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

I'm Never Letting You Go

(A/N: For anyone wondering where this came from, this is based on the Left Behind DLC.)

"Shit. C'mon, gimme something." I muttered, frantically, as Ellie and I look around some drawers. "Fuck!" I growled at another empty drawer. "Here we go!" Ellie exclaimed. "You find something?" I asked her. "Yeah!" She said as she holds up a roll of duct tape. I sighed with relief and we run over to Joel, who was laying on top of an old door we found and decide to use as a pallet for him to lay on.

We took shelter in an old mall and started to look around for supplies, and find anything that could help us save Joel.

"Okay." Ellie said as we kneel beside Joel. "We're gonna put you on your side, honey." I said to him and Ellie pushed him up to his side. He lets out a grunt as I pull up his shirt and my jaw drops at the hole on his abdomen. "Shit...." I muttered as I reach behind me and place one of Ellie's shirt over his wound, like it was a bandage. "I'm sorry about your shirt, Ellie." I said as she uses the tape and, tightly, tape the shirt against his side. "It's alright. As long as it'll help save him, I don't care." She said as she finishes up.

"Okay." She said and I pull down his shirt to cover up our homemade bandage then placed him back on his back. Joel groans and breathes heavily as we set him on his back. "That should buy us some time." Ellie said to him. "We're gonna find something to stitch you up, okay?" I said to Joel as I raise my hand to his forehead and stroked his short hair, trying anything to comfort him.

"Callus....keep an eye on him." Ellie said to the horse as she gets up. "We'll be back soon. I promise." I whispered to Joel before I lean down and kissed his forehead then his cheek. I stand up and follow Ellie towards the gate and both of us pull it up, opening it, then duck and turn around to shut the gate behind us.

I place a padlock on the gate and lock it with a key. "We totally got this." Ellie said to me as I pocket the key and take some deep breathes. "Yeah....yeah, we do." I said as I  look over at her and nod. "Alright....now where the fuck do we go?" She asked as we turned around to face the rest of the mall area. "Good question." I muttered as we started running up the old escalators, leading us up the second floor.

We look around the floor until I saw a Mall directory, which was a sign that tells us what shops they had and where to go. I run towards it and look it over. "Weston's Pharmacy." I said as I point at the name of the store. "That sounds promising." Ellie said as I look to see where to go. "It's not that far. Just go straight forward and on the left." I muttered and we start to head towards that direction.

We come up to the store to see that it's gate was half opened so both of us had to crouch and walk.under the gate then stand back up. "Okay, if we spread out we might be able to look through this store faster." I said and she nods and we separate and look through all the shelves.

"What the hell? Did you just swallow the pills and leave the bottle?" Ellie grumbles as she looks  through a shelf and I look through another. I found a pill bottle then pick it up and shake it but of course nothing. "Come on." I growled as we continue with our search.

"Of course. Everything's picked clean." I exclaimed after a few minutes of searching. "(Y/n), over here!" Ellie shouts and I go over to her. She was behind the counter and looking through a door. I walk up next to her and she points through the window.
"First aid kit." She said and I sigh with relief then I grab the handle but it was locked. "Of fuckin' course." I muttered, angrily. "How the fuck do we get inside?" She asked and I shake my head. "See if you can find a key or something." I said and we looked around the counter.

"Hey, I found a note." Ellie said and she shows it to me.

PLEASE READ!
Pharmacist went crazy and attacked me. I hit him pretty hard. He's unconscious. I locked him in the American Princess store next door.
PLEASE GET HIM HELP!
