FLASHBACK
“ Joel, you sure this gonna work? “ You gasped and took a seat next to Joel. For a few months , you had been almost obsessed with thinking about how to propose to Ellie. Whenever you looked for an opportunity, either someone intervened or you didn't manage that time well. You had chosen Joel as a last resort, but it was obvious that choosing Joel was not so good.
When you came to Joel a week ago and asked him if he could arrange a wonderful place with a beautiful view in Jackson, he said he needed to talk to Maria and Tommy and left you unanswered for a week. It turns out that there was no such place in Jackson. “ Well, we found this place while I was patrolling that area with Tommy. It's not a secret place, that's for sure but nothing we can't handle kiddo. “ He said, giving you that gorgeous Miller smile. You weren't so sure about that. Getting out of Jackson was already dangerous. Yes, it had a long time since you went out to look around and you got out of it but how right was it to propose to Ellie in such a situation that danger still awaits you out there?
“ Joel… I-I don't know. What If something goes wrong? “
“ Don't worry, girl. i gotcha “ Seeing your face fall, he lifted your chin with his fingers, patted your head, stood up, picked up the walkie-talkie and went outside. He was obviously on his way to talk to Tommy. In order not to disturb him in his own house, you entered the house you shared with Ellie and hoped that Ellie would not come at that time you pack the gift you were going to prepare. You wanted everything to be perfect for her.
END OF FLASHBACK
Ellie was staring at you in surprise, her head agitated from following you with her eyes as you scurried to and fro. “ What are you doing? You okay? “ You nooded your head and sighed in relief, secretly putting the gift you prepared in your bag. You took everything with you. Everything was ready for this day to be perfect. Joel and Tommy did what they said and prepared a really great place for you. It took a while, but it seemed worth it.
"Yeah, I'm ready." You opened the outer door but had to pause for the last time. Ellie gently pushed you out before you're eating yourself up wondering if I really got it all. “ You're being weird you know. “ “Oh well. It's me being me, I guess. “ You chuckled and you made your way to the barn with Ellie. When Ellie was talking about Maria acting so weird at dinner last night and Dina throwing up all the time, you didn't even hear her , wondering if the day was going to be good or bad. Ellie nudged your arm with hers realizing this. “Hey babe, you're listening? “ “Yeah I am. “
“ Really? What did I just say then? “ You just stood there at that moment. Even when you opened your eyes wide and looked at her, Ellie never broke that grin on her face. She looked like she was going to laugh for a moment, but took on a fake expression of anger. “ I-you-you were talking about the food last night. Yeah, you were-were saying how good it was and- " “ I might love the food more than you right now. “ You grinned and gave her an apologetic kiss on the cheek. “ Sorry baby. Just lots of things on my mind lately. " Ellie hummed and said quietly, ' it's okay babe ‘ After getting on your horses and a short pep talk, you stepped out of Jackson's big door. Although Ellie thought you were going to do your usual patrol work, you had to take her on a different path on the way. Of course, this did not escape Ellie's notice. She complained to you a few times what was going on, why you took a different path, that that side wouldn't be clean, but you just wanted her to trust you.
“ Ellie just trust me, okay? I know what I’m doing. “
“ Well it’s not our route. “
“ I know but- “ You exhaled with difficulty. “Just trust me. It will be worth it.” . At that moment you really hoped that when you got there, everything would be fine and you could make a wonderful proposal to the love of your life. Ellie gave up her objections after a while. It didn't take you long to get there, as Joel had already said they found it on their way. The area had been cleaned, contrary to what Ellie had thought. There was no diseased. But there was still the possibility that other people would come. Even though you always thought of the bad until that moment, you couldn't describe the joy when you saw the building. Here, you were going to tell her that she is the meaning of your life, that you love her very much and that you want to spend a lifetime with her. Finally, officially you would be Ellie's and Ellie would be yours.
“ What is this place? “
“ You ask too much. “ You said and got off your horse. You held out your hand to get her to get off the Shimmer as well. Ellie couldn't hide her surprise at this behavior, but she took your hand and let her put her down. “ Wow, you're such a prince now huh. “ You laughed. After taking the horses to a safer place, you took her hand while Ellie was tending her horse, and you eagerly followed her up the stairs to the main area.
