creds to @dearbaes for the trope idea!! love your work :)
the first time your brother brings ellie over, youโre on the couch, knees tucked under you, a bag of sour gummy worms balanced on your stomach.
you donโt look up at first.
you just heard the front door click shut, your brotherโs voice rumbling about some new game heโs been playing.
and then a second voice, a little raspy, a little nervous, laughing at something he said.
โโand this is my sister,โ your brother says, and you finally glance up.
ellie williams is standing in your living room like sheโs not sure sheโs allowed to be there.
sheโs all flannel and freckles and a mop of auburn hair shoved under a backwards baseball cap.
her hands shoved deep in her jacket pockets. her eyes land on you and she freezes.
but only just for a second. just long enough for you to notice the way her throat moves when she swallows.
โuh. hey.โ her voice cracks on the single syllable. she clears her throat, cheeks flushing pink.
โiโm ellie. obviously. your brotherโs, uh. yeah. weโre friends. best friends. i mean, i donโt know if he told you, but. yeah.โ
your brother snorts. โdude, chill.โ
ellie shoots him a look thatโs half murder, halfย please shut up forever.
you canโt help it, you smile, and she sees it.
and her whole face goes through about seventeen different emotions in two seconds flat.
โhi,โ you say, voice soft. โiโve heard a lot about you.โ
โall bad, i hope,โ she says, and then winces like she immediately regrets the joke.
you laugh, and ellie looks like sheโs just been handed the last slice of pizza at a party.
sheโs completely gone. you can tell. itโs written all over her.
three weeks later, ellie is at your apartment almost every day.
she claims itโs to hang out with your brother, but your brother works nights.
so itโs usually just her on your couch, legs pulled up, 3ds in her hands, mumbling about island layouts and how her villagers keep moving their houses into weird spots.
โyouโre really into this game,โ you say one evening, sitting beside her with a cup of tea.
youโre wearing one of your oversized sweaters, hair loose.
and ellie keeps sneaking glances at you like sheโs trying to memorize your face.
โitโs called tomodachi life: living the dream ,โ she says, holding the ds out so you can see. โyou make little people, aka miis and they live on an island and do stuff. itโs stupid, but. i donโt know. itโs cozy.โ
ellieโs eyes light up. she scoots closer, her shoulder pressing against yours, and you feel the warmth of her through her flannel.
she navigates to her island, and there they are.
a bunch of little cartoon characters with big heads and tiny bodies, wandering around in a colorful world.
โthis oneโs me,โ she says, pointing to a mii with ellieโs messy hair and a little smirk. โand this one'sโโ
she pauses. hesitates. her thumb hovers over a mii with long hair and a soft smile.
wearing a little sweater that looks suspiciously like the one you have on right now.
โthatโs you,โ she says quietly.
โi made you. i hope thatโs not weird. itโs probably weird. i can delete it, i just, i thought itโd be nice. to have you on the island. even if itโs just, like. a digital version of you.โ
you look at her. sheโs not looking at you. her ears are red, her jaw tight, like sheโs bracing for you to laugh or tell her sheโs being creepy.
โellie.โ you say, serious.
she flinches. โyeah?โ
โthatโs the sweetest thing anyoneโs ever done for me.โ you say seriously and sweetly.
she finally looks up, and the relief in her eyes is so raw, so open, it makes your chest ache. โreally?โ
โreally.โ you say, jokingly.
you lean in and press a kiss to her cheek, soft and quick. ellie makes a sound like a deflating balloon.
and when you pull back, sheโs bright red, grinning.
โokay,โ she says, voice a little hoarse. โokay. cool. so. do you want to see our apartment? in the game. i decorated it. itโs not much, but thereโs a cat.โ
โyou gave us a cat?โ you ask, curious.
โobviously. weโre lesbians. we have to have a cat.โ ellie says sarcastically.
you laugh, and she laughs too.
and the two of you spend the rest of the night on the couch, shoulders pressed together.
watching little digital versions of yourselves fall in love on a tiny island screen.
and when your brother comes home at 2am, he finds you both asleep, your head on ellieโs shoulder.
her cheek resting on your hair, the ds still glowing faintly on the coffee table.
he doesnโt say a word. just turns it off, drapes a blanket over both of you, and heads to his room, smiling to himself.
