The Last of Us (Joel Miller x Female!Reader)

You Two Had A Good Chance Of Making It, And You Did

I was sound asleep on the couch, my head on Joel's shoulder and his head lean against mine, when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I open my eyes and see Ellie standing in front of us. "He says it's time to go." She said. I look up at her and nod, slightly, before I pat Joel's chest, waking him up.

"Joel, honey...." I whispered and I hear him inhale a sharp breathe. He looks down at me as I look up at him. "It's time to go." I whispered and he nods and we sit up from the couch. I look down at my right hand and see that Joel and I were holding hands, I guess we did this before we fell asleep. Joel looks at me and we smirk at each other as Henry and Sam talk amongst each other.

"Now we're gonna be moving fast, okay? So no matter what, you stick to me like glue." Henry said to Sam. "Like glue." Sam and Henry said in unison. "Got it." Sam said.
"Good. Good." Henry said as he pats Sam's shoulder while Joel and I stand up and walk over to them. "Alright, y'all ready?" Henry asked us. "Yeah." Joel and I replied. "Okay." Henry said as he goes over to another door and opens it.

"All right, y'all stay close, okay?" Henry said as he walks out of the room, Sam and Ellie follow him. "You tried this before?" Joel asked him as we walk out of the office. "Uh, yeah." Henry said, uncertain. "That's comforting." Joel mutters and I smirk at this.
"Relax, old man." Henry said to him. "I just hope you know the way." Joel mutters as we wall into another room and Henry gestures towards a door on the side. "This way." He said and it leads to some stairs, which leads all the way down to the bottom floor.

"Okay, let's try to take them out quietly. I'll follow your lead." Henry said to you two. "Alright." Joel and I replied as we walk up to the three hunters standing there, with their backs to us. They talk to each other until me and the boys jump up, grabbed them and strangle them until they passed out. 

Then we crouch walk outside and hide behind some barriers as the hunters had a large spotlight shining over the block. They shot a Clicker that was off in the behind us. The light would swoop over the street as we scurry behind some abandoned cars and concrete walls. Finally, we make it to the side where we could get a good angle at the guy that had control of the turret. 

I pull out my arrow and bow and pull the arrow back. I raise the bow and aim it at the man in control of the gun and fired it, the arrow hitting the man in the head. Then the other hunters started to freak out when they see their friend dead, which prompted Joel, Henry and I pull out our guns and start a shootout with these hunters. 

Finally, the last hunter was dead when Henry said. "Alright, we did it." Joel goes up to the gate door then turns to Henry. "Henry, give me a hand with this." He said and the two men goes to open it when I heard a familiar noise behind us. I look over and see the humvee is driving up to us. "Ah, shit." I said in shock. The men look over and see the humvee coming. "Oh, no. Hurry, c'mon." Joel said as they get the door open and we run inside. Then Henry and Joel shut the door and lock it and we run away from the door.

"Keep your eyes open, we ain't out of this mess yet." Joel said as we come up to a large container. "Alright, check it out." Joel said as he boosts Henry up to a ladder that was hanging off the top edge of the container. Henry climbs up then looks around. "We're good. Sam, let's go." Henry said. "Alright, kid. C'mon." Joel said and he boosts Sam up. Sam grabs the ladder, climbs up and Henry pulls him up. 

"Oh shit." Henry mutters as a voice yells. "Open the gate!"

Joel and I turn to Ellie and gesture for her to hurry. "Hurry, hurry!" Joel said to her as he helps boost her up. She gets up and grabs the ladder but of course the ladder breaks. "Ellie!" Joel and I yelled as Henry grabs her hand and pulls her up while the ladder falls off completely. 

"Move outta the fucking way. We're gonna ram it. Go!" We hear a hunter yell.

"Okay, we gotta get them up." Ellie said as her, Sam and Henry look down. Henry keeps pacing across the top then looks down at us. "I'm sorry. We're leaving." He said.
"What?" Sam asked Henry. "What? This is bullshit!" Ellie yells as Henry and Sam start to run off. "What the fuck, Henry?" Ellie screams just as we heard the gun from the humvee goes off. "Oh shit." Joel and I mutter in fear just as Ellie jumps down next to us.
"We stick together." She said and we start to run towards a building and Joel and I pull up a garage door. "C'mon, into the building! Let's go!" I yelled at Ellie just as the gate door opens and the humvee starts to drive towards us and Ellie runs under the door.
