    Summary

    Dina raises her mug, holds it out for him to clank against.

    “What exactly are we cheersin’ to?” Joel asks, smacking his cup against hers without an answer.

    She takes a sip, swallowing her tanned, sweetened coffee and releasing a long, “Ahhh,” as she does so. “To…loving people enough that you stay awake the whole night for them.”

    Joel doesn’t repeat it back, just lets the words settle deep in his gut, sliding on down his esophagus much like hot coffee that burns the whole way.

    “Sure thing, kiddo. Sure thing.”

    or: The Joel and Dina become something like best buds despite Ellie refusing to so much as even acknowledge Joel's existence fic.

    Summary

    and some things can.

    (A story that picks up on the night Ellie leaves the farm, from the moment the door closes behind her. She never makes it out of the yard.)

    //

    “I said if you loved me, you would stay,” Dina says carefully, crossing the room to stand opposite Ellie, arms folded around her sides, like she’s trying to hold the pieces of herself together, keep her spine from crumpling under the weight.
    “I am staying,” Ellie says quietly, eyes looking up to meet Dina’s.
    Dina presses her hands on the table in front of her, leaning forward to look more closely at Ellie. “I don’t believe you,” she replies, hating herself for how vulnerable her voice sounds.
