PART TWO
INFECTED

IT WAS EARLY when you had made your way to trade in ellie and misha, which was supposed to be happening but you didn't see any fireflies yet, which was pretty weird to you.

you walked next to misha who had his head lowered, his eyes toward the ground while he kept his hand on his mini knife.

"how did you get bit?" you asked with curiosity.

misha took a minute to answer before he finally did, letting out a heavy sigh. "went into this arcade with a girl named emilia. she uh..showed me where the uhm, arcade machines were. we accidentally made a sound and then boom, we both got bit. i got bit the worse though." he replies.

"oh. i- i'm sorry to hear that." you replied as you continued walking with him. "does your uhm, blood really work? could it really be a cure?"

misha nods. "yes. me and ellie's blood. our blood could be a cure. i wouldn't mind saving someone if they were bit, i want the surgery to go through."

when you went to speak misha placed a hand on your shoulder and stopped you, "promise me something." he whispers.

you look at him, watching as the wind blew against his hair. "yes? anything."

"promise me that if you're ever in trouble, or if something ever happens to you, or if you ever-- and i mean ever get bit," misha spoke. "tell me. and i can use some of my blood to help you."

you frown. "misha..you-- you don't have to-- you barely even know me--"

"i wanna know you." misha replied. "i can't lose anyone else. i can't lose you, too."

for the first time, ever since you started, you've never had someone care for you this much. aside from joel, tess, and your parents, misha would be the fourth.

"i will." you say as his hand cups your cheek, he stares at you for a long while before stepping back and clearing his throat.

"onwards we go." misha replied as the two of you walked together, but you both paused when you heard shouting in the distance.

out of instinct you grabbed misha's hand, he gave it a gentle squeeze. "let's hurry and catch up."

you follow tess as ellie and misha stuck behind you, a flashlight was in your hand. out of everyone here you were scared but when you needed to fight or if you needed— you would.

when you arrive to the museum, misha stood next to you, he gazed up at the sky as you saw his freckles— he must've had full body freckles since his body was pretty much half full of them.

"you've gotta be fucking kidding me." ellie says next to you.

"well, there's a way across from the top floor." tess spoke.

"well, then i guess it's fine." misha said, "we aren't gonna die. it's like i won't, hmm, fall down and break my neck--"

"misha!" you hit his arm, "not funny."
