected events of the College Campus hallways, Ellie and Abby sat on the couch in Abby's living room, overthinking tremendously about whether or not they should make a move on each other.

Well, unless your name is Abby, your lips would be too terrified to connect with the warmth of Ellie's.

I already did...

Was that a mistake? Or...

No, Abby. No, it wasn't... Not if you enjoyed it.

But did Ellie enjoy it?

Well, she did kiss me back...

There's no fucking way. Maybe she felt obligated to kiss me back.

No, I'm delusional... I'm never gonna know if I don't ask!

Right when Abby was about to speak up and spew out her feelings in the form of word vomit, the cutest noise snapped her out of her trance.

She glanced over at Ellie, who was sitting at the opposite end of the couch, looking exhausted beyond measure.

That absolutely adorable noise she had heard mere seconds prior was simply the sound of Ellie yawning. But boy... Was it adorable.

Awww, oh my god... Tired, are we?

Finally, Abby placed a hand upon Ellie's knee, running her thumb along her kneecap in continuous circular motions.

"Hey... Wanna lay down?"

Abby asked, her eyes never once escaping the gaze of Ellie's drop dead gorgeous green eyes. A stark contrast to Abby's caramel colored brown eyes...

Ugh, those fucking eyes... I could stare into them all day if she'd let me.

Upon overhearing Abby ask her if she wanted to lay down, Ellie was suffering through her own personal battle of intrusive thoughts.

I can't stop thinking about that kiss...

Her lips tasted so good.

Those muscles are everything I could ever want and need...

Goddamnit, Ellie. Control yourself! You are so delusional! Maybe she only kissed you to get you off her back...

Yeah, that has to be it...

No, maybe not. Oh, for fuck sakes!

Although, at the mention of a possibility of getting some long awaited shuteye, Ellie couldn't turn that request down.

Still though, she was too stubborn to say yes right away. Ellie had spent the last hour and a half since that kiss fighting off the urge to pass out. She just couldn't bring herself to stop thinking about that kiss...

"No, thanks..."

Ellie nonchalantly responded, speaking through yet another yawn. Her head began to slowly droop onto the armrest, highlighting her exhaustion.

Upon closer glance at her future girlfriends eyes, Abby couldn't keep the frown from forming across her face.

Ah, so that's why she was late to her first class today...

Abby inaudibly gasped once she took notice of the major eye bags underneath Ellie's eyes. It was clear that she had pulled a graveyard shift the previous night, resulting in the 21 year old almost missing her first class period.
