MATURE READ: We loved each other with fragments of ourselves that were dead - Nikita Gill

Love. Such a poignant emotion. Such a terrifying feeling to give into. One that is stored right in the precious cavity of the heart. A sentiment that can turn the toughest of people plush but can forge such an aggressive desire to protect. A dangerous intensity, even more so when you're left to find it in the obsolete remains of what was once planet Earth.

Or

Joel finds himself catching feelings for an existing resident of Jackson. Feelings that he just can't seem to ignore but it's not all plain sailing as they navigate through one another's trauma.

Disclaimer to say that I do not own the last of us or any of the canon characters, these belong to naughty dog.

I will be using references from both the HBO show and the game so I'll let you guys decide who you want to base the canon characters on :)