Although the building you are in looks like it is really rundown from the outside, it was very different from the outside where you were. You were really surprised that Joel made this place so tidy, but you hid it. You were on the top floor of the building. It could have been a roof, but Joel had put a white umbrella with artificial ivy hanging from the sides where you were sitting. Starry fairy lights placed next to the cushions to avoid attracting too much attention seemed to make this place even more beautiful. You let go of Ellie's hand and quickly set off to turn on the lights. “ What- I'm sorry but what the actual fuck? “ After you had done the work of turning on the lamps, you went to her. Her face naturally looked very strange but also funny. “Come. Hold my hand, please. “ You said as quietly as you could. Ellie took your hand, but she seemed undecided whether or not to go. You finally got her to sit on the mat, take your foods out of the bag and put them on the cover, and since you were going to give your gift lastly, you kind of hid it by taking your bag behind you and were careful for her not to see it. When you looked at Ellie, you saw that she was admiring the view in front of you. It wasn't fair because you loved this look just as much as Ellie. “ I thought I'd surprise you with something like this. I know you like these kind of scenes. “ She turned her head to you and smiled with those beautiful dimples. She grabbed one of your hands and squeezed it gently, as if in thanks. “ Thank you baby but you didn't have to. “ “Nah. Don't even dare to tell me that I didn't have to. If you say it again. I'm gonna tickle you 'till you die. “ In response, she threw her head back and laughed. “ I'd like to see you try baby. “
“ As much as I want to do that right now, I'm very hungry and I can eat you any minute. “ “ Well, babe, although I really would like to see you eating me but I'm hungry too so maybe another time. “ You both laughed when she said that. After watching the magnificent view in front of you for a few more minutes, you started to eat.
It was almost evening by the time you finished your meal, and it was time to go, as it wouldn't be nice to be in the dark. You caught Ellie's attention with a fake cough as she watched the sky with a smile on her face with her arm under her head. You took the bag behind you without hesitation, but your hands were shaking as you pulled out the box. Ellie was watching you with a frown, carefully following your every move. Or was it what she was thinking? You coughed to let her focus on your face again, and you stood up, taking her hand and asking her to get up. “Stay. “ You said, looking at her like a kitten. It was a request rather than an order. It was a hope. It was excitement. Indeed, even though you had rehearsed this, your hands and feet were trembling in fear of screwing things up in front of her. You paused for a moment and knelt before her, breathing heavily. Ellie was standing in front of you with her hands at her sides. Even though that emptiness on your face startled you, you didn't back down. There was no turning back from this.
“ You know I'm not very good at my choices with words, but I'm trying for you. We've been together for a while and not a day goes by without you, Ellie. You've always been by my side. In every sense. But I don't know if I'm being selfish by asking things to get serious but Ellie, I love you and- and will you marry me,babe? “ You finished quickly for fear of screwing up your words. With your head bowed, the ring box made by Joel and the wooden but elegant, painted ring also carved by Joel in your hand, you waited extended towards Ellie, hoping she would accept your proposal. Even though you were serious in your words, it made you proud that you didn't say what you said while rehearsing. Those words were an exaggeration. They didn't reflect you.
When you least expect it, Ellie grabbed your arms and lifted you up, raising your still slanted head on both cheeks with both hands, planting a kiss on your nose. “ I don't know what you did to do these but you could've just asked me,baby. “ She said in a low voice and you said in the same tone,“ I know but I wanted to see you happy like this, you watching the scene in front of us while I watch you smile. S-so what-" She immediately closed your lips, interrupting you. The light of the fairy lights reflected so beautifully on Ellie's face that her baby-like face was clearly visible. You even forgot the box in your hand while she was kissing you. Pulling back, Ellie bent down, picked up the box and handed it to you. “ I want to get it from you baby. “ You nodded with an enthusiastic smile and handed the box again, but this time you didn't ask the question. She took the ring in her hand, smiled, and put it on. As she did that, you threw the box to be never found again, and you grabbed her waist and swirled her around with laughter and kisses in between. Now you were each other's and no one could separate you. As they say, until death do you part.
You managed to pack up and make it to Jackson before the evening too fell. You were so happy that you could finally spend time with Ellie like this and surprise her , and even everyone could see it in your eyes. After passing through Jackson's great pass, you came to your house hand in hand, but the light was on. Just as Ellie was about to open the door, you stopped her and said you had a plan. You both chuckled like witches at this insidious plan and entered the house to implement it.
Your plan was to play a very bad prank on the Miller family and your friends. You told them that you couldn't propose to Ellie, that she was very grumpy and that you were fighting until you were there and you faked a fight in front of them.
While Jesse mockingly watched this fake fight, the others were trying to separate and reconcile you. You both got a strong slap from Dina when Jesse, who could silence you all with his loud voice, said that he understood it was a joke, but in the end it ended with laughter and congratulations. Before leaving the house, Joel said good night and left the house after looking at you both with sad, tearful but proud eyes and stroking both of your heads affectionately. After the door closed, you and Ellie turned to each other, and after turning off the lights, you kissed each other with love and longing. It was like a dream that day, but that dream didn't turn into a nightmare only depended on having Ellie by your side. Finally, the words that couldn't be said before were said and the happy ending was reached.
